Kiev Breaches Kiev Agreement

Kiev Breaches Minsk Agreement by Stephen Lendman It didn't surprise. Talks were futile. Kiev straightaway breached what it agreed to. What it didn't intend observing in the first place. Even though ceasefire and other terms don't officially take effect until February 15. At the same time, Russia and rebels are consistently blamed for Kiev crimes. Propaganda wars rage. Outrageous Big Lies substitute for hard truths. Western media scoundrels sunk to new lows, if that's possible, given their longstanding scandalous geopolitical misreporting. Voice of Sevastopol reported heavy Kiev Friday shelling of civilian areas. It cited military correspondent Alexander Kievsky saying ...
Minsk Agreement: What's Most Important to Know

Minsk Agreement: What's Most Important to Know by Stephen Lendman Washington was the elephant in the room in Minsk. It controls Kiev's geopolitical agenda. Poroshenko is a convenient stooge. An impotent front man. Installed to do what he's told. Otherwise he'd be ousted like Yanukovych. Maybe killed by a bullet, bomb or slit throat. Coups and targeted assassinations reflect longstanding US policy. Presstitute media scoundrels suppress what's most important to know about Ukraine. Obama wants war, not peace. He didn't launch it to quit. Kiev proxies may be prelude to direct US involvement. If they continue failing, expect it. Obama wants control over all ...

The Ultimate Enemy of ISISPat Buchanan | Feb 13, 2015 Share on Facebook SHARES googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('div-gpt-1415411598-0'); }); The president's request for the authorization to use military force against the Islamic State has landed in a Congress as divided as the country.That division was mirrored in the disparate receptions Obama's resolution received from The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.To the Times, Obama's AUMF is "alarmingly broad. It does not limit the battlefield to Syria and Iraq." Moreover, Obama "seeks permission to attack 'associated persons or forces.'" This ...
What's Next in Donbas?

What's Next in Donbas? by Stephen Lendman The familiar scent of betrayal clouds just concluded Minsk ceasefire talks. Like previous times when hope exceeded reality. Donbas is Obama's war. Washington controls what's ongoing. It arms, funds, trains and directs Kiev's military. Neocons making policy want war, not peace. Chances for ending conflict are virtually nil. Obama didn't wage war to quit. Kiev violated last April's four-party agreement before the ink was dry. Hoped for peace was fantasy. A joint April 17 US/EU/Russia/Ukraine statement proved meaningless. Saying "(t)he Geneva meeting on the situation in Ukraine agreed on initial concrete steps to ...

Donbas Conflict Resolution in Minsk?

Donbas Conflict Resolution in Minsk? by Stephen Lendman Around midday Minsk time Thursday, Putin announced a ceasefire agreement was reached. More on this below. Previous efforts failed. Agreements last April in Geneva and Minsk in September were followed by continued conflict. Washington and Kiev stooges it controls bear full responsibility. It's hard imagining something different this time. Whatever is agreed on in principle or announced documents is meaningless without Obama calling off his dogs. Ending the war he began. Including cutting off all military aid to Ukraine. Withdrawing US-led NATO forces close to Russia's borders. Removing all US forces currently training ...
Presstitute Pro-War Chorus

Presstitute Pro-War Chorus by Stephen Lendman Presstitution in America is longstanding. The Brian Williams saga says less about him and more about a corrupted institution proliferating Big Lies on issues mattering most. Famed journalist George Seldes (1890 - 1995) railed against against "prostitution of the press" in the 1920s and 30s. He called fourth estate presstitutes "the most powerful force against the general welfare of the majority of the people." When America goes to war or plans one, media scoundrels march in lockstep. MSM pseudo-journalists operate as "shills, sellouts and media whores," says Gerald Celente. Managed news misinformation, willful ...

Previous efforts failed. Will this time be different? Don't bet on it. More on this below." Obama and Putin spoke. A White House statement combined the usual America supports peace rubbish with blaming Russia for US/Kiev crimes. Obama turned truth on its head saying "if Russia continues its aggressive actions in Ukraine, including by sending troops, weapons, and financing to support the separatists, the costs for Russia will ...

They speak for humanity, not just for Ukraines- These women speak for all of humanity when saying things like: Paraphrasing- The state takes away our human rights!- because they do!

Arming Ukraine: Ongoing Since Last Year

Arming Ukraine: Ongoing Since Last Year by Stephen Lendman Obama continues the charade about continuing diplomacy before deciding whether to supply Kiev with weapons and munitions. One last push for peace, he claimed. "If…diplomacy fails, what I've asked my team to do is to look at all the options." "And the possibility of lethal defensive weapons is one of those options that's being examined. But I have not made a decision about that yet." Fact: Obama is a serial liar. Nothing he says has credibility. Truth is polar opposite his Big Lies. Saying he'll do whatever it takes "to help Ukraine bolster its defenses in the face of separatist ...

Ukraine: A Platform for US War with Russia by Stephen Lendman Lunatics in Washington want regime change. They want Putin ousted. Pro-Western stooge governance replacing him. They want control over Russia's vast land mass. They want it balkanized like Yugoslavia. Its resources plundered. Its people transformed into serfs. Cold War political and economic tactics head toward turning hot. Throughout Putin's tenure, Washington goaded Russia irresponsibly. Carpet-bombing it with Big Lies. Putin doesn't believe Ukrainian crisis conditions sparked Western anti-Russian policies. "If all this had never happened, any other excuse would have been created," he said last ...

42 ADMITTED FALSE FLAG ATTACKS

Governments from Around the World Admit They Do It There are many documented false flag attacks, where a government carries out a terror attack … and then falsely blames its enemy for political purposes. In the following 42 instances, officials in the government which carried out the attack (or seriously proposed an attack) admits to it, either orally or in writing: (1) Japanese troops set off a small explosion on a train track in 1931, and falsely blamed it on China in order to justify an invasion of Manchuria. This is known as the “Mukden Incident” or the “Manchurian Incident”. The Tokyo International Military Tribunal found: “Several of the participators ...
Can another world war be avoided?

Pravda... Is there anything ordinary civilians can do to avoid war? What power or influence does the average citizen of a modern "Western democracy" really have? At a time when US President Obama, (you know, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize), is doing everything he can to bring about a war with Russia, can he still be stopped? Is there any chance of bringing the Obama regime to reason? Would Obama listen? Would the other intellectually challenged members of his entourage, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, John Kerry, the bosses of the espionage services and the Pentagon, would they listen? Is there any way such people can be reached by ordinary citizens? What about the US client states ...

Russian Aggression: The Big Lie Blasted Worldwide Ad Nauseam by Stephen Lendman Try imagining one dollar for each time Western officials and presstitute media scoundrels screamed "Russian aggression" daily since US planned, directed and implemented Kiev aggression on Donbas began last April. Easily enough for round-trip first class travel from any point of departure to any destination several times over. Plus ground transportation, 5-star hotel accommodations, first-class meals, miscellaneous expenses, with enough left for souvenir trip remembrances. Big Lies have a life of their own.

Munich's March to War with Russia by Stephen Lendman This year's Munich Security Conference features a shocking but unsurprising drumbeat of anti-Russian hate-mongering. RT International called proceedings a Russian "hate fest." An outrageous display of US-led Western cynicism, Russia-bashing, and Big Lies heading things toward East/West confrontation. Vice President Joe Biden shames the office he holds. He's a caricature of a high US official and then some. "Europe is the cornerstone of US engagement around the world," he said. Code language for US- dominated NATO global aggression. Russia bashing followed. Biden lied claiming Moscow aims "to ...
Bad News for Lockheed's F-35 Stealth Fighter: This Warplane Has "Serious Deficiencies"

Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT ) has an F-35 stealth fighter jet -- but can it shoot? We posed this question last month, in the midst of a "he said-she said" battle waged between the Pentagon's F-35 Joint Project Office and ... The Daily Beast, which alleges the Pentagon is misleading taxpayers (and Congress) about when the F-35's 25mm nose cannon will be ready for combat. Says the Pentagon, development of "3F" software needed to operate the gun is on track, and should begin rolling out by 2017. According to the Beast, though, the software is behind schedule and won't reach combat pilots before "late 2018 at the very earliest." As a result, F-35 pilots ...

Obama's New National Security Strategy: Ugly Business As Usual by Stephen Lendman Periodic National Security Strategy (NSS) documents reveal Washington's dark side. Updated versions reflect old wine in new bottles. Including permanent wars on humanity. Against one invented enemy after another. Waging what the late Gore Vidal called "perpetual war for perpetual peace." Making the world safe for monied interests. At the expense of popular ones. At the cost of millions of lives and appalling human misery. Endless US direct and proxy wars rage against multiple countries. New conflicts await to be launched. The business of America is war. Destroying humanity one country ...

Failed Ukraine Peace Talks by Stephen Lendman Call it preordained. It didn't surprise despite typical diplomatic rhetoric following Friday's Moscow talks. More on this below. Washington's dirty hands operate everywhere overtly and covertly. Failure was manipulated behind the scenes. Obama wants war, not peace. He wants Donbas democracy crushed. Hardline fascist rule throughout Ukraine. All former Soviet republics and Warsaw Pact countries incorporated into NATO. Ukraine most of all. Washington is using it as a dagger targeting Russia's heartland. America's ultimate goal is regime change. Ousting Putin. Replacing his government with pro-Western stooges. America ...

Kiev's Junta: Talking Peace, Waging War by Stephen Lendman It bears repeating what other articles explained. Ukraine is Washington's newest colony. US-installed putschists run things. Waging war on their own citizens as Pentagon proxies. Despite over two-thirds of Ukrainians wanting peace. The vast majority of Donbas residents want fighting ended. Dirty war without mercy rages. Throughout months of conflict, Washington continues supplying heavy weapons, funding, training and direction covertly. CIA, FBI, special forces and other US operates infest Kiev. Joe Biden, John Kerry, Victoria Nuland, John Brennan and other US officials show up regularly to issue marching orders. ...

Obama Wants Congressional Authorization for Unlimited War by Stephen Lendman What do you call a nation permanently at war with invented enemies? An asylum run by lunatics. They infest Washington. Many influence policies. Others make it. Obama already risks the unthinkable. Possible war with Russia. Using Ukraine as a dagger at its heartland. Positioning thousands of US-led NATO troops near its borders. Recklessly risking nuclear war. Daily events should scare everyone. "NATO Boosts Rapid Reaction Strike Force For War With Russia," Stop NATO headlined. Claiming growing threats doesn't wash. Invented ones stoke fear-mongering.

Don’t Hate Chris Kyle—or the Iraqis

“I hated the damn savages… I could give a flying f*** about the Iraqis,” wrote the late Chris Kyle in his 2013 memoir, American Sniper.
As the Clint Eastwood-directed biopic about Kyle continues to do big box office, The Guardian’s Lindy West asked why so many were celebrating a “hate filled killer.” West wasn’t the only one who wondered why so many were proud of this “psychopath.”
National Review’s Ian Tuttle notes how some of Kyle’s controversial comments may have been taken out of context. For example, Kyle actually wrote, “I hated the damn savages I’d been fighting,” (emphasis added) which is significantly different from how West’s edit portrays him. ...

"Later today in the afternoon, we will depart for Kiev, where we will make a new proposal on the conflict settlement bas(ed) on the territorial integrity of ...

The votes are in and the decision is overwhelmingly clear. Chris Kyle—the Navy SEAL portrayed in the blockbuster movie purported killer of some 200 Iraqis during four tours of duty—is the people’s choice. From record ticket sales to major media accolades, from the halls of Congress to the White House, the nation has spoken: “American Sniper” is all-American. Chris Kyle—the most lethal killer in U.S. military history, a true hero, a brave warrior—has been anointed as a role model for all that America has come to stand for. “American Sniper has the look of a bona fide cultural phenomenon!” said Brandon Griggs of CNN. And as Michelle Obama ...
