Iraq, the failed state that over 4,600 (and counting…) Americans died to free from some evil tyrant 13 years ago, is still ranking high internationally in something. Unfortunately, that something is corruption. A couple of other places where America has been intervening for freedom also made the list. Germany’s Transparency International released its newest corruption […]

The media focuses like a laser on terror attacks like we saw in Brussels last week. The endless news cycle pores over every detail, every angle. But what happens when US-backed Saudi jets bomb a market in Yemen, killing five times as many as died in Brussels? Silence. What about the million people who died […]

Donald Trump recently gave a lengthy interview to The New York Timeson the all-important subject of foreign policy. During the campaign thus far, Trump has distinguished himself among the other presidential candidates for his willingness to be the most outrageously horrible on this subject in some cases, while also being the sharpest voice of reason […]

Your State Department loves loves loves #socialmedia. They will use it now to defeat ISIS, maybe also the Taliban, by making a #TeeVee show for Afghans saying ISIS, and maybe the Taliban, is bad. It will only cost $1.5 million of your taxpayer dineros, so be sure to pay the IRS on time this year. […]

I’m a slow learner. It took me 80 years to learn about the Kellogg-Briand Pact and another five to visit this wonderful Antiwar.com site. But here I am with an observation and an opportunity. Antiwar activists do not realize the potential of the Kellogg-Briand Pact to change the deep-seated war culture of America. It’s a […]

No sooner had the smoke cleared in Brussels than the security “experts” began telling the Europeans they must sacrifice more of their liberty for the promise that their governments would keep them safe. Never mind that the big lesson from Brussels is that their governments have not kept them safe, the answer is always to […]

There’s an oversimplified narrative that’s really taken hold of late. "Islam is to blame for terrorism. Why, have you read their holy book? They’re just doing what the Koran tells them." There are three problems with this line of thought… It’s not useful or valuable information. Even if it were true, what would it mean? […]

I was disturbed to learn of the recent mass killing by the US government of yet another group of brown-skinned persons of unknown identity, this time in Yemen. Only two weeks ago, reports surfaced of a mission in Somalia which culminated in the deaths of an estimated 150+ terrorist suspects. The victims in Yemen, as […]

To those living “outside the Beltway” it may seem counterintuitive that those of us whose analysis has been correct on key issues that the U.S. government got criminally wrong – like the invasion of Iraq in 2003 – would be blacklisted from “mainstream” media and ostracized by the Smart People of the Establishment. But, alas, […]
