Syria Not Invited to Talks on Resolving Endless War by Stephen Lendman On November 14, around 20 nations will meet in Vienna for more talks on resolving the long- running Syrian conflict - launched by Obama, intending to continue it until Assad is replaced by a US-controlled puppet. Late October talks accomplished nothing. Participants agreed to disagree. Expect nothing more significant this time. Syria wasn’t invited to either session, left out of discussing its own status and future. How can peace be achieved without its involvement? UN special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura ignored the affront, saying “(m)y job is to make sure that large countries such as Russia, Saudi ...

US Rejects Russia’s Syrian Peace Proposal by Stephen Lendman Throughout four-and-a-half years of conflict, Russia has gone all-out to resolve it diplomatically - in stark contrast to Washington, wanting endless war continued, no matter the devastating human toll. Obama bears full responsibility for horrific carnage and mass displacement, using ISIS and other takfiri terrorists, imported foot soldiers from scores of countries, supplemented since September 2014 by US air attacks on Syrian infrastructure and other government targets, aiming to replace Assad with a Western-controlled puppet, eliminate an Israeli rival and isolate Iran. Washington rejected earlier Russian peace ...

I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers.-Major General Smedly D. ButlerIn 1775, in a Philadelphia bar named Tun Tavern, Commandant Samuel Nicholas held a recruiting drive to enlist the first Marines in the history of the United States.10 November 1775 was the day when the Second Continental Congress established the Continental Marines with the following decree:“ That two battalions of Marines be raised consisting of one Colonel, two lieutenant-colonels, two majors and other officers, as usual in other regiments; that ...

A Stunning Anti-War Polemic by Stephen Lendman Years ago, I read author, screenwriter Dalton Trumbo’s 1939 classic novel “Johnny Got His Gun” - one of the most stunning ever fictional indictments of war, impossible to read his chilling account of its barbarity in human terms without being deeply affected. Joe Bonham is the protagonist, a US WW I soldier, a war during which my father served in France, thankfully coming home in one piece, mind and body intact, no signs of what he may have seen or endured with one exception. He shunned discussing the war. I and my brother never pressed him. Bonham awakens in a hospital after an artillery blast shattered his body beyond ...

PressTV... Daesh Takfiris have executed an Iraqi physics professor of the University of Mosul for refusing to cooperate with the terror group in designing a biological weapon. The terrorists shot dead Abdullah Sultan al-Abidi, the chairman of the university's Physics Department, at a square in the middle of the militant-held city of Mosul in the northern province of Nineveh, Arabic-language al-Sumeria news website reported on Wednesday, quoting an unnamed local source. According to the report, Daesh wanted to use the weapon against Iraqi government forces. Mosul, the second-largest city of the Arab country, fell into the hands of Daesh in early June last year. Since then, the ...

The American Way: Endless Wars

The American Way: Endless Wars by Stephen Lendman America is addicted to endless direct and proxy wars of aggression. Peace is anathema, social justice discarded to devote national resources to warmaking and militarizing the homeland. Washington’s criminal class is bipartisan. Duopoly power rules, one party with two wings, serving monied interests exclusively, not a single identifiable administration, congressional or top-level judicial profile in courage, all in lockstep with what makes America the most feared and hated of all nations. All Republican and Democrat presidential aspirants support aggressive wars. None demand they end. No one worries about possible nuclear ...

Obama and Netanyahu Plot Next Moves by Stephen Lendman Longstanding US/Israeli imperial partnership overrides how both leaders feel about each other - undisguised loathing no matter how they tried hiding it Monday in a media photo op. Business as usual alone matters. Both nations partner in each other’s high crimes - endless Middle East wars, raping one country after another, wanting all independent governments removed, vassal ones replacing them, regional resources stolen, populations exploited. No nations threaten peace and stability more than America and Israel - fascist rogue states pretending to be democracies. Regimes wanting world dominance may end up destroying it. The New ...
Was Downed Russian Airliner a Terrorist Act?

Was Downed Russian Airliner a Terrorist Act? by Stephen Lendman It’ll be some time before the cause of the downed Russian Kogalymavia Flight 9268 is known for sure and announced. Mounting evidence suggests terrorism. A bomb on board appears most likely, yet to be proved or disproved. Mechanical or structural failure, or a surface-to-air or air-to-air missile are the only other possibilities - unlikely unless determined otherwise. The ongoing investigation will discover precisely what happened. If terrorism, what then? How will Putin respond? Key is whether it’s possible to assign blame. More on this below. Tass reported Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev saying “(t)he ...

US Increasing Troop Strength in Europe by Stephen Lendman US policies are consistent, the greatest ever threat to world peace and stability, verboten notions, endless wars prioritized. On November 8, the Wall Street Journal headlined “US Military Officials Aim to Bolster Troop Presence in Europe” - to deter a nonexistent Russian threat. Pentagon commanders “proposed sending more forces into Europe on a rotating basis to build up the American presence and are stepping up training exercises to counter potential Russian interference with troop transfers in the event of a crisis with Moscow,” said the Journal. Hyping a nonexistent Russian threat combined with ...

War on Russian Athletics by Stephen Lendman The Montreal headquartered World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is Western founded and run. Its first president, Dick Pound (1999 - 2007), is a Canadian lawyer and former McGill University chancellor. John Fahey succeeded him in 2008, a former Australian premier and finance minister. Craig Reedie followed in 2014 and remains president - a former British Olympic Association chairman, currently an International Olympic Committee representative. Their respective countries are part of Washington’s anti-Russian coalition, irresponsibly bashing Putin’s policies, engaged in lawlessly bombing Syrian infrastructure targets and killing civilians - ...

The Death of Ahmed Chalabi, Part Deux

Reflecting on the life and recent death of Mr. Chalabi, as Americans, it is only natural that we see him as we saw him. Most Americans have forgotten the hideous impact the Washington regime of Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama had on the people, government and economy of Iraq. Most never cared anyway. The name of the current Iraqi Prime Minister may not matter, but who he is might. Apparently, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi is unreasonable optimist, with an overbroad definition of his role vis a vis the people of Iraq. And oh, those people! Ungrateful for the trillions in American “help,” they’ve been rioting in the streets of Baghdad, over poor utility service and corrupt ...

NYT Fears Greater Putin Resolve Against Terrorism By Stephen Lendman The Times is a US administration/Pentagon house organ, featuring press release journalism, a voice for wealth, power and privilege exclusively. It’s a leading Putin critic - maliciously bashing him irresponsibly, substituting misinformation and Big Lies for legitimate reporting and opinion. It fears evidence showing terrorism responsible for downing Russia’s Metrojet airliner (yet to be proved or disproved) may steel Putin’s resolve for greater efforts to defeat it - involving him more in Middle East affairs, challenging Washington imperial agenda effectively for the first time in memory. Putin’s ...
Defense Secretary Suggests Putin Might Nuke America, Says US Will "Defend International Order"

Defense Secretary Ash Carter is a funny guy. We’re not out to disparage him personally (although we’ll happily disparage Washington’s foreign policy for which he is partially responsible), but he sure does have an uncanny ability to land himself in situations that end up generating amusing photo ops. Here are just two examples from last week: "Show me some love"... "Just listening to Kenny Loggins in my headphones with my water bottle and yeah, since you asked, that's my aircraft carrier down there"... Of course to be fair to Carter, Washington hasn't exactly put him in a good position. After all, what the US is doing in Syria is deplorable ...

Reckless US/NATO Saber-Rattling by Stephen Lendman When lunatics run the asylum, all bets are off. America can’t bear the thought of other rising powers challenging its unipolarity - so much so, it appears willing to risk humanity’s destruction to maintain sole dominance of planet earth, its resources and populations. Russia, China and the vast majority of other countries support multi-world polarity, nations working cooperatively with each other in peace for the betterment of all. Washington wants none of it, demands all other countries accept its dominance, obey its diktats, pay homage to the master of the universe - or else. Endless wars of aggression, raping one nation ...

US Supplying ISIS with Aircraft Downing Weapons by Stephen Lendman On November 4, the Wall Street Journal headlined “US, Allies to Boost Aid to Syria Rebels” - aka ISIS and other takfiri terrorists, US proxy foot soldiers, imperial death squads, no so-called “moderates” among them. The Journal stopped short of explaining it, instead saying “(s)hipments of arms (and) supplies are aimed at pressuring Assad while countering Russia (and) Iran.” Longstanding US plans call for regime change in Syria, eliminating its independent government, replacing it with one Washington and Israel control, raping the country, balkanizing it, and exploiting its people - at the ...
ISIS Using Mustard Gas in Syria

ISIS Using Mustard Gas in Syria by Stephen Lendman US-supported ISIS and other terrorists were caught red-handed using sarin and other chemical weapons against civilians in Syria numerous times - Assad wrongfully blamed for their crimes. No evidence suggests his forces used them at any time throughout the conflict. Plenty shows CIA and US special forces train takfiri terrorists in chemical weapons use, perhaps supplying them with toxic agents to use. Saudi Arabia was caught red-handed providing them with toxic agents in containers marked “made in KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia).” In early November, Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) experts confirmed ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- The Yemeni army shot down a fighter jet of the Saudi-led coalition in capital Sana'a on Thursday. According to the Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television, the warplane was brought down in Bilad al-Rous district in Sana'a. The Saudi fighter was targetted by the Yemeni army anti-air missile defense system and hit al-Laham mountain. On Saturday, the Yemeni army and popular forces shot down two spying aircraft of the Saudi-led coalition forces as they were running reconnaissance missions in two different parts of the province of Saa'da. The Saudi-led coalition plane was targeted by the Yemeni army while flying over Sahar region in Saa'da province on ...

No Moderate Syrian Rebels Exist by Stephen Lendman US claims otherwise are a complete fabrication. All anti-Assad forces are US-trained, armed, funded, and directed terrorists, taught the fine art of killing, committing atrocities and using chemical weapons - including ISIS, Al Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusra and various splinter groups. The so-called Free Syrian Army and other alleged “moderates” exist only in US and go-along media propaganda reports, willful misinformation to deceive an uninformed public. Wars depend on lies to gain popular support, or at least no significant opposition. Often they collapse under the own weight. Putin’s righteous Syrian mission shows the ...
Who Downed Metrojet Flight 9268?

Was it ISIS – or somebody else? First they said the downing of Russian Metrojet Flight 9268 was most likely due to Russia’s “notorious” regional airlines, which supposedly are rickety and unreliable. The Egyptian government denied that terrorism is even a possibility, with Egyptian despot Abdel Fatah al-Sisi proclaiming: “When there is propaganda that it crashed because of Isis, this is one way to damage the stability and security of Egypt and the image of Egypt. Believe me, the situation in Sinai – especially in this limited area – is under our full control.” However, it soon came out that the person in charge of Sharm el-Sheikh airport, where ...

Millions of corpses bear witness, Syrians among the latest victims of Washington’s quest for unchallenged global dominance, endless wars its strategy of choice to achieve it. Meeting in late October with French parliamentarians in Damascus, Assad said “(t)he sufferings of the Syrian people are connected, firstly, with terrorism and destroyed infrastructure, and, secondly, with the blockade imposed on Syria.” “Many countries…including France, do do not stop supporting terrorist groups and provid(ing) them political cover in ...
