‘They’ll Get Over It’

Israel’s Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter is confident that “they” will get over Israel’s lawlessness in pursuit of greater Israel.  Leiter, Netanyahu, the Knesset, and most Israelis and most in DC believe Israel is in the process of “creating” a far better Arab world than the one “built” by previous European colonials.

In this era of political assassinations on every corner of the planet, Israel – with US advance knowledge, consent, and coordination – attacked with 15 American-made fighter j...

The 9/11 Nightmare Never Ends

One of the nightmares that periodically jolt me awake is the image of an American jumping from the inferno-ravaged upper stories of New York’s World Trade Center into the dust-plumed streets below.  He is tormented and maybe praying and then gone.  More than anything else, that horror from 9/11 haunts me.

In the first few years after the Islamic terror attack, news programs would replay some of those desperate moments caught on video, when workers trapped between floors of fire were forced to ma...

From 9/11 to Today: The Counterfeit of “Safety” Exposed

Twenty-four years after that bright September morning turned black, the catechism still drones: they hate us for our freedom. Yet post-9/11 America has taught dogma differently—freedom as permission slip, freedom as a hall pass subject to revocation, freedom as something administered by a clipboard and credentials.

Such freedom is not something to be envious of. But Osama bin Laden and his nineteen henchmen were never concerned about freedom in the first place. Not our kind anyway.

Now That Poland Has Formally Invoked Article 4, NATO Is Closer To All-Out War With Russia Than Ever

I am sitting here trying to process everything that just happened. I was doing research for this article, and then I got the news that Charlie Kirk had just been shot. I am going to try to find the words to express what I am feeling at this moment, and I will be putting together a full article about this horrifying tragedy later today. Meanwhile, NATO is literally closer to all-out war with Russia than it has ever been before. Last night 19 Russian drones entered Polish airspace, and NATO fighte...

Some Days There’s Just Too Much Israeli Psychopathy To Write About

Recent hours have seen too much Israeli depravity to write about, including an assassination strike in Qatar to sabotage peace talks, a second drone attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla, and a Guardian article featuring an IDF sniper who discussed killing civilians like a trophy hunter talking about game animals.

The IDF bombed a Doha residential building on Tuesday in an attempt to assassinate Hamas officials who had gathered to discuss US-Israeli ceasefire proposals, reportedly killing a Qatari...

Why Trump’s Policies Are Right Out of Mussolini’s Playbook

International Man: The US government recently took a 15% stake in MP Materials and a 10% stake in Intel to counter China’s dominance in rare earth elements and revive the domestic semiconductor industry.

Are these national security necessities, or a fundamental break from free-market capitalism?

Doug Casey: First, whenever you hear the term “national security,” rest assured, some grifter is selling you on a fraud.

It’s natural for the State, like all living entities, to want to grow. The problem...
