  • Failures of U.S. Middle East Policies

    United States foreign policies are marked by intermittent failures, often accomplishing the opposite of what is intended — Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq are examples. A difference between U.S. policies in the Middle East and State Department walkthroughs in other regions is that the Middle East policies have been consistent failures, worse than adversaries relish. Immediately […]

  • Unraveling the Mystery of the Middle East Crisis

    There are other issues I would prefer to write about; all are affected by the Middle East crisis. Economics Economics is a “dismal science” that has a postulate ─ all money is debt. This postulate leads to the realization that the capitalist economy grows and survives with mounting debt and only the government can carry […]

    Economical Explanations: Reflection on the Aims of Past Wars and Wars to Come

    Down at my grocer’s for half a dozen eggs and some melon, I answered the usual question about my well being openly as accustomed. My neighbour is a friend and his query is sincere. After recounting local concerns he expresses his frustration, one more people certainly share, that they can witness audio-visual depictions of the […]

  • A God Ordered Theft of Land and Genocide

    “On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, “To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates.” Genesis 15:18 “You must not let any living thing survive among the cities of these people the Lord your God is giving you as an […]

  • Part II: The World Confront its Malaise

    Read Part 1. The events described in previous articles ─ pro-Israel influence that enabled rapid recognition by the U.S. government of the Israel regime in 1948 and an American murder of 29 Palestinians at the Cave of Patriarchs in Hebron in 1994 are not isolated relics of the past. They link to events that occur […]

  • The New Normal Right

    OK, this will be one of my non-satirical essays … or mostly non-satirical essays. It will serve as a companion piece to The New Normal Left, another non-satirical essay that I published in April 2023, which was basically just a reiteration of a speech I gave at a conference in London. It went over pretty […]

  • Another September 11th

    Another September 11th

    Rolling out of my crib before dawn today (I was in it long before the charlatans Harris and Trump began their theatrical “debate”), it being another September 11th, I wondered where Dick Cheney was. And I was still wondering where Elmer Gantry was, having received the previous day a form message from RFK, Jr.’s faith-based […]
