Humanity at Risk

Humanity at Risk by Stephen Lendman Never before in history was humanity more at risk than now. Earlier wars were fought with conventional weapons. Today’s super-ones make them look like toys by comparison. Thermonuclear bombs, if used, can incinerate entire cities and surroundings. Enough of them launched risks nuclear winter. Physician, nuclear expert, anti-war activist Helen Caldicott earlier said “nuclear technology threatens life on our planet with extinction.” “If present trends continue, the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink will soon be contaminated with enough radioactive pollutants to pose a potential health hazard far greater than ...
No Respite in Obama's War on Syria

No Respite in Obama’s War on Syria by Stephen Lendman Washington seeks a military solution while pretending it wants things resolved diplomatically. Endless conflict for five-and-a-half years proves its real intentions. So does obstructing Russia’s continued efforts for restoring peace and stability to war-torn Syria. On Tuesday, State Department spokesman admiral John Kirby downplayed ongoing Turkish aggression for the past week in northern Syria, saying “over the last 12 to 18 hours…there has been calm.” White House press secretary Josh Earnest repeated the same distortion, saying “(t)he United States welcomes the overnight calm between the Turkish ...
Fabricated UN Report on Chemical Weapons Use in Syria

Fabricated UN Report on Chemical Weapons Use in Syria by Stephen Lendman Throughout years of conflict, Syria was falsely accused of using chemical weapons numerous times, accusations without verifiable evidence each time - along with being blamed for war crimes committed by US-supported terrorists and Pentagon warplanes. The new UN report looks like the latest attempt to maliciously vilify Assad and Syria’s military, likely orchestrated by Washington, part of what looks like an imperial scheme for greater US-led intervention - escalated war instead of legitimate efforts to end it, prelude to when Hillary succeeds Obama. As secretary of state, she orchestrated war to oust Assad ...
Syria: Victim of US State Terror

Syria: Victim of US State Terror by Stephen Lendman Syria is one of numerous US war theaters - naked aggression against sovereign independent countries to replace their ruling authorities with pro-Western puppet governance. An emailer asked me when WW III might begin. It’s perhaps ongoing with no one noticing, I said - begun with US aggression on Afghanistan, the 9/11 mother of all false flags the pretext, or maybe when the Clintons raped Yugoslavia. Hillary urged husband Bill to wage war. Things seem certain to become worse ahead - the ominous prospect of war on Russia, China and Iran, all longstanding US regime change targets, obstacles in the way of it achieving unchallenged ...
Turkey Slaughtering Syrian Civilians, World Community Silent

Turkey Slaughtering Syrian Civilians, World Community Silent by Stephen Lendman When America, Israel and their rogue allies wage war, civilians are considered legitimate targets - slaughtered in cold blood unaccountably. Last Wednesday, Turkey, complicit with Washington, invaded Syria, committing naked aggression by any standard. Civilians in combat areas are being slaughtered or injured. Reported casualties way underestimate the true toll. In all US war theaters, deaths and injuries are multiples higher than claimed. Reports indicate Turkish and Pentagon warplanes bombed civilian homes. Entire families may have been slaughtered. Washington and Ankara support ISIS and other terrorist ...
SYRIAN ARMY RECAPTURES DAARAYYAA

Syrian Perspective... DAARAYYAA TOTALLY CLEAN; SYRIAN ARMY MOPS IT UP; 700+ JOIN MILITIAS TO FIGHT WAHHABISM; DAMASCUS: It’s over. Plain and simple. Despite some die-hard degenerate foreigners who felt cheated out of their moment of death and rebirth in a temporal Paradise filled with 72 Virginians, the agreement to evacuate Daarayyaa was finally crowned when other terrorists warned the “end-of-timers” that they would face a different destiny if they were killed by fellow rodents. The vast majority of the citizens and those who were once traitors were packed into buses and spirited off to Al-Harjala Temporary Shelter near Damascus. About 300 rodents and their stinking ...
Heading for All-Out War on Syria

Heading for All-Out War on Syria by Stephen Lendman Turkey’s invasion of northern Syria, aided by Pentagon warplanes, terrorist fighters, and US forces on the ground, may have been prelude to longstanding US plans for toppling Assad forcefully - on the phony pretext of combating terrorism along with blaming him for Obama’s aggression, orchestrated by Hillary. If anointed president in November, she’ll order a “full review” of America’s Syria policy, wanting unfinished business completed. According to her chief foreign policy advisor Jeremy Bash, her top priority is getting Assad “out of there” - in other words, greater US naked aggression to ...
Who Are the Real Terrorists in Syria?

Who Are the Real Terrorists in Syria? by Stephen Lendman State-sponsored and scoundrel media propaganda on Syria’s conflict is some of the worst in memory. Most Americans and others in Western countries are sublimely ignorant about what’s going on, fed misinformation and Big Lies instead of hard truths about Obama’s dirty war - state terror against millions of defenseless Syrians, victims of imperial ruthlessness. The real terrorists in Syria are foreign nation-states, America most of all - responsible for launching preemptive naked aggression, disguised to look like a revolutionary uprising using Islamist jihadist fighters, largely imported from scores of countries, not ...
The Kerry/Lavrov Show's Record of Futility

The Kerry/Lavrov Show’s Record of Futility by Stephen Lendman Both ministers met numerous times since Kerry took over at State from Hillary on February 1, 2013. Last March, Lavrov said both men met 18 times in the past year alone, more discussions held since then, including Friday in Geneva, focusing largely on Syria. Like all previous meetings, nothing advanced things closer to conflict resolution. It’s perhaps more distant since Turkey invaded northern Syria, backed by US warplanes, its special forces and hundreds of terrorist fighters, intending indefinite occupation of territory seized, perhaps annexation to follow with barely a public whimper from Moscow. Commenting ...

Failure in Geneva to Resolve Obama’s War on Syria by Stephen Lendman When diplomats says talks were constructive they mean failure to achieve what’s most important. Countless hours of US/Russia face-to-face and telephonic talks on Syria’s conflict preceded Friday’s Kerry/Lavrov session in Geneva - yet irreconcilable differences remain between both sides. Endless war rages because Washington wants it continued - dangerously escalated by Turkey’s lawless invasion of northern Syria, aided by US warplanes and operatives on the ground. Obama wants Syria transformed into another US colony, its sovereign independence destroyed, its leadership replaced with servile ...

NYT Reinvents Obama’s War on Syria by Stephen Lendman Disgracefully calling Obama’s naked aggression against a nonbelligerent nation civil war denigrates millions of long-suffering Syrians - victims of US imperial viciousness. Headlining Syria’s Paradox: Why the War Only Ever Seems to Get Worse,” The Times reinvented one of history’s greatest crimes - besides numerous others on America’s despicable rap sheet. More on its article below. Tim Anderson’s important book, titled “The Dirty War on Syria: Washington, Regime Change and Resistance” is the definitive account of the conflict - must reading to understand it. Separately, he explained ...

Turkey Announces Indefinite Occupation of Northern Syria by Stephen Lendman Indefinite means permanent unless redefined. After invading northern Syria on Wednesday, backed by US warplanes and hundreds of terrorist fighters, along with CIA and special forces operatives on the ground, Ankara expanded its aggression with more troops and heavy weapons - perhaps still more to come. On Friday, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim lied, saying “(w)e are protecting our country’s territorial integrity and Syria’s unity.” “Our army will continue the operation until terrorists are completely driven out of this region.” Turkish troops “are providing logistics ...
Dubious UN Report Claiming Syrian Use of Chemical Weapons

Dubious UN Report Claiming Syrian Use of Chemical Weapons by Stephen Lendman A new UN Secretary-General report on use of chemical weapons in Syria appears more like pro- Western propaganda than legitimate analysis. Throughout years of conflict, Syria repeatedly was accused of crimes it didn’t commit - evidence later showing US-backed terrorists were responsible. No evidence links its government or military to use of chemical weapons. It destroyed its entire stockpile, verified by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). US-supported terrorists used chemical weapons time and again against defenseless Syrian civilians, including Saudi Arabia-supplied toxic ...

Diplomats Talk While Syrians Die by Stephen Lendman Earlier peace talks aimed at conflict resolution were stillborn - a waste of time accomplishing nothing. Endless Sergey Lavrov/John Kerry meetings on Syria achieved nothing substantive toward resolving intractable positions on both sides. Both men are in Geneva for another round of talks on Friday. Pro-Western UN envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura is involved. Reportedly he’ll meet separately with each minister to discuss UN conflict resolution proposals. Why this way instead together with them both is one of many examples of irreconcilable US/Russian positions on the conflict. Ahead of Friday’s meeting, US and Russian ...
Israel Absolves Itself from 2014 Naked Aggression on Gaza

Israel Absolves Itself from 2014 Naked Aggression on Gaza by Stephen Lendman Israel remains unaccountable for decades of racist ruthlessness - massacring, persecuting and otherwise collectively punishing Palestinians for not being Jewish. Operation Protective Edge was its third war on Gaza in five-and-a-half years - premeditated naked aggression against a largely defenseless population, 1.8 million people trapped under lawless siege, no safe havens for protection. Israel’s war had nothing to do with Hamas rockets. Claiming it was a ruse, media scoundrels reporting it like gospel. Attacking the Strip targeted Palestine’s legitimate government, democratically elected in January ...

NYT Suppresses Escalated US/Turkish Aggression in Syria by Stephen Lendman One of the best ways to be misinformed and stay that way is by following deplorable Times propaganda - a longtime imperial mouthpiece, supporting all US wars of aggression, pretending they’re humanitarian missions. On Wednesday, Turkish military forces supported by US warplanes and hundreds of US-backed terrorists falsely called “moderate rebels” launched naked aggression on northern Syria. Separate articles on the Lendman blog and other sites posting my work explain what’s going on - entirely different from what The Times reported, beginning with a deceptive headline, saying ...

Reality in Syria by Stephen Lendman As a longtime peace, stability, human and civil rights activist, I’m appalled about what’s happening in Syria. It’s one of numerous US targeted countries, ravaged and destroyed one after another, responsible for millions of casualties gone unreported by deplorable media scoundrels - supporting America’s imperial ruthlessness. It’s waging naked aggression against nonbelligerent nations to transform their sovereign independence into US colonies. Israel’s regional agenda is served. Regime change in Syria if achieved isolates Iran, next in America’s queue to be targeted by war or color revolution. Syria is in the eye ...

US Supports Turkey’s Invasion of Syria by Stephen Lendman There’s no delicate way of putting it. Throughout Obama’s rape of Syria, Turkey partnered with America for its own self-interest. It profits from selling stolen ISIS oil, covets annexation of northern Syrian and Iraqi territory. Erdogan’s primary aim is establishing a new Ottoman empire, naked aggression his strategy. His meeting with Putin in St. Petersburg on August 9 achieved nothing toward resolving Syria’s conflict - just the opposite based on events since Wednesday. Days earlier comments by Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim were duplicitous in promising to work with Russia and Iran for ...

Turkish Forces Enter Syria on Phony Pretext of Combating ISIS by Stephen Lendman Turkey supports ISIS and other terrorist groups operating in Syria and Iraq. At the same time, it’s waging war on Kurds in both countries as well as at home. On August 24, its forces entered Syria pre-dawn as part of its war to prevent a Kurdistan formation on its border, perhaps eventually including southeastern Turkish and northern Iraqi territory, areas with large Kurdish populations. Below is how Turkey’s Hurriyet Daily News (HDN) reported what happened with a caveat. Most media in Turkey are state influenced, restricted, directly or indirectly controlled. Here’s the timeline as reported ...

Western Propaganda Paid for in Syrian Blood by Stephen Lendman In his important book, titled “The Dirty War on Syria” Tim Anderson discusses how US naked aggression on a nonbelligerent country relies on “a level of mass disinformation not seen in living memory.” There’s nothing civil about war in Syria, raped by US imperialism, wanting pro-Western puppet governance replacing its sovereign independence. Media scoundrels are complicit in what’s going on, supporting US-sponsored mass slaughter and destruction instead of denouncing it. Writer, photographer, peace activist Vanessa Beeley interviewed Assad political and media advisor Bouthiana Shaaban in ...

Hey, what does Germany know that we don’t know? Or, rather, aren’t being told by the government? Their government is telling them to start stockpiling food and water for The Doomsday Event (As Seen On TV!!!) No? Well, have a look. Gosh, as much as America loves Doomsday, how come we’ve been left out of the loop on this? I feel like they threw an End-Of-The-World Party and we weren’t invited. Maybe they don’t want us to live through it. Do you think? Doomsday has always been a crowd-pleaser, so to speak, since the year 999 AD ticked over into 1000 AD. Of course, everyone was very disappointed when the world didn’t end as clerical authorities had promised. ...

Pentagon Threatens to Down Russian and Syrian Planes by Stephen Lendman Syrian land and airspace are sovereign state territory. No foreign power may deny its military or other aircraft from operating anywhere within its borders - or Russian planes and ground personnel invited by its government. America and its rogue partners operate illegally in Syria. On the phony pretext of combating ISIS, they’re waging war on its government, terror-bombing selected targets, using terrorists called “moderate rebels” as imperial foot soldiers on the ground. After a near confrontation between Syrian and US aircraft last week in territory where American special forces operate on the ...

New Developments on Russia’s Use of Iran’s Hamadan Airbase by Stephen Lendman Days earlier, Iran’s Defense Minister Hossein Dehqhan gave Russia permission to use its Hamadan airbase against terrorists in Syria as long as needed. “The decision will remain in place until there is no need in it,” he said. “Reception of Russian aircraft at the airbase in Hamadan is carried out in the framework of mutual cooperation and the fight against terrorism at the request of the Syrian government,” he explained. For several days last week, Russia conducted large-scale strikes on ISIS and Nusra Front from the facility - destroying six command and control centers, five ...

Pro-Western Syrian Network for Human Rights by Stephen Lendman UK-based far from Syria’s conflict, the pro-Western, anti-Syria, anti-Russia SNHR calls itself “an independent, non-governmental, nonprofit, impartial organization - run by a man named Fadel Abdul Ghani. Its operation is similar to the UK-based pro-Western Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a notorious propaganda mouthpiece, publishing material given him by his handlers, mostly pure rubbish, no doubt well compensated for his efforts. On August 18, SNHR headlined “Russian Forces Surpasses (sic) ISIS in Killing Syrian Civilians - State’s Terrorism is more Atrocious than the Terrorism of Extremist ...

Aleppo Boy’s Photographer: Ally of US-Supported Terrorists by Stephen Lendman New information on the Aleppo Boy story at the very least gives it the appearance of being an elaborately staged hoax. AP News broke the story. Off-guardian.org reported “of the three journalists credited, one was in Beirut, one in Geneva, and one in Moscow” - none in Aleppo or anywhere in Syria. The obvious question is how is a breaking story possible without being anywhere near where it happened? What sources were used? What due diligence checking was done - red flags without answers! AP likely published the script and photo it was handed, functioning as an imperial press agent, mocking ...
