By Philip Giraldi. The American Conservative – In a recent discussion I had with Scott Horton on his radio show, we speculated as to why the White House, which surely includes very many smart, hard-working, and responsible people, just cannot seem to recognize the cognitive dissonance inherent in supporting contradictory policies in places like Syria. Supporting the […]
UNZ – It is being argued in some circles that a contributing factor in the repudiation of Congressman Eric Cantor by Virginia voters was his close affiliation with the Israel Lobby and with things Israeli in general, to include his support of wars in the Middle East that would serve Tel Aviv’s agenda. Some are […]
By Philip Giraldi. UNZ – They’ve done it again. The Campaign for Liberty, which gave away an assault rifle in April, followed up with a “tactical shotgun” Remington model M870 to one lucky supporter in May! The accompanying letter for the assault rifle states that “There can be no freedom without the ability to defend it. C4L is standing […]
Europe and the U.S. are both at risk of falling into an Italian spiral of public theft. By Philip Giraldi. The American Conservative – Even well-informed Americans are unlikely to know much about the level of corruption prevalent within the member states of the European Union (EU).

Ideologues across the political spectrum stand between Americans and a constitutionally modest approach to foreign affairs. By Philip Giraldi. Some years back I would have described myself as a conservative Republican. My understanding of what that meant was shaped by two leading conservatives of that era, during my college years William F.

By Philip Giraldi. UNZ – The fundamental problem with Senator Rand Paul is that it is difficult to discern what he actually stands for. Or if he stands for anything at all. His defenders, and there are many in that category who rightly hope for a shake-up in American politics, often suggest that he will […]
