  • Nasrullah: Saudi has declared war on Lebanon
    • Thomas 11/11/2017 at 3:55 pm

      Jared Kushner rumored to be the brains behind the firing of FBI director James Comey and the purchase of 666 Fifth Avenue is diligently seeking peace in the ME, if that means getting funding for his failed real estate venture it only goes to prove that god is on his side. With Jared at the helm, peace will come the Netanyahu way, out of the barrel of a gun.

  • Syria: If ISIL is dire threat, why isn't its Defeat bigger News?
    • Thomas 11/09/2017 at 10:32 pm

      What caused the dearth of news coverage of the recent election on Fox news? Saudi Arabia and Israel who aided ISIL, see the defeat of ISIL in Syria as catastrophic, the US seems lukewarm at best with Rex Tillerson saying "President Bashar al-Assad and his family have no role in the future of Syria"

  • Saudi Saturday Night Massacre: Billionaire Bin Talal, dozens of others Arrested
    • Thomas 11/05/2017 at 5:06 pm

      November 4th, the day in history Iranian students seized the US embassy in Tehran, present day nov 4th, MBS moves on rivals inside the KSA also the day we hear the shocking news of the resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri while visiting Saudi Arabia.
      Benjamin Netanyahu marks news of the resignation by calling for the international community to take action on Iran.
      Hariri's resignation,seems to me, is an appalling betrayal of the Lebanese people, setting the stage for two actors, Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Benjamin Netanyahu who by past actions, have no qualms about destroying whole nations, to run amuck, with the blessing of Donald Trump.

  • Upshot of Mueller Probe: Putin did to US what we did to Iran and Iraq
    • Thomas 10/31/2017 at 9:39 pm

      Putin's payback -payday...Trump almost seems like a member of the Putin crime family, looking at the massive corruption in the GOP, what would stop Putin from exporting his criminal enterprise to the US?

  • Tillerson tells Iraqi Shiite Militias to "go home." Sad.
    • Thomas 10/23/2017 at 1:46 pm

      I'm wondering what is this Utopian vision of "democracy " in the ME we keep hearing about?.....Iraq, Iran,Syria and Lebanon in ruins while KSA terrorists and playboys run wild and Israel is free to finish up their ethnic cleansing operations?

  • Meryl Streep calls out Trump: Having Bully-in-Chief Coarsens whole Culture
    • Thomas 01/09/2017 at 3:46 pm

      Do you really think comrade Trump is going to help the suffering people in this country? I have a strong feeling that the only people who will benefit will be the Trump family, Trump cronies and Vladimir Putin.

      But it's ok for famous, reality TV star, Trump, dripping with money, to use his fame to "pronounce on political matters" why? Pussy grabbing? Racism? Collusion with hostile governments? Not paying taxes? Not paying his contractors? You tell me.

  • Winners and Losers in 5 Years of Syrian Civil War
    • Thomas 03/13/2016 at 4:08 pm

      Will the Saudi's unleash their unholy sectarian frenzy in Lebanon, as they have Syria, other places? That would make Lebanon and the world a big loser.

  • Thank You for Your Support
    • Thomas 01/12/2017 at 2:23 am

      Thank you so much for all of your hard work in this most worthy endeavor.

  • SOPA & PIPA Blackout Day
    • T.Sullivan 01/18/2012 at 12:25 am

      I glad to see you support this action,I just saw former Sen. Dodd now CEO of MPAA quoted in Raw Story...... "some technology business interests are resorting to stunts that punish their users or turn them into their corporate pawns"...."corporate pawns" indeed.
