One Congressional staffer attending the WINEP event emailed me, “Dennis spoke in jest — well I assumed he did — but who knows anymore? Things are getting ever crazier inside some of these pro-Israel think-tanks around here.”
Many independent and conscientious thinkers and scholars in the world agree with this assumption that the sanctions which the United States and the European Union have imposed on Iran over its nuclear program are inhumane, unjust, contrary to the principles of human rights and constitute an act of war and collective punishment.
Yesterday, the “Stolen Valor Act,” a law that made it illegal to wear phony medals or tell war stories was overturned as a violation of the First Amendment.
Imagine if a bunch of the craziest war-hungry Republicans in the House filmed themselves in a nutty bat-guano video packed with lies addressed to the President of the United States.
Orwellian Nightmare Law Empowers Cover-Ups. The law, how do we describe it, is very clear. It creates a permanent state of martial law in the United States, unlimited wire tapping, unlimited warrant-less searches, “stop, search and question” checkpoints at state borders, no more right to legal counsel.
Some question the lack of leftist anti-war activism seeking to end America’s perpetual wars. They are right to ask why those activists are MIA now that Obama is leading the war charge. It’s simple, really. They are mostly partisan hypocrites.
The following will be the opening commentary on the “Connect the Dots” program on KPFK this Monday, June 27th, with guests Daniel Ellsberg, Ca. Assemblyman Mike Feuer, and LA City Councilman Bill Rosendahl.

Today notorious Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio joined Senator John McCain and announced that the horrific Arizona fires were "likely set by Mexican smugglers" with the operative word be "likely"; just speculation, no evidence whatsoever.
Washington exists to prove that religion, family values and even patriotism corrupt as well. Add a dash of “conservatism” and no toddler is safe without a titanium chastity belt. Sex scandals in Washington are old news and Weinergate seems to be way below par.
In what will come as a shock to the Tea Party and yet probably not rival the recent royal wedding in London for viewership, Republican Congressman Buck McKeon and Republican Senator John McCain plan to crown President Barack Obama King of America. They’re not kidding, and this is no stunt.
Once upon a time where was no political correctness about the Civil War. There were differences of opinion yes, but they were not exploited for political reasons like they are today.
The record of military intervention during the last several decades is one of almost unbroken failure if either the human costs or political outcomes are taken into proper account. By Richard Falk What is immediately striking about the bipartisan call in Washington for a no-fly zone and air strikes designed to help rebel forces in [...]
The U.S. Army illegally ordered a team of soldiers specializing in “psychological operations” to manipulate visiting American senators into providing more troops and funding for the war, Rolling Stone has learned – and when an officer tried to stop the operation, he was railroaded by military investigators.
From Wonkette By Jack Stuef Despite Republican attempts to stick in a last-minute defense appropriations amendment that failed to kill the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell repeal, President Obama finally signed it into law, hooray. But while this simple measure to make this country more fair and equal was a no-brainer for most Americans, it was not for [...]
When it comes to John McCain, pick any week the last 50 years for the lying, self-entitled pip-squeak. Salon nails him this week. By Alex Pareene in Salon John McCain has finally, inexorably stumbled upon the weirdest and most transparently troll-ish reason yet to oppose the repeal of the military’s ban on gay and lesbian [...]
HAS AIPAC MADE THE FBI THE “FBE,” FEDERAL BUREAU OF ESPIONAGE? By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor AIPAC is a sham. The group has, over the years, destroyed anyone who has tried to have it named what it really is, a dangerous foreign lobby and nest of spies. AIPAC is the most feared organization in [...]
“WINGNUTS”…AMERICA’S “PETS,” THEIR CARE AND FEEDING By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor Friday, Fox “journalist” Geraldo Rivera, on Judge Napolitano’s “Freedom Watch” was interviewed about his new found beliefs on 9/11.

Like Father Like Son By Phil Tourney STAFF WRITER When Admiral John S. McCain, Jr., Commander in Chief, United States Naval Forces, Europe, ordered the cover-up on the attack of the USS LIBERTY GTR-5 it was a sure act of treason perpetrated on the American people and the crew of the LIBERTY to hide the [...]
VETERAN’S TODAY THANKS CINDY McCAIN FOR HER COURAGEOUS STANCE AGAINST, WELL, HER IMBECILE HUSBAND By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor Gay bullying is no joke, nor is DADT (Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell). When our own government snidely promotes persecution of a portion of their citizens, be they African Americans, Jews or Gays or even as [...]
PULLING THE PLUG MIGHT BE A FAVOR By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor The internet is not a reliable place for information, in fact, it can be almost as bad as television or a college education. The internet has also become more dangerous than most guess. The internet now breeds zombies, yes, the brain eating, [...]
COMBAT VETERANS FOR CONGRESS is a thinly veiled front organization for AIPAC, the Israel lobby, oil companies, the “bankster” and insurance lobbys and right wing extremists. This is another rehash of the mindless hag, Sarah Palin, “Hanoi John” McCain and his front man “Bud” Day, America’s most questionable Medal of Honor holder and Wall Street money. This is a phony organization, to its roots, un-American, destructive to honorable American values and, from top to bottom, genuinely EVIL.
Aristotle, in his Book II of the Nicomachean Ethics sees virtue as an admirable character trait that is the mean between the vices of deficiency and excess. In politics of course no one directly discusses ethics, just talking points in support of message. Barry Goldwater was an exception: “I would remind you that extremism in the [...]
The phony intelligence used to induce our March 2003 invasion of Iraq has been dusted off. This time it’s being deployed to take us into Iran. Same scam. Same storyline. Same fraud—even featuring some of the same players.
If John McCain chooses not to resign, how do we as Americans protect national security from an agenda set by the transnational criminal syndicate that produced his political career?
