Trump breaks silence on Israel’s military campaign in Gaza: ‘Finish the problem’

By Vaughn Hillyard and Allan Smith The former president has largely avoided weighing in on Gaza as President Joe Biden has faced criticism from within the Democratic coalition over his support for Israel. PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Israel must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas, his most definitive position on the conflict since the terror group killed 1,200 Israelis and took more than 200 hostages on Oct. 7. “You’ve got to finish the problem,” Trump said on Fox News on Tuesday when asked about…

Stranger Days: The Neocons Are Lining Up Behind Trump

Sven R. Larson The neocons have been fighting to keep Trump out of the White House since at least 2021. So why are they now getting behind the former president? Donald Trump continues to score victories in Republican caucuses and primary elections. After his convincing wins in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada, he went on to beat his remaining opponent Nikki Haley by a 60-40 margin in South Carolina. This victory in the ‘Palmetto state’ is his most impressive to date. It was an open primary, which means that voters…

William de Berg, Assassination Talk Is in the Air

William de Berg “The protective shield that all democracies and social orders rely on – legitimacy of the governing body, some level of elite responsibility, the willingness of citizens to view their neighbors in a civic way – is in an advanced stage of decline or collapse.  … It’s quite possible that the powder keg that America’s sitting on will explode over the course of 2024.” –  Dr. Larry Jacobs, University of Minnesota [1] 2024 is already starting out as the most volatile in modern presidential history.   The rhetoric—and violence—has…

Jim Fetzer, Ph.D., The Demolition of Justice in the USA

Jim Fetzer, Ph.D. The latest affront to the administration of justice has come from the decision in the E. Jean Carroll “fantasy” trial, where a woman who appears to be obsessed with sex has won a staggering $83.3 million verdict against Donald Trump for an alleged defamation for denying her claim that he had raped her at a Bergdorf Goodman store, where she cannot even remember the year of its occurrence. A woman who has been raped (absent roofies) will not ony remember the year but the month, the week, the…

NBC, Fears grow that Trump will use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he returns to the White House

By Peter Nicholas, Katherine Doyle, Megan Lebowitz and Courtney Kube [Editor’s note: How opponents of democracy plan to sabotage democracy in the name of “democracy”.] WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is sparking fears among those who understand the inner workings of the Pentagon that he would convert the nonpartisan U.S. military into the muscular arm of his political agenda as he makes comments about dictatorship and devalues the checks and balances that underpin the nation’s two-century-old democracy. A circle of appointees independent of Trump’s political operation steered him away from ideas that would have pushed the limits…

Joachim Hagopian, PART 2 OF THE LLOYD AUSTIN SAGA – MEDICAL CRISIS VS. WWIII CRISIS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST

Joachim Hagopian While Republicans are calling for SecDef Lloyd Austin’s resignation, some maintain that President Biden should fire him, but it appears neither are budging. Biden’s press secretary claims the president has “complete confidence” in Austin. After National Security Council spokesman John Kirby admitted there was no notification or knowledge at the White House or the National Security Council until Thursday afternoon that Austin was in the hospital ICU, he then states: There is no plan for anything other than for Secretary Austin to stay in the job. Meanwhile, GOP frontrunner Donald…

Trump’s mug shot is now a means of entertainment and fundraising − but it will go down in history as an important cultural artifact

Jonathan Finn Former President Donald Trump poses for his booking photo at the Fulton County Jail on Aug. 24, 2023. Fulton County Sheriff Office via Getty Images One of the most anticipated events in the summer of 2023 was former President Donald Trump’s mug shot. The Fulton County Sheriff’s office released Trump’s mug shot on Aug. 24, 2023, a little more than one week after a grand jury in Georgia indicted the former president and 18 associates for alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Trump’s photo instantly generated…

Sundance, Bill Barr Refuses to Say if He Assisted the Jack Smith Targeting of Donald Trump

Sundance  Bill Barr enjoys talking about the weaponized DOJ as if the DOJ was not weaponized.  Bill Barr is a very dangerous figure in the government weaponization process, and he had a lot of people fooled for a long time.  Fortunately, he didn’t fool me and many of you remember exactly why. Additionally, during my 2020 trip to DC, it was specific suspicions about Bill Barr that necessitated going directly into the system.  Through research and eventually a stroke of luck, I was able to trace the people Attorney General Barr…

David Neal, Why the Assassination of JFK Matters to Us Today

By David Neal To keep the peace and defend the country are a U.S. President’s primary duty. Contrary to many shallow historians, President John F. Kennedy was not going into Vietnam with ground troops; he was pulling 1000 “advisors” out in Dec 1963, all the rest of them by 1965. (see NSAM 263).  He was murdered on Nov 22, 1963, one month before the first 1000 could be pulled out.  Lyndon Johnson reversed this order with NSAM273 four days after the murder and by March 1965 500,000 American soldiers were in Vietnam. The…
