Ilhan Omar Is Just Another Victim of Zion's Politically Lethal Sting Those who opposed the Israel Lobby and placed America's interests ahead of Israel's were punished politically.

Trump: The Warlord of Economic Savagery Trump's retrogressive policies across the board - sanctions, embargoes, asset freezes, and punitive tariffs have not only destabilized the economies of Latin American, Asian, and African countries, but also wreaked havoc on the agricultural sectors of the United States and the travel, tourism, and financial service industries of Florida, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.

More VIP heads to roll in Chinese massage parlor sting While the corporate media have focused on the gossipy and salacious aspect of the sting, they are ignoring the national security implications. The use of Chinese-owned massage parlors by individuals who are members of Mar-a-Lago and close to the president, as well as the aide to a Republican congressman, represents a potential political blackmail situation.

Dumbing down the broadcast news consumer The hiring by CNN of Sarah Isgur Flores, a longtime Republican Party hack and former spokesman for Attorney General Jeff Sessions, as the political director for the 2020 campaign should not surprise anyone. Lest anyone point to MSNBC as having more sense than CNN, it is noteworthy that Isgur also interviewed at 30 Rockefeller Center, NBC News headquarters in New York, for a position there prior to accepting the one at CNN.

London and Paris Hypocritical on Private Military Firms Stung by the past exploits of mercenary companies, the Western military-intelligence complex came up with the term "private military companies" to mask the true nature of these corporate brigands. The PMC term stands as a stark example of "newspeak" employed by the CIA and their friends in Britain and France. Mercenary firms even have their own Washington, DC-based lobbying organization, the International Stability Operations

Pompeo's 'Pandora's Box' Pompeo has truly opened up "Pandora's Box" with his leading the parade of international recognition of Guaido as Venezuela's president in an undemocratic usurpation of power.

Trump recognition of rival Venezuelan government sets a dangerous new precedent What portends for Venezuela is a situation that will rapidly be copied by other countries that will rush to recognize rival presidents and governments, perhaps even extending support to the establishment of governments-in-exile. Such situations will only add to the destabilization of international relations that already permeates the globe.

Government shutdown to cause the suffering of the public is a violation of federal anti-terrorism law Donald Trump's vindictive government shutdown qualifies as a violation of the U.S. criminal code on domestic terrorism. He is no different than a terrorist hostage taker who refuses to release his victims unless his demands are met. Trump has stated that the shutdown could last "months, even years" unless he gets his $5.7 billion for a vanity wall on the U.S.-Mexican border.

From the barracks to the courtroom: US 'lawfare' in action Pro-democracy forces in Latin America and elsewhere no longer have to worry about sudden troop movements and tanks converging on presidential palaces, but armies of judges and lawyers armed with nothing more than constitutional provisions and criminal codes stretched to the point of incredulity.
