Israel is no friend to Jesus
My rewrite of the famous quote by Lord Palmerston regarding “interests” to have it reflect the reality of Israel and its powerful friends would go something like this: “I say that it is a narrow policy to suppose that Israel is to be marked out as the eternal ally or the perpetual friend of the...

Here's what the media is not telling you about last Saturday's nuclear negotiations with Iran: There were no negotiations. Not in the conventional sense of the word, at least. What actually took place was more akin to a late-night comedy skit than a gathering of diplomats hammering out a deal on nuclear enrichment. At no... Read More

One day we will really all be victims
Many Americans will be relieved to learn that US Embassy employees and their families in China can no longer have "romantic or sexual relations" with local Chinese. It is certainly a move long past due which will keep us safer together with those 125% tariffs that we will be hitting the Chinks with. But beyond... Read More

What has happened to the Constitutional Republic where all are equal under law?
I recently read an article by investigative historian Eric Zuesse, author of America’s Empire of Evil, that began “One of the core features of nazism (not the German political Party but its core ideology) is racism, which allows some ethnicities (or “races”) to be advantaged by law, and other ethnicities to be discriminated against by...

Beatings and arrests continue both in the US and the Middle East
The news cycle over the past week has been dominated by reports and analysis of the Signal group chat involving top national security officials discussing aspects of the recent air strikes which have been directed against the Houthis in Yemen. There are four basic issues that are being examined by both the media and by... Read More
This is the last chapter of the genocide. It is the final, blood-soaked push to drive the Palestinians from Gaza. No food. No medicine. No shelter. No clean water. No electricity. Israel is swiftly turning Gaza into a Dantesque cauldron of human misery where Palestinians are being killed in their hundreds and soon, again, in... Read More

Trump's push for a ceasefire in Ukraine has less to do with Ukraine than it does with Israel. In other words, Trump's hasty negotiations with Putin are not aimed at ending the proxy war with Russia as much they are with shifting the frontlines from the Donbas to Iran. This 'shift in focus' has become... Read More

A geo-political reading of Israel’s incipient civil war Israel is deeply fractured. The schism has become bitter and heated as both sides see themselves to be in an existential war for the future of Israel. The language used has become so venomous (particularly in reserved channels in Hebrew) that calls for a coup and for... Read More

We’re nearly 50 days into Trump’s new ‘Golden Age,’ and yet, somehow, a large-scale war in the Middle East seems more likely now than at any other time since 2003. The obedient 47th President is determined to perform every trick that Benjamin Netanyahu and Miriam Adelson demand of him, regardless of whether or not their... Read More
One of the biggest lies promoted by the US and Israel is the pretence that, in slaughtering Gaza’s children, Israel has been acting in the interests of Israelis held in the enclave Those of us who keep banging on about Israel’s use of the so-called “Hannibal directive” on 7 October 2023 – in which Israel...

Give Miriam Adelson her $100 million back and tell her to go home
President Donald Trump’s address to Congress and the nation on Tuesday night was remarkably devoid of any mention of why the United States continues to both enable and be complicit in the Ukrainian conflict with Russia as well as with the war crimes that are being committed by the state of Israel against nearly all...

Since Franklin D. Roosevelt orchestrated World War II, defeated the British Empire by stealth, seized its gold and usurped its position as the world’s number one power, the Ugly American has (in his own mind at least) bestrode the world. And who is this Ugly American? According to Wikipedia: “’Ugly American’ is a stereotype depicting... Read More

It’s the overwhelming sentiment in the White House and Congress
After Donald Trump began to pull together his cabinet and inner circle it became pretty clear that the overwhelming tie that bound the group together was its embrace of Israel and everything that it is doing. There were even jokes that the top cabinet officials had apparently been selected by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of... Read More
The Holocaust is the quintessential example of human evil for people in the West. In the rest of the world, especially in the Global South, the atrocity of the Holocaust — genocide — has had a closer proximity both in time and place. Colonialism in Africa, destructive wars in Asia and most recently, genocide in... Read More
Western leaders and media are helping bolster a propaganda narrative about the Israeli captives that makes the resumption of Israel’s slaughter all but inevitable Israel sustained the West’s support for its slaughter in Gaza for 15 months only through an intensive campaign of lies. It invented particularly heinous Hamas war crimes, such baby beheadings and... Read More

“This is Putin and Trump’s world now”. Trump and his team have been busy dismantling – and exposing to public view – the mechanism to the all-encompassing narrative control machine which has been shown to be both authoritarian and industrial in its global scope. The Musk investigations have begun to peer into the USAID complex.... Read More

Trump’s innovation is not the threat to ‘clean out’ Gaza. It is dropping a long-standing aim to dress up Palestinian expulsion as a peace plan Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s intention from day one of his “revenge” attack on Gaza, launched 16 months ago, was either ethnic cleansing or genocide in Gaza. His ally in... Read More

Say goodbye to Palestine
The Trump Administration, in place for only a little over three weeks, has gone full speed ahead in its advocacy for Israel. Donald Trump’s invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit him at the White House, the first foreign head of state to be honored in that fashion, set the stage for a... Read More
Trump's proposal to deport Gazans to Jordan and Egypt has been widely condemned. The plan risks alienating Arab American voters, strengthening anti-U.S. sentiment in the Middle East, and reducing Washington’s credibility. The proposal could undermine future cooperation on regional security. U.S. President Donald Trump recently called the Gaza Strip a “demolition site,” and said the... Read More
In this latest episode of the Scheer Intelligence podcast, host Robert Scheer welcomes recurring guest Ray McGovern. McGovern, a former CIA analyst, reflects on his Cold War-era experience, contrasting past apolitical intelligence with today’s politicized and misleading assessments, particularly on Iraq, Ukraine, and Russia-China relations. The two also discuss U.S. foreign policy, including Trump and... Read More

Rumble link Bitchute link “Israel,” a euphemism for the genocide of Palestine, is deliberately sabotaging the ceasefire in hopes of resuming its genocide of Gaza.

In his 1987 book The Art of the Deal, Donald Trump describes a stunt he pulled a few years earlier that involved deceiving Holiday Inn executives into partnering with him on the construction of a casino. Trump, who owned a strip of land along the Atlantic City boardwalk, lied when he told the hotel chain’s... Read More
MOSCOW – The 14th Middle East Conference of the Valdai Club in Moscow was hit by a geopolitical bunker buster bomb right in the middle of the proceedings: the announcement, by US President Donald Trump himself, of some sort of future Trump Gaza Riviera Resort and Casino in Palestine.

President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 2025. The White House, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
Donald Trump does not seem to have too much trouble shocking people. In the three weeks since he resumed his residency in the White House, he has shocked the Danes (America must have Greenland), the Canadians (Canada will become our 51st state), the Panamanians (the Canal is ours), and the Mexicans (It’s “the Gulf of...

During Netanyahu’s visit, Trump dropped Washington’s sugar coating of Israel’s 15-month genocidal destruction of Gaza. This was always about ethnic cleansing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House this week tore the mask off 16 months of gaslighting by western leaders and by the entirety of the western establishment media. United States... Read More

Putin hinted this week that the Ukraine conflict could end in weeks, so Trump may not have a long wait. How to do the impossible? America is instinctively an expansionist power, needing new fields to conquer; new financial horizons to master and to exploit. The U.S. is built that way. Always was. But – if... Read More

Netanyahu wins another one from an ignorant White House
The problem is that those folks who are looking nervously at what President Donald Trump is doing to reshape the Middle East to the benefit of Israel are not looking deeply enough into the US domestic policy changes that are also being promoted that will strip Americans of fundamental rights like freedom of speech or...

umerous international and domestic leaders reacted to President Donald Trump’s announcement, made during a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, proposing the United States “take over” the Gaza Strip. Along with this declaration, Trump suggests that the Palestinians affected by the conflict should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt. His intention to... Read More
From the time it became obvious that Donald Trump was going to win the 2024 election, I said that this whole thing was going to be about Israel. We’d be lucky to get a few things from him, but it would be the Israel administration. However, when he came in, he made a point to... Read More
Holding hands with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, US President Donald Trump has adopted genocide as his personal method for destroying the Arabs of Palestine. “Really very unlucky”, Trump declared the Palestinians have been for being the wrong people in the wrong place. “Being in its presence just has not been good and it...

First foreign leader to meet with the new president at the White House
President Donald Trump has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet with him at the White House on Tuesday February 4th. Netanyahu will be the first foreign head of state to visit America’s new president at the White House and the message being sent by virtue of that fact would seem inescapable, i.e. that... Read More

Ever since Tel Aviv’s 1948 creation, much has been said and written about ‘Greater Israel’ – the notion Zionism’s ultimate end goal is the forcible annexation and ethnic cleansing of vast swaths of Arab lands for Jewish settlement, based on Biblical claims that this territory was promised to Jews by God. The media typically dismisses... Read More

The “ceasefire” will be violated and war with Iran promoted
The eminent Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus in a biography of his illustrious father-in-law Gnaeus Julius Agrippa famously wrote “Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsis nominibus imperium, atque, ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.” Which translates in the Loeb Classical Library edition as “To plunder, butcher, steal, these things they misname empire: they make a desolation and they...

In the immediate aftermath of the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, the Jewish state received the usual outpouring of sympathy from the craven leadership classes of the West. That is to be expected from politicians who are bought off and extorted by Jewish interest groups. That said, Israel also received a deluge of support from... Read More

On one hand, the ceasefire agreement appears to be the worst deal that Hamas could have made. But on the other hand, the agreement helps to show that---after 16 months of nonstop slaughter and destruction---Israel has failed to achieve any of its strategic objectives nor has it dampened the spirits of the indomitable Palestinians. On... Read More

What concessions did Steve Witkoff offer to Netanyahu?
The negotiations in Doha involving the United States, Israel, Hamas, Egypt and Qatar remind me of Frank Sinatra’s query “Is it an earthquake or only a shock?, is it a good turtle soup or only a mock?” Given the history of the various Middle Eastern peace proposals of one kind or another that have briefly...

Piece Plan – by Mr. Fish
Israel, going back decades, has played a duplicitous game. It signs a deal with the Palestinians that is to be implemented in phases. The first phase gives Israel what it wants — in this case the release of the Israeli hostages in Gaza — but Israel habitually fails to implement subsequent phases that would lead... Read More

In acts of wanton destruction, Netanyahu destroyed the prevailing status quo, which he saw as an American straitjacket Like a smashed antique clock – with its elaborate cogs, ratchet wheels and innards splayed out from the casing – so the mechanics of the Middle East lie similarly exposed and broken. All the region is in... Read More

What exactly is being inaugurated?
The big news over the past week has been the record breaking California fires, which have destroyed more than 9,000 homes. There have been the usual slick denials from the politicians over who was responsible for the promised but not executed clearing of brush in forested areas. I particularly enjoyed the comment by actor Mel... Read More
It all comes down to serving Israeli interests.
In a move straight out of left field, the incoming Trump administration is slated to recognize Somaliland as an independent state, according to a report by Semafor. Somaliland is a former British colony bordering Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Somalia that declared independence from Somalia in 1991 without receiving international recognition. Under international law, Somaliland is currently... Read More

The ousting of Syrian President Bashar al Assad has put the United States, Israel and Turkey on a fast-track to a broader and more violent conflagration. By removing Assad and obliterating the state, the coup managers created a power vacuum that has been filled by the proxy armies of the most vicious and aggressive nations... Read More

It’s time to end Israel’s destruction of Christianity in Palestine
The death of former President Jimmy Carter started me thinking about how long it’s been since the United States has been led by a head of state who was also a thoroughly decent human being. To be sure, while in office Carter made many mistakes in terms of both foreign and national security policy, but... Read More

Is Biden poised to ban 2025 by executive order?
Something good happened in Washington last week, suggesting that the year might actually end on a high note without Joe Biden starting World War 3 and opening up all the country’s prisons for the on-the-street rehabilitation of the inmates where they will undoubtedly learn new skills. The good thing was the signing by Biden of... Read More

Whistleblowers and other government activists need to be heard
The early November detention of Asif Rahman, a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer, indicted in a federal national security court in the Eastern District of Virginia on two counts of “willful retention and transmission of national defense information under the Espionage Act,” was largely downplayed in the national media. He was arrested by the Federal... Read More

Israelis generally are celebrating their ‘victories’. Will this euphoria weigh with U.S. business élites? Syria has entered the abyss – the demons of al-Qa’eda, ISIS, and the most intransigent elements of the Muslim Brotherhood are circling the skies. There is chaos, looting, fear, and a terrible passion for revenge scalds the blood. Street executions are... Read More
Take a look at the map above. It explains everything. This is roughly the situation on the ground today. The majority of Syria's landmass is controlled by 5 groups: Al Qaida (HTS), the Kurds (SDF), the IDF (Israel), the Turks, and remnants of the Syrian Army (SAA). Of course, the situation is extremely fluid so... Read More

Syrian land will be annexed into “Greater” Israel
My former CIA colleague Larry Johnson has a real ability to clarify the significance of the constantly growing deep dark hole that Joe “Mumbles” Biden, he of failing mental capacity, has hurled the American people into.

In the famous lines of Tacitus, Roman historian, “To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace.” In our age, it is Israel and the U.S. that make a desert and call it peace.

If Trump submits to Israeli control just as Biden did, we need a revolution

The US has confronted no real security threats since the Cold... Read More
