9/6/19 Asa Winstanley on the Documentary the Israel Lobby Doesn’t Want You to See

Asa Winstanley reminds us about the incredibly important documentary, The Lobby USA, which was produced but then shut down by Al Jazeera, and finally released by Winstanley's organization, The Electronic Intifada. The documentary exposes the unbelievable power and reach of Israeli lobbying in American politics through undercover reporting, meaning everything comes directly from the people involved. All four parts of the documentary are available on YouTube and at electronicintifada.net. Discussed on the show: "Israel lobby's "commando force" taken out | The Electronic Intifada" (Electronic...

NYT Piece on the History of Barak and Netanyahu Trying to Get the US to Bomb Iran

Here. Some good stuff in there if not the whole context. (Also, Mazzetti knows that Iran has never attempted to create "highly enriched uranium, the fuel to build a nuclear bomb," therefore they could not possibly begin to do so "once again." [Technically, 20% U-235 can be called "highly enriched," but that's still far below the ~90% required to make a bomb, so it's at best an invidious conflation.] I don't know if his co-author knows that, but Mazzetti's past reporting on this issue has been substantive, even if often Sanger-tainted. He must know better. So, is liar. Or he just has a...

Austin Independent School District: Stop Feeding Your Children Breakfast

This morning on the 590 AM KLBJ radio news I heard them read a press release from the AISD asking parents to stop packing lunches for their kids, and -- I swear I'm not making this up -- asking them also to stop feeding their children breakfast, and to leave that up to the public schools instead, so they can ask for more money from the federal government to buy better food later. They had no idea that this was shameful, horrible, cynical, corrupt, embarrassing. This is just how business is done in Nazi/Commie America in the 21st Century. What's the problem? Update: Here's partial...

8/30/19 John Kiriakou on the Deep State’s Search for a ‘Russiagate’ Scalp

John Kiriakou fills in some of the details of the real story of Maria Butina, the alleged Russian spy who is said to have conspired with the 2016 Trump campaign. The problem with the official narrative, explains Kiriakou, is that Butina is not a spy at all and there's no evidence for illegal activity, except for a Foreign Agents Registration form that she should have filled out but did not. For this relatively minor, first time offense, Butina is serving more than a year in prison and has had her name and reputation completely and falsely destroyed. She has also been used in order to build a...

The 80th Anniversary of the Start of WWII in Europe

Just remember, the whole damn thing was Woodrow Wilson's fault. Even Winston Churchill, top suspect in the sinking of the Lusitania, later told William Griffin, editor of the New York Enquirer in August 1936 (though he later denied saying it): “America should have minded her own business and stayed out of the World War. If you hadn’t entered the war the Allies would have made peace with Germany in the spring of 1917. Had we made peace then there would have been no collapse in Russia followed by Communism, no breakdown in Italy followed by Fascism, and Germany would not have signed the...

8/30/19 Danny Sjursen on the Hidden Cost of America’s Endless Wars and How Trump Could End Them

Danny Sjursen explains why staying in Afghanistan, even indefinitely, won't make any difference in its eventual outcome. Right now the U.S. military is only enforcing the Kabul government's grip on a small part of the country, and if they leave, either the Taliban will take over the country, or Kabul will hang on to an even smaller sliver. These are the two possible outcomes, says Sjursen, and it doesn't make a difference if America withdraws today, next year, or in another twenty years. The only difference is how much money our government wastes and how many Americans we have to bury....
