France’s greatest living poseur-hypocrite Bernard-Henri Levy, who has described the brutal Israel Defense Forces as “a democratic army, which asks itself so many moral questions” and who was a war-on-Libya cheerleader, warns that Trump is a threat to all American Jews. Why? Because even though he has showered benefits on Israel his love for the Jewish […]

Flynn certainly had a number of other discussions with foreign-intelligence officers before the Trump inaugural, including those of Israel and most likely Britain, without any scandal being imputed. The difference is clearly the involvement of Russia… This was a leak that had specific policy implications. By Philip Giraldi The story on the resignation of National Security […]

The most ghastly candidate who has almost made it through the nomination screening process, in this case to become number two at the Department of State, is Elliot Abrams. Another almost as bad, Gina Haspel, succeeded and is now CIA Deputy Director…. By Philip Giraldi We live in a political environment where nothing is any longer real. […]

With just a single exception, all of these countries were targeted for attack by certain top U.S. officials in 2001. In fact, that policy had roots that went back to 1996, 1991, 1980, and even the 1950s.

It is a pleasure to watch the think tanks and the Israel-first, pro-war neocons begin thinking of their own political demise. It is intriguing to speculate that Trump with his populist message might just take it all one step farther and shut the door on the K Street lobbyists and other special interests, which have […]

The problem with Israel and its friends is that they are never satisfied and never leave the rest of us Americans alone, pushing constantly at what is essentially an open door.

Hillary, the Establishment’s war candidate, though she carefully wraps it in humanitarian “liberal interventionism.” As Senator and Secretary of State, Hillary has always viewed a foreign crisis as an opportunity to use aggressive measures. She can always be relied upon to “do something,” a reflection of the neocon driven Washington foreign policy consensus…. By Philip […]

Pillorying Trump ignores how awful Hillary Clinton is in her own way. Hillaryland promises to bring with it a likelihood of more war, not only against various players in the Middle East, but also against Russia in Europe, as well as Syria and China in the Pacific….Carl Gershman of NED attacks Russia… By Philip Giraldi The relentless […]
