Reviews and Reflections on Life In America
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) The United States is facing the collapse of the petrodollar that has propped up the American economy for the last half-century. Former Navy SEAL and podcaster Shawn Ryan warned that the war in Iran and ensuing closure of the Strait of Hormuz is a coming debacle for American finance. China’s currency, he said, will supplant that of the United States and...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz Israel is preparing to renew its attack on Iran, and awaits only the “green light” from the United States, the country’s defense minister said. Israel Katz said the upcoming attack will erase the Khamenei dynasty and blow Iran back to the “age of darkness and stone,” reiterating U.S. President Donald Trump’s vow in early...
By Wayne Allensworth Whatever wing of the Epstein Party you choose to vote for in November, it appears that the worst fears of the conspiracy theorists were not far off the mark. We are, in fact, ruled by a small, greedy, rootless, cold-blooded, and degenerate gang of elites. It’s a continuum ranging not very broadly from neo-liberals to neo-conservatives, with plenty of Zionism thrown in. The...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) As the U.S-Iran peace talks that are scheduled to begin in Pakistan appear suspended, President Trump told CNBC’s Squawk Box he was “ready to go” and begin bombing the country again if it does not open the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has not committed to renew talks with Vice President J.D. Vance and his negotiators, and Vance, Axios reported, has not...
By Darrell Dow Samuel Huntington’s The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order, offered a framework for understanding post-Cold War global politics. Rather than ideology or economics driving conflict, Huntington argued that the world would reorganize along cultural, religious, and civilizational lines. He presented a map dividing the globe into major civilizations — Western...
By Wayne Allensworth Regarding Israel, Christian Zionism, and the Epstein affair, see, for instance, The Vampire’s Ball (Epstein and How the World Works), Former CIA Agent Weighs In on Israel, War With Iran, Epstein, and JFK Files, More on the War With Iran (“Operation Epstein Fury”), and The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: What Would Jesus Do? The U.S.-based globalist empire is destroying itself...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) During an Israeli Cabinet meeting today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confessed that the Trump administration has Netanyahu on speed dial so it can report to him “every day” about the Iran war U.S. President Donald Trump started on Israel’s behalf. The latest on the tail-wags-dog relationship comes from Axios writer Barak Ravid, a former Israeli...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) President Trump announced this morning that the U.S. Navy will block the Strait of Hormuz because peace talks between Iran and a team of American negotiators led by Vice President J.D. Vance have failed. After almost a full day of discussion, Vance told the media yesterday, his team left Iran without an agreement that would end the U.S.-Israeli war against...
By Wayne Allensworth In the Iran War, we are observing the American Empire — drunk on hubris, bereft of any humility or sense of limits, overstretched beyond its means and in the decadent stage of imperium — in its death throes. Our “leaders” live in a bubble of their own making inside the Washington, D.C., beltway, while the people also reside in digital echo chambers, a fantasy world...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) A state senator in Tennessee threatened to hit an independent reporter who asked questions about the senator’s bill to require state agencies to refer to the West Bank as Judea and Samaria, then asked why the senator was a shill for Israel. Paul Rose, who represents District 32 in the suburbs of Memphis, was none too happy with Justin...
