Turkish President's Stunning Outburst: The French Are Behind The Charlie Hebdo Massacre; Mossad Blamed

It was less than 48 hours ago when Turkey’s prime minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, joined millions marching in Paris to pay tribute to the 17 people killed by ISIS-supporting extremists. Then, almost the moment he got back, things changed, and as the FT politely paraphrases what transpired, the “country’s president struck a much more confrontational tone.” That’s one way of putting it. Another is that the former PM and current president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, of NATO- member Turkey did the unthinkable: accused the west, and French citizens in particular, of staging the Charlie Hebdo murder in order to blame Muslims, even as the mayor of Ankara said “Mossad is ...

Netanyahu in Paris by Stephen Lendman He finds ways of giving chutzpah new meaning. Gatecrashing his latest offense. Showing up where not wanted. French President Francois Hollande's national security advisor, Jacques Audibert, asked him not to come. Through his Israeli counterpart, Yossi Cohen. Saying Sunday's event wanted to demonstrate solidarity with France. Avoid divisive issues. Like Israeli/Palestinian relations. Longstanding unresolved conflict. Daily Israeli state terror against millions of long-suffering Palestinians. Audibert hoped Netanyahu would avoid controversy and stay home. Especially not take advantage for campaigning purposes. With Israeli elections two ...

Kiev Big Lie on Ending Donbas Conflict in Two Weeks by Stephen Lendman Washington runs things in Ukraine. It newest colony. Kiev's illegitimate puppet government serves its interests. Ruthlessly exploiting its people in the process. America wants unchallenged control over Ukraine's entire land mass. As a dagger pointed at Russia's heart. Ukraine is a pretext. Regime change in Russia the objective. Gaining another US colony. Eliminating a major rival. Stealing its vast resources. Exploiting its people. Turning them into serfs. Isolating China. Repeating the process against Beijing. Transforming nations into a ruler/serf societies. More unfit to live in than ever. Coups, ...
The Pro-Israel Meme: Mighty Demonstration of Engineered Propaganda

The Pro-Israel Meme: Mighty Demonstration of Engineered Propaganda Some people are condoning Israeli war crimes in Gaza using logic that says that Israel "has a right to defend itself". That logic is not based on any reason and deceptively implies that Israel is the victim here, was attacked first, and is BEING attacked. Israel has produced little to no evidence of the damage these rockets have caused and we see no images of atrocities in Israel. The reason none of this adds up is because the entire pro-Israel meme is one big psyop on Americans who believe mainstream media pundits. This new sophisticated propaganda is being pushed by the Zionist controlled western mainstream ...

Hypocrisy in Paris by Stephen Lendman Sunday headlines said huge crowds massed in Paris. Protected by "unparalleled" security, according to AP. Including thousands of police and military forces. Along the two-mile Boulevarde Voltaire route marchers took. An "unprecedented tribute," said Reuters. Showing "unity and defiance," claimed The New York Times. "(S)olidarity following three days of terrorist attacks that badly shook the nation," said the Washington Post. "Paris displays defiance with huge rally," headlined the Wall Street Journal. "Paris urged to 'come in numbers' to defy Islamist terror," said the Los ...

Waging Phony War on Terror by Stephen Lendman Waging it isn't new. Enemies are needed. When none exist they're invented. Reagan denounced the "evil scourge of terrorism." Specifically state-sponsored international terrorism. The "plague of the modern age," he said. His Secretary of State George Schultz called it "modern barbarism. (A) form of political violence. (A) threat to Western civilization. (A) menace to Western moral values." GW Bush declared war on terrorism. To "rid the world of evildoers. (N)ot let evil stand." Orwell said political rhetoric defends the indefensible. So-called wars on terrorism are wars of terrorism. ...

Field Notes on Reality: Hard Truths Buried When Most Needed by Stephen Lendman Western societies are rife with hypocrisy. Imperial wars are called liberating ones. State-sponsored propaganda glorifies them in the name of peace. Terrorism is what they do. Not us. Media scoundrels regurgitate official Big Lies ad nauseam. Burying hard truths when most needed. Willfully deceiving readers and viewers. Supporting powerful monied interests. At the expense of ordinary people struggling to survive. Growing numbers fighting a losing battle. Crushed by so-called Western civilization. Destroying humanity one country at a time. Today's world is increasingly hostile. Mindless of vital people ...
Can a Gold Plated Military Counter ISIS

Can a Gold-Plated Military Counter ISIS? Lightly armed guerrilla/insurgent/terrorist forces are once again holding off the high-tech, heavily armed forces of the United States. A string of defeats is slowly accumulating at the strategic and grand-strategic levels of conflict, even though US forces almost always win battles at the tactical level, if they can fix the insurgents and destroy them with overwhelming firepower, particularly bombing. But when viewed through the overlapping lenses of the operational, strategic, and grand strategic levels of conflict guerrillas have advantages to offset US firepower. Faced with the tactical threat of overwhelming conventional firepower, irregular ...
The “Hard Hand of War”

The kind of military onslaught that Union Gen. William Sherman unleashed on the South, beginning with his infamous conquest of Atlanta and subsequent “March to the Sea,” followed by his capture of Savannah 150 years ago this month, came to be called, in the 20th century, “total war.” That meant a war waged with full military mobilization not only against the enemy army but upon civilians in enemy territory and their property, stores and factories, with murder, looting, arson and assault from which neither women, children, the elderly or infirm were spared. It had never been seen before in the history of civilization, and it set a precedent for the all-out slaughters ...

Waging War on Islam by Stephen Lendman It's the wrong time to be Muslim in America. It's post-9/11 target of choice. Allied with Britain, France and other rogue NATO partners. Israel against Palestine. Media scoundrels in lockstep. Regurgitating official pronouncements. Accepting them like gospel. With no due diligence checking. No disputing official accounts. No questioning their veracity. Muslims accused of terrorism are automatically guilty. Case closed. Evidence when absent is invented. Accusations alone suffice. Western vilification of Islam is longstanding, vicious and unjustifiable. The late Edward Said explained how Western sources misinterpret East/West relations. ...

Michael Hayden: Paris Attack Is 'New Flavor of Islamic Terrorism' Wednesday, 07 Jan 2015 10:46 AM By Melissa Clyne Wednesday’s deadly terrorist attack by hooded gunmen at the offices of a Paris satirical magazine is likely the wave of the future, says Michael Hayden, former head of the National Security Agency and the CIA, who appeared Wednesday on "America’s Forum" on Newsmax TV. "We’re going to get the kinds of attacks like a drive-by shooting in Little Rock or an SUV in Times Square or the kind of event that we see today," Hayden said, noting that officials think terror groups will resort to softer targets because they are seemingly no ...

After thirteen years of occupation by U.S. forces, Afghanistan set a record for growing opium poppies in 2014, according to data from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). Heroin is derived from the poppy. A UNODC report—“Afghanistan Opium Survey 2014”--provides a “detailed picture of the outcome of the current year’s opium season and, together with data from previous years, enable the identification of medium- and long-term trends in the evolution of the illicit drug problem.” “The total area under opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan was estimated to be 224,000 hectares in 2014, a 7% increase from the previous year,” says the ...

MOSCOW, January 5 (Sputnik), Ekaterina Blinova — Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has produced a video, demonstrating how to avoid detection by US Predator drones. The video claims that a homemade body shield "will prevent the Predator's infrared cameras from detecting a human's heat signature. By day, a camouflage version will hide them from the same prying eyes, says the video posted last month to a jihadi Twitter account," Rowan Scarborough, a Washington Times' reporter, wrote in his article "Terrorists adapting to avoid US drones." Mr. Scarborough qualifies the video as a vivid example of how al-Qaeda insurgents are studying American ...

Israel ups the pressure on Syria whose oil and gas in the Levant Basin and Golan Heights are coveted by many companies. According to a U.S. Geological Survey, the Levant Basin contains and estimated 1.7 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 122 trillion cubic feet of gas. Israel has issued Genie Energy a permit to drill for oil within the Golan Heights. Genie Energy had been issued an exclusive permit on Wednesday by Israel’s Energy and Water Resources Ministry to drill for oil. This allows for oil exploration in a 153 square mile in the south of Golan Heights. “Based on its preliminary analysis and interpretation of existing geological data, that the newly issued license area ...

End Wars or They'll End Us by Stephen Lendman Never in human history has it been more urgent to stop wars. US-dominated NATO's rage to wage them. Ongoing in multiple theaters. Direct and proxy conflicts. Others awaiting to be launched. Risking nuclear war with Russia. Humanity's survival is up for grabs. Stopping this madness matters more than ever. Ridding America of imperial war hawks risking mass annihilation. Numerous anti-war groups exist worldwide. Including ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism). Also called International ANSWER. A US-based umbrella group. Including many anti-war/civil rights organizations. Founded three days post-9/11. Initiated nationwide ...

Obama: How Many Kids Did You Kill Today? by Stephen Lendman In the 1960s, Lyndon Johnson was heckled this way. Anti-war activists targeted his Southeast Asian war they wanted ended. Obama way outdid his predecessors. With two years left to go. Bombing 7 countries in 6 years. More on this below. Plus subversion in unknown numbers of others. From its empire of bases. Its global embassies infested with CIA agents. FBI ones operating abroad. Diplomats serving its imperial interests. Drone bombers able to hit targets anywhere. Kill on demand. Perhaps Obama has new targets in mind. Angering China. Recklessly challenging Russia. Risking the unthinkable. Governing more repressively than any ...

Iraq is aflame, the Islamic State is on the rampage, the situation in Afghanistan worsens by the day, and thousands of Americans—and many more Iraqis and Afghans—have ...

Treaty provisions currently apply to America, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Excluding Pentagon naval nuclear missiles. As well as arsenals of nuclear armed Britain, China, France, India, Israel, North Korea and Pakistan. Washington and Moscow accuse each ...

Most Ukrainian Soldiers Don't Want to Fight by Stephen Lendman Ukraine is America's newest colony. A dagger targeting Russia's heartland. Run by fascist putschists. With no legitimacy whatever. Waging war on their own people. Risking greater central European conflict. Perhaps direct confrontation with Russia. Supported by US-dominated NATO. Dirty war against Donbas continues. Despite illegitimate oligarch president Petro Poroshenko's "regime of silence." A US stooge. Installed to serve Western interests. At the expense of his own people. Impoverished before Washington's coup. More deeply under IMF diktats. Economic crisis conditions. Ukraine's ...

Escalated US Wars Ahead? by Stephen Lendman Obama is out-of-control. Deranged. Obsessed with war. His appetite for mass slaughter and destruction insatiable. Monday's ceremonial nominal end to over 13 years of war in Afghanistan belies longstanding US plans. Including permanent occupation. Thousands of US combat troops remaining. Drone wars continuing. Afghanistan a de facto US colony. Obama lied saying "our combat mission in Afghanistan is ending, and the longest war in American history is coming to a responsible end." Fact: America planned naked aggression on Afghanistan long before 9/11. Fact: Despite its government posing no threat to America. Fact: Or its ...

America bears full responsibility for horrific global conflicts. Rogue EU collaborators and Israel share it. Partners in high crimes against humanity. Under or unreported. Largely out of sight and mind. Ongoing without end. In multiple war theaters. Washington's dirty hands manipulating things. Permanent ...
ISIL kills up to 200 of own disillusioned members: Group

PressTV... A UK-based Syrian opposition group says the Takfiri ISIL has executed up to 200 of its own members who had been disillusioned and wanted to leave the terrorist group. The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the majority of the victims were foreign militants who were killed for trying to flee the ISIL-held territories and return to their home countries. The group has confirmed the execution of 120 militants. However, it said that, based on sources on the ground, the true figure could be higher and could reach nearly 200. It said it could not confirm the ages or nationalities of the executed militants, but it is known that some of them were Europeans. The United ...

Putin's Approval Rating v. Obama's by Stephen Lendman Putin is the world's leading geopolitical leader. Obama is a world-class thug. It shows in their approval ratings. Despite Russia's economic woes, Putin's remains extraordinarily high. A recent Levada Center poll has him at 85%. Most Russians want no one else leading them. For good reason. They admire his geopolitical leadership. The Times named UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader Nigel Farage its "Britain of the year." For his "game-changing politics." He called Putin the world leader he most admires. He's not alone. None match his resolve to end conflicts peacefully. Polar opposite ...

And everyone wants to end the logic of confrontation, the wall to wall." Western countries must "begin direct discussions with Moscow over our mutual relations and the role Russia can play in other crises." “Russia has an important role not only in Ukraine, but also in Syria, Iran, the Middle East, (and) Libya." In mid-December, Mogherini announced ...
