The Donald Trump administration’s legally questionable use of cruise missiles to attack a Syrian air force air base because of claims that the Syrian government used nerve agents in an attack on April 4, 2017 in Khan Shaykhu, was based on easily refutable lies, Dr. Theodore Postol, professor of Science, Technology, and International Security at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

The Income Tax Implies that Government Owns You
The income tax is enshrined into law an idea that stands in total contradiction to the driving force behind the American Revolution and the whole idea of freedom itself. We desperately need a serious national movement to get rid of it – not reform it, not replace it, no flatten it or refocus its sting from this group to that. It just needs to go.

This Video Mocked Privatization, but the Free Market Got the Last Laugh
The video shows a pair of English comedians mocking efforts to privatize the U.K.’s air traffic control system. Fortunately, the privatization happened in the U.K., followed by similar privatizations in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and Switzerland. In all of these countries, safety and innovation have stayed the same or improved.

On Korea Trump is becoming trapped by his own rhetoric
President Trump’s recent tweet claiming that the US has “no choice” but to accelerate its military build-up, has an unusually defensive and self-justifying tone, suggesting a certain level of awareness of the extent to which the situation in Korea is starting to spin out of his control, and may be sign of the pressure he is coming under.

Donald Trump both thanks and insults China in a single Tweet

Russia and China dispatch spy ships to shadow Trump fleet
As the US aircraft carrier Carl Vinson and its accompanying escort ships come within striking distance of North Korea, a Japanese newspaper, Yomiuri Shimbun, is reporting that Russia and China have sent spy ships to monitor their movements.
Yomiuri Shimbun says it has been provided with this information by “numerous sources within the Japanese government”. The Japanese government would be well-informed about this situation because some of its own warships have joined the task force led by Carl Vinson. -
Here’s why pragmatism is the most successful way to govern a country
Pragmatism is the most assured guiding force for good government. It is possible to run a government based on ideology or its close cousin, fanaticism, but rarely do such things end up being successful.
More often than not, the antithesis of pragmatism ends in failure.
The controversial 20th century British politician Enoch Powell once remarked,“All political lives, unless they are cut off in midstream at a happy juncture, end in failure, because that is the nature of politics and of human affairs”.

The Golan Heights: Sold to the Highest Bidder Until Everyone Loses
The Golan Heights, internationally recognised as Syrian territory, were seized by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967. The ostensible reason for this was that the Heights could be used to terrorise Israel, being mountains with Israeli plains below, and thus Israel was merely ensuring its security.

Christian Identity and the Jews
By Pastor Eli James. I am writing to comment on the article by John Tiffany, entitled “Was Judaism an Invention of the Persian Empire?” As a Bible historian, I must say that this article is riddled with historical inaccuracies and speculative dead-ends.

US Can Mend Fences with Russia: Learning from Israel
Moscow has good working relations with the United States’ closest ally, which views as enemies Russia’s friends in Syria. The divisions are deep, but the relations are close. It can be achieved. Israel has done what the US has so far failed to do despite the fact that America is led by a president whose stated goal during the election campaign was to heal the relationship with Moscow. Now, why does not Washington take a page out of Israel’s book? Syria is the right place to start...

Is America's Alliance with Turkey Doomed?
The U.S.-Turkey alliance, originally forged because of a common external threat, has become exceedingly fragile since the fall of the Soviet Union. Both states criticize each other rather than sweep aside their differences. More troublingly, they harbor mutual mistrust, which colors their perceptions of each other. While it is difficult to predict the future of the U.S.-Turkey alliance, it has clearly suffered from severe alliance fatigue and needs extensive restoration. Resuscitating the relationship will demand investment and concessions from both parties.

Jared Kushner: A Suspected Gangster Within the Trump White House
Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner has emerged as a significant influence within the policy-making apparatus of the White House. After a rather public imbroglio with Trump’s strategic policy adviser Stephen Bannon over the U.S. cruise missile attack on the Shayrat airbase in Syria, Kushner is «in», as they often say in Washington, and Bannon is «out.» In any case, the anti-globalist faction, which is led by Bannon, has received verbal «thumbs down» on several fronts from Trump.

ISIS launches 2nd gas attack on Iraqi troops in Mosul
Here is a chemical attack that occurred on Sunday that the mainstream media will sparsely report.
Why? Because this attack was a confirmed chemical weapons attack conducted by ISIS.
And, for those still not in the know…ISIS is backed by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey…and the USA.
It’s all part of the “Assad must go” first strategy…so any chemical weapons press that ISIS incurs, destroys the “Assad has chemical weapons” narrative that has been carelessly crafted over the years. -

Why Trusting US Government and Mainstream Media Makes You a Dupe
The U.S. Government and ‘news’media lied us into invading Iraq in 2003, and hid their coup that overthrew the democratically elected progressive government in Iran in 1953, and lied to say that the CIA wasn’t behind the overthrow and ’suicide' of Salvador Allende in Chile in 1973 — and now they’re lying us into war yet again, this war against Syria (where we, and our allied jihadists who are fighting to overthrow Assad, have already destroyed the lives of the people)...

Japan Joins the Games Around Taiwan
Big-league politics, like everyday life, is characterized by the fact that focusing on minor events may confirm or cast doubt on customary opinions on some important processes, especially when these events are superimposed on other relevant events and facts.
One of such extremely important processes in modern geopolitics is the so-called ‘Taiwan Problem’. This immediately stands out when, for example, you read a report about an incident that happened in late March 2017 at Haneda Airport in Tokyo. -
