President Jimmy Carter departed this world with 2024. He was a good man outfoxed by Washington. A populist, he was not the establishment’s choice for president which set about weakening him by framing his Director of the Office of Management and Budget and then turning on his chief of staff. President Carter intended to continue... Read More
It is some years now since a lot of people began imagining the specter of World War III in the near or middle distance. This kind of thinking has been especially common since the U.S., with determination and purpose, provoked Russia to intervene in Ukraine three years ago this coming February. A few weeks later...

Jewish writers and leaders were not wrong when they declared that the surprise raid on Israeli territory launched by Hamas on the morning of the 7th of October 2023 changed the direction of world affairs. At first the linguistic elevation of a calendar date into a distinct phrase in the English lexicon seemed melodramatic; “October... Read More
From Renaissance Florence, one of the – few – peaks of humanity, now living in memory, tread carefully across this flame-filled 2025. FLORENCE – It’s a dazzling Tuscan winter morning, and I am inside the legendary Dominican church of Santa Maria Novella, founded in the early 13th century and finally consecrated in 1420, in a...

Decades ago I became fully convinced that UFOs were real. I even accepted that past visits to our planet of such space aliens had been the basis for many of the religious myths of different societies all around the world, just as Erich von Däniken had argued in his massive 1971 bestseller Chariots of the...

The term “lachrymose” should be in the lexicon of all modern dissidents. According the first entry in my 1984 Webster’s II dictionary, it means, “Weeping, or given to weeping: tearful.” This term gained prominence regarding the Jewish Question in the late 1920s when historian Salo Baron coined the “lachrymose theory” of Jewish history, which describes...

Jimmy Carter, out of office, had the courage to call out the “abominable oppression and persecution” and “strict segregation” of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza in his 2006 book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.” He dedicated himself to monitoring elections, including his controversial defense of the 2006 election of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, and...

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
American patriot General George C. Marshall strongly opposed the partitioning of Palestine because he knew that the creation of a Zionist state at the heart of the Arab world would severely undermine US regional interests while fueling endless conflicts across the Middle East. In short, Marshall and his allies at the State Department grasped that... Read More
Editor’s Note: This article was originally published in Playboy Magazine in November, 1976, accompanying Robert Scheer’s famous interview with President Jimmy Carter, and has been pulled from Robert Scheer’s book, ‘Playing President’ and posted here at ScheerPost in light of Carter’s death on December 29, 2024. The book was published by Akashic Books, Ltd. You... Read More
The Vietnam War is recognized as one of the major foreign policy blunders in recent US history. Its casualties include more than fifty-eight thousand American lives lost, a hundred and fifty thousand US soldiers wounded, three million deaths in Vietnam, and a million deaths in Cambodia and Laos. The environmental damage to Vietnam and Laos... Read More
Even its critics must admit that Yellowstone was a cultural force. It drove a minor boom in “Western” clothing and aesthetics and more than one spinoff series. Several mainstream media outlets thought it was key to understanding American conservatives, especially the fantasy version of America they supposedly hold. The show’s popularity derived partially from its... Read More
In 70 AD, Herod’s Temple was leveled to the ground by the Romans, fulfilling Jesus’s prediction for this “den of thieves” (Mark 11:17): “There will not be one stone left upon another that will not be thrown down” (Mark 13:2). Whether Jesus really said that, or the prophecy was attributed to him in hindsight, the... Read More
Sir John Major was Conservative Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1990 to 1997, and only ever an interim premier after Margaret Thatcher was ousted. All he is really remembered for is that he signed the Maastricht Treaty, which began Britain’s entry into the EU, and the fact that his father was a circus trapeze-artist.... Read More
Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, and Medecins Sans Frontieres are all agreed. But the Gaza genocide is now just another routine news item, buried on the inside pages Three separate reports published this month by leading international human rights and medical groups have detailed the same horrifying story: that Israel is well advanced in its genocide...

Last week a top Russian general named Igor Kirillov was assassinated outside his Moscow home. Lt. Gen. Kirillov had served since 2017 as head of Russia's Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear Defense Troops, obviously a position of great importance, and together with an aide, he was killed by an explosive device, with the Ukrainian government immediately...

Syria has been disintegrated and pillaged in the name of ‘liberating’ Syrians from the threat of ISIS, which they – Washington – had installed in the first place. James Jeffrey, former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq and Turkey, in a March 2021 interview with PBS Frontline, laid out very plainly the template for what has just... Read More
What follows is an edited transcript of an interview conducted by talk radio host James Edwards with Patrick J. Buchanan several years ago about Pat’s book Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World. This transcript has never before appeared online and is being published now... Read More
For over two decades, I and a handful of others — Sheldon Wolin, Noam Chomsky, Chalmers Johnson, Barbara Ehrenreich and Ralph Nader — warned that the expanding social inequality and steady erosion of our democratic institutions, including the media, the Congress, organized labor, academia and the courts, would inevitably lead to an authoritarian or Christian...

When I first wrote about the historians’ reaction to Darryl Cooper’s condemnation of Winston Churchill, I was unaware of Niall Ferguson’s interview with Konstantin Kisin. Ferguson, I knew, particularly objected to Cooper and Carlson’s comments on the present state of Britain, which now contains more than eighteen million occupants of foreign ancestry. In his interview... Read More
George Galloway It’s the one and only, Chris Hedges up now on the Mother of All Talk Shows. Chris, it’s been a momentous week. We haven’t had the opportunity to speak you and I about it. What’s your overall takeaway? What happened, why? And what’s the where for? Chris Hedges Well, the project to overthrow... Read More
Rumble link Bitchute link FFWN link “Israel is a cancer on the Middle East.” Resistance leaders across the region have used that metaphor for generations. The Zionists who dominate American politics, finance and media have attacked it as inappropriate. But is the metaphor inaccurate? Cancer occurs when a diseased cell or cells begin uncontrollably expanding... Read More
In the high summer of 1940, the politicians who comprised the British Government faced a terrible and momentous problem. So, on a personal level, did the new British Prime Minister from May 10th, Winston Churchill. More on this later. At the time, the British Empire is often said to have ruled a quarter of the...

“Ukrainian” is a creole language. Specifically, it is Russia mixed with Polish. Its use was very limited before the US went into the Ukraine in 2014. Notably, Vladimir Zelensky could not speak it before he ran for president. Forcing people to speak this goofy bastard poor people gibberish would be like if in the Civil... Read More
In a case of tragic coincidence, the place most closely associated with the uplifting story of Jesus Christ, Christmas and the teachings of the Bible is now being subject to some of the most sustained and severe death and destruction that modern society has seen. Rev. Munther Isaac, the pastor at the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas... Read More
“We are once again watching the lights of freedom going out all over the world. And it is up to us to determine if they will be lit again, ever.” — Laura Logan Lara Logan, one of the few remaining journalists, in a forum provided by US Senator Ron Johnson describes American journalism as a...

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...

Syria’s future under al-Qaeda spin-off HTS will come in two flavours only. Either submit and collude like the West Bank, or end up wrecked like Gaza There has been a flurry of “What next for Syria?” articles in the wake of dictator Bashar al-Assad’s hurried exit from Syria and the takeover of much of the...

Why did President Joe Biden visit the African nation of Angola in the dwindling hours of his presidency? No other US president has visited this resource-rich southern African nation. Biden was just finishing presiding over the slaughter of over 50,000 Palestinians. The real reason is likely money. It may have been a repeat of a... Read More
World War I was won by the powers that worked to bring it about, while refusing an early peace with Germany and Austria-Hungary. World War II was also won by the instigators, namely the US, England and the USSR. Now that World War III is gathering steam as we speak, we can state with confidence... Read More
What’s happening in Lebanon: interview with former British Ambassador Craig Murray 11 December 2024 – 19:00 The current situation in Lebanon is more delicate than ever. Despite the entry into force of the fragile cease-fire between Hezbollah and Israel, the Jewish state continues to violate the terms of the agreement, claiming that it is only... Read More
I do not know anyone who was not shocked by the lightning speed with which Damascus fell to expensively armed jihadist militias last weekend. I know very few people who do not understand that another domino has just fallen in the “seven-front war” Benjamin Netanyahu has boasted this year of waging across West Asia. I... Read More
Last week I published an article discussing former Ambassador Chas Freeman, one of America's most highly-regarded professional diplomats of the last half-century. Very early in his career, Freeman had been the personal interpreter for President Richard Nixon during his historic 1972 trip to China and meetings with Mao, and that country remained one of his...

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
My first reaction to news earlier this month that the Syrian government had been overthrown was, how much did we have to do with it; how involved was the CIA; and how much is it going to cost. As with Saddam and Gaddafi before him, we know that Assad was no libertarian hero. But unleashing... Read More
Many wonder why Putin abandoned Syria after fighting 9 years in Syria’s defense. Putin’s abandonment of Syria might have been influenced by China’s conditional support for Russia in Ukraine. China’s conditions include “no expansion of the battlefield, no escalation of fighting.” These conditions might also explain why Europe and the US have been spared strikes... 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
On 4 October I spoke to a meeting of the United European Left group of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Arriving a bit early, I sat through a presentation by a Moldovan judge, Victoria Sanduta, who was formerly the President of the Association of Judges in Moldova. She had recently been dismissed,...

We have to protect the Jews that rule over us from criticism. That’s our values of who we are in a democracy. The Guardian: Why did antisemitism increase? As elsewhere in Europe, the number of antisemitic incidents have surged in Switzerland in recent years, particularly after the start of Israel’s war against Hamas in the... Read More
President Vladimir Putin gave a party rally speech in Moscow on Saturday in which he omitted to mention seven of the eight domestic issues most troubling Russian voters – inflation; high interest-rate caused stagnation in the economy; corruption; low quality education; poor public health care; terrorism; and illegal immigrants. He made an exception for the... Read More
If there is one phrase that sums up the American conservative movement, it is “our principles forbid us from pursuing our interests.” For many years, before joining American Renaissance, I worked in Conservatism Inc., a term I may have coined. In campus activism, in campaigns, and in conservative journalism, I always marveled at the complicated... Read More
While the trauma that Palestinians continue to face in Gaza is sustained, brutal and seemingly never-ending, the universal susceptibility to trauma unites humanity as much as it divides the self. Dr. Gabor Maté, renowned physician and expert in trauma and childhood development, illustrates this point articulately on the latest episode of The Chris Hedges Report... Read More
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. Larry wrote on December 12th that “There is still plenty of time before Donald Trump is inaugurated for Joe... Read More
Ahmad Al Khaled sends this information about himself: After a four-year freeze in the conflict established as a result of negotiations between Turkey and Russia, the situation in Syria has changed dramatically. Within ten days of a rapid offensive, the fighters of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group established control over most of the country, forcing... Read More
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. The story is simple. In stark violation of... Read More
The illustration of power coming out of the barrel of a gun is from a comic book. Contemplating the reality of Russia’s position in Syria, no one in a position to know believes in cartoon captions, the credibility of the gun, or the direction in which the horse is now running. Military sources in Moscow... Read More
LONDON— “Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world…” Alot of us are familiar with these lines from Yeats’s thoroughly anthologized and often-quoted The Second Coming. How can they not come to mind as the French... Read More
Things have gotten really extreme now. This never happened during the USSR times, that I’m aware of. The US is just kidnapping Russian citizens randomly in countries all over the world as part of its interesting war stratagem. RT: Russian nationals should avoid making non-essential trips to the US and allied countries, the Russian Foreign... Read More
RFK is continuing to go hard on everything other than Israel. RT: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is lobbying for his daughter-in law to become deputy CIA director so she can get to the bottom of the assassination of his uncle, John F. Kennedy, the Washington outlet Axios has claimed. President Kennedy was fatally shot in... Read More
Donald Trump is back, and so is the “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran to “drastically throttle” Tehran’s oil sales. But 2025 is not 2018. Although Iran was on the ropes then, things are different now. America’s support for Israel’s campaigns against the Palestinian and Lebanese people has eroded local support for U.S. moves, as many...
