Angela Merkel in Washington by Stephen Lendman Merkel’s meeting with Trump was strained at best, given his earlier disparaging remarks about her. “What Merkel did to Germany is a shame,” he said. “It is sad, sad shame what’s happened to Germany.” “I have friends in Germany. They want to leave…These are people that two years ago were telling me that it’s the greatest place on earth and now they want to leave.” “I don’t know what happened to her. I don’t know what her thinking was, but I don’t think they are going to recover from it very easily if at all.” He referred to Merkel’s willingness to accept large ...
US Airstrike Hit North Syria Mosque, Killing Scores

Pentagon Says Attack Meant to Target al-Qaeda Meeting Nearby New evidence is emerging on yesterday‘s bombing of a mosque in the Northwest Syrian village of al-Jineh, in the Aleppo Province, with reports of rising death tolls and recovered pieces of the bomb showing that it was, in fact, a US airstrike. The Pentagon had initially denied that they had attacked the mosque, but did claim that they attacked an “al-Qaeda meeting” right across the street from it. They even went so far as to speculate that someone else might’ve just happened to bomb the mosque around the same time. The recovery of US bomb fragments from the mosque, however, changed this narrative, with ...
The Noxious U.S.-Saudi Relationship Should End

Steven Cook comes to a strange conclusion about the future of the U.S.-Saudi relationship: It is not that the U.S. shouldn’t walk away from Saudi Arabia because it is a major oil producer and a partner in the fight against terrorism, or because the bilateral relationship has benefited Washington. The larger issue is that if Saudi Arabia is left to its own devices, it will sow more chaos in the Middle East. Cook does a very good job summing up the enormous harm that the Saudis have done in recent years and the incompetence of their more meddlesome foreign policy, but I’m not buying the conclusion that we have to maintain the current relationship with them so that they ...

Tillerson arrives in China for talks on North Korea US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has arrived in China for talks on how to rein in nuclear-armed North Korea. The two powers are at odds over the best way to deal with threats from the rogue state. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Saturday after touching town in Beijing for the final leg of his East Asia tour. He was expected to meet China's top foreign policy official Yang Jiechi later in the day, a Chinese Foreign Ministry official said. A possible sit-down with President Xi Jinping on Sunday has not yet been confirmed. The talks are expected to focus on North Korea's nuclear ...
Trump: Yet Another War President?

Is Donald Trump going to be yet another American war president? Come to think of it, is there any other kind? This is no accident. Tom Engelhardt has an insightful article at TomDispatch today about how Trump the blowhard is a product of blowback from America’s failed wars, notably Iraq. There’s much truth in this insight, since it’s hard to imagine demagogue Trump’s rise to power in a pacific climate. Trump arose in a climate of fear: fear of the Other, especially of the terrorist variety, but also of any group that can be marginalized and vilified. Think of Mexicans and the infamous Wall, for example. In a separate post, Engelhardt noted the recent death of Marilyn ...

PressTV... Russia has summoned the Israeli ambassador to Moscow for clarification after Israeli warplanes violated the Syrian airspace and conducted a number of airstrikes on the Arab country’s territory. Israeli media said Gary Koren was summoned by the Russian Foreign Ministry on Friday, a day after the Israeli envoy presented his credentials to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Earlier on Friday, the Syrian army announced in a statement that Israeli fighter jets “penetrated” Syrian airspace via Lebanese territory and “hit a military target on the way to Palmyra” overnight. The statement added that the army's air defense shot down one of the aircraft and ...
Putin Prepares For Invasion of Europe With Massive Cuts to Military Spending

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the world has enjoyed an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity. Long gone are the days of wasteful military expenditures and no-bid contracts to build airplanes and aircraft carriers that neither fly nor float. The permanent wartime economy that was never dismantled after World War II is ancient history. There is simply no longer any justification for spending many gazillions of dollars each year on Raytheon space lasers. In the United States, jet fighter factories now manufacture lawn mowers and Segways. We are living in good times. Sensible times. But all that we've accomplished over the last 25-odd years is now being threatened by one man. ...

Each year, the State Department issues dozens of advisories with the intent of keeping Americans safe as they travel abroad. What countries are targeted by these advisories, and what risks do Americans face by visiting them? Are State Department advisories effective in keeping American travelers safe? We decided to investigate what are the most dangerous countries for American to visit as measured by State Department warnings and also by actual deaths. We used data from Priceonomics customer data.world, a platform that ties many different data sets together so it's easy to analyze them (you can download their dataset here). We found that Mexico, Mali, and Israel have been targeted by ...

Something BIG is Afoot in Shanghai. The Chinese Have CHANGED THE GAME Suddenly. The Jig Is Up. From the Chinese Reaction in the Gold Market, Expect the Path to the Global Currency RESET to be Entered HERE AND NOW WITH URGENCY: A contact at Evolution Consulting has reported that his best contact notified him that VIPs are being invited to take tours of the Shanghai Gold Exchange operation. This man was among one of the guests. These tours are not being arranged in some congenial welcoming event, not at all. Rather they are informational and official in granted preview. They are almost surely being staged to inform the opposition that it is all over for them now. With a cherry on top, the ...
How To End the Korean War

You mean you didn’t know it never ended? What in the name of all that’s holy is going on in North Korea? This question is always hard to answer because they don’t call it the Hermit Kingdom for nothing. Very little comes out of the notoriously reclusive – and repressive – Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, and not that much gets in. But occasionally there is a burst of activity that, like the eruption of a volcano, is hard to miss – the recent launching of four ballistic missiles being one of them. The missiles landed in the Sea of Japan, about 190 miles off the Japanese coast, sending shockwaves throughout the region. Both Tokyo and Seoul protested, ...
Zakharova Tears UN Commissioner New Cornhole For ‘Rewriting History’ of Syrian War

RI... The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights says Syria is now a giant Assad "torture chamber". Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova thinks otherwise March 15 marked six years of illegal war against President Bashar Assad and the Syrian people — and the media (and apparently multifarious officials at the United Nations) are mourning for all the "moderate" rebels who have perished. Here's how France 24 marked the anniversary of an illegal, western manufactured war against Syria: On March 15, 2011, protesters took to the streets in “a day of rage” demonstrations against the Syrian regime. Six years and more than 300,000 ...

After Destroying Cambodia, the U.S. Wants the Country to Repay It For The Bombs They Dropped

Cambodians are responding with outrage to the U.S. government’s demand that the country repay a nearly 50-year-old loan to Cambodia’s brutal Lon Nol government, which came to power through a U.S.-backed coup and spent much of its foreign funds purchasing arms to kill its own citizens, according to Cambodia’s current prime minister Hun Sen. While the U.S. was backing the Lon Nol government, it was also strafing the Cambodian countryside with bombs—a carpet-bombing campaign that would eventually see over 500,000 tons of explosives dropped on the small Asian country, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians and leaving a legacy of unexploded ordnances. “[The U.S.] ...

Two high-level government child trafficking rings busted and American media is silent

In late 2016, the government’s spin machine made it a point to feature “pizza gate,” only to mock anyone who would ever believe it to be true. The thought that high-level government officials in the U.S. would or could ever be involved in sex-trafficking or pedophilia was presented as far-fetched conspiracy theory, only believed by the fringe elements of society. But as The Free Thought Project has reported on numerous occasions, pedophilia involving high-level government officials is becoming the norm rather than the exception. In the North Bengal region of India, a child welfare officer, India’s equivalent of a Child Protective Services official was arrested for her ...

PressTV... The United States has indicted two Russian intelligence officers over a cyberattack, the first such move against Russian officials by Washington. The Department of Justice leveled charges against two Russian security services officers and two hackers on Wednesday over a massive breach of Yahoo user accounts. According to AFP, the data breach compromised 500 million Yahoo accounts which is in one of the largest cyberattacks in history. The indictment links Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) to the hacking operation which began in 2014 with the alleged goals of espionage and financial benefits.

RI... Moscow denies any direct involvement in Libya, but we see bear tracks. A Libyan commander with ties to Moscow has just recaptured two key oil ports, Sidra and Ras Lanuf, from "Islamist militias" (fanatics affiliated with al-Qaeda) that seized them earlier this month. Khalifa Haftar, commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA), has previously asked Moscow for weapons and equipment, and had a January meeting with the Russians aboard their aircraft carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov, en route back to Syria. The LNA actually lost control of Sidra and Ras Lanuf on March 3, when the Benghazi Defence Brigades (BDB) and "former Ibrahim Jadhran loyalists and units from other allied ...

While Americans continue to be distracted by the discussion over Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, geopolitical tension around the proxy war in Syria has escalated to levels that could lead to regional warfare or open conflict between nuclear superpowers Russia and the United States, as described by military officials from multiple countries. US Army General Joseph Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated that a “no-fly zone” in Syria would lead to war with Russia, during a September 22 Senate committee hearing. Hillary Clinton also admitted similar risks of the military policy she supports for the Syria war, saying “you’re going to kill a lot of ...
Federal Courts Say Foreigners, Not US Citizens, Are Entitled To Due Process — Paul Craig Roberts

The US Constitution applies to US citizens, and the amendments known as the Bill of Rights guarantee due process as a protection of US citizens’ civil liberties. That’s the theory but not the practice. Trump’s travel ban applies to non-US citizens, primarily to refugees from the Bush/Obama bombings of numerous Muslim countries. Some of these refugees, whose families and countries were destroyed by American troops, could harbor feelings of revenge against Americans. The Ninth Circuit Panel’s injunction against Trump’s executive order gives the Constitution’s protection of US citizens to non-citizens, apparently on the basis of due process and religious ...

PressTV... Russia has categorically dismissed Western media reports claiming it deployed special forces to an Egyptian town near conflict-ridden Libya. “There are no Russian special forces in Sidi Barrani. Certain Western media have been stirring the public with such mud-slinging from anonymous sources for years,” Major General Igor Konashenkov, the Russian Defense Ministry spokesman, said Tuesday. The remarks came a day after Reuters quoted unnamed US and Egyptian military and diplomatic sources as saying that Russia had deployed a 22-member unit of special forces and several drones to an Egyptian airbase near the Libyan border. Egypt’s Defense Ministry has already ...

According to a press release released Friday by the office of Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Sen. Rand Paul has introduced their bill, the Stop Arming Terrorists Act, in the U.S. Senate. The bipartisan legislation (H.R.608 and S.532) aims to prohibit any federal agency from using taxpayer dollars to provide weapons, cash, intelligence, or any support to al-Qaeda, ISIS, and other terrorist groups. It would also prohibit the government from funneling money and weapons through other countries that are directly or indirectly supporting terrorists. Gabbard said: “For years, the U.S. government has been supporting armed militant groups working directly with and often under the command of terrorist ...

The Six-Percent Solution I have gotten many hundreds of emails–OK, three emails, but I am rounding up–asking me whether there is a super-race. There are different views on this matter, discussion being carried on with the manners of a hockey match. For people who have better things to do than study abnormal psychology, the players are briefly as follows: Something called the Alt-Right that believes the white race to be superior and wants to rid the country of of encroaching dark scum. The Human Biodiversity movement, HBD, more scientific and less surly but picking whites while conceding that yellow are smarter. Finally IQists, who believe that IQ is a reliable measure of genetic ...
