Obama Declares War on Syria by Stephen Lendman The Islamic State is the pretext. Syria is the target. At issue is regime change. It's replacing its sovereign independence with pro-Western stooge governance. It's wanting unchallenged regional control. It's wanting Big Oil exploiting its resources. It's wanting Iran isolated. It's aiding Israel's Greater Middle East agenda. It's making the world safe for war profiteers. It's about colonizing nations. It's advancing America's imperium. It's about carving up whole continents belligerently. It's doing so for dominance and profits. It's about justifying might over right. It's about ...

ABC News With the Obama White House left reeling from the "savage" slaughter of an American journalist held hostage by ISIS terrorists, military options are being considered against an adversary who officials say is growing in strength and is much more capable than the one faced when the group was called "al Qaeda-Iraq" during the U.S. war from 2003-2011. ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, has been making a "tactical withdrawal" in recent days in the face of withering U.S. airstrikes from areas around Erbil in northern Iraq and from the major dam just north of Mosul it controlled for two nail-biting weeks, according to military officials monitoring ...
Russia and America; Geopolitical Opposites

Russia and America: Geopolitical Opposites by Stephen Lendman Russia supports peace and stability. It wants conflicts resolved diplomatically. America is polar opposite. It wages one war after another. Countries are ravaged and destroyed. Russian humanitarian intervention is real. More on this below. America's is pretext to bomb, invade, mass murder, destroy, and plunder. Permanent war is official US policy. One country after another is targeted. All independent ones are vulnerable. Washington wants pro-Western subservient ones replacing them. Syria is in the eye of the storm. So are Iraq again and Ukraine. Iran's turn is next. China and Russia represent the final frontier. ...
Rebels parade captured Ukrainian soldiers in east

DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — To shouts of "Fascists!" and "Hang them from a tree!" captured Ukrainian soldiers were paraded through the streets of the rebel stronghold of Donetsk on Sunday as bystanders pelted them with eggs, water bottles and tomatoes. The spectacle of the bruised and filthy soldiers being marched hands bound and surrounded by gun-toting pro-Russian insurgents came as Ukrainians in Kiev celebrated their country's independence from the Soviet Union — a stark display of the growing divisions between east and west. While support and mobilization for Kiev's campaign against the separatists has grown in many parts of the country, resentments ...

Ukraine's Independence Day by Stephen Lendman August 24 marks Ukraine's 23rd Independence Day since first commemorated on July 16, 1991. An August 24, 1991 parliamentary Ukraine Declaration of Independence Act created an independent state. On August 26, 1991, monuments of communist heroes were removed from public places. October Revolution Square was renamed Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square). Since 1992, Independence Day is celebrated on August 24. Obama's new friends orchestrated events this year. They're putschist, racist, xenophobic, ultranationalist, anti-Semitic, neo-Nazi-infested fascists. They control things. They include a rogue's gallery of ...

Alexandria, Virginia’s annual big event is its George Washington’s Birthday parade. When I lived there, I usually went. One year, as President Washington passed in his carriage, I gave him a proper 18th-century bow-and-scrape—real conservatives know how to do these things. He was so pleased he stood up in his landau, doffed his hat and bowed to me in return. It may have been the same year this genial event got skunked. Among the marching units, all festive and gay—old meaning—came the Alexandria Police SWAT team. Accompanied by an armored vehicle, they wore military fatigues, body armor, and helmets. You could watch people physically recoil as they passed. The ...

CHICAGO (CBS) — Over the past six years, Chicago has become a top potential target for international terrorists, a top security expert said Friday, making the posting of a veiled threat by Islamic radicals on Twitter a higher cause for concern. “Many terror organizations refer to Chicago as Obama Town,” said CBS 2 security expert Ross Rice, a former FBI agent in Chicago. Under President Obama, the U.S. took out Osama bin Laden, and used repeated drone strikes to weaken terror networks. In the meantime, the U.S. government on Friday issued a security bulletin to all U.S. law enforcement in light of the overall threat posed by Islamic State, commonly known as ISIS or ISIL. ...
Obama Heading for War on Syria?

Obama Heading for War on Syria? by Stephen Lendman In early 2011, Obama initiated proxy war on Syria. It remains ongoing. Insurgent extremists are recruited, funded, trained, armed and imported from dozens of countries. Key NATO partners, rogue Arab states and Israel are involved. The same dirty game repeats with disturbing regularity. Washington targets all independent states. It wants pro-Western stooge regimes replacing them. It wants unchallenged global control. Direct and proxy wars of aggression are waged for it. Syria remains in the eye of the storm. Ongoing conflict isn't civil. Not when mostly imported proxies are used. Most Syrians deplore violence. They oppose ...

About that alleged beheading

The alleged beheading of freelance journalist James Foley by the shadowy ISIS (or Islamic State) has sparked outrage and horror around the globe. I say “alleged” because we are not sure if the decapitation was real or faked. After three decades of covering wars in the Mideast, Africa, Latin America, and Afghanistan, my reaction as a journalist was also outrage – but cautious outrage. We westerners have a charming and quaint belief that killing people from the air by using bombs, rockets, shells, napalm and cluster munitions – or even nuclear weapons – is somehow not really as bad as ramming a bayonet into an enemy, blowing him to pieces with heavy artillery, or ...

U.S. Wants to Bomb ISIS In Syria … Maybe We Should (cough) First Stop ARMING THEM? Posted on August 22, 2014 by WashingtonsBlog If We Stop Arming, Funding and Training Terrorists, then Maybe We Won’t Have to Bomb Them Later U.S. foreign policy is schizophrenic. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says we need to attack the Sunni militants in Syria. The deputy national security adviser to President Obama says we should go after ISIS in Syria. Okay … But the U.S. and our closest allies have long supported Sunni militants. And the U.S. and our closest allies have been arming and training Islamic jihadists in Syria for years. And see this, this, this and this. You ...
Russian Humanitarian Aid Reaches Ukraine

Russian Humanitarian Aid Reaches Lugansk by Stephen Lendman Kiev putschists blocked vitally needed humanitarian aid for days. They did so for spurious reasons. They did it to impose greater hardships on desperate Southeastern Ukrainians. They did it to deprive them of essentials to life. They did it to facilitate their genocidal aggression. They did it with full support and encouragement from Washington. Enough is enough. On August 22, Itar Tass headlined "Russia's 70 trucks with humanitarian cargo proceed toward toward Ukraine's Luhansk," saying: They cleared customs. They entered Ukrainian territory. They headed for Lugansk. They did so on a mission of mercy. They ...

World Humanitarian Day Hypocrisy by Stephen Lendman The day honors humanitarian workers killed in the line of duty. The General Assembly designated August 19 as part of a Swedish-sponsored resolution on the Strengthening of the Coordination of Emergency Assistance of the UN. It commemorates the day in 2003 when US terror-bombing killed then Special Representative of the Secretary-General to Iraq, Sergio Vieira, and 21 of his colleagues. They perished in Baghdad's UN headquarters. More on World Humanitarian Day (WHD) below. On August 19, the White House issued a hypocritical “Statement by the Principal Deputy Press Secretary on World Humanitarian Day," saying: ...

I wish Russia would do as the Kiev Nazis and their western masters claim, and actually cross the border to rescue the people of Donbass. As the west condemns Assad in Syria, for using helicopters, tanks, artillery and fighter bombers to kill civilians, US and EU fully back the self proclaimed government in Kiev as they do these things in Lugansk and Donetsk.I have not seen any militia dead. All I see are the civilians who are being murdered by the faithful military that blindly follow orders from Kiev. And when the Ukraine military find themselves actually confronted by freedom fighters, they run away and cross the border to hide in Russia! Russia should not allow them to return to Ukraine ...

KIev's Dirty War by Stephen Lendman Rogue terror states wage wars the same way. America does it. So does Israel. Kiev's illegitimate fascist government operates extrajudicially. Rule of law principles don't apply. Dirty war is waged on its own non-combatant men, women and children. Residential neighborhoods are bombed and shelled. Banned chemical and other terror weapons are used. Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) member of parliament Miroslav Rudenko said: "According to our soldiers' information, the Ukrainian forces are using chemical ammunition on DPR territory." "Once a shell bursts, a gas affecting sense organs is emitted. We have this ...

Gaza Ceasefire Extended by Stephen Lendman Monday's ceasefire deadline was extended another 24 hours. It was set to expire at midnight local time. Talks continue for a permanent ceasefire. Long denied justice for beleaguered Palestinians remains elusive. It's hard knowing how another day, week or month will achieve what never before was possible. Israel is a lawless, racist, apartheid rogue terror state. It's all take and no give. It wants its interests alone served. It wants fundamental Palestinian rights denied. It wants Gazans isolated under siege. It wants brutalizing occupation continued. It wants Palestinian self-determination avoided at all costs. It wants the ...

Russia: Waging Peace in Ukraine by Stephen Lendman Throughout months of conflict in Southeastern Ukraine, Russia has gone all-out to resolve things diplomatically. Yet Putin bashing never quits. He's viciously demonized. Truth is buried. Facts are conveniently twisted. He's wrongfully accused of supplying weapons and fighters to aid Southeastern Ukrainian anti- government forces' liberating struggle. His spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, categorically denies Russia's involvement. "We have said repeatedly that no equipment is being supplied there," he said. No Russian troops are involved. Moscow wants conflict ended. It wants diplomatic efforts to do it. On Sunday, ...

Promoting Confrontation with Russia by Stephen Lendman Washington's rage for war may end up targeting Russia next. Major media propaganda and disinformation seem inexorably heading in this direction. Madness explains what's happening. Truth is systematically buried. It's turned on its head. Big Lies, distortions and deception substitute. Western readers and viewers get a daily diet of outrageous managed news misinformation. America's so-called MSM are worst of all. From The New York Times to Fox News, a systematic drumbeat of anti-Russian propaganda drowns out real news, information and analysis. Winston Churchill once said "(a) lie gets halfway around the world ...

Kiev's War Without Mercy Continues by Stephen Lendman Kiev fascists are murdering their own Southeastern citizens in cold blood. They're doing it with full support and complicity from Washington. Russia's RIA Novosti news service quoted Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on Defense, Franz Klintsevich, saying: Use of ballistic missiles against Lugansk civilians "suggests that the Ukrainian security forces have been granted carte blance from the Americans." "They do not care what Russia says, what the international community or even Europe says today." "They got their carte blanche, and while it remains active they want to deal with the situation ...

The New York Times War on Truth by Stephen Lendman The NYT is America's leading establishment publication. It represents wealth, power and privilege. It largely scorns populist interests. It functions as a quasi-official ministry of propaganda. It offers a daily diet of managed news misinformation. Its front page has global reach. It's the most valued media space anywhere. Times editors use it irresponsibly. It bears repeating what previous articles stressed. All the news they claim fit to print isn't fit to read. A January 2013 open letter to NYT editors was this writer's most widely ever read article by far. It touched the right nerve at the right time. It accused ...

MSM War on Gaza by Stephen Lendman Journalists daring to criticize Israel responsibility face likely dismissal and banishment from MSM employment. Once again, Israel waged cold, calculated premeditated aggression against near defenseless Palestinians. An Israeli Goliath mercilessly attacked a Palestinian David. It did so for unjustifiable reasons. Mass slaughter, destruction and human misery followed. Non-combatant men, women and children suffered most. They were deliberately targeted. They comprised over 80% of deaths and injuries. Israeli casualties hardly compare to around 2,000 mostly civilian Palestinian deaths, up to 10,000 injured, large parts of Gaza in ruins, hundreds ...

Terrorizing Southeastern Ukrainians: Heading Toward East/West Confrontation by Stephen Lendman What Israel's killing machine did to Gazan civilians, Kiev putschists keep inflicting on defenseless Lugansk and Donetsk residents. It's war without mercy. It's US supported. Obama's Ukrainian allies are lawless neo-Nazi fascists. They openly display swastikas, Iron Crosses, SS insignia, other Nazi symbols and Sieg Heil salutes. Washington elevated them to power. It did so by ousting a democratically elected government. Rule by intimidation is policy. So is waging war on its own citizens. It's terror bombing and shelling them. It's murdering them in cold blood. On ...
