Are Neocons an Existential Threat?
No one dares confront the existential question of whether the United States and the world can continue to tolerate and accommodate the neoconservatives.

How Neocons Destabilized Europe
The refugee chaos that is now pushing deep into Europe – dramatized by gut-wrenching photos of Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi whose body washed up on a beach in Turkey – started with the cavalier ambitions of American neocons and their liberal-interventionist sidekicks who planned to remake the Middle East and other parts of the world through “regime change.” Instead of the promised wonders of “democracy promotion” and “human rights,” what these “anti-realists” have accomplished is to spread death, destruction and destabilization across the Middle East and parts of Africa and now into Ukraine and the heart of Europe.

Who Bombed Khobar Towers? Anatomy of a Crooked Terrorism Investigation
UPDATE 1: With Khobar Bomber's Arrest, Saudi Arabia Deals Blow to Iran
Phi Beta Iota: Asked about this, Gareth Porter responded: It doesn't change in the least any of the analysis in my article about the politicized investigation and conclusion by Louis Freeh and the FBI. Will the Saudis now seek to revive their accusations against the Saudi Shi'a in the Khobar Towers bombing? Perhaps so, but it is difficult to see how it would have any more credibility than it did in 1996-2001.

Russia Inadvertently Posts Its Casualties In Ukraine: 2,000 Deaths, 3,200 Disabled
Being a deep historical overview of Syria and the Islamic State in the context of the “deep state” of criminals who manipulate governments and eventually give rise to populist movements.
Western policy has been a disgrace and Britain’s contribution to it should be a matter of national shame. Whatever has motivated it, it has been a disaster for Iraq, Libya and now Syria, and the fallout is killing Americans, French people and now British tourists, in addition to its uncounted victims in the Middle East. The case for changing this policy, at least where Syria is concerned, is overwhelming.
The Obama Administration, with the support of the NATO, the EU, the NeoCons, and the mainstream media is stumbling blindly towards a New Cold War with Russia over Ukraine. The Military – Industrial – Congressional Complex (MICC) feeding off the Pentagon's budget is preparing for another boom in defense spending triggered by the resurrection of the Russian “existential threat,” to borrow a term used in recent congressional testimony by the nominees for Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff or interviews given by the retiring Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army. Add in the Pivot East to Contain China, plus the never ending, always mutating Global War on Terror, and it is easy to see why the MICC thinks it is once again headed for fat city. Using Ukraine to trigger of a New Cold War is, however, jewel in the crown of the MICC's budget boomers.
This author has been pretty good over the many months I have been reading his site. He admits to not being able to confirm events. Combine this with China devaluing its currency, the vulnerability of the US to power black-outs, forest fires, water disasters such as the recent gold mine poisoning, and you have the perfect storm — to include WWIII as cover for a final Wall Street looting of the US economy. There are too many emerging signals suggesting that September onwards could be quite troubling for the USA.
