Knowing her delusional self, she’ll just take all that booing and assume she should run again.
Now that she’s burned her bridges with the Democrats she seems to be going over to the Republicans.
By Peter Van Buren, The American Conservative I know it’s almost October, but I’m not done with 9/11. I know we had the 20th anniversary, promised for a day to never forget whatever, and then an old-looking Bruce Springsteen rose to sing about everyone dying around him. (Read […]

By John Lloyd Quillette In his 2011 reflection on intervention, Rory Stewart offers a composite picture of a typical foreign adviser to Afghanistan before the Taliban swept back into Kabul’s Arg Palace: “James” is young, highly credentialed academically in the UK and the US, hard working, optimistic, with […]
She should have voted no and then released a statement on how Nancy tried to force her under duress to vote present. Imagine that.
What this arrangement indicates is that the overlords of the empire understand they are losing international as well as domestic legitimacy, and are trying to outsource more imperial functions to junior partners, satellites, and proxies. The empire’s second zone is now being pushed to assume a greater role […]
Ryan Grim, Robby Soave, and managing editor of Shadowproof, Kevin Gosztola, react to reporting that the CIA developed plans to assassinate Julian Assange for his role in the Vault 7 leaks.
These Deep State sectors are the ones we will be fighting when the crackup begins. Krystal and Saagar cover the new reports showing how the CIA plotted to kidnap and murder Julian Assange, and the explain how Assange is still being targeted to this day
The only historical utility of this one is to further polarization which will hopefully lead to the eventual crackup. Krystal and Saagar try to make sense of AOC’s theatrics in congress after she was seen crying following her flip from no to present on a vote to fund […]
Only nine people in the entire Congress, with 535 members, are not fully in thrall to Israel. By Darragh Roche Newsweek The House of Representatives approved funding for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system on Thursday, following a fraught vote that exposed divisions among Democrats. Just nine members […]

This is interesting. If you take out the conservative Protestant aspect of this piece, it could be something a Maoist/Third Worldist would write. Proto-Protestantism Recently I was talking with my son and he told me about some experiences he had on a Christian chat forum that he visits […]

Sean Gabb (22nd September 2021) I never buy newspapers, and I seldom look at them. But I did make a point of observing the collective blast of hot air from the political and media establishments when news was released of our latest entanglement with the Americans. Since we […]
Both Tulsi and Andrew Yang seem to have expired their utility at this point. Tulsi did a good deed by attacking Kamala and Mayor Peter in the primaries, and Yang did a good deed by bringing ideas like UBI, drug legalization, and automation into the mainstream. But they’re […]
Apparently, Joe is trying to be a standup comedian.
Pence reinterprets Trump to appease the neo-conservative critics and to make Trump’s ad hoc policies appear more rational. But the real purpose is to make himself appear more acceptable to the electorate. Former Vice President Mike Pence discusses the foreign policy differences between the Trump and Biden administrations […]
Well, that didn’t last long. AOC’s taking a very mild stand against Israel lasted less than a week. On this episode of SYSTEM UPDATE: The Democratic Congresswoman from New York previously condemned former Tulsi Gabbard’s “present” vote as an abdication of the duties of political leadership, arguing that […]
Reuters WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The leader of the U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee introduced legislation on Wednesday to provide $1 billion to Israel to replenish its “Iron Dome” missile-defense system, a day after the funding was removed from a broader spending bill. Some of the most liberal House Democrats had objected to the provision and said they would […]
Policy analyst Stephen Semler makes the case that House progressives should vote ‘no’ on the National Defense Authorization Act as it stands.
Team Rising discusses new plans from both the U.S. and China to combat climate change.
So Steve Bannon is a closet Stirnerite? The line that Alexander Reid Ross takes in the interview is what I call the “new popular front” position, which amounts to support for liberal-capitalist regimes against the threat of “fascism.” It’s something of an inversion of the alt-right “globalism vs. […]
The present time really does have so much in common with the mid to late 70s. When Nixon (the Trump of his era, with some differences) was run out of office, he was replaced by a Rockefeller Republican regime (literally, as Nelson Rockefeller was Ford’s vice-president). Then Ford […]
Probably the main reason that I frequently butt heads with the left-anarchists is that I do not necessarily believe that the universalization of “wokeism” is the priority issue or even something that needs to happen at all. I tend to view “woke anarchism” the same way I might […]
This is a very good analysis. She was always a bit weak on the drone wars.
A Maoist/Third Worldist critique of the American “left.” By Jason Unruhe and SMG John Introduction The big topic the last few weeks has been this reactionary notion of “American socialist patriotism”. The White middle-class talking heads of social media have been attempting to repackage American exceptionalism for the […]
Totally disagree with Tulsi on this. The way to end the Takfiri insurgencies is to stop backing regimes that are fostering them like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, etc, and to stop opposing or weakening regimes and/or non-state actors that are opposing them like Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, […]
This essay by an an-com ideologue illustrates why the Western Left is so weak on the question of imperialism. Tankies are only anti-imperialist when it advances tankieism, and the rest of the left is only interested in anti-imperialism when it advances Western-style liberalism or “cultural progressivism” in the […]
Dr. Trita Parsi reacts to the removal of funding for Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ from the bill set to fund the government through December 3.
Is she finally knocking off the bullshit and getting to the point? Middle East Monitor Democrat representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez last week presented an amendment to the US defence budget bill. If agreed, the amendment will block the transfer of $735 million worth of Boeing Joint Direct Attack Munitions […]
“There is nothing Bin Laden could have hoped for more than the American invasion and occupation of Iraq, [which is] Osama Bin Laden’s gift from America.” – Michael Scheuer, former senior intelligence analyst in charge of tracking Osama Bin Laden, in his 2004 book “Imperial Hubris.”
When Tulsi was running for Prez, I thought she was the best of any of the major party candidates on foreign policy, although she was still too hawkish for my tastes, as this segment indicates. My second favorite candidate was Marianne Williamson, because I thought she was 2nd […]
Well over 30 years ago, I came to the view that the only way to stop massacres carried out by the US or by proxies armed, funded, or trained by the US, would be to abolish the US government itself. And that seems to be becoming more of […]

Veteran and Senate candidate, Lucas Kunce, joins Ryan Grim and Alyssa Farah to weigh in on the Pentagon’s announcement that an airstrike in Kabul was a “tragic mistake.”
By Caitlin Johnstone The Pentagon has finally admitted to the long-obvious fact that it killed ten Afghan civilians, including seven children, in an airstrike in Kabul last month.
