Recent interventions have not worked very well and have in fact increased the number of enemies rather than reduce them while also killing nearly 7,500 American soldiers and more than a million inhabitants of the countries Washington has become entangled with. By Philip Giraldi, The following in an edited version of a paper I presented […]
Israel is a strategic liability. It requires the expenditure of considerable American political capital to protect it in the U.N. It cannot be used as a forward base for the U.S. military. During Desert Storm in 1991, it had to be bribed by Washington to stay out of the conflict… Some critics have also noted that medical […]
Congresswoman Barbara Comstock traveled to Israel on a trip paid for by the Israel Lobby, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned her about the Iranians. It never occurs to Ms. Comstock that Netanyahu might be feeding her and the other congressmen a lot of rubbish. Neither Israel’s own generals nor the American ones at the Pentagon […]
Hammond sees a Washington that has been so thoroughly subverted by Israeli interests that it has no wiggle room to behave independently ….. When General David Petraeus spoke candidly in 2010, saying that Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians was endangering American soldiers operating in the Middle East, he was quickly forced to recant. Hammond also examines […]
…who is guilty of putting the interests of a foreign government ahead of those of the United States? …. friends of Israel come immediately to mind … and the Clintons… Bill’s one-sided pro-Israeli diplomacy at Camp David in 2000… January 2001 last minute pardon of Mossad agent Marc Rich, whose wife Denise was a major contributor to the Clintons… The […]
…The real danger of a Hillary in power comes with her consistently belligerent view of America’s role in the world, her own track record while in office, and her apparent willingness to create international conflicts where none are called for. Though Hillary is not so insane as to want to risk a nuclear war, she […]
Iran was not building a nuke and much of the information used to bolster the argument being made turned out to be fabricated by the Israelis themselves… Iran may be many things depending on one’s perspective, but it is not a global or even much of a regional threat. By Philip Giraldi The Israeli Minister of […]
Wherever one goes – Western Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States – there is a well-organized and funded lobby ready, willing and able to go to war to protect Israel. Most of the organizations involved take at least some direction from officials in Tel Aviv. Their goal is to spread propaganda and […]
Including the festering Israel and Palestine conflict, which has taken on its current form due to the connivance of Washington as Israel’s patron, all of the unrest in the region is quite plausibly a direct or indirect result of American missteps By Philip Giraldi I had expected that there would be little in last week’s […]
The inclusion of Iran in the bill does not have anything to do with the war against ISIS.
