In which I call for the Taliban to invade Europe

Kevin Barrett

An open letter to Mullah Omar Dear Mullah Omar, As-salaamu alaikum and a top o’ the marnin’ to ye! (That’s a traditional Irish Muslim greeting – I don’t imagine you use it much in Afghanistan.) Anyway, I thought I’d write to ask how you were getting along, and whether you might be able to take some time off from your busy jihad-ing in Afghanistan to invade, occupy, and liberate Europe. Europe needs liberating a lot more than Afghanistan ever did. Here are some of the reasons: *Europe is a failed state. The Euro is crashing and the EU will soon…

Senate declares US bestial military dictatorship

Kevin Barrett

2012 is shaping up to be a heck of a year for the military. On December 31, 2011, Obama signed the NDAA, codifying into law for the first time in American history that the military can imprison citizens or non-citizens indefinitely, inside or outside the United States, without charges or trial.    (Source: American Civil Liberties Union) This obscene bill was the work of the US Senate. Every Senator who voted for it needs to be tried for treason, convicted, and hanged by the neck until dead. The President who signed it, with reservations, should get off with a lighter sentence.…

If Herb Caen, I can too

Kevin Barrett

Back when newspapers were worth reading…and I’m outing myself as a real old-timer by admitting I can remember that far back…the San Francisco Chronicle featured a columnist named Herb Caen…who put three dots between everything he wrote…and just about everything else he wrote… Herb earned his keep by emitting a steady stream of witty little blurt-outs and brain-farts. Few rivaled the epigrams of LaRochefoucauld.  But at least Herb kept them coming, day after day, week after week, year after year. The guy was a maestro of three-dot journalism…a nattering nabob of non-sequitur…a supreme potentate of suspension points…an elevated eminence of…

Jonathan Kay and I agree: “Conspiracy theories” are getting out of hand!

Kevin Barrett

Jonathan Kay is the author of Among the Truthers, an anti-9/11-truth rant that devotes more vitriolic attention to me than to any other 9/11 truth movement figure, and libels me outrageously in the process. So you wouldn’t think that Jonathan and I would ever see eye-to-eye. But it turns out that we agree on a very important point: The “Islamic terror threat” has been grossly exaggerated. Amazingly enough, we  also agree that “conspiracy theories” are getting out of hand! Here is Jonathan Kay’s response to my recent open letter trying to find common ground. I would agree that Americans, and…

WHO’s paranoid?! My letter to Jonathan Kay of the National Post

Kevin Barrett

Jonathan Kay of the Canadian National Post libeled me outrageously in his book Among the Truthers.Now Joshua Blakeney informs me that Kay mentioned me in a recent speech to the Hannah Arendt Center.  The good news is that this time he doesn’t libel me. The bad news is that his speech continues the assault on reason, disguised as a defense of reason, that he began in his book.Below is my letter briefly responding to the Arendt Center speech.   Jon, In your speech to the Arendt Center (I’m a fan of Hannah Arendt by the way) in which you kindly…

Islam and liberty: Contradictory or complementary?

Kevin Barrett

In his classic On Liberty, John Stuart Mill observes: “Wherever the (religious) sentiment of the majority is still genuine and intense, it is found to have abated little of its claim to be obeyed.”* More than 150 years later, Mill’s dictum holds true. In irreligious Europe, as in the great coastal metropolitan centers of the USA, there is little legal or social pressure to obey religious dictates; whereas in the Islamic world, and parts of the American heartland, where deeply religious majorities exist, religious opinion demands obeisance on important matters. Is religion, then, an impediment to liberty? Can liberty flower…

Kevin Barrett

Wiesenthal Center names top 10 anti-Semitic slursDecember 13, 2011NEW YORK (JTA) – A comment by Mahmoud Abbas referring to Palestine as the “holy land” placed first in the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Top 10 Anti-Israel/Anti-Semitic Slurs of 2011.

In which I turn myself in for Indefinite Military Detention

Kevin Barrett

Sent to:  www.dhs.gov/xutil/contactus.shtm  Dear DHS, As someone who could be said to “substantially support al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces,” I am writing to turn myself in under the new NDAA law. Please send a US military brigade, preferably the Marines (semper fi, guys!) to indefinitely detain me. (I’d prefer the Marines because I’m a big fan of Gen. Smedley Butler – and I LOVE Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket. I mean, let’s face it, compared to the other services, the Marines are seriously cool.) I suppose you want me to explain what “substantially support” means. Well, I’m wondering about that…

Larry “Satan’s Slave” Silverstein invests in 666 !

Kevin Barrett

Today’s headline reads: World Trade Center developer Silverstein in $666 million deal in Poland. What’s with Silverstein and 666? Exactly 911 days after 9/11 – on 3/11 (2004), the day of the Madrid bombings – Larry Silverstein bought the biggest building in the 60606 zip code: the “illuminati power center” Sears Tower. On June 6th, 2006 (6/6/6) a planned attack on the Sears Tower may have been thwarted (according to military intel specialist Captain Eric May) due to the widespread warnings, amplified by the publicity surrounding the Chicago conference. That was the world’s first huge, successful 9/11 truth conference. Does…

Confessions of a “modern anti-Semite”

Kevin Barrett

  The modern anti-semite:  The so-called Israel critic “The ‘Israel critic’ will never state ‘Jews go home’ but is questioning the legality of the incorporation of the State of Israel and therefore the right for the Jewish people to settle in their homeland. He will not say the Jews are the evil of the world but claim that the State of Israel is a major cause for instability and war in the region. There is no other country, no other people on this planet the ‘Israel critic’ would dedicate so much time and devotion as to the case of Israel.…
