There’s something strange brewing on the horizon. In an unexpected turn of events, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro urged President Donald Trump to pardon former police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of killing George Floyd in 2021, at the end of his podcast video episode on March 4, 2025. Shapiro contended that Chauvin’s... Read More
The famous professor is merely a restrained neocon
In the last few years, Professor John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago has become an alternative media celebrity for advocating contrarian views over Russian’s invasion of Ukraine and Israeli genocide in Palestine. Professor Mearsheimer is a world-renowned political scientist and IR scholar. He has written many impactful books – The Tragedy of Great Power... Read More
I have been keeping fairly close track on the Senate confirmation hearings but never came across any mention of these exchanges. The New York Times, e.g., has nothing to say about them in its article “4 Takeaways from Tulsi Gabbard’s Confirmation Hearing.” Nor is there any mention of these exchanges in a second Times article...

Israeli military forces have moved to within 15 miles of the Syrian Capital of Damascus. The IDF has seized large tracts of land in southern Syria it intends to occupy and where it will eventually build checkpoints, military outposts and settlements. The "lightening" invasion has been accompanied by a massive bombing campaign that has obliterated... 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

Hans Vogel argues that the rise of BRICS as a successor to the Non-Aligned Movement reflects a global shift away from Western dominance, fueled by the decline of US imperialism, the failures of neocolonialism, and a resurgence of nations striving for true sovereignty and indigenous values. Now that BRICS is expanding and becoming increasingly powerful,... Read More

Tehran and Moscow harbor no illusions – and are preparing accordingly. The war on BRICS is just getting started. Syria as we knew it is being eviscerated in real time – in geographic, cultural, economic and military terms – by an appalling confluence of mercenary Rent-a-Jihadi mobs and psychopathological genocidals praying at the altar of...

When westerners see ‘enemy’ governments fall, or civil wars erupt, they are led to think they are the geopolitical equivalent of a natural event. Nothing could be further from the truth The long-harboured aspirations of the US, Turkey and Israel to topple the Syrian government, mainly through their rebranded al-Qaeda allies, succeeded at lightning speed....

If Trump submits to Israeli control just as Biden did, we need a revolution
A photo popped up on the internet last week which was a bit surprising even for those of us who have been overly obsessed with the seemingly aimless and highly dangerous comedy routine that describes itself as the United States of America’s Foreign Policy. The US has confronted no real security threats since the Cold... Read More
Vietnam War? Iraq War? Or the Creation of Israel? Or World War I?
It's often been said, during and in the aftermath of the Iraq War, that it was the single greatest foreign policy failure/fiasco in US history. Was it? Of course, given the passions surrounding the event then spiraling out of control, many agreed with the assessment(especially given the incompetence of George W. Bush), but in retrospect,...

More than just a dangerous provocation aimed at Russia, the ATACM and Storm Shadow attacks represent an attempt to turn foreign policy on its head. “The Deep State whispered to Trump: ‘You cannot withstand the storm’. Trump whispered back: “I am the storm”. The war is on. The Deep State has launched a war of... Read More

Ultimately, this is the story of how the Israel lobby undermined America, wrecked the Middle East, and set a series of international crimes against humanity in motion. It’s official now. America’s closest ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the one accorded more than 50 standing ovations in Congress just months ago, is under indictment by... Read More

Politics by its very nature is the art of duplicity in the service of ambition. Donald Trump’s victories in the selections of 2016 and 2024 (to say nothing of 2020, when his win was stolen in full view of any who cared or dared to notice) are a testament to the truth of that statement.... Read More

If George W. Bush was elected to a third term in office, this is what his cabinet would look like. Rubio, Waltz, Stefanik, Hegseth. Not a peacenik among them. Not an antiwar candidate among them. Not even a non-interventionist among them. Every single pick is a hard-boiled, right-wing war-hawk that is committed to marching in... Read More
11 NOVEMBER—The notion of a distant ally serving as “an unsinkable aircraft carrier” seems to be nearly as old as aircraft carriers. It means a usefully located landmass, typically but not always an island, that cannot be scuttled and can serve as a forward base for the projection of force. Over the decades, various hegemonic...

In September 2024, the President of Argentina, Javier Milei, addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York. While many lauded the speech as a great libertarian event against the statist status quo, the truth is that Milei only continues to prove that he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. True to his contradictory style,... Read More
The recent BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia should mark the end of the Neocon delusions encapsulated in the subtitle of Zbigniew Brzezinski’s 1997 book, The Global Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives. Since the 1990s, the goal of American foreign policy has been “primacy,” aka global hegemony. The U.S. methods of choice have been... Read More

Is it Israel and its Powerful Lobby or The White House or No One at all?
It probably would surprise no one to learn that there are several viewpoints among critics of the current wars devastating the Middle East regarding who is actually encouraging a growing bloody conflict which might soon involve at least six countries in the region. In simple terms, there is a school of thought that believes that... Read More
As another October approaches, the beautiful season of colors begins here in New England. Call it October’s Surprise Party.

The events of 11 September 2001 were intended to impose and enshrine a new Exceptionalist paradigm on the young 21st century. History, though, ruled otherwise. Cast as an attack on the US Homeland, 11 September 2001, immediately generated the Global War on Terror (GWOT), launched at 11 pm on the same day. Initially christened “The... Read More

Israelis have been deeply divided these last years, unable to coalesce around a government. After five general elections, they decided to dismiss the Lapid/Gantz team and to put a new coalition – formed around Netanyahu and small Jewish supremacist parties – into power. However, soon after the formation of the new government, there occurred an... Read More

For the sake of America's security and world peace, the U.S. should immediately abandon the neocon quest for hegemony in favor of diplomacy and peaceful co-existence. In 1992, U.S. foreign-policy exceptionalism went into overdrive. The U.S. has always viewed itself as an exceptional nation destined for leadership, and the demise of the Soviet Union in... Read More

A Secularized Globalist Vision Which Will Destroy Civilization
The recent controversy over the Israeli incursion into the Gaza strip has also revealed some deep fissures within the Conservative Movement. For despite the massive support for the Israeli invasion from both establishment Democrats and Republicans, there have been cautionary voices raised on the Right, in particular, by significant journalists such as Tucker Carlson (via...

The global Covid epidemic began more than four years ago, and although its visibility has largely faded over the last couple of years, displaced in the headlines by Russia's Ukraine war and the more recent Israel-Gaza conflict, its lingering impact has been enormous.

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin addressing an AIPAC forum in Washington, D.C., Jan. 10, 2023. (DoD, Alexander Kubitza)
As was to be expected, considering the extreme complexity of the U.S.-Israel relationship, our recent article on “The Myth of Israel as ‘US Aircraft Carrier’ in Middle East,” far from settling this controversial issue, aroused numerous objections. We see these disagreements as an invitation to respond, in the hope that a friendly debate can contribute... Read More

Victoria Nuland's retirement is an admission that Washington's premier foreign policy project has failed. No government official is more identified with the Ukraine fiasco than Nuland. She was on the ground micro-managing activities during the 2014 coup, and has overseen the State Department's sordid involvement since the war began. Her career-path is inextricably linked to...

The video is here. Tucker’s interview with Mike Benz is incredibly important.

“At the times and places of our choosing” is one of the gayest of all the US government slogans. Honestly, it’s really gay that the military engages in this constant sloganeering in the first place.
