Blaming Assad for US War Crimes in Syria by Stephen Lendman In September 2011, Paulo Pinheiro was appointed Chairman of a three-member International Commission of Inquiry for Syria (COI). Its mandate is investigating war crimes and human rights abuses - charged with blaming Syria for high crimes committed against its sovereignty and people. Pinheiro is a US imperial tool, wanting Assad held responsible for years of war ravaging the country. Syria was invaded by US-backed terrorists, supported by so-called coalition terror- bombing on the phony pretext of combating ISIS Washington created and supports. The main job of any leader is defending his or her country’s national ...

Are More US-Orchestrated CW False Flags Likely in Syria? by Stephen Lendman The April 4 Kahn Sheikhoun CW attack was a likely CIA-orchestrated incident, carried out by US- supported terrorists - supplied chemical weapons by Saudi Arabia and Turkey, trained in their use by Pentagon contractors. Assad had nothing to do with what happened, wrongfully blamed as part of a Trump administration regime change plot to oust him. Are more US-orchestrated CW false flags likely? Senior Russian Foreign Ministry official in charge of non-proliferation and arms control Mikhail Ulyanov believes so, saying: “The major threat now is that Syrian militants have made certain they can use chemical ...

The Trump administration expects to confront Russia for supplying the Taliban with weapons and strategic support to undermine the American-led coalition in Afghanistan, senior military officials said Monday. Defense Secretary James Mattis said during a news conference in Kabul that the United States will "engage with Russia diplomatically" where possible, but hinted that action to challenge Russia may be necessary. "We're going to have to confront Russia where what they're doing is contrary to international law or denying the sovereignty of other countries," Mattis said. "For example, any weapons being funneled here from a foreign country would be a ...

Wars and rumors of wars have been dominating news cycles of late. No one should be surprised that there is a “former intelligence officer” subculture that is particularly noticeable in the Washington, DC, area. We stay in touch, communicate regularly, have lunches to discuss the “old days,” and sometimes organize to raise objections to some of the foreign follies pursued by the U.S. government. Though we often try to stay under the radar, making personal but discreet contact with sympathetic congressmen and journalists, we sometimes work together to get letters to the editor or articles placed in national publications. More rarely we appear on television or radio to ...

Single Deadliest Taliban Attack on Military of the Entire War Afghan MPs were warning that the death toll is continuing to rise today after yesterday’s infiltration and attack of an Afghan military base near Mazar-e Sharif, which was initially reported to have killed around 50 soldiers and is now shaping up to be the single deadliest Afghan attack on the military in the entire war. Taliban attackers in Afghan military vehicles wearing uniforms got through the external checkpoint to the base, bombing their way past a secondary checkpoint, then launched shooting attacks against the base mosque, just finishing Friday prayers, and the cafeteria, which was just starting to serve lunch. ...

Mattis in Riyadh by Stephen Lendman In Riyadh last week, Defense Secretary Mattis said “Iran’s destabilizing influence in the Middle East would have to be overcome to end the conflict in Yemen, as the United States weighs increasing support” for Saudi Arabia’s war, in its third year, backed by Washington, according to Reuters. “(T)he bottom line is we are on the right path,” Mattis blustered. No Iranian destabilization exists anywhere. He suggested greater US involvement in escalating Yemen’s conflict, instead of responsible efforts to end it - taking steps to address what the UN calls the world’s severest humanitarian crisis. Millions face ...

East Asia Nuclear Roulette by Stephen Lendman The UN Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) warned about possible nuclear war, by design or accident, calling the risk highest since the end of the Cold War. Nine nations have nukes: America, Russia, China, Britain, France, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea. Given heightened world tensions, especially in East Asia, the Middle East, and US hostility toward multiple countries, possible nuclear war may be inevitable, perhaps just a matter of time. In 1982 testimony before Congress, founder of America’s nuclear navy Admiral Hyman Rickover said “(t)he lesson of history is when a war starts, every nation will ultimately use ...

The U.S. power grid appears to have been hit with multiple power outages affecting San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles. The cause of the outage has not yet been made clear, though given the current geo-political climate it is not out of the question to suggest a cyber attack could be to blame. It has also been suggested that the current outages could be the result of a secretive nuclear/EMP drill by the federal government. As we have previously reported, the entire national power grid has been mapped by adversaries of the United States and it is believed that sleep trojans or malware may exist within the computer systems that maintain the grid. In a 2016 report it was noted that ...

Its articles and commentaries read like US administration and Pentagon press releases, responsible journalism abandoned, fake news replacing it. The Times: “The Syrian government’s response to rebellion, continuing year after year, threatens to normalize levels of state brutality not seen in decades.” Fact: No “rebellion” occurred, no uprising, no revolution.

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (WNW 280 4.21.17) North Korea made the most provocative and dangerous threat yet through the state media when it said Kim Jong-Un may order a “super-mighty preemptive strike” against South Korea and the U.S. The U.S. says it is sending an armada to deal with the provocation. China and Russia, which both border North Korea, reportedly have deployed troops there. The threat is the worst ever for the Korean Peninsula as the North now has nuclear weapons that it did not have in the Korean War in the early 1950’s. The CIA and the FBI are now looking for a “traitor” that worked on the inside that leaked intelligence to WikiLeaks. They ...

Terrorists Are Terrorists and Not Rebels in Syria by Stephen Lendman Waging war depends on disinformation, deception and Big Lies - used to justify the unjustifiable. Conflict in Syria isn’t civil. All anti-government forces are US-supported terrorists. Names of different groups don’t matter. They’re all cut out of the same cloth. Their aims are pure evil. They can’t exist without foreign support. State actors bear full responsibility for turning Syria into a charnel house. After over six years of war, hundreds of thousands are dead, mostly defenseless men, women, children, the elderly and infirm - millions internally or externally displaced. Their struggle is ...

He said Iran “appear(s) to be living up to (its) part of the” 2015 nuclear deal. It remains “in force… and that’s all I can say about it.” “(I)n no way (does it) mitigate against or excuse…other Iranian activities in the region including the war in Yemen that grinds on and what they’re doing in Syria.” Fact: America continues waging aggression against both countries. Iran has no involvement in Yemen. It justifiably supports Syrian sovereign independence. So should all nations. Fact: On Tuesday, Trump lied, ...

The Short Answer: Fight it! Make no mistake: after 15 years of losing wars, spreading terror movements, and multiplying failed states across the Greater Middle East, America will fight the next versions of our ongoing wars. Not that we ever really stopped. Sure, Washington traded in George W. Bush’s expansive, almost messianic attitude toward his Global War on Terror for Barack Obama’s more precise, deliberate, even cautious approach to an unnamed version of the same war for hegemony in the Greater Middle East. Sure, in the process kitted-up 19 year-olds from Iowa became less ubiquitous features on Baghdad’s and Kabul’s busy boulevards, even if that distinction was ...

WASHINGTON -- A ranking US senator said the US should launch a preemptive strike on North Korea if that's what it takes to stop Pyongyang from building a missile capable of hitting America, even though such military action would mean war.Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) made the argument during an interview with NBC News, saying that war would be bad for South Korea, Japan and other countries in the region, but won't reach the US, while an intercontinental ballistic missile could do."It would be terrible but the war would be over here (there), wouldn't be here," Graham said with a gesture with his fingers.

Retired Colonel Ralph Peters said on Fox News Wednesday that the U.S. Navy’s “goof-up” with the USS Carl Vinson strike group actually helped to deter North Korean aggression. President Trump had said last week that the Vinson was heading to the Korean peninsula, but in fact, the strike group had been heading in the opposite direction. “The odd thing is it turned out well because this ball of confusion turned into a psychological warfare tool against North Koreans,” Peters said. “It really got their attention.” Peters described how the so-called “goof-up” developed: “Admiral Harris, our commander in the Pacific issued an unclear statement. ...

US bombing missions over Syria are way down since the missile attack on April 6 US just made much of its strike force useless By striking the Syrian military on April 6 with cruise missiles the US demonstrated 'resolve'. So much 'resolve' that it is now afraid to fly over Syria lest the Russians shoot them down. US officials told The New York Times: The American-led task force that is battling the Islamic State has sharply reduced airstrikes against the militants in Syria as commanders assess whether Syrian government forces or their Russian allies plan to respond to the United States’ cruise missile strike on a Syrian airfield this past week, American officials ...

Trump Delegates Warmaking to Generals by Stephen Lendman Articles in the Atlantic and Wall Street Journal discussed Trump’s approach to militarism and warmaking. He’s letting hawkish generals make battlefield decisions - overseen by Defense Secretary Mattis, National Security Advisor McMaster and Joint Chiefs chairman Dunford. Last month, the Atlantic headlined “Trump and the Generals,” saying the president “is fixated on a more conspicuous form of winning.” Earlier he said “(w)e never win…(W)e don’t fight to win.” Generals always want more funding. No matter the amount budgeted, it’s not enough. Trump proposed an additional $54 ...
