Easy money and … → Read More
Egypt’s El-Sisi Regime Let Mohamed Morsi Die from Medical Neglect
Morsi was Egypt’s only democratically elected president, serving from June 30, 2012 until the Obama regime orchestrated his ouster on July 3, 2013 — because he wasn’t subservient enough to US interests, wanting a ruler it controls. His toppling was reminiscent of September 11, 1973 in Chile, replacing democratically elected Salvador Allende with despotic Augusto … → Read More
Rage to Impeach Trump for the Wrong Reasons

US and Israel Escalate War on Syria
VISIT MY NEW WEB SITE: Both countries pursue regime change, wanting pro-Western puppet governance replacing Assad.

Turkey Reconsidering NATO Membership?
