by Steven Woskow | Aug 9, 2019 | Blog
N.Y. Times: U.S. Sanctions Turn Iran's Oil Industry Into Spy vs Spy. Most Americans have a Hollywood version of the espionage business. A high-tech game of cyber-espionage and secret well-planned operations but in reality it is an age old game using alcohol, sex,...

Grant F. Smith: To gauge U.S. public opinion about the “Peace to Prosperity” plan, IRmep put a national sample of American adults in the shoes of Palestinian refugees, notably the 750,000 forcibly expelled during Israel’s creation and their descendants living in Gaza,...
Patrick Cockburn on Why Sanctions On Syria and Iran Will Fail (again)
by Steven Woskow | Jul 6, 2019 | Blog
Patrick Cockburn has seen this all before. The sanctions our government imposes on countries cost Americans nothing. No American lives are lost, no hardship for Americans, no cost to the American people. So you get no push-back from the American media or the...

Don Bodreaux says yes. If there was any doubt before now, there can be no doubt going forward: we Americans are today governed by imbeciles. Really. Literally. No hyperbole here.

by Kyle Anzalone | May 22, 2019 | Conflicts of Interest
On FPF #352, I discuss the military power of the Libyan Field Marshal Haftar. Haftar came to power in the vacuum left by Obama's war in Libya and now controls most of Libya. The strongman has acquired a fleet of fighter jets and 10,000s of troops. He has also built up...

What a strange fetish it all is…
Is it a fetish? There are some fascinating memes and clips doing the rounds of Trump lately. The populist appeal has become silly. The trouble is that some supposedly serious people are unironically aroused by it all. Then again, maybe it’s just for the LOLs? Grown...
