Ambassador Mike Huckabee Secretly Meets Top Israeli Spy Jonathan Pollard: Let’s remove both Huckabee and Israel from American foreign policy
by Philip Giraldi

Why is a sitting U.S. ambassador holding private meetings with one of the most infamous spies in American history — behind closed doors?

U.S. Ambassador to Israel **Mike Huckabee** quietly met with **Jonathan Pollard** — a man convicted of selling U.S. secrets to a foreign government and blamed by intelligence officials for incalculable damage to national security.

The meeting wasn’t publicly announced.
The White House reportedly wasn’t informed.
And the American public only found out after the fact.

So what does it mean when it involves “allies”?
Who authorized it?
And whose interests are really being served?

Did Donald Trump Score a Couple of “Wins”?
Or is it all a deception?
by Philip Giraldi

Philip Giraldi’s analysis of recent political developments revisits the notion of “wins” attributed to Donald Trump, situating them within broader geopolitical dynamics and the shifting architecture of U.S. power. The essay underscores how symbolic victories can obscure deeper strategic liabilities, particularly in the domains of foreign influence, intelligence operations, and Middle Eastern realignments.

By highlighting perspectives often excluded from mainstream narratives, this piece contributes to a more nuanced understanding of executive action, diplomatic signaling, and the long-term implications of policy decisions framed as successes.

The U.S. 'Bait and Switch' Operation Targeting Putin’s 'Root Cause' Principles
by Alastair Crooke
https://www.unz.com/acrooke/the-u-s-bait-and-switch-operation-targeting-putins-root-cause-principles/

How should the United States engage with Russia’s leadership in a way that addresses underlying strategic principles rather than short-term political narratives?

This article examines the idea that recent U.S. policy toward Vladimir Putin functions as a “bait and switch,” obscuring deeper questions about security guarantees, spheres of influence, and long-term geopolitical stability. It explores how focusing on personalities and media narratives may distract from the structural causes driving the conflict.

Is it time to make new rules for a new era? 🤔

With AI technology becoming more advanced, should we regulate how it's used–or is that going too far? A thought-provoking article argues that it should be illegal to use AI to deceive people. But where should the line be drawn? 🚦

I’ve got absolutely no problem with outright government censorship in this case, and I say this as an aggressive and outspoken proponent of free speech.

Ever wonder what happens when long-ignored books — many written by respected scholars and journalists — challenge the “official” version of history? 🤔

I just read an eye-opening deep dive into three dozen obscure books whose claims could reshape major parts of 20th-century history. From World War II narratives to suppressed research and forgotten political controversies, these works raise questions we rarely hear in mainstream discussions.

What makes this even more intriguing? The article’s author used AI-assisted fact-checking to test the accuracy of these controversial claims — and the results were surprisingly strong.

Here are a few things that stood out:
✨ Some forgotten authors documented events and motives that never made it into standard textbooks.
✨ Several once-mainstream ideas were later buried or dismissed — sometimes for political reasons, not academic ones.
✨ Many of these writers weren’t fringe voices at all, but credible thinkers whose work simply disappeared from public view.

🗣 Let’s talk:

Do you think important historical perspectives get lost over time?

What’s a book you’ve read that challenged your understanding of history?

Would you want more of these forgotten works brought back into public conversation?
