Blocking Russian Humanitarian Aid

Blocking Russian Humanitarian Aid by Stephen Lendman Russia is going all-out to deliver vitally needed humanitarian aid to beleaguered Southeastern Ukrainians. In collusion with Washington, Kiev so far blocked it. Reasons given ring hollow. Obama officials and their illegitimate fascist allies want war without mercy continued. They want pain and suffering increased. They want freedom fighting democrats crushed. They want state terror intensified. They want desperate Ukrainian civilians denied food, clean water, medicines, medical supplies, and power generators, as well as other vitally needed items to survive Kiev's lawless aggression. Putschist prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk ...

Sham Cairo Talks Continue by Stephen Lendman The latest 72-hour ceasefire expired at midnight Wednesday local time. Both sides agreed to extend it another five days. They did so despite seemingly irreconcilable differences. Hamas, other resistance groups, millions of occupied and diaspora Palestinians, as well as growing world public opinion want Gaza's siege unconditionally lifted. Palestinians want unrestricted movement of people and goods, a seaport to facilitate imports and exports, fishing zones extended, and control over their borders, coastline, air space and resources. They want long denied fundamental rights. Israel remains hardline. It refuses to offer nothing but token ...

Obama's War on Iraq

Obama's War on Iraq by Stephen Lendman For the third time since January 1991, America is at war with Iraq. It's ongoing lawlessly. No nation may attack another except in self-defense. None may do so without Security Council authorization. None exists. Obama is a war criminal multiple times over. Bombing Iraq adds another crime to his rap sheet. Reasons given don't wash. US involvement has nothing to do with humanitarian intervention or responsibility to protect. It has everything to do with protecting the interests of ExxonMobil and Chevron operations. It's about Washington wanting unchallenged regional control. It's about making the world safe for war profiteers. ...
US Marines ‘Highly Likely’ on the Ground in Iraq - Former US Diplomat

NEW YORK, August 12 (RIA Novosti) – It is “highly likely” that US Special Forces are already operating on Iraqi soil, despite claims by US officials, former US diplomat Peter Van Buren told RIA Novosti on Tuesday. “It is highly likely that US Special Forces are already active on the ground in Iraq, conducting reconnaissance missions and laser-designating targets for circling US aircraft,” said Van Buren, a former US official, who spent a year in Iraq during his 24-year State Department career. “If US planes are overhead, US search-and-rescue assets are close by, perhaps in desert forward operating positions. This is how bigger wars begin,” the ex- diplomat ...

Investigating Gaza War Crimes by Stephen Lendman On August 11, Human Rights Council (HRC) President Baudelaire Ndong Ella announced the formation of an "independent, international commission of inquiry" into war crimes committed during Israel's Operation Protective Edge. International human rights law expert Professor William Schabas was appointed to chair a three-person panel. His special focus is genocide. Other members include international law, criminal law, human rights and extradition law expert, Amal Alamuddin, and former UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, Doudou Diene.

Lindsey Graham: Obama Trying to Avoid 'Bad News Story' with Airdrops Sunday, 10 Aug 2014 10:36 AM By Greg Richter President Barack Obama's airdrops of supplies to refugees and limited airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq are only an attempt to avoid bad press and don't go far enough in stamping out the dangerous terrorist group, says Sen. Lindsey Graham. "He's trying to avoid a bad news story on his watch," the South Carolina Republican said on "Fox News Sunday." Obama has said the United States cannot take offensive action until there is an inclusive government in Baghdad, but Graham called that "inaccurate." Graham has been calling for ...
Mass Murder in Gaza and Ukraine

Mass Murder in Gaza and Ukraine by Stephen Lendman Washington bears responsibility for supporting Israel's genocidal war in Gaza and backing Kiev fascist forces against Southeastern Ukrainian freedom fighters. Committing high crimes against peace is official US policy. So is partnering with rogue state allies doing the same thing. Israel is a lawless, racist, apartheid terror state. Its Operation Protective Edge Gaza war is one of history's great crimes. Another 72-hour ceasefire sham changes nothing. It bears repeating what previous articles stressed. Israel is all take and no give. It demands unconditional acceptance of terms favoring its interests. It offers virtually ...
CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS: DID YOU KNOW OUR GOVERNMENT IS SUPPORTING ISLAMIC TERRORISTS?

Christians Are Being Persecuted By Islamic Terrorists. Christians are being persecuted by Islamic terrorists in Iraq and Syria. The “ISIS” Islamic terrorists have literally CRUCIFIED people in Iraq recently, and have marked the houses of Christians (and Shia Mulsims) – presumably for execution. They have told Christians in Mosel, “convert to Islam or die“. They have pulled down crosses at churches in Iraq. Thousands of residents of Iraq’s biggest Christian town have been forced to flee their homes as the ISIS killers overran their town and said: “leave, convert or die“. The ISIS terrorists are not only beheading Christians, but they are ...
Israel Murders Gazan Health Workers

Israel Murders Gazan Health Workers by Stephen Lendman Israel wages genocidal wars without mercy. Even doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers and other health workers are targeted. Civilians are as vulnerable as combatants. It's longstanding Israeli policy. On August 7, Amnesty International (AI) headlined "Mounting Evidence of deliberate attacks on Gaza health workers by Israeli army." Former prime minister Ehud Barak once outrageously called it "the most moral army in the world." It's a lawless, ruthless killing machine. As a former prime minister, defense minister, foreign minister, and chief of general staff, Barak was complicit in some of its worst crimes ...
Waging Genocidal War on Humanity

Waging Genocidal War on Humanity by Stephen Lendman Doing so constitutes longstanding US and Israeli policy. The indisputable record speaks for itself. Besides its genocidal native population genocide, every US post-WW II war was waged lawlessly. So were all Israeli wars throughout its existence except for the 1973 Yom Kippur conflict. Both nations prioritize violence and instability. They deplore peace. It's a non-starter. Civilians are considered legitimate targets. Mass murder, destruction and genocide follow. The disturbing pattern repeats unaccountably. Both countries partner in horrendous crimes against humanity. The world community yawns and does nothing to stop them. ...

The Battle for Ukraine's Soul by Stephen Lendman Many previous articles explained the geopolitical importance of crisis conditions in Ukraine. The book "Flashpoint in Ukraine: How the US Drive for Hegemony Risks World War III" discusses its gravity and much more in detail. Ukraine remains in the eye of the storm. Neocons infest Washington. They influence administration policy. They want total unchallenged world dominance. Russia and China mainly stand in the way. United they pose formidable opposition to Washington's imperial aims. At risk is a potential East/West confrontation. July 28 marked WW I's 100th anniversary. WW II followed the war to end all wars. ...
Washington Opened The Gates Of Hell In Iraq: Now Come The Furies

The late, great critic of the American Imperium, Chalmers Johnson, popularized the salient concept of “blowback”. That is, the notion that if you bomb, drone, invade, desecrate and slaughter—collaterally or otherwise— a people and their lands, they might find ways to return the favor. But even Johnson could not have imagined the kind of blowback coming ferociously Washington’s way now. Namely, the mayhem being visited on much of Iraq by American tanks, armored personnel carriers, heavy artillery, anti-aircraft batteries and other advanced weaponry that has fallen into the hands of the very jihadist radicals that have been the ostensible target of ...

It means so much to me. I thanked everyone and will ahead. Support messages mean so much emotionally and physically. I continue my recovery as an outpatient. It's my top priority. I hope to write and do media work as able. It's what I love best. It was agonizing being silenced during the worst of Israel's genocidal slaughter of non-combatant men, women, children, infants, the elderly and infirm. The mass destruction of their neighborhoods, homes, property, vital infrastructure, loved ones and ...

It's a century since the outbreak of the First World War but British taxpayers are still paying for their country's part in it – and a handful of banks is cashing in on hundreds of millions of pounds. Every year £136m is shelled out in coupon payments to holders of the government debt – War Loans – used to fund the role of troops from the British Empire in WWI. And the owners of 99% of the £1.94bn (€2.4bn, $3.26bn) WWI debt still around are a secret group of financial institutions. The UK government's Debt Management Office (DMO) told IBTimes UK that there are over 120,000 War Loan holdings in existence yielding their 3.5% bi-annual coupon ...

Alarming example of how state works with mainstream media to justify its malfeasance AP Conspires With U.S. Government to "Spoil" Snowden 2.0 Revelations Another alarming example of how the U.S. government works hand in hand with the mainstream media to justify its malfeasance emerged today when the Associated Press published a story about the scope of the terror watchlist in advance as part of a ploy to “spoil the scoop” and water down the impact of the new revelations. A huge new article by the Intercept reveals how under the Obama administration the size of the terror watchlist has expanded ten fold, with nearly half of the names on the list having no link to ...

No matter how well we are supported by neutrality legislation, we must remember that no laws can be provided to cover every contingency, for it is impossible to imagine how every future event may shape itself. In spite of every possible forethought, international relations involve of necessity a vast uncharted area. In that area safe sailing will depend on the knowledge and the experience and the wisdom of those who direct our foreign policy. Peace will depend on their day-to-day decisions. At this late date, with the wisdom which is so easy after the event and so difficult before the event, we find it possible to trace the tragic series of small decisions which led ...

MOSCOW, August 3 (RIA Novosti) – A group of 12 Ukrainian troops has reached the Gukovo checkpoint in Russia’s Rostov Region and requested asylum in Russia, the Rossiya-24 TV channel reported on Sunday. The servicemen, both officers and soldiers from the 72th motorized brigade, went through the neutral zone of the Russian-Ukrainian border carrying a white flag and no weapons on them. “Absolutely, we are not traitors. We are in no war with Russia. There can be some 'misunderstanding,' but there is no war. To save the lives of my subordinates, a decision has been taken to move them out via Russia,” a Ukrainian officer told the TV channel. Earlier reports said ...
We Tortured Some Folks: Obama’s Glib Admission

“We did a whole lot of things that were right, but we tortured some folks.” A shocking statement both for its content and for the casual delivery, President Obama declared this during today’s press conference, in what may well be the most direct admission of torture by the US government that he or any other president is liable to offer. The admission of torture came in the context of the ever-growing scandal surrounding the Senate’s report on CIA torture during the Bush years, and evidence that the CIA has been spying on the Senate Intelligence Committee during the compilation of that report. The CIA has been engaged in a very public campaign to discredit the report, ...

Daily Caller... The deputy commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards vowed revenge against Israel for its ongoing military incursion into Gaza, which has already killed hundreds of Palestinians and dozens of Israelis. “You [people of Israel] are trees without any roots which were planted in the Islamic lands by the British,” Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami said at this week’s Friday prayer sermon in Tehran, Fars News Agency reported. That statement referred to the Balfour Declaration, which led to the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire after World War I and the eventual creation of the state Israel in 1948. we-will-hunt-down-israelis-house-to-house and will take revenge for ...
