How Trump Thwarted Calculated Israeli Effort to Keep U.S. in Syria

James Fetzerblog

Gareth Porter The Pentagon was not the only party pressing Donald Trump to keep troops in Syria last year. It turns out the Israeli government and its supporters in Washington were working very hard to get the Trump administration to use America’s military presence there to support an Israeli campaign of airstrikes aimed at threatening war with Iran. The Israeli strategy was aimed at dividing Russia from Iran and thus putting pressure on Tehran to withdraw its military personnel from Syria. A campaign by a pro-Israel think tank actually succeeded in getting…

Robert David Steele, How Our Military can help Defend Our Border

James Fetzerblog

Robert David Steele Few people outside of the Department of Defense (DoD) understand that in preparation for winning two major theater wars, DoD has within its ranks hundreds of thousands of specialists – and tens of thousands of pieces of construction equipment as well as theater and tactical intelligence equipment able to surveil and deny key terrain – all of which are in peacetime available for training missions within the USA that support the President’s domestic objectives.  There cannot be a more important domestic objective than the defense of our…

Marc Thiessen, The Ten Worst Things Trump did in 2018

James Fetzerblog

By Marc A. Thiessen   [Editor’s note: Once again, I regard some of what Thiessen takes to be bad as good  just as I take some of what he regards as good as not. In this case,  where I regard 3 (seperating children from their families at the border as having been his obligation to follow a law signed by Bill Clinton and enforced by Barack Obama overwhelmingly more often) as one more Democratic political ploy, 2  (his plan to pull out of Afghanistan) and 1 (his plan to pull out of Syria) as his wisest foreign…

Marc Thiessen, The 10 best things Trump has done in 2018

James Fetzerblog

By Marc A. Thiessen   [Editor’s note: While I take exception to some of his claims, where I regard 3 (his tough stance against Moscow, which was forced upon him by the Russiagate hoax) and 2 (pulling out of the Iran deal, which was in deference to Israel and perhaps his greatest foreign policy blunder) as mistakes, I like the author as (for the most part) objective and balanced), where his list gives us a perspective to contrast with each of our own.] In his second year in office, the list…

Lee Smith, New Documents Suggest the Steele Dossier was a Deliberate Setup for Trump

James Fetzerblog

After nearly two years since the Steele dossier was published, it remains the cornerstone of the case for collusion. The dossier model has also given rise to similar operations. Lee Smith A trove of recently released documents sheds further light on the scope and logistics of the information operation designed to sabotage an American election. Players include the press, political operatives from both parties, and law enforcement and intelligence officials. Their instrument was the Steele dossier, first introduced to the American public two years ago. A collection of reports compiled…

Jeremiah Johnson, The Calm Before the Storm

James Fetzerblog

Jeremiah Johnson [Editor’s note: While I disagree with the author about what Trump has accomplished, which, in my view, includes improving relations between North and South Korea and ending the war in Syria, hopefully to be followed by ending the war in Afghanistan, improving the economy and reducing unemployment, all while under attack by the Mockingbird Media and the Deep State, I respect well-reasoned critiques and, in that spirit, publish this one here. Prior to the midterms, Rasmussen had his popularity rating across the nation at 50% and, perhaps even…

Matt Purple, Washington Melts Down over Trump’s Syria Withdrawal

James Fetzerblog

Matt Purple  Their obsession with Vladimir Putin misses the point and obscured the high cost of our military misadventures. He’s a wily one, that Vladimir Putin. Consider all that he’s managed to accomplish over the last 24 hours, according to the geopolitical wizards on Twitter. At Putin’s behest, President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a withdrawal of American troops from Syria. That’s now cleared the path for Russia to exert control over Damascus, the Middle East, indeed the world itself, because Moscow has at last secured the jewel in its…

Paul Craig Roberts: There is No Case Against Julian Assange so Lies take the place of Evidence

James Fetzerblog

Paul Craig Roberts Julian Assange is not guilty of any crime. But Washington is going to convict him anyway. Documents are being fabricated to show that Assange met inside the Ecuadoran Embassy in London with Paul Manafort and some Russians. The logs of all visits to the Embassy have been released and show no such meetings. This latest fabrication was dumped on the public by the Guardian, formerly a leftwing newspaper but today a MI6 asset. Luke Harding who was leaked the fake documents is either extremely gullible or himself…
