«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 Price of Empire and the Costs of War on Iran
What will the costs of the latest round of illegal, ill-fated U.S. military adventurism in the Middle East amount to? Some of the toll is already clear. Washington has squandered billions of dollars on a reckless war of aggression against Iran. A merciless campaign of aerial bombardment has driven millions from their homes. American and […]

The Risible Big Lie of Two Weeks to A Nuke
At the end of the day, 47-years worth of Washington’s feckless attacks on Iran and now the Donald’s Mother of all Stupidity boil down to a single fraudulent injunction from the amen chorus on the Potomac: Iran can’t have a (nuclear) bomb! That’s the sum and substance of the matter because self-evidently there is no […]

Urgent Need for Creditable Negotiations About North Korea’s Nuclear Status
On March 24, 2026, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un made it official that his country is now an unapologetic nuclear weapons power.

Trump’s Tone-Deaf Sales Pitch for More War
Former Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (1997 to 2013) challenged three administrations, Clinton (Serbia), Bush (Iraq), and Obama (Libya), over unauthorized military action under the War Powers Resolution, led Congressional opposition to the Iraq War, and delivered 155 speeches in Congress warning against war with Iran. The President’s address to the nation was a tone-deaf sales […]

Philippines Path to ASEAN’s Ukraine?
In the past, PH targets comprised mainly the EDCA sites. Now they include the planned ammo manufacturing sites. Manila is moving from a US logistical enabler to a huge regional military hub, like Ukraine a few years ago. Last week, the Pentagon disclosed that the US-led military manufacturing partnership (PIPIR) is assessing funding for a […]

Israel Is Making Sure Trump Can’t Find an Off-Ramp in Iran
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must have persuaded Donald Trump that a war on Iran would unfold much like the pager attack in Lebanon 18 months ago. The two militaries would jointly decapitate the leadership in Tehran, and it would crumble just as Hezbollah had collapsed – or so it then seemed – after Israel […]

The FBI’s FOIA Blacklist
The Freedom of Information Act was designed to empower citizens to hold their government accountable. But evidence suggests the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has quietly adopted a practice that turns that principle on its head: labeling some of the people who file Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests as “vexsome.” In effect, the agency […]

Amnesty International Defends US Regime-Change NGOs: Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba
Why are many Latin American countries shutting down nonprofit organizations? Amnesty International claims it has the answer: in every case, it’s part of a drive to restrict human rights and “tear up the social fabric.” Amnesty’s new 95-page report (in Spanish, with an English summary), criticizes governments across the political spectrum for attacking what it […]

Beneath the Big Lie About Iran – An Economy That’s Been Shrinking for 50 Years
At some point it is wise indeed to pay heed to the numbers – and that’s overwhelmingly true with respect to the battling narratives about the Donald’s Iran War now raging in the Persian Gulf. The fact is, the Iranian “threat” is almost entirely an ideological and political sham confected by Bibi Netanyahu and his […]

Yes, Iran Is Playing Chess – But Only After Rewriting the Rules of the Game
The origins of chess are contested, but few dispute that while the game began in India, it was the Sassanian Persian Empire that refined it into a recognizable strategic system. It was Persia that codified its language, symbolism and intellectual framework: the shah (king), the rokh (rook), and shatranj, the modern chess game. This is […]

Two Different Wars, Two Different Presidents, But the Same Lies
Originally appeared at TomDispatch. Can you even remember when the U.S. went to war with Iraq in 2003, when President George W. Bush announced that, “at this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from grave danger”? […]

Donald Trump: A Threat to World Peace
President Trump and his minions assured America that he was a man of peace who would abandon the “failed policy of regime change”. Yet, since taking office in 2025, he has bombed seven countries and threatened several more. As a man without principles, Trump is an empty vessel into which zealots pour their venom. The […]

In Iran, the US Manufactured an Enemy and Lost All Its Friends
The war on Iran was neither inevitable nor necessary. As recently as March 3, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi said the IAEA “has found no evidence that Iran is building a nuclear bomb.” On March 18, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told a Senate Intelligence Committee that since […]

Death From Above: How Drones Are Reshaping Wildlife in Ukraine
The skies over the Ukrainian frontline no longer belong to the birds. In a conflict now entering its fifth year, the rapid rise of small, low-cost drones has created a new kind of aerial pressure – one that hunters and wildlife managers would recognize as a permanent “landscape of fear.” What began with hobbyist quadcopters […]

Does the Tail Wag the Dog? How Both Sides Are Missing the Bigger Picture
The joint US-Israeli war on Iran has thrust back into the spotlight a divisive debate about whether the dog wags the tail, or the tail wags the dog. Who is in charge of this war: Israel or the United States? One side believes Israel lured Trump into a trap from which he cannot extricate himself. […]

Iran ‘Gone Wild’ in Dimona: Is Tehran Using Israel-US Madman Doctrine?
The wording is familiar. The urgency is always absolute. The implication is unmistakable: Israel is not choosing war. It is forced into it. For many, the claim is inherently contradictory. How can a state initiate war – and in Gaza’s case, sustain a genocide – while insisting that it is merely defending itself from annihilation? […]

Iran’s Alleged 47-Year War on America: Debunking the 1,050 American Deaths Canard
On the eve of the horrific World Trade center attack on September 11, 2001, the mullahs and their IRGC hooligans had been in power for nearly 22 years. Yet the record for that two decade interval subsequent to the founding of the Iranian Revolution does not even remotely establish that the regime in Tehran had […]

How the West Is Quietly Legitimizing Anti-Iran Terrorists
US President Ronald Reagan once declared that “Terrorism is the preferred weapon of weak and evil men.” While the ideological descendants of President Reagan love to incessantly describe Iran as the “#1 State Sponsor of Terrorism,” the US and its Western allies have, hypocritically, supported terrorists when it benefits them. The most obvious example of […]
