Uncivilized Western Civilization

Uncivilized Western Civilization by Stephen Lendman So-called Western civilization should terrify everyone. It’s a monster threatening life on earth. Policy agendas pursue destructive objectives benefitting monied interests at the expense of all others - no matter how much human suffering is caused. Endless wars of aggression target independent countries threatening no one - glorified in the name of peace, supported by echo chamber media scoundrels profiting by spreading Big Lies. Mass murder is called humanitarian intervention. Western-style democracy is code language for control, plunder and exploitation. We the people ain't ordinary folks. Powerful, corrupted elites in ...
Yemen Peace Talks Deadlocked

Yemen Peace Talks Deadlocked by Stephen Lendman On June 15, talks began - an inauspicious process with opposing sides not meeting face-to-face. Instead, UN special envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, continues shuttle diplomacy between attending delegations with no signs of progress so far. He was less than candid claiming "an important start towards the return to a political process." So was UN spokesman Farhan Haq in New York saying "discussions will hopefully foster mechanisms that create confidence, increase the chances of implementation of the different Security Council resolutions and ensure that compromise on one side will not be abused by the other." ...

Kiev's Junta Forces Terror Bomb Donbass by Stephen Lendman Kiev war crimes include using banned chemical weapons, cluster bombs and white phosphorous in Donbass - including against civilian neighborhoods. Reports indicate US experts are helping Ukraine produce chemical weapons for use against rebel forces. Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) intelligence learned they're being secretly developed for escalated dirty war. On Tuesday, reported fuel-air (thermobaric) explosives targeted a Donetsk chemical plant - fired from junta held Kurahhovo village 30 kilometers away. These weapons suck oxygen from open areas and human lungs. They generate intense, high- temperature explosions. ...

Real target not Jews, Christian and Shiites The Islamic State, the terror army trained by the United States in Jordan, is attempting to destabilize the former republics of the Soviet Union, according to Alexander Bortnikov, the director of the Russian Federal Security Service. “I would like to draw attention to the process of activating and expanding the influence zone of international terrorism,” Bortnikov said during a meeting of the CIS Anti-Terrorism Center. “The Islamic State is currently at its core. It creates cells in different regions in the world and openly states that it intends to destabilize the situation in CIS and Central Asia.” The Kurds believe ...

Manufacturing Nonexistent Putin War on Ukraine by Stephen Lendman America, rogue EU partners and their go-along scoundrel media propaganda machine can't stop beating a dead horse. Big Lies persist ad nauseam. The whole world knows Russia didn't invade Ukraine. It's not waging war against any nation. It's not supplying Donbass freedom fighters with weapons or other military support. It's the continent's leading proponent of peace and stability. It shames America's rage for endless wars of aggression against invented enemies. Throughout months of conflict in Ukraine, Russia more than any other nation has gone all-out to resolve it diplomatically. No one more ...

Yemen Peace Talks: Hold the Cheers by Stephen Lendman It bears repeating what previous articles stressed. Yemen is Obama's war using Saudis and other regional rogue states to do his dirty work - including Israel. At stake is Yemen's sovereign independence. Washington wants US-controlled puppet governance replacing it. Its proxy war is systematically turning parts of Yemen to rubble, murdering thousands, injuring many more, creating a growing refugee crisis and one of the world's most devastating humanitarian catastrophies - largely ignored by Western media. On Monday, so-called peace talks began in Geneva. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has done nothing to demand an end ...
Putin Responds to US Provocations

Putin Responds to US Provocations by Stephen Lendman Make no mistake. America is an aggressor nation threatening world peace, stability and security. It's permanent war agenda endangers everyone. Its ruthless pursuit of unchallenged dominance wants a ruler-serf world unfit to live in. It's increasing hostility toward Russia and China may launch WW III. Lunatics in Washington wanted Russia nuked since early Cold War days. General Curtis LeMay (1906 - 1990) argued for doing it even at the cost of a few US cities. So did General Lyman Lemnitzer (1899 - 1988). They believed nuclear war was inevitable so better sooner than later while America had a clear advantage. They weren't ...
Russia to Counter US Eastern European Buildup

Russia to Counter US Eastern European Buildup by Stephen Lendman A previous article discussed ongoing US anti-Russian provocations - including plans for troop deployments and heavy weapons positioned near its borders. Reuters reported US Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James calling Russia "the biggest threat" on her mind - when none whatever exists. The Air Force may further increase its rotational forces in Europe, she said. What's likely is just "the beginning. There will be more" to come. "We will be reassuring (our) allies we are standing shoulder to shoulder with them." Air patrols in the Baltics increased. Fifth-generation F-22 stealth warplanes ...
NATO Goes "Back To The Future", Will Store Tanks, Heavy Weapons Near Russian Border

As the presidential race heats up in the US, Republicans are set to make foreign policy a major campaign issue with Vladimir Putin serving as the quintessential example of what happens when The White House looks to ‘appease’ a head of state bent on the illegitimate expansion of national borders by violating the sovereignty of his neighbors. The extent to which that characterization of Russia’s recent actions in Eastern Europe approximates reality almost doesn’t matter. Voters in the US are notoriously naïve and even if they weren’t (i.e. even if the American public adopted a healthy level of skepticism towards Russophobic campaign rhetoric), the idea of ...

Saudis Terror-Bomb Yemeni World Heritage Site by Stephen Lendman Sanaa's Old City is a World Heritage site - recognized by UNESCO in 1986. It's been inhabited for over 2,500 years - a major Islamic center since the 7th century. It has 103 mosques, 14 hammans (bathhouses) and over 6,000 houses built before the 11th century. According to UNESCO: Sanaa's Old City "is defined by an extraordinary density of rammed earth and burnt brick towers rising several stories above stone-built ground floors, strikingly decorated with geometric patterns of fired bricks and white gypsum." "Described by historians, geographers and scholars of the early Islamic and medieval ...

It’s time to disband the Navy’s SEAL Team 6 and all other secretive, unaccountable units of the U.S. imperial military. As is said about lawyers, if we didn’t have these units, we wouldn’t need them. The New York Times reported recently: While fighting grinding wars of attrition in Afghanistan and Iraq, Team 6 performed missions elsewhere that blurred the traditional lines between soldier and spy. The team’s sniper unit was remade to carry out clandestine intelligence operations, and the SEALs joined Central Intelligence Agency operatives in an initiative called the Omega Program, which offered greater latitude in hunting adversaries. Team 6 has successfully ...
Why the law doesn’t apply to people like David Petraeus

Newly released documents show how his powerful allies went to bat for him — by claiming Iraq was a success Not only does the national security elite believe members of their club should face different standards of justice, but they also believe our recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been successes. That’s the lesson one gets from reading the letters written to Judge David Kessler in support of a lenient sentence for David Petraeus after his conviction for leaking classified information — two years of probation as opposed to the three years of prison time faced by others who committed the same acts as Petraeus. The letters were recently unsealed in response to a ...

For the very first time, a modern day Noah’s Ark has opened its doors for an exclusive inside look offering up plans for the ultimate Billionaire bunker and doomsday escape. Vivos founder and CEO Robert Vicino announced Vivos Europa One which will be an invitation only, five star, underground survival complex, similar to an underground cruise ship for the elite.

Sputnik... Americans have come to the point where they fear they can't live without war, US Army Colonel Gregory A. Daddis said, adding that the US' addiction to war is fed by "paranoid patriotism." Since the end of the Second World War Americans have found themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of warmongering, fed by constant fear of an external threat, noted Gregory A. Daddis, a US Army colonel and a professor of history at the United States Military Academy.

Kiev Pronounces Minsk Agreement Dead by Stephen Lendman It was dead on arrival like the two previous 2014 ceasefire agreements - not worth the paper they were written on despite Russia and Donbass freedom fighters fully observing them. The Kiev Post is a junta regime house organ. Its reports are virtual press releases. Independent journalism is banned in Ukraine. Regime approved views alone are permitted. Violators risk harassment, arrests, imprisonment or death. On June 5, the Kiev Post headlined Minsk is Dead: Now What?" The broadsheet turned truth on its head claiming a nonexistent "Russia(n) renewed military offensive in eastern Ukraine provides the latest evidence that ...
MISSING EVIDENCE OF PRIOR FBI RELATIONSHIP WITH BOSTON BOMBER

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller’s testimony that the FBI had contact with Tamerlan Tsarnaev long before Russia’s warning was all but ignored in the Boston Marathon bombing trial. Ever since the early days of the Boston Marathon bombing investigation, it’s been commonly understood that Tamerlan Tsarnaev first came to the attention of the FBI thanks to a March 2011 “warning” from the FSB, Russia’s security services. We now know this to be false. In a little-noticed exchange during congressional testimony, the FBI’s then-director Robert Mueller admitted that the Bureau had an interest in the elder Tsarnaev before Russia’s warning. That crucial ...
America's Phony War on ISIS

Washington's Phony War on ISIS by Stephen Lendman The Big Lie explains everything about US policies on issues mattering most - especially geopolitical ones. The New York Times operates as a virtual US government house organ. Many of its reports are little more than administration and Pentagon press releases. On June 9, it headlined "US Embracing a New Approach on Battling ISIS in Iraq." The so-called new approach is the beefed up old one - providing more support for Islamic State fighters in Iraq, Syria and wherever else Washington deploys them. They're in Libya. Small numbers are in Gaza perhaps ahead of more to come. Death squad diplomacy is longstanding US policy. ...

War is a Racket by Major General Smedley D. Butler, United States Marine Corps War is a Racket by Smedley Butler is a famous speech denouncing the military industrial complex. This speech by two-time Congressional Medal of Honor recipient exposes war profits that benefit few at the expense of many. Throughout his distinguished career in the Marines, Smedley Darlington Butler demonstrated that true patriotism does not mean blind allegiance to government policies with which one does not agree. To Hell with war.

How long they'll go along with what's clearly not in their interest remains to be seen. What can't go on forever, won't. Russia plans longterm. It sees normalization ahead at some point with key EU "partners." Don't expect US softening given its longstanding regime change objective.

Mixed-nationality Allied prisoners of war (POWs) in Paris during World War II. Allied soldiers lined up. German officers and soldiers around the prisoners. Parisians watch as the prisoners are marched by German guards through the city streets. Allied prisoners massed in a square. German officers march the prisoners. Traffic moves past the prisoners. French policemen on guard. Prisoners cross shops. Parisian men and women watch as German officers supervise the prisoners. German-sympathetic civilian onlookers shout and jeer, and sometimes punch and trip the Allied prisoners.
