When I read the Washington Post story on John McCain's mad scheme to bolt the GOP and form a "centrist" third party, my first thought was: I've got Nostradamus beat. This, of course, is the typically self-referential mindset of any writer – just so you'll know...
McCAIN’S MUTINY
When I read the Washington Post story on John McCain's mad scheme to bolt the GOP and form a "centrist" third party, my first thought was: I've got Nostradamus beat. This, of course, is the typically self-referential mindset of any writer – just so you'll know...
MY FELLOW AMERICANS
A note from Justin Raimondo: Since I'm suffering from heat prostration today (it's currently 101 degrees here in San Francisco!) and since I didn't take Memorial Day off, I'm taking a break today. But here's a past column that I know you'll find interesting. It was my...

Why Lie About Pearl Harbor?
I'm planning on going to see Pearl Harbor the day it opens, but not without some trepidation: you see, I'm going with my Significant Other, who is Japanese. Not Japanese-American, mind you, but Japanese-Japanese. So what's the problem? THE FEAR FACTOR The problem is...
The Myth of Pearl Harbor
With the release of Pearl Harbor, a cinematic reenactment of the popular myth handed down to us by Roosevelt's hagiographers, the Memorial Day weekend will culminate in an orgy of lying war propaganda. The movie, starring somebody named Ben Affleck (so I'm not into...
McCaffrey Must Go
In denying that he is a war criminal who attacked retreating Iraqi soldiers and killed thousands in the Gulf War after the ceasefire, Clinton's drug czar, Gen. Barry McCaffrey has been all over the media, booked from morning 'til night, running hard and fast to beat...
