The Bill and Hillary Show: Will it ever end?

…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.

The Contrived Iran Threat: Another phony excuse for endless war

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 […]

Israel’s International Conspiracy: Nearly every western country has an Israel lobby

Missing from the “State of the Union” – Why are we “over there?”

No Matter Who Becomes President Israel Wins

Adelson and Saban should register as foreign agents By Philip Giraldi The next American president will almost certainly be bought and paid for by the Israel Lobby.

The Dancing Israelis: Trump was right about 9/11 but they weren’t Muslims

There were indeed people celebrating as the Twin Towers were burning, but they were not Muslims. They were Israelis….. A number of cover companies in New Jersey, Florida and also on the west coast served as spying mechanisms for Mossad officers. The effort was supported by the Mossad Station in Washington D.C… By Philip Giraldi […]
