Obama Memorial Day Big Lies by Stephen Lendman Obama is an unindicted war criminal, a moral coward, a national disgrace, a serial liar. On Memorial Day (May 25) at Arlington National Cemetery, he again disgraced the office he holds. He ignored millions America killed and maimed post-9/11 alone. He dishonored America's war dead. A previous article said they were sacrificed on the alter of greed and lust for power. America hasn't fought a legal war since WW II. Post-9/11, lawless ones on humanity continue raging - raping one country after another or in multiples. Obama wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on the rump. "Today is the first Memorial Day in 14 years that ...

Mission Creep in Syria by Stephen Lendman Syria is Obama's war. Imported IS and other takfiri terrorists are US proxy foot soldiers. Assad's government is the target, regime change Washington's longstanding objective. On May 25, AP headlined "Turkey, US to provide air protection to Syrian rebels." They're not rebels. They terrorists. They're not moderates. They're extremists. AP said Washington and Ankara "agreed in 'principle' to provide air protection to Syrian rebels being trained and equipped to fight Islamic State militants, once they enter Syrian territory for battle" - according to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu. ...

Sham Yemen Peace Conference Postponed by Stephen Lendman Riyadh's 3-day May 17 - 19 so-called peace conference was little more than a thinly veiled PR stunt. It featured photo-ops. It was entirely one-sided. Nothing was accomplished. Pro-Western/Saudi supporters alone showed up. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called for another conference in Geneva - to begin May 28. Over the weekend it was "indefinitely postponed." Houthis refused to accept one-sided Security Council Resolution 2216 provisions. It supports aggression, they said. It calls for their unconditional surrender by demanding they withdraw from areas held, lay down their arms, cease their liberating struggle, ...

Instead runs with ludicrous story Michelle Obama worth $40 as ISIS slave The seven page Defense Intelligence Agency document revealing the roots of ISIS has been systematically ignored by the corporate media. The DIA report admits “the West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support(ed) the opposition” in Syria, namely al-Qaeda in Iraq, the precursor to ISIS. Instead, it has given credence to an article in the ISIS magazine Dabiq that states First Lady Michelle Obama would be worth $40 on the terror group’s slave market. The article was allegedly penned by jihadi bride Umm Sumayyah al-Muhajirah, said to be an ISIS recruiter of young women. “I swear by Allah, O you who ...

Propaganda Accompanies Kiev's Buildup for Escalated Aggression by Stephen Lendman Poroshenko vowed earlier to regain Donbass and Crimea by "any means" necessary. Kiev launched naked aggression on Donbass last April. It breached three ceasefire agreements straightaway - the latest Minsk II in February. Fighting never stopped. Junta forces attack Donbass multiple times daily - 43 shellings in the last 24 hours, according to Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Defense Ministry spokesman Eduard Basurin. "The enemy used heavy armaments once again," he said. Areas targeted include Oktyabrskiy near Donetsk's airport, Gorlovka, Yasinovataya, Dokuchayevsk, ...

Washington Created the Islamic State (ISIS) by Stephen Lendman America's imperial agenda needs war, violence, turmoil and chaos. Peace and stability defeat it. Judicial Watch obtained a declassified 2012 Pentagon intelligence report anticipating ISIS (the Islamic State - IS) emerging from US support for Al Qaeda and other takfiri terrorists. It predicted what happened, saying "(i)f the situation unravels there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared salafist principality in eastern Syria…and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia ...
What if Putin is Telling the Truth?

On April 26 Russia’s main national TV station, Rossiya 1, featured President Vladimir Putin in a documentary to the Russian people on the events of the recent period including the annexation of Crimea, the US coup d’etat in Ukraine, and the general state of relations with the United States and the EU. His words were frank. And in the middle of his remarks the Russian former KGB chief dropped a political bombshell that was known by Russian intelligence two decades ago. Putin stated bluntly that in his view the West would only be content in having a Russia weak, suffering and begging from the West, something clearly the Russian character is not disposed to. Then a short way into ...
How To Honor Memorial Day

How best to show respect for the U.S. troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan and for their families on Memorial Day? Simple: Avoid euphemisms like “the fallen” and expose the lies about what a great idea it was to start those wars and then to “surge” tens of thousands of more troops into those fools’ errands. First, let’s be clear on at least this much: the 4,500 U.S. troops killed in Iraq – so far – and the 2,350 killed in Afghanistan – so far – did not “fall.” They were wasted on no-win battlefields by politicians and generals – cheered on by neocon pundits and mainstream “journalists” – almost none of whom ...

US-Supported Islamic State Terrorists Seize Palmyra by Stephen Lendman The ancient Syrian city is a UNESCO World Heritage site - one of the Middle East's most treasured ones. UNESCO calls it one of "outstanding universal value, (an) oasis in the Syria desert" northeast of Damascus. "From the 1st to the 2nd century, the art and architecture of Palmyra, standing at the crossroads of several civilizations, married Greco-Roman techniques with local traditions and Persian influences." According to UNESCO director-general Irina Bokova, its ancient ruins "already suffered four years of conflict. It suffered from looting and represents an irreplaceable treasure for ...

Memorial Day Dishonor and Disgrace by Stephen Lendman General Smedley Butler was right. War is a racket - based on Big Lies, waged for wealth, power and dominance. Wars have nothing to do with upholding democratic values, humanitarian intervention or fighting for peace, stability and security. They have everything to do with conquest, colonization and control - forcing one nation's will on others, stealing resources and exploiting populations. America dishonors its war dead - sacrificed on the alter of greed and lust for power. Privileged elites let others do their dying for them - making the world safe for bankers, war profiteers and other corporate predators. Innocent youths ...

Obama Supports Nuclear Proliferation, Opposes Disarmament by Stephen Lendman No country threatens humanity's survival more than America. It's ruthlessness and recklessness risk ending life on earth. Nuclear weapons threaten everyone. They represent potential disaster waiting to happen. America and Russia hold over 90% of the world's nuclear weapons. Survival depends on eliminating these WMDs once and for all. Martin Luther King warned against nations "spiral(ing) down a militaristic stairway into the hell of (potential) thermomnuclear destruction." Anti-nuclear expert Dr. Helen Caldicott says "reliance on fossil fuels and nuclear energy is destroying the ...

Radicals complain recruits are turning away as they discover Western intelligence controls extremist groups A report in the official propaganda magazine of ISIS this month bemoans the fact that the terror group is losing members because of so called ‘conspiracy theories’ that Western intelligence manipulates and controls extremists for its own agenda. The International Business Times reports that the magazine, Dabiq, condemns conspiracy theorists, referring to their ideas and beliefs as “sinful”. “If the mujahedeen liberated territory occupied by the kuffar [infidels], they would say that the kuffar allowed them to do so because kafir [disbelievers] ...
FBI admits no major cases cracked with Patriot Act snooping powers

FBI agents can’t point to any major terrorism cases they’ve cracked thanks to the key snooping powers in the Patriot Act, the Justice Department’s inspector general said in a report Thursday that could complicate efforts to keep key parts of the law operating. Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz said that between 2004 and 2009, the FBI tripled its use of bulk collection under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which allows government agents to compel businesses to turn over records and documents, and increasingly scooped up records of Americans who had no ties to official terrorism investigations. The FBI did finally come up with procedures to try to minimize the ...

Obama's War on Yemen Rages by Stephen Lendman Washington announced new weapons sales to its rogue Middle East allies - notably Israel and Saudi Arabia. They're replenishing supplies for more war, including deadly weapons designed for mass slaughter and destruction. Claiming they're for self-defense mocks their real purpose. A region awash with powerful weapons is getting more - a bonanza for US defense companies, a nightmare for people throughout the Middle East. Riyadh continues using its weapons for naked aggression on Yemen - ongoing terror-bombing and shelling. Civilian neighborhoods and other nonmilitary sites are regularly targeted. On Thursday, a northern Hajjah ...

Saudi Arabia: Headed Toward Becoming Nuclear Armed and Dangerous? by Stephen Lendman Saudi Arabia is a radicalized Islamist police state threatening the entire region with terrorism and belligerence. Reports indicate Riyadh wants or intends becoming nuclear armed - on the bogus pretext of countering Iran's known peaceful nuclear program. Last November, BBC diplomatic and defence editor Mark Urban said months earlier "a senior NATO decision maker told me that he had seen intelligence reporting that nuclear weapons made in Pakistan on behalf of Saudi Arabia are now sitting ready for delivery." They're paid for - ready to be shipped on request. A WikiLeaks reported State ...

PressTV... Press TV has conducted an interview with Lawrence Davidson, a professor at West Chester University, to discuss Saudi Arabia’s invasion of Yemen. Lawrence believes the Saudi airstrikes against Yemen are a prelude to a ground invasion. He also argues that the root cause of this invasion is Saudi Arabia’s paranoia of more Shia-controlled areas, adding that it has seemingly made a “strategic decision” to prevent any such perceived action. The root cause of the domestic crisis in Yemen itself is economic and social but the root cause of the decision to invade the country is sectarian, he says.

Russia Calls for International Resolution of Yemen War by Stephen Lendman Obama's war on Yemen using Saudi and other regional rogue states as convenient proxies continues after nearly eight weeks. Riaydh's 3-day May 17 - 19 sham peace conference was thinly veiled PR subterfuge. Terror-bombing and offshore shelling slowed. It didn't stop. On Wednesday, it resumed full-force. Civilian neighbors and infrastructure as well as other nonmilitary related sites continue being prime targets. Israel is involved. Fars News said Riyadh hired IDF experts to "supervise (its aggression) against Yemen…in addition to (providing) intelligence and military coordination…" ...
WHAT THE SNOWDEN FILES SAY ABOUT THE OSAMA BIN LADEN RAID

Secret intelligence documents disclosed by Edward Snowden provide new context for evaluating the various accounts of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan in 2011. The U.S. has long maintained that the raid was conducted without the knowledge of the Pakistani government, and that the critical intelligence that led to bin Laden’s location came from a years-long effort by U.S. analysts and operatives to trace the path of an Al Qaeda courier. A new report by veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, published last week in the London Review of Books, calls that story a lie. Hersh reports that bin Laden had been in Pakistani custody since 2006, and the ...

They foster violence and instability worldwide. Last week, Nuland was in Kiev meeting with its illegitimate officials - discussing revved up war on Donbas when Obama OKs it. On Monday, she was in Moscow meeting with Russian officials. Discussion focused on Ukraine.

Our generals are better at bureaucratic infighting than war fighting. Since the year began I have had opportunities to visit several American military units and schools. What I found was encouraging. A growing number of officers and staff NCOs accept the painful fact that we have lost two wars. They know we need to change if we are not to lose more. Finally, they have come to understand that their services’ senior leaders, their top generals, do not much care about winning or losing. To them, military defeat is irrelevant because the money keeps flowing. The only war the generals care about is the budget war. The senior military leadership is facing a crisis of legitimacy and does ...

Sham Riyadh Peace Conference on Yemen Imagine a peace and reconciliation conference with one side alone involved. Hundreds of regional rogue state anti-Yemeni freedom representatives participated in a thinly veiled PR stunt. Houthis wanting Yemeni sovereignty respected refused to come.

Proceedings began on Sunday in Riyadh. Three days of talks are planned. UN envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed began things "call(ing) on all parties to refrain from any action that disturbs the ...
