The Case Against the Case for War With Iran

On Tuesday, July 24th, I had the great opportunity to guest host the Charles Goyette Show on KFNX 1100 AM in Phoenix. I did my best to line up the experts in order to debunk the War Party's case for war with Iran. Many thanks to my guests for taking part. Jack Blood was kind enough to let me borrow his studio since he has the proper ISDN equipment for broadcasting from afar, but unfortunately there were problems getting the machines to talk to each other, so I ended up hosting the show on a...

Holy Poll-e , Batman

As reported on the Lewrockwell Blog, a recent poll tells us that Ron Paul would snatch 34% of the vote in a contest with Hilary Clinton, would would take 49%. At first glance, this doesn't seem like much. But consider that Ron Paul is still relatively unknown among common folk, and this is a stellar performance. Also consider another possibility. Ron does great in the primaries but is edged out by Mr. Haircut or Mr. Comb-over. Then he pulls a Ross Perot and runs as an independent. Under these...

Gents for Genocide

Michael Crowley has a devastating article (liberated in full here) in the latest New Republic. Crowley investigates the efforts of Turkey's lobbyists in DC to block any recognition by Congress of the 1915 Armenian genocide. "Even in modern Washington, where it's taken for granted that everyone has their price, flip-flopping on genocide has the ability to shock." Indeed. (requisite Sibel Edmonds stuff below the fold) Crowley's article isn't so much about denying genocide, but rather what Sibel...

Why the US Military Loves Ron Paul

by TOM ENGELHARDT The Nation Recently, the Federal Election Commission released its July quarterly figures on contributions to presidential candidates--and Congressman Ron Paul f Texas modestly made the news because the libertarian candidate managed to pull in more money than that military icon (and war supporter) Senator John McCain for the quarter and so slipped into third place in the Republican presidential dollars sweepstakes. Since Paul garners but 2 to 3 percent of the vote in recent...

The Saker interviews Mizgîn from Kurdistan

Dear friends, Check out this super-interesting interview I made with Mizgîn, a lady I "met" here, on the stressblog.  Boy does she know her stuff!  And yes, she is not shy about her opinions, including her opinion of others, which I find very refreshing in a world of lukewarm interest and committment. I am truly delighted to have had the opprtunity to "interview" (via email) somebody like her. In the future, I will try to get more interviews participants to various conflicts. Does anybody...
