Russia Bashing Big Lies Persist by Stephen Lendman Washington and go-along presstitute media Big Lies exceed anything in memory throughout the Cold War. Despite Ukraine's military chief, OSCE monitors, Ukrainian officials inspecting its border areas with Russia, Dutch experts, and French President Francois Hollande concurring on no Russia troops involved in Ukraine, outlandish Big Lies persist. Hollande's comments are the latest at a joint news conference with Angela Merkel. He said no evidence shows Russian forces in Ukraine. Putin respects Ukrainian sovereignty. Moscow intends no military operations against Ukraine. He "does not want to annex Eastern Ukraine" or ...
The Real American Sniper: Why Chris Kyle Wasn’t A Hero [Full Thread]

The following words are not meant to spit on the grave of Chris Kyle, but rather address a reality that may be unpleasant for many to hear. Chris Kyle was not a hero. He did not protect America or keep it safe. He killed a lot. He also, apparently, lied a lot as well. Sometimes truth lies beyond the lens of star-spangled glasses and once you have the courage to look beyond a constructed work of fiction, you may realize that the facts do not align with your belief system. It may not be easy, but sometimes the truth is harsh. If we, as a people are genuinely in pursuit of truth and the justice that follows, we must distance ourselves from the warm feelings that certain narratives provide and ...

Turkish Forces Attack Syrian Troops by Stephen Lendman Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government partners with Obama's dirty war on Syria. CIA and US Special Forces arm and train IS terrorists in Turkish territory together with its military. A Thursday agreed on deal affirms what's been ongoing all along covertly. Once readied for combat, death squad extremists head cross border to wage war on Assad. For nearly four years, Obama waged proxy war to oust him - complicit with Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, other Gulf States, Jordan, Britain, and France. In January, Pentagon sources confirmed deploying hundreds more US special forces and support personnel to train thousands of ...

Obama's Ukraine Agenda: Fascist Governance, Oppression, War, Chaos, Human Misery, Economic Bankruptcy, Collapsed Social Order, Mob Rule by Stephen Lendman February 22 marks the US orchestrated Maidan coup anniversary. The most brazen European one since Mussolini's 1922 march on Rome. Fascist putschists replaced democrats. Overt Nazis hold real power in Europe's heartland for the first time since WW II. Ukraine is the epicenter of possible European war. It's a dagger targeting Russia's heartland. America's strategy to topple its government could launch WW III. Maybe a major US initiated false flag away. Or hugely provocative US encroachment near Russia's ...
War, lies and Brian Williams

“If people really knew, the war would be stopped tomorrow. But of course they don’t know, and can’t know.” — British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, 1917. The cardinal sin committed by NBC anchorman Brian Williams was embellishing his own experiences, particularly reporting on the war in Iraq. That is going to cost him a six-month suspension and possibly derail his future in broadcast news. That Williams did such a thing is not surprising in the age in which we live where politicians and people that report the “news” are celebrities. But the real reason Williams should be run out of the business is his failure to live up to his fiduciary duty to report ...

Obama's Demagoguery on Countering Violent Extremism

Obama's Demagoguery on Countering Violent Extremism by Stephen Lendman Obama proliferates Big Lies. He's incapable of truth-telling. On February 18, he delivered closing remarks at the just concluded White House summit on countering violent extremism. Last month, Obama's press secretary Josh Earnest called it a summit "to highlight domestic and international efforts to prevent violent extremists and their supporters from radicalizing, recruiting, or inspiring individuals or groups in the United States and abroad to commit acts of violence, efforts made even more imperative in light of recent, tragic attacks in Ottawa, Sydney, and Paris." "This summit will ...

The former Guantanamo prisoner won a legal challenge on Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2015 to his terrorism conviction before a military court. The U.S. Court of Military Commission Review struck down the March 2007 conviction of David Hicks in a unanimous ruling that reverses what had been one of the government’s few successes in prosecuting prisoners at Guantanamo.

Poroshenko Wants NATO Troops in Donbass by Stephen Lendman He's desperate. He calls them European peacekeepers. He wants them after suffering catastrophic defeat in Debastsevo. More on this below. The Saker web site reports rebel forces in total control of Debastsevo. It cites Russian sources saying about 1,000 troops didn't surrender. Sputnik News reported Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) military spokesman Eduard Basurin estimating about 3,000 junta troops remaining. Rebels intend simply waiting them out to succumb to hunger, cold and recognition that continued fighting is futile. They can't last much longer. They're virtually out of ammunition and food. ...

Bashing Russia and Rebels for Kiev Crimes by Stephen Lendman The same Big Lies repeat since conflict began last April. No letup whatever followed the latest attempt to resolve things diplomatically in Minsk on February 12. Russia and rebels are consistently blamed for naked Kiev aggression, brutal atrocities, and post- Geneva/Minsk I and II violations. Joe Biden spoke to Poroshenko following rebel forces routing junta troops in Debaltsevo. Thousands were forced to surrender. Kiev abandoned them. Rebel forces won a strategic victory. German intelligence says Kiev's military is disintegrating. They're outmaneuvered, outsmarted, outfought and soundly defeated. Biden and ...

Kiev Surrenders Debaltsevo: A Key Strategic Victory for Rebel Forces by Stephen Lendman Ukraine's Unian information agency announced it headlining "Ukraine withdrawing troops from Debaltseve." Kiev's battalion commander Semen Semenchenko announced it on Facebook. Saying "(a) planned and organized withdrawal of troops from Debaltseve is being carried out." "All the stories about (Ukraine) regaining control in Logvinovo have proved to be false." "We have no control over Debaltseve-Artemivsk highway either, because of Logvinovo situation." "Other roads are controlled by the National Guard, Donbas and part of the Armed Forces of ...
Ukrainian soldiers withdraw from key town of Debaltseve: Sources

PressTV... Some government troops have retreated from the strategic eastern Ukrainian town of Debaltseve, which has been besieged by pro-Russia forces, sources say. “We are evacuating some of our units,” Ilya Kiva, a local police officer, said on Wednesday morning, adding, “But full-scale street fighting continues, and there was also a small tank battle.” The pro-Russians said they have the town under their control and offered the Ukrainian military forces a chance to give in, an allegation that was denied by Kiev. The pro-Russia forces staged five artillery strikes on Debaltseve overnight, thus “grossly violating the peace accords” that came into effect on ...

Ukraine Conflict Continues Despite Ceasefire by Stephen Lendman It doesn't surprise. Washington wants war, not peace. So does Kiev. On Tuesday, RT International's press crew was shelled near Donetsk's airport. At the time, they were filming. Correspondent Murad Gazdiev twittered: "Just came under #Ukrainian mortar fire in #donetsk airport. Seemed to be targeting us. Footage on RT. Everyone fine." On air, Gazdiev said: "When we were about halfway through the airport - we were by the hangars - mortar shells started whistling down right next to us, within 50 to 100 meters." "There was a lot of cover and we got behind that. There were a dozen, maybe ...

America's Interventionist Legacy: Failed States by Stephen Lendman Wherever America intervenes, failed states follow. Pro-Western stooge regimes replace sitting governments. They fail to provide essential functions, services and/or responsibilities required of sovereign independent ones. Failed state examples include Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Haiti, Honduras, Somalia, Yemen and Ukraine. Syria's government maintains power despite having lost control of much of its territory. Wikipedia lists the following characteristics of failed states: "Loss of control of its territory, or the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force therein." "Erosion of legitimate ...

Post-Minsk EU Sanctions on Russia by Stephen Lendman Imposing new sanctions shows Brussels wants confrontation, not conflict resolution. Russia's NATO representative, Alexander Grushko, calls relations with the Alliance "close to the freezing point." "(W)e…have (no) illusions regarding the dangers that might be caused by NATO," he said. (It) found a new meaning of life. (It's) play(ing) out against us, against Russia." On February 16, Brussels sanctioned 19 more Russian and Donbas officials. Its blacklist totals 151 individuals, as well as 37 Russian companies and other entities. Sanctions are war by other means. Three top Russian military ...

Washington Wants War with Russia by Stephen Lendman French newspaper Le Point says NATO wants war with Russia. NATO means America. It dominates Alliance policy. Le Point cited the following provocations: • Eastern European Alliance expansion; • encroaching menacingly on Russia's borders; • encirclement with US bases; and • using Ukraine as a pretext for confrontation. Sputnik News (SN) discussed what demands worldwide reporting. Citing Le Point, it headlined "NATO Pushes for War by Encircling Russia." Getting involved in Ukraine is a way to justify its existence, said SN. US-dominated NATO needs enemies to warrant spending hundreds of billions of ...

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- The White House on Sunday described murders of 21 Egyptian citizens in Libya by the Islamic State as "despicable and cowardly" and urged the Libyans to reject extremist groups and all acts of terrorism. "This wanton killing of innocents is just the most recent of the many vicious acts perpetrated by ISIL-affiliated terrorists against the people of the region," said a White House statement, adding that the incident only further galvanized the international community to unite against IS. The statement also called for a political resolution to the conflict in Libya, warning that continued internal conflicts only benefit terrorist groups. ...

Britain and Canada Involved in Foiled US Venezuelan Coup Plot by Stephen Lendman Together they're an axis of evil. Deploring democracy. Waging war on humanity. Serving monied interests at the expense of popular ones. Employing no-holds-barred tactics. State terrorism by any standard. A previous article discussed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro explaining Obama's plot to kill him, oust his government, and seize power forcefully was thwarted. Washington wants all sovereign independent governments toppled. It tolerates none anywhere. It wants pro-Western regimes serving US interests worldwide. Especially in resource rich countries like Venezuela. TeleSUR provided details on ...
Ceasefire in Donbas?

Ceasefire in Donbass? by Stephen Lendman Minsk reflects pause, not cessation of conflict. Call it a relative calm before a greater storm. Previous articles explained a durable, sustainable peace in Donbass is pure fantasy. Two previous ceasefires were agreed on. Followed by partial cessation of hostilities, then resumption of full-scale conflict. Will this time be different? It hard imagining how given events so far. Nothing suggests Washington abandoned its intent for total control over Ukraine nationwide - by any means necessary, including full-scale war with US troops directly involved. Unchallenged dominance is embedded in America's DNA. It remains to be seen how, when, and ...

PressTV... Israeli atrocity and imposed misery continues unchecked in Gaza. This summer’s wholesale slaughter did nothing to improve the lives of Palestinians. In Gaza, it’s much worse. As explored in last week’s Press TV article, an examination of the list of crimes committed against the Gaza population, just since the advent of this New Year, shows clearly six obvious conclusions. 1) Horrific Israeli aggression against Gazans continues daily, 2) Israel has no intention of honoring the terms of the August, 2014 ceasefire agreement, 3) At the peace table, neither Israel, Egypt, nor the Palestinian Authority, is actually pursuing peace for Gaza, 4) Politicians across the ...

Post-Minsk Russia Bashing by Stephen Lendman It doesn't surprise. Demonizing Russia is longstanding US policy. Presstitute media scoundrels march dutifully in lockstep. Worse than ever now on Ukraine. Truth-telling obliterated by a daily blitzkrieg of Big Lies. A shocking display of media malpractice. Progressive Radio News Hour guest Larry Pinkney justifiably calls their reporting "vomit." The good news is growing numbers of people reject it. The bad news is most still accept what demands rejection. Irresponsible willful deception. State propaganda masquerading as real journalism. Dangerous stuff driving things inexorably toward East/West confrontation. Like The New ...
