Four questions for Saddam—and the U.S. by Larry Everest

1. What role did the CIA and other U.S. agencies play in the Baath Party’s rise to power?

2. What role did the Carter and Reagan administrations play in starting the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988, which resulted in a total of one million casualties, including over 300,000 dead?

3. During the Iran-Iraq war, what role did U.S. military and intelligence officials play in Iraq’s use of chemical weapons and in prolonging the conflict?

4. What did the United States really know about Iraq’s destruction of its chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs—and when did Washington know it?

EYE ON THE ENEMY ALERT !!! - Think Again: Neocons by Max Boot

Neocons, by contrast, are committed above all to U.S. global leadership, and they know that the costs of such leadership (including peacekeeping and nation building) are so high that the United States needs allies to share the burden. For this reason, neocons have been vocal advocates of expanding NATO and sending its forces into Afghanistan and Iraq.

The Illegal-Alien Crime Wave by Heather MacDonald

George W. Bush, Pod Person

The New York Times's newest neocon columnist, David Brooks, laptop bombardier Max Boot and others who have taken offense at the neocons-hijacked-the-White House meme have indignantly asked: doesn't the President have a mind of his own?

Attack Of The Pod Person I: Amnesty To Remake GOP

In his recent column “W’s Immigration Plan: A New GOP” (New York Post, January 8), John Podhoretz congratulates President Bush for going to bat for amnesty. He assures us that the President “proposed a far-reaching, innovative and compassionate revision of American immigration policy.”

Pro-Israel Versus Pro-American (Part 1) by Stefan Lense

Much of the conservative movement has been hijacked by pro-Israel neocons. Almost all conservative talk show hosts have jumped on the neocon bandwagon.

Neocons Barking at Cairo

U.S. Pentagon advisor Richard Perle’s recent remarks about Egypt and his criticism of U.S. financial assistance to the country indicates the beginning of a new phase of the U.S. hawks’ political and propaganda campaign meant to influence developments in the Middle East.

Losing America's Livelihood by William F. Jasper

The U.S. is headed for Third World status unless we change government policies that are driving U.S. businesses offshore, destroying jobs and putting entrepreneurs out of business.

Amnesty and Culture by Rep. Ron Paul, MD

The dictionary defines amnesty as a general pardon for offenders by a government, and the Bush administration’s new proposal to grant legal status to millions of illegal aliens surely meets that definition.

The Crumbling Case for War by Alan Bock

It is a little frustrating to write that the main hope is that the American people will be more vigilant the next time a president and his administration put on a full court press on behalf of a dubious war.

Wal-Mart Is Not a Business, It's an Economic Disease by Richard Freeman and Arthur Ticknor

The Wal-Mart department store chain, which employs 1.3 million people at 4,700 stores worldwide, and in 2002 became the largest corporation in the world, is levelling economies of the U.S., industrial nations, and the Third World.

What is 9-11?, Crime?, Act of war?, Hoax?

These are a few selected articles out of over 3,000 written between September 11, 2001 and today (most of which were available only on the Internet because the corporate controlled media ignored the real questions and issues that would expose the TRUE perpetrators of the WTC/Pentagon attacks).

Real message of the Bush amnesty by Pat Buchanan

If George Bush's amnesty for between 8 million and 14 million illegal aliens is enacted, you can kiss the old America goodbye.

Some Dare Call It Treason by Liz Michael

President George W. Bush along with Senator John McCain, want to give some eight to ten million illegal aliens, most of them from Mexico, legal status. Theoretically, the plan would legalize these aliens as "temporary workers," which would allow them to work freely in the United States without fear of deportation.

With Friends Like These, U.S. Enemies Don’t Seem As Bad By Ivan Eland

What They Don’t Want You to Know by John Pilger

The disaster in Iraq is rotting the Blairite establishment. Blair himself appears ever more removed from reality; his latest tomfoolery about the "discovery" of "a huge system of clandestine weapons laboratories," which even the American viceroy in Baghdad mocked, would be astonishing, were it not merely another of his vapid attempts to justify his crime against humanity. (His crime, and George Bush’s, is clearly defined as "supreme" in the Nuremberg judgment.)

A World Apart By Taki

Bush Amnesty Plan Will Bury Republicans Forever by Leonard M. Scruggs

Not many realize it yet, but immigration is the mother of all issues. Every political, economic, and social issue facing the country today and most importantly in the future depends on how we resolve the immigration issue.

Perle's Manifesto And The State Of The Union

If you were wondering on the first day of 2004 how the United States could take the fermenting mess in Iraq and parlay it into a global disaster, relax. The answers to that and other questions about how to destroy our country and its reputation are contained in the latest writings of Richard Perle and co-author David Frum in their year-end book, The End of Evil: How to Win the War on Terror.

I'm A Terrorist Too!

It’s true. In these gritty times, we’re all criminals, because everything is a crime, depending on who you are, who you know, and who wants your fanny - or your oil.

American Renaissance’s Conferences: Talking About The Taboo

VDARE.COM has just been named a Hate Group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the notorious Treason Group. One reason cited: our publishing articles by Jared Taylor, Editor of the American Renaissance newsletter. For our take on Taylor, click here. We certainly wish we had published AR’s recent article on immigration into Scandinavia. We will answer the SPLC smear when we have time, yawn. But meanwhile, to celebrate our new status, we publish another Taylor article below.

NeoCons Engage in Total Hypocrisy

EVERYTHING YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT NEOCONS by Justin Raimondo

They're coming out of the closet, so to speak, faster than David Brooks can deny their very existence: I'm talking about neocons, of course, that dreaded sub-species of right-wing ideologues whose fabulous history has become the stuff of legend. Brooks says that to even breathe the n-word is to flirt with Hitlerian tendencies, and Joel Mowbray agrees. So, too, does Jonah Goldberg, and that seems to finalize the verdict of the jury. Except that it doesn't.

Palestinian Prime Minister Qourei says two-state solution in danger, a bi-national state with Israel is the alternative- by Wafa Amr ABU DIS

Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie said Thursday Palestinians would seek to forge a single bi-national state with Israel if Israel carried out its threat to absorb chunks of the West Bank.

Tragedy or Triumph? by Roger Young

COMMUNIST BUSH (II) by Alan Stang

As I write, "conservative" talk show hosts are staggering around their studios, holding their heads, pulling out what hair they have left, no doubt bumping into consoles, trying to explain the latest treasonous scheme concocted by communist George W. Bush, the latest "amnesty" that would legalize the presence of still another crop of lawbreakers in our country.

US calls off search for weapons of mass destruction - from the Irish Times

The Bush administration has quietly withdrawn a 400-member military team it sent to Baghdad to scour Iraq for evidence of unconventional weapons, write Conor O'Clery in New York & Deaglán de Bréadún in Dublin.

Bush's Free Ride For Illegals - Biggest Treachery In US History

So far, no one is calling this what it is: perhaps the biggest act of treachery in American history. Online polls so far show from 80-97% of respondents want illegals deported immediately. But Bush...the non-elected hand-puppet zionist-controlled Illuminati Bonesman ...is executing the 'plan' perfectly. The country is bankrupt, the states are bankrupt, the cities are bankrupt, the schools are destroyed, the health care system is failing, etc, etc, ...largely due to illegal immigrants - of several races and cultures certainly, but inarguably 70% of which are from our 'neighbor to the south.'

Israel is a “thunderously failed reality” that “rests on a scaffolding of corruption, and on foundations of oppression and injustice.” Were these words spoken by an American leader, he would be denounced as an anti-Semite. But these are the words of a former speaker of the Israeli Knesset who cries for his country. “The countdown to the end of Israeli society has begun,” writes Avraham Burg, “the end of the Zionist enterprise is already on our doorstep.”
