Washington Escalates War on Syria by Stephen Lendman Ousting Assad was planned years ago. At issue is replacing him with a pro-Western puppet. After two years of conflict, he hangs on resiliently. Whether he'll survive is uncertain. Syria's military is strong and supportive. Free Syrian Army and US- recruited death squads are weak by comparison. Reports suggest direct US intervention appears likely. NATO commander Admiral James Stavridis said he's ready to act if asked. Saying it suggests planned escalation. Two Press TV reports raise concerns. One headlined "US military has plans to bomb and send forces in Syria: Washington Post." Plans include "aerial ...

What Follows Turkish/Israeli Reconciliation by Stephen Lendman A separate article called it grand betrayal. Aggrieved families were denied justice. What's ahead matters most. Be concerned. Be very concerned. Israel's the region's most powerful military force. It's nuclear armed and dangerous. Turkey has NATO's second largest standing army. Allied they're formidable and menacing. They give America more options. Doing so bodes ill regionally. NATO commander Admiral James Stavridis said a more aggressive alliance posture could help break Syria's stalemate. It would help oust Assad. He said so during Senate Armed Services Committee testimony. A range of options ...
Obama in Jerusalem

Obama in Jerusalem by Stephen Lendman Rhetoric doesn't reflect policy. What matters most is what Obama means, not what he says. His agenda affirms one-sided Israeli support. He spurns Palestinian rights. He's done so throughout his tenure. He's not about to change now. Palestinians have no friends in Washington. For sure they have none in high places. Obama's their enemy. His words ring hollow. How can a warrior president be taken seriously? He's waging multiple wars. He's ravaging humanity. He spurns rule of law principles. He prioritizes world dominance. He's beholden to monied interests. They own him. Palestinian suffering's increased on his watch. ...
Men Who Kick Down Doors and the War Against Women

Picture this. A man, armored in tattoos, bursts into a living room not his own. He confronts an enemy. He barks orders. He throws that enemy into a chair. Then against a wall. He plants himself in the middle of the room, feet widespread, fists clenched, muscles straining, face contorted in a scream of rage. The tendons in his neck are taut with the intensity of his terrifying performance. He chases the enemy to the next room, stopping escape with a quick grab and thrust and body block that pins the enemy, bent back, against a counter. He shouts more orders: his enemy can go with him to the basement for a “private talk,” or be beaten to a pulp right here. Then he wraps his fingers ...
Escalating Syria's War

Escalating Syria's War by Stephen Lendman Syria is Washington's war. It was planned years ago. At issue is regime change. America tolerates no independent governments. It wants pro-Western puppet ones replacing them. Death squad terror is policy. Washington upped the stakes. Headlines suggest chemical weapons use. Both sides trade accusations. Nothing's verified. Mossad-connected DEBKAfile headlined "Witnesses report onset of chemical warfare in Syria," saying: A "Reuters photographer said he (saw) people come into two Aleppo hospitals with breathing problems after the attack. They claimed people were suffocating on the streets." "Western ...

UN Human Rights Council: America's Imperial Tool by Stephen Lendman In 1945, the UN was established: • "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war; • reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights; • (support) equal rights of men and women....of nations large and small; • establish conditions under which justice....can be maintained; • promote social progress; • practice tolerance and live in peace; and • (promote) economic and social advancement of all peoples." It failed on all counts. It's largely a US imperial tool. It's been so from inception. With few exceptions, the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) marches in ...
America's Dirty War in Iraq

America's Dirty War in Iraq by Stephen Lendman America wages wars dirty. They're all unprincipled and lawless. It's official policy. Exceptions don't exist. No-holds-barred barbarism is longstanding. Rule of law principles don't matter. They never did. Modern technologies make today's wars worse than ever. All forms of brutality are commonplace. On March 6, London's Guardian discussed the Pentagon's link to Iraqi torture centers. General David Petraeus was directly involved. So was Col. James Steele. He's a retired special forces expert. He's a Central America "dirty wars" veteran. His Iraq mandate included establishing ...
Only an Incipient 'Terrorist' Denounces State Murder

According to the SPLC, the people in the burning building were the "terrorists." “There are, in increasingly frightening numbers, cells of angry men in the United States preparing for combat," warns an unusually strident house editorial by the Los Angeles Times. "They are usually heavily armed, blinded by an intractable hatred, often motivated by religious zeal.” That description was not applied to the masked, armor-clad Berserkers who kick down doors in the early morning or late at night and terrorize families over non-violent "offenses." Nor was it offered in reference to the militants who have purchased more than 1.6 billion rounds of ...

Gen. Dunford: Karzai Comments Could Spark Anti-US Attacks Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s weekend comments, blasting the US over the CIA kidnapping of a university student and accusing the US of “colluding” with the Taliban to keep the war going led Gen. James Dunford, the top US commander in Afghanistan, to put troops on a state of heightened alert. Dunford issued a “threat advisory” following the speech, saying Karzai’s comments could be a “catalyst for some to lash our against our forces” and that Karzai himself “may issue orders that put our forces at risk.” The advisory termed Karzai’s statement an “inflammatory ...
The War Against Bradley Manning – A War Against All Who Speak Out Against Injustice

Time and again, throughout America’s history, individuals with a passion for truth and a commitment to justice have opted to defy the unjust laws and practices of the American government in order to speak up against slavery, segregation, discrimination, and war. Even when their personal safety and freedom were on the line, these individuals spoke up, knowing they would be chastised, ridiculed, arrested, branded traitors and even killed. Indeed, while brave men and women such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Henry David Thoreau, Susan B. Anthony and Harriet Tubman are lauded as American heroes today, they were once considered enemies of the state. Thanks to the U.S. government’s ...

Syrian Death Squad Invaders Seize UN Peacekeepers by Stephen Lendman At this writing, efforts to secure their release continue. Reports suggest freeing them on Saturday likely. UN officials hoped to do so Friday. Unsafe conditions and darkness delayed things. So does dealing with rogue killers. They're not rebels. They're Western-recruited hired guns. They're heavily armed, trained, funded and directed. They're proxy US assassins. They're death squads. They're cold-blooded killers. They're imported from abroad. At issue is regime change. Washington wants subservient puppet leadership replacing Assad. Plans are longstanding. They're unchanged. ...

Is the Tide Turning in Favor of Bradley Manning? by MICHAEL McKEE A week ago today, Pfc. Bradley Manning surprised both detractors and supporters by reading a thirtysomething-page statement articulating the specific Whats, Hows and—most importantly—Whys of his disclosures to the popular media site WikiLeaks. In the week since Manning’s dramatic statement, media coverage of the case has shifted from a trickle to a steady storm as even mainstream outlets such as the Guardian, X and Y now echo the message of the 25-year-old army private’s supporters. With no public record or transcript of court proceedings, it is indeed these grassroots supporters who have kept an ...

Gangsters With Federal Pensions The Will of the People Doesn’t Mean Jack Shit to the Drug Warriors by DAVE HUMMELS The Associated Press reports that eight former DEA administrators are urging the Obama administration to sue Washington and Colorado over their voter-approved moves toward marijuana legalization. One former chief, Peter Bensinger, fears that successful legalization efforts will lead to “a domino effect” in the US. Where have we heard that phrase before? Bensinger continues breathlessly, “My fear is that the Justice Department will do what they are doing now: do nothing and say nothing … If they don’t act now, these laws will be fully implemented ...

Exposed: How Pentagon and Petraeus Oversaw Creation of Sectarian Torture Units in Iraq General David Petraeus. Photo Credit: US Army/Wikimedia Commons March 19th marks the 10th anniversary of the ill-fated invasion of Iraq, which resulted in immense destruction inflicted on Iraqi society and countless deaths. And today, The Guardian reveals more details that show just how deep into the moral abyss the U.S. traveled to when it comes to the Iraq War. The British newspaper, along with BBC Arabic, has published an eye-opening investigation that comes after a 15-month project. The most important takeaway is that the U.S. government aided and abetted sectarian torture squads that unleashed ...

AIPAC Conference Day Two by Stephen Lendman AIPAC operates lawlessly. It's an unregistered foreign agent. It prioritizes militancy, war, occupation harshness, apartheid, racist hate, and Israel uber alles. It's a dagger in the heart of rule of law principles and democratic value. It menaces world peace. Its annual conferences display the worst of its agenda. A rogue's gallery of speakers participate. Day two featured Joe Biden and Netanyahu. They spoke back- to-back. Biden did in person. Netanyahu followed by satellite. He remained home in Israel. Iran was the topic of choice. Obama's "not bluffing," said Biden. He "cannot and does not bluff." He ...

AIPAC Conference Promotes War by Stephen Lendman On March 3, AIPAC's 2013 conference began. It "Celebrat(es) 65 Years of Friendship." It's nothing to be admired. It supports war, occupation, exploitation and dominance. It deplores peace, equity and justice. It's contemptuous of fundamental human rights. It believes Jews are God's chosen people. It thinks Arabs are subhumans. It favors eliminating them altogether. War is its instrument of choice. Washington again was venue. A rogue's gallery of participants attended. Warmongering speeches were featured. AIPAC does it annually. It disseminates disinformation, lies and hate. It viciously attacks opponents. ...

Imperial America’s in Good Hands with Philip Gordon by Stephen Lendman He's an American diplomat. He's a foreign policy specialist. He's Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. His portfolio includes 50 countries. He's moving on. More on that below. He serves US imperial interests. They include international security, NATO, coordinating with EU nations and regional organizations, counterterrorism, and nonproliferation. "From the beginning of the Obama administration," he said, "we've made a deliberate and conscious effort to strengthen our ties with Europe and to work with our most important allies around the world on ...

Hawkish Senators Want War on Iran by Stephen Lendman Permanent war is official US policy. Bipartisan complicity supports it. Doing so violates international, constitutional and US statute laws. America is a lawless rogue state. It's been so for decades. It's by far the world's worst. It wages war on humanity. It does it at home and abroad. Innocent victims are murdered in cold blood. It's official policy. So are other high crimes. Political Washington is beholden to dominant monied interests, war profiteers, other corporate favorites, and Israeli Lobby extremists. AIPAC represents their face. It's an unregistered foreign agent. It's represented Israel since ...

Bradley Manning: Profile in Courage Above and Beyond the Call of Duty by Stephen Lendman He's one of America's best. He risked great personal harm. He did so to expose vital truths. He's a true American hero. He deserves praise, not prosecution. In February 2012, Movement of the Icelandic Parliament (MIP) members nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. They felt compelled to recognize his important contribution to world peace. They called nominating him a "great honor." They're indebted for what he did. He deserves Washington's Presidential Medal of Freedom. It's awarded "for especially meritorious contributions to (1) the security or national ...

Kerry Supports Anti-Syrian Government Terrorists by Stephen Lendman Kerry replaced Clinton at State. He didn't miss a beat. He continues her imperial arrogance. He prioritizes war. He deplores peace. He supports Israel's worst crimes. He's contemptuous of rule of law principles. He supports wrong over right. He's indifferent to human suffering. US imperial priorities alone matter. His first overseas trip continues. He left Sunday. He's visiting nine countries in 11 days. After meeting with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, he said: "We all agree that the time has passed for President Assad to heed the voice of his people and the voice of the people in the ...

WND EXCLUSIVE: Savage envisions China threat in ‘A Time for War’ 2

Known to occasionally flout conventional radio wisdom and read passages of Scripture from the Jewish prophets on the air, Michael Savage is releasing a new novel with a title that echoes the wisdom of Solomon. In “A Time for War,” set for release next Tuesday, Savage picks up where he left off in his first endeavor into fiction writing last year, the New York Times bestselling “Abuse of Power.” While “Abuse of Power” spotlighted the threat of radical Islam, “A Time for War” brings focus to another misunderstood danger to U.S. security, communist China. Savage has published 28 non-fiction books, but he finds fiction-writing to be a powerful medium ...

Hollywood-Style History by Stephen Lendman Hollywood's complicity with Washington is longstanding. Movie moguls are duplicitous. The only thing they like like better than good films are good deals. Washington's requests are prioritized. Scripts feature pro-Western propaganda. "Operation Hollywood" explains. Daily Variety/Hollywood Reporter David Robb's book discussed Hollywood's longstanding relationship with the Pentagon. It began post-WW 1. The 1927 silent film "Wings" starred Clara Bow. It launched Gary Cooper's career. It was about two WW I fighter pilot friends. It won Hollywood's first best picture award. "Hollywood Goes to War: ...

Nuclear Roulette Update by Stephen Lendman Multiple P5 + 1 talks were held. Almaty, Kazakstan ones are the latest. Nothing gets accomplished. Washington obstructionism prevents it. Israel does so covertly. Netanyahu reacted as expected. Bluster substitutes for reason. "(T)here are no measures that will make Iran heed the demands of the international community aside from military sanctions against it," he said. Iran won't end its "military nuclear program. (It) continues to violate all the international standards. Therefore I believe that the world must tighten the sanctions and make it clear that if it continues with its plan, there will be military sanctions." ...
