Israel’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Points Out the Obvious, While Missing the Point

Writing over at Foreign Policy, Israel’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Danny Ayalon, points out that the UN Human Rights Council is absurd because so many of the member nations are human rights abusers. Point taken. One of the major problems that has dogged the legitimacy of almost every council and agency within the UN is […]

The End of Liberalism

The notion that the U.S. has a liberal media, a liberal political party or a liberal anything, is laughable in the extreme. That the GOP and the wingnuts can prance around claiming the Democrats are socialists and weak on national security, or that the mainstream media is anything other than a corporate echo chamber for […]

A War Crime in Afghanistan

You’ve all read/seen/heard about this by now- yesterday a US soldier allegedly murdered 16 Afghan civilians, most of whom were apparently women and children. We don’t know motive or all the specifics, but the headline in the HuffPo is telling: “US Officials Seek to Contain Damage.” It seems that that is all we do these […]

Obama at AIPAC- For Once He Doesn’t Cave to Pressure

President Obama made the yearly pilgrimage to the AIPAC conference today. This is an event where it is actually considered acceptable for the President of the United States and members of Congress to swear fealty to a smaller, belligerent client state/foreign power. Despite almost non-stop pressure from the Israel Lobby, the Israeli government and political […]

NBC Continues to Push Pentagon’s Military Propaganda

Glenn Greenwald has been tirelessly cover the mainstream corporate media’s perpetual fear-mongering with respect to war with Iran. At a time when few people consistently hold the media elites accountable, Greenwald is one of the few that simply won’t let go of this- he is like a dog with a bone and we are much […]

The Israeli PM’s Real Goal: Regime Change in Washington

It’s no secret Israeli PM Netanyahu is using his extensive reach and political power to help bolster the Republicans in an effort to ensure that Barack Obama is portrayed as an anti-Israel, terrorist-supporting waif. Never mind that Obama has done more for Israel on almost every front than any other President in history. Bibi has […]

OT: Social Media Advocacy Does Work, Just Ask the Susan G. Komen Foundation

Every once in a while I get cynical and depressed and think Twitter, Blogging etc. serve as little more than a pointless exercise- an echo chamber for people who already agree (or not) about certain things. Sometimes it seems that no matter what one does or how loud one yells, so long as the monied […]

Israel Lobby Tries to Silence All Critics- And Seems to Be Succeeding

If you read nothing else this week, read this post by Glenn Greenwald that details the Lobby’s efforts to go after the Center for American Progress and Media Matters for daring blog about Israel in a way that is not Israel-Lobby Approved, ie. objective reporting/commentary about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the side of all involved. […]

Israel Lobby Shill and Owner of the Atlanta Jewish Times Suggests Mossad Should Assassinate Obama

Oh, but now that there has been some minor blowback in the liberal blogosphere (certainly not the American MSM!), he certainly regrets it. Sort of. The offending article is not available online but you can see it here (thank God for the cloud. Heh). Here’s the fun bit: Three, give the go-ahead for U.S.-based Mossad […]

South Sudan Erupts in Genocidal Violence While the World Looks the Other Way

I guess this is Rwanda Part 2. Sudan has learned that the West will largely do nothing in the face of genocide unless a) there are vast oil reserves for the taking (there are vast oil and mineral reserves but our banker, China, has claim to a large portion of them), b) We have an […]

Israel Caught Red-Handed in False Flag Operation- MSM Largely Ignores It

This is really unbelievable. This is just an excerpt, but please go read the whole article over at Foreign Policy:: Buried deep in the archives of America’s intelligence services are a series of memos, written during the last years of President George W. Bush’s administration, that describe how Israeli Mossad officers recruited operatives belonging to […]

The NYT Has a Hilarious New Post Up From the Public Editor Asking if the NYT Should Report the Truth and Correct Lies

This article from Public Editor Arthur Brisbane is the gift that keeps on giving. That he (or apparently the Times) don’t see that it demonstrates that the NYT (and their other friends in the MSM who just haven’t had the balls to write this stuff down and post it for all to see) has officially […]

Marines Urinate on Taliban They May Have Just Killed

Gee, why do these Afghans, Iraqis, etc. dislike us so much? Could it be our endless occupation of their countries? How about our rendition and torture of mostly innocent people who apparently have no right to ever be seen again? Or our covert wars and targeted assassination programs? Or how about the fact that we […]

Last Straw: Israel is No Ally, We Must Cut All Aid to Israel

I have never before supported cutting ALL aid to Israel. However, I do now. Israel is no ally of the U.S. Rather, it is a petulant, spoiled client state that seems to delight in treating it’s superpower benefactor like little more than a useful idiot that screams “how high” when Israeli leaders scream “jump.” The […]

It’s Official: Entire World Sick of United States Protectionism Towards Israel

A hearty congratulations to the Obama administration is in order- the administration which raised hopes around the world that it would deal with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a more even-handed manner has managed to not only help cause one of the worst Israeli-Palestinian rifts in decades but they have actually managed to piss off pretty […]

We’re All Israelis Now

Remember when Israeli PM Netanyahu said the September 11, 2001 terror attacks were good for Israel? Well, here you go. The culture of endless war, curtailed civil liberties, anti-Muslim bigotry, scapegoating and fear-mongering is now so firmly entrenched in our American consciousness that we no longer question anything so long as someone shouts “terrorist” or […]

Mainstream Hate: The Reaction to the Television Show ‘All-American Muslim’

The Learning Channel’s (TLC) television show ‘All American Muslim’ is long overdue and props to them for daring to present a reality show about *gasp* actual, real, live Muslims! To think that this should even be controversial in a democracy which prides itself on being a Light Unto Nations in the area of freedom of […]

Promoting War with Iran: America’s Jaw-Dropping Hypocrisy

This is all about Israel, pure and simple. Iran poses no existential threat to the United States, nor to Israel, irrespective of the hyperbolic rhetoric of President Ahmadinejad. Iran doesn’t have nukes. It’s apparently no where near acquiring them, hyped up, politicized, factually-incoherent IEAE Report notwithstanding. Israel and the US have been saying Iran is […]

Tell the WaPo to Stop Covering for Their Bigoted, Hateful Likud Blogger

Hi everyone, I’m back. Each time I go into the hospital I come out to even more outrageous shenanigans on the part of not only the Israeli government, but their proxies here in the U.S. and even the Obama administration. Jennifer Rubin works for the Washington Post for one reason- so she can amplify the […]

Stacy is in Hospital

Hi, this is Micah. Stacy wanted me to put up a note to let people know she isn’t ignoring the blog, but rather is not available to post for the time being. Since I don’t have administrator privileges I am using her account. As soon as she is able she’ll resume blogging.
