Thanks to the Israel lobby’s slander campaign against Max Blumenthal and his new book, Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel, I not only learned things about the Jewish state that I never knew, I also made a wonderful discovery – but more about that later. I confess I probably wouldn’t have read Goliath if … Continue reading “Goliath: The Book That May Delegitimize Israel’s Apartheid State”

Dear Readers: I’m taking a much-needed break today, getting some necessary research done. I’ll be back on Friday. In the meantime, check out my recent piece for The American Conservative, “JFK, Warmonger.”The suspicion that the sarin gas attack supposedly launched by Syrian despot Bashar al-Assad’s forces against rebel positions in the town of Ghouta on … Continue reading “Syria, Sarin, and Subterfuge: They Made It All Up”

Washington lies: how many times must Americans rediscover this home truth? The revelations provided to us by Edward Snowden are just the latest in a long series of whistleblower acts of bravery that have exposed the crimes of our Wise Leaders. From "Deep Throat" to Dan Ellsberg to Julian Assange and Bradley Manning, these patriots … Continue reading “A President Who Should ‘Live In Infamy’”

How many times has the Pew Research Center for People and the Press come out with a poll showing that the American people are going "isolationist"? I’ve lost count. The latest poll results show that: "The public’s skepticism about U.S. international engagement – evident in America’s Place in the World surveys four and eight years ago – has increased. … Continue reading “Long Live ‘Isolationism’!”

Remember the "Orange Revolution"? You’ll be forgiven if you don’t: Ukraine’s "color revolution," organized, financed, and planned in the West, blends into the rainbow gallery of failed Western-backed regime-change operations launched in the wake of the Soviet Union’s fall: Yugoslavia (2000), which rid the world of Slobodan Milosevic and yet failed to permanently install a … Continue reading “Ukraine Defends Its Sovereignty”

You knew this was coming – well, I certainly did. Human beings being what they are, it was inevitable. Yes, the National Security Agency really is tracking the online sexual activities of "radicals" it doesn’t like in order to discredit them. I predicted it here, but then again you don’t have to be Nostradamus to … Continue reading “Sex and the NSA”

A recent Reuters investigation into the Pentagon’s inability to conduct a simple audit of its finances highlights the principal reason why the American empire is doomed. When reconciling the Navy’s accounts with those of the US Treasury, number-crunchers over at the Pentagon’s Defense Finance and Accounting Service simply made up figures and inserted them. This … Continue reading “Tyrannosaurus Pentagonus: The Road to Extinction”

The news that the P5 + 1 and the Iranians have reached an interim agreement limiting Tehran’s nuclear program sent a chill down my spine. That may seem like a counterintuitive reaction: after all, wouldn’t a shout of joy be more appropriate? Finally, after decades of a very tense adversarial relationship – which more than … Continue reading “A Moment of Great Danger”

So you thought we were withdrawing from Afghanistan, eh? The President has announced it enough: once in 2011, once in 2012, and once in 2013. So if someone says something often enough, does that make it necessarily true? Well, of course not, and certainly not in this case, because NBC News has the scoop: "While … Continue reading “We’re Never Leaving Afghanistan”

I see Andrew Sullivan has just published an e-book of his post-/9/11 blogging, a collection of hysterical imprecations aimed at an alleged "fifth column" on "both coasts" out to undermine America’s moral certainty. It is appropriately titled "I Was Wrong." You have to give the guy some credit: what other writer would do this? As … Continue reading “In the Time of the Witch-Hunters”
