The Big Lie of 9/11

by
Yesterday -- September 11 -- the Los Angeles Times carried an op-ed entitled “A History of the ‘Big Lie,’ from Plato to TikTok.” The article stated, “If you look back at history, lying is as old as humans.” The author, Mark Kurlansky, points to several examples of lies, including lies told by the Soviets, the Nazis, and even Donald Trump. Unfortunately, however, Kurlansky failed to cite one of the biggest lies of our lifetime, the one President Bush, the Pentagon, the CIA, and other U.S. officials told immediately after the 9/11 attacks, when they claimed that the terrorists had struck because they hated America for its “freedom and values.” It was a lie, and the liars knew it was a lie. And it was a Big Lie, one that was later used to justify invading, occupying, and destroying two countries and killing hundreds of thousands of people in the process. How do we know that U.S. ...

Restore Our Republic

by
As predictable as thunder following lightning, former CIA director Robert Gates recently declared that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s increasing assertiveness demonstrate the need for the U.S. government to remain an ever-growing, more powerful national-security state. Gates’s declaration appeared in an op-ed in the March 3, 2022, issue of the Washington Post. He also pointed to Iran and North Korea as subsidiary threats to U.S. “national security.” Gates has it all wrong. The worst mistake the American people have ever made was permitting their federal government to be converted to a national-security state. That mistake not only contributed to the destruction of the rights and liberties of the American people: It also plunged our nation into an orgy of death and destruction in foreign countries as well as monetary and fiscal debauchery here at home. Today, Americans would be best off ridding our nation of its national-security state and restoring our founding governmental system of a limited-government republic. For the ...

9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq, Part 1

Part 1 | Part 2 Declaring that “veteran suicide is one of the greatest crises of our time,” Boston’s NPR news station, WBUR, reported that “since Sept. 11, 2001, just over 30,000 veterans have died by suicide — four times more than the number of U.S. military personnel who died in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.” The website military.com stated that suicides among active-duty personnel rose by 15 percent in 2020 and consisted of 580 service members. The common perception regarding these suicides is that U.S. military personnel suffer from PTSD — post-traumatic stress disorder — arising primarily from combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Actually, there is a better explanation, one that unfortunately many people are failing to grasp in the aftermath of the deadly and destructive debacles in Afghanistan and Iraq. Until U.S. soldiers, veterans, and the American people come to grips with that explanation, military personnel will continue to take their own lives. Ever since the Taliban victory in Afghanistan ...

Trump Got Played in Singapore, But That’s a Good Thing

by
Conservatives are a fascinating lot. Throughout the Cold War, they steadfastly maintained that the Cold War was necessary because communist tyrants were hell-bent on conquering the United States and subjugating the American people. That’s in fact why the U.S. national-security establishment intervened in the Korean War and the Vietnam War and sacrificed more than 100,000 U.S. soldiers — supposedly ...
