By Wayne Allensworth Readers might have seen the photo above. It’s been circulating around the internet, causing a bit of a stir. Scores of Indians celebrating a University of Texas touchdown in a game with Ohio State. Those who were disturbed by the photo are being attacked as “racist.” Some complained that UT graduation ceremonies look very much like that. Bo French, a GOP candidate for Texas...
By Wayne Allensworth CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s “secret” visit to Moscow last week prompted a flurry of speculation about its purpose and what transpired at his meeting with Russian intelligence chiefs. Ratcliffe did not meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but with Russian Foreign Intelligence (SVR) chief Sergei Naryshkin and the head of the Federal Security Service (FSB), Aleksandr...
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...
