Gareth the Great in the American Conservative: The fingerprints of Pompeo are all over this provocation to war. In a striking parallel to the deception that accompanied the Gulf of Tonkin crisis in 1964—in which the American public was told about an attack on a U.S....

Iranian Plane Crash
by Scott Horton | Jan 8, 2020 | Blog
As Tom Woods pointed out in this great speech 10 years ago, when there’s an earthquake, hurricane, plane crash or other major disaster in Iran, we all feel terrible and grieve for the loss of life and donate to charity over it and the rest. But then we’re supposed to...
Was Kataib Hezbollah Even Responsible For That Rocket Attack?
by Scott Horton | Jan 7, 2020 | Blog
They denied it. Scott Ritter wonders whether what's-left-of-ISIS is jerking our chain: The U.S. blamed Iranian-backed Khaitab Hezbollah (no relation to the Lebanese Hezbollah group), for the attacks. There are several problems with this narrative, first and foremost...
War Powers Resolutions Don’t Matter
by Zack Sorenson | Jan 7, 2020 | Blog
Marbury v. Madison took the written U.S. Constitution and superseded it with a British style system of an unwritten constitutionality. This was judicial review and it lasted until the New Deal when the jurisprudence of limited government figured out that the...
Did Iran Kill 600 Americans in Iraq War II? No.
by Scott Horton | Jan 5, 2020 | Blog
Due to the current ubiquity of claims that Iran killed 600 Americans in Iraq War II, I figured it might be worth bringing up the fact that that is a complete and damnable lie. In the case of Petraeus’s surge against Sadrist forces in Sadr City and Najaf in 2007 and...

Celebrate Juneteenth the Right Way
Today is Juneteenth. I celebrate the lethal electrocution of two communist spies on this day in 1953; Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, an American couple, were executed for their espionage service to Stalin and the USSR They became good communists on that...
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,...
