Is the top US brass getting tired of working for the IDF? Tonight’s radio guest*, Religious Studies professor Ira Chernus, just published an article entitled Blood or Treasure: Obama’s Crucial Choice in the Middle East. The article begins: “Writing about U.S. Middle East policy used to be a boring job. You’d start out with ‘The U.S. supports Israel’s stand on…’ and then just fill in the details. No longer. Many pundits claim to smell the winds of policy change blowing from the White House.” Why the change? Admitting that there is little hard information, just “a riot of rumors,” Chernus…

How Crippled is YOUR Epistemology? In 2008 Harvard professor Cass Sunstein “co-wrote a truly pernicious paper proposing that the U.S. Government employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-‘independent’ advocates to ‘cognitively infiltrate’ online groups and websites — as well as other activist groups — which advocate views that Sunstein deems ‘false conspiracy theories’ about the Government” (Greenwald). Sunstein’s main target: 9/11 “conspiracy theories.” Sunstein, who has not responded to my request for an interview, argues that by undermining 9/11 truth groups through cointelpro-style infiltration, or even banning “conspiracy theories” altogether, the government would be doing the “conspiracy theorists” a favor,…

“Eliminate the Middleman” proposal gains support on Capitol Hill On the heels of his proposal to strip U.S. citizenship from Americans who oppose Israel and Zionism, Sen. Joe Lieberman has introduced a new bill to re-introduce the draft. Unlike other conscription bills, however, Lieberman’s would draft Americans directly into the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) rather than  its proxy, the US Armed Forces. Lieberman’s bill, S-2211, states that in the event of an (Israeli) “national emergency,” the Prime Minister would authorize the IDF to begin directly drafting Americans who have registered with US Selective Service. At a press conference Thursday, Lieberman…

The good guy is dead, while the treasonous, cowardly scum live on. Left to right, Senator Paul Wellstone (D-MN), Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Senator Jack Reed (D-RI), Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), Senator Jon Corzine (D-NJ) and Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA).  * * * by Kevin Barrett, TruthJihad.comTuesday 5/4/2010 Scholar-activist Four Arrows, co-author of American Assassination: The Strange Death of Senator Paul Wellstone, today revealed for the first time a reported conversation in which U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) confirmed that the Wellstone plane crash was an assassination, not an accident. As Four Arrows recounted on…

by Kevin Barrett, truthjihad.com In his lecture “Is the War in Afghanistan Justified by 9/11,” David Ray Griffin quickly proves that the war is both illegal and unjustified by 9/11, regardless of whether or not 9/11 was an inside job. He then spends the majority of his lecture demonstrating that 9/11 was in fact an inside job. Why? Griffin explains that the dominant public perception of the war in Afghanistan, which excuses or overlooks that war’s illegality, depends on the Official Conspiracy Theory (OCT) of 9/11. President Obama knows this. As Jason Leopold wrote of Obama’s escalation speech: “The commander-in-chief…

Re: “The CIA Hit List”: Muslim Men to be Murdered as “Threats to the US” : Against the Killing of Anwar al-Aulaqi  by J. B. Gerald Bimillah ar-rahman ar-raheem, According to the article linked above, Muslim cleric Anwar al-Aulaqi has been quoted as saying: “I have come to the conclusion that jihad against America is a duty for me, as for every Muslim who can do it.” Just for having allegedly expressed such sentiments, al-Aulaqi, a US citizen, has been put on a CIA hit list. There is not a shred of evidence that he has ever committed a crime.…
