By R. Cort Kirkwood (the New American) Israel-First podcaster Ben Shapiro is urging President Trump to wage total war on Iran, which would necessarily require ground troops and would likely end with thousands of Americans wounded or dead. The neoconservative commentator’s latest call for a war in which he will not be a combatant comes about a year after he said opponents who worry about ground...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) With the vote of 216 congressmen that critics say is tantamount to treason, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, which will irrevocably entangle the U.S. and Israeli militaries, and some say, give Israel control of the American military policy. Not a single Republican voted against the imprudent measure. Two...
By Wayne Allensworth Things are moving very quickly now. The dizzying pace of developments is driven in large part by our hyper-connected age, with events reported at a rapid-fire pace, prompting social media reactions based on partial information or disinformation. One must detect patterns to tell the difference. It’s hard to keep up, but I’ll attempt to connect some dots that may give us clues...
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 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...
