Scoundrel Media Fake News on Aleppo by Stephen Lendman For the first time since mid-2012, nearly all eastern Aleppo residents are free from captivity - held against their will as human shields by US-supported terrorists. Ain’t the way deplorable media scoundrels see it, blasting out fake news headlines and reports - supporting Obama’s genocidal war, mocking the suffering of Syrians and all people devastated by US barbarism. Below is a sampling of the latest contemptible headlines on Aleppo, despicable fake news, the real kind, not what neocon infested Washington and media scoundrels supporting them claim. New York Times, world leader in proliferating fake news, none of it fit ...

Celebratory Joy in Aleppo by Stephen Lendman Holiday season arrived early in Aleppo, the city almost entirely freed from its US-supported terrorist scourge. According to Russia’s reconciliation center, “(i)n the past 24 hours, the Syrian troops have liberated another 11 quarters of eastern Aleppo.” “Thus, Syrian government now controls over 98% of the territory of Aleppo. The total area of the eastern Aleppo’s quarters where militants still remain, is no more than three square kilometers” - a surrounded area to be mopped up in short order. Jihadists capitulated, decisively defeated. Withdrawal of small remaining elements remains to be completed, likely by ...

The NYT Portrays Aleppo’s Liberation As Bad News by Stephen Lendman The Times makes painful reading, even for a scoundrel media critic like myself, the broadsheet my main target because of its global reach and influence. It publishes all fake news all the time on issues mattering most, legitimate journalism entirely discarded, vital hard truths suppressed. Instead of welcoming Syria’s glorious triumph over US-supported terrorists infesting Aleppo, its residents celebrating their liberation, expressing heartfelt thanks to government and allied forces, The Times headlined “Aleppo Close to Falling Under Complete Control of Syrian Government,” saying: “The last ...

Islamic State militants used a break in the US-led coalition’s advance against them to launch offensive in Palmyra, while counting on the fact that Russia will not conduct airstrikes on residential areas, the Russian Defense Ministry said. The setback shows that terrorists should not be given the opportunity to regroup. “Seizing on the suspension of active military action near Al-Raqqah till spring by the US and international coalition, Islamic State devoted considerable forces to storm Palmyra,” the ministry spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov said on Monday. Konashenkov said that Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorists knew that the Russian Air Force would ...

Armchair General Rex Tillerson is Exxon-Mobil. He made a deal with Vladimir Putin in 2011 that was said to be worth $500 billion, before sanctions were imposed on Russia. He opposes sanctions saying they don’t work. Tillerson has spent more time with Vladimir Putin than any American other than Henry Kissinger. Qatar is Exxon-Mobil. Qatar just bought 19.5 percent of Rosneft, making several billion US dollars revenue for Russian government in spite of US sanctions. Saudi put its money on CIA/Clinton gangsters who are trying not to lose power after they lost the election. Russia-Saudi now agree on oil production cuts, ensuring oil price will be stable. Trump is a deal maker, Putin is a ...

The Battle for Palmyra by Stephen Lendman Reports on Syrian forces battling ISIS for control over Palmyra indicate its fighters seized at least most of the city. AMN News and South Front reported thousands of ISIS fighters took control of the city after initially being repelled. Government forces are regrouping for a counterattack. Russian media report city residents were evacuated. According to Sputnik News: “After the evacuation of all residents (Saturday) night, the Syrian Army has completely left the city of Palmyra. Fierce fighting against Daesh jihadists is going on in the city suburbs.” Thousands of ISIS fighters were redeployed from Mosul, Raqqa and Deir Ezzor with ...

Aleppo Nearly Free At Last by Stephen Lendman Obama devoted his entire tenure to waging war on humanity at home and abroad - aiding militarized police turn US inner city communities into battlegrounds, while raping and destroying one country after another. Lock ‘em up should apply to him along with Hillary and their partners in high crimes. The viciousness of US policies shows no limits, a merciless rogue state, none earlier matching its pure evil - humanity’s survival threatened if it’s not challenged and stopped. The long battle for Aleppo’s near liberation is a drop of good news in an ocean US-caused mass slaughter, destruction and human misery globally. ...

The NYT Won’t Quit Misreporting on Syria by Stephen Lendman Readers relying on The Times for news on Syria likely confuse good guys with bad ones. They likely think cutthroat killers, imported from scores of countries, called “moderate rebels” are on the side of the angels, government and allied forces, greatly aided by Russian air power and intelligence, responsible for years of carnage. Reliable independent media followers know what’s going on - polar opposite what The Times and other media scoundrels report - truth-telling v. pure rubbish. The latest Times report was more disgraceful deception, heading “ ‘We Are Dead Either Way:’ Agonizing Choices ...

Palmyra Again Reportedly Seized by ISIS by Stephen Lendman According to Tass and other reports, an ISIS offensive against Palmyra was beaten back overnight Saturday by Syrian and Russian forces. On Sunday, RT International reported a second ISIS attempt to take the city, involving around 4,000 (US-supported) fighters. According to a Russian military statement, “IS has dispatched a considerable force to Palmyra from” Raqqa and other areas. Heavy fighting continues. Despite losses in manpower, weapons and equipment, “the terrorists seek to come as close as possible and gain a foothold in the city, as the Russian Air Force is not conducting airstrikes against residential ...

War Criminal John Kerry Awarded France’s Legion of Honor for Peacemaking by Stephen Lendman Maybe next year’s Nobel Peace Prize will follow. Western societies honor war criminals like Henry Kissinger, Obama, Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, John Kerry and many others. Peace champions are vilified, persecuted or shunned. On Saturday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault presented Kerry with France’s Legion of Honor - established by Napoleon in 1802, its highest award for notable military and civil service. One war criminal honored another, Ayrault shamefully saying Kerry earned the award for “his indefatigable efforts in favor of peace.” Supporting all US wars ...

NYT Calls Aleppo’s Liberation “Chaos and Desperation” by Stephen Lendman The Times supports all US wars of aggression, suppressing its responsibility for genocidal mass slaughter - proving America represents unparalleled pure evil, humanity’s greatest threat. The Times is a lying machine, supporting what demands condemnation, along with all other media scoundrels, substituting rubbish for real news, information and analysis. For the first time in over four years, tens of thousands of Aleppo residents are now free from captivity as human shields by US-supported terrorists - no longer fearing their brutality. The Times disgracefully lied, claiming ...

Neocons Urge War on Iran by Stephen Lendman Bipartisan neocons infest Washington, supporting endless wars of aggression - Iran a prime target to attack, regime change the objective, wanting pro-Western puppet governance replacing its sovereign independence. Will Trump challenge their extremism or join them, a key question remaining to be answered? United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is a militant anti-Iranian group for war and regime change - on the phony pretext of preventing the nation from obtaining nuclear weapons it doesn’t want, and stopping its nonexistent “support for terrorism and gross human rights violations.” It’s chaired by former neocon senator Joe ...

Russia, Syria Denounce Pro-War General Assembly Resolution by Stephen Lendman US dirty hands are behind it, Canada used to introduce it, disgracefully serving as an imperial agent instead of seeking regional peace and stability. The draft resolution passed 122 to 13 - Syria, Russia, China and Iran strongly opposing it - calling for cessation of hostilities in eastern Aleppo to benefit US-backed terrorists, without addressing their withdrawal from remaining pockets - including animals posing as moderates. Russian UN envoy Vitaly Churkin called them “phantom(s),” jihadist extremists pretending otherwise. In General Assembly debate, he said they’re “gushing into the ...

The Syrian army now controls 93% of the city’s territory.” Since October 18, no Russian or Syrian warplanes were involved, courageous ground forces doing the job themselves, now close to triumph. ...

Tulsi Gabbard’s Stop Arming Terrorists Act by Stephen Lendman Among the reported eight or so candidates Trump is considering for secretary of state, one possible choice more deserving than names mentioned is omitted - Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, the state’s most popular politician. “(W)hen it comes to the war against terrorists, I’m a hawk,” she said. “When it comes to counterproductive wars of regime change, I’m a dove." She opposed condemning Bashar al-Assad, saying targeting him was “a thinly veiled attempt to use the rationale of ‘humanitarianism’ as a justification to escalate our illegal, counterproductive war” - its aim ...

Obama Formally Approves Arming Terrorists in Syria by Stephen Lendman They’ve been armed with heavy weapons from America and its rogue allies all along - on the phony pretext of supporting nonexistent “moderate rebels.” All anti-government fighters are cutthroat killers, death squad terrorists, largely recruited from scores of countries - armed, funded, trained and directed by CIA operatives, US special forces and their NATO counterparts. Russia/US talks in Geneva on removing all terrorists from Aleppo reflect the latest US deception. Obama has no intention of abandoning his naked aggression on millions of Syrians. He’s already responsible for displacing half the ...

Conference Sees Calls to Start Sinking Ships, Bombing Iranian Forces in Syria United Against a Nuclear Iran (UANI), an organization packed to the gills with a bipartisan who’s who of hawkish figures, held an event on the “Future of Iran Policy” in Washington DC. Unsurprising, given the list of attendees, the future they envision is war, and lots of it. The event headlined by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R – FL) and former Sen. Joe Lieberman saw calls to “restore coercion” against Iran, with several figures advocating that the US accept the limits of sanctions alone by sinking Iranian naval vessels in the Persian Gulf. This call, pushed by Lieberman and ...

Neocon Senators Urge Trump to Send More Lethal Aid to Ukraine Than Already by Stephen Lendman Ukraine is an illegitimate US-installed putschist police state, fascism in Europe’s heartland, at war with its own people, encouraged by Washington, supplying its regime with lethal aid all along. Bipartisan neocon senators want more. Led by minority whip Dick Durbin (D. IL) and Rob Portman (R. OH), they disgracefully lied to Trump in a letter, saying: “Russia has launched a military land-grab in Ukraine that is unprecedented in modern European history.” Fact: Utter rubbish! No “land-grab” occurred nor is any planned. Crimeans overwhelmingly voted to rejoin Russian. ...

“In recent years, Chinese agents have extracted data on some of the most advanced weapons and weapons systems in the US arsenal, such as jet fighters and unmanned submersible vehicles,” states the annual report of the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, released on November 16. “The loss of these and other sensitive defense technologies undermines US military superiority by accelerating China’s military modernization and giving China insight into the capabilities and operation of US weapons and weapons systems,” the report adds. The espionage operations are not limited to direct spying activities against the United States and include intelligence ...

Aleppo was again discussed. Russia’s Foreign Ministry said both officials agreed on a need to resume talks under the UN auspices. The key condition for resolution is combating terrorism until it’s eliminated. ...

US and Rogue Allies Frantic Over Losing Aleppo by Stephen Lendman The crucially important battle for Aleppo and surrounding areas is nearly won - Syria, Russia and allied forces prevailing over America, NATO, Israel and other Middle East rogue allies. Liberating Syria entirely has miles to go, but things are heading in the right direction, Obama’s imperial agenda sustaining a major body blow, not going down easily. On December 7, a joint US, UK French, German and Canadian statement on Aleppo expressed frustration over imperial defeat, saying: “A humanitarian disaster is taking place before our very eyes.” Fact: It’s not Syria’s fault, or Russia’s, or ...

An Anti-Interventionist Trump Agenda? by Stephen Lendman Will Trump follow through responsibly on what he told supporters in Fayetteville, NC, saying: “We seek harmony and good will among the nations of the world, and we believe that respect for mutual sovereignty helps form the basis of trust and understanding.” “But we don't want people taking advantage of us anymore…We don't want that…We want to be the smart people. We don't want to be what we've been over the last long period of time.” “We build up our military not as an act of aggression, but as an act of prevention. We pursue and build up arms not in order to seek conflict, but ...

They’re “now trapped in a small area after pulling back forces from the districts on the Eastern sides of the Citadel of Aleppo and the entire Old Aleppo quarter,” according to Syria’s military.
