NYT Cheerleads Obama's Libya 2.0 Aggression

NYT Cheerleads Obama’s Libya 2.0 Aggression by Stephen Lendman America hasn’t waged war legally since WW II. All subsequent direct and indirect ones were and continue to be naked aggression against nonbelligerent states. Media scoundrels suppress what’s most essential to report, notably The New York Times, a longstanding mouthpiece for wealth, power and privilege - its editors at it again, cheerleading Obama’s latest aggression instead of denouncing it. Claiming he’s combating the scourge of ISIS ignores what Washington created and supports. Times editors lied, saying America’s military “open(ed) another front in its war against the terrorist ...

US-Supported Terrorists Use Chemical Weapons Against Syrian Civilians by Stephen Lendman America is a rogue state waging terror-war on humanity at home and abroad. US streets and communities nationwide are battlegrounds. All sovereign independent states are targeted for regime change. Wars of aggression rage in multiple theaters abroad, chemical and other banned weapons used freely against defenseless civilians. On August 2, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported “(s)even civilians…killed and 25 others were injured due to terrorists attacks with rocket shells on residential neighborhoods in Aleppo, including one attack which used shells containing toxic gas.” ...

Chicken Hawk US Presidents by Stephen Lendman The last US president to perform active duty military service was GHW Bush in WW II. GW Bush dodged Vietnam War era service by serving in the Texas Air National Guard - yet was AWOL unaccountably most of the time and permanently suspended from flying. Media scoundrels ignored what demanded highlighting - along with lots more about his deplorable record making him unqualified to serve. His vice president/former defense secretary, real power in charge Dick Cheney got his 1-A Selective Service eligible for induction status changed to 3-A to avoid military service altogether. Bill Clinton was classified 1-A but never served. String-pulling got ...

US-Supported Terrorists Balk at Resuming Syria Peace Talks by Stephen Lendman The so-called US/Saudi cobbled together High Negotiations Committee (HNC) comprised of anti- Assad terrorists groups refuse to resume peace talks unless their unacceptable demands are met. Syrian and Russian forces gained the advantage on the battlefield against their fighters, keeping up pressure, continuing to defeat them decisively. Hundreds in their ranks are laying down arms and surrendering in Aleppo and other areas. Hundreds more were killed, their weapons, munitions and equipment destroyed or captured. HNC terrorists won’t talk peace while their fighters are being defeated militarily. Talks were ...

US-Supplied Weapons Likely Downed Russian Helicopter Delivering Humanitarian Aid in Syria by Stephen Lendman Washington wants war, not peace in Syria, its democratically elected government replaced by a US-controlled puppet one. It’s strategy includes massacring civilians and preventing humanitarian aid from reaching others in need. Russia is the only major power aiding long-suffering Syrian people, going all-out to supply them with food, medical supplies and medicines, as well as other humanitarian aid. After delivering supplies to civilians in Aleppo, its Mi-8 helicopter was downed by US-supported terrorists over an area they control. “Three crew members and two officers ...
US Terror-Bombs Libya on the Phony Pretext of Combating ISIS It Supports

US Terror-Bombs Libya on the Phony Pretext of Combating ISIS It Supports by Stephen Lendman Has Libya 2.0 begun? Will weeks or months of terror-bombing continue to solidify control over a nation Washington wants as an unchallenged client state? Law Professor Francis Boyle emailed the following: “Congress goes on vacation in August. So predictably (Obama) uses its absence as an occasion to start a new war in violation of the United Nations Charter, the War Powers Clause of the Constitution and the US War Powers Resolution of 1973.” Bombing Libya or any other country without Security Council authorization is naked aggression plain and simple. There’s no getting around it. ...

A Terrifying Glimpse of What Hillary in Charge Means by Stephen Lendman America is a warrior nation, Hillary its most despicable exponent, her rage for war humanity’s greatest threat, WW III too serious a risk to allow her to succeed Obama. She supported and encouraged all US premeditated belligerence since the 1990s Balkan wars and rape of Yugoslavia. As secretary of state, she orchestrated war on Libya and Syria, naked aggression against both countries - devastated by mass slaughter, destruction and displacement, along with unspeakable chaos and human misery. London’s Telegraph said her “first key task” as president, if elected, will be ordering a “full ...

Anti-Russian hysteria in America reached its apogee this week as Democrats tried to divert attention from embarrassing revelations about how the Democratic Party apparatus had rigged the primaries against Bernie Sanders by claiming Vlad Putin and his KGB had hacked and exposed the Dem’s emails. This was rich coming from the US that snoops into everyone’s emails and phones across the globe. Remember German chancellor Angela Merkel’s cell phone being bugged by the US National Security Agency? Unnamed US ‘intelligence officials’ claimed they had ‘high confidence’ that the Russian KGB or GRU (military intelligence) had hacked the Dem’s emails. These ...

Hillary: An Existential Threat to Humanity by Stephen Lendman Hillary is unique in the annals of US presidential politics, a despicable aspirant like no other, an unprecedented threat to world peace, security and humanity’s survival. Letting her succeed Obama is an unacceptable risk no thinking, peace loving person should tolerate. It’s inconceivable for anyone knowing her public record to support her - an untrustworthy, widely reviled she-devil, war goddess, racketeer, serial liar threat to virtually everything peace-loving people everywhere hold most dear. New York Times-led media scoundrels deplorably endorse her, serving as virtual press agents, abandoning journalistic ...
The New York Times Plummet from Grace

The New York Times Plummet from Grace by Stephen Lendman It’s not the “newspaper of record.” It’s the voice of wealth, power and privilege - supporting tyranny over democracy, war over peace, state terror over fundamental freedoms, propaganda over hard truths. The late Gore Vidal called The Times the “Typhoid Mary of American journalism” for good reason. Today it’s little more than a laughing stock, making conventional yellow journalism look good by comparison. Supporting the Clinton crime family shows how low The Times has sunk, their agenda reflecting pure evil, a menace too unacceptable to tolerate. Independent journalism and opinion aren’t ...

Bashar Al-Assad: Heroic Defender of Syrian Sovereignty by Stephen Lendman In March 2011, Obama launched naked aggression on Syria, a nation threatening no others, using ISIS and other terrorist fighters as imperial foot soldiers. There’s nothing civil about ongoing conflict, one of the many US-led Western proliferated Big Lies. Syria was invaded, death squads recruited from scores of countries. Endless war without mercy continues, Assad the target, regime change the objective, wanting pro- Western puppet governance replacing Syrian sovereign independence. Everything media scoundrels report about what’s going on is scandalous misinformation and Big Lies, hard truths suppressed ...

SOTT... The shocking rates of infant mortality and cancer in Iraqi city raise new questions about battle Dramatic increases in infant mortality, cancer and leukaemia in the Iraqi city of Fallujah, which was bombarded by US Marines in 2004, exceed those reported by survivors of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, according to a new study. Iraqi doctors in Fallujah have complained since 2005 of being overwhelmed by the number of babies with serious birth defects, ranging from a girl born with two heads to paralysis of the lower limbs. They said they were also seeing far more cancers than they did before the battle for Fallujah between US troops and ...

RI... Modern tanks have too many problems dealing with infantry increasingly armed with effective anti-tank missiles Could the Russian Terminator series—also know as the Boyevaya Mashina Podderzhki Tankov—be the harbinger of future armored vehicle design? Based on its experience in Ukraine, Georgia, Chechnya and Afghanistan, the Russian military certain believes so according to Ruslan Pukhov, director of the Moscow-based Centre for the Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST). As such, Russia is mulling over the possibility of ditching the traditional tank—as it is currently conceptualized—and considering adopting a machine that is much more capable of defending ...

US Cyberwar on Russia? By Stephen Lendman On Saturday, Tass reported what looks like Washington’s dirty handiwork, perhaps complicit with NATO and Israel, saying: Russia’s “Federal Security Service (FSB) revealed virus software for cyber-spying in computer networks of about 20 organizations located in Russia.” The attack targeted “information resources of the state authorities, scientific and defense companies, enterprises of the defense industry and other objects of the country’s critically important infrastructures.” “(C)learly, it was a targeted virus spread, planned and made professionally. Specialists say the malicious software, judging by ...

Trump and Clinton promise to defeat terrorism. But it's very difficult to stop a motivated mass murderer. Once upon a time the big threat to civilization was al-Qaeda. But today it is ISIS, alternatively known as the Islamic State, ISIL, or Daesh. Transcending their existence as actual physical entities, the names or acronyms have become metaphors for terrorist attacks, striking fear in the hearts of the people and enabling the political class in Europe and the United States to grow government in response. At the Republican National Convention, presidential candidate Donald Trump vowed to destroy ISIS—and the Democrats led by Hillary Clinton will probably follow suit. But can it ...
Haaretz for Hillary

Haaretz for Hillary by Stephen Lendman Israel’s well-known broadsheet increasingly resembles the worst of New York Times reporting. It shamelessly supports Hillary the way it backed Obama earlier, ignoring their high crimes instead of denouncing them - like it fails to condemn rogue Israeli policies, its lawless apartheid rule, its ruthless Anglo/Zionist agenda and wars at its discretion. Last March, it called Hillary “by far the best known commodity on either side of the US presidential primaries…a liberal (sic) interventionist of the old school,” adding: She’s “the only candidate (for) decapitati(ng) a dictator (sic),” meaning any independent leader ...

US Warplanes Massacre Syrian Civilians Unaccountably by Stephen Lendman Longstanding US policy has no regard for human life and welfare at home or abroad - international law flouted unaccountably, high crimes committed globally, notably in its war theaters. Syria is in the eye of the storm, US aggression continuing against a sovereign independent state, now in its sixth year with no prospects for resolution. On Friday, Damascus responded to US-led “coalition” airstrikes, killing or injuring nearly 100 civilians in the city of Manbij near Aleppo - Obama’s latest atrocity against a beleaguered people. The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) said Damascus “condemns in the ...

America: Raping and Destroying Planet Earth to Own It by Stephen Lendman Americans are the most over-entertained, least-informed people anywhere - despite minimal effort needed to access vast amounts of easily accessible credible information online and through other truth-telling sources. Ruling authorities and complicit media scoundrels take full advantage - manipulating public sentiment, substituting fiction for facts, making people believe the most ruthless regime in world history is its most benign. How when America the beautiful if pure fantasy, when bipartisan neocons run things, lunatics by any standard, selected by election rigging, serving monied interests exclusively at the ...
Rebranding US-Supported Jabhat Al-Nusra Terrorist Group

Rebranding US-Supported Jabhat Al-Nusra Terrorist Group by Stephen Lendman Virtually all significant terrorist groups ravaging the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere are US creations - its mercenary death squad army, doing America’s killing and dying for it. No moderate rebels exist, in Syria or in any other US war theater. They’re all cutthroat killers, indifferent to human life and welfare. Jabhat al-Nusra (aka Nusra Front) is Al Qaeda in Syria, renamed Jabhat Fatah al Sham, claiming “no affiliation to any external entity.” What does rebranding accomplish? Will it shield the group from Syria and Russia attacking its forces? Hopefully not. Will it change its ...

Syria’s Assad Blasts US Imperial Policies by Stephen Lendman America’s imperial agenda threatens world peace, waging forever wars in multiple theaters, setting nations ablaze, risking the world’s third global war with weapons of mass destruction. The US Peace Council is an “anti-imperialist organization committed to peace, economic and social justice and to international solidarity with the peoples of the world.” In late April, it denounced Obama’s escalation of war on Syria, wanting a client state installed serving US interests, its sovereign independent government replaced. On Thursday, a PC delegation met with Assad in Damascus, its head Henry ...
Four Reasons Why Liberation of Aleppo Would Mean an End to the Syrian War

Sputnik... As the Syrian army advances in the jihadist-ravaged city of Aleppo, Russian political analysts explain why the once-vibrant metropolis, formerly home to 2.3 million people, is of prime importance to all the parties of the conflict and can play a key role in settlement of the ongoing crisis. The first group of residents trapped in Aleppo's militant-occupied eastern neighborhoods has started to escape through a humanitarian corridor created with Russia’s help, according to reports broadcast by Al Mayadeen TV. Leaflets were dropped on Thursday over the city with instructions on how to approach checkpoints and a map showing the corridors. Men read one of the leaflets ...
PUTIN THE PRESSURE ON Russia and China to hold joint naval drills in the South China Sea as tensions escalate

The drills come weeks after a UN-backed tribunal ruled this month that China did not have historic rights to the hotly contested waters Russia is to hold joint naval exercises with China in the South China Sea in September as tensions escalate over the fiercely contested islands. China’s Defence Ministry insisted the “routine” drills were aimed at strengthening their co-operation and were not aimed at any other country. But they come at a time of heightened tensions in the region after a UN-backed tribunal ruled this month that China did not have historic rights to the waters. China rejected the ruling and refused to participate in the case. “This is a ...

Media Big Lies About ISIS Persist by Stephen Lendman Instead of explaining ISIS is a US creation, its fighters used as imperial foot soldiers doing America’s killing and dying for it, media scoundrels maintain the myth of Washington combating a scourge it supports. Without active foreign backing, ISIS and other terrorist organizations couldn’t exist. They’d wither, fade and disappear. Washington and its rogue allies continue recruiting, funding, arming, training and directing their fighters while pretending otherwise. Terrorist attacks in US and European cities attributed to ISIS are state-sponsored false flags. Major media reports about ISIS are propaganda, not truth and ...
Take Away the President's Blank Check for War

In mid-June, as the House of Representatives approved a new defense funding package, it quietly voted down an amendment to end the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that for a 15 years has given two administrations a blank check for war. That vote is hardly surprising, as Congress has long since demonstrated it lacks the political will to reassert its constitutional authority over matters of war and peace. The issues of prudence more responsible minds might raise—that the Islamic State did not exist when this AUMF was approved back in 2001, for instance, or that the document places no geographic, fiscal, or temporal limits on what this president (or the next) can do ...

Russia’s UN Envoy Blasts US Mass Murder in Syria by Stephen Lendman All US wars kill many more civilians than combatants - the ugly truth Washington wants suppressed. America considers everyone in war theaters legitimate targets while claiming otherwise. Since summer 2014, US warplanes illegally bombed Syrian and Iraqi targets on the phony pretext of combating terrorism, killing unknown numbers of civilians, hundreds, maybe thousands - all the while disingenuously claiming to go all-out to avoid so-called collateral damage. Syria and Russia condemned the most recent example of US-led “coalition” warplanes massacring civilians in northern Syria - supporting ISIS and other ...
