Horror Stories from Obama’s War on Syria by Stephen Lendman US aggression using ISIS and other terrorists to do its dirty work so far left over half a million Syrians dead, millions injured, many permanently maimed, half the population internally or externally displaced, and no end of conflict in sight. Syria is one of many US post-WW II great crimes, a nation being systematically raped and destroyed, imperial ruthlessness at its worst - dominance alone mattering, human lives and welfare of no consequence. Is Western civilization too flawed to fix? It seems so from the despicable example America sets - humanity’s greatest scourge, perhaps its undoing entirely if not challenged ...

US-Stoked Conflict in Ukraine

US-Stoked Conflict in Ukraine by Stephen Lendman Resolving internal conflict in Ukraine is unattainable because Washington wants war, not peace - using its installed puppet regime to do its dirty work, providing it with weapons, funding, training, direction and other material support. Donbass freedom fighters want democracy, not fascist rule, not illegitimate putschists taking orders from Washington, controlling the lives and welfare, militantly anti-Russia, their one reliable ally. Ukrainian forces are massed provocatively along areas bordering Crimea (Russian territory) and Donbass. Donetsk People’s Republic Prime Minister Alexander Zakharchenko said (illegitimate) president ...

The Strategic Battle of Aleppo by Stephen Lendman The outcome of war may hinge on its outcome. Prior to Obama’s aggression, Aleppo was Syria’s commercial hub and largest city. Much of it now lies in ruins, its population reduced to a small fraction of its pre-war size. Syrian forces and Russian airpower continue battling for parts of the city controlled by US- supported terrorists. According to Russian General Sergei Rudskoi, a “most alarming situation has developed on the southwestern approaches to Aleppo where terrorists (massed) about 7,000 gunmen” - equipped with “tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, artillery and vehicles with armament mounted on them.” ...
The Odd Couple: Russia and Turkey Allied?

The Odd Couple: Russia and Turkey Allied? by Stephen Lendman Russia under leading world peacemaker Putin and Turkey ruled by iron-fisted war-maker Erdogan hardly seem like allies for a common geopolitical cause. Hold the cheers. Don’t bet on it. Throughout Obama’s war on Syria, Erdogan has been a loyal imperial ally - supporting ISIS and other terrorist groups, not combating them as he frequently claims. Political pronouncements are one thing, followthrough another. Rogue states like Turkey, America, their key NATO allies and regional ones like Israel and Saudi Arabia can’t be trusted. They’re on the wrong side of all geopolitical issues mattering most. Erdogan ...
Neocons for Hillary

Neocons for Hillary by Stephen Lendman Her con game is pretending to be progressive. Her populist-sounding rhetoric is willful deception. It’s rubbish like husband Bill substituting neoliberal harshness for social justice, like the Sanders revolution that never was, proclaimed solely for vote-getting - to be arrogantly tossed aside once ensconced in office, with no apologies, no looking back. Progressivism and war-making are mortal enemies. Hillary represents the most hawkish side of longstanding US interventionist policy - insatiably inventing enemies to pursue conflicts, mindless of the cost in human lives and misery. If successful in succeeding Obama which seems likely, given ...

H/T to Itistoolate Published on Jul 10, 2016 ISIS is not an Islamic terrorism or terrorists they are Israeli terrorists. ISIS does not stands for Islamic State but it stands for "Israeli Secret Intelligence Service". USA Hillary Clinton Obama John McCain are Directly Responsible for ISIS by Dr Kelly Ward It is McCain’s foreign policy that is “directly responsible,” Ward said, for facilitating the rise of “ruthless” Islamic terrorism. Ward issued the following statement in response to McCain’s Thursday comments: As we got used to during his 2008 presidential campaign, John McCain has once again thrown a punch at Barack Obama and immediately ...

ISIS: Created and Supported by America by Stephen Lendman Campaigning in Florida on Wednesday, Trump was incorrect but on the right track calling Obama “the founder of ISIS,” adding “I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton.” He claimed a power vacuum created by war on Iraq, exploited by ISIS. He needs to get his facts straight. America created and supports all significant terrorist groups in the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia and elsewhere since the CIA’s involvement against Soviet Russia in Afghanistan in the 1980s - using them as imperial foot soldiers. Its so-called war on terror is a war OF terror on humanity, an unparalleled pure ...

Russia Foils Terrorist Attacks by US-Supported Ukraine Putschists by Stephen Lendman On August 10, Tass said Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) foiled “terrorist attacks in Crimea (initiated) by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s main intelligence directorate.” An FSB statement said the plot “target(ed) critically important infrastructure…to destabilize the socio-political situation in the region as preparations for (parliamentary) elections of federal and regional authorities are underway” - scheduled nationwide on September 18, including in the Republic of Crimea and federal city of Sevastopol. On August 7, Ukrainian saboteurs were spotted and ...

Erdogan/Putin Meeting: “A New Landmark in Bilateral Relations?” by Stephen Lendman Interviewed by Tass ahead of meeting with Putin, Erdogan was asked to explain his agenda. Restoring ruptured economic relations was very much on his mind. He called his visit “a new landmark in bilateral relations, a clean slate from which to start anew.” He thanked Putin for being the first foreign leader to express support for his leadership by phone after the aborted events of July 15. “Mr. Putin acted quickly and practically without delay,” he said. “I express my gratitude to him.” At the same time, his comments on resolving years of Syrian conflict were less ...
In Split With Clinton, Sen. Kaine Sees No Legal Authority for New Libya War Allies Expect Kaine to Back Down as Clinton Insists 9/11 AUMF Sufficient for New War

When the US attacked the Libyan city of Sirte last week, they did so without any explicit Congressional authorization. This was unsurprising, of course, as they never got Congressional authorization for the last Libya war either, nor for the ongoing ISIS wars in Syria and Libya. Sen. Tim Kaine (D – VA) tried and failed to get war authorizations passed before, and on Sunday was quick to warn that he doesn’t believe there is any legal authorization for this new war, cautioning it sets a dangerous precedent. With no White House intentions to seek such authorization, this would be a non-story, except Sen. Kaine is the Democratic nominee for Vice President. His running-mate, Hillary ...

Seeing Syria as a Proxy War Against Russia, US Officials Fear They’re ‘Losing’

Syrian Govt's Improved Position Seen as America's 'Loss' US officials and analysts have been warning Syria’s Civil War could quickly devolve into a proxy war between Russia and the United States, but to hear them talk lately, that proxy war has been going on for some time already, and they’re not liking America’s chances. With both sides fighting ISIS, officials have previously sought talking points complaining that Russia was doing it wrong. Lately, however, the US narrative has shifted toward ousting the Syrian government, and since Russia isn’t doing that, it’s a “proxy war.” And since Syria’s government is in a less precarious ...

Syrian Forces Aided by Russian Airpower Maintain Eastern Aleppo Siege by Stephen Lendman Syrian forces have US-supported Eastern Aleppo terrorists trapped under siege - their supply lines cut. Efforts by thousands of other death squad fighters to break through failed, heavy casualties suffered in attempts for the past 10 days. Sputnik News cited a Russian RIA Novosti correspondent, saying terrorists remain surrounded in eastern and southeastern Aleppo. Heavy fighting continues. Supply lines remain severed. Government forces control them. Reports alleging US-supported cold-blooded killer “rebels” broke through are falsified. Over 2,000 terrorists were killed in the last 10 ...

SyrPers... Aleppo: The last two days have been very challenging in the western front, a combined force of many terrorist factions have launched a “all at once” attack toward the Ramouseh corridor. This is on going battle so events are fluid. It is important to understand the dynamics of this attack, the strategy has been to storm from both sides of the corridor, west-east-west, aiming to break the siege and with that cutting the western supply route to 1.5 million Syrians inside Aleppo, leaving only the eastern supply route newly opened at Al Mallah/Bani Zayd. The terrorists’s offensive has started 7 days ago and managed to penetrate quickly toward the corridor, but it ...

We’re All Syrians Now by Stephen Lendman Syria’s struggle against US imperial ruthlessness is ours. After nearly five-and-a-half years of Obama’s war, the fate of the nation and region hang in the balance. Defeating Washington’s rogue agenda is crucial. Letting it colonize Syria means Iran is next - Russia and China the ultimate targets, the only nations able to prevent unchallenged US global hegemony, a horrifying prospect. Bipartisan neocons infesting Washington deplore peace and stability, waging endless wars of aggression in multiple theaters instead - Syria one of many targeted countries, others raging, still more in America’s queue for future attacks.

Fabricated Homeland Security Report on ISIS by Stephen Lendman Fear-mongering in America has been intense since the 9/11 mother of false flag attacks - state- sponsored terror, falsely blamed on convenient patsies. Later the same day I told my brother “they’re drinking champagne in the White House tonight.” Concerned about what would follow, who could have imagined how bad things would get. For the past 15 years, America has been on a slippery slope toward full-blown tyranny and nuclear war. It doesn’t get any worse than that. America was never beautiful from inception. Today it’s fascist governance with nukes, the unthinkable possibility of using them to ...

Obama Claims Success in Combating the Scourge of ISIS America Created and Supports by Stephen Lendman After a Thursday National Security Council meeting at the Pentagon, Obama lied, claiming success against the terrorist scourge he supports. With US aggression raging in multiple theaters, Libya for the second time, he turned truth on its head, saying things “cannot be solved by military force alone,” - ignoring America’s rape and destruction of one country after another, responsible for millions of deaths post-9/11 alone. Claiming “we are constrained here in the United States to (wage) war in a way that’s consistent with our laws” is polar opposite hard ...

Published on Apr 4, 2016 DARPA’s Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel (ACTUV) program has designed, developed and constructed an entirely new class of ocean-going vessel—one intended to traverse thousands of kilometers over the open seas for months at a time, all without a single crew member aboard. The ACTUV technology demonstration vessel was recently transferred to water at its construction site in Portland, Ore., and conducted speed tests in which it reached a top speed of 27 knots (31 mph/50 kph). The vessel is scheduled to be christened on April 7, 2016, with open-water testing planned to begin in summer 2016 off the California coast. For more ...

State Department Mocks Chemical Weapons Use by US-Supported Terrorists in Syria by Stephen Lendman All armed anti-government combatants in Syria are US-supported terrorists. No moderate rebels exist. US strategy to oust democratically elected President Bashar al-Assad includes massacring civilians, no atrocities too extreme excluded. Tactics include terror-bombing residential neighborhoods, hospitals, and other civilian sites, along with use of terrorist foot soldiers to do America’s killing and dying for it. They’re heavily armed, instructed on chemical weapons (CW) use, and permitted to use these banned weapons. Throughout nearly five-and-a-half years of conflict, numerous ...

Obama’s Rape of Libya Part II by Stephen Lendman In 2011, he and then secretary of state Hillary Clinton bore full responsibility for the rape and destruction of Libya, transforming Africa’s most developed country into a cauldron of endless violence, instability, turmoil and unspeakable human suffering - the aftermath of all US imperial wars. They flagrantly violated international, constitutional and US statute laws - attacking another country threatening no others, killing tens of thousands of noncombatant men, women, children, the elderly and infirm. They were warned in advance of chaotic conditions following an attack but went ahead anyway. They knew extremist groups would ...

Washington and the Tel Aviv regime supply the Takfiri militants in Syria with intelligence obtained from the drones they fly over Syria, an Iranian official says. “The US and Israel have a direct ground and air presence amid clashes in Syria. They collect data using drones, provide terrorists with precise intelligence and define specific targets for them,” Hossein Sheikholeslam told Iran’s Tasnim news agency on Sunday. Sheikholeslam, who is an adviser to Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, further accused Washington of seeking “to divide the region based on nationalities” in an attempt to justify the existence of Israel with a “Jewish nationality.” ...
