Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has been chewing down his fingernails ever since President Trump’s first suggestion that US troops should come home from the Middle East. Last December, when Trump made it clear that he wanted to end the US troop presence in Syria and let the people of the region take care of their … Continue reading “Lindsey Graham: ‘Steal Syria’s Oil To Pay for US Occupation!’”

To say that Clifford May, founder of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, loves war would be an understatement. He loves almost everything about war and he thinks the US should be in a lot more of them. He thinks that the US should never go home, should never withdraw troops, should forever be … Continue reading “For Cliff May, War Pays”

There must be something about being named US Ambassador to the UN that brings out the inner mass murderer in people. Madeline Albright famously admitted that she thought 500,000 dead Iraqi children due to US sanctions was “worth it.” John Bolton never met a disagreement he didn’t want to turn into a war. Samantha Power … Continue reading “Nikki Haley Meltdown: Assad Must Go… and War With North Korea!”

Last week I wrote an article and did an interview explaining that in my reading of the new Russia sanctions bill just signed by President Trump, there is a measure opening the door to a US government crackdown on some of the non-mainstream media.

The bill adds additional sanctions on Russia as punishment for the as-yet-unproven claims that Moscow … Continue reading “House Passes New Russia Sanctions, Pumps Adrenaline Into Cold War 2.0”

Donald Trump came to the White House with a reputation as a top notch businessman. He built an international real estate empire and is worth billions. He then went into reality television, where his signature line as he dismissed incompetent potential employees was, “you’re fired!” On Friday, President Trump held a long-awaited face-to-face meeting with … Continue reading “Ambassador Nikki Haley vs. President Trump”

Here’s what the media and politicians don’t want you to know about the Manchester, UK, suicide attack: Salman Abedi, the 22-year-old who killed nearly two dozen concert-goers in Manchester, UK, was the product of the US and UK overthrow of Gaddafi in Libya and “regime change” policy in Syria. He was a radicalized Libyan whose … Continue reading “Manchester Bomber Was Product of West’s Libya/Syria Intervention”

The much-anticipated Intelligence Community report backing up its claims that the Russians hacked the US elections in November has just been released. Titled “Declassified Intelligence Community Assessment of Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections,” the report is long on speculation and short on any evidence for the claims it was supposed to prove. … Continue reading “Is That All There Is? Intel Community Releases Its Russia ‘Hacking’ Report”

Sit down. This is going to shock you. (Not). We reported Monday on the telephone call between US president-elect Trump and Russian president Putin, where the current and future presidents discussed the need to set aside differences and look to more constructive future relations. With serious observers of this past year’s increasing tensions between US … Continue reading “McCain to Trump: Don’t You Dare Make Peace With Russia!”

Looking over the global landscape, the areas most touched by US interventionist foreign policy are objectively in the worst, most desperate shape.
