Fighting Rages in Syria Despite Farcical Ceasefire

Fighting Rages in Syria Despite Farcical Ceasefire by Stephen Lendman Ceasefire in Syria exists in name only, in fancy hotel suites and meeting rooms alone - where Sergey Lavrov knew John Kerry bargained in bad faith. US agreed on deals are meaningless, duplicitous. Its diplomats and politicians say one thing, knowing full well they intend something entirely different. On issues of war and peace, it’s always the former over the latter to achieve imperial objectives, compromise out of the question despite false appearances otherwise. America doesn’t negotiate. It demands, imposing its will on other nations, forcibly when other methods fall short. All post-9/11 US wars of ...
Syria Downs Hostile Israeli Warplane and Drone in Its Airspace

Syria Downs Hostile Israeli Warplane and Drone in Its Airspace by Stephen Lendman Too bad it didn’t take out Israel’s entire air force. Allied with America, it’s the region’s leading aggressor, a ruthless rogue state, its nuclear arsenal and long-range delivery capability a threat to humanity. On Tuesday, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported the following: “The General Command of the Army and the Armed Forces announced on Tuesday that the Israeli enemy’s air force attacked a Syrian military position in the countryside of the southern Quneitra province at 1 am on September 13, 2016.” “The General Command said in a statement the Syrian ...

15 years after 9/11; perpetual war and liberties lost Posted on September 12, 2016 by Bob Livingston Personal Liberty Poll Exercise your right to vote. Yesterday marked the 15th anniversary of the 21st Century version of the day that will live in infamy. On September 11, 2001, two aircraft of some type, with an assist by nanothermite charges, brought down America’s two largest skyscrapers. A guided missile hit the Pentagon. Another aircraft or something crashed in a field in Pennsylvania, likely brought down by an American military fighter plane. Conspiracy theory? Hardly. The “official” story – that a cave-dwelling former CIA asset operating out of an area that is ...
War Rages in Syria Hours Ahead of Farcical Peace Deal to Begin

War Rages in Syria Hours Ahead of Farcical Peace Deal to Begin by Stephen Lendman Lavrov/Kerry agreed on terms in Geneva last Friday call for cessation of hostilities to begin at sundown on Monday, September 12, Damascus time - ISIS and al-Nusra excluded. The last negotiated peace deal effective at midnight on February 26 was breached straightaway. Will this time be different? Chances are virtually nil. I explained many times Washington wants war, not peace, Assad ousted, US-controlled puppet governance replacing him, intending continued war until it’s objective is achieved - virtually certain to escalate dangerously if Hillary succeeds Obama. On Monday, the Khmeimim-based Russian ...
9/11 Memorial Hypocrisy

9/11 Memorial Hypocrisy by Stephen Lendman The Memorial and Museum at so-called ground zero leave unexplained Anglo/Zionist responsibility for slaughtering 2,977 World Trade Center victims of US imperial viciousness. America murders its own, then honors the victims. It sends naive youths off to wage wars of aggression, then abandons them on returning home to broken promises - including woefully inadequate medical care for physically wounded, maimed and/or emotionally scarred veterans. On Sunday morning, Trump and Clinton came to ground zero as expected, taking a day off from campaigning, appearing separately, arriving with entourages - ignoring state-sponsored terrorism, perpetuating ...

Rubbish Media Scoundrels Still Report on 9/11, Systematically Suppressing Hard Truths by Stephen Lendman Scoundrel media proliferated Big Lies about 9/11 persist, 15 years after that fateful day. Bin Laden and so-called “crazed Arabs” had nothing to do with what happened - yet still are wrongfully blamed for Anglo/Zionist state-sponsored terrorism, the mother of all false flags, unleashing a holocaust on one nonbelligerent sovereign independent state after another with no letup. Below are three examples of media misinformation - disgraceful rubbish responsible editors and journalists wouldn’t touch. Media scoundrels feature it, notably the New York Times, lead press ...

All Anti-Syrian Forces Are US-Backed Terrorists by Stephen Lendman One of many Big Lies about conflict in Syria is calling it civil, a revolution. Rubbish! It’s Obama’s war using terrorist foot soldiers to do his dirty work, regime change the goal. Another Big Lie pretends so-called “moderate rebels” are involved in combating the government. Nonsense! None exist. One of the cornerstones of the Lavrov/Kerry deal is separating nonexistent moderates from terrorists. Impossible because all armed opposition elements are US-supported cutthroat killers, imported death squads, their numbers replenished regularly to compensate for combat losses. Their arms, munitions and ...

No Breakthrough for Peace in Syria by Stephen Lendman Believing imperial America’s rage for war turned the page for peace in Syria is pure fantasy. Ignore reports suggesting otherwise, wishful thinking at best. So is imagining Washington intends responsibly cooperating with Russia toward achieving conflict resolution - its main adversary, heading for direct confrontation if Hillary succeeds Obama, the threat of nuclear war greater than any time since the atom was split - one giant leap backward for humanity, its survival at risk. The day after Lavrov/Kerry’s 11th hour deal on cessation of hostilities in Syria following marathon talks, fighting rages in multiple parts of the ...
America's Ruthless Imperial War Agenda

America’s Ruthless Imperial War Agenda by Stephen Lendman Peace and stability defeat America’s interests. Endless premeditated wars of aggression against invented enemies serve it. No matter which wing of its one-party state runs things, dirty business as usual continuity is maintained - horrors inflicted on humanity for wealth and dominance. War is glorified in the name of peace. It’s part of the national culture. Pacifism is considered unpatriotic and sissy. War has been ongoing throughout US history at home and abroad against invented enemies, the nation not experiencing a single year of peace. Its war on humanity rages. Its homicide rate is by far the highest among ...
Another Russia/US Syria Peace Plan Doomed to Fail

Another Russia/US Syria Peace Plan Doomed to Fail by Stephen Lendman Give Russia credit for trying, the only major power going all-out for resolving Obama’s naked aggression on Syria diplomatically, knowing the futility of dealing with a duplicitous negotiating partner - saying or agreeing to one thing, intending something entirely different. The last agreed on cessation of hostilities in late February was breached straightaway, US- supported terrorists fully responsible. Multiple earlier rounds of Geneva negotiations since conflict began proved futile. Is this time different following marathon Sergey Lavrov/John Kerry talks? It takes a giant leap of naivete to think so. ...
US-Backed Terrorists Continue Aggression After Russia/US Peace Deal

US-Backed Terrorists Continue Aggression After Russia/US Peace Deal by Stephen Lendman It appears dead-on-arrival like earlier efforts to resolve conflict diplomatically. Understanding why is simple. Washington and its rogue allies continue arming, funding, training and directing ISIS and other terrorist groups, using them as imperial foot soldiers to destroy Syrian sovereignty, wanting it replaced with US-controlled puppet governance. No so-called moderates exist. All anti-government forces are terrorists, cutthroat killers, US- backed death squads for regime change. American objectives haven’t changed. Kerry’s lofty rhetoric in Geneva was duplicitous, concealing ...

NYT Editors Support Provocative US Actions in Asia by Stephen Lendman America is incrementally heading toward global war on three fronts - Russia in Eastern Europe, Iran in the Middle East, and China in Asia, challenging these countries aggressively. Times editors called Obama’s destructive agenda “unfinished business in Asia,” following completion of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Vientiane, Laos. Instead of denouncing Washington’s provocative military footprint and political pressure in a part of the world not its own, Times editors expressed support for US actions heading for eventual war if not stopped - calling them ...

Turkey Part of the Problem in Resolving Conflict in Syria by Stephen Lendman On August 24, Turkish forces allied with US air support and anti-Assad terrorist fighters invaded Syria lawlessly - naked aggression by any standard on the phony pretext of combating ISIS, Ankara’s ally, and establishing border security. Erdogan upped the stakes, making conflict resolution harder to achieve than already. He wants northern Syria annexed, along with Kurdish YPG fighters eliminated from territory he seized, while falsely claiming his mission seeks to establish a safe zone for Syrian civilians - desperate people he continues arming ISIS and other terrorists to massacre. On September 8, he ...

No Russia/US Agreement on Syria by Stephen Lendman Both sides remain intractably apart despite a Washington Post report suggesting otherwise. Believe nothing US media scoundrels say. WaPo was over-the-top, saying “(t)he Obama administration has told Russia that it is at the end of its patience in trying to arrange a cease-fire in Syria…” It’s unattainable because Washington wants war, not peace. It’s supporting terrorism, not combating it. It wants Assad forcefully removed, pro-Western puppet governance replacing him - despite his democratic election and overwhelming popularity. Endless Russia/US talks continue, Sergey Lavrov and John Kerry meeting again in ...
Bipartisan Neocons Infesting Washington Want War on Russia

Bipartisan Neocons Infesting Washington Want War on Russia by Stephen Lendman Hillary is their choice to succeed Obama for good reason. They want WW III. She’s lunatic enough to launch it, given her rage for US dominion over planet earth - even at the risk of destroying it. Chances for a preemptive US nuclear first-strike on Russia is too great a threat to tolerate - putting humanity’s fate up for grabs like never before. Letting her become commander-in-chief of America’s military with her finger on the nuclear trigger is madness. Yet that’s where things seem headed, given her scandalously one-sided scoundrel media support while relentlessly bashing Trump no matter ...

No Prospect for Peace in Syria by Stephen Lendman How can there be peace when conflict aggressor America wants war - dangerously headed toward escalation if Hillary succeeds Obama, risking direct confrontation with Russia. Endless conflict resolution discussions proved futile. Nothing in prospect suggests responsible change. Scores, maybe hundreds of Syrians die daily, mainly civilians - America, its rogue partners and terrorist foot soldiers consider them legitimate targets. Hillary orchestrated war on Syria as secretary of state. One of her leaked emails said “(t)he best way to help Israel deal with Iran’s growing nuclear capability is to help people of Syria overthrow the ...

Syria: Raped by US Imperialism by Stephen Lendman Endless US post-9/11 aggression against one nonbelligerent nation after another appears part of a neocon-sponsored WW III plot, likely culminating at some point with war on Russia, China and Iran - Syria and Ukraine perhaps the most threatening flashpoints. The former is dangerous because Russia and America remain intractably apart on conflict resolution, both nations directly involved in what’s ongoing - Moscow combating terrorism, Washington supporting it, Syria being raped and destroyed in the process, escalated war virtually certain if Hillary succeeds Obama. Ukraine represents US-installed, Nazi-infested fascism in ...

Putin/Obama Meeting in China by Stephen Lendman Carefully worded diplomatic language following high-level Russia/US meetings conceal intractable positions on resolving conflicts in Syria and Ukraine. Things are no closer now than earlier, regardless of public pronouncements. Washington wants its imperial agenda proceeding unobstructed, war its principle strategy of choice. Years of Russia/US talks proved futile. Expect nothing different this time whatever is announced ahead. Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said his Monday meeting with Obama “lasted longer than planned,” discussions focusing mainly on Syria and Ukraine, resolving nothing. “(W)ork will ...

Israel Attacks Syria by Stephen Lendman Israel is allied with Washington’s aim to destroy Syrian sovereignty, oust its democratically elected leader, install pro-Western puppet rule, partition the country, loot its resources, exploit its people and isolate Iran ahead of targeting its country the same way for the same purpose. Since Obama launched war in March 2011, Israeli forces intermittently terror-bombed and shelled Syrian targets. Netanyahu actively supports ISIS and other terrorist groups, supplying arms, munitions and medical treatment for its wounded fighters. Syria never once attacked or threatened Israeli territory. On Sunday, an errant shell, perhaps fired by ...
EXCLUSIVE: A calamity is unfolding in Yemen and it is time world woke up

Editor's Note: Award-winning journalist Peter Oborne and Middle East Eye's Nawal Al-Maghafi are among the few correspondents to have ventured into war-torn Yemen during the past month. In the first of a series of exclusive reports, they survey the devastation and reveal the culpability of the West for the carnage that is unfolding on a daily basis. Much of their reporting is from Houthi-held territory, where they were accompanied, and their interviews monitored, by Houthi minders. We are, however, confident that what they were told by their interviewees is authentic. SANAA - The humanitarian calamity in Yemen entered a terrifying new phase of horror this month as air strikes on ...

Putin Seeks Normalized Ties with Turkey Despite Erdogan’s Syria Aggression by Stephen Lendman After Turkey downed a Russian warplane in Syrian airspace last November, Putin justifiably accused Erdogan of backstabbing him. He did it again by invading northern Syria on August 24 - on the phony pretext of securing Turkey’s border and combating ISIS he supports. Naked aggression makes borders and areas affected less secure, not safer. Erdogan shamelessly claimed he “liberated” 400 square miles of northern Syria. It’s illegally occupied foreign territory, the world community addressing what’s happening solely with meaningless rhetoric - effectively permitting ...

Obama Talks Peace in Syria While Waging War by Stephen Lendman Peace defeats America’s imperial objectives. Multiple US wars rage endlessly. Others await to be launched. Syria is Obama’s war, naked aggression using ISIS and other terrorist groups as proxy foot soldiers - intending endless conflict to replace sovereign Syrian independence with pro-Western puppet governance. In Hangzhou, China at the G-20 summit, Obama dissembled like he always does - on the one hand, saying Washington and Moscow may agree on ways to resolve Syria’s conflict and provide vitally needed humanitarian aid to desperate people. On the other, he turned truth on its head, claiming Russia may ...

Dubious Russia/US Agreement on Syria by Stephen Lendman Putin hinted at one coming days earlier. On September 2, Sergey Lavrov announced it, saying “(v)irtually all components of this task are already clear. An understanding has been reached on most issues.” “The most important thing is that any agreements with the Americans on practical actions, on coordination of operations against terrorists will not be implemented if our American partners do not keep their promise to dissociate themselves from terrorists, above all, the Jabhat al-Nusra” terrorist group banned in Russia. “Many of the groups considered acceptable by the US have actually affiliated with Jabhat ...

Hillary’s American Legion Address: A Near-Declaration of War on Russia by Stephen Lendman The shocking prospect of Hillary succeeding Obama should scare everyone. No likely future US leader ever represented a greater threat to world peace and humanity’s survival than she does - an unparalleled menace, a chilling red alert to where things seem heading, a possible doomsday scenario unfolding in plain sight while no one’s paying attention. UK politician Simon Parkes lays out a possible WW III scenario, believing Germany’s Angela Merkel may be used as a modern-day Archduke Ferdinand to provoke conflict with Russia. Days earlier, a possible assassination attempt on her ...
Iraq Recruiting Child Soldiers

Iraq Recruiting Child Soldiers by Stephen Lendman According to a new Human Rights Watch (HRW) report, Iraq’s US-installed puppet regime is recruiting children as soldiers - flagrantly violating international law, forbidding use of combatants under age 18. Recruitment allegedly is in preparation for an offensive against ISIS in Mosul. According to HRW’s Bill Van Esveld, “(t)he recruitment of children as fighters for the Mosul operation should be a warning sign for the Iraqi government.” Its authorities and “foreign allies need to take action now, or children are going to be fighting” each other on both sides. ISIS extensively uses child combatants. Debaga ...
