Big Lies About Russia’s Involvement in Syria by Stephen Lendman Western media wage systematic war on truth. They’re a lying machine for wealth, power and privilege, supporting what demands condemnation, featuring daily vicious anti-Russian propaganda, notably now related to Syria. Allegations of Russian troops and warplanes aiding Assad are baseless. Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis suggested Moscow may have in mind an air base near Latakia. “No such plans” exist said First Deputy Chief of General Staff, Nikolay Bogdanovsky. Syrian ambassador to Russia, Riad Haddad, called accusations of Moscow’s military involvement “lies… spread by Western ...

Syria’s Future: Another One-Sided NYT Debate by Stephen Lendman Russia and Iran are the only countries committed to resolving Obama’s war on Syria diplomatically and restoring peace. Instead of explaining it forthrightly, Times editors focused solely on Russia, ignored Obama’s full responsibility for merciless war, disingenuously asking “Can Russia Really Be a Partner to Bring Peace to Syria?” Six one-sided views were presented, independent ones excluded. The Times introduction lied claiming Putin “seiz(ed)” Crimea and continues “aggressive action against Ukraine” - long ago discredited rubbish. Denigrating Russia is disgraceful NYT policy - ...
Without Calming Voice, G.O.P. Is Letting Divisive Ones Speak on Muslims

WASHINGTON — When Ben Carson said on Sunday that he would not want to see a Muslim elected president, he did not just reignite a volatile conversation about the role of Islam in American life — he also exposed another fissure between many Republican leaders and elements of the party’s grass roots. In the years since President George W. Bush sought to separate the Islamic extremists behind the Sept. 11 attacks from the millions of practitioners of what he called a religion of peace, many in his party have come to reject the distinction. It is hardly the only point of disagreement between Republican leaders who are determined to reorient the party to win in a changing ...

Russia’s Real Involvement in Syria by Stephen Lendman Big Lies continue circulating, claiming a Russian military buildup in Syria, reminiscent of fabricated accusations of “Russian aggression” in Ukraine, long ago discredited. Russia is Europe’s leading force for peace, stability, nation-state sovereign independence, the inviolability of international law, and against countries interfering in the internal affairs of others. Putin, Sergey Lavrov and other Russian officials have gone all-out to resolve conflicts in Ukraine and Syria diplomatically - the only effective solution. Anti-Russian propaganda claiming otherwise stems from Washington’s longtime regime ...

The Implosion of US Military Moral

Col.David “Hack” Hackworth said decades ago that the Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon got control of the Army and other U.S. forces during the long Vietnam catastrophe, destroyed morale, lost the war, and kept moving up to the top to be the staff generals and admirals in the Pentagon. The scuttlebutt was always that they managed their way up by being ass-kissers. I wonder what Hack would say about all the news these days about the Perfumed Princes at the top of the US military? Not being close to the grunts and field commanders, I feel queasy about saying anything about what looks like military morale is being destroyed by the endless wars the US always loses and from the top ...

There is not a peaceful person among the Republican candidates. Even the female is heartless. Carly Fiorina positioned herself along side the macho men as a warmonger. She let the military/security complex know that she, too, was for sale. Send in the campaign donations, and she will see that the money flows back to the military/security complex in the buildup of fleets and armaments that will send the Russians a message. Alas, the only message US politicians want to send to the Russians is a war message. The Pentagon has upgraded the newly orchestrated “Russian threat” to “potentially aggressive” and is updating its plans for war with Russia. What has Russia done to ...
Pentagon Updating War Plans Against Russia

Pentagon Updating War Plans Against Russia by Stephen Lendman Longstanding US policy calls for regime change in all sovereign independent countries - by color revolutions or wars, notably targeting Russia, China, Iran and Venezuela, to eliminate major rivals and control world resources, especially oil. The Pentagon maintains war plans against all targeted countries, updating them as needed, ready to act if ordered - risking potential global war. On September 18, Washington Post-owned Foreign Policy magazine featured longtime anti- Russian writer Julia Ioffe’s article headlined “Exclusive: The Pentagon Is Preparing New War Plans for a Baltic Battle Against Russia,” saying: ...

So, continuing on with skewering America’s Funniest Homeland Phrases, let’s examine this old warhorse, if you’ll pardon the pun: “Freedom isn’t free”. Wow, snappy, huh? I wonder how many post-it notes and crayons they went through scribbling that one, what with all the rough drafts and all? Hmmm…so freedom isn’t free? Then what is it, exactly? A pay-as-you-go plan? A rent-to-own thing? Ah! No, I’ve got it! It’s a payday loan! I knew I’d figure it out! Yes, yes, I know what they mean. This one is always trotted out when the U.S. is discussing yet another episode of mass slaughter in the vast charnel house they call the Pentagon. I read ...
Genocide in Yemen

Genocide in Yemen by Stephen Lendman Yemen is Obama’s war - cold-blooded genocidal slaughter and mass destruction, planned long before conflict began in late March, using Saudi Arabia, UAE, other Gulf states and Egypt to do his dirty work. Terror bombing residential neighborhoods, hospitals, schools and other non-military related targets continues. US-Saudi enforced blockade prevents enough food, medical supplies, fuel, clean water and other essentials from reaching desperate people in need. Human Rights Watch said what’s ongoing “may amount to starvation of civilians as a weapon of warfare” - genocide by deprivation. According to Save the Children’s Mark Kaye, ...

The Big Lie About Russian Forces in Syria by Stephen Lendman Washington continues using Islamic State and other takfiri terrorists as US proxy foot soldiers, waging naked aggression on Syria, largely affecting millions of civilians, creating a human flood of internally and externally displaced people along with mass slaughter and destruction. Obama, John Kerry and other US officials firmly oppose Russia legitimately aiding its Syrian ally in need - providing political support as well as military weapons, munitions, equipment and technology. The grand deception about Russian forces and warplanes operating in Syria persists. It’s one of many Big Lies circulating to vilify Putin. ...

Obama Talks Peace, Wages Endless Wars of Aggression by Stephen Lendman Obama, John Kerry and other US officials rhetorically urge settling conflicts diplomatically in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Donbass, Palestine and elsewhere - while waging endless direct or proxy wars in multiple theaters with new ones in mind. Syria is in the eye of the storm. In an interview with six Russian media outlets, Bashar al-Assad said defeating ISIS and other takfiri terrorism is the only way to end ongoing conflict and the human flood it creates. As long as Washington, other Western countries and regional ones support terrorists, endless wars will continue. Syrians want resolution “through ...

PravdaMainForum... www.foxnews.c...tted-in-syria/# Four Russian attack helicopters have been spotted on the tarmac of a Syrian airport that the Pentagon says is being converted into a Russian forward operating base. The arrival of the helicopter gunships follows the shipment of sophisticated battle tanks, and shows the Russian build-up in Syria escalating even after repeated complaints from the Obama administration. A U.S. official who had been briefed on the latest intelligence over Syria early Wednesday told Fox News that two Russian Mi-24 "Hind" and two Mi-17 "Hip" gunships have been seen in the latest satellite imagery over Bassel al-Assad International Airport, ...

Sputnik... Syria’s UN ambassador on Wednesday said Russia had every right to carry out airstrikes against the Islamic State militants in his country. “Why are the Americans fighting ISIL with their fighter jets and the Russians should be forbidden from that?” Ambassador Bashar Ja’afari told reporters, “Does it make sense? It doesn’t make sense.” A US-led coalition of over 60 nations managed to stop the offensive of Islamic State (ISIL) militants in Syria and Iraq, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director said Sunday. © AFP 2015/ US NAVY / MC2 JACOB G.

Putin v. Obama on Syria by Stephen Lendman Judge for yourself who’s right and wrong, whose policies are constructive, whose are destructive, who supports the Syrian people, who mass murders them, who causes human refugee floods fleeing war-torn countries for safe havens. Putin forthrightly wants global peace and stability. Obama wages endless imperial wars - to benefit monied and rogue political interests exclusively, no matter the cost in human lives, unspeakable misery and loss of fundamental freedoms. Putin believes nation-state sovereignty is inviolable. No country has the right to meddle in the internal affairs of others - to force them to bend to its will. Obama intervenes ...

America Created and Supports the Islamic State by Stephen Lendman Obama’s so-called war to degrade and destroy it is a complete fabrication. Defeating it is simple. Stop recruiting, arming, funding, training and directing its elements. Stop using terrorists as US proxy foot soldiers. Wage peace, not war. Isolated on its own, it’ll wither over time and disappear, or be too impotent to rampage like now. Washington bears full responsibility for human floods fleeing war ravaged areas for safe havens anywhere. Bashar al-Assad told RT International the crisis is “not about that Europe didn’t accept them or embrace them as refugees. It’s about not dealing with the ...

The Russians Are Coming, Again by Stephen Lendman At an ongoing Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, Vladimir Putin affirmed Russia’s support for Syria “against terrorist aggression. We assist it and will keep rendering necessary military-technical assistance,” he said. He urged the international community to cooperate with Moscow and Syria in combating terrorism, adding: “(W)ithout participation of the Syrian army…against the Islamic State, terrorists cannot be expelled from the country and the region as a whole. The…Syrian people cannot be protected against destruction, enslavement and barbarity.” Putin ...

Unwanted Refugees: EU Countries Block Borders by Stephen Lendman The 1995 Schengen Agreement established open borders between 26 of the 28 EU countries. A Schengen visa issued in one nation is valid in all, permitting free movement throughout the area. A single external border alone exists. Things are changing. Refugee floods caused by US-led imperial wars aren’t wanted. Record numbers risk life and limb to reach European destinations out of desperation - enduring enormous hardships en route, then mistreated like hostile invaders when they arrive. German willingness to accept huge numbers appears fading. On Sunday, it closed its border with Austria, suspending train traffic, the ...

US Drones Attack Syria’s Military by Stephen Lendman On September 11, a publication called Russian Spring reported US unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks on Syrian military positions - “disguised as an airstrike on ISIS.” Syrian journalists learned details of what’s happening. Numerous civilians were killed. According to Syrian military sources, covert US drone strikes against its forces and positions happened before, part of Washington’s phony war on ISIS. On September 1, the Washington Post headlined “US launches secret drone campaign to hunt Islamic State leaders in Syria,” saying: CIA and US Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) operatives ...

Irresponsible Western Media Russia Bashing By Stephen Lendman Western media irresponsibly blame Russia for high crimes against peace committed by their own nations, namely America, key NATO allies, Israel and rogue Arab states - notably in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, Yemen and Syria, ignoring Moscow’s consistent efforts to resolve conflicts diplomatically, the only way to restore peace and stability. World attention on the gravest refugee crisis since WW II caused by US-led imperial wars affects Syria most of all. Half its 23-million population is internally or externally displaced. Nothing is reported about Obama’s full responsibility - a proxy war he launched in March ...

World War III - Who Will Be Blamed? [Sources & Transcript] 11.Sep.2015 | SCGSCG If you want to start a to war, the unwashed masses must be convinced to send their brothers, sons and fathers to die on the front lines. The specter of an external enemy must be etched into their collective mind through trauma, exaggeration and repetition. History must be whitewashed, twisted and cherry picked down to a politicized nursery rhyme. At no point should the real motives or consequences of such an endeavor be discussed.

Western Media Ignore US Responsibility for Refugee Crisis by Stephen Lendman Post-9/11 Internal and external human floods followed Bush aggression on Afghanistan and Iraq, then Obama continuing his wars and his own on Libya, Syria, Donbass, Yemen and complicit with Israel on Palestine, as well as other turbulent hot spots caused by Washington’s imperial agenda. Major media explain nothing about why people flee countries of origin for safe havens elsewhere. They ignore millions of Palestinian refugees, forcibly displaced internally, in neighboring countries and elsewhere by Israeli aggression since 1947-48. Or the millions of Mexicans and other Latinos forced north to America by ...
