JFK’s Rejection of the Anti-Russia Animus

by
Illinois Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger is going ballistic over comments made by fellow congressman Rand Paul and Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson that supposedly suggest a support of Russia in the midst of the Russia-Ukraine war.  Never mind that neither Paul nor Tucker said any such thing. And never mind that the United States is ostensibly not a party to the war. And never mind that Americans have the fundamental right to support whoever they want in international affairs. Note: A reader has brought to my attention that Tucker made the following statement some three years ago: “Why do I care what is going on in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia?!” Carlson said. “And I’m serious. Why do I care? Why shouldn’t I root for Russia? Which I am.” Here is an article about that controversy: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/nov/26/tucker-carlson-rooting-for-russia-fox-news. I'll let Carlson speak for himself. Regardless, what matters is that when the Pentagon decrees an official enemy, it ...

Why Didn’t Trump Pardon Assange and Snowden?

by
In his waning days as president, Donald Trump saw fit to pardon four former Blackwater guards who had been convicted of killing 14 Iraqi civilians and injuring 17 others in an ambush in Baghdad. The guards were in Iraq as part of the U.S. government’s deadly and destructive invasion, war of aggression, and long-term occupation of a country whose government had never attacked the United States.  Yet, before he left office, Trump could not bring himself to issue pardons for Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, who were far more deserving of them than those Blackwater killers. What’s up with that?  When Trump was running for president, he made pointed critiques against the U.S. national-security establishment, especially its policy of permanently embroiling the United States in foreign wars. In the process of doing that, Trump was immediately perceived to be a threat to the Pentagon, the vast military-industrial complex ...

The Anti-Russia Animus

by
As we look retrospectively at the crisis in Ukraine, one thing becomes crystal clear: the Cold War never ended, at least not for the U.S. national-security establishment. After what most everyone believed was the end of the Cold War, the Pentagon and the CIA immediately went on the offensive by using NATO, an old Cold War dinosaur that should have gone out of existence, to absorb former Warsaw Pact countries, which enabled U.S. officials to station their nuclear missiles, military bases, weaponry, and tanks ever closer to Russia’s border.  Once the Pentagon and the CIA threatened to have NATO absorb Ukraine, there is no doubt that they knew that their threat would induce Russia to invade Ukraine and kill thousands of people in the process. Driven by their extreme anti-Russia animus that they have never lost, they were obviously willing to sacrifice an untold number of lives for the sake of Ukraine’s entry into NATO.  How ...

JFK’s Rejection of the Pentagon’s and CIA’s Anti-Russia Animus

by
One of the things that the mainstream media has always ignored was President Kennedy’s rejection of the extreme anti-Russia animus that characterized the Pentagon and the CIA during the Cold War. In fact, for a long period of time, the media continued maintaining the official lie that President Lyndon Johnson had simply continued Kennedy’s policies after his assassination.

The U.S. National Security State’s Legacy of Death and Destruction

by
Unfortunately, the massive death and destruction that the U.S. national-security establishment has produced in Ukraine with its political gamesmanship involving NATO and Russia is not the first time that its interventionism has produced such a horrific result. In fact, the entire legacy of the U.S. national-security state form of government, which was brought into existence after ...
