Mistreating Refugees in Europe

Mistreating Refugees in Europe by Stephen Lendman US wars with complicit NATO nations bear full responsibility for thousands of refugees and asylum seekers flooding into European countries daily. Instead of providing humane treatment they deserve, they’re abused most everywhere they go. Human Rights Watch accused EU states of “doubling down (on) border management.” “Along the Baltic route,” refugees experience police abuse and “pushbacks,” said HRW. Temporary camp facilities are hellholes, unfit for human habitation. Desperate scenes in Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary and elsewhere in Europe show refugees’ pain, hardships and suffering ...
Senate Fails to Block Iran Nuclear Deal

Senate Fails to Block Iran Nuclear Deal by Stephen Lendman It was a done deal days earlier - though Republican machinations may delay its implementation. Obama got enough Senate Democrat support to block a Republican opposition resolution. The procedural motion fell two votes short of the 60 supermajority needed to invoke cloture - the process to end debate and bring a measure to a vote. Senate Republicans won’t quit. Majority whip John Cornyn (R. TX) said “(i)t will be all Iran next week. There are going to be more votes. There will be other opportunities for people to change their mind next week, hopefully after they hear from their constituents.” House Republicans ...

Legacy of 9/11: Endless US Wars on Humanity by Stephen Lendman A year ago article called 9/11 the mother of all Big Lies - the grandest of grand deceptions, state- sponsored criminality, the most heinous ever false flag changing everything. Each anniversary is a time to remind people of the evil intent behind the incident. What happened wasn’t a tragedy. It was criminality on steroids against peace - perpetrated by America against humanity, a duplicitous scheme to convince people to wage war on terrorism, targeting designated bad guys invented out of whole cloth because US officials say so. Endless wars against nations threatening no others followed that fateful day - continuing ...
Exclusive: 50 Spies Say ISIS Intelligence Was Cooked

More than 50 intelligence analysts working out of the U.S. military's Central Command have formally complained that their reports on ISIS and al Qaeda’s branch in Syria were being inappropriately altered by senior officials, The Daily Beast has learned. The complaints spurred the Pentagon’s inspector general to open an investigation into the alleged manipulation of intelligence. The fact that so many people complained suggests there are deep-rooted, systemic problems in how the U.S. military command charged with the war against the self-proclaimed Islamic State assesses intelligence. “The cancer was within the senior level of the intelligence command,” one defense ...
US Phony War on ISIS

US Phony War on ISIS by Stephen Lendman On September 10, 2014, Obama lied claiming his intent “to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIL” - adding “these terrorists could pose a growing threat beyond that region, including to the United States.” He willfully misled the US public saying he “ordered our military to take targeted action against ISIL to stop its advances…These strikes…helped save the lives of thousands of innocent men, women and children.” Obama is a serial liar. Nothing he says is credible. His agenda is polar opposite his claims and promises. Previous articles explained Islamic State terrorists are US proxy ...

Hillary at Brookings by Stephen Lendman Clinton is one of many hardcore/hawkish neocons infesting America - a recklessly dangerous presidential aspirant deploring peace and stability, addicted to endless wars, mass slaughter and destruction. On September 9, she delivered a foreign policy address at Washington’s Brookings Institution - a notorious corporate financed pro-war think tank, supporting wealth, power and privilege, an establishment organization representing America’s dark side. It supported ravaging and destroying Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, backs Obama’s wars on Syria and Yemen, endorsed his Ukraine coup replacing democrats with fascist thugs, and urges ...

Fabricated Claims About Russian Troops in Syria by Stephen Lendman We heard the same refrain before. It keeps repeating about nonexistent “Russian aggression” in Ukraine. Now it’s Syria. On Monday, its Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi called rumors about Russia building up its military presence in his country “fabricated by intelligence agencies of the West and some Arab countries.” “This hostile campaign is aimed at creating the impression that the Syrian state has become so weak that it has to seek direct military assistance from its friends.” “Our relations with Russians, including in the military sphere, have been developing for a long ...

Dick Cheney’s Litany of Lies About the Iran Nuclear Deal by Stephen Lendman On Tuesday, the former vice president voiced opposition to a done deal. Obama has more than enough Senate support to block passage of a Republican disapproval resolution - by filibuster to prevent a vote or sustaining his veto if one occurs. Cheney is an unindicted war criminal - a neocon in the worst sense, a serial liar, the leading Bush administration figure behind naked aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq, a sinister evil force as congressman, defense secretary and vice president. He chose the notoriously hawkish American Enterprise Institute (AEI) as venue for his talk - a neocon think tank with ...

Rebooting Hillary by Stephen Lendman Polls show increasing numbers of voters dislike and distrust her. She’s losing ground to Sanders and bested by Donald Trump. Voters rate her poorly on honesty, trustworthiness and transparency. When asked to describe her, “liar” is the word most often mentioned - then “dishonest,” untrustworthy,” and “criminal.” She can’t convince people she’s not hiding something. Her sordid past perhaps caught up with her. Polls show Joe Biden is most favored against Republicans - maybe enough to convince him to declare his candidacy. Clinton campaign aides say she’s rebooting, aiming to reinvent herself as ...

Western Logic: War Is Peace by Stephen Lendman Stop Nato editor Rick Rozoff posts important “anti-war essays, poems, short stories and literary excerpts” by notable earlier figures from ancient Greece and Rome to modern times. Their consistent theme is fundamental opposition to war, its carnage and ruthless objectives. Some current postings call “(m)ilitary glory the most mean, the most cruel and contemptible thing under the sun!” (William Black 1881) “All wars arise for the sake of gaining money.” (Plato) “The highest good is not war but peace.” (Plato) “War’s cannibal priest, druid red from his human sacrifice.” (Walter Scott ...

US/Media Misinformation on Russian/Syrian Relations by Stephen Lendman Obama began premeditated aggressive proxy war on Syria in March 2011 - using imported Islamic State and other takfiri terrorists to do his dirty work. There’s nothing civil about ongoing conflict - claims otherwise one of the many Big Lies repeated ad nauseam, proliferated by Western officials and media scoundrels, regurgitating state propaganda, their main role, not honest reporting. Russia maintains normal diplomatic relations. It supplies contractually arranged arms as well as other products and services. It has every legal and moral right to support a longstanding ally. It’s gone all-out for diplomatic ...

Refugee Crisis Straight Talk by Stephen Lendman Official accounts from Washington and European capitals along with duplicitous major media reports suppress what’s most important to know. Volumes are written without a single explanation of why a refugee crisis exists in the first place, what should be done about it, and most important, how to prevent future ones. Millions fleeing troubled lands aren’t migrants. They’re refugees and asylum seekers - desperately seeking safe havens anywhere out of harm’s way. Washington bears full responsibility for the gravest refugee crisis since WW II - because of its devastating post-9/11 wars. Resolving the problem isn’t ...

US-Led Western Nations Plan Escalated War on Syria by Stephen Lendman Obama’s proxy war on Syria is in its fifth year - using Islamic State and other takfiri terrorists as proxy foot soldiers, supported by US terror bombing of Syrian infrastructure targets on the phony pretext of defeating ISIS. Britain, Canada and Israel are involved, complicit in Washington’s campaign against Assad - their warplanes covertly terror bombing Syrian infrastructure targets along with America’s. UK SAS special forces masquerading as ISIS fighters operate covertly on the ground - likely with their US and Israeli counterparts. Full-blown US-led Western war on Assad looms - Libya 2.0. In ...

False Reports of Russian Military Intervention in Syria by Stephen Lendman After numerous US-led Western reports of nonexistent “Russian aggression” in Ukraine, how could anyone believe its military intervened in Syria - especially when Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov (speaking for Putin) categorically denied it, and no verifiable evidence refutes him. Believe nothing Western media claim, Peskov stressed. “(T)his issue has never been discussed in any way” - nor has Assad asked for direct Russian involvement. Commenting on an earlier statement by Russian airborne troops commander Vladimir Shamanov, Peskov added: There ought to be no doubts that Russian airborne troops ...

Western Leaders Snub China’s WW II Victory Day Commemoration by Stephen Lendman No two nations sacrificed more to defeat the scourge of Nazi and imperial Japanese fascism that Russia and China. No one knows for sure how many from both countries perished. Estimates of Russian deaths ranged from 26 - 40 million. From Japan’s invasion and occupation of Manchuria in 1931 to WW II’s end in 1945, 30 million or more Chinese died. Many more in both countries suffered serious injuries. Large parts of their land mass were devastated. Without Sino/Russian contributions to the war effort, Hitler and imperial Japan might have prevailed. War didn’t touch US soil. Americans old ...

Obama’s Covert Drone War on Syria by Stephen Lendman Obama’s war on Syria is in its fifth year - naked aggression partnered with Israel, Britain, France, Canada and rogue regional states, using imported death squad foot soldiers against a sovereign independent country threatening no others. On September 1, the Washington Post headlined “US launches secret drone campaign to hunt Islamic State leaders in Syria.” False!! IS leaders and foot soldiers are US enlisted proxies - funded, armed, trained, directed and deployed cross-border against the Assad government. Washington’s bombing campaign (including use of drones) targets Syrian infrastructure, as well as ...
The Life-Changing Lesson Glenn Beck Says America Could Learn From Iceland Right Now

Glenn Beck praised the people of Iceland on Tuesday for petitioning their government to accept more refugees fleeing the Islamic State, thousands of Icelanders even offering to house the refugees in their own homes. “Out of a country of 300,000 people, 10,000 people in 24 hours said, ‘I’ll offer up my home. I’ll offer up my money.’ I’m asking you to do the same thing today,” Beck said on his radio program. “I’m going to post in a few minutes just a quick note that just says, ‘What churches will take a family? What people will take one person? Will you offer up your home?’” Beck said that when he began warning that the world was ...

Violence and Instability on Russia’s Border by Stephen Lendman Events in Ukraine (and Eastern Europe) target Russia - part of Washington’s longstanding regime change agenda, wanting US-controlled puppet governance replacing Russian sovereignty, eliminating a key rival power, giving America access to a huge new source of vital resources. Perhaps Victoria Nuland’s dirty hands were involved in Monday Kiev riots, previous unrest this year and likely more to come. Washington is displeased with Poroshenko. Former Ukrainian MP Vadim Kolesnichenko said US officials are considering two replacements: Valentin Nalivaichenko, former Ukrainian security service head, or Sergei ...

While military direct intervention by US, Turkish, and Gulf forces over Syrian soil escalates with every passing day, even as Islamic State forces capture increasingly more sovereign territory, in the central part of the country, the Nusra Front dominant in the northwestern region province of Idlib and the official "rebel" forces in close proximity to Damascus, the biggest question on everyone's lips has been one: would Putin abandon his protege, Syria's president Assad, to western "liberators" in the process ceding control over Syrian territory which for years had been a Russian national interest as it prevented the passage of regional pipelines from Qatar and ...

US Occupies Yemeni Island by Stephen Lendman Fars News said “(t)he US has invaded and occupied Yemen’s strategic Island of Socotra (part of the Yemeni archipelago) in the Indian Ocean and is now building up its biggest naval base there, media reports said.” More on this below. Obama’s war on Yemen using Saudi-led regional proxies is perhaps the region’s most destructive, underreported conflict - five months of genocidal war passing under the radar almost unnoticed. US major media report little about it. Other Western counterparts give it short shrift. Most Americans likely never heard of Yemen - for sure know nothing about raging conflict, planned and ...
