Ranking first this last week was part one of Thomas Dalton’s lengthy analysis of the enormous but almost entirely hidden Jewish role in both world wars, republished from a few years ago.  Much of this information was widely discussed at the time, but afterward was excluded from mainstream histories of the era, eventually being forgotten by recent generations.

Placing second was David William Pear’s sharp demolition of the political history of Trump Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, arguing that he had clearly committed perjury in his past appearances before Congressional panels and instead of holding a place on our highest court deserved jail for his legal violations.

Our third most popular featured article was the Saker’s discussion of the new Russian shipment of their powerful S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems to Syria, and implications this will have for the ongoing conflict, arguing that it will sharply restrict future violations of Syrian airspace by Israeli planes, which over the last few years had undertaken some 200 bombing raids on targets in that country.

Philip Giraldi’s fourth ranking piece discussed an upcoming protest march in DC aimed at the exceptionally provocative and dangerous national security policies of the Trump Administration, as suggested by the recent statement by the U.S. Ambassador to NATO that America reserved the right to launch military attacks against missile targets in Russia which the Administration believed were in violation of various treaty obligations.  The notion of a top American official casually claiming that the U.S. had every right to attack military bases in nuclear-armed Russia at will is simply beyond insane, and raises severe doubts about our current political system.

Fifth place was a strongly favorable discussion of FoxNews TV star Tucker Carlson and his new book, which provides a very harsh critique of America’s ruling political class, including both Democrats and Republicans.

Finally, rounding out our most popular featured articles was Anatoly Karlin’s detailed discussion of the necessary steps for Russia to take towards its hostile Ukraine neighbor going forward.
