«Und während Sie über Ungarn mal dies hören und mal das, sollten Sie besser schleunigst nach Brüssel sehen, wo von der Leyen das Projekt der Zweckentfremdung der EU, der Vergewaltigung der europäischen Verträge und der finalen Entmachtung der Nationalstaaten vorantreibt, als gäb’s kein Morgen. Ein Projekt, das nie etwas anderes als Ihre eigene Entmachtung, werter Bürger, war, die unter dieser Kommissionspräsidentin natürlich verlässlich aufs Hässlichste verschleiert ist.» (– Martin Sonneborn)

The Right the Courts Forgot: When Checks Fail, the People Must Have a Voice
The President is committing lives and treasure to war. Congress has not authorized it. And no citizen has any legal standing to object. That is not a constitutional republic operating as designed. It is one operating as though the founding document does not mean what it says. A Distinction the Courts Refuse to Make Not […]

American Heresy
he makers of our Constitution undertook to secure conditions favorable to the pursuit of happiness… They sought to protect Americans in their beliefs, their thoughts, their emotions and their sensations. They conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone — the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilized […]

Purge the Neoconservatives
Reprinted with permission from The Realist Review. There is a saying often repeated in circles critical of the foreign policy establishment: “Whoever gets elected, you always get John McCain”. You’re especially likely to hear it when a president turns into a war hawk after explicitly campaigning against regime change, military adventure, and even entangling alliances. […]

Modi’s Silence: How India Submits to Washington Taking Everything
In early March, a U.S. submarine torpedoed an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean. The ship, a frigate called the IRIS Dena, had been docked at an Indian port just days earlier – an invited guest at India’s flagship multinational naval exercise. It had participated in a ceremonial parade attended by India’s president, Droupadi Murmu. […]

Ending Israel’s War on Peace
A two-week ceasefire has partially halted the Israel-US war on Iran. The war accomplished precisely nothing that a competent diplomat could not have achieved in an afternoon. The Strait of Hormuz was open before the war and it is open again now, but with more Iranian control. Meanwhile, the chaos continues. Israel is intent on […]

Orange Jesus, the Dual SOH Blockade and the Stagflation Ahead
When it comes to economics, the Donald is truly a knucklehead. So he is now preparing to monkey-hammer the entire $105 trillion global economy by putting a US naval blockade on top of the Iranian blockade. The latter, of course, has already ground normal traffic of 115 ships per day through the Strait of Hormuz […]

After Iran: Is This the Unraveling of the US-Israeli Order?
The knives are out – and this time, they are not aimed at Tehran, but at Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. Even the ever morally flexible Chris Christie moved quickly. The former New Jersey governor and longtime Republican insider, speaking on CNN, did not merely criticize Trump; he used the moment to indict establishment Republicans […]

Blockading the Blockade?
President Trump was presented with a great opportunity on Saturday to take the off-ramp from his war on Iran. After threatening Iran that “a whole civilization will die tonight,” Trump managed to get a two week pause in the war with the intervention of the Pakistani government. A window opened to end this illegal war. […]

How Many People Have the US and Israel Killed in Iran?
After the breakdown of talks in Pakistan, the ceasefire between the US and Iran is more fragile than ever, and now seems likely to give way to a new phase of the war. The ceasefire and talks have failed to end Israel’s devastating attacks on Lebanon or to negotiate international access to the Strait of […]

Congress’s To-Do List as it Returns to Washington
Reasonable people wonder if it was a coincidence the escalation (and now fragile ceasefire) of the massively unpopular, senseless, illegal US-Israeli war of aggression on Iran occurred while Congress was away from Capitol Hill for two weeks. Maybe so, but speculation aside, it soon won’t matter, as Congress returns to Washington to resume legislative business […]

The Art of Failure
Donald Trump sold himself to the American people as the ultimate dealmaker during his first run for President. He argued that Obama’s poor negotiating skills had impoverished the American people, and he would Make America Great Again by getting tough with both allies and adversaries. The American people bought the narrative and elected him over […]

The Market Law of One Price – How the Donald Bombed Energy Consumers, Too
The Donald plunged into one hell of a hornets nest when he took the bait from Bibi Netanyahu and launched an all out “kinetic” war on Iran (as distinguished from the brutal economic war Washington has been waging for decades). But now that the gasoline pump price has breached $4/gallon and is heading higher, he’s […]

The Lebanon Conspiracy: Massacres, Negotiations, and a New Order
Israel’s latest war on Lebanon is not only being waged from the air. It is being reinforced politically from within, as Beirut moves in step with US-Israeli efforts to isolate Hezbollah and weaken Iran’s negotiating position. In a previous article, we examined the seven messages that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sought to communicate through […]

America Needs a Regime Change
The American people need the Iran war like a fish needs a bicycle. For our politicians and permanent bureaucrats, it’s a different story. The political class, adrift after the Soviet Union fell, needed a new animating mythos. Neoconservatives taught them to experience preemptive war against tinpot tyrants as a civilizational crusade. The Middle East – where America’s […]

Why Trump’s Cuba Plan Won’t Work
It is clear that the US wants to conduct some kind of regime change operation in Cuba, egged on by Republican and Democratic hawks, though polling indicates it is not popular within the US, Cuba, or the international community. Figures like Marco Rubio have said that Cuba will need to open their economy up, in […]

The War in Iran as International Terrorism
As someone born in 1944, when Franklin D. Roosevelt was president, who lived through 12 other presidencies before Donald Trump took — and that word has a different meaning with him — office in 2016, the truth is that I’ve simply never experienced anything quite like this (and I know that I’m in good company).

Killing and Indifference
Is personal freedom a reality or a myth? Does the government execute the will of the governed or the will of those who finance its officials? Does the Bill of Rights restrain the government? Are the levers of government power pulled by those the governed have elected or those we don’t see? Do elections change […]

Coming Soon – Federal Red Ink Barfing Skyward Like You’ve Never Seen
Self-evidently, the news has been overwhelmingly focused on Washington’s current endeavor to unload $200 billion of imperial destruction upon Iran and its neighbors around the Persian Gulf. Well, and also upon all other users of petroleum products, LNG, LPGs, nitrogen fertilizer, food, helium, semiconductors, manufactured goods and most everything else anywhere on the planet. Accordingly, […]
