Why The Neutralist? The term Isolationist implies a narrow Fortress America outlook and is used as an epithet. The term Neutralist does not indicate someone hiding out from the world. No one calls the Swiss isolationists. The Wilsonian world view is old, tired and wrong. Our interventions have been less and less successful and now the failure can no longer be covered up.

Links to read - December 31, 2019

The most important link today is at the Grayzone and is by the impresario, Max Blumenthal.  DC's Atlantic Council raked in funding from Hunter Biden's corruption-stained employer while courting his VP father.  Yeah, Trump is no prize and he should be impeached for what Bush and Obama should  have been impeached for, a murderous foreign policy.

But, the Bidens both deserve to be investigated, and, in all probability, prosecuted.  A lot of others deserve to go to the wall for the contrived war in Ukraine.

Scott Horton at antiwar.com has some history of how we got to where we are today and it ain't pretty. Read It doesn't have to be this way.

Over at Colonel Pat Lang's Sic Semper Tyrannis committee of correspondence, commenter and contributor The Twisted Genius (or TTG as abbreviated) has a posting, Idlib Battle Footage.  You can watch the war, but the more important aspect of the posting is in the comments where TTG answers questions.

Example:

"Those "jihadists" seem even better equiped that the SAA...at least at uniforms level...
(the commenter) wonders where all those new uniforms with the IS and HTS banners embroidened are produced....
On the other hand, to built such a network of trenches, tunnels, and bunkers, in that size and durability, provided even with electric light, is it not necessary to have knowledge of some engineering branches?
It does not seem possible to have them by some radicalized thugs at a mosque anywhere, but by a well funded, organized and trainned army...."
TTG's reply:

"those jihadists are well funded, organized and trained. Years at war does that to you. They also receive plenty of support from Gulf royals and Turkey. We and our allies have provided them with modern antitank and antiaircraft missiles. I wish they were just angry and frustrated men in a mosque. Unfortunately, many are quite intelligent and capable soldiers."

This is, as the late Larry Glick put it, "The story behind the story."  You won't get it from the Imperial Media.  The US' culpability can not be exposed enough.

Hysteria is as American as apple pie - Colonel Pat Lang goes over some past panics to put our current  climate obsession in perspective: If you believe that climate change will kill us all...

As someone not completely opposed to the peasantry storming the castles,  class warfare is of some interest.  Class war does not always go the way one would expect.  Over at American Affairs the editor, Julius Krein, looks at the subject of the tiny top class and the managers as The Real Class War.

The current presidential campaign has a lot of Dems who all kinda sound alike on the so-called debate stage except one.  She might sound like the rest if it were not for what they seem to be ignoring.  Doug Bandow at AmConMag gives us Tulsi Gabbard: Wake Up and Smell Our $6.4 Trillion Wars.

When President Obama introduced John Brennan to the public, I thought him a goofy guy.  Brennan seems even goofier now.  Scott Horton talking with Aaron Maté who has done a deep dive on the Dangerous Precedent of ‘Russiagate’


Did anyone expect anything different from the Imperial Media? From Caitlin Johnstone: Surprise! MSM Spins OPCW Leak As Russian Disinfo
