By Wayne Allensworth How far the story matters to anyone but myself depends on the degree to which others have experienced what I call “joy.”… I have been emboldened to write of it because I notice that a man seldom mentions what he had supposed to be his idiosyncratic sensations without receiving from at least one (often more) of those present the reply, “What! Have you felt that too? I always...

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 Wayne Allensworth For more than three decades, I was paid to notice things. To see patterns. Connect dots. To track developing trends. And to work out scenarios indicating where those trends were heading. Often enough, the trends were not good. The patterns were disturbing. And people don’t like to hear bad news, even when they pay others to deliver it. You can easily get tagged as a...
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...
