Patriot`s Game

The emotionality of patriotism keeps us from thinking about what the USA is actually doing in the world: dominating other countries through economic, political, and military aggression.

Their drumming sounds feeble and hollow, though, like cheerleaders trying to rouse the fans while our military team goes down to defeat, bringing the economy with it.

Elite Killers Kill At Large For Kidon, Mossad

Former White House Speaker Newt Gingrich has called for covert action, including "taking out their scientists" and cyberwarfare.

(TEHRAN) - A new book reveals that a department known as Kidon within the Mossad dispatched assassins to Iran to murder nuclear scientists, thereby stunting the country’s nuclear energy program.

The Hand That Spurs Iran Sanctions

Simulating an Iranian Attack on Israel - Why?

An Israeli attack on Iran could set the region on fire and leave the U.S. with no choice but to become fully engaged militarily.

(LONDON) - According to reports, the U.S. and Israel are going to hold their largest ever joint military exercise shortly before American voters decide whether to give Obama a second term in the White House.

The exercise, involving thousands of soldiers and the most advanced anti-missile defense systems, will simulate simultaneous attacks from Iran and Syria.

`Decent, Honest and Truthful`?

How the pro-Israel lobby fails this simple test.

(LONDON) - Does anyone seriously expect Palestinians to recognise a state whose jackboot is on their throat? Israel has ethnically cleansed and confiscated Palestinian lands and water resources and obliterated Arab heritage.

It has deposited more than 500,000 Jewish “settlers” on the Palestinian territory it illegally occupies with the clear intention of making the occupation permanent.
