The Five Criminals: In America, the Gestapo Has Replaced the Rule of Law

By Paul Craig Roberts – RT is the best English language news source available to Americans. On January 29, RT published a photo of 5 presidential appointees lying through their teeth to Congress. All five of these Gestapo wannabes are in violation of their oath of office to protect the Constitution of the United States. […]

LAPD goes to Israel, falls in love with drones and mass surveillance

By Rania Khalek. Electronic Intifada, 2/17/14 – The Jewish Journal has an incredible write-up of the Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD) recent visit to Israel. For nine days early this month, eight of the LAPD’s highest ranking officers toured Israel on a trip organized by LAPD Deputy Chief and commander of the Counter-Terrorism and Special Operations Bureau, Michael Downing, […]

Old Testament Armed Forces: Religious zealotry runs rampant in the U.S. military

By Philip Giraldi. The American Conservative, 2/12/14 – The connection between America’s wars in the Middle East—and its wars more generally—with the more fundamentalist forms of Christianity in the United States is striking. Opinion polls suggest that the more religiously conservative one is, the more one will support overseas wars or even what many might describe as […]

Diplomacy Is a Four Letter Word

By Philip Giraldi. AntiWar.com, 2/18/14 – Why is the United States so reluctant to negotiate with other countries and so prone to leap immediately to the option of using force or chicanery in lieu of a more deliberative foreign policy? It might partly be because we Americans are not very good at the subtlety and […]

Museum of Jewish Heritage cancels event on book about Israel lobby, calls it “too controversial”

By Philip Weiss. Mondoweiss, 2/18/14 – The Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York has spiked a planned appearance by John Judis, author of the groundbreaking new history of Truman and the establishment of Israel, as too controversial.

Disenfranchised: How the NYT spins the status of Palestinian land

By Barbara Erickson. TimesWarp, 2/18/14 – In The New York Times, Palestinian land has become something else again. It is not the State of Palestine, not simply Palestine, not the occupied Palestinian territories and not really Israel either. It is all murkier than that. This should not be difficult for the Times. There is plenty of established […]

Understanding Modern Israel: Why it is Driving the World Towards Madness

By John Chuckman. Dissident voice, 02/18/14 – Nothing that Israel does in its affairs would be of quite such great concern to the world were it not for the fact that Israel drags along, willy-nilly, the world’s greatest power, much like some impressive-looking but feeble-willed, dazed parent stumbling along behind a screaming toddler demanding yet another […]

Judaism and Zionism: a Divorce in the Making?

By Alan Hart. AlanHart.net, 2/17/14 – Way back in October 2001, a prominent and widely respected liberal London rabbi, Dr. David Goldberg, made what I thought at the time was the most remarkable statement ever made by a Jew in the 53 years that had passed since the creation, mainly by terrorism and ethnic cleansing, […]

LBJ, Fortas, & Israel

History News Network, 12/19/08 – Given the context in which he operated—the necessities of the Cold War tilting the United States toward conservative Arab states; a U.S. public opinion far less favorable to Israel than what exists today, when both nations face the common threat of radical Islamist terrorism—LBJ was the most pro-Israel President in U.S. […]
