I attended a focus group to give feedback about a series of commercials that will air nationally. I think I experienced “snowflakes” in the flesh for the first time. They were offended by something in every one of those commercials. Saying, “The female manager in the...

The Dirty Espionage Business
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,...
68% Percent of Americans Would Reject Trump’s Mideast ‘Deal of the Century’
by Scott Horton | Jul 30, 2019 | Blog
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...
Are We Governed By Imbeciles?
by Steven Woskow | Jun 10, 2019 | Blog
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.
The Free Thought Project

Every single day over there are stories of cops raping, torturing and murdering Americans with impunity. Every day. It seems like maybe something's wrong.
Libya’s Strongman
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...

The “Least Performing” Circus Continues at the US Navy (and Elsewhere)
***Have been out of pocket for conference attendance*** The US Navy and the Pentagon continue the grand sclerotic and arthritic three ring circus of staggering inabilities to deliver any exquisite platforms on time, on budget and within scope. The sterling track...
Be Careful What You Ask for
You wanted America First. You got it. Did you think it wouldn't be conceived in national collectivist terms? The clue's in the name. It's America First, not Americans First.
Phony Noninterventionists
Call me naive, but I increasingly suspect that much of today's "left" is not antiwar on principle. Rather, it's anti-American war because, in its view, America (not just the government) is rotten to the core: bourgeois, racist, patriarchal, heteronormative, blah,...
America First is Always the Sober Alternative to War on the World
My shortest post ever. Ironic that Israel has more US senators than America.
My Views
I discuss the news around deportations, the military parade, No Kings, and Iran v Israel. ALP
Anti-War Blog – It’s Never Enough
