Arms reduction works in Utopia, not here on Earth

Every now and then, I read something about how this or that nation is the world’s biggest importer or exporter of arms. So what? Groups that track arms sales never explain the context. Who’s buying the weapons, and for what reason? Arms in and of themselves don’t matter. It’s the people who own them who…

Iranian military leader confirms plan to cause Armageddon

Paging Sean Penn. Mr. Penn? You said that the traditional Iranian chant of “Death to America!” shouldn’t be taken literally. What do you make of this? Iran has prepared almost 200,000 young men in countries across the Middle East to help with the arrival of the Mahdi, a Muslim leader who will usher in justice prior to…

Ali Gharib will be eating his words fairly soon

When Israel began defending herself against Hamas in June of 2014, I decided to debunk Pallywood video and photos. Almost immediately a man named Ali Gharib contacted me. He misrepresented himself in order to get the interview. It didn’t bother me that a man with a Muslim name wanted to talk to me. I wasn’t…

Reductionism is fun, but it won’t solve any of our problems

One of my genuine hatreds in life is reductionism, the attempt to reduce extremely complicated issues to a soundbite. In my experience, most people who do this are narcissistic gasbags. Through the magic of reductionism, the current conflict in the Middle East is described as Sunni versus Shi’ite. This is simply not true. The reality…

The things I do for the people who want to know the truth. I’m in agony right now because of my back, but this is too important put off. Brace yourselves. We’re in for a bumpy ride. At the end of it is sunshine—maybe forever. First, some lines from Wilfred Owen. Bent double, like old…

The mullahs decide to accelerate their extinction

I’m posting early today because I have to go to Los Angeles International Airport and meet my brother Eric in about two hours. But I just wanted to point out that Iran has chosen extinction over survival. The mullahs have, I mean. Iran itself will be liberated fairly soon. It’s clear to me that the…

Israel confirms: Death to the mullahs

Today Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to the United Nations General Assembly. He made his intentions crystal clear: death to the mullahs. I don’t understand why everybody keeps pretending that the UN is anything except a giant mental asylum. Here’s part of Netanyahu’s speech. Last month, [Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah] Khamenei once again made…

Can we stop lying about everything?

I’m not political. Not in the slightest. But I hate liars. So even though I’m not a conservative or a liberal, I’m going to debunk this ridiculous piece of garbage that someone sent me. The sender has only himself to blame. I want everyone to stop lying. If that means I gore your ox, too…

The only open-minded person on social media

I’M EXAGGERATING! Calm down. Actually there are lots of open-minded people on social media. But it’s interesting that a person who I was warned to avoid because she’s “an extremist” has actually been one of the least-rigid Twitter users I’ve encountered. She’s very passionate and opinionated—but every time I’ve given her food for thought, she’s…

The Iranian mullahs enter their final days

Big news for the Iranian mullahs. WASHINGTON (AP) — Overcoming ferocious opposition, President Barack Obama secured a legacy-defining foreign policy victory Wednesday as Senate Democrats clinched the necessary votes to ensure the Iran nuclear agreement survives in Congress. The decisive 34th commitment came from Maryland Democrat Barbara Mikulski, who is retiring next year after three…
