IRAN: Everything You Need to Know But Were Too Afraid of the Israel Lobby to Ask, by Ilana Mercer

There exist in Israel a condition that is as much a part of the nation’s collective ‘soul,’ as it is the ‘souls’ of individual Israelis. The mindset is Jewish supremacy; the shared endeavor emanating from it is regional, military supremacy. IT’S ABOUT PALESTINE. Of all the known facts about Israel’s war of aggression against Iran,…

Stand By for American Implosion, by Kevin Barrett

Is the United States of America imploding? There are a multitude of signs suggesting as much, beginning with Trump’s June 2025 imposition of martial law on Los Angeles, America’s second-biggest city, to crack down on immigration protests that escalated into riots. Some observers claim Trump provoked the riots, deliberately or otherwise, by sending federal National…

President Trump’s Plan for the Middle East, by Paul Craig Roberts

In discussion yesterday with Nima on Dialogue Works about the Israeli-Iranian-Trump-Netanyahu ongoings, I suggested a bold and innovative plan for the Middle East that Trump should present to the world in a speech to the UN General Assembly. I even offered to write the speech. I formed the plan from mulling over insights into Trump’s…

The Time Has Arrived for a Comprehensive Middle East Peace, by Jeffrey D. Sachs and Sybil Fares

The attack by Israel and the US on Iran had two significant effects. First, it once again exposed the root cause of turmoil in the region: Israel’s project to “reshape the Middle East” through regime-change, aimed at maintaining its dominance and blocking a Palestinian state. Second, it highlighted the futility and recklessness of this strategy….

Let Us Now Bless the Jews… with Tough Blessing, by Jung-Freud

Recently, Tucker Carlson’s interview with Senator Ted Cruz went viral. What grabbed people’s attention, raising alarm in respectable circles but fanning enthusiasm in the alternative/dissident political sphere, of course wasn’t Cruz’s fanboy ruminations about Israel(as that sort of thing is dime-a-dozen among politicians of both parties) but Tucker’s pushback and counter-argument, as well as his…

The Trouble with Talking with the Crazy Aunt in the Attic, by Philip Kraske

Has President Trump become the crazy aunt in the attic that everybody knows is there but nobody talks about? He closed his announcement of the bombing of Iran this way: “And I wanna thank everybody and, in particular…God. I wanna just say, we love you, God, and we love our great military. Protect them. God…

A Forceful Russian Response to NATO Recklessness, by Ron Unz

A couple of weeks ago, Israel launched its sudden surprise attack against Iran and within hours successfully decapitated most of that country’s top military leadership. The resulting Israel-Iran war soon drew America into the conflict, with President Donald Trump ordering a massive bombing attack against Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities and the Iranians retaliating with missile…

Trump Rolls Over for a New War, by Philip Giraldi

It is generally believed that American voters elected Donald Trump president at least in part due to their embracing his lies that he was a peacemaker who would not involve the United States in the pointless wars that have proliferated since 9/11. Trump’s predecessor the hapless Genocide Joe Biden had entangled the US deep in…

Here’s Proof That Israel Lost the War, by Mike Whitney

The American people are not being told why Israel agreed to a ceasefire with Iran. Yes, Israel was rapidly running out of air-defense interceptors (making it more vulnerable to Iranian attacks.) But that issue is only of secondary importance. The real reason they wanted a ceasefire was because they were getting systematically pulverized and needed…

Foulism Pt 2: The Long-Term Effect of Crime/Corruption Made Banal on TV and the Complete Fading of the Anglo Advantage, by Jung-Freud

It seems over the years that more and more Americans have come to stop worrying and learn to love corruption. It’s as if many people, perhaps the majority, have become accustomed to corruption(and even criminality), much like Asian Indians have learned to live with air pollution. Corruption and foulness have always defined humanity and in…

Let Trump Save Us from War with Iran, by Paul Craig Roberts

The ongoing pundit discussions whether or not the US attack destroyed the three Iranian nuclear facilities, which might or might not have been involved in developing a weapon, with many challenging the Trump administration’s report that all three facilities were destroyed, is stupid and even dangerous. The whore media, incapable of thought, is desperate to…

Foulism: Foul Play Replaces Fair Play, Re-Moralization Follows Demoralization, and the True Failure of the Imagination, by Jung Freud

Call it tribalism, ethnocentrism, nationalism, or whatever. It’s natural for a people to prefer and favor their own side. Any people who fail to do so either out of stupidity, decadence, complacency, apathy, or persuasion(by the enemy/rival/competitor-posing-as-friend) will fade from history. That is absolutely guaranteed. However, to make my-side-ism work within the context of larger…

Over 700,000 Companies Compete in China’s Robotics Market: Morgan Stanley, by Hua Bin

I recently wrote about Morgan Stanley’s April report titled Humanoid: A $5 Trillion Market ( ) A couple of weeks ago, Morgan Stanley published another research paper on the Chinese robotics industry. According to the report, China’s robotics market is set to grow at an annual rate of 23 per cent to US$108 billion by…

Doctorow Suggests That Trump’s Political Theater Was a Successful Strategy, by Paul Craig Roberts

Washington has wasted the first quarter of the 21st century fighting wars for Israel, the consequence being the destruction of the Arab world. Yesterday on Coffee and a Mike I agreed with Mike Farris that Trump had gone over to the dark side and was continuing America’s war-fighting for Israel, the consequence being a split…

Zionist Israel as the Assassination Nation, by Ron Unz

Ten days ago a sudden surprise Israeli attack inflicted a terrible, decapitating blow upon the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran, successfully assassinating the country’s top military commanders, its chief nuclear weapons negotiator, and nearly all of its most prominent nuclear scientists. Many of these victims were killed in their own homes together with…

Bullseye On Israel, by Mike Whitney

First, let’s state the obvious: Trump’s pinprick attacks on Iran inflicted “no substantial damage” to their nuclear facilities. The bunker busting bombs did apparently strike near the entry of two of the facilities, but those sites were already locked down (evacuated?) in preparation for the bombing. The government announced on Sunday that all the enriched…

The Horsemen of the Apocalypse, by Paul Craig Roberts

I awoke this morning to find that America Again Crawls on Its Belly for Israel and adds another war crime to its impressive 21st century list. The recklessness increases. President Trump committed an act of war for Israel. This comes on top of some fool green-lighting an attack on the Russian strategic triad, an attack…

Trump Bombs Iran, Says It Was Just a Quickie, by Andrew Anglin

We Should Give Matt Gaetz a Chance, by Andrew Anglin

Matt Gaetz hosted a Zero Hedge backed debate between libertarian Dave Smith and (allegedly non-Jewish) neocon global domininationist Robert Spencer this week. Overall, the debate is mundane and not worth watching. Probably, everyone is familiar with all of the content here, and these debates are sort of just repetitive and tiresome at this point, particularly…

Russia Wants to Have Its Cake and Eat It Too, by Paul Craig Roberts

The Kremlin’s spokesman said the countries in the Middle East are “now plunging into the abyss of instability and war.” The Kremlin should have thought about that before Putin green-lighted the instability and war by standing aside from Russia’s Iranian ally, just as Putin stood aside from Russia’s Syrian ally, thus leading to the destruction…

The Presidents of Russia and China Announce the Cardinal Points of the Obvious, by John Helmer

It was just before high noon in Moscow on Thursday, June 19, when President Vladimir Putin initiated his telephone call to President Xi Jinping of China. A read-out by Putin’s foreign policy assistant, Yury Ushakov, followed almost immediately. Xi did not authorize his summary for twenty-four hours until the Chinese official media organ, Global Times,…

Israel’s Attack on Iran: The Violent New World Being Born Is Going to Horrify You, by Jonathan Cook

Twenty years ago, the US warned prematurely of the ‘birth pangs’ of a new Middle East. Now they have arrived in full force – and they will not end in Iran Western politicians and media are tying themselves up in knots trying to spin the impossible: presenting Israel’s unmistakable war of aggression against Iran as…

Putin Aligns with Israel and Finds a New Way to Deny Reality, by John Helmer

John Helmer reports that Putin said he supports the “unconditional security of Israel” and that the Russian-Iranian treaty “did not envisage military cooperation.” Is this Putin’s green light for a US/Israeli strike on Iran? Why does Putin support the security of Israel but not of Iran? Israel is the aggressor, not Iran. Iran is a…

Sharing an Insightful Analysis on the War, by Hua Bin

I’m still putting together the essay laying out my perspective on China’s role in the Iran Israel US war. I am confident it will address many readers’ questions around the war’s implications and China’s potential course of action – of course, from a totally official perspective. I’ll also share a detailed and nuanced analysis of…

Why You Should Hate the Rich Even More (w/ Rob Larson), by Chris Hedges

The ultra-wealthy hover above the realities of the world around them like extraterrestrial aliens. Their material reality physically separates them from the rest of society with gated communities and private jets but paradoxically, their very wealth also severs them psychologically, unable to understand the reality of the 99%. Joining host Chris Hedges on this episode…
