TIDBIT: PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS ON SYRIA
April 26, 2013 By
I have to admit, this editorial of Paul Craig Roberts resonated with me, except for one omission: the Islamicist version of Yahwism is equally at fault here. But otherwise, it resonates, and I thought I'd share: If you want to go to heaven, you had better get busy overthrowing Syria — … [Read more...]
EXPLOSION IN IRANIAN NUCLEAR ISOTOPE ENRICHMENT FACILITY?
February 4, 2013 By
Sometimes I am amazed at how stories in the media seem to contradict themselves, or at least raise significant questions. Let's consider two of them: Iranian expert confirms blast in Fordow uranium enrichment facility. And this one: Iranian expert confirms blast in Fordow uranium enrichment facility. Now we assume for the sake of argument that the explosion occurred. The question now is, how, and who did it? One obvious answer - since the explosion allegedly occurred near the entrance of the facility - would be sabotage by some internal dissident group, doubtless sponsored in … [Read more...]
ISRAEL, CHURCHES, AND CONGRESSIONAL AID: MORE HIGH OCTANE SPECULATION
November 30, 2012 By
First, consider this: Hallelujah: Traditional Churches Challenge Congress On Gift Money To Israel I'm one of those that is genuinely grateful to be living in a country that is secular, for like it or not, secularism affords an unprecedented degree of freedom and tolerance, though as we all know, liberty (and I do not confuse freedom and liberty) is under assault in it. It allows religious expression, but doesn't sanction any particular version of it, though, in recent years, it has made of secularism something of a religion in an of itself, with ludicrous strictures against menorahs or … [Read more...]
KISSINGER: A WORLD WITHOUT ISRAEL
October 19, 2012 By
Normally I schedule these daily blogs in two-week clumps, every other Thursday or Friday, and this week is no different. And as I sit here perched atop my keyboard looking out the window, which I had opened to view the cheerful overcast drizzly day, in one of those odd synchronicities, as if to underscore the gloominess of having to turn to the subject matter of goepolitics and politics, the sun came out in a burst of depressing sunshine, and the birds started chirping and singing happily. Yea, I admit, I'm a rain person and not a sunshine person. What underscored my mood of gloom with the … [Read more...]
MEDVEDEV’S DIRECTIVES: RUSSIA SERVES WARNING
August 28, 2012 By
As most of you here are aware, I am a regular reader of The Daily Bell from Great Britain, and while I have my occasional philosophical disagreements, in the main I value its articles and contributors, one of whom is Paul Craig Roberts, who has written a rather sobering article that recently appeared in the Bell. But before I get to that, while reading this article, I would like the reader to pay special attention to those portions of it that concern Russia, and more particularly, Dmitri Medvedev's directives to the Russian armed forces: Is Washington Deaf As Well as Criminal? Well, the … [Read more...]
BULGARIA BOMBING, FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS, AND ISRAEL: A MUSING
July 27, 2012 By
By now we've all heard of the tragic bombing of a bus in Bulgaria which claimed the lives of Israeli tourists. And, predictably, this has already been blamed on Iran. I'm sorry, but for the moment, I'm just not buying it. Don't get me wrong here, radical Islamic terrorist organizations do exist, they do target "infidel" westerners and Israelis. But... ... the rush is on not to blame radical Islamic terrorist organizations, but Iran. So let's pause, here, and reflect: why would Iran do such a thing, knowing full well that there are forces in the upper echelons of oligarchical power in … [Read more...]
ON SPECIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH ISRAEL
July 20, 2012 By
During the past months I've been commenting about the geopolitical realignment taking place in the world, but there is one stable feature throughout all this transition, and it is the "special relationship" that supposedly obtains between the US and Israel. After all(we're reminded time and time again), the USA is allied to the only real democracy in the Middle East, right? (On that basis, why don't we have better relations with the world's largest democracy, India? but that's an inconvenient question). This article was sent to me by a friend, and in reading it, I have to say, it echoes my … [Read more...]
