US/Saudi Blockade Prevents Vital Humanitarian Aid from Reaching Yemen by Stephen Lendman Yemen is Obama's war - more genocide on his rap sheet against 25 million Yemenis wanting freedom from imperial oppression. US/Saudi imposed air and sea blockade prevents vital humanitarian aid in amounts needed from reaching desperate Yemenis - including food, clean water, medical supplies and other essentials to life. Obama, Saudis and rogue regional allies (including Israel) want Yemenis starved to death or perishing from untreated serious wounds. Reuters reported desperately needed vital aid is being blocked. Saudis continue "holding up food deliveries by sea" and air. ICRC ...

Kiev Announces Readiness for Escalated War by Stephen Lendman Hundreds of US combat troops are preparing Kiev's Nazi-infested National Guard, Azov battalion and likeminded extremist paramilitary groups for escalated aggressive war on Donbass. Media scoundrels ignore what's ongoing. Fascist ruthlessness is called democratic governance, "free" Ukraine. Nothing is reported on continuing low-level war on Donbass ahead of resuming it full-blown. Novorossia Today explained "US-backed Nazi elements are integral to the continued illegal war against the East, and prominently in the future trajectory of the Ukrainian state." Ukraine is Obama's war - using Kiev ...

US/Saudi Recruited Terrorists in Yemen by Stephen Lendman Obama's genocidal war against 25 million Yemenis continues without mercy. US-sponsored cold-blooded murder claims scores of lives daily. Noncombatant men, women and children are harmed most. Endless conflict persists - now involving US/Saudi recruited, funded, armed, trained and directed takfiri terrorists. Islamic State fighters posted a video online announcing their presence - threatening to "cut the throats" of Ansarullah Houthi rebels. It showed about two dozen heavily armed IS fighters preparing for combat. Their commander planted a black flag in the ground saying "soldiers of the caliphate (have arrived ...
Obama-Authorized Murder by Drones

Obama-Authorized Murder by Drones by Stephen Lendman Obama-authorized drone killings are cold-blooded murder by any standard - mostly affecting noncombatant civilians, innocent men, women and children in harm's way. Former Obama White House press secretary Jay Carney lied calling drone strikes "precise, lawful and effective." They're indiscriminate and lawless. They accomplish no geopolitical objectives. They arouse great public anger in targeted countries. Days earlier, a drone strike killed a US and Italian hostage. A disingenuous White House press secretary statement said: "It is with tremendous sorrow that we recently concluded that a US government ...

More Reckless Russia Bashing by Stephen Lendman It ebbs, flows but never entirely ceases. Russia remains US public enemy number one - to serve its imperial interests threatening world peace. Bogus accusations persist - reckless and irresponsible. The New York Times is America's lead corporate instrument of state propaganda. On April 22, it headlined "Putin Bolsters His Forces Near Ukraine, US Says." Throughout Obama's proxy war on Donbass, Putin was repeatedly accused of nonexistent Russian aggression. Big Lies never stop. According to The Times citing US sources, "Russia has continued to deploy air defense systems in eastern Ukraine and has built up its forces ...

Saudi-Style Yemeni Ceasefire: Continued Terror-Bombing by Stephen Lendman Riyadh's so-called next phase replicates its initial phase. Rhetoric alone changed. Terror-bombing continues. Civilians are most harmed. They're being slaughtered in cold blood. Saudi-announced Operation Restoring Hope involves destroying it. Osfam's Yemen representative Grant Pritchard said "(a)irstrikes are continuing over Taiz today. It is Yemen's third largest city." "And there is fighting on the ground in many of the southern governorates. For example, Aden. They are still fighting there." "Food insecurity figure has risen by approximately 2 million. So in the ...
Former NATO Chief Targets Russia Irresponsibly

Former NATO Chief Targets Russia Irresponsibly by Stephen Lendman Washington installed former NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen to serve as a convenient US stooge. His predecessors operated the same way. So does his successor, Jens Stoltenberg. Irresponsible Russia bashing is part of the job. Rasmussen took full advantage. He calls NATO an organization responsible for "an unprecedented period of peace." It's a US-dominated imperial tool - a global killing machine prioritizing war, deploring peace. Raping Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Libya are three of its high crimes. Some of its member countries ravaged and destroyed Iraq. NATO's existence threatens world peace. ...

Saudis Resume Terror-Bombing Yemen by Stephen Lendman Saudis operate like America and Israel. They say one thing. They do another. They represent pure evil. After Wednesday's announced end to terror-bombing, Saudis resumed it on Thursday. It didn't surprise. Rogue states operate this way. Saudi despotism ranks with the world's worst. State terror is official policy - at home and in international relations. Riyadh's so-called political solution involves continued terror-war on 25 million Yemenis. Reports indicate airstrikes targeted Taiz in Yemen's southwest. Fighting continues in other areas - notably in the southern port city of Aden. Saudi warships fired rockets ...

Humanitarian Crisis Conditions in Yemen by Stephen Lendman Conditions were dire before Saudi terror-bombing began. Yemen is the region's poorest country. Half the population is food insecure in normal times. Yemenis lack other essentials to life. Political stability is impossible without addressing humanitarian issues responsibly. Before Saudi aggression began, UN humanitarian coordinator for Yemen Ould Cheikh Ahmed said over 10 million Yemenis need food aid. Half of them face acute food shortages. Millions of children face malnutrition. Tens of thousands may die. Over a third of a million Yemenis were displaced before Saudi-led terror-bombing began. Earlier humanitarian aid was ...

Saudis End Operation Decisive Storm: War Continues by Stephen Lendman On Wednesday, things in Yemen changed but stayed the same. Saudi rhetoric belies its policy. It announced Operation Restoring Hope replacing Decisive Storm. US-planned and orchestrated/Saudi-led terror bombing offered Yemenis none. Nor does continued US-ordered war. Washington's policy remains hardline. It's unchanged. It includes: • regaining unchallenged control over its former client state; • crushing Houthi resistance; • restoring US-installed/Houthi ousted illegitimate president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi to power serving Western interests at the expense of his people; or • another ...

Sputnik... Experts claim that the Saudi-led coalition announced it will end the airstrikes campaign in Yemen even though it did not achieve the goals it had set in the fight against the country’s Houthi militia. WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The Saudi-led coalition announced it will end the airstrikes campaign in Yemen even though it did not achieve the goals it had set in the fight against the country’s Houthi militia, experts told Sputnik. “I am very skeptical that the Saudi-led military campaign achieved its goals in less than a month,” Middle East Forum Director Daniel Pipes said on Tuesday. “I think the Saudi leaders decided that they could not prevail and so ...

US Foreign Policy: Permanent Wars on Humanity by Stephen Lendman Throughout its entire history, America waged endless wars at home and abroad. From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli to battleground US streets and neighborhoods. US policy reduced its indigenous population to a tiny fraction of its original numbers. How the West was won involved exterminating millions in cold blood. In the mid-19th century, half of Mexico was stolen. America's killing machine knows no limits. One state-sponsored genocide follows others. US imperial policy is responsible for tens of millions of lost lives - horrific conditions for surviving millions. Democracy promotion is pure ...

America and Islamic Terrorists: Partners Against Peace by Stephen Lendman America is a killing machine. It gives rogue state ruthlessness new meaning. It's a lying machine. Truth is strictly verboten. Big Lies consistently substitute. White House hyperbole claims victories against Islamic State fighters. Suppressed is what everyone needs to know. Washington actively recruits, funds, arms and directs these terrorists and likeminded groups. They're used as US proxies - shock troops fighting America's dirty wars, currently in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Reports indicate they're in Afghanistan and Libya. They're used against independent governments Washington wants toppled ...

Nine US Warships Threaten Yemen by Stephen Lendman Obama is escalating his war on Yemen. He bears full responsibility for genocidal slaughter - mostly affecting civilian men, women and children. He's waging premeditated naked aggression using Saudis and other regional rogue states as proxy partners against a nonthreatening nation. US orchestrated hostilities violate core international law. No nation may attack another without Security Council approval. None exists. Nine US warships were sent to Yemeni waters. The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and escort cruiser USS Normandy joined seven others. They threaten the entire region with conventional and nuclear armed missiles. ...

Gunslinger US General Readies for War with Russia by Stephen Lendman America is run by neocon lunatics and gunslinger generals. Together they threaten world peace. Washington’s only enemies are ones it invents to wage endless wars of aggression - premeditated ones against one country after another posing no threat to anyone. Rogue states operate this way. Readers familiar with Orwell's 1984 understand. America exceeds the worst of what he envisioned. World peace hangs by a thread. Humanity's survival is up for grabs. General Ben Hodges heads US Army Europe (USAREUR). On April 18, he lied telling London's Telegraph NATO must stay united against a "real ...

Operation Decisive Storm: US-Orchestrated, Saudi-Led Mass Murder by Stephen Lendman Yemen is in the eye of the storm. Washington planned and orchestrated ongoing war on an entire population. Its using Saudi Arabia, other regional rogue states, and extremist takfiri mercenaries to do its killing and dying. It's systematically destroying an entire nation to tighten its regional chokehold. Will millions of Yemenis die, sustain disabling injuries and/or lose all future hope before things end? No nation in world history caused more harm to more people over a longer duration than America. None operate more ruthlessly. None more callously ignore human lives and welfare. None wage ...

Priority Saudi Targets in Yemen: Civilian Men, Women, Children and Infants by Stephen Lendman Saudi Arabia is a ruthless dictatorship. It's a rogue terror state. It brutalizes its own people. It punishes anyone challenging its rule with arbitrary arrests and imprisonment under horrific gulag conditions. Torture and physical abuse are commonplace. So are public whippings and beheadings. Fair public trials, due process and judicial fairness don't exist. Anyone charged by state authorities is automatically guilty by accusation. Harsh treatment follows. Most Saudi prisoners are political ones or for offenses too minor to matter. Human and civil rights are nonexistent. Despotic ...

Presstv... The commander of Iranian Army’s Ground Forces has warned Saudi Arabia of facing a crushing response from inside Yemen if the ongoing aggression against the Arab country continues. “The Saudi Arabian army has no war experience and is very fragile and if it is confronted with a war of attrition, it should await crushing blows and it will suffer heavy defeat,” Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said Sunday in an interview with Arabic-language news channel al-Alam. The Iranian commander further recommended the Saudi government to stop what he called “fratricide,” adding that Saudis’ past experiences in Yemen have proven that they will have no ...

Neocon Think Tank Proposes US Proxy Army to Control Syria by Stephen Lendman The Atlantic Council is a hawkish right-wing think tank. Its directors include a rogue's gallery of high-level US war criminals. It's notion of "working together to secure the future" is waging endless preemptive wars of aggression. Its Distinguished International Leadership Awards go to former US and other Western government and military officials for raping and plundering one country after another. It was founded in 1961 to support NATO's killing machine. It's one of many similar groups in America threatening world peace and stability. Its solution for ending Obama's war on ...

Saudis Using Banned Chemical Weapons in Yemen by Stephen Lendman Saudis are some of the world's most ruthless figures. They rule with an iron fist. They tolerate no opposition. They partner with Washington's regional wars. They were caught red-handed supplying Syrian takfiris with chemical weapons - used against defenseless civilians. They're at it again. Overnight reports indicate they attacked Yemen's Saada province with banned chemical agents. Toxic gas left scores of Yemeni civilians dead or injured. The exact number isn't known so far. Witnesses and aid workers said white smoke rose from Saudi terror-bombing. Injured victims experienced suffocation, nausea ...
Saudi Blood Money for Bloodletting in Yemen

Saudi Blood Money for Bloodletting in Yemen by Stephen Lendman UN officials appealed for an immediate $274 million in desperately needed emergency humanitarian aid for Yemenis. Saudi mass murderer/King Salman offered to contribute the entire amount - while he continues daily terror-bombing, targeting civilians and exacerbating a horrific humanitarian crisis. Billions of dollars in aid are needed to address it. A small fraction of it barely scratches the surface. Saudi oil wealth won't restore lost lives. It won't replace lost limbs. It won't soothe traumatized children. It won't erase the agony of lost loved ones. It won't stop US planned, orchestrated and directed ...

US-Sponsored Yemeni Terror-Bombing Continues by Stephen Lendman US-planned and orchestrated/Saudi-led terror-bombing continues into its 24th day - more intensively than earlier. Another Obama atrocity is unfolding in plain sight. Civilians are being deliberately murdered in cold blood. Some estimates put the death toll at over 2,700 - many thousands more injured. An appalling humanitarian crisis worsens daily. Iranian President Hassan Rohani condemned aggressor crimes - against "children, elderly women and men in Yemen," he said. "Why do the aggressors not extend a hand of friendship and reconciliation to other nations," he asked? "What is the point in ...

Yemeni Crisis Deepens by Stephen Lendman US-orchestrated/Saudi-led terror-bombing continues murdering defenseless Yemeni men, women and children daily. Genocide is occurring in plain sight. Media scoundrels ignore what demands screaming headlines of condemnation. Obama bears full responsibility. Saudis and other involved despotic regimes share it. So do Western leaders supporting an atrocity they should make every effort to stop. The World Food Program (WFP) said half of Yemen's 25 million people go hungry for lack of food. Starvation may claim many thousands. Untreated wounds for lack of available medicines and treatment may take thousands more. Young children and the elderly are ...

Syria Falsely Accused of Using Chemical Weapons - Again by Stephen Lendman Throughout years of Obama's war on Syria, President Bashar al-Assad was falsely accused of using chemical weapons (CWs) numerous times. No corroborating evidence whatever indicates Syrian forces used them in any form any time. Clear evidence shows IS, Nusra Front and other anti-Syrian elements used them them against defenseless civilians - including toxic agents Saudi Arabia supplied. Anti-Syrian propaganda is relentless. Assad repeatedly faces false accusations. During a Thursday closed-door Security Council session, members heard testimonies from Syrian doctors. They alleged use of chemical weapons. A ...

A Japanese university has opened a museum acknowledging that its staff dissected downed American airmen while they were still alive during World War II. A gruesome display at the newly-opened museum at Kyushu University explains how eight U.S. POWs were taken to the center’s medical school in Fukuoka after their plane was shot down over the skies of Japan in May 1945. The flyers were subjected to horrific medical experiments. Doctors dissected one soldier’s brain to see if epilepsy could be controlled by surgery, and removed parts of the livers of other prisoners as part of tests to see if they would survive. Another soldier was injected with seawater, in an experiment to see ...
