Mike Pompeo saying Iran is “spreading death and destruction around the world” is as big a lie as an economist saying the Federal Reserve has been “effective in managing the money supply and preventing economic crises.”

The only people happy today over the reimposition of sanctions are the House of Saud, Israeli government and members of both the Israel and Saudi lobbies in Washington DC.

We’re hitting peak-Neo-Conservatism.

CNN yesterday had a Democrat Intelligence Committee member discuss the military strengths of Russia Vs The United States and said the US could beat Russia in an Armed Confrontation.

Fox News took time today to discuss Communist Venezuela arresting opposition party leaders and asked “Could Russia use this to their advantage in the region?”

Venezuela becoming a failed communist state, in need of a rightist military coup, and the idea of nuclear war between two superpowers seems absent from both networks.

We charge that a cabal of polemicists and public officials seek to ensnare our country in a series of wars that are not in America’s interests. We charge them with colluding with Israel to ignite those wars and destroy the Oslo Accords. We charge them with deliberately damaging U.S. relations with every state in the Arab world that defies Israel or supports the Palestinian people’s right to a homeland of their own. We charge that they have alienated friends and allies all over the Islamic and Western world through their arrogance, hubris, and bellicosity.

Western Enlightenment-liberal-secularist ideology, or even a bizarre mixture of both, augmented with an Israel First foreign policy. As Dr. Saleam noted, opposition to the incursions of ‘Islamism’ in Western nations, that is to say, the Wahhabism promoted by the USA’s Saudi ally, and rejected by the supposed rogue states, Iran and Syria, should be differentiated from foreign policy entanglements in support of Israel, and the century of Western-imposed chaos that has caused the migrant crisis.

Neo-conservatives have no sense of irony.

Bill Kristol finds Trump's America First 'vulgar' and 'embarrassing'

Bill Kristol finds Trump’s America First ‘vulgar’ and ’embarrassing’

I’ve said before that neo-conservatives are warmongers. Bill Kristol is a prominent neo-conservative. From Wikipedia: “William ‘Bill’ Kristol (born December 23, 1952) is an American conservative political analyst and commentator. He is the founder and editor at large of the political magazine The Weekly Standard and a political commentator on several networks.” Bill Kristol has been hostile to…

L. A. Times columnist: There'll be a military coup against President Trump

L. A. Times columnist: There’ll be a military coup against President Trump

Donald Trump hasn’t even been elected President, but he’s already making heads explode. Not just liberal heads, but also those of so-called conservatives. The latest case of an exploding head is someone named Jamie Kirchick, 33, described as a journalist, writer, and a fellow with the Foreign Policy Initiative — a neo-con think tank. In his op/ed for The Los Angeles Times yesterday (July 19), “If…

SBS recently ran a Dateline episode about prescription drug addiction in the US. They’ve done a couple of these recently. It was something of a surprise that the normally progressive station would copy something out of Murdoch’s play book like that. I guess those rumours of cuts have had their intended effect.

When looking through references for the post about meth the other day, I noticed…
