Blowback Denial, Climate Denial, and Apocalypse
Blowback Denial, Climate Denial, and Apocalypse Last week Donald Trump suggested something Bernie Sanders would never dare: getting rid of NATO. I took some time to read people’s comments and tweets online about it, and a huge number seemed to believe that NATO and the U.S. military have been performing a service for Europe, and […]
Deadly Blowback from Neo-Imperial Wars
Deadly Blowback from Neo-Imperial Wars Exclusive: The E.U.’s crisis – with the post-World War II project to unify Europe spinning apart amid economic stress, refugees and terrorism – can be traced back to E.U./U.S. neo-imperial wars in the Arab world, says Jonathan Marshall. In what may be the most dramatic blowback yet from Western military intervention in […]

They Sow the Cyclone – We Reap the Blowback How Uncle Sam Seeded Global Jihad and Cultivates It to This Day “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind” — Hosea 8:7 It may be surprising to hear, but it is a plain historical fact that modern international jihad originated as an instrument of US foreign […]
Ending Blowback Terrorism
Ending Blowback Terrorism NEW YORK – Terrorist attacks on civilians, whether the downing over Sinai of a Russian aircraft killing 224 civilian passengers, the horrific Paris massacre claiming 129 innocent lives, or the tragic bombing in Ankara that killed 102 peace activists, are crimes against humanity.

Every Position On The Spectrum Supports The Government’s Propaganda — Paul Craig Roberts
Every Position On The Spectrum Supports The Government’s Propaganda — Paul Craig Roberts This excellent article by Glenn Greenwald — http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article43438.htm — reminded me that I have meant to write about how every sort of interest attaches to the government’s propaganda in order to make its point. Greenwald shows how the Snowden haters in the US media […]
Blowback—–The Washington War Party’s Folly Comes Home To Roost
Blowback—–The Washington War Party’s Folly Comes Home To Roost Exactly 26 years ago last week, peace was breaking out in a manner that the world had not experienced since June 1914. The Berlin Wall—-the symbol of a century of state tyranny, grotesque mass warfare and the nuclear sword of Damocles hanging over the planet—-had come tumbling down […]
Paris and What Should Be Done
Paris and What Should Be Done The horrific attacks in Paris on Friday have, predictably, led to much over-reaction and demands that we do more of the exact things that radicalize people and make them want to attack us. The French military wasted no time bombing Syria in retaliation for the attacks, though it is […]
Blowback or False Flag in Paris?
Blowback or False Flag in Paris? It’s too soon to know for sure. Given French complicity with ongoing US state terror throughout the Middle East, North Africa and elsewhere, odds strongly favor the latter. Multiple likely well-planned Friday night attacks in Paris had a disturbing aroma to them – including France’s knee-jerk police state reaction. […]

ISIS is US: the Empire and the Evil Genie It Released Picturing Papal Petrification The reigning politics and media culture of the United States is not without moments of high comic relief. Three weeks ago, for example, CNN’s Chris Cuomo presented the buffoonish Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump with a bizarre hypothetical situation. What would […]
Charlie Hebdo and the ‘Blowback’ Debate
Charlie Hebdo and the ‘Blowback’ Debate The vicious murder of the editors and writers of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris has had an effect similar to the hysteria that followed the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon: demands that we invade Iraq (again!) and also Syria, as well as a campaign of vilification directed at anyone who dares […]
Lessons from Paris
Lessons from Paris After the tragic shooting at a provocative magazine in Paris last week, I pointed out that given the foreign policy positions of France we must consider blowback as a factor. Those who do not understand blowback made the ridiculous claim that I was excusing the attack or even blaming the victims. Not […]

Activist Post: Blowback And The Incompetence Theory. Amidst a rash of terror attacks in Canada, the general public is once again witnessing a discussion playing out in the mainstream media as to the solutions and appropriate responses to international Islamic terror. As usual, these solutions and responses involve the bombing, invasion, or general destruction of […]
Canada Hit by Blowback |
Canada Hit by Blowback |. On October 16,press reports informed us that Canada was about to “update” its national security legislation to, you guessed it, better fight terrorism. Specifically, this new legislation is ostensibly designed to not only better counter actual terrorism, but “potential” terrorism: “Canada’s Minister of Public Safety joined justice ministers from across the country in […]
