Russia Admits Ceasefire Let Terrorists Regroup and Rearm in Syria by Stephen Lendman Russian General Sergey Rudskoy mentioned Jabhat al-Nusra alone. All US-supported terrorist groups took advantage of ceasefire to strengthen their positions, including ISIS and members of Riyadh’s so-called High Negotiations Committee - terrorists masquerading as diplomats, committed to Syria’s destruction and Assad’s ouster. According to Rudskoy, Aleppo and Idlib provinces bordering Turkey are key hot spots where groups like Jabhat al-Nusra are entrenched for endless war. Russia said beginning on May 25, it “reserve(s) the right to conduct unilateral strikes…on… ...
Deconstructing Obama's Demagoguery in Hiroshima

Deconstructing Obama’s Demagoguery in Hiroshima by Stephen Lendman His speeches make painful listening - a litany of deception, Big Lies, and for Hiroshima and Nagasaki victims and survivors, continued coverup of one of history’s great crimes - massacring civilians gratuitously. Obama saying “(w)e come to mourn the dead” ignores US responsibility for mass murder and endless wars of aggression - notably post-9/11. Saying “(w)e stand here in the middle of this city (and) force ourselves to feel the dread of children…listen to a silent cry…remember all the innocents killed” in global wars, especially WW II, begs the question of why America ...

Obama in Hiroshima by Stephen Lendman Obama is the first US sitting president to visit Hiroshima. He came to flex US muscle in a part of the world not its own, not apologize for gratuitous mass murder. The war was over. Japan was negotiating surrender. America used nuclear weapons against a defeated enemy, showing its meanness, incinerating defenseless civilians - a taste of greater viciousness to come, its endless wars of aggression, its contempt for peace, democratic values and international law. Asked if he’d apologize for one of history’s great crimes, he said: “No, because I think that it's important to recognize that in the midst of war, leaders make all kinds ...
No Prospects for Peace in Syria

No Prospects for Peace in Syria by Stephen Lendman Obama’s war continues, hundreds of US special forces and marines involved in combat, directly aiding terrorists in northern Syria. Claiming they’re advising and assisting (nonexistent) moderate rebels is pure rubbish. Obama wants Assad forcibly ousted before he leaves office. Maybe he intends US-led NATO bombing. Peace talks begun in early February were dead on arrival, now indefinitely suspended. On Thursday, pro-Western UN special envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, told Security Council members during a closed session that progress toward so far unattainable ceasefire must be achieved before resuming them. Talks can ...
ZIONIST AND SAUDI SAVAGES BEHIND EXPLOSIONS ON COAST; RESISTANCE FIGHTERS TO SKIN SAUDI AMBASSADOR ALIVE IN BEIRUT

Syrian Perspective... The explosions on the coast don’t have SyrPer the least bit concerned because they are indicative of the kind of mentality which is drenched in failure, frustration and desperation. My source, Wael, in Latakia Province has confirmed that 85% of the casualties caused by the multiple explosions were Sunni Muslims, who, evidently, did not revolt against the government, nor did they side with the Arabian cockroaches or the inbred Zionist Ghetto grubs, and, ergo, deserved the freak show terrorism on display in Jabla City and Tartous City. What the rodents of Arabia did not know was that the Russian military intelligence directorate was overhearing conversations ...

West Hails Release of Ukrainian Killer by Stephen Lendman Ukrainian pilot Nadezhda Savchenko involved with the infamous Nazi-infested Aidar battalion is an unapologetic killer. Last March, she was convicted in a Russian court on multiple charges, including murdering two Russian journalists in Donbass - Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin. In June 2014, she sent coordinates of their location to an Aidar artillery unit. The attack on their position killed them along with Ukrainian civilians. On March 22, RT International’s Murad Gazdiev twittered “(t)he court has no doubts about #Savchenko’s guilt on all counts.” Russia’s Investigative Committee collected reliable ...

NYT: Imperial Press Agent by Stephen Lendman Times propaganda supports America’s imperial agenda, its Syria coverage some of the worst in memory. Managed news misinformation and Big Lies consistently substitute for reliable news and information readers need to know. The Times perpetuates the myth of America’s war on terrorism, its phony intention to degrade and destroy ISIS - the monster it created and supports along with other terrorist groups used as imperial foot soldiers. Instead of debunking official Big Lies, The Times proliferates them - its latest propaganda piece claiming US airstrikes “are hitting more significant ISIS targets” when no reliable information ...

RT... Russia will postpone airstrikes against militants in Syria, after being asked by several militant groups that are willing to join the ceasefire. The groups say they need time to drive Al-Nusra from their territories. The Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria has received around 10 messages from the leaders of armed groups in Syria in a number of different provinces asking not to start airstrikes, according to Defense Ministry spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov.

Amnesty International Misreporting on Obama’s War on Syria by Stephen Lendman At various times throughout years of US-launched aggression on Syria, using terrorists as proxy foot soldiers, Amnesty International (AI) pointed fingers the wrong way. Last December, without justification, it turned truth on its head, claiming “Russian air strikes in Syria have killed hundreds of civilians and caused massive destruction in residential areas, striking homes, a mosque and a busy market, as well as medical facilities, in a pattern of attacks that show evidence of violations of international humanitarian law.” It irresponsibly blamed Moscow for high crimes committed by imported ...

US Obstructs Raqqa Liberation Campaign by Stephen Lendman Days earlier, US CENTCOM commanding General Joseph Votel secretly visited Syria. He met with Kurdish fighters and terrorist groups to coordinate strategy on preventing government forces from retaking ISIS stronghold Raqqa. According to retired Syrian Col. Elias Ebrahim, operations to liberate Raqqa were obstructed to save ISIS fighters from being routed, wanting them preserved for future US-planned attacks. The main reason Washington touts a political solution is to avoid joint US/Russian anti-terrorism operations. America’s demanded political transition is code language for regime change. Assad got a choice. Step down ...

Newly-released satellite images show huge devastation at the strategic Tiyas airbase (T4) in central Syria. The images were published by the BBC, which had obtained them from the US geopolitical intelligence company Stratfor. According to analysts who examined the images, 4 Russian combat helicopters and some 20 supply trucks have been completely destroyed inside the airbase, which has been extensively used by the Russian Air Force, especially when liberating the ancient city of Palmyra. On May 10, ISIS shelled the Tiyas airbase with artillery and rocket launchers after controlling the deserted battalion nearly 8 km to the northwest of the airbase. ...

Known Terrorist Visited Washington by Stephen Lendman Ahrar al-Sham operates like ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra. The latter two are Security Council designated terrorist groups. America, Britain and France blocked Ahrah al-Sham’s inclusion, providing the group with direct support along with likeminded regional ones. On May 21, McClatchy DC headlined senior “Syrian rebel whose group is linked to al Qaida visited US,” saying he was granted permission to come, “raising questions” about the Obama administration’s choice of regional partners - and credibility for letting a known terrorist visit Washington. Labib al Nahhas calls himself Ahrar al Sham’s foreign ...

SyrianPerspective...ALEPPO: Near Manbij: Syrian Security agents monitored a strange looking caravan coming out of the A’zaaz area for many hours. They knew from the license plates on the 8 trucks that they belonged to a company called Al-Yamaan Medical Supply Co., a business housed in Istanbul but established by rodents with close ties to Bandar bin Sultaan and ‘Uqaab Saqr and their entourage of vermin from Saudi Arabia. The actual front is presided over by one ‘Abdul-Rahmaan Kanju, an offspring of a family notorious for its hatred of minorities. They are also notorious for rampant ignorance and stupidity. The trucks were halted 25 kms west of Manbij as they tried to take a ...

General Votel visited several sites where U.S. Army personnel are training Syrian Arab fighters from from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in northern Syria. Accompanied by a small group of reporters, General Votel’s whereabouts were kept secret due to security reasons; however, he did issue a public statement. “I have responsibility for this mission, and I have responsibility for the people that we put here,” Army Gen. Joseph Votel said in an interview as dusk fell on the remote outpost where he had ...
What Difference Does it Make to Kill Akhtar Mansour and Why?

The Pentagon thinks it’s killed a Taliban official (Akhtar Mansour) by drone. But what difference does it make to us to kill this man (meaning a positive difference, a gain, a benefit)? Whether or not some outfit in Pakistan applauds this or hates it, what difference does it make to Americans? Why is the U.S. still trying to kill off Taliban or stop them? Why is the U.S. still in Afghanistan 15 years after it went there to get bin Laden? Why did the U.S. start a war with the Taliban anyway? The humongous cost of this killing is already $700 billion. When other costs are factored in, the cost will be 2 or 3 times that, or about $2 trillion. For what? What did we get out of it? What are ...

CENTCOM Commander Plots Escalated War in Syria by Stephen Lendman Obama waged war on Syria for regime change. Washington tolerates no sovereign independent countries. Longstanding plans call for replacing them all with US vassal states, stealing their resources, exploiting their people. So-called cessation of hostilities and peace talks in Syria represent willful deception, orchestrated to fail, not succeed. America intends ousting legitimate/overwhelmingly popular Bashar al-Assad forcefully. Together with rogue NATO and regional allies, it continues arming, training, funding and directing ISIS and other terrorist groups. US and allied combat troops together with CIA agents and hired ...

Obama in Hanoi Targets China by Stephen Lendman At a Monday joint press conference with Vietnam’s President Tran Dai Quang in Hanoi, Obama announced the full lifting of a 50-year-old arms embargo, saying: “The United States is fully lifting the ban on the sale of military equipment to Vietnam…” In 2014, the embargo was partly lifted. Hanoi hasn’t bought US weapons. It wants restrictions entirely removed to more fully normalize relations. Obama said decisions on weapons sales will be made on a case-by-case basis. China’s state news agency Xinhua commented, saying: “Efforts for the improvement of U.S.-Vietnam ties should be driven by common pursuit to ...

Obama Visiting Scenes of US High Crimes in Asia by Stephen Lendman On Saturday, he left Washington on a weeklong visit to Vietnam and Japan, part of his Asia pivot strategy, challenging China where America doesn’t belong. On Monday, he’ll meet with Vietnamese officials in Hanoi, discuss trade and other bilateral relations, deliver a demagogic address, while ignoring devastating US Southeast Asia bombing, its use of Agent Orange and other banned terror weapons, killing up to four million, mostly civilians - genocide by any standard. Vietnamese can’t ever forgive or forget, still suffering from US aggression - part of their post-WW II 30-year liberating war, ending with ...

Washington Rejects Joint US/Russian Coalition Against Terrorists by Stephen Lendman A previous article explained Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu’s proposal for US/Russian joint operations against ISIS, Jabhat al-Nusra and other terrorists in Syria not supporting ceasefire - as well as on convoys from Turkey supplying them with arms and munitions. If America spurns unity against a universal scourge, Shoigu said Russia intends operating unilaterally against armed groups continuing to wage war on Syria and its people. Surprising no one, Washington rejected Moscow’s offer, Pentagon spokesman Navy Captain Jeff Davis, saying America’s military doesn’t “collaborate or ...

Kerry’s Claim About Progress Toward Peace in Syria Belies Reality on the Ground by Stephen Lendman Now in its 6th year, Obama’s war on Syria remains committed to its main goal - transforming the nation into another US vassal state, partitioning it, stealing its resources, exploiting its people. Days earlier, Kerry’s claim about “mov(ing) the ball forward (toward) a comprehensive ceasefire” is utter rubbish. Little on the ground changed. Things are dangerously close to escalated war. US-supported terrorists continue moving freely from Turkey into Syria on a virtual daily basis. Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said Ankara’s support contributes greatly ...

NATO Foreign Ministers Agree on Permanent Occupation of Afghanistan by Stephen Lendman Endless US-led naked aggression and occupation of Afghanistan continues - coming up on 15 years this October. The 9/11 mother of all false flags was used as a phony pretext to attack a nonbelligerent country threatening no others. Candidate Obama pledged he’d remove all US troops from the country straightaway if elected. They remain, part of endless US war and occupation. Taliban fighters control more territory than in 2001, over half the country, US proxy Afghan forces ineffective against them, the US installed regime deeply corrupted. US imperialism destroyed the country, killed millions and ...

Syrian Perspective... DAMASCUS: The terrorists of Nusra/Alqaeda and ‘Alloosh’s Jaysh Al-Islam went poof a lot faster than anyone had thought. Imagine the terror in the rodent brains of the savages as they found themselves constantly battered by artillery, followed by sudden infantry penetrations once perimeters were compromised, and imagine the feeling of a bayonet or a field knife coldly separating your ribs from another. And, then, if you managed to avoid this outcome, you run as fast as you can, by night, past SAA and HZB positions in order to make it to the outskirts of Harastaa where you might still manage to break the lines at Al-Nishaabiyya, which, by the way, is the last ...

Why would Washington bomb terrorists it invested so much into recruiting, arming, funding, training and directing - wanting endless war continued to depose Assad, polar opposite Russia’s all-out efforts for diplomatic conflict resolution. Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said US/Russian joint operations against terrorists in Syria would enhance prospects for peace. He suggested beginning them on May 25 against ISIS, Jabhat al- Nusra and other groups not supporting ceasefire - ...

General Advising Donald Trump Says Killing Terrorists’ Families Might Be OK A top military adviser to Donald Trump expressed qualified support for Trump’s proposal to kill terrorists’ families on Thursday, telling Al Jazeera that it would depend on the “circumstances of the situation.” The statement from Gen. Michael Flynn, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency from 2012 to 2014, reignited a debate about whether the military in a Trump presidency could be counted on to refuse blatantly illegal orders. CIA directors past and present have asserted that Trump’s proposal to bring back torture methods “a hell of a lot worse than ...
