Turkey has been supporting Hamas for a long time, and there are structures sympathetic to them in Egypt. In anticipation of retaliation from Iran, including the activation of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps) in Syria, as well as repeated attacks by the Lebanon’s Hezbollah and the launch of missiles […]

Why George Clooney, Peter Welch, And The New York Times, Are Dangerous
I opposed the invasion of Iraq by Bush in 2003 — which destroyed that country — even before it was perpetrated. George Clooney, Peter Welch, the New York Times, and other liars or fools of liars, did not. I opposed the bombing of Libya by Obama in 2011 — which […]
Kiev’s Worldwide Terrorist Campaign Is Indistinguishable From Al Qaeda Or ISIS’
Kiev intelligence chief’s declaration to kill its opponent’s civilians wherever they may be is indistinguishable from Al Qaeda or ISIS.
Western Imperialism Still Is Doing The Main Harm To The World
On February 23rd, Middle East Discourse headlined “International aid to Idlib, Syria is controlled by the terrorists” and its Editor Steven Sahiounie reported that earthquake aid from Western countries, and all aid that is being administered through the U.N., is going almost entirely to the two areas of Syria that […]
Americans Find Gangsters Suitable To Lead The Country
On 13 November 2019, the U.S. President said, regarding Syria, “We’re keeping the oil, we have the oil, the oil is secure, we left troops behind only for the oil.” That was at a press conference, and none of the reporters asked him any question about that statement. They certainly […]
It’s As-If Voters Want To Remain Deceived
Right now, most Governments do things that are commonly said to be evil when perpetrated by an ‘enemy’ country but which are simultaneously considered to be okay when one’s own Government does it. For example, the U.S. Government invaded Iraq in 2003 on the basis of purely lies (for which […]
The Many Lives Of Ayman Al-Zawahiri
Ayman al-Zawahiri is dead – or so we are told. Al-Qaida’s chief and successor to the slain Osama bin Laden, he was deemed the chief ideologue and mastermind behind the audacious September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. On July 31, he was supposedly killed in a drone strike […]
Kill Al-Zawahiri
It is unsettling to see a democratic government like the United States beating its chest over the high-tech murder of a retired jihadist, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri. The 71-year-old al-Zawahiri succeeded the assassinated Osama bin Laden as chief of the anti-US underground group, al-Qaeda. The mild-mannered, Egyptian had been a local […]
Reflections On Events In Afghanistan (XVIII)
18. India’s ‘over-the-horizon’ dilemma In England, they’d plan a park, build it but wouldn’t complete it until they could observe for a while the foot tracks of walkers, before deciding where to lay the pathways for optimal utility. The Blinken Administration and Modi Govt apparently think they don’t have that […]
Messianic Failure: Pursuing The GWOT Jabberwock
Anniversaries can provide occasions for reflection and deep consideration. Past errors and misjudgements can be considered soberly; historical distance provides perspective. Mature reflections may be permitted. But they can also serve the opposite purpose: to cake, cloak and mask the record. The gooey name GWOT, otherwise known as the Global […]
Paul Wolfowitz: Deluded And At Liberty
It was all marvellous for Paul Wolfowitz to get on Australian television (why bother?) to brusquely discuss those attacks on US soil in September 2001 and criticism of the invasion of Iraq by US-led forces. After two decades, the former US deputy secretary of defense has not mellowed. With each […]
Is The Defeat In Afghanistan Aimed At Embarrassing Russia And China?
Washington is, since September 11, 2001, in the hands of the followers of the Rumsfeld/Cebrowski doctrine. The United States is now behaving like a racketeer. The chaos will continue in Afghanistan for a long time. Russian, Chinese and European companies who wish to do so will be able to mine in Afghanistan, but only if they entrust their security to the US forces. Those who refuse this protection will be eliminated.
