Iran Will Recover, But Trump's Damage to US Diplomacy Could Last a Generation
As the US-Israel war on Iran grinds into its sixth month, it’s clear to all but the most intellectually-dishonest Trump loyalists and war-bent Israel-sympathizers that it’s been a spectacular failure. A war of aggression that was supposed to precipitate a revolution has instead galvanized popular support of the Iranian government in defiance of the country’s tormentors, who’ve killed thousands of their fellow citizens and destroyed civilian infrastructure.
Anti-Zionism Was Pioneered By Jews
Is it intrinsically antisemitic to call for a new political order between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea — where the State of Israel currently reigns over 7.5 million Jews and 7.5 million Palestinian Muslims and Christians? By declaring anti-Zionism a form of antisemitism, that’s what Israel’s defenders want you to believe.
How the US-Israel Relationship Weakens America and Harms the World
by Brian McGlinchey, Ron Paul Institute: I’m going to begin our examination of the US-Israel relationship by taking you to an unlikely location, thousands of miles from either Tel Aviv or Washington. We’re also traveling more than 36 years into the past. On December 20, 1989, the United States invaded the Republic of Panama to oust its leader, General Manuel Noriega, who had outlived his usefulness to the empire.
How the US-Israel Relationship Weakens America and Harms the World
On April 25, I spoke at a conference hosted by the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, as part of a lineup that included former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent and former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green. Here are both the video of my speech and my remarks as I’d prepared them; some of my words at the podium naturally varied from what I’d written.
Join The US Military - Kill And Die For Israel
President Trump’s decision to join Israel in launching a regime-change war on Iran has so far cost the lives of at least 13 American service members. More than 200 have been wounded, dozens seriously enough to require evacuations to military hospitals in Europe and the United States. Among them are individuals who’ve suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns and shrapnel wounds. One was facing potential amputation of an arm or leg.
Term Limits Would Make the DC Swamp Even Worse
Though America is beset by increasingly bitter political divisions, there are two convictions that unite Americans across party and demographic lines. Large majorities are certain that Congress isn’t serving the interests of the American people, and that Capitol Hill would become far more virtuous with the imposition of term limits. Despite their broad appeal to our “throw out the bums” instincts, term limits would probably make Congress even worse than it is now.
Pro-Israel Forces Intensify Effort To Control American Discourse
by Brian McGlinchey, Stark Realities: New extremes in the long-running drive to limit debate about Israel, Palestine Across the American political spectrum, support for the State of Israel is steadily eroding.
Israel and the West Set the Stage for Next Round of Warfare on Iran
Peace-loving people throughout the world breathed a sigh of relief when the Israeli-American war on Iran ended in June after 12 days, with President Trump racing to triumphantly declare US strikes had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program. While his rhetoric suggested he wanted Israel and the world to view the US bombing as a lasting resolution of accusations that Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons, Israel and its Western collaborators are already setting the stage for new aggression against Iran.
Department of War?
Last week President Trump took steps to re-name the Department of Defense the “Department of War.” The President explained his rationale for the name change: “It used to be called the Department of War and it had a stronger sound. We want defense, but we want offense too … As Department of War we won everything…and I think we…have to go back to that.” At first it sounds like a terrible idea.
Think America Owes $37 Trillion? It’s Far Worse Than That
When asked how far the US government has plunged into the red, many fiscally-conscious Americans will tell you the national debt has reached $37 trillion. As distressing as that official number is, America’s true fiscal situation is even worse — far worse. According to a barely-publicized Treasury report, the actual grand total of Uncle Sam’s obligations is more than $151 trillion.
US Support For Israel Comes At a Staggering, Multifaceted Price
When asked about the cost of their government’s support of the State of Israel, some Americans will say it’s $3.8 billion a year — the amount of annual military aid the United States is committed to under its current, 10-year “memorandum of understanding” with Israel.
Putting Israel First, Rubio Victimizes Harmless Student Over Op-Ed
Given Marco Rubio’s long history of subservience to the State of Israel — which has earned him a mountain of campaign cash from the country’s US-based collaborators — many Americans were understandably wary that his ascension from senator to secretary of State portended disturbing moves to advance Israel’s interests.

A Golden Share Will Not Make America Great Again
Japanese company Nippon Steel’s plan to purchase US Steel was bound to provoke a strong reaction from left- and right-wing economic nationalists. After all, US Steel was once the world’s largest company, and it was the first company to be valued at over a billion dollars. US Steel was thus a symbol of America’s economic dominance. So it was not surprising that Nippon Steel’s purchase of US Steel was blocked by both the Biden and Trump administrations.
Nuclear Deterrence Requires Only Dozens of Warheads — Not Thousands - LewRockwell
Over the next decade, the US government plans to spend nearly $1 trillion on its nuclear arsenal — with the actual cost certain to run even higher than that. The huge outlay is driven in part by the sheer size of America’s doomsday-weapon collection, which comprises an estimated 3,700 deployed or stockpiled nuclear warheads, not counting another 1,500 that are purportedly “retired” and awaiting dismantlement.
'Hey DOGE! End The NED!'
In a recent American Conservative article, Kelley Vlahos makes a very strong case for putting the National Endowment for Democracy on the DOGE chopping block. The quasi non-government organization (generously funded by the US government) is the Deep State’s “regime change” machine. It harms, not helps, the US reputation overseas.

FEMA Still Paying $9,000 for Covid Funerals, Billions on Pandemic Payouts
As the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) carries out widely-criticized responses to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, officials say the agency’s Disaster Recovery Fund is incapable of handling a third major storm.

OFAC’s Banality of Evil: Small US Agency Victimizes Millions of Foreign Innocents By Brian McGlinchey Stark Realities As tourists complete their strolls to the White House from the east along Pennsylvania Avenue, they pass a relatively unremarkable, columned office building that overlooks Lafayette Square — oblivious that, behind its walls, bureaucrats are quietly inflicting poverty, illness and death on innumerable innocents around the world.
The Civil War Didn't 'Settle' The Question Of State Secession
[Collection]Tyler DurdenThe Civil War Didn't 'Settle' The Question Of State Secession By Brian McGlinchey at Stark Realities Secessionist inclinations are on the rise in the United States, and are sure to intensify after Nov. 5 regardless of which party prevails. When that happens, you can expect the accompanying discourse will be peppered with assertions that states have no right to secede, with many declaring the question was “settled” by the Civil War.
Gaps In Electoral College Tiebreaker Rules Could Bring Constitutional Crisis
Go to Article Gaps In Electoral College Tiebreaker Rules Could Bring Constitutional Crisis By Brian McGlinchey at Stark Realities While many Americans know that an Electoral College tie sends presidential and vice presidential elections into the House of Representatives and Senate, few realize there’s a constitutional crisis lurking in the incomplete rules for resolving such draws.
George Washington Warned Against A 'Passionate Attachment' To Israel
By Brian McGlinchey at Stark Realities As war rages in Gaza, the intensifying debate over the US-Israel relationship spotlights a political paradox: Those Americans who view George Washington with deepest reverence — that is, would-be “conservatives” — are often the ones who most zealously violate the central tenet of his foreign policy philosophy.

Iran's Jewish Population Belies Claims Of Tehran's Genocidal Intent By Brian McGlinchey Stark Realities For decades, Israeli government officials — chief among them, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — have accused Iran of plotting a new Holocaust against the millions of Jews who call the Zionist state home.
Americans Are Fighting for Control of Federal Powers That Shouldn’t Exist
Americans Are Fighting for Control of Federal Powers That Shouldn’t Exist By Brian McGlinchey Stark Realities It’s no secret that politics in the United States is growing increasingly acrimonious — to the point that a 2022 poll found 43% of Americans think a civil war is a least somewhat likely in the next decade.
Penn Students' Lawsuit Shows Campus Antisemitism Uproar Is a Manufactured Crisis
Saturday’s resignation of University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill came after months of controversy — and a viral-video grilling of Magill in a congressional hearing — over allegations the school has become a hotbed of antisemitism.

No Country Has a "Right to Exist" By Brian McGlinchey Stark Realities In the weeks since 2,500 Hamas militants went on a murder and kidnapping rampage in southern Israel, a wave of pro-Palestinian demonstrations has erupted across the United States and around the world.
Israel Fostered the Rise of Hamas, Even After It Turned to Terror
In the aftermath of Saturday’s terrorist and military attacks on Israel by the Palestinian group Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, “The forces of civilization must support Israel in defeating Hamas…In fighting Hamas, Israel is not only fighting for its own people, it is fighting for every country that stands against barbarism.” Those sentiments are quite different from ones Netanyahu privately shared in 2019.

Strange But True: "Price Gouging" Benefits People in Disaster Areas
As millions of Americans struggle to recover from the latest hurricane, state government officials are issuing stern reminders that criminal penalties loom for anyone who engages in “price gouging.” “Price gouging” is the pejorative label applied to the charging of substantially higher prices for goods and services that are in high demand and short supply in disaster-stricken areas.
Hiroshima, Nagasaki Bombings Were Needless, Said World War II’s Top US Military Leaders
Comments by Brian Shilhavy Editor, Health Impact News Since World War II no other nation on the planet has spent more money on their military, and killed more innocent civilians, than the United States of America. These weapons of war bring in huge financial profits to the Globalists, who use their puppet politicians and their control over the corporate media to spew their lies and propaganda to whip up the public into a constant fear over these alleged “enemies” of the American people.
Hiroshima, Nagasaki Bombings Were Needless, Said World War II's Top US Military Leaders
The anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki present an opportunity to demolish a cornerstone myth of American history — that those twin acts of mass civilian slaughter were necessary to bring about Japan’s surrender, and spare a half-million US soldiers who’d have otherwise died in a military conquest of the empire’s home islands. Those who attack this mythology are often reflexively dismissed as unpatriotic, ill-informed or both.

Government Agents Routinely Entering Private Land Without Warrants
For many people, a central attraction of owning and living on a multi-acre expanse of land is the opportunity for complete privacy — to include freedom from the prying eyes of government. While most Americans might understandably believe the Fourth Amendment’s protection against warrantless searches covers all their property, a little-known 1924 Supreme Court decision — Hester v United States — says otherwise.

Debt-Ceiling Theater Masks True Depth of DC's Red Ink
As the latest debt-ceiling drama winds down, Americans are varyingly exasperated, angered, anxious and maybe even a little bit entertained by the spectacle. While their emotions vary, most citizens have something in common: They don’t realize they’re being misled about the actual depth of their government’s financial disorder.
The 2nd Amendment's Misconstrued 'Militia'
America’s latest episode of mass homicide has sparked renewed advocacy for restrictions on gun ownership. Once again, the accompanying debate has many gun control advocates claiming the Second Amendment’s reference to a “well regulated militia” narrows the amendment’s scope if not rendering it altogether moot. Before we examine those claims, it’s important to ensure readers have a proper general understanding of the Bill of Rights.

Israel's New Government Will Put American Lives At Risk
Benjamin Netanyahu’s return to power in Israel has ushered in a government more dominated by religious and ultra-nationalist extremists than any ruling coalition in the country’s 74-year history. While that fact has been well-reported, most Americans are oblivious to a grim implication: The new Israeli government’s extreme policies toward Palestinians and regional rivals will imperil American lives at home and abroad.
The Fentanyl Crisis: Brought To You By Drug Prohibition
As drug overdoses continue rising in the United States, one drug has emerged as the most notorious killer of our day: fentanyl. Unfortunately, those clamoring loudest about fentanyl’s death toll support policies that actually bolster its position in the illicit drug trade. First approved for U.S. medical use in 1968, fentanyl is a synthetic opioid used to counter severe pain after surgery, and chronic severe pain. Though similar to morphine or heroin, it’s 50 to 100 times more potent.
Flurry of Calls Among Saudi Diplomatic Staff and Spy Coincided With 9/11 Hijackers’ US Arrival

FBI Mistakenly Names Saudi Consulate Employee Eyed in 9/11 Investigation
Over the past several months, the FBI released thousands of pages of material relating to its investigation of Saudi government links to the 9/11 attacks. This wave of declassifications was pursuant to Executive Order 14040, which President Biden issued on Sept. 3 under pressure from more than 1,800 survivors, family members and first responders who threatened to protest his presence at memorial events if he didn’t make good on a 2020 campaign promise to boost 9/11 transparency.
Judge Reinforces Myth About Motive of Pulse Nightclub Attack
Originally published in Stark Realities. In a jaw-dropping example of government imposing woke mythology on an individual citizen, a Florida judge has ordered a man who defaced an LGBT mural to write a 25-page essay centered on a thoroughly false premise – that the 2016 massacre at the gay Pulse nightclub in Orlando deliberately targeted the LGBT community.

Weaponized Dollar May Explode in America's Face
There’s much to despise about economic sanctions. Aside from the fundamental immorality of making innocent individuals suffer for the sins of governments, sanctions almost universally fail to achieve the goals of those who inflict them. Nonetheless, sanctions have become the knee-jerk U.S. government response to any real or claimed foreign misdeed. According to the U.S. Treasury department, the number of U.S.-imposed sanctions soared 933% between 2000 and 2021.
History Won't Be Kind to Operation Warp Speed ⋆ Brownstone Institute
Back in the 1980s when an AIDS diagnosis was most terrifying, Cato Institute co-founder Ed Crane warned against a federal solution to the virus. He made the point that particularly with killer viruses, you don’t want to limit pursuit of a cure to traditional players. Paraphrasing Crane, you want all manner of innovative, and frequently “crazy” minds crafting all sorts of alternative approaches. He nailed it. Of that, business history is clear.
Public Health Erred on the Side of Catastrophe
Overreaching public health officials and politicians—and the journalists-in-name-only who served as their mindless, unquestioning megaphones—have fully earned our withering condemnation. Indeed, holding them accountable is essential to sparing ourselves and future generations from repeating this dystopian chapter of human history. Read Full Article » Show comments Hide Comments
Comedy, Tragedy, or Both?
The Saturday Night Live skit on Covid policy is a welcome relief, a cultural sign that rationality has started to return. Yes, the segment is truly hilarious. And it reveals so much about the present moment in which even highly politicized elites are realizing that the dissidents in the Covid wars had it right all along. At the same time, the skit speaks to a deeper truth about the last two years.
