Drone Wars by Stephen Lendman Perhaps one day they'll arrive over a neighborhood near you. Drones are becoming America's weapon of choice. Domestically so far, they're used only for eyes in the sky spying. Big Brother wants to watch everyone all the time. Don't bet against eyes not being weaponized one day to punish as well as spy. That's how rogue states operate. America is by far the worst and most dangerous. Waging war on humanity is policy. Imagine living in a country run by officials who think war is good. The more the better. Permanent ones. Wage them while pretending it's done for peace. Few question why America is always at war somewhere. Scant attention ...

Major US-UK Tiff Over Legality of Iran Strike

4 Comments
Amidst reports that Great Britain has denied the US military use of important British bases for an assault against Iran, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little told reporters on Friday that whenever the DOD considers military action “we do it within the legal confines…of this country.” The US has been contemplating military action against Iran’s nuclear program since at least 2006, but the legality of a unilateral attack has evidently not been a major consideration in Washington. It should be, as should the likely tactical complications of British (and potentially broader) non-cooperation. In dramatic contrast to apparent US assumptions of legality concerning ...

Remember Bani Walid by Stephen Lendman For courageous Jamahiriya fighters, it's their finest hour. Despite overwhelming force, use of chemical and other illegal weapons, and US-sponsored mass murder, they hang on valiantly. Western major scoundrels shamelessly ignore the slaughter or misreport it. More on that below. A previous article called what's happening one of history's great crimes. It's a Nuremberg level one writ large. Libyans and people of conscience won't ever let it be forgotten. Mass killing and destruction continues. An entire city is being destroyed. Western-sponsored death squads are murdering civilians in cold blood. NATO-supplied rockets, shells, ...

Trafficking Anti-Iranian Propaganda

Trafficking Anti-Iranian Propaganda by Stephen Lendman American media scoundrels honed it to an art form. Britain's BBC and commercial media regularly feature it. So does a newly licensed anti-Iranian TV channel. More on Raha TV below. On US and UK television, truth is verboten. Last January, Britain banned Press TV broadcasts. In a disturbing move without valid reasons, the British Office of Communications (Ofcom) pulled the plug disgracefully. For months it threatened to do so. In January, Press TV was removed from the Sky Platform. High UK officials approved it. Prime Minister David Cameron perhaps had final say. In October, EU nations followed suit and then some. They lawlessly ...
Welcome to the Age of Hell: Entrenching Murder as the American Way
Post Date: 2012-10-27 07:57:44 by Ada

The Washington Post has just laid out, in horrifying, soul-slaughtering detail, the Obama Administration's ongoing effort to expand, entrench and "codify" the practice of murder and terrorism by the United States government. The avowed, deliberate intent of these sinister machinations is to embed the use of death squads and drone terror attacks into the policy apparatus of future administrations, so that the killing of human beings outside all pretense of legal process will go on, year after year after year, even when the Nobel Peace Laureate has left office. They have even come up with a new euphemism for state murder: "disposition." The new "counterterrorism ...
Netanyahu/Lieberman Unite for War

Netanyahu/Lieberman Unite for War By Stephen Lendman American crimes of war and against humanity perhaps exceed all other rogue states in history combined. Pound-for-pound, however, Israeli lawlessness matches the world's worst. Long ago, it graduated from a regional menace to a global one. It enforces barbaric occupation harshness. Its war machine threatens and attacks neighbors. It gets away with murder because world powers don't intervene to stop it. It wages intermittent war on Gaza. It murders innocent civilians. It uses illegal depleted uranium, chemical and other weapons. Nuclear missiles and bombs are stockpiled. It plans more war now. Gazans know they're ...
Britain Rejects US Request to Use Bases in Attacking Iran

British Lawyers Warn Attack Would Violate International Law The British government has reportedly spurned US requests to use the military bases in Cyprus and Diego Garcia as a staging ground for a US attack on Iran, citing advice from British government lawyers that such an attack would violate international law. Details on the request are scarce, so far, but US diplomats had been reportedly pressing for British permission to use the bases, and the British Defense Ministry has refused, citing advice from the Attorney General’s office that involvement would be illegal. Unnamed British officials say the US was surprised by the reluctance across the British government to give them ...
Obama moves to make the War on Terror permanent

Complete with a newly coined, creepy Orwellian euphemism – 'disposition matrix' – the administration institutionalizes the most extremist powers a government can claim A primary reason for opposing the acquisition of abusive powers and civil liberties erosions is that they virtually always become permanent, vested not only in current leaders one may love and trust but also future officials who seem more menacing and less benign. The Washington Post has a crucial and disturbing story this morning by Greg Miller about the concerted efforts by the Obama administration to fully institutionalize – to make officially permanent – the most extremist powers it has ...

Russia says the United States assists and coordinates arms deliveries to foreign-sponsored insurgents battling the Syrian government forces. “Washington is aware of the deliveries of various weapons to illegal armed groups active in Syria. Moreover, judging by the declarations of US officials published in US media, the US coordinates and provides logistical assistance in such deliveries,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued on Thursday. On Wednesday, Russia's chief military officer said that Syrian armed groups have acquired US-made weapons, including Stinger anti-aircraft missiles. General Nikolai Makarov said it was not clear who had delivered the ...

Genocide in Bani Walid by Stephen Lendman Washington bears full responsibility for waging multiple wars on humanity. It planned, initiated and controls direct and proxy conflicts across North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. Bani Walid made headlines for three weeks. Genocide threatens its residents. Obama's dirty hands are all over this crime of war and against humanity. Media scoundrels ignore it. More on this below. America's proxy war on Syria continues. Washington's directly responsible for recruiting, arming, funding and directing Syrian death squads. On October 24, Voice of Russia reported that Russian Armed Forces chief General Nikolai Makarov said: ...

Negotiations — or War With Iran?

“It would be unconscionable to go to war if we haven’t had such discussions,” said Nicholas Burns, undersecretary of state in the Bush administration, of reports the Obama White House has agreed to one-on-one talks with Tehran over its nuclear program. Sen. Lindsey Graham dissented Sunday: “I think the time for talking is over. … We talk, they enrich. It needs to stop. We need to have red lines coordinated with Israel and end this before it gets out of hand.” Clearly, Graham believes an ultimatum, followed by an attack if Iran denies us “access to their nuclear program,” is the way to “end this.” What kind of attack? According to David ...
In Foreign Policy Debate, Candidates Agree On a Militarist, Interventionist Foreign Policy

In Monday’s presidential debate, GOP contender Mitt Romney persistently avoided confronting President Obama on foreign policy issues, with both candidates agreeing on most fundamental issues. Romney was put in a difficult position on Monday night’s foreign policy debate. As the Republican nominee for President, he was supposed to prove himself the more hawkish candidate. But Obama’s aggressive record on foreign policy left little room for Romney to appear to the right of him. Unlike in previous debates, Romney avoided confrontation with Obama,while Obama this time was on the attack. While both candidates quibbled on the specifics, there was very little in the way of ...

Romney-Obama foreign-policy debate will again show Americans that both political parties mean to maintain the lie that has kept the United States losing the war al-Qaeda and its allies declared on us in 1996. There will seem to be debate during the debate, but at day’s end there will be no difference between Romney and Obama: America is “exceptional,” and exceptionally entitled to intervene in other peoples’ affairs; what we do in the world is well-intentioned and benign; and Islamist militants are attacking us because they hate freedom, liberty, and Budweiser. In other words, both men will implicitly tell Americans that their government will not recognize the ...

Direct US/Iran Nuclear Talks by Stephen Lendman To talk or not to talk. What's sensible is twisted to be complicated. Claiming an existential Iranian threat is red herring cover. At issue is long-planned regime change. Washington's had no direct diplomatic relations with Iran since 1980. Instead of forthrightly explaining why, the State Department said America "has long-standing concerns over Iran's nuclear program, sponsorship of terrorism, and human rights records." In fact, millions worldwide have well-founded fears about Washington on these and other major issues. Iran threatens no one. Its nuclear program is peaceful. America threatens humanity. Global wars it ...

Ahead of a proposed truce by the UN peace envoy to Syria, insurgents in the Arab country are receiving US dollars and heavy weaponry from their foreign supporters. The insurgents receive USD 150 a month for fighting against the Syrian government and the money is coming from some foreign states, including Qatar and Turkey, commanders of the insurgents in the flashpoint city of Aleppo said. The insurgent commanders recently distributed the first salaries of the armed groups in Aleppo. Some regional and trans-regional states also provide the armed groups with sophisticated and heavy machine guns to assist them in fighting against the Syrian army forces. Syria has been experiencing unrest ...

Suspected Taliban militants have opened fire on a Russian military helicopter in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Paktia, but the crew and passengers got away unscathed, Press TV reports. "The Mi-8 helicopter belonging to UTair airline was fired 35 kilometers (22 miles) off the town of Gardez. No one was hurt," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday. The statement added that the helicopter with seven passengers onboard was on its way from the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad -- located about 170 kilometers (105 miles) southeast of the national capital Kabul -- to Paktia capital, Gardez. According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, all passengers were ...

Besieged Gaddafi Stronghold Bani Walid Under Attack by Stephen Lendman Washington's war on Libya rages. Fighting didn't stop after NATO said its seven-month 2011 "mission" ended. Ravaging a nonbelligerent country wasn't good enough. Occupation harshness inflicts more pain. Jamahiriya Green Resistance is strong. Its struggle continues. It won't stop until Libya regains freedom. Loyalists want no part of NATO control, puppet leaders, imperial plundering, and ordinary Libyans used and abused. Frequent freedom fights erupt. Tribes are involved. Local militias have their own agenda. Insurgents battle each other and Green Resistance for control. Government forces ...

Beating Up on Russia, Syria and Iran by Stephen Lendman Russia is slandered for doing the right thing. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland calls Putin's government "morally bankrupt." Moscow's gone all out to prevent proxy war on Syria exploding into full-scale conflict. Putin/Medvedev know the potentially catastrophic consequences. Washington vilifies efforts against its global imperial ravaging. Humanity everywhere is targeted. In September, Moscow was again attacked. At issue was expelling USAID. It's an imperial tool.

FBI Celebrates Foiling Its Own Terror Plot, Again

Federal agents convinced a naïve, violence-inclined 21-year-old Bangladeshi that he was a member of “al-Qaeda,” giving the dupe fake bombs to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank of New York before swarming in and arresting him on October 17. As has become typical, government officials scrambled to put out press releases patting themselves on the back for their work protecting the “Homeland.” In reality, however, there was no al-Qaeda, there was no threat, there were no bombs, and the only alleged “plot” the FBI “foiled” was the one it helped hatch with its dupe, Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis. Like the vast majority of recent domestic ...

Despite statements by Vice President Joe Biden, the State Department is about to begin formal negotiations over the extension of U.S. troops past 2014, a top State Department official said Tuesday. Last week, U.S. and Afghan negotiators met in Kabul to talk about the Bilateral Security Agreement that will govern the extension of U.S. troops past 2014, when President Barack Obama said the combat mission in Afghanistan will end and the U.S. will complete the transition of the entire country to Afghan government control. Also last week, Biden told Americans during his Oct. 11 debate with Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan that U.S. troops were leaving Afghanistan by 2014. ...
