The death of American jihadist Douglas McAuthur McCain in Syria raised few eyebrows. It is no secret that there are about 7,000 foreigners fighting alongside the terrorists known as the Islamic State of Islam (ISIS) in Syria and Iraq, of which perhaps 150 to 300 are American. McCain was a Christian who converted to Islam and many times posted his religious beliefs on social media, which may have connected him to ISIS terrorists overseas. Some fear that terrorist groups are recruiting and working within the United States. Growing evidence seems to point to that conclusion, enough for the federal government to be investigating more than a few cases. One hits close to home. Moner Mohammad ...

Ramped up rhetoric on security makes no sense so long as the west cosies up to dictatorships that support fundamentalism Prime Minister David Cameron at a news conference in Downing Street. 'As the British government ramps up the terror alert to 'severe' and yet more anti- terror legislation is proposed, some reflection after 13 years of disaster are surely needed.' Photograph: Paul Hackett/PA The so-called war on terror is nearly 13 years old, but which rational human being will be cheering its success? We’ve had crackdowns on civil liberties across the world, tabloid-fanned generalisations about Muslims and, of course, military interventions whose consequences ...

Mocking Putin's Good Faith Ukraine Peace Plan by Stephen Lendman On Wednesday, Putin offered a seven-point plan to end Southeastern Ukraine's conflict. A previous article discussed it. It's genuine. It's sincere. It's fair-minded. It favors neither side. It's a way to restore regional peace. It's an important proposal to keep conflict from spreading. It doesn't matter. Obama wants war, not peace. So do rogue NATO partners. Kiev's puppet regime is a convenient proxy. MSM scoundrels ridiculed what demands support. More on this below. Obama commented before Putin explained his plan, saying: "There is an opportunity here. But no realistic ...

Putin's Ukraine Peace Plan by Stephen Lendman Ukraine is America's newest colony. Behind the scenes, Washington runs things. It's putschist-installed regime is a convenient proxy. Southeastern Ukraine is Obama's war. Ending it is as simple as him calling off his dogs. He wants war, not peace. He wants another puppet regime Washington controls. He wants Ukraine incorporated into NATO. It shares a nearly 1.500 land and sea border with Russia. As a NATO member, it's a dagger threatening Russia's security. It risks East/West confrontation. It's madness if it erupts. Putin is geopolitically polar opposite Obama. He's not revanchist. He has no territorial ...

Hard Truths v. MSM Big Lies by Stephen Lendman In his book "Inventing Reality: The Politics of the Mass Media," Michael Parenti said former FCC commissioner Nicholas Johnson "once urged people to 'talk back' to their television sets." "We can talk back to all the media a lot better and demand a lot more only when we know how we are being manipulated and why we are being lied to," said Parenti. Managed news misinformation and Big Lies proliferate daily. They substitute for hard truths on issues mattering most. Today's MSM is a lying machine. Washington's war on humanity is called humanitarian intervention. Israeli aggression is considered ...
War Propaganda Works: Large Majority Of Americans Now Want Military Action In Syria, Iraq

In a complete 180 degree turnaround, a sizeable majority of Americans now want the government to engage in military action in Syria and Iraq, following the brutal beheading of an American journalist, and other stories of atrocities committed by ISIS terrorists. A YouGov poll released this week, found that four times as many Americans now support US led military action than oppose it. The survey notes that 63 percent of Americans back airstrikes in Syria, while 16 percent do not. Just one year ago, as the Obama administration campaigned for military action in Syria against President Bashar Assad’s troops, the numbers were almost exactly reversed, as 60 percent opposed military action ...

Kiev Fascists Murder Russian Journalist by Stephen Lendman Russian photojournalist Andrew Stenin was found dead in Southeastern Ukraine. He was murdered in cold blood. More on what happened below. Obama's new friends are cold-blooded killers. They're waging war on freedom. They're killing civilians. They want all opposition elements crushed. They want fascist rule institutionalized. They want democracy in name only. They want it prevented at all costs. They want all independent news sources suppressed. They want their message alone getting out. They harass, beat, terrorize, abduct and murder independent journalists. Russian ones are most vulnerable. On August 5, Russian ...

Castro Compares NATO to Nazis by Stephen Lendman In a Monday Cuba state media article, Castro accused Washington and EU allies of warmongering. He compared NATO to Hitler's SS. More on what he said below. At age 88, Castro is outspoken on geopolitical issues mattering most. His intellect remains keen. His honesty and integrity are impeccable. His forthrightness is noteworthy. His knowledge of vital issues is impressive. He survived hundreds of US attempts to kill him, a punishing embargo and countless other hostile acts. In 2006, illness forced him to step down. Reports at the time erroneously pronounced him dead or dying. He recovered and remains active. Hopefully he has many ...

KIEV/MARIUPOL Ukraine (Reuters) - Ukraine said one of its naval vessels came under artillery attack from the shore on Sunday, in what pro-Russian rebels claimed as the first sea victory of their separatist war. "A Ukrainian border patrol cutter in the Azov Sea was attacked from the shore today. Artillery was used. A rescue operation is under way," Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko told Reuters. A Ukrainian military officer who asked not to be named said: "It appears that a ship has been damaged, I do not know who exactly fired on it and with what." No further details were available on the vessel and the number of crew on board. "The militia have ...

Russia's Foreign Ministry on Ukraine by Stephen Lendman Russia's efforts to end Ukrainian crisis conditions are heroic. Washington obstructionism prevents it. Complicit EU states share blame. So does Kiev's illegitimate putschist government. Daily Western propaganda rages out-of-control. It represents upside reality. Truth is repeatedly suppressed. Big Lies substitute. Russian Federation Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov is a world class diplomat. He deplores war. He champions peace. He tirelessly pursues it. His heroic efforts to end Syrian and Ukrainian conflicts stand out. He's done it despite ruthless US-led Western opposition. He deserves Nobel Peace ...

Hard Truths on Ukraine MSM Suppress by Stephen Lendman On September 4 and 5, Britain will host a summit meeting of NATO heads of state. NATO Secretary- General Anders Fogh Rasmussen will chair the proceedings. At issue is justifying the unjustifiable. It's doing so based on Big Lies. It's wrongfully accusing Russia of "illegal actions in Ukraine." It's suppressing polar opposite truths. It's supporting Washington's imperial agenda. It's presenting a unified anti-Russian front. t's deploying thousands of combat-ready forces closer to Russia's border. It's "sustain(ing) a robust (Eastern European) presence…" It's risking ...

RT... The head of the CSTO says its peacekeepers are ready for any operations, including in Ukraine, but their deployment requires the go-ahead from leaders of all member-countries. "Deployment of the CSTO peacekeeping force can be ordered only by the Collective Security Council – the supreme body formed with heads of state of the member countries. By a joint decision these leaders can order the use of peacekeepers both on the territory of the member-states and also outside their borders,” General-Secretary of the Collective Security Treaty Organization Nikolay Bordyuzha, stated on Friday. “The CSTO peacekeeping force was formed several years ago and its units have ...

Selling Nato's Killing Machine by Stephen Lendman On August 17, the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post featured op-eds selling NATO at a time when its existence more than ever threatens humanity's survival. More on them below. Claiming NATO is a "political and military alliance for peace and security" is farcical on its face. Its mission is polar opposite. US-led NATO is an imperial tool. It's a global killing machine. It prioritizes war. It deplores peace. Humanity's survival hangs in the balance. NATO includes 28 member nations, 22 Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC) ones, seven Mediterranean Dialogue countries, and four Istanbul Cooperation ...

Ravaging and Destroying Syria by Stephen Lendman Advancing America's imperium matters most. Core international, constitutional and US statute laws aren't important. Nor high crimes against peace. On geopolitical issues mattering most, MSM editors, correspondents, columnists and contributors support what demands condemnation. Syria is Obama's war. He launched it. He continues it. He’s guilty of horrendous high crimes against peace. He bears full responsibility for what UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres calls "the biggest humanitarian emergency of our era." Nearly half of all Syrians are affected. No end of conflict looms. Takfiri extremists ...

Irresponsibly Challenging Russia by Stephen Lendman Cold War 2.0 rages. It's heading dangerously toward East/West confrontation. Putin and Obama are geopolitical opposites. They represent conflicting values. Putin supports multi-world polarity. He believes national sovereignty is inviolable. He opposes imperial lawlessness. He believes no nation has the right to interfere in the internal affairs of others. Obama claims a divine right to wage war on humanity. To invent enemies when none exist. To ravage one country after another. To control their resources. To exploit their people. To achieve unchallenged global dominance. To risk humanity's survival in the process. ...

RT... Hundreds of people have gathered in front of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry in Kiev, demanding resignation of President Petro Poroshenko and the defense minister over the poor handling of the military operation in the southeast.

Pravda... Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the "militia of Novorossiya." The text of his address appeared on the Kremlin website on Friday night, August 29. One could expect that the Russian leader would comment on the statement from Ukrainian President Poroshenko, who said that the Russian Federation allegedly invaded Ukraine. However, Putin did not say a word about it. Putin devoted his address to the fate of Ukrainian soldiers, who were surrounded by Novorossiya militia forces. It is quite possible that Putin will speak about the most recent events in Ukraine, today, on August 29, at Seliger Forum. Noteworthy, Putin rarely makes such addresses, especially at night. ...

Targeting Syria by Stephen Lendman On Tuesday, Obama addressed the American Legion's annual convention in Charlotte, NC. More on his speech below. The next day, the so-called UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria (COI) issued its latest anti-Assad report. Its mandate is investigating human rights abuses. It's a pro-Western imperial tool. Paulo Pinheiro heads it. His reports bear testimony to his bias. He largely blames Assad for Western-sponsored crimes. Last summer, Syria's permanent UN envoy Bashar al-Jaafari addressed the General Assembly, saying: "The Commission of Inquiry on Syria is still deliberately blowing things out of proportion when ...
