Reviews and Reflections on Life In America
By Wayne Allensworth Lindsey Graham, allegedly a senator from South Carolina but actually one of Israel’s top agents, has died. I’m not inclined to speak ill of the dead, but it’s necessary to condemn treason. Graham was a warmonger who served a foreign power and spent much more time in and on Israel than he did his home state. He even called on Israel to use nuclear weapons against Iran and...
by R. Cort Kirkwood (the New American) GOP Senator Lindsey Graham’s final thoughts were not about his constituents or even his family, but instead about waging economic war on Russia and relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. And more video of the Israel-First senator’s incessantly pounding the drums for war is surfacing on social media. Graham was 71 when he died on Saturday after returning...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who died Saturday night, spent the last days of his life advocating for more war in Iran and more conflict with Russia. Graham was 71 when he died after a “sudden illness,” his office said. The office did not say what befell the Israel First senator. The Washington Post reported rescue efforts at...
By Wayne Allensworth What seems like a long time ago, in a world that now also seems far, far away, I attempted and hoped to have some small influence, some significance in the vast sweep of history as it was unfolding before our eyes. I was still working in the so-called Intelligence Community. Russia was my bailiwick, the focus of what I saw as an attempt to understand that huge, complex...
By Wayne Allensworth I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. — Isaiah 45:7 Summertime. In the mornings before the heat waves bear down on me, I take my quiet-time walk. And listen. And watch and pay attention. The doves coo as they take flight. And in the blue summertime sky, the harriers hover and watch. I walk beside a pond and...
By Wayne Allensworth The United States of America will soon mark its 250th birthday. But America as such is but a vestige within the body of a failing empire. By “America,” I mean the cultural and demographic core that once defined our country. With a diminishing and divided “red” and “blue” core, “we” are a chaotic mass of competing interest and identity groups. The result might well be...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) A year ago today, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced that Iran’s nuclear facilities “have been destroyed” in Operation Midnight Hammer. The facilities would require “years” to rebuild. CIA chief John Ratcliffe said much the same thing. Next day, the White House published a news release: Experts Agree: Iran’s Nuclear...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) For the second time this year and the third time in two years, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has embarrassed the Trump administration. Also for the second time, he suggested that his true loyalty lies with Israel. Contradicting President Donald Trump, who rightly said Israel would not exist without the United States, Huckabee said the United States...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) U.S. President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding that ended the war in Persian Gulf for 60 days until final details of a peace deal are negotiated. Trump signed the pact at the Palace of Versailles in France, while Pezeshkian signed electronically from his office. The signing had been scheduled...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Vice President JD Vance told Israeli officials today that they might want to behave themselves even if they don’t like the U.S.-Iran peace deal signed yesterday in France. The reason: American taxpayers are the reason — the only reason — Israel can defend itself. And American tax dollars foot the bill for the war against Iran. He said much the same thing in...
