Philip Geraldi, How Jewish Is the War Against Russia?

James Fetzerblog

PHILIP GIRALDI (JULY 12, 2022) Let’s be honest about who is promoting it Five years ago, I wrote an article entitled “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s wars.” It turned out to be the most popular piece that I have ever written and I was rewarded for it by immediately being fired by the so-called American Conservative magazine, where I had been a regular and highly popular contributor for fourteen years. I opened the article with a brief description of an encounter with a supporter whom I had met shortly before at an antiwar conference. The elderly gentleman asked…

Philip Giraldi, Trump Is Toast: Jewish Power will trump Trump

James Fetzerblog

PHILIP GIRALDI There is considerable irony in the fact that Donald Trump when president virtually crawled to do Israel’s bidding more than any of his predecessors. He moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, he accepted brutal Israeli settlement and control of the Palestinian West Bank, approved of the Israeli annexation of the Syrian Golan Heights, and ignored repeated Israeli war crimes using US provided weapons. Yet for all his gifts to Israel, which did not serve any actual US interest, he is currently being crucified by the…

Philip Geraldi, Putting an End to Zelensky’s Follies

James Fetzerblog

By Philip Giraldi One week ago, the Ukrainian government may have deliberately attacked neighbor Poland in an attempt to draw the NATO alliance into its war with Russia. The incident involved a missile that hit a grain processing site inside Poland and killed two farmers. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky immediately blamed Russia for the incident even though he surely must have known that the missile had been fired from Ukraine, meaning that he may have been using a so-called “false flag” to create a false narrative of what had occurred. He…

Jeffrey Sachs and Philip Giraldi: The Ukraine War Is Yet Another Neocon War

James Fetzerblog

Jeffrey Sachs and Philip Giraldi Edited by Kevin MacDonald Jeffrey Sachs in Tikkun (a liberal-left Jewish publication): The war in Ukraine is the culmination of a 30-year project of the American neoconservative movement. The Biden Administration is packed with the same neocons who championed the US wars of choice in Serbia (1999), Afghanistan (2001), Iraq (2003), Syria (2011), Libya (2011), and who did so much to provoke Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The neocon track record is one of unmitigated disaster, yet Biden has staffed his team with neocons. As a result, Biden is…

Philip Geraldi, Killing the First Amendment: How “the Law” fails to deliver Justice

James Fetzerblog

Philip Giraldi When one travels nearly anywhere in Europe where Medieval government centers, including courts, remain, one will frequently see the personification of a sometimes blindfolded woman representing Justice holding a sword in one hand and a scale or a scroll in the other. As soon as human beings came together to form governments, one of the first demands has always for justice that is accessible to all and that is readily understood. That is not to say that governments have not corrupted the mechanisms that were set up to…

Philip Geraldi, What to do about Israel?

James Fetzerblog

By Jonas E. Alexis Introduction JEA: Philip Giraldi has done it again. He has essentially fleshed out a reasonable solution to the Israel problem. We all know that Israel is a problem child and that if nothing is done to stop this diabolical entity from bleeding America to death in the Middle East and elsewhere, then America will continue to be buried beneath an avalanche of debt and death of precious souls. Two cheers for Giraldi. Philip Giraldi “The rich and powerful have inevitably gone too far and have finally received…

Philip Geraldi, A Killing in Iran: Who Gains from Yet Another Assassination?

James Fetzerblog

Philip Giraldi   It is not often that one can agree with the pronouncements made by former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan, but his tweeted comment on the killing of Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh suggesting that the incident “…was a criminal act & highly reckless. It risks lethal retaliation & a new round of regional conflict. Iranian leaders would be wise to wait for the return of responsible American leadership on the global stage & to resist the urge to respond against perceived culprits” was both restrained and reasonable. Or…

Philip Geraldi, Saudi Oil Attacks: Time to Back Off on the Threats

James Fetzerblog

Philip Geraldi Attacks on two Saudi Arabian oil facilities on Saturday reportedly reduced the production of Aramco, the state oil company, by one half. It was a devastating demonstration of just how vulnerable the Kingdom’s oil economy actually is. Initial reports suggested that the damage had been caused by explosive drones launched by the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who claimed responsibility, but there has been considerable skepticism regarding whether the drones available to the Houthi could actually have carried out the attack. Inevitably, the United States and the Saudis are…
