Will Jack Teixeira Get the General Petraeus Treatment for Mishandling Classified Intelligence?
At this point Jack Teixeira is alleged to have posted classified intelligence documents to the web, but there is no direct evidence that he actually was the one who placed those documents in a chat room. That remains to be seen if the allegation, which comes from one of the members of the chat room, can be proven in court. If that cannot be...
Pentagon “Leaks”: 5 ways to tell REAL from FAKE
We promised a longer take on the Pentagon “leaks”, and here it goes. Regular readers will probably be familiar with my view on leaked documents in general, but if you’re not allow me to quote my own 2019 article on the (absurd) “Afghanistan papers”: An awful lot of modern “leaks” are no such thing. They are Orwellian exercises in...
If You Oppose Biden’s Ukraine Policy…You May Be Sent To Jail!
The Biden Administration has indicted four Americans and charged them with conspiracy to spread Russian propaganda and acting as unregistered Russian agents. The four are members of the African People’s Socialist Party, which has opposed US foreign policy since 1971. They face 15 years in prison. Also today, the Biden Administration...
Washington Is Determined To Turn Taiwan Into The Next Ukraine
Bloomberg has reported that the US has struck a deal to sell 400 ground-based Harpoon missiles to Taiwan, which will increase tensions with China. It looks as if, as the Ukraine war is lost, the Biden Administration – backed by Republicans – are looking for a “new” Ukraine. Also today: Peace is breaking out in the Middle...
The End of American ‘Exceptionalism’?
Watching a once great nation commit suicide is not pretty. President Joe Biden does not seem to understand that his role as elected leader of the United States is to take actions that directly or indirectly benefit the folks who voted for him as well as the other Americans who did not do so. That is how a constitutional democracy is supposed to...
Gaetz To Biden: ‘Tell Congress Where Ukraine Aid Is Going!’
Rep. Matt Gaetz has introduced legislation to compel the Biden Administration to inform Congress of the number of US troops in Ukraine and all information about US military assistance to Ukraine. This is an important oversight function and should be supported. Also today: Ted Carpenter tells us why sanctions don’t work. Why do we have 200...
Economic Sanctions Are Simultaneously Ineffective and Cruel
Joe Biden’s administration keeps boasting about how successful international sanctions have been in punishing Russia for invading Ukraine. But that boast is increasingly hollow, both with respect to the extent of international unityand the success of the sanctions. Instead of being a success story, the U.S.-led sanctions campaign against...
Endangering Washington’s Divine Right to Deceive
Do Americans have the right to know if the $100 billion in their tax dollars that the Biden administration is delivering to Ukraine is being wasted? No, according to the U.S. Congress – which recently voted against creating an Inspector General to investigate whether handouts to the most corrupt government in Europe were being stolen. Do...
More Unanswered Red Flags Regarding Jack Teixeira
Several former military and intelligence professionals have contacted me and voiced similar doubts about the pat story being circulated regarding National Guard Airman Jack Texeira and the allegations that he removed TOP SECRET documents from a SCIF, photographed them and then posted them to a gamer chat. They all agree, something is not right....
Will the End of the Petrodollar End the US Empire?
Future historians may say that the most significant event of 2023 had nothing to do with Donald Trump, other 2024 presidential candidates, or even the war in Ukraine. Instead, the event with the most long-term significance may be one that received little attention in the mainstream media — Saudi Arabia’s movement toward accepting currencies...
