Cold War 2.0 by Stephen Lendman A previous article said welcome to Cold War 2.0. The first one never ended. Since Soviet Russia's 1991 dissolution, Western policy remained hard-wired in place. Putin and Obama are geopolitical opposites. They're world's apart. Their ideologies clash. They represent conflicting values. Putin defends Russian sovereignty. He opposes US imperial lawlessness. He affirms UN Charter and other rule of law principles. Obama claims a divine right to pursue unchallenged global hegemony. Washington considers Putin public enemy number one. At risk is potential East/West confrontation. Russia bashing persists. It's intense. It rages daily. It exceeds ...
Get Ready "BLM Eyes 90,000 Acres of Texas Land"

After the recent Bundy Ranch episode by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Texans are becoming more concerned about the BLM’s focus on 90,000 acres along a 116 mile stretch of the Texas/Oklahoma boundary. The BLM is reviewing the possible federal takeover and ownership of privately-held lands which have been deeded property for generations of Texas landowners. Sid Miller, former Texas State Representative and Republican candidate for Texas Agriculture Commissioner, has since made the matter a campaign issue to Breitbart Texas. “In Texas,” Miller says, “the BLM is attempting a repeat of an action taken over 30 years ago along the Red River when Tommy Henderson ...

Canada Targets Russia by Stephen Lendman Right-wing Prime Minister Stephen Harper marches in lockstep with Washington. He's Obama's unctuous little sidekick. He dances to his tune. He partners in his dark side. No pun intended. Canadian travel restrictions were imposed on senior Russian officials. Crimean ones were targeted. Economic sanctions followed. Last month, Harper announced them, saying: "It's my strong belief we must keep the pressure on and we must continue to maintain sanctions and maintain putting in place strong steps to dissuade this behaviour." "What the Putin regime has done cannot be tolerated and can never be accepted. The individuals ...

The Ukraine Deception: US/EU-Directed Coup D’état Exposes Itselfby Michael ThomasMarch 4th, 2014 Updated 03/05/2014 at 8:29 pm There’a an old adage that goes something like this: “The more guilty one is in the perpetration of a dastardly crime,the more likely they are to accuse innocent parties of the very same atrocity.” There is no better example of this on the various geo-political battlefields dotting Planet Earth than the recent color revolution in the Ukraine. A violent revolution which was directly overseen and coordinated by the US-EU espionage agencies. Their highly calculated and preplanned coup d’état orchestrated in Kiev is as ...

Russia Bashing Continues

Russia Bashing Continues by Stephen Lendman Washington bears full responsibility for Ukrainian crisis conditions. Russia alone has gone all-out to resolve them responsibly. Putin and Sergei Lavrov deserve Nobel Peace Prize recognition. War criminals alone get it. Obama is Exhibit A. US bullying, bluster, and threats continue. Brazen lies repeat. Sanctions were imposed. Obama threatened more saying: "My hope is we do actually see follow-through over the next several days, but I don't think, given past performance, that we can count on that, and we have to be prepared to potentially respond to what continues to be efforts of interference by the Russians in eastern and southern ...

Ukrainian Offensive Falters by Stephen Lendman Western media headlined it. The New York Times said "Ukraine Push Against Rebels Grinds to a Halt." Things "unraveled in disarray." An "entire contingent of 21 armored vehicles…surrendered or pull(ed) back…It was a glaring humiliation for the new government in Kiev. (Events) underscored (its) weakness." The Wall Street Journal said "Ukraine's Efforts to Regain Control of East Sputter." Locals "halted army columns." "The faltering 'antiterrorist' operation, launched a day earlier, leaves the government looking increasingly powerless in the face of separatists who ...

Putin Speaks by Stephen Lendman On April 17, Putin held his annual televised Q & A session. He did it with ordinary Russians nationwide. He did it for the 12th time. Doing so connects with them. He responded to questions forthrightly. Most concerned Ukraine and Crimea. He covered lots of ground. Trust lost is hard to regain, he said. It's been "undermined to a great degree, but why is this happening? "We believe in this situation we are not at fault." Restoring trust requires Washington abandoning its "double standards." "We are not trying to undermine the relations between Russia and Europe, and I hope that this is not a part of our European ...

More NATO Forces for Eastern Europe by Stephen Lendman US-led NATO threatens world peace. It's a global killing machine. It prioritizes militarism and war. It threatens humanity in the process. It's escalating East/West tensions. It supports Kiev fascist putschists. It buries truth. It spreads lies about Russia. On April 16, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said: "We have just taken further measures to respond to the crisis in Ukraine." "We call on Russia to be part of the solution. To stop destabilising Ukraine, pull back its troops from the borders and make clear it doesn't support the violent actions of well armed militias of pro-Russian ...

Ukraine on the Brink by Stephen Lendman Obama declared war on Ukraine. He dispatched CIA chief John Brennan to Kiev. He arrived with administration instructions. Obama's proxy putschist stooges were unleashed to wage war on Eastern Ukrainian freedom fighters. The battle for Ukraine's soul escalated. The country is "on the verge of civil war," said Putin. Prime Minister Medvedev said the same thing. Putschists launched violence. "The illegal rulers are trying to restore the order they cynically trampled on when they participated in an armed uprising," Medvedev added. Their military forces headed east. Tanks, armored vehicles and artillery are on the ...

Obama Heads for War in Ukraine by Stephen Lendman Permanent war is official US policy. At issue is unchallenged global dominance. All independent governments are targeted. Eliminating them is prioritized. So is replacing them with pro-Western puppet states. Ukraine is Exhibit A. Obama bears full responsibility for ousting its democratically elected government. Elevating illegitimate fascist putschists to power followed. Sham May elections will be farcical when held. Here's an example showing why. Oleg Tsarev is a presidential aspirant. He's a former Yanukovych-led Party of Regions people's deputy. On April 7, he was lawlessly expelled. During months of US-manipulated ...

PressTV... The “watershed event” in the upcoming final world conflict, likely to depopulate Earth, was never reported outside the United States. Two weeks ago, the Supreme Court of the United States, by far the most violent and extremist of the three governmental sectors, executive, legislative and “judicial,” officially ended all financial oversight of American elections. All semblances of democratic institution and constitutionalism ended in the United States. America became a de facto dictatorship without firing a shot. That will come later. It was called the “McCutchen v. FEC decision. It guarantees control of both houses of Congress by an ...

Localse Russia has intensified its espionage efforts in Sweden to include war preparations, Swedish security service Säpo warned on Monday. "The most serious threat we see right now is war preparations," Säpo chief counter-intelligence analyst Wilhelm Unge said at a press conference on Monday. While stressing that such preparations did not necessarily mean anything dramatic, he said: "It's no secret that Russia is engaged in this. It's a little bit worrying." Unge said Russia's intensified interest in Sweden was evidenced by simulated flight attacks on Swedish targets as well as attempts to recruit spies, increased signals intelligence, and the ...

Escalating War on Syria by Stephen Lendman Syria is Obama's war. He didn't launch it to quit. He wants Assad ousted. He's stronger now than when conflict erupted. It began in March 2011. It's in year four. Abbas enjoys overwhelming support. It's no surprise. Syrians deplore foreign invaders. He's their sole source of protection. He consistently routs Western-supported death squads. He controls most parts of Syria. He does so effectively. He's committed to defending his people responsibly. On April 11, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) headlined "Army's intensive campaign against terrorism continues in all Syrian areas." They're ...

Europe Targets Russia Irresponsibly by Stephen Lendman European nations follow Washington's lead. They act disgracefully. They do so reprehensibly. They harm their own self-interest. They partner in America's wars. They embrace confrontation. They harm their own people. Russia bashing is prioritized. On Thursday, the Parliamentary Assembly of Europe (PACE) stripped Russia's voting rights through yearend. It imposed other sanctions. Members voted 145 to 21. Another 22 abstained. Russia's right to vote against its own ostracism was denied. Democracy is a dead letter. Acting responsibly is verboten. Moscow is excluded from leadership positions. It's removed from ...

Israeli Supremes Endorse War Crimes by Stephen Lendman They didn't surprise. They're like US Supremes. They support wealth, power and privilege. They rubber- stamp war crimes when asked. They ignore fundamental rule of law principles. Israel High Court justices declined to hear petitioner Marwan Dalal. He's an Israeli Arab jurist. Earlier he served as a Hague International Criminal Court senior prosecutor. He's the only Palestinian ever to serve in this capacity. On April 2, Israeli Supremes heard evidence of IDF war crimes in Lebanon and Gaza. A previous article explained. Dalal filed a 52-page petition. He addressed Israel's: • preemptive 2006 Lebanon war; ...

Ukrainian McDonald’s Ltd, a subsidary of the world’s largest fast food chain, has temporarily closed its doors in Crimea because of “manufacturing reasons.” “Due to reasons beyond the control of the company, business activities have been suspended in Simferopol, Sevastopol, and Yalta,” said a company statement posted on the Ukrainian website. The company hopes to resume operations at the 3 restaurant locations in Crimea, but has offered to relocate employees to other Ukraine sites; offering to cover their expenses including 3 months of housing. If employees are not able, or choose not to relocate, severance packages will be negotiated. McDonald’s ...

Judicial Watch Played Into The Government’s Hands — Americans Are Blinded By Agendas

Disinformation succeeds because so many people and interest groups across the political spectrum find that it serves their agendas as well as the agenda of the government. Consider for example the explanation of 9/11 that blamed Muslim terrorists for the attack. This served the interests of the neoconservatives, the private armaments companies, the US military, the private security companies, government security agencies such as the CIA, the left-wing, the right-wing, the Israel Lobby, and the print and TV media. The official explanation gave the neoconservatives the “new Pearl Harbor” that they needed for their program of invasions of Middle Eastern countries. The private ...

Mideast Peace Negotiators Meet by Stephen Lendman A previous article said talks through last Thursday floundered. They're close to collapse. Breathing life into failure won't work. It hasn't for decades. It won't now. Multiple rounds of futility defined past efforts. Israel alone benefitted. Palestinians got nothing. Same old, same old persists this time. Einstein once called insanity "doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results." Months of futility produced nothing. Nor will months more. Palestinians have no say. They never did before. They don't now. US and Israeli negotiators never fail to miss an opportunity to miss an ...
Another Fake Afghan Election

Afghanistan’s national election held this week is a sham. A group of candidates, handpicked by the US, will pretend to compete in an election whose outcome has already been determined – by Washington. The candidates include US groomed politicians, and drug-dealing warlords from the Tajik and Uzbek north. Chief among them, Rashid Dostam, a major war criminal and principal CIA ally who ordered the massacre of over 2,000 Taliban prisoners. Such is the rotten foundation on which Washington is hoping to build a compliant Afghan “democracy” that will continue to offer bases to US troops and warplanes. Afghanistan’s majority, the Pashtun tribes, have little voice in ...

Reckless Russia Bashing Persists by Stephen Lendman It's relentless. It persists daily. Big Lies drown out truth. Containing Russia is longstanding policy. Doing so reflects US hegemonic ambitions. Eliminating a major rival is prioritized. Marginalizing, weakening, isolating, and co-opting it is planned. Escalated tensions risk belligerent East/West confrontation. Whenever Washington wages war or plans one, media scoundrels march in lockstep. They regurgitate official propaganda ad nauseam. Doing so substitutes lies for truth. New York Times editors, contributors and correspondents are some of the worst. Russia bashing persists daily. It's in front page feature stories. ...

Reviewing James Petras' The Politics of Empire: The US, Israel and the Middle East (Part II) Presidential Rule by Deception: Obama, the Master Con-Man Petras pulled no punches saying "(i)n an electoral system, run by and for a corporate oligarchy, deception and demagoguery are essential elements - entertaining the people while working for the wealthy." Every US president does it. All congressional leaders. It's "de rigueur" to pretend to be "everyman." It persists while committing "war crimes worthy of prosecution." It's play-acting. It's duplicity. Obama is the "master of deceit." He lacks an honest bone in his body. He ...

Another False Flag Chemical Weapons Attack Planned by Stephen Lendman Jobar is a Damascus area suburb. On April 1, Syria's permanent UN envoy Bashir al-Jaafari said terrorists plan attacking it with chemical weapons. He knew days earlier. He sent two identical letters to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Security Council President Joy Ogwu. He said Syrian authorities monitored a landline call between two Jobar area terrorists. They discussed distributing gas masks to their elements to protect against a planned toxic gas attack. A second intercepted call discussed launching it. Blaming Assad for their crime is planned. At issue is Ghouta 2.0. On August 21, 2013, Assad was ...
