Turkey’s Ruthless Agenda by Stephen Lendman Turkey under Erdogan threatens regional peace and stability - complicit with Washington, Israel, Saudi Arabia and other rogue partners. His delusional goal is Ottoman revival, incorporating northern Syria and Iraq into Turkish territory, a foolhardy objective he won’t achieve. He seeks unchallenged iron-fisted rule, supports ISIS and other terrorist groups for his own self- interest. Opponents are targeted for elimination. His recklessness risks direct confrontation with Russia. He’s systematically destroying fundamental freedoms. Naked aggression against Turkish Kurds rages. He blockaded northern Syria Kurdish areas, ...

Deconstructing John Kerry’s Latest Big Lies by Stephen Lendman Kerry is a notorious serial liar, a disgrace to the office he holds, an unindicted war criminal, indifferent to human suffering. On Wednesday, he addressed the National Defense University in Washington on US foreign policy - concealing its global horrors. He praised Obama’s State of the Union address, calling it “bold and ambitious,” ignoring his duplicity, demagoguery and ruthless agenda - Kerry complicit in his high crimes. “(T)he demand for United States leadership…for what (Obama) called the most powerful nation in the world is as high as it has ever been,” he blustered. No country is ...

Does Washington Plan Greater Middle East War? by Stephen Lendman The region already is cauldron of endless violence and chaos. US imperial ruthlessness bears full responsibility. Iranian naval commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi accused Washington of reckless moves, risking war with the Islamic Republic. His remarks followed seizure of two small US vessels illegally operating in Iranian waters, briefly detaining their crew members. Before their release, “the US navy and a US aircraft-carrier showed unprofessional behavior for about 40 minutes and made some moves in the air and the sea in the region,” said Fadavi - provocations risking direct confrontation. America’s ...
Hillary emails confirm US and NATO destroyed Libya over gold-backed currency

Newly disclosed emails show that Libya’s plan to create a gold-backed currency to compete with the euro and dollar was a motive for NATO’s intervention. The New Year’s Eve release of over 3,000 new Hillary Clinton emails from the State Department has CNN abuzz over gossipy text messages, the “who gets to ride with Hillary” selection process set up by her staff, and how a “cute” Hillary photo fared on Facebook. But historians of the 2011 NATO war in Libya will be sure to notice a few of the truly explosive confirmations contained in the new emails: admissions of rebel war crimes, special ops trainers inside Libya from nearly the start of protests, Al ...

Saudis Terror-Bomb Doctors Without Borders Yemeni Hospital by Stephen Lendman Saudi aerial forces terror-bombed MSF Yemeni facilities multiple times last year, using US-supplied coordinates - again on Sunday. Its spokesman confirmed it, the Shiara hospital located in Razeh - killing at least four, injuring 10 others. Victims remain trapped in rubble. Expect the death toll to rise. MSM strongly condemned the attack, saying “all parties to the conflict” must respect medical facilities, staff and patients. MSF’s Raquel Ayora explained “(a)ll the warring parties, including the Saudi-led coalition, are regularly informed of the GPS coordinates of the medical sites where ...

Why North Korea Wants Nukes by Stephen Lendman Pyongyang has just cause to fear America. It knows how it raped Southeast Asia, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. Truman’s naked aggression was devastating, turning most of North Korea to rubble. General Matthew Ridgway ordered air force bombers to level Pyongyang and other strategic targets. Scorched earth death and destruction was official US strategy. Douglas McArthur wanted commander’s discretion to use nuclear weapons - to spread a radioactive belt from the Sea of Japan to the Yellow Sea. US terror-bombing ran out of targets. Principle ones included Pyongyang, Chongyin, Wonsan, Hungnam and Rashin. North Korea ...

Phony Reports of Starvation in Madaya, Syria by Stephen Lendman Spurious reports of Syrian and Hezbollah responsibility for alleged Madaya starvation are part of continued propaganda war on Damascus. Western and Arab media used earlier taken unrelated photos, images of skin and bone bodies, widely circulating, falsely claiming they reflect Madaya starvation, wrongfully blaming Damascus for imposing siege conditions. Obama’s war on Syria created dire conditions throughout the country. Deplorable ones exist. Overwhelming human suffering persists, exacerbated by US special forces directly aiding terrorist elements and its warplanes bombing vital infrastructure and other government ...
Phony Claims of Iranian Rockets Fired Near Western Vessels

Phony Claims of Iranian Rockets Fired Near Western Vessels by Stephen Lendman Unrelenting US anti-Iranian hostility persists. Media repeated propaganda highlights it. Tehran remains a strategic Washington enemy, intending new sanctions, wrongfully claiming its legitimate ballistic missile tests violate last year’s nuclear agreement. Security Council Resolution 1929 only prohibits Iranian development of missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads. Tehran has none, has no plans to develop any. No evidence suggests otherwise. It’s tests are entirely legitimate, in full compliance with Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) terms. Claims otherwise are false. US imposition of ...

Gulf States Support Saudi Regional Terrorism by Stephen Lendman On Saturday, Gulf Cooperation Council states met in extraordinary Riyadh session, discussing Saudi/Iranian relations. Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE support the kingdom’s anti-Iranian agenda. Oman alone urges resolving differences diplomatically, maintaining its longstanding tradition of cooperation with Tehran, saying it poses no threat to other regional states. Following the session, Saudi foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir said “(w)e are looking at additional measures to be taken if (Tehran) continues with its current policies” - without further elaboration. He irresponsibly blamed Tehran for Saudi ...

Big Lies About Russia’s Syrian Campaign Persist by Stephen Lendman Washington’s view on Russia’s Syrian campaign depends on who’s commenting at different times along with what major media scoundrels report or suppress. Pentagon commanders are awestruck by Moscow’s formidable military power, its sophisticated weapons matching or exceeding their own capability, outdoing the prowess of other NATO countries. Its navy once derisively called “more rust than ready” is reinventing itself impressively. Its overall military capability dispels the myth about unmatched US superiority. Its Syrian campaign since September 30 has been devastatingly effective by any ...
Turkey's Rogue Regional Agenda

Turkey’s Rogue Regional Agenda by Stephen Lendman Turkey threatens regional peace and security, a rogue state run by a fascist despot, Erdogan seeking greater iron-fisted authority than already. He supports ISIS and other regional terrorist groups, supplying them with weapons and munitions, letting them move freely cross-border to and from Syria and Iraq, waging terror war without mercy on Turkish Kurds. In late December, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov blasted his regional agenda, saying: “Well, the Iraqis invited us to move in and we like Iraq, but we are still trying to tell them what is right and what is wrong.” “As for Syria, (Assad is wrongfully ...

Britain Aiding Saudi Terror War on Yemenis by Stephen Lendman Make no mistake. Yemen is Obama’s war, planned, orchestrated and initiated in Washington, using Riyadh and other rogue regional states to do his dirty work. On January 7, Britain’s Sky News headlined “Exclusive: UK Helping Saudi’s Yemen Campaign” - allied with Washington, complicit in high crimes against peace. Yemenis are being mass slaughtered, civilians harmed most, indiscriminately targeted to inflict massive pain and suffering. Britain already supplies Riyadh with terror weapons. “Sky sources confirmed that six (UK) experts are working with Saudi targeteers who select locations for ...

Obama’s Phony Hyperbole on Gun Violence by Stephen Lendman New York Times editors gave Obama op-ed space on gun violence instead of denouncing his high crimes and demanding accountability. They exceed the worst of George Bush - with a year remaining in office to extend his deplorable rap sheet. Calling “gun violence in our country a crisis…constituting one of the greatest threats to public health and” safety belies his war on humanity since day one in office. He bears full responsibility for US-sponsored global violence, raping one country after another, waging direct and proxy wars, enforcing homeland tyranny, systematically destroying fundamental freedoms, turning ...

Saudis Using US-Supplied Terror Weapons on Yemenis by Stephen Lendman America has a long sordid history of waging direct and proxy wars of aggression, freely using banned terror weapons. War on Yemen was planned and orchestrated in Washington, using Riyadh and its rogue allies to do its dirty work. Another nation is being systematically ravaged and destroyed, its entire population at risk from violence, starvation, untreated illnesses and diseases along with overall deprivation - the world community largely dismissive of appalling human suffering. Cluster bombs are illegal terror weapons - their use, transfer and stockpiling banned under the 2010 Convention on Cluster Munitions. As of ...

Iraqi Official Says US Aiding ISIS by Stephen Lendman Clear evidence shows Washington uses ISIS and other terrorist groups as imperial foot soldiers in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere. Its so-called war on terror is a complete hoax, media scoundrels perpetuating the myth. Iraqi parliamentarian Awatif Naima accused US forces of “expanding their heliborne operations in Huweija, Beiji and Sharqat…with the goal of assisting the ISIL terrorist group.” Iraqi forces witnessed airdrops of weapons, munitions, food and other supplies. Instead of combating ISIS, Pentagon commanders directly aid its fighters. Last fall, Iraqi forces seized large amounts of ISIS-supplied US weapons, ...

Riyadh Terror-Bombs Iran’s Yemeni Embassy: A Willful Act of War by Stephen Lendman Press TV cited Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Hossein Jabari Ansari, saying Saudi warplanes “deliberately” bombed his nation’s Sana’a, Yemen embassy - defying international law, flagrantly violating the immunity of all diplomatic missions worldwide. “Iran holds the government of Saudi Arabia responsible for this act and wounding of a number of embassy staff and damages made to its building,” Ansari stressed. Make no mistake. Targeting Tehran’s embassy was a willful belligerent act. Yemen is Obama’s war, planned, orchestrated and initiated in Washington, ...

Members of America's political left share far more concerns in common with the armed protestors than many apparently realize. The activists who began occupying government buildings in the Oregon wilderness over the weekend say that they’re protesting how federal authorities treated rancher Dwight Hammond, 73, and Steven Hammond, his middle-aged son. Federal authorities charged the Hammonds with arson after they set a series of fires that spread to public land. A 2001 fire accidentally burned beyond their property line, according to The New York Times. The Department of Justice says it was set to cover up an illegal deer hunt, while the men say that they were burning away an ...

US Nukes the Problem, Not North Korea’s by Stephen Lendman Throughout its post-WW II history, North Korea attacked no other nation, threatens none now, will respond appropriately to defend its national security like other nations. America wages endless wars of aggression against one country after another. Its imperial agenda threatens world peace. Its nuclear weapons put humanity’s survival at risk. If they’re used again, chances are virtually 100% Washington will be the instigator - not Russia, China or North Korea. America has been at war with Pyongyang since June 1950. Truman’s aggression with South Korean fascists never ended. An uneasy armistice exists, ...

Assad Must Go Remains Official US Policy by Stephen Lendman Russia and America are fundamentally at odds on the future of Syria - US imperial arrogance the fundamental issue, defying international law, wanting Assad replaced with a puppet it controls. On January 6, AP News headlined “US sees Assad staying in Syria until March 2017,” saying: “An internal US timeline for a best-case Syrian political transition, obtained by The Associated Press, sets a date of March 2017 for Assad to ‘relinquish’ his position as president and for his ‘inner circle’ to depart.” “That is two months after President Barack Obama leaves office and more than five ...

The Saudi-Iranian War Has Begun: The Coming Oil Wars As Predicted In The Bible And How It Will Eventually Lead To The Doom Of MeccaBy Walid Shoebat on January 5, 2016 in Featured, General By Walid Shoebat After Saudi Arabia executed 47 men convicted of terror-related offences, including Nimr Al Nimr, an Ayatullah dissident Shia cleric, three strongest reactions came from Iraq’s former prime minister Nouri Al Maliki who declared Al Nimr’s death would “topple the Saudi regime” and Hizbollah promising an “assassination” while Iran’s Supreme Leader warned Saudi’s rulers would face “the divine hand of revenge”. What is perhaps unconsidered in ...

Yemen: A US-Orchestrated Holocaust by Stephen Lendman Millions of lives are at risk from violence, starvation, lack of vital medical care, and overall deprivation. A new UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCR) report downplayed the ongoing catastrophe, shamelessly undercounting civilian casualties since conflict began last March. It’s likely in the tens of thousands from Saudi terror-bombing heavily populated areas and absence of vital essentials to life. Claiming it’s only 2,800, another 5,200 wounded mocks the unbearable suffering of millions of Yemenis, victims of US imperialism. The world community remains largely indifferent, ignoring an entire ...
The MSM Sure does not Want to Talk About Bill Clinton’s Rapes & Violent Sex Assaults or Hillary’s Criminal Terror Campaigns

The Clintons are criminals and this has nothing to do with any consensual oral sex that Bill had with Monica Lewinsky, martial infidelity or adultery. Like Bill Cosby, Bill Clinton is a sexual predator – and Hillary used Strong-arm tactics to run the cover-up. In fact Hillary is an accessory after the fact in all of Bill Clinton’s sex crimes. Recently, Glen Kessler of the Washington Post published a so-called “Fact Checker” essay titled “A guide to the allegations of Bill Clinton’s womanizing.” May we suggest a more pointed topic? How about a guide to Bill Clinton’s violent sexual assaults and Hillary’s criminal terror campaigns to scare his ...

A key to understanding the political world lies in realizing that the words terrorism and terrorist are inherently political terms. This has been clear in international affairs, but we now see this in domestic matters, specifically the case involving ranchers Dwight and Steve Hammond and the takeover of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service building in Harney County, Oregon. The Hammonds have been imprisoned under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, an ostentatiously get-tough bill – passed after the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building – favored by congressional Republicans and signed by triangulating ...

NATO: Humanity’s Greatest Scourge by Stephen Lendman NATO is a US-dominated killing machine, a force for pure evil - a global imperial enforcer threatening world peace, a dagger in humanity’s heart. It’s the lead instigator of global conflicts, a menace too great to ignore, intending to replace the UN, first as its military wing, then geopolitically. America funding 75% of its budget is its dominant force, pressuring other members to play by its rules even when harming their own interests. The Alliance wages endless premeditated wars of aggression in the name of peace. Its strategy and tactics include state terror on an unprecedented scale. Its aim is replacing all ...

Monstrous ISIS Atrocities by Stephen Lendman ISIS is a US creation, their fighters used as imperial foot soldiers, trained in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar and perhaps elsewhere by CIA operatives, Pentagon special forces and their allied counterparts - taught the fine art of committing atrocities. They include beheadings, mass executions, other types of cold-blooded murder, deliberately targeting civilians, human trafficking, exploiting young girls and women as sex slaves, as well as using sarin and other toxic chemical agents. Russia has clear evidence pointing to the “very high” probability (virtual certainty) indicating ISIS use of banned chemical weapons. According ...
