Leading Papers Incite ‘Supreme International Crime’ By Jim Naureckas
To advocate for war, as the Washington Post and New York Times op-ed pages have done, is to incite a crime–“the supreme international crime,” as Jackson noted. How would we react if leading papers were to run articles suggesting that genocide was the best solution to an international conflict–or that lynching is the answer to… Continue reading

As a lifetime student of classical mainline Islamic jurisprudential school of thought called “Sunni fiqh”, I feel saddened to note how the Western mainstream media succumbed to the Islamophobic propaganda of affixing the epithet “Sunni” to the militia of the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

From the horse's mouth: U.S. Dollar Strategic Backfire On U.S. Government Policy
It is very difficult to find a foreign policy deployed by the United States Govt that has been successful in recent years. In fact, almost all aggressive foreign policy initiatives have resulted in profound losses either in financial strategic position or in alliances with previous staid allied nations.

Dollar Imperialism, 2015 Edition By MICHÈLE BRAND and RÉMY HERRERA
The Fed effectively acts as the world’s central bank, but sets monetary policy only in its own interest.

Ukraine: This Is a Declaration of War
At times I feel completely overwhelmed by the current US-NATO military operations aimed at Russia. It’s growing rapidly – one can’t help but wonder if the recent ‘victory’ of the self-defensive forces in eastern Ukraine wasn’t allowed by Washington and Kiev as a way to get public opinion behind the already well established plans for… Continue reading

Why the United States Always Loses Its Wars By Joachim Hagopian
America loses all its wars because it seems we’ve always been on the wrong side of history.
