As President-elect Trump’s inauguration approaches, Trump supporters are happy in their thoughts that Trump will halt the inflow of immigrant-invaders, pardon the wrongly imprisoned Jan 6 attendees, stop America’s participation in wars that benefit only Israel, and hold accountable scoundrels such as FBI director Wray, AG Garland, and a large number of FBI, DOJ, and...

Previously: Chuck Schumer Calls on Homeland Security to Use Better Tech to Identify Drones John Kirby Now Says New Jersey Drones are Stars It’s still not clear what the purpose of the drone hoax is, actually. Chuck Schumer has to go out and say he’s against it, but as we’ve said repeatedly, there is simply... 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...

The media brothel has presented the HTS terrorist/democratic opposition as Syria’s rescuer promising peace and friendship. But videos emerging reveal a campaign of violence, hangings and machine-gunning of people. It is Muslims killing Muslims, Arabs killing Arabs. The reason Arabs are powerless is that they had rather kill each other than fight against their common... Read More
What is clearly a joint US-Israeli plan to remake the Mideast map is now well underway. Changes will be seismic. The Biden administration, by now almost totally controlled by pro-Israel neocons, is making its final major moves by loosing a Parthian shaft into the heart of the Mideast. Syria – or what’s left of it... Read More
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....

Although his public service career stretches back for nearly sixty years and he probably ranks as one of our most distinguished professional diplomats, until the last year or so I was only dimly aware of Charles W. "Chas" Freeman, Jr. I had occasionally read some of his opinion columns and perhaps one or two of... Read More
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
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,...

See: War-Loving Fox News Defense Secretary Hopeful Says Women Shouldn’t be in the Military (He is a Faggot) Trump picked a Secretary of Offensive Judaism. This creep is obsessed with Israel and has called for war with Iran. But he’s also a Fox News host, which isn’t something that is typically a resume for a... Read More
Americans keep asking why the US is fighting this proxy war in the Ukraine, and the answer is usually “because we are so moral, we need to force Russians to become gay.” But Lindsey Graham will claim that he is actually looting the country on behalf of the American people. That might sound bad, but... Read More
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
In 54 BC, Marcus Licinius Crassus, a rich, ambitious Roman businessman, got himself named governor of the wealthy province of Syria. Crassus had been sharing power in Rome with Pompey and Julius Caesar. Call him the Donald Trump of his day. Crassus decided to invade neighboring Parthia, which is today Turkey and Iran. At the...

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
It is dangerous for Trump supporters to think that the battle is over with the election victory. The battle has not begun, and it never will if Trump cannot put together a fighting administration. There are about 4,000 political appointees in the Executive branch, 1,200 of which have to be confirmed in office by the... Read More
Previously: Trump Appoints “The White Nikki Haley” as UN Ambassador (Obsessed with Jews, The Ukraine, All of It) This hasn’t happened yet, so maybe it’s not worth reporting, but there’s not much going on today. Reuters: It’s so funny that Reuters thinks “first Latinx” is more important than “obsessed with war with everyone.” He will... Read More
Trump announced over the weekend that Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo would not be included in his administration. The people hoping against all reason that “this time will be different” claimed that this was evidence that this time will be different. Writing on this, I said that whoever he did pick would be just as... 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...

The Post article quotes Peskov multiple times and yet failed to update the article to include his statements saying this conversation did not happen the way they reported it. Typical fake news – they won’t even print the statements of the people they lie about. Trump did call Putin, but they did not talk about... Read More
Mike Whitney, one of the few intelligent and realistic commentators in the United States and Western World, has raised a worthy and demanding question. Did the Deep State permit Trump to win so that they can use him to recruit America’s young men to fight a war for Israel against Iran, a task beyond Kamala’s... Read More
Oh my, the elites of the Democratic Party, their clerks in media and “the donor class” began gasping as election night wore on and it came clear that they had once again mistaken what we call liberal America for America. America has shifted rightward, The New York Times reported Wednesday with evident surprise. We are... Read More
On Monday night, hours before the polls are to open, Joe Rogan posted his interview with Elon Musk to Twitter and endorsed Donald Trump. It’s pretty clear Trump is going to “win” this election. Obviously, without fraud he would win by a huge margin, the only question is how powerful the fraud will be and... Read More
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
The filthy Jew terrorist Victoria Nuland, a Russian Jew who was the architect of the Ukraine war as part of an ethnic revenge agenda, has moved into the internet censorship movement, accusing Elon Musk of being a Russian agent and calling for a total shutdown of the freedom of speech to defeat Russia. Nuland was... Read More
Israel teeters at the edge: it will not be able to impose itself over the plurality of resistance that it faces. Centuries ago a boy was born. His parents understood that he had a remarkable fate before him which reflected the Will of the Great Shaman. His hair was light, his eyes were light green,... Read More
The Duran presented on October 17 an excellent discussion between John Helmer and Gilbert Doctorow moderated by Alexander Mercouris about how Russian military and civilian decisions are made. The knowledge I gained enables me to update my take on the situation, which I will now do. The Ukrainian invasion of Kursk, which has been defeated,... Read More
As the conflict expands across the Middle East, western leaders refuse to implement any red lines for Tel Aviv Nearly a decade ago, a leading Israeli human rights activist divulged to me a private conversation he’d had a short time earlier with one of Europe’s ambassadors to Israel. He was shaken by the exchange. The... Read More
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
Over the weekend, the Commander of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), General Michael Kurilla, arrived in Israel to “coordinate” with the Israeli military and plan a military strike against Iran. Think about that for a moment: one of the highest-ranking officers in the US military is planning a war in a foreign country against another... Read More
Except for the neoconservatives whose agenda it is, I sometimes wonder if I am the only other person who understands what the Ukraine conflict is about. In 2007 Washington declared war on Russia without announcing it. Putin provoked Washington’s secret declaration of war when he rejected Washington’s uni-polar hegemony at the Munich Security Conference. Washington’s... Read More
As another October approaches, the beautiful season of colors begins here in New England. Call it October’s Surprise Party. The turning leaves with all their colors come to announce the earth’s glory, the possibility of peace and happiness for all. Yet as the month transpires and November nears, I think we might expect what for... Read More
When Israel committed its forces to Gaza, it was a perfect time for Hezbollah to attack and overrun Israel. But Hezbollah sat on its butt and pissed away its strategic advantage. Now after numerous Israeli strikes and communication device explosions, Hezbollah has lost most of its leadership. In Israel’s latest air strike on Beirut, Lebanon,... Read More
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
The eleven month anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attacks on Israel passed two days ago and in two more days we will reach the twenty-third anniversary of the September 11th Attacks on America. Both these events have become so infamous that they are now among the tiny handful that can easily be identified merely... Read More
In 1989 I served as an advisor to the first post-communist government of Poland, and helped to devise a strategy of financial stabilization and economic transformation. My recommendations in 1989 called for large-scale Western financial support for Poland’s economy in order to prevent a runaway inflation, enable a convertible Polish currency at a stable exchange...

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
Trump says that if Iran does assassinate him, “which is always a possibility, I hope that America obliterates Iran, wipes it off the face of the Earth.” Think about that for a minute. What is it that Israel and the neoconservatives want most? The answer is for the US to wipe Iran off the face... 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
This week’s presidential debate made me both horrified and dismayed. Here was the world’s most powerful nation trying to decide which elderly candidate to select as its presidential candidate. Maybe the best expression is ‘cringe-worthy.’ Joe Biden was left looking feeble and halting before the bombastic Trump. At least Trump made some sense in what... Read More
This confirms what I reported at the time, but there is more to the story. Not only did Israel know in advance, Israel participated in the attack upon itself. Several Israeli intelligence officials and commanders of sections of the barrier separating Israel from Gaza have made it clear that it is impossible to even approach,... Read More
Prelude The first week of June, I watched all thirteen episodes of a mini-series called Amerika (1987) I had briefly seen in part thirty-odd years before. Yes, I know it is a Hollywood production. Yes, I know it is fiction, just as I know that (e.g.) 1984 is fiction. Yes, I know many of the... Read More
On Monday I published a long article describing my recent discovery of the enormous potential value of AI chatbots to my own work. Like many of us, I'd vaguely followed the growing advances of Artificial Intelligence (AI) software over the last few decades, culminating in the development of systems that could beat the world's best...

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...

After passing the Ukraine aid bill this week, arch warmonger Mitch McConnell, a man with a 6% approval rating whose entire existence surrounds servicing the Jews, claimed that the entire reason it took so long to get the bill passed was because Tucker Carlson disagreed with it. He was asked why it took so long,... Read More
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. Since 2020 The Economist has maintained the most authoritative account of the... Read More
In “Iran Tries To Restore Regional Balance; Israel Continues To Murder And Get Away With Murder,” a HARD TRUTH podcast, ilana and David Vance have a heated discussion about Iran’s response, on April 13 and 14, to Israel’s murder of senior commanders in Damascus, on April 1. Six other Iranian nationals and six Syrian citizens... Read More
Even Republican stalwarts like current Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are starting to notice that something is shifting in the party. While McConnell announced recently that he would step down as Republican leader in the US Senate, in an interview last week he was adamant that he would continue to serve out his term in... Read More
