War Codes in Trump's Iran Proclamation

By Daniel McAdams

Yesterday, President Trump announced that he was canceling US participation in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JPCOA) otherwise known as the Iran nuclear deal. The president's assertions were ludicrous and factually incorrect, but the neocons who were no doubt behind the speech have never been all that wedded to the truth. It became obvious fairly on that Trump's rationale was not to be taken seriously, when he cited last week's comical stage performance by Israeli pr...

Congress To Green-Light Perpetual Global War?

The new, bi-partisan authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) introduced by Senators Kaine and Corker is billed as evidence that Congress is finally taking its Constitutional war-making authority seriously. This could not be further from the truth. Congress is about to grant the president "forever war" power and return to its slumber. Bad for America.

The NSA Continues to Abuse Americans by Intercepting Their Telephone Calls

By Ron Paul

One of the few positive things in the ill-named USA FREEDOM Act, enacted in 2015 after the Snowden revelations on NSA domestic spying, is that it required the Director of National Intelligence to regularly report on its domestic surveillance activities. On Friday, the latest report was released on just how much our own government is spying on us. The news is not good at all if you value freedom over tyranny.

According to the annual report, named the Statistical Transparency Report R...

Iran Crisis: Will Trump Waiver On The Waiver...Or 'Hang Tough'?

The showdown is looming. President Trump will decide by the end of the week whether he will continue US participation in the JPCOA Iran nuclear deal or whether he will pull out, as he promised. Will he oppose virtually all of America's closest allies and cancel the deal? What happens then? War?

Blame The Fed: Crisis Ahead

America’s monetary system was hijacked in 1913. The U.S. Constitution wasn’t amended to bring about The Federal Reserve….it was just ignored. We use unconstitutional money every day. This “system” is the monetary system of Empire. It was constructed for that purpose. We’ll, anyone with even a passing knowledge of history, knows what happens to Empires. There’s a crisis ahead, and you’d be correct to blame the Fed!

Let Go Of The Political-Correctness Mold That Was Made For You

By Chris Rossini

Political-correctness twists individuals into an unnatural knot.

A population that doesn't know what to think, what opinions they're 'allowed' to have, and what they're 'permitted' to say, is a population that can be easily controlled and manipulated.

Here's a spoiler alert for you: there's never a shortage of people who want to do the controlling and manipulating. The lust for power is not a new or unpopular lust.

Such people can't control a population of individuals that embrac...

Will Bolton Kill Korea Peace Deal?

Trump's National Security Advisor John Bolton makes no secret of what he wants for North Korea. Just a month before his appointment he wrote an article arguing for pre-emptive war against North Korea. He has a long record of pressuring analysts to come up with pre-determined conclusions. Is he actually working against Trump behind Trump's back?

Netanyahu's Iran Nuke Show: Should We Believe Him?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a dramatic presentation yesterday where he claimed to produce new and shocking evidence that Iran was violating the nuclear treaty and continuing its pursuit of nuclear weapons. But much of his "evidence" is actually old evidence from before the 2007 CIA's National Intelligence Estimate that Iran was no longer pursuing a nuclear weapon. Is Bibi bluffing us?
