A postcard from Paris
I’m in Charles de Gaulle Airport returning home to Morocco after a three-week visit to the USA. I have a little less than an hour till my plane boards. And the weirdest thing just happened. So I’m going to tell my Substack subscribers about it. A friend emailed me a YouTube video entitled “I Think...

In her 1882 book A Sister’s Memoir, Asia Booth Clarke, sister to the assassin of America’s 16th president, wrote that her father Junius Booth attended synagogue and was considered Jewish: Mrs. Clarke wasn’t the only member of the family to make this claim; her older brother Edwin Booth, also reportedly told Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise...

Back in my younger years I greatly enjoyed Science Fiction, and from junior high through graduate school, I probably read a thousand or more books in that genre, captivated by the enormous range of interesting ideas presented. My two favorite authors had originally been Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, though they were eventually replaced...
Read MoreExcerpts: I think there is a new wave of outraged skepticism building now (about MSM coverage of Occupied Palestine) very much like after 9-11 with the 9-11 Truth Movement. And at that time, it was driven by the—at that point—free, uncensored internet. You mentioned social media, but actually social media has made things worse. Prior...

An apocalypse, or cataclysmic unveiling, is underway
Rumble link Bitchute link Are we living through a Jewish apocalypse? Many of my friends think so. Linh Dinh isn’t the only one who thinks the COVID “Jewjabs” are a plot to exterminate the goyim. Then there’s the alleged Jewish plan to destroy America through crime and unchecked immigration. Linh recently emailed me: Well…no. I’m...
Read MoreOsama bin Laden may be in Hell, but he could be having the last laugh. TikTokers recently discovered Osama bin Laden’s “Letter to America” which was written in 2002 and residing online in plain sight. The letter, allegedly written by bin Laden’s #2, the late Ayman al-Zawahiri, was al-Qaeda’s justification for attacking America on 11...
Read MoreOsama bin Laden’s “Letter to America” — especially a version published at The Guardian since 2002 — recently became wildly popular on TikTok. According to the New York Times, #lettertoamerica had 14.2 million views. You can’t check that hashtag now, because TikTok banned it. The Guardian also removed the letter itself, because it was being...

This is not a conspiracy theory. It is the most likely explanation we have of the information at this time. The Hamas October 7 attack on Israel was the opening gun of a plot devised by US neoconservatives and Netanyahu to renew the US attack on Hezbollah’s suppliers in behalf of Greater Israel. Greater Israel...

I was a huge fan of Ayn Rand from my early 20s until a few years back when I began to wonder whether there was “more to it” than the ostensible admiration for the productive classes and a ruthless advocacy for freedom from needless government interference in one’s life. Rand’s work even may have an...

A Cinematic Portrait of Graeme MacQueen, A Warrior for Peace
It is one thing to read a review of this important and compelling film – a tour de force – and another to watch it. The former fades into insignificance when one takes an hour-and-a-half to immerse oneself in its tragic yet revelatory story. For in it we see and hear a dying man speak...

We just recently passed the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 Attacks, the greatest terrorist strike in human history and an event whose political reverberations dominated world politics for most of the two decades that followed. Our Iraq War was soon triggered as a consequence, a disastrous decision that dramatically transformed the political map of the...

It’s another 9/11 or Pearl Harbor but who actually did what to whom?
It’s amazing how America’s thought-controlled media is able to come up with a suitable narrative almost immediately whenever there is an international incident that might be subject to multiple interpretations. Since 1948 Israel has expelled hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes, has occupied nearly all of the historic Palestine, has empowered its army...

Probably not. Here's why.
Yes, Israel’s failure to foresee and mitigate Operation al-Aqsa Flood was a monumental intelligence failure. But did elements of Israel’s government deliberately stand down their defense of the Gaza border wall? That’s the clear insinuation of David Ignatius’s new Washington Post article, which compares al-Aqsa Flood to the 9/11 false flag. Ignatius, widely viewed as...

Suppose a consortium of powerful interests wanted to replace a president with someone who’s policies they preferred–and blame it on a patsy. What’s wrong with that? Or suppose the leaders of foreign nation orchestrated a terrorist act as a rationale for US forces to take out their enemies—at the expense of 3,000 Americans. What’s wrong...

Skeptics have pointed to the alleged absence of radiation at ground zero as proof that nuclear weapons were not used to demolish the twin towers in New York City on September 11, 2001. This argument, however, is a logical fallacy that can never rise to the level of proof because the alleged absence of radiation...

We are now at the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 Attacks that ushered in our current century and unleashed a series of wars, killing or displacing many millions. The highest-profile terrorist attacks in human history had tremendous importance both for the world and our own country, but a couple of decades later their memory has...
Read MoreThe official conspiracy theories of 9/11 and the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot are both so ridiculous that you really have to wonder: Is someone gaslighting us? 9/11’s absurdities have been ably summarized by James Corbett in his classic “9/11 Explained in 5 Minutes.” Excerpt: On the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 men armed with...

On June 6, Tucker Carlson, America’s most-watched TV pundit, launched a new show on Twitter. No longer reined in by Fox News executives, Carlson was free to ask a big, explosive question: “What exactly happened on 9/11?” He answered himself: “Well, it’s still classified.” A few months earlier, Carlson had appeared on Clayton Morris’s podcast...

(The Devil’s Trick)
As we approach the twenty-second anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, more than enough evidence exists to draw reasonable conclusions about what happened that day and who was responsible. Most of the basic facts have been known for years, though unfortunately have not been readily available to the general public. Way back in 2007,...

No wonder he lied so outrageously in our email correspondence
In early summer 1992 I caught the documentary film Manufacturing Consent when it opened in San Francisco’s Castro Theater. That film changed my life. It showcased Noam Chomsky, an accomplished linguistics professor, and his analysis of corporate media propaganda. Manufacturing Consent convinced me that the American academy could tolerate, and indeed celebrate, serious social criticism....

On March 29, the Senate voted to repeal two Authorizations for the Use of Military Force, (AUMF’s), one passed in 1991 and another in 2002. The repeal now goes to the House. But those Authorizations are irrelevant to the present; they apply only to the Iraq war. But a third AUMF, passed in 2001, was...

Back in 1959 Vice President Richard Nixon visited Moscow and held his famous "Kitchen debate" with Soviet leader Nikita Khruschev. Nixon favorably compared the standard of living of American suburbanites to that of their Russian counterparts under Communism. Criticizing Soviet society was a serious crime in those days, but I doubt that the Russians ever...

I recently read Lenin’s Tomb, David Remnick’s Pulitzer Prize winning 1993 account of the decay and political collapse of the Soviet Union, and one of the crucial points he emphasized was that Soviet history contained many important "Blank Spots," deeply suppressed facts or incidents central to the true history of that unfortunate country. Just as...
