Clinton at War with Islam She Claims She Won’t Demonize by Stephen Lendman As first lady, US senator and secretary of state, Clinton waged unrestrained war on Islam, a ruthless agenda she’ll likely escalate if elected to succeed Obama. In the 1990s, she supported husband Bill’s intermittent war and genocidal sanctions on Iraq, killing around 500,000 children, about 5,000 under aged five monthly; As US senator, she backed George W. Bush’s naked aggression on Afghanistan and Iraq, causing millions of deaths. As secretary of state, she bore full responsibility for war on Libya, responsible for ravaging and destroying Africa’s most developed country, turning it ...
Before Nightclub Shooting, FBI Pursued Questionable Florida “Terror” Suspects

The attack on a gay club in Orlando in which 50 people were killed and more than 50 wounded — now the largest mass shooting in U.S. history — demonstrates how potential threats are escaping the FBI’s vast counterterrorism dragnet. While it’s unclear whether gunman Omar Mateen’s inspiration was hatred of gays, the Islamic State, or something else, attackers like him are the intended targets of the FBI’s post-9/11 prevention program. Federal law enforcement’s top priority today is to stop the attacker of tomorrow. But Mateen’s mass shooting is an example of how dangerous men slip past the FBI’s watch while federal agents focus on targets of ...
The Orlando Horror

Terrorism is a reality – but endless war is not the answer As I write this (it’s Sunday morning, 5:00 a.m. PST) the news is breaking that an Orlando gay nightclub has been attacked by a gun-wielding 29-year-old son of Afghan immigrants, Omar Mateen, who appeared to “’have leanings towards’ radical Islamist ideology,” according to the FBI.” At least twenty people are dead, and forty-two are wounded. Mateen died in a gun battle with police. One can easily imagine what will be – and already is – happening in the wake of this horrific tragedy: the War Party will be quick to jump on this as proof that we must go abroad in search of monsters to ...
Endless US Dirty War Haunts Syrians

Endless US Dirty War Haunts Syrians by Stephen Lendman Washington’s claim about wanting war in Syria resolved diplomatically is pretense. Russia continues fruitless bilateral talks while US support for ISIS and other terrorist groups continues. Endless war ravages Syria, US-orchestrated slow-motion genocide, initiated by Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, a neocon monster masquerading as a woman. On Saturday, Syria’s Foreign Ministry accused Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar of supporting state terror, responsible for massacring civilians, providing imported death squads with military and financial aid. Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Turkish ...

AL-RAQQA: (June 8, 2016) The Syrian Army is 50 kms from Al-Raqqa after it annihilated all ISIS positions around the village of Al-Rusaafa. The SAA and PDC destroyed a van carrying weapons and medical supplies to the terrorists. Both the driver and his passenger were identified as a Bangla-Deshi and an Iraqi, respectively. In the air, the story was even more sanguine. The SAAF and RuAF conducted multiple sorties over positions once held by ISIS and pulverized 11 armored vehicles and an estimated 20 pickups with 23mm and 14.5mm cannons. One of the most disastrous days in the life of the rat gang called ISIS. (June 10, 2016) At the Al-Rusaafa Crossing, the Syrian Army has retaken 2 oil ...

PressTV... Russia says Turkey’s military advisers are commanding Daesh terrorists operating around Syria’s northwestern city of Aleppo, which has been the scene of fierce fighting over the past few weeks. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters on Friday that up to 2,000 militants are taking part in the Aleppo battle based on mass media reports. “Journalists say Turkey’s military advisers are commanding them,” she said. An intensive traffic of trucks accompanied with armed guards was spotted in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib while “carrying weapons and ammunition” from Turkey, Zakharova added. “This looks like ...

PravdaMainForum... m.sputniknews...ial-forces.html On Thursday, French defense ministry officials confirmed the deployment of French special forces in northern Syria with the announced purpose of advising Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the recapturing the city of Manbij from Daesh; however Russian military experts told the Russian media what might really be behind the move. "The offensive at Manbij is clearly being backed by a certain number of states including France. It's the usual support it's advisory," AFP quoted one French defense ministry official as saying, without giving further details on the deployment. The official especially stressed that French special ...

Obama Escalates Afghan War by Stephen Lendman Disturbing but true! Nearly 15 years of US naked aggression on Afghanistan aren’t enough, America’s longest war, raging endlessly. Obama authorized escalated US involvement - on the phony pretext of aiding Afghan forces. How far he intends going remains to be seen, waging wars in multiple theaters - endless conflicts, trillions of dollars diverted from vital homeland needs. An unnamed senior US defense official said airstrikes will be escalated - stopping short of explaining the Afghan war was lost years ago, a grand illusion believing otherwise. Nothing initiated now will change things. Will more US ground forces be put in ...

Pentagon Hypes Nonexistent Russian Threat by Stephen Lendman Today is the worst of times. Reckless US fear-mongering persists. No Russian threat exists. Claims otherwise are fabricated - a hoax proliferated by irresponsible media scoundrels, paid to lie, trashing journalistic ethics. Putin gets no credit for being the world’s preeminent peacemaker - polar opposite Obama, Hillary Clinton and other neocons infesting Washington. US Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia Michael Carpenter hyped fear irresponsibly, ludicrously suggesting Russia can overrun Baltic states Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia in 60 hours. He cited a months earlier RAND Corporation ...

War Party Leader Obama Endorses War Goddess Clinton by Stephen Lendman Obama, Clinton and bipartisan neocons infesting Washington explain the deplorable state of America today - a democracy in name only, enriching the privileged few at the expense of most others, waging endless wars on humanity, leaving its fate up for grabs. Clinton was chosen Democrat party nominee last year before primary/caucus season began, assuring endless wars of aggression if elected, perhaps the madness of confronting Russia and China belligerently. The possibility of her succeeding Obama should terrify everyone, heightening the risk of global war with super-weapons making WW II ones look like toys by ...

SyrianPerspective... Syrian Defense Minister, Lt. Gen. Fahd Jaassim Al-Furayj with his Iranian counterpart, Gen. Hossein Dehqaan, are meeting with the Russian Defense Minister, Gen. Sergei Shoigu in Tehran to put the final touches on the plan to overwhelm the terrorists and their Zionist-NATO-Saudi sponsors. The war in Syria to oust president Assad has taken an ugly turn for the sponsors of international criminality. The good doctor did not go gently into that good night. Dr. Assad persevered amidst a concerted propaganda war of unprecedented levels of cacophonic hysteria modulated by cunning. From the New York Times to the Washington Post to the BBC to Le Monde to Der Spiegel to the ...

US Waging Naked Aggression on Syria, Draws UN Praise by Stephen Lendman Syria’s war isn’t civil as widely misreported. It’s Obama’s war, naked aggression, launched in March 2011 using ISIS and likeminded groups - supported by US air power and special forces, waging phony war on terrorism. Since last September, Russia alone among world powers has been waging real war on its scourge in Syria, wanting it defeated, kept from spreading - regionally and to the Russian Federation’s heartland. Moscow’s main adversaries aren’t ISIS and other terrorist groups. They’re America, NATO and regional rogue states, backing the scourge they claim to oppose - ...

Provocative NATO War Games in Poland by Stephen Lendman US-dominated NATO is currently holding its largest war games since Soviet Russia dissolved in 1991 - provocative exercises in Poland, America on a slippery slope toward direct confrontation with Russia, pushing the envelope toward possible nuclear war. So-called Anaconda 16 continues for 10 days through mid-June, involving over 30,000 combat troops from 24 NATO states and partners - led, of course, by America with nearly half the force contingent, continuing to prove it’s the greatest threat to world peace and humanity’s survival. Russia threatens no one, Putin the world’s preeminent peacemaker. US-led NATO exercises ...

The recent advances of Al Nusra and Ahram al-Sham in the Sheikh Maqsoud district and the Jaish al-Fatah operation room, which also includes Al Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham, near the village of Khan Touman, have almost scrubbed any initiatives to set a ceasefire regime in the Aleppo city and nearby areas, showcasing that rhetoric about bad humanitarian conditions and the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan are a merely part of the ongoing PR-war against the Assad government and its allies. The strategic goal is prevent the advances of pro-government troops and operations of the Russian aerospace forces in the Aleppo city and in Northern Syria, in general. The only answer to this challenge ...

SyriaPerspective... The Syrian Army has shocked the United States and its simian allies by pushing an offensive which aims to steal away any opportunities for the United States to occupy fully developed airbases in the east. I am talking about both the Jiraah Base and the Tabqa Airbase. It is all too evident that the Syrian Army, the PDC (NDF), and all other allied forces are moving in a pincer action: one from the northwest and one from the southwest. With Russian aircraft flying cover with increasing frequency, the U.S. has no choice but watch as its favorite terrorist group begins to constrict and withdraw to its de facto capital at Al-Raqqa City. The Saudis are reportedly livid over ...

Assad Deserves Universal Support Against US-Sponsored Terrorism by Stephen Lendman Syria is Obama’s war, launched with imported terrorist foot soldiers to gain America another imperial trophy - while eliminating an Israeli rival and diminishing Russia’s regional influence. Protecting Syria’s sovereign independence is crucial. If it goes, Iran is isolated. Its turn awaits. It’s forthrightly aiding its Syrian ally, US imperialism their enemy, humanity’s scourge. America is the greatest threat to world peace, stability and security. Addressing Syrian parliamentarians on Tuesday, Assad vowed to continue combating terrorism, an entire nation and its people at stake. ...

Russia Intends Preventing Terrorists from Seizing Syrian Territory by Stephen Lendman Syria’s fate depends on Russia’s willingness to support its ground forces with effective, sustained aerial operations - escalating them to defeat the scourge of US-backed terrorism. Half-way measures won’t work against imperial America, fully committed to replacing Syrian sovereignty with Western-controlled tyranny. On June 6, Sergey Lavrov said Washington was warned in advance. Russia intends “providing air support to the Syrian army to prevent territories from being seized by terrorists.” Secret US-led plans made “behind our back” won’t be tolerated. “We ...

A Russian ceasefire monitoring center in Syria says more than 2,000 militants have gathered in a northern neighborhood of the embattled city of Aleppo. In a statement, the center said Saturday that "militants from different terrorist organizations and groups of the so-called 'moderate opposition' are concentrated in the region of Sheikh Maqsood.” Quoting civilians in Aleppo, the center said armed groups, partly made up of Turkish soldiers, had appeared north of the city and begun an offensive against positions held by Syrian troops southwest of Aleppo. An official with the monitoring base said more than 40 people were killed and about a hundred injured in a shelling by ...

Disturbing Reality in Syria by Stephen Lendman Endless war continues with no prospect for peace because Washington rejects it - wanting overwhelmingly popular Bashar al-Assad forcibly ousted, knowing he won’t step down voluntarily nor should he. International law supports him. Syrians alone may decide who’ll lead them, free from foreign interference. All armed opposition groups in Syria engaged in combat against government forces along with slaughtering defenseless civilians are terrorists. Washington and its rogue allies support them - imported death squads unable to exist without foreign backing. No so-called “moderate rebels” exist. Speaking last October at the ...

Most European Nations Act More Like US Colonies Than Sovereign States by Stephen Lendman Instead of declaring their independence, most European nations let Washington pressure, bully and bribe them to go along with its imperial agenda, harming their own national security. Economic powerhouse Germany remains occupied since WW II ended, permitting numerous US bases on its territory, some jointly operated, harming its security, not protecting it. Instead of normalizing relations with Russia, a reliable ally, Die Welt newspaper said a new Defense Ministry White Paper near completion lists it as one of Germany’s 10 major threats, despite no credible evidence suggesting it - plenty ...

We really don’t know who to blame the most for rolling over on all of these phony terror wars. Most of them are run by Intelligence agencies or the contracting companies working for them.

Syrian Perspective... radioyaran Race to Raqqa or any offensive efforts in Deir al Zour are waste of time when JaF is destroying several tanks and artillery pieces and killing dozens of loyalists every day in South Aleppo. Zara, Khan Touman, Handarat, one defeat more embarassing than the other. Even massive reinforcements and RuAF turned useless. Rebels are TOWing loyalists into demise with the latter having absolutely no clue from where they are fired on. Rebels convincingly videotape and dronetape their gains proving their smart tactics and battlefield efficiency while the loyalists who claim to liberate major cities are not even able to protect their supply roads or even take back small ...

Russia Fiddles While Syria Burns by Stephen Lendman Make no mistake. Putin’s strategic intervention in Syria last September was a bold, vital step. He deserves credit and praise for taking it. Things changed dramatically on the ground. Reinvigorated government forces retook large swaths of earlier lost territory, freeing them from the scourge of US-sponsored terrorism. At the same time, Russia’s all-out efforts for ceasefire and conflict resolution peace talks failed. On the one hand, the alternative is endless war. On the other, the only language America understands is force. Moscow’s genuine diplomatic efforts can’t succeed because it has no peace partner in ...

In April, he wrote an open letter to President Obama detailing his reasons for leaving the U.S. Army Reserves, citing his opposition to the administration’s use of drone strikes, its policy on nuclear proliferation, and what he calls the executive branch’s claim of ...

Defense Secretary Carter’s Bullying Remarks by Stephen Lendman Hawkish lunatics run America. On Friday, addressing the Shangri-La Dialogue forum in Singapore, Carter claimed America is “the primary security provider in the Asia Pacific” - warning China of what he called is its “expansive and unprecedented actions” in the South China Sea. He pushed for an Asian “principled security network” to counter “Russia’s worrying actions” and Beijing’s regional activities. He belligerently saber-rattled, saying “the the United States will remain the most powerful military and main underwriter of security in the region for decades to come ...
