Trump’s Latest Regime Change Target

by | Jan 26, 2026 |

What does the Federal Reserve have in common with Venezuela and Greenland? It has been targeted by President Trump for regime change. The Justice Department recently launched a criminal investigation into whether Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell lied to Congress about the costs of renovating the Federal Reserve’s offices. Many believe this investigation was launched in order to support President Trump’s effort to replace Powell, who he nominated to be Fed chairman in 2017, with a Fed...

Beware the Precedents You Set

Beware the Precedents You Set

by | Jan 26, 2026 |

For three decades, Washington insisted that internal destabilization was not an act of war when applied abroad. It called it “civil society.” It is now discovering that precedents don’t ask permission to come home — and that shock is already visible on Minnesota’s streets. This is not about Russia orchestrating unrest in the United States. It isn’t. There’s no evidence for that, and pretending otherwise is a distraction. The uncomfortable truth is simpler: the United States is running into the...

Some Tales from the Darkside

The recent demonstrations in Iran that may have killed more than 5,000 civilians and security officers changed from largely peaceful to violent when a number of “agitators” got involved and sought to turn the gatherings focused on the poor economy into a drive to bring about regime change. It has been suggested that the sometimes-armed outsiders who stirred the pot were organized and trained by foreign intelligence services, most specifically the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the...

Thomas Massie (R-KY), along with cosponsors Reps. Scott Perry (R-PA) and Chip Roy (R-TX).

What ever happened to the Epstein scandal? Gone. Out of sight. Hey presto, vanished by the wave of a magic wand. It seems that Master Illusionist Donald Trump has dodged this lethal bullet – at least for the time being. Trump’s Invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping its president Maduro, a former bus driver, removed Epstein from the news. Now Trump and his henchmen are beating the drums over his claim to world greatness launched at Davos, Switzerland. This rather ugly alpine resort – which is...

The American Police State Has Arrived

The American Police State Has Arrived

by | Jan 22, 2026 |

In recent days, the government in America has not only failed to protect the freedom of speech, it has attacked it. Like authoritarians throughout history, it has sought to silence the speech it hates and fears. But most authoritarians did not have a Constitution that was written as an intentional obstacle to them. Last week, Raquel Pacheco posted a Tweet/X calling Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner a hypocrite for supporting the free speech of those who want Israel to take over Gaza, but...

Nullify the Police State: The People’s Veto to Rein in a Lawless Government

Nullify the Police State: The People’s Veto to Rein in a Lawless Government

by | Jan 21, 2026 |

We are living through a period of open lawlessness at the highest levels of government. Executive orders are issued to sidestep Congress. Federal law enforcement is deployed as a tool of retaliation. Protest is criminalized. Surveillance expands. Due process becomes optional. Courts are packed, ignored, or bypassed. Entire communities are terrorized under the guise of “law and order.” None of this is accidental. And none of it is temporary. At a time when...

Deciphering Trump’s ‘Externalised Internal Thinking’ on Iran

Deciphering Trump’s ‘Externalised Internal Thinking’ on Iran

by | Jan 20, 2026 |

To understand the background to events in Iran today, we need to retrace what I quoted US commentator & Trump biographer Michael Wolff saying last July about Trump’s thinking in connection with the impending attacks on Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan enrichment facilities: I have been making lots of calls – so I think I have a sense of the arc that got Trump to where we are [with the strikes on Iran]. Calls are one of the main ways I track what he is thinking (I use the word ‘thinking’...

As waves of deadly demonstrations and counter-demonstrations hit Iran, MintPress examines the CIA-backed NGOs helping to stir the outrage and foment more violence. One of these groups is Human Rights Activists In Iran, frequently referred to as HRA or HRAI in the media. The group, and its media arm, the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) have become the go-to group of experts for Western media, and are the source of many of the most inflammatory claims and shockingly high casualty...

President Trump: Peace is Popular

by | Jan 19, 2026 |

Over the weekend, as a US carrier strike group made its way toward Iran, President Trump told Politico, “It’s time to look for new leadership in Iran.” This pro “regime change” statement came just days after the US and Israel-led covert operation to overthrow the Iranian government was finally defeated by Iranian authorities. The US President is making it clear he is not giving up on “regime change” for Iran. Late last week the world held its breath expecting a US missile strike on Iran after...

The Changing Face of Regime Change

Originally published exclusively for RPI Subscribers. The most disturbing lesson from the 2014 Maidan Revolution in Ukraine that has been well-learned by the various intelligence agencies in this business is that the application of extreme violence - especially aimed at law enforcement, other state authorities, and civilians - provides an effective template upon which to further the regime change narrative. Everything can be blamed on "the regime" and thus serve the purpose of the operation.We...

Bloomberg described that US allies and regional partners have already been briefed on the concept as part of wider diplomatic efforts to influence and direct Gaza's future after the Israel-Hamas conflict.

The electricity and heat supply in Ukraine has stopped in large parts of the country. Kiev had already been on scheduled blackouts where groups of consumers received for example four hours of electricity to then be cutoff for eight hours. That scheduling has ended. The blackout has become permanent. Over several weeks Russian attacks had isolated the electricity supply in Kiev from other parts of the country. It then attacked generating stations within the city. There is now less than 10%...

Donald Trump, A Responsibility to Protect President

Donald Trump, A Responsibility to Protect President

by | Jan 16, 2026 |

Publicly denouncing war and liberals was a regular part of Donald Trump’s communication in his 2024 presidential campaign. Yet, as president, Trump has been relying on the responsibility to protect idea associated with liberals he would normally ridicule as a basis for the US engaging in wars abroad. In October of 2016, the month before Donald Trump won the race to succeed Barack Obama as president, David Stockman wrote about an example of the terrible damage the US following a responsibility...

Militant Zionist Group Ceasing Operations In New York Following Settlement with Attorney General

By virtue of its standing as the global center of the Jewish diaspora, New York City emerged as the main battleground in the United States for the fight between American Zionists and their opponents amid the deterioration of public support for Israel accelerated by its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. While critics of the State of Israel participating in widespread protests across the city have been branded as Jihadists by their opponents for protesting against the slaughter of innocent...

In a scene in Robert Bolt’s famous play “A Man for All Seasons,” about the treason trial of St. Thomas More, More argues with the attorney general of Wales about the law. The attorney general says he’d cut down all the laws in England to get to the Devil. More reminds him that the laws were written to protect us from those who’d cut them down, because, More asks, when the Devil turns round and seeks you, where would you hide, the laws having been flattened? Answer: nowhere. The recent...
