Reprinted from Bracing Views with the author’s permission. Reading NBC News Wednesday morning, I saw where the U.S. “is winning decisively, devastatingly and without mercy,” so claimed self-styled Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. “We are only four days in,” he added, and the U.S. “will take all the time we need” to prevail. He further […]

War rarely begins with a single decision; it grows from motives, misreads, and momentum. We sit down with Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson to map how a promised era of “no new wars” gave way to a high-stakes confrontation with Iran that could redraw the strategic landscape. He unpacks an unsettling mix of incentives—profit for well-connected investors, […]

When Daniel Ellsberg died in 2023, the world lost a unique voice of sanity. Five decades earlier, as a “national security” insider, he had released the top-secret Pentagon Papers to expose the official lies behind the ongoing Vietnam War. From then on, he never stopped writing, speaking and protesting for peace, while explaining how the […]

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: The Trump Administration was warned that any attack on Iran would lead to a regional war in the Middle East, but he chose to ignore voices of caution and went with his “feeling” as the White House described it. Less than a week later, every US military base in […]

As the US and Israel continued to wage war on Iran Wednesday, paramedics and victims’ relatives said last weekend’s bombing of an elementary in southern Iran was a so-called “double-tap” airstrike – a common tactic used by US, Israeli, and Russian forces by which attackers bomb a target and then follow up with a second […]

On February 28, 2026, the last thing most of the now one hundred and sixty-eight dead elementary schoolgirls saw was a fleet of missiles fired by the US or Israel. Their coloring books were painted red, later retrieved by parents forced to identify their newly dismembered children. Of course, I would be remiss not to […]

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: The Trump Administration cannot seem to get its goals for the war or even a justification for the attack straight. Top Administration officials contradict each other and many, like Defense Secretary Hegseth, seem more interested in tough talking rather than providing information. Meanwhile a rudderless Administration begins talk about […]

Sponsors and supporters of bipartisan resolutions aimed at limiting US President Donald Trump’s power to attack Iran are strongly urging Congress to back the measures when they’re up for votes later this week, with some observers evoking the specter of the Iraq quagmire as a warning against yet another protracted and illegal war. Anticipating Trump’s […]

Reprinted from John’s Substack: On 3 March 2026, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking about the Iran war. I told the Judge that the Trump administration was dragged into this war by Israel and its enormously powerful lobby in the US. Both Secretary of State Marco Rubio and House Speaker Mike Johnson have admitted as […]

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: Yesterday President Trump signalled that the US/Israeli war on Iran could go for “weeks, maybe longer” as he indicated that troops on the ground may be needed. Meanwhile Secretary of State Rubio admitted that Israel forced the US hand on launching the Iran attack. Polls continue to show substantial […]
