USS LIBERTY: The Fifth Fleet Sacrifice Why did it happen?

“Truth and America’s honor were ignominiously sacrificed to provide cover for Israel’s transparent lies and despicable act of perfidy.” -Phillip F. Tourney, Pres. USS LIBERTY Veterans Association

(MELBOURNE, Aust.) - We have long wondered, and conjectured, the “why” of the USS Liberty incident, as it has become known and referred to.

“Incident” in this case, being an easier event to push onto the back burner and forget while it simmers away harmlessly, unlikely to boil over and burn the stew.

The Next 9/11-Made in Israel?

If, as Benjamin Netanyahu admitted, 9/11 was “very good” for Israel, a nuclear 9/11 might be even better.

(OSAKA, Japan) - Citing the possibility of a terrorist organization getting nuclear weapons as the greatest threat to U.S. security, Barack Obama persuaded 46 other countries at the recent Nuclear Security Summit to agree to secure the world’s loose nuclear material.

Those leaders who came to Washington might have done more to avert a nuclear attack, however, if they had asked the U.S. President to account for America’s own loose nukes.

(HAWARA / SALEM) - Religion and pathology make a dangerous mix; that's how Israel's Haaretz begins their article today about the West Bank's far-right extremist settlers in Yizthar and the "price tag" campaign.

Three Points of View: The United States, Pakistan and India

STRATFOR Writer Peter Zeihan examines the interests and potential futures.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - In recent weeks, STRATFOR has explored how the U.S. government has been seeing its interests in the Middle East and South Asia shift.

When it comes down to it, the United States is interested in stability at the highest level — a sort of cold equilibrium among the region’s major players that prevents any one of them, or a coalition of them — from overpowering the others and projecting power outward.

Why are Today`s Leaders all `Small`
Is the Time of Greatness Gone?

Doors are kicked in without search warrants, judges allow any imaginable abuse of human rights and the real protections of the Constitution are thought of by most Americans as radical and unAmerican.

(CINCINNATI, Ohio) - How do we define greatness in leaders? Simple, we look around us find none of it and use that as a definition.

Is it that great men (and women) are gone or that we simply don’t deserve any better than we get?

Karzai Pulls Support of US War Policy

Afghan President lashes out against western governments; threatens to side with Taliban.

Who`s Afraid of 9/11 Conspiracy Theories?

“The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” —Queen Gertrude, Hamlet

(OSAKA, Japan) - Whenever someone insists too strongly about something not being true, we tend to suspect that maybe it is. In their denials of involvement in 9/11, do Israel’s apologists “protest too much”?

While it would take a small book to adequately document the Israeli connection to 9/11—as Antiwar.com editor Justin Raimondo has attempted in The Terror Enigma—let us briefly recall some of the more intriguing facts as reported in the mainstream media...

A Little Known Fact About the 9/11 Planes

Another seriously undeniable flaw in the 'official' 9/11 story.

No Longer America
What First Amendment?

The "Enemy Belligerent, Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010" is a reincarnation of the failed, freedom stripping political acts of the Bush era.
