Worse Than John McCain?, by Ron Paul

6. April 2026 - 6:00
Following President Trump’s address to the nation on Wednesday about the Iran War, stock markets suffered losses while oil prices rose. The decline in stocks and increase in oil prices reflected disappointment over President Trump’s failure to articulate a plan to end the Iran War and the related restraint of shipping through of the Strait...

British Intel’s Secret Lebanese Panopticon, by Kit Klarenberg

6. April 2026 - 6:00
On March 7th, shadowy British intelligence contractor Siren Associates launched Monitor Lebanon. The “real-time situational awareness platform” is “designed to help individuals and organisations understand and navigate Lebanon’s rapidly evolving security environment.” The tool sifts vast swaths of “open-source information” from “news agencies, verified social media accounts, Telegram channels, conflict monitoring initiatives, and traffic data...

The Pentagon Has An Air Power Addiction, by Jose Alberto Nino

6. April 2026 - 6:00
Iran is not some fragile backwater that will crumble under the weight of American bombs. It is a civilization state with thousands of years of continuous existence, a population of ninety million people, and a geography of mountains, deserts, and underground fortifications specifically designed to resist foreign subjugation. The notion that air power alone can...

The 400-pound corpse of Henry VIII turned in its grave last week, following the enthronement of Sarah Mullally as Archbishop of Canterbury. The pro-LGBT feminist and mother of two will serve as the Primate of All England (official title) and is a fitting appointment for the woke joke that is the Church of England [CofE]...

5. April 2026 - 6:10
The president of the United States has a bat shit crazy post on Truth Social once again threatening to blow up civilian infrastructure in Iran, saying, “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.

Christianity as a Jewish Evolutionary Strategy, by Laurent Guyénot

5. April 2026 - 6:05
Introduction In recent posts, I have made a series of arguments that the Christianization of the Roman Empire was good for the Jews (here and here) and bad for the Gentiles (here and here), and that it has paved the way for the subversion and subjugation of Western civilization by Jewish Power. Since Christianity is...

The Great War for Civilization, by Kevin Barrett

5. April 2026 - 6:00
Rumble link Bitchute link FFWN link Anyone who listens to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and compares his witty, reasonable, thoughtful, pertinent, reality-based comments to the mad drivel emanating from the likes of Trump and Hegseth and Netanayahu, can see that Iran is the civilized party to the current conflict, while the other side is...

Anti-Imperialists Want to Improve the World; Liberals Just Want to Feel Good About Themselves, by Caitlin Johnstone

5. April 2026 - 6:00
Ultimately what separates the anti-imperialist left from mainstream liberal “humanitarians” is whether you’re in it for humanity or for yourself. For the liberal, wanting peace and justice is more of an abstraction than a desire to fight the concrete power structures responsible for the lack of peace and justice in our world. If you’re a...

Iran Will Win the War Unless Iran Follows Putin’s Script, by Paul Craig Roberts

5. April 2026 - 6:00
I first began having doubts about Putin in 2008 when Putin’s inattention to Washington’s preparation of the Georgian army for an invasion of South Ossetia forced Russia into a war with a former Russian province. Clearly Russian intelligence was useless or ignored. My doubts grew substantially in 2014 when Putin sat on his butt while...

"Mene Mene Tekel Uparsin", by E. Michael Jones

5. April 2026 - 6:00
On Good Friday, Catholics celebrate the day on which the Jews killed Christ. It seems like an odd thing to celebrate, but the Serbs celebrate the battle of Kosovo Pole, and Texans celebrate their defeat at the Alamo, so I suppose it’s understandable that Christians would celebrate the most catastrophic defeat in the history of...

Villains of Judea: Sidney Gottlieb, by Jose Alberto Nino

4. April 2026 - 6:20
Within the clandestine world of American intelligence throughout the Cold War, no figure embodied the moral contradictions of the era more completely than Sidney Gottlieb. Known within the CIA as the “Black Sorcerer” and later dubbed the “Poisoner in Chief” by journalist Stephen Kinzer — whose 2019 book of that title is the definitive account...

Know Your Adversary… Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, Not a Fortunate Son, by Larry C. Johnson

4. April 2026 - 6:10
I say adversary instead of enemy. Mr. Khamenei and the Iranian people are not the enemies of the US. They did not attack us on February 28, we attacked them… And we did so while the Iranians were engaged in good faith negotiations, or so they thought. Iran’s new Ayatollah shares something in common with...

Is Israel Driving the Iran War? John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt in Debate with Tom Switzer on the 20th Anniversary of the Israel Lobby, by J. Ricardo Martins

4. April 2026 - 6:00
Professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt examine Israel’s role in the Iran war and the wider regional crisis -- and revisit their most controversial argument in 2006 about the lobby shaping U.S. foreign policy: the Lobby is bad for the US and Israel too. Did President Trump enter this war on his own terms, or...

Trump’s Premature Claim About Air Supremacy and Obliterated Iranian Air Defenses, by Larry C. Johnson

4. April 2026 - 6:00
During his Wednesday night speech, Donald Trump made the following claim about Iran’s air defenses: They have no anti-aircraft equipment, their radar’s 100% annihilated, we are unstoppable as a military force. It appears that President Trump was a bit premature. The US Air Force had a difficult day on Friday: ➡️F-15E (48th Fighter Wing) —...

This past week was what many Christians regard as Holy Week, starting with celebration of Jesus Christ’s Last Supper on Holy Thursday; mourning Christ’s crucifixion and death on Good Friday; continuing with prayer and church services on Holy Saturday; and concluding with the glory of Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday. Here in Washington things were...

The Mass Media Are Evil But They're Also Really Dumb, and Other Notes, by Caitlin Johnstone

3. April 2026 - 6:10
The New York Times has printed an article with the headline “A North American Treaty Organization Without America?”, apparently having spent the entire Ukraine war completely unaware that NATO stands for North ATLANTIC Treaty Organization.

There’s Going to be a Ground Invasion of Iran, by Greg Johnson

3. April 2026 - 6:10
On April Fools’ Day, Donald Trump addressed the nation about the Iran War. It would have been too painful to listen to his adenoidal droning and borscht-belt insult comedian shtick, so I just read the transcript. He said nothing new. It was just a live version of his social media tweets: rambling, mendacious, self-contradictory, delusional,...

From Black Arrow to Gaza: How Israel Keeps Burning Its Bridges with the West, by Jose Alberto Nino

3. April 2026 - 6:05
The narrative of an unshakeable Israeli-Western alliance built on shared values and unified strategic interests has fractured in ways that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. Since October 7, 2023, Spain, Canada, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands have suspended or ceased arms sales to Israel, joined by UN human rights experts who formally called...
