“America First”: Is Trump Right About NATO?

I am “not isolationist, but I am ‘America First,'” Donald Trump told the New York Times last weekend. “I like the expression.” Of NATO, where the U.S. underwrites three-fourths of the cost of defending Europe, Trump calls this arrangement “unfair, economically, to us,” and adds, “We will not be ripped off anymore.” Beltway media may be transfixed with Twitter wars over wives and alleged infidelities. But the ideas Trump aired should ignite a national debate over U.S. overseas commitments—especially NATO. For the Donald’s ideas are not lacking for authoritative support. The first NATO supreme commander, Gen. Eisenhower, said in ...
After Brussels, Westerners face two deadly enemies — the Islamists and their governments

For twenty years now I have been arguing the obvious: namely, that as early as 1997, the Islamist problem was too big and too lethal for any U.S. intelligence service or law-enforcement agency to defeat. At that time, I suggested to my superiors at CIA that we either get permission to kill Osama bin Laden immediately — and thereby probably shatter or at least drastically weaken a still-developing al-Qaeda — or inform the president that he was facing a quickly growing Islamist enemy that would soon not only would require conventional forces to eradicate, but could not be defeated by any other force or combination of forces. I also said that to believe that the Islamist movement was ...

The mayor of San Francisco has banned all publicly-funded city employees from traveling to North Carolina. The NFL is threatening to block Atlanta, Georgia from hosting a future Super Bowl. The NBA is threatening to relocate next year’s All Star game from Charlotte, North Carolina to another city. Corporate giants like American Airlines and Hollywood giants like Disney are threatening action against Georgia and North Carolina. Why? It is because North Carolina has passed a bill requiring people to use the public bathroom or locker room that corresponds to their birth certificate gender and because Georgia has enacted legislation (yet to be signed by the governor) that would ...

Democracy is under threat from rising inequality and terrorism. Google and Facebook have taken over By now, the fact that transatlantic democratic capitalism, once the engine of postwar prosperity, has run into trouble can hardly be denied by anyone with the courage to browse a daily newspaper. Hunger, homelessness, toxic chemicals in the water supply, the lack of affordable housing: all these issues are back on the agenda, even in the most prosperous of countries. This appalling decline in living standards was some time in the making – 40 years of neoliberal policies are finally taking their toll – so it shouldn’t come as a shock. However, coupled with the spillover ...

Fidel Castro ripped into the president, bringing up Obama's relative youth.President Barack Obama did not meet with Fidel Castro during his historic visit to Cuba last week, but apparently that does not mean that Castro did not have any thoughts about el presidente norteamericano in his country. Castro ripped into the president and his words during the visit in El Granma, the official state newspaper of the Cuban Communist Party, bringing up Obama's relative youth, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the role of both countries in ending the apartheid in South Africa and elsewhere on the continent in an article titled "El hermano Obama."

In Venezuela, the government turns out the lights Venezuelan government orders three extra days off for Easter in order to reduce electricity usage. When your government asks you not to go to work for five days, to conserve power, your country is in trouble. Especially when you live in Venezuela, home to the world’s largest oil reserves. Also rich in gold and other minerals, the country is nonetheless on the brink of bankruptcy. “Venezuela is going through the worst crisis in its 200-year history,” said Jean Daudelin, a professor and Latin American specialist at Carleton University currently on sabbatical in South America. “The economy is in shambles and the ...

George W.

Belgium has turned on immigrants in the wake of the Brussels terror attack as far-right skinhead groups are experiencing a surge in popularity, promising ‘drastic action’ in the aftermath of the atrocities. Voorpost, a Belgian White Power organisation that is being closely monitored by security services, says its membership has rocketed following the carnage. ‘A huge number of people have started supporting us online. We have had more than double the number of new members in the last three days,’ Bart Vanpachtenbeke, the leader of the organisation, told MailOnline. ‘There is anger in Brussels now. I think there are dark times coming. We can’t give any ...

Yet another terrorist attack in Europe has been blamed on Islamic extremists and ISIS and yet another instance of the suspects in the attacks having been previously known to security services and intelligence agencies in the years, months, weeks, and days leading up to the event. That is exactly what happened in Brussels, Belgium on March 22, 2016. Lending credence to those who suggest that the Brussels attacks were false flags (meaning directed, orchestrated, or allowed by Western intelligence agencies), it is being reported that, yet again, the perpetrators were known to police and security services prior to the attack. This suggests a number of possibilities in the false flag vein such ...

Allah commands believers to submit but also to compel unbelievers into submission. Muslims: Muslims are people who declare, “There is no God but God. Mohammad is the messenger of God.” There are 1.4 billion Muslims in the world. The Three Texts: Islam is defined by Allah and Mohammad, period (not liable to opinion).

They love bloodshed and death, and Europe has invited them in large numbers to come to their continent and spread more of both. The political elites brought millions of these invaders into Europe. Obama wants to do the same in America, while excoriating liberty-loving Americans and saying that it is anti-Muslim to oppose his treacherous plans.

Islamic savagery in London: Muslims flay their skins with chains with razor-sharp knives attached The barbarians are at it again, and the Daily Mail, as craven as ever, practices moral equivalence: “Self-flagellation is also a rarely observed Christian tradition. In the 13th Century, a group of Roman Catholics – known as the Flagellants – went to extreme ends. They were later condemned by Rome as a cult, but the practice continues among some Catholics in the Philippines and Mexico. Some members of the Catholic lay organisation Opus Dei also practise milder self-flagellation using a whip of knotted cords.” None of these groups are drawing blood to the extent that it ...

Otto Warmbier was in North Korea with a company that offers "fun" tours of a country that murders, tortures and rapes hundreds of thousands of people Spare a thought for the parents of Otto Warmbier today. Their child is in the hands of the North Korean regime, sentenced to 15 years of hard labour for “crimes against the state”. It may well be that Mr Warmbier, a 21-year-old student at the University of Virginia, does not in fact serve that sentence. The North has a habit of bartering back Western prisoners as part of its bizarre diplomatic game with the US. But there’s no certainty of that, and if it does happen, who knows how long they’ll have to wait ...

Earlier this month, AC/DC announced the immediate departure of longtime frontman Brian Johnson citing crippling hearing issues. As the band explained it, Johnson risked “total hearing loss” if he continued touring. However, according to Johnson’s longtime friend and comedian Jim Breuer, the AC/DC singer’s hearing issues are being overblown, and Johnson feels he was unfairly “kicked to the curb.” As Ultimate Classic Rock reports, Breuer relayed a recent conversation he had with Johnson during the latest episode of his podcast. “He said that he called and let [the band] know, ‘Hey this is what the doctor said, but let’s try to figure this ...

First, according to a statement from the coast guard, warning shots were fired. The Chinese vessel, Argentine authorities said, responded by turning off its lights and deliberately trying to crash.
"On distinct occasions, the offending boat realized maneuvers aimed at colliding with the coast guard, putting not only its own crew at ...
20 things you didn'tknow about marijuana

This month, Discover has an excellent article on marijuana called "20 Things You Didn't Know About Marijuana." Turns out that marijuana did not originate in Mexico, but in China. It was first grown there in 4000 BC, and was the first cultivated crop which led to the first civilization in Asia, much like the cultivation of barley and hops {for beer) led to the first civilization in the Garden of Eden, also in 4000 BC. So the discovery of beer and marijuana is what separates modern man from prehistoric man. Marijuana is actually a variant spelling of the Chinese word for cannabis, "maren-mahua."
