Congressional Task Force Chair Warns Americans to Prepare for Terrorism Thursday, 12 Mar 2015 05:28 PM By Greg Richter Americans should prepare to protect their homes, businesses, and families in the event of a terrorist attack or a natural disaster, says Rep. Robert Pittenger. The North Carolina Republican is chairman of the Congressional Taskforce on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, which has prepared a manual to guide people on what to do to prepare for emergencies. The 24-page booklet, available for download at Pittenger's official congressional website, was started "long before the threat of ISIS became eminent, the concern over thousands of terrorists with Western ...

Hyping a Nonexistent Russian Threat by Stephen Lendman Western fear-mongering persists. Russia is relentlessly bashed. Putin is irresponsibly considered public enemy number one. Cold War 2.0 rages - heading dangerously toward becoming red-hot. Top US officials consistently lie. One fabricated Russian invasion of Ukraine after another is hyped. In his January State of the Union address, Obama accused Russia of "aggression" in Ukraine despite none at any time during ongoing conflict Earlier he said "Russian combat forces and tanks" invaded Ukraine "with Russian weapons and Russian tanks." "(T)hese are the facts. They are provable. They're not ...

Kiev Junta War Crimes by Stephen Lendman A new Foundation for the Study of Democracy (FSD) report is titled "War crimes of the armed forces and security forces of Ukraine: torture of the Donbass region residents." It provides graphic evidence of horrendous Kiev war crimes Western media ignore. Earlier articles discussed Kiev's dirty war. It deliberately targeted civilian neighborhoods, schools, hospitals and infrastructure. It used of cluster munitions, white phosphorous and other chemical weapons, as well as cold-blooded murder of hundreds of captives. Most were abducted civilians. They were brutally tortured, murdered and secretly buried. Eyewitnesses exposed the ...

Washington and Kiev Willfully Sabotaging Minsk Agreement by Stephen Lendman Washington and Kiev partner in high crimes against peace. Obama uses junta proxies to wage naked aggression against Donbass residents. They reject fascist rule. They want democratic rights everyone deserves. Minsk failed like earlier agreements. Washington and Kiev sabotaged it. Fascists don't negotiate in good faith. Expect full-scale war resumed at Obama's discretion - most likely this spring. Kiev refuses to observe Minsk ceasefire terms it agreed to. Heavy weapons were repositioned, not withdrawn. Economic blockade continues. In late February, the Ron Paul Institute (RPI) accused Washington, ...

The New York Times War on Truth Revisited by Stephen Lendman The Times consistently buries hard truths on issues mattering most. Managed news misinformation rubbish substitutes. Professional integrity isn't its long suit. It violates its own editorial policy on ethics in journalism. It professes one thing. It does another without apology or explanation. Its longstanding record belies its high-minded rhetoric. Popular interests don't matter. Corporate ones count most. When America goes to war or plans one, Times editors march in lockstep. Rule of law principles are ignored. So does human suffering. US installed Ukrainian Nazis are called democrats. Russia and Donbass freedom ...

A Description of Life-Ending Nuclear War by Stephen Lendman Think nuclear war is nothing to worry about. Think again! Nuclear incineration is no way to go. On February 26, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) headlined "What would happen if an 800-kiloton nuclear warhead detonated above midtown Manhattan?" Saying "Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles are believed to carry a total of approximately 1,000 strategic nuclear warheads that can hit the US less than 30 minutes after being launched." "Of this total, about 700 warheads are rated at 800 kilotons; that is, each has the explosive power of 800,000 tons of TNT." It's hard imagining ...
USA Today Reveals Ukrainian Forces Include Nazis

USA Today Reveals Ukrainian Forces Include Nazis by Stephen Lendman Ukraine is a US-installed hotbed of Nazi extremism - a scourge in Europe's heartland. It threatens continental peace. Numerous articles by this writer and others explained Obama replaced Ukrainian democrats with fascist thugs. He installed mob rule by coup d'etat in February 2014. Media scoundrels call them democrats. They combine police state repression with neoliberal harshness, massive corruption and war on their own citizens. USA Today partly acknowledged what other presstitutes entirely ignore. Instead of explaining illegitimate US-installed fascists run Ukraine, it only discussed what it called "(a) ...

Investigated for War Crimes Auto Start: On | Off U.S.-trained and armed Iraqi military units, the key to the American strategy against ISIS, are under investigation for committing some of the same atrocities as the terror group, American and Iraqi officials told ABC News. Some Iraqi units have already been cut off from U.S. assistance over "credible" human rights violations, according to a senior military official on the Pentagon's Joint Staff. The investigation, being conducted by the Iraqi government, was launched after officials were confronted with numerous allegations of “war crimes,” based in part on dozens of ghastly videos ...

Venezuelan Anti-Imperialist Enabling Law by Stephen Lendman On March 11, Venezuela's National Assembly granted President Nicholas Maduro enabling law powers in response to his request for "anti-imperialist (legislation) to prepare for all scenarios." It followed Obama outrageously declaring Venezuela a threat to US national security. A previous article discussed his "aggression" against Venezuelan sovereign independence. It represents the threat of a good example. Obama fears its spread. He issued a lawless diktat - usurping powers reserved solely for Security Council members. They alone may impose sanctions - not individual countries for any reason. Obama ...

Pravda.Ru US hires Russian-speaking men for drills with US Marines for $19 an hour. Russian speakers wanted for drills with US marines AP photo A job ad seeking Russian and Ukrainian men for combat drills with US Marines has recently attracted a lot of public attention on the Internet. It goes about targeted training for US soldiers in military actions against Eastern Slavs, Pravda.Ru says. The ad requests Ukrainian and Russian speaking men between the ages of 18 and 65 to take part in an 'immersive simulation training program' with US Marines between March 29th and March 31st of 2015. This temporary position will pay these men $19 an hour for an 8 to 12 hour day shift. ...

Fascism: Humanity's Scourge by Stephen Lendman It gave us Hitler and Mussolini. Today it's headquartered in Washington - with global client states run by puppets serving US interests. Subservient Western countries recklessly support America’s imperial agenda. Fascist regimes combine perpetual wars with corporate empowerment, massive corruption and police state harshness. Ukraine is in the eye of the storm. It's a cancer in Europe's heartland. It's terrorizing millions of Ukrainians deserving better. It risks potentially catastrophic European war. Last year, Donbass residents rebelled. They reject fascist viciousness. They want democratic freedoms everyone ...

Ukraine on the Boil: Washington Prepares for Greater War by Stephen Lendman Ukraine is an American colony - a client state run by US-installed Nazi thugs in Europe's heartland. It's a weapon targeting Russia. Vicious propaganda blames Moscow irresponsibly for US/Kiev high crimes. Minsk failed. Low-intensity conflict continues - heading for resumed full-flown war at Washington's discretion. On Tuesday, Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) spokesman Eduard Basurin was blunt saying: Since both sides agreed to Minsk ceasefire terms on February 12, "the number of episodes of targeted shelling of our positions by Ukrainian troops has exceeded 400." In the last 24 hours ...

States craft terror definitions and designations to absolve themselves and satisfy their constituencies. The Washington Post reports that “terrorism trend lines are ‘worse than at any other point in history.’” But what is terrorism? It has frequently been pointed out that “terrorism” is a tactic, not an actual physical adversary, but it is less often noted that a simple definition of what constitutes terrorism is hardly universally accepted, while the designation itself is essentially political. The glib assertion that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter fails to capture the distinction’s consequences as the terror label itself ...

Fascist Republican Senators Threaten Iran by Stephen Lendman Lunatics infesting Washington make their own rules - made up to suit their warped objectives. On March 9, 47 fascist Republican senators addressed "An Open Letter to the Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran." They acted recklessly like Netanyahu. The intervened directly into (multi-nation) P5+1 talks. They warned any deal Obama negotiates without legislative approval may be reversed by the next president "with a stroke of a pen." Washington's hate-mongering crowd wants possible rapprochement with Iran sabotaged. They want permanent wars, not peace. They want Israel's reckless agenda served. ...
US Saber-Rattling on Russia's Borders

US Saber-Rattling on Russia's Borders by Stephen Lendman Washington keeps upping the stakes for direct confrontation with Russia. It risks unthinkable nuclear war. Rogue states operate this way. America is by far the worst. Incorporating former Soviet republics and Warsaw Pact countries into NATO represents a major threat to Russia's security. Surrounding it with US bases heads things toward possible conflict. America's relentless push east may launch WW III - like Hitler's land grabs began WW II in September 1939. Thousands of US boots on the ground, tanks and other military hardware in Latvia represent Obama's latest affront - another provocation daring ...

Obama Declares Venezuelan Democracy a Threat to US National Security by Stephen Lendman TeleSUR reported Obama committed "aggression" against Venezuelan sovereign independence, Its model democracy is the hemisphere's best. It shames America's sham system. Elections when held are farcical - with no legitimacy whatever. Duopoly power rules. It's totally beholden to monied interests - Wall Street and other corporate crooks. What they say goes. Ordinary people are entirely shut out. Another article explained their electoral choice is between death by hanging or firing squad. Jimmy Carter calls Venezuela's electoral process the world's best. America's is ...

Proposed European Army: Good Idea or Bad? by Stephen Lendman For sure what the world needs now is less militarism, not more. World peace depends on demilitarization - especially eliminating all radiological, chemical, biological and other banned weapons. The only positive argument for militarizing Europe more than already would be if doing so dented US- dominated NATO, - if it meant breaking with the Alliance aimed at eliminating it altogether. Not for reasons EU Commission head Jean-Claude Junker cites. He's a former Luxembourg prime minister. His proposal is polar opposite what's needed. It's lunacy. He long argued for establishing a separate European force. He claims ...

The Unthinkable: Possible Nuclear War with Russia by Stephen Lendman Lunatics running things in Washington make anything possible. Obama looks like Bush on steroids. Neocons infest his administration and Congress. Permanent war on humanity more than ever is official US policy. Ukraine is ground zero. Ongoing conflict risks the unthinkable - direct US confrontation with Russia risking nuclear war. Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev warned Ukraine's conflict could "unavoidably lead to a nuclear war.." Nuclear arms expert Steven Starr warned about things headed recklessly toward this possibility. Nuclear expert Helen Caldicott believes US/Russian confrontation risks ...

Obama's Neocon Infested Administration by Stephen Lendman Obama's legacy won't please him when independently written. He entered office promising "hope and change." He delivered demagogic Big Lies, permanent wars on humanity, police state repression, and outlandish corporate favoritism at the expense of beneficial social change. He appointed a rogue's gallery of scoundrels to top administration posts. John Kerry and Hillary Clinton are unindicted war criminals. They're arguably America's most venal ever Secretaries of State. Their rap sheets fill volumes. They're neocon extremists masquerading as democrats. So is National Security Advisor Susan ...

Washington Prepares for Ground War in Syria by Stephen Lendman How many simultaneous wars can America wage? How many more does Obama have in mind? As long as neocon lunatics run Washington's asylum, expect wars without end to rage - against one country after another until perhaps all planet earth is turned to smoldering rubble. On March 4, the Military Times headlined "Dempsey does not rule out US ground troops in Syria." Saying Joint Chiefs chairman General Martin Dempsey told House Appropriations Committee defense subcommittee members US forces may be sent to Syria. "If the commander on the ground approaches either me or the secretary of defense and believes that ...

Nuland Lied to Congress about Phantom Russian Hoards in Ukraine by Stephen Lendman Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland represents the worst of America's dark side. Her rap sheet reads like convicted Nazis hanged for high crimes against peace. A fascist neocon by any standard, she's a former Dick Cheney aide. She was Obama point person in charge of Washington's February 2014 coup in Ukraine. Fascism reemerged in Europe's heartland for the first time since WW II. Nazis replaced democrats. Naked aggression followed against Donbass Ukrainians wanting to live free from its scourge. Governance Washington installed in Ukraine is a blight on humanity. Fascists in ...

Poroshenko Prepares for More War by Stephen Lendman Sustainable, durable peace in Donbass is pure fantasy. Obama won't tolerate it. Poroshenko is a convenient US stooge. His power depends on remembering who's boss. Given his colossal failures to please the power installing him, his days perhaps are numbered. He admitted Minsk terms won't hold. They won't "be strictly implemented," he said. In less than so many words he intends more war once his military regroups and rearms from the battering it took. it suffered one major defeat after another - especially in Devaltseve. He introduced legislation authorizing a 250,000-strength force. "The size of ...

Claim to have shot down US chopper full of weapons Report: Iraqi Forces AGAIN Claim US is Supplying ISIS with Weapon Drops Iraqi forces have once again sensationally charged that the US military is purposefully dropping weapons to terrorist militants in the western parts of the country, according to a report. The Iranian Fars News Agency reports “A group of Iraqi popular forces known as Al-Hashad Al-Shabi shot down a US Army helicopter that was carrying weapons for the ISIL in the western parts of Al-Baqdadi region in Al-Anbar province” last week. The report claims that the fighters posted a picture (see above) online of the downed chopper and the weapons that were recovered. ...
