What War with Iran Might Look Like

Article by Philip Giraldi. We gotta get rid of those neocons. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- Back in September 2007 I wrote an article for Antiwar.com called “What World War III May Look Like.” The article, which presumed that an incident involving U.S. troops on the border between Iraq and Iran could […]

The Cost of Israel to Americans

From Veterans Today. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— Our uniquely massive support for Israel has cost trillions of dollars and multitudes of lives. It has diminished our moral standing in the world, lessened our domestic freedoms, and exposed us to unnecessary and growing peril. The majority of Americans – as well as our diplomatic and military experts – […]

Samir Khan: Proud to be an American traitor

From CNN. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— Samir Khan was proud to be a traitor. In a way, he was among the most dangerous of al Qaeda terrorists. By turning his back on the country he grew up in, he gained credibility and coupled that with his intimate knowledge of Western culture […]

Losing the Great Game in Afghanistan

Article by Devika Patel. ——————————————————————————————————————————————— Ten years ago, I watched the Twin Towers fall. A San Francisco Examiner headline the next day summed up my feelings fairly well: “Bastards!” Of course we had to fight back. I thought there’d be a bit of a scuffle, much like the […]

A Decade After 9/11: We Are What We Loathe

Article by Chris Hedges. —————————————————————————————————————————————— I arrived in Times Square around 9:30 on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. A large crowd was transfixed by the huge Jumbotron screens. Billows of smoke could be seen on the screens above us, pouring out of the two World Trade towers. […]

Robert Gates Says Israel Is an Ungrateful Ally

Article by Jeffrey Goldberg. ——————————————————————————————————————————————- It was an extraordinary scene: President Barack Obama, sitting impassively in the Oval Office in May as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lectured him, at considerable length and at times condescendingly, on Jewish history, Arab perfidy and the existential challenges facing his country. […]

Interview with Arundhati Roy

From the New Internationalist. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— Arundhati Roy is probably the most ‘do something’ public intellectual of our time. In her interview with New Internationalist she offers her take on market-friendly democracy, people power and the wealth that is fed by people’s lives. Your writings have grappled with ruthless state […]

The Crazy World of Limousine Leftists

The adventures of Jane Fonda. Actually, I’ve always thought the right-wing is too hard on Hanoi Jane. Whatever her faults, she was right about Nixon’s war crimes in Indochina. ————————————————————————————————————————————————- One day, at the height of her fame in the mid-Seventies, Jane Fonda turned up on the doorstep […]

Apocalypse Now?

Article by Justin Raimondo. ——————————————————————————————————————————————— The Republican congressional leadership was in a panic: their covering for the Obama administration’s unconstitutional and unnecessary war in Libya was rapidly unraveling as a resolution by Rep. Dennis Kucinich calling for an end to it gained momentum – among Republicans. Kucinich’s bill […]

Question Time? Indeed, It Is!

Posted at MRDA’s Inferno. —————————————————————————————————— Shame that some folk failed to get the memo… Watching Question Time on Thursday, I hadta roll my eyes at the moralistic endorsements of UN military intervention in Libya; Baroness Warsi‘s She-Ra fantasies of saving the poor Libyans from “the dictator killing his […]

Beware Human Rights Imperialism

It’s somewhat surprising to find an article like this in a relatively mainstream publication like the Guardian. Yet it does not require that much thought to realise that people in different countries may have different views about what policies would be most appropriate for achieving economic growth or […]

Forty Years in the Wilderness?

For some years  now, I have advocated for the anarchist movement in North America a change in direction from the course it has followed since the 1960s. Essentially, the general flavor of the anarchist milieu is one that expresses the same set of primary values as Marxists, social […]

Organizing the Urban Lumpenproletariat

For some time now, I have argued for an alliance of left-wing anarchism and right-wing populism against the common enemies of imperialism and Big Brother statism. I have argued that the strategic application of such an alliance would be a pan-secessionist movement rooted in the traditions of the […]

You Musn’t Forget S-L-A-V-E-R-Y!!!!!!

In contemporary American political discourse, we often hear talk of “the legacy of slavery,” primarily in discussions of racial issues. To be sure, the “legacy of slavery” has had a damaging impact on American race relations (it wasn’t so wonderful for the actual slaves, either). Many of the […]

Beyond Conservatism and Leftism

What does it mean that the Vice-Presidential candidate for the ostensibly “conservative” party is a female from a working class background who has the flag of a foreign state associated with a domestic ethnic minority hanging in her governor’s office? What does it mean that the Presidential candidate […]

For a Revolutionary Right That Out-left’s the Left

What does it mean when the Right is becoming more revolutionary minded than the Left? Nowadays, there are “left-conservatives”, “left-libertarians”, “left-secessionists”, “conservative revolutionaries”, “left-nationalists”, “national-syndicalists”, “national-anarchists”, “national-bolsheviks”, “national-maoists”, “left-populists”, “left-decentralists”, “national-communists” and lots of other labels that defy the left/right stereotype. What does is mean that the official […]

On Being the Leader of Anarcho-Fascism in America

Saith the Lefto-Totalitarian aspiring Stasi at Libcom.org: I’m particularly bothered by these so-called “anarcho”-nationalists that are trying to take advantage of the increase in interest in anarchism. The leaders of this fake “anarchism” are Keith Preston (USA), Troy Southgate (UK), Richard Hunt (UK), Peter Topfer (Germany), Hans Cany […]

Why Pan-Secessionism?

Most Americans agree that the political system in the United States is incompetent, corrupt and not likely to be reformed in any meaningful way. More and more Americans are getting fed up with the Tweedle Dee vs. Tweedle Dum so-called “electoral process”. The problem is that while Americans […]

Lessons of the Ron Paul Campaign?

It would appear that Ron Paul’s heroic but quixotic presidential campaign is all but finished. That said, what lessons can be drawn from the Ron Paul experience? To some degree, it would appear that those of us advocating a “third way” beyond left and right have been on […]

Do I Believe Jews Control the World?

Found this amusing post on the Revolution International blog: Very strange website. I note you link to Keith Preston (thinks Jews control the world), Peter Topfer (attended Teran holocaust denial conference), the National Bolshevik Party (neo-Nazi and old KGB), Black nationalists who are anti-Semitic (and anti-White), and Folk […]
