The United States has “hijacked” the anti-government protests in Iraq to destabilize the country for defying Washington’s demands, an American scholar says. “The United States occupying Iraq was one of the greatest war crimes of the past century and the occupiers are now calling for immediate new elections,” said Kevin Barrett, an author, journalist and radio host with a Ph.D. in Islamic and Arabic Studies. “When the occupier says it’s time for the current government to step down on the basis of these protests, that’s a sign that the protest has been hijacked and weaponized by the occupation,” Barrett told…

Is a Hidden Hand Destabilizing Iraq?
CIA Mockingbird Asset NYT Pushes Color Revolution Coup Attempt in Iraq By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor, for Crescent International I wrote this article two weeks ago. Since then, it has become abundantly clear that its thesis is correct. -KB In early October, violent protests broke out in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities. Some of them degenerated into all-out riots. Eight members of the security forces and almost 100 civilians were killed, and more than 5,000 wounded. At the time of this writing (October 21), the situation is beginning to flare up again as the Arba‘in pilgrimage winds down. The…
FULL ARTICLEThe Legal Lynching of a Truth-Seeker: Jim Fetzer’s Stalinist-Style Show Trial
By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor Tuesday was the final day of Jim Fetzer’ defense against Lenny Pozner’s libel lawsuit. I attended and wrote up a “just the facts” report that evening. At almost the same moment I published my report, the jury came back with a verdict awarding more than half a million dollars to Lenny “Jim Fetzer gave me PTSD” Pozner. Now it’s time for an opinion piece. And as much as I sympathize with Mr. Pozner, assuming his account is accurate, my opinion is that Jim Fetzer got a raw deal…and that the reverberations of this case…
FULL ARTICLETreasury Dept. Sanctions Diva Sigal Mandelker, Exposed as Israeli Mole, Resigns in Disgrace
By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor When the FBI called me up to request an in-person interview—and to warn me I would be arrested if I attended a scholarly conference in Beirut—I told them the person they should be investigating was Sigal Mandelker, the suspected Israeli agent running the US Treasury Department’s sanctions program. Israeli-born dual citizen Mandelker was using her perch at Treasury to persecute loyal, patriotic Americans and deprive them of their rights of free speech and free association. Specifically, she had engineered a witch hunt against Iran-based NGO New Horizon, leading to that organization being spuriously designated…
FULL ARTICLELindsey Graham: Trump’s Sexually-Blackmailed Israeli Handler?
Press TV interview with Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor Lindsey Graham sure acts like a sexually blackmailed Israeli agent. To understand this we need to unpack the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Ghislaine (whose name means “filth” in Arabic) Maxwell, daughter of Mossad superspy Robert Maxwell, was Epstein’s Mossad handler…or one of them. Ehud Barak was another. Epstein’s job was to pimp young girls to powerful people and get compromising photos and videos, which Israel uses to control the United States. Despite Epstein’s “suicide” there are still plenty of Epstein-types out there, many pushing underage males as well as females. Lindsey Graham…
FULL ARTICLEDavid Icke: Who Did 9/11 and Why? Part One of a Two-Part Interview
Listen HERE David Icke’s new book The Trigger really triggers some people…like The Washington Post‘s passive-aggressive book reviewer Ron Charles, who brags, shedding crocodile tears all the while: “I banned a book. Or at least I helped get it banned, which makes Banned Books Week a little awkward for me this year.” When Charles saw that Barnes and Noble was displaying The Trigger he went ballistic: “The Trigger, Icke’s new self-published book, is 900 pages of harebrained word vomit. It claims that the official explanation of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks is a lie to cover up the ‘massive and central involvement…
FULL ARTICLEWhen Will Muslims Demand 9/11 Truth?
The biggest, ugliest, most evil psy-op in history targeted Muslims on 9/11/2001. Quoting my article below: By failing to effectively refute the official lies about 9/11, Muslims have passively submitted to a genocidal propaganda campaign that has led to the deaths of 27 million people in Muslim countries, according to Australian avoidable mortality expert Dr. Gideon Polya.And these are just the casualties, direct and indirect, of the USA’s 9/11 wars. If we take into account the lingering worldwide effects of the 9/11 anti-Islam public relations operation, and recognize that the anti-Islam genocides in Myanmar, Kashmir, India, and China (not to…
FULL ARTICLEWhy Are Mobbed-Up 9/11 Suspects Rudy Giuliani & Bernie Kerik (Both Work for Trump) Pushing Epstein “Conspiracy Theories”?
By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor Ron Unz’s strategy to begin the cleanup of America by discrediting mainstream media (MSM) makes a lot of sense. And when the enemy collapses into confusion and fratricidal “friendly fire” you know you’re making progress. A virtual civil war has broken out in the MSM between pro- and anti- “Epstein conspiracy theorists.” On the pro side, a great many mainstream voices are starting to admit that Epstein’s case, especially the absurdly improbable “suicide,” proves conspiracy theories may not be so crazy after all. The past two days have witnessed New York Times op-eds headlined…
FULL ARTICLEMass Shootings, Mass Censorship
Watch State Department whistleblower J. Michael Springmann join me on False Flag Weekly News above—click HERE for links to the stories we covered by Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor Were the mass shootings in Gilroy, El Paso, and Dayton Gladio B false flags aimed at rolling back the 2nd Amendment? Or were they designed to demonize “radicalization on the internet” and chip away at the 1st Amendment? The probable correct answer is “all of the above.” They may also have served another purpose: Wipe Jeffrey Epstein out of the headlines during the week before his assassination (or his extraordinary rendition…

Watch False Flag Weekly News on this article and related issues above; click HEREfor links to all the stories we covered. –Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor, first published at Unz.com “With Alan Scheflin, a forensic psychologist and law professor who’d written a book on MKULTRA, I laid out a circumstantial case linking (CIA mind control guru Jolly) West to Manson. Was it possible, I asked, that the Manson murders were an MKULTRA experiment gone wrong? ‘No,’ he said, ‘an MKULTRA experiment gone right.’” (CHAOS , p. 369) I moved out of Southern California in the summer of 1969. I was…
