Foreign Policy Hawks Not Ready to Give up Turf

Thursday December 15, 2016

If President Trump is serious about a foreign policy that does not seek to destabilize and overthrow governments overseas, he is going to have to deal with the neocons who have polluted Washington with their bad ideas for decades. If he thinks they will just fade away, he's wrong. They are right now maneuvering and manipulating a way into his administration. Will he resist? Rejecting John Bolton would be a good start. I am on RT America discussing this issue as the last few weeks of President Obama's disastrous Syria policy wind down...

State Department to Hungary: 'Let NGOs Decide Terrorism Cases'

Wednesday December 7, 2016

On September 16th, Syrian-born Ahmed Hamed crossed illegally into Hungary as he sought a new residence in the European Union. Hungary had by then already experienced several waves of migrants, many fleeing the chaos produced by US regime change policy in Syria, and the center-right government of Viktor Orban had made the decision to protect Hungarian borders. There were already numerous press reports that among the migrants were an unknown number of terrorists intent on attacking perhaps Hungary and the rest of Europe, so Hungarian caution was hardly an imprudent approach. In all, half a million people illegally entered Hungary earlier this year.

They Attack Us for Telling The Truth. Let's Fight Back

Tuesday November 29, 2016

The mainstream media continues to lose audience, revenue, and most importantly credibility. Why is that? Much of it is due to the fact that thanks to the Internet, independent organizations can rise up to challenge the monopoly on ideas that they once enforced. Now, the Washington Post, New York Times, CNN, etc. can be taken to task when they falsely report and distort the news. When they wear their biases so clearly on their sleeve that they resemble Pravda of old.

The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity is one such organization. Founded by Ron Paul upon his retirement from Congress, the Institute has grown enormously in stature while retaining its very modest size and budget. We have grown so much in influence, in fact, that just last week when the Washington Post publicized the infamous "blacklist" of organizations it views as a threat to its prominence, the Ron Paul Institute was included among such major alternative outlets as the Drudge Report, Zero Hedge, Counterpunch, and others. That's pretty good company to be in!

Breaking: Trump, Putin Speak on Telephone; Vow to Improve Relations

Monday November 14, 2016

After a rancorous presidential campaign in which the Hillary Clinton team actually accused President-elect Donald Trump of being a Russian agent, a new tone is being set by the next US president. Russian president Vladimir Putin spoke by telephone this afternoon with the incoming Republican and both men agreed to work toward "constructive cooperation" between the US and Russia. According to the Kremlin website, the two agreed to "return to pragmatic, mutually beneficial cooperation, which would address the interests of both countries as well as stability and safety the world over."

Oops They Did it Again: US 'Misdirected' Drone Strike on Somalia Kills 22 Civilians, Soldiers

Thursday September 29, 2016

In what the US is calling a "misdirected" airstrike, some 22 Somali citizens and soldiers were killed by a US missile fired from a drone intended to take out al-Qaeda affiliated al-Shabab militia members. According to the BBC, the airstrike may have been a way for one region in Somalia to settle scores with another courtesy of US military might: "Officials in the semi-autonomous region of Galmudug accused neighboring Puntland of misleading the US into believing they had targeted extremists."

In Kerry's Own Words: Syria Prohibited from Attacking al-Qaeda

Thursday September 22, 2016

No wonder the United States insisted that its Syria ceasefire deal with Russia remain secret! It turns out that one of the US demands was that the Syrian air force must be prohibited from attacking al-Nusra Front (al-Qaeda in Syria). Crazy conspiracy theory? Listen to John Kerry's own words at the UN yesterday...

Breaking: US Military Strikes Syrian Forces, Allowing ISIS to Advance

Saturday September 17, 2016

The Associated Press is reporting that the US military has struck Syrian government positions in the eastern province of Deir el-Zour today, as the Syrian military was involved in a battle with ISIS forces.

It would be the first time such an attack produced a battlefield advantage to ISIS.

Breaking: Did Washington Just Declare a 'No Fly' Zone in Syria?

Monday August 22, 2016

Reading between the lines in today's Pentagon press briefing, a bombshell US policy shift is becoming more apparent: Syrian forces and their Russian partners are being told that conducting military operations in some parts of Syrian airspace opens them up to being shot down by the US military.

Pentagon Spokesman Peter Cook was asked numerous times in numerous ways whether this amounts to a US "no fly zone" over parts of Syria. His first response was vague but threatening:
We will use our air power as needed to protect coalition forces and our partnered operations.
The policy shift was so apparent that, one-by-one, the press corps asked for clarification.
