Did Iranian Weapons Kill Americans? Another phony argument against a deal with Iran

The bad guys who took aim at Bartlett? They were people defending their homes and families against an invader… his claim that he was maimed by Iranian provided weapons should not go unchallenged. In actual fact, it is a lie. By Philip Giraldi – There is a new entrant in the already crowded field of […]

Nazis on the Backlot: How Hollywood has changed our perception of war

By Philip Giraldi – Memorial Day used to be a somber occasion, dedicated to reflection and remembrance of those killed in America’s wars. Today it is instead a celebration of ongoing wars, a long shopping weekend and the unofficial start of summer. Part of the problem with America’s shifting perception of the price to be […]

Phony Free Speech in Garland Texas: Pamela Geller needs to be exposed for what she is

In 2011 Pamela Geller campaigned to block the U.S. government’s licensing of al-Jazeera America, revealing the insincerity of her espousal of free speech when the speech does not conform to her agenda… her ten year track record reveals clearly that she wallows in hate. Her efforts are supported by a number of pro-Israel groups and […]

Who Did the Eavesdropping? What Did Mossad Steal and Whom Did They Share it With?

…Which leaves the possibility of a spy within the American negotiating team or back in Washington, someone in the room willing to feed the information to the Israelis. Indeed, several members of the U.S. delegation are on record as being hostile to the Iranians, including chief negotiator Wendy Sherman… …the GOP is now being described […]

Declaring Independence from Israel: It’s Way Overdue!

The Unz – So Israel is building 2,610 new housing units in East Jerusalem and in contiguous areas on the West Bank at a time when international sentiment against its unending occupation of Palestine is growing, particularly among Europeans if one goes by recent developments in Sweden, Britain and in Ireland. The administration of President Barack […]

By Philip Giraldi. The Unz Review – The many blog and information sites on the internet are attractive to many habitues precisely because they sometimes seems to be the last bastions for free expression. But free expression does not necessarily guarantee civility. Anyone who peruses comments on many of the major websites can confirm that there is considerable garbage […]

Foreign Policy by Ted Cruz

By Philip Giraldi. The Unz – The really interesting thing about the Junior Senator from Texas is the fact that he demonstrates that anyone who wants it badly enough can become president. It is, of course, something for which there is a precedent, when voters elected an inexperienced and largely unknown Barack Obama. Cruz shares Obama’s lack […]

Iran the Perpetual Enemy?

By Philip Giraldi. The Unz – The reports of the latest military action in Syria and Iraq has pushed most other foreign news out of the US media. This has been good for the neoconservatives, who have been urging an even more aggressive intervention, to include US boots on the ground. Since so much mainstream media coverage […]
