If Alison Weir has not driven a wooden stake through the heart of the modern grotesquerie know as Zionism, she has at least held a cross to its face with her short, tight, understated and heavily documented book, Against Our Better Judgment, The Hidden History of How the U.S. Was Used to Create Israel. Did we say documented? The text of the book proper only runs to a power-packed 93 pages while the supporting endnotes continue for another 108. Anyone wanting to know how the American democratic system was infiltrated and abused to further the interests of what was initially, even within the Jewish community, only a relatively small group of extremists could hardly find a better starting place than…

Oliver Stone on James Forrestal
One need not spend the time slogging through all 784 pages of Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick’s The Untold History of the United States to realize that what you are going to get is what one might call “approved establishment-left history.” It might as well have been co-written by Noam Chomsky and Amy Goodman or a team of writers from Z Magazine. (Who knows? Maybe it was, or by a team at Langley, Virginia.) In fact, Goodman has already given the co-authors a soft-ball promotional interview on her program. To an awful lot of people these days, by far the biggest untold story in American history concerns what really happened on September 11, 2001. By that litmus test, at a…
FULL ARTICLEAnonymous CIA Official Dies Violently
What has this noble experiment of a supposed self-governed people come to? Several years ago a member of our secret police, the FBI, fatally gunned down a witness in the extremely high profile Boston bombing case in a fusillade of bullets after hours of questioning. Completely predictably it was announced that the killer will not be punished for shooting Ibragim Todashev to death in his own apartment. Not only will the FBI agent enjoy immunity from prosecution, but he apparently will also enjoy immunity from identification. I’m reading for the first time on Wikipedia that his name is Aaron McFarlane. I have yet to see the first peep of protest about the blatant government secrecy, much less about the extrajudicial…
FULL ARTICLEThe Cover-up of Sonny Bono’s Murder
It was news in Australia that new evidence had turned up that suggests that California congressman Sonny Bono was murdered and did not die in a skiing accident as we have been told repeatedly. Although he was an American whose job was to represent Americans, as far as the mainstream United States press is concerned this news is unworthy of the attention of the people of the United States. This is the same American press, of course, that never breathed the slightest hint of suspicion that there might have been foul play involved when the experienced skier Bono was reported to have slammed into a tree at the Heavenly Ski resort in Nevada on January 5, 1998. There were no…
FULL ARTICLELargest Known U.S. Vietnam War Atrocity
But Ignored by U.S. News Media Reporting on a recent speech by Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung in which the Vietnamese leader said that Americans committed “countless barbarous crimes” in the Vietnam War, The Washington Post’s Adam Taylor made this further observation: And while My Lai is acknowledged, some say that the massacre was only notable because of its scale, and that smaller-scale killings of civilians by U.S. troops were alarmingly commonplace. In his book “Kill Anything That Moves,” journalist Nick Turse argues that American authorities were aware of similar killings and often allowed them. “The indiscriminate killing of South Vietnamese noncombatants — the endless slaughter that wiped out civilians day after day, month after month, year after year throughout the…
FULL ARTICLEZionism Contradicts Judaism
New York historian, journalist, and lecturer, Alfred M. Lilienthal, was the leading 20th century American Jewish spokesman against the Zionist project of creating a Jewish state in Palestine. His views gained a wide audience in the United States when his essay, “Israel’s Flag Is Not My Flag,” was published in the September 1949 Reader’s Digest. The following is an excerpt from that article, which was written in the form of a letter to his mother: The plain fact is that we Jews are not a race and we should not let the Zionists persuade us that we are. Proof to the contrary lies in Palestine, plain for all to see. You had my letter, Mother, from my Army furlough there.…
FULL ARTICLEBlack 9/11
A Review The best way to discover the truth about the monumentally corrupt, near monolithic power that rules over the United States and much of the free world is to dig as deeply as you can into one important issue. Pulling on one loose string, you will find, soon causes an unraveling of the nice, neat ball as it is presented to us by the press and by much of the academic community. The truth, you will find, is quite different from what absolutely every single person in the mainstream media and government is telling you that it is. Different Eye Openers The big awakening for me, after I had already developed a rather hefty skepticism over the Kennedy and…
FULL ARTICLEThe 9/11 Mystery Plan: And the Vanishing of America
Felonious Accessories From “JFK” to 9/11, They do it every time. Our journalists behave as though They’re parties to the crime. Without the cataclysmic events of September 11, 2001, the invasion of the Muslim countries of the Middle East by the United States would have been unthinkable. The “attacks” have been precisely the “new Pearl Harbor” that the top political insiders of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) clearly so fervently wanted. Like Pearl Harbor, 9/11 has placed its imprint upon an entire era over virtually the entire world. Also, as we note in our article, “Pearl Harbor vs. 9/11,” the official narratives about both events are deeply flawed in many ways. One can pull at a dangling…
FULL ARTICLEConfessions of Football Fanatic
The Speech The year was 1976. I was a young, idealistic assistant professor of economics at North Carolina Wesleyan College in Rocky Mount. The college was struggling financially, and as a way to save money the administration hit upon the bright idea of tapping the faculty as “visiting speakers” for the mandatory convocations program, hour-long presentations to the entire student body. Preceding me, among others, had been English professor Leverett T. Smith, whose Ph. D. was actually in American studies and history professor Kenneth Finney, a specialist on Latin America. Smith had talked on the sociological aspects of the Beatles and Rolling Stones phenomena and Finney, the ascetic son of missionaries to Peru and Honduras who had been reared in…
FULL ARTICLEDo We Still Have Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s Sons?
Finally, after having been held in U.S. CIA and military custody for more than four years while being subjected to “all appropriate pressure” by “interrogators” employing their “full range of permissible techniques,” the former student at North Carolina’s Chowan College and North Carolina A & T, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, has finally claimed to have directed just about every major terrorism attack against the United States over the past fifteen years. From the techniques that we have read about, one has to wonder what took him so long to start singing like a canary. But little known to most Americans, no matter how closely they might follow the news, the torture by whatever name one might choose to call it, is…
FULL ARTICLEFoster Case Liar Resurfaced Defending Obama’s Drone War
Gene Lyons, Paid Liar, Murder Enabler When it comes to the likes of journalist Gene Lyons, much of what I have to say is already pre-written on my web site. Take, for instance, his notorious recent article in Salon, “In Defense of Obama’s Drones.” Although I’ll discuss that noxious work briefly at the end of this article, the last verse of my 1998 poem, “Press Peonage,” really says it all: Though much that we see in our leadership Is thoroughly reprehensible, Our scribbling serfs will stick to their trade Defending the indefensible. Actually, the subtitle of this article was previously written not just for “the likes of” Gene Lyons, but for the unarrested miscreant himself, and it does not refer…
FULL ARTICLEOne of Many Foster Cover-up Books
With this book, the supposedly conservative Regnery Publishers is now 3-1-1 on the major scandal involving the Clinton administration, which is the death of Deputy White House Counsel, Vincent W. Foster, Jr. It has published three books that go along with the official suicide line, one that totally demolishes that line, and a third that is ambivalent. In the first category are Unlimited Access by Gary Aldrich, A Washington Tragedy by Dan E. Moldea, and now High Crimes and Misdemeanors by Ann Coulter. In the second category is the best book so far on Bill Clinton, narrowly edging out Roger Morris’ Partners in Power, the Clintons and Their America, which is The Secret Life of Bill Clinton by the British…
FULL ARTICLETypical Propaganda on the Vince Foster Death
The following two paragraphs are from the book, “Truth at Any Cost: Ken Starr and the Unmaking of Bill Clinton,” by Susan Schmidt and Michael Weisskopf, p. 112: Starr kept thinking back to another investigation involving a president. As a young lawyer in the late 1970s, he had tried a case with David Belin, who had worked on the Warren Commission inquiry into the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Starr asked him about the Warren Commission’s finding that a single gunman had killed the president. Belin said he was haunted by criticism that the commission had rushed to judgment. Belin was certain of its conclusion, but the public was not, and in that way, he believed, the commission had failed.…
FULL ARTICLEThe Moral Midgets of American Academia
HEADLINE: 400 Historians Denounce Impeachment, Case Against Clinton Departs From Framers’ Intent for Presidency, Letter Argues The Washington Post, October 29, 1998 So, 400 of the nation’s “leading historians” have put what is left of their prestige and credibility on the line by coming out against the impeachment of President Clinton. They could hardly better demonstrate why they deserve the scorn that I heap upon them and their fellow academicians in my America’s Dreyfus Affair – Part 4. Like our journalists, they would have been right at home among the Union of Soviet Writers, without an Alexander Solzhenitsyn or even a Roy Medvedev in the lot. As a fellow Southerner much influenced by his great scholarship, I was particularly saddened…
FULL ARTICLECohen on Ruddy
With his review of Christopher Ruddy’s book, The Strange Death of Vincent Foster, an Investigation, in the November 24, 1997, issue of National Review entitled, “Conspiracy Central,” Professor Jacob Cohen of Brandeis University has illustrated all too well why mainstreamers generally stay mum about the Foster case. Assuming that the typical reader of the National Review is not entirely bereft of critical faculties, he could not help being tipped off from reading the review, even without the response from Ruddy and from Reed Irvine of Accuracy in Media that it provoked in the December 22 issue, that there is something terribly wrong with the official suicide story. Any reader who gets his news from the usual “mainstream” sources would have…
FULL ARTICLESheila Anthony Defends Her Changed Foster Story
Vince Foster’s older sister, Sheila Foster Anthony, has reacted with great indignation to Donald Trump’s suggestion that there was something “very fishy” about the circumstances surrounding the death and the “investigation” of the death of her brother, Deputy White House Counsel Vincent W. Foster, Jr. She has done so (May 27, 2016) in a prominently displayed article in The Washington Post (Wouldn’t you know?) Here is the nub of her testimony on the subject: Vince called me at my office in the Justice Department a few days before he died. H.e told me he was battling depression and knew he needed help. But he was worried that such an admission would adversely affect his top-level security clearance and prevent him…
FULL ARTICLEOliver Stone on the Japanese Surrender
Not in this writer’s lifetime has a book challenging the central accepted tenets of U.S. history received so much publicity as Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick’s The Untold History of the United States, which was serialized in reduced form in ten weekly parts on the CBS cable subsidiary Showtime. Search the authors’ names and book title with Google and on YouTube and you will find that almost everyone on the left has either given them a good review, a softball interview, or both. In the uncritical interview category, they have enjoyed the attention of Democracy Now, RT, C-Span, PBS, and one that goes beyond favorable to fawning on The Young Turks. You can doubtless find more. This positive attention is…
FULL ARTICLEMartial Machismo: At What Cost
A good work of art, though it may be the product of one person’s experience, is timeless and universal. By that standard, the song “At What a Cost”* by Mark Lentz is, to my mind, a great work of art. In war, there are always the grand planners at the top, but the actual dirty business has to be carried out by other human beings at the bottom. The price paid by those at the bottom seldom weighs very much in the calculations of the grand planners at the top, and if there is folly in the plans, no one sees it better than those at the bottom. Listening to “At What a Cost” the first lines that come to…
FULL ARTICLEPollyanna on Vince Foster and our Presidents
Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink For fellows whom it hurts to think. Look into the pewter pot To see the world as the world’s not. – A. E. Housman For the same effect, on the other hand, you could read The American President: From Teddy Roosevelt to Bill Clinton by noted American historian, William E. Leuchtenburg. Leuchtenburg, as amply demonstrated by his latest book, is the very personification of what is wrong with the American history profession. Here is how his publisher, Oxford University Press, describes him: “The author is a renowned historian who, among other achievements, was elected president of all three major national historical associations and has served as a presidential election night analyst for NBC.” …
FULL ARTICLELetter to a Historian over Foster and the Clintons
In my most recent article I take America’s professional historians to task one more time for the mainly propagandistic role they seem to be playing in interpreting what has gone on in the country. In that small verbal match I believe I supported my charge of intellectual laziness quite thoroughly against one very minor member of the profession. Noticing how he shrank away from the major issues that provide the underpinning for the case for skepticism about the current campaign against the Confederate battle flag, a stronger charge of intellectual cowardice might well be in order. And in that quality, I fear that he is representative of his entire profession. William Leuchtenburg, with more than a dozen books to his…
