I generally have focused my writings on events in the Middle East, but would like to take a few minutes to visit the violence currently erupting in Kiev, Ukraine. As you are aware, I am speaking as a westerner and cannot fully grasp the situation as a native Ukrainian. However, I will speak to you […]
Syrian government forces reinforced by Lebanese Hezbollah forces have been consolidating their control over the strategic rebel held district of Homs, which is Syria’s third largest city. Homs has been controlled by rebels in part since 2011. The recent military success by the Syrian military and Hezbollah fighters has left the rebels in retreat and […]
Tuning into the Fox and CNN “entertainment” networks, one would be lucky to catch a small bit of news between the brain numbing, around the clock reports on the Trayvon Martin Case and Anthony Weiner’s perverse antics. Nonetheless, a close follower may have gathered that “former” Egyptian President Morsi was overthrown in a broadly supported coup […]
Confirming B2Wire analysis from April 10, 2013, it appears that North Korea has put away its missiles and has now suddenly become a “non-threat.” Not so ironically, the appearance and disappearance of the “imminent” threat North Korean missiles posed to the United States directly corresponded with the implementation of Sequestration and defense cuts and then […]

What appears now to be President Obama’s imminent nomination of former Senator Chuck Hagel has caused a firestorm of criticism from traitors in our midst. In particular, Senator Hagel is under attack because he was gutsy and honest enough to state an obvious fact about the disproportionate and decidedly negative influence various Israeli lobby groups exert […]
It is rare that I would offer support to anything Washington proposes, but in the specific case of automatic cuts to the Defense Department, I can’t agree more. The rhetoric in Washington is that if we, as a nation, go over the fiscal cliff, the Department of Defense as we know it will cease to exist. […]
On the eve of the election, I am still sticking with my initial mid-May 2012 prediction that Obama will win based on an X-factor few pundits have even dared to mention less give a third-party candidate media attention. Romney has been riding a wave of enthusiasm, but contrary to what conservative pundits want you to believe, it may […]
