Obama Assumes No Blame for US Sponsored Genocide in Libya by Stephen Lendman Obama and Hillary Clinton as secretary of state bear full responsibility for raping and destroying Libyan sovereign independence - including the deaths of many tens of thousands from war, related violence, preventable or untreated diseases, deprivation and continued chaos. They committed Nuremberg-level high crimes against peace, violating international and constitutional law. US-led terror-bombing ravaged Libya from February through late October 2011. Calling naked aggression civil war mocks premeditated mass slaughter, devastation, human misery, continued violence and turmoil. Renewed US-led aggression looms ...

What Russia Accomplished in Syria by Stephen Lendman Russian intervention turned the tide of battle, preserving Syrian sovereign independence and territorial integrity - preventing its takeover by US supported ISIS and other terrorist groups. War is far from over. It continues raging. It could stay low-level for years. Nothing in prospect suggests resolution any time soon. Syrian battlefield successes are attributable to enhanced military strength and renewed spirit. A scaled-down Russian presence continues targeting terrorist elements as needed. On Tuesday, its warplanes targeted Turkish supported terrorists entering northern Syria from its territory, destroying or scattering their ...

Withdrawing Most Russian Forces From Syria Shows Putin’s Intervention Worked by Stephen Lendman Putin and Assad mutually agreed. Russian intervention changed the dynamic on the ground, seizing the initiative from Washington, foiling its imperial objective, letting Syrian forces regain lost ground. They’re advancing, ISIS and other terrorist groups retreating in disarray. Putin believes he achieved his objective “to stabilize the legitimate government and create conditions for a political compromise…by military means, of course.” On Monday, he announced the withdrawal of most Russian forces, saying: “I consider the objectives that have been set for the ...

Russia’s Military Pullback from Syria by Stephen Lendman A separate article discussed it in detail. When strategic objectives are achieved, tactics change. Putin ordered most Russian aerial assets and supportive ground personnel withdrawn from Syria, redeployed home, saying his mission was “generally accomplished,” the scourge of terrorism weakened in disarray. A Russian Defense Ministry statement said Khmeymin airbase “personnel…have started preparing (military) aircraft for performing a distance flight to home airfields in the Russian Federation.” “The personnel are loading equipment, material and technical supplies and property to the aircraft of ...

Russian president says soldiers should begin pulling out of country as military intervention has largely achieved its aims. The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has declared that he is withdrawing the majority of Russian troops from Syria, saying the intervention had largely achieved its objective. The news, relayed to the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, personally in a telephone call, followed a meeting in the Kremlin with Putin’s defence and foreign ministers. He said the pullout, reducing an intervention that began at the end of September, is due to start from Tuesday. A Western diplomatic source said: “we will have to wait and see what this represents. It is Putin. He ...

March 15 Marks the Fifth Anniversary of Obama’s War on Syria by Stephen Lendman On March 15, 44 BC (the Ides of March), Roman senators assassinated Julius Caesar. On the same date in 2011, Obama began raping the Syrian Arab Republic - a wanton act of naked aggression, mass murder and destruction, using ISIS and other terrorist groups to do his dirty work. On the eve of so-called peace talks (Geneva III), conflict rages, multiple ceasefire violations occurring daily, peace and stability as distant as ever. Chances for achieving it now is as unlikely as earlier. Syria has no legitimate peace partner. Washington and its rogue allies want war, Assad replaced by puppet governance, ...

Sheriff Clarke Just Dropped Brutal Truth Bomb About Obama and His ‘Reign of Terror’ Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke told interviewers at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that he couldn’t wait until President Obama’s “reign of terror” was over. Responding to a question about how Obama was elected to fix race relations but the country is now more divided than ever and what could the next president do to change that, Clarke said, “He did it on purpose. He never had any intention of bringing people together. He had the opportunity to do that.” “I think a lot of people, including me, were hopeful that he would take ...

ISIS Uses Chemical Weapons on Iraqi Civilians by Stephen Lendman ISIS recruits were taught use of chemical weapons and other death squad tactics by CIA operatives in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan. They’re likely able to produce CWs on their own, used as terror weapons in or near areas they control. Saturday’s attack killed a three-year-old girl, injured 600 others in Taza, near Kirkuk in northern Iraq. A local official said there’s “fear and panic among the women and children. They’re calling for the government to save them.” A local nurse said victims suffer from infected burns, suffocation and dehydration. ISIS is known to use toxic sarin, ...

Unwanted Refugees Face Nightmarish Conditions in Europe by Stephen Lendman Washington and its rogue allies bear full responsibility for the severest refugee crisis since WW II. Thousands daily flee war-torn Syria and other nations, victimized by US-led aggression - unwanted in Europe after enduring hazardous journeys, leaving their homelands in a desperate effort to survive, treated with disdain, indifference and harshness on arrival. The shocking image of a mother washing her newborn baby using muddied water on the Greek/Macedonian border highlights deplorable conditions getting worse with thousands of new arrivals daily. Essentials to life are in short supply or unavailable. An ...

Irreconcilable Differences Ahead of Syrian Peace Talks by Stephen Lendman US supported terrorist groups, representing the so-called opposition, have unacceptable preconditions going into talks this week. They want Assad out, puppet governance installed, and Syria partitioned into mini-states (John Kerry’s so-called Plan B) - advocating federalized local autonomy as a first step. During a Saturday press conference in Damascus, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said his country’s delegation will participate in talks scheduled to begin Monday. It “will not repeat the same mistake that happened in the previous round. They are going to wait 24 hours only” - then ...

Washington and Israel Want the Middle East Map Redrawn by Stephen Lendman Century ago Sykes-Picot was the last attempt to redraw the region, implementation following WW I. Israel’s 1948 creation was the major post-WW II change. Britain, France and Russia were involved during WW I, defining their spheres of influence, deciding on how to carve up the fading Ottoman empire after its collapse. After the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, Russian claims were denied. Western hostility persists. A new cold war replaced the old one. Regime change remains longstanding US policy, war the strategy of choice to achieve its global imperial objectives. Syria is in the eye of the storm. Five years of ...

Washington Wants War, not Peace, in Syria Stephen Lendman So called cessation of hostilities and upcoming peace talks on resolving Syria’s conflict belie Washington’s rage for war and regime change. Peace and stability are anathema to America’s regional objectives. Endless war serves them. Obama is no peacemaker. He continues bombing seven countries illegally, way exceeding the worst of George Bush - including Afghanistan and Pakistan (AfPak), Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. Murder by drone is official US policy, killing few so-called high-profile targets, overwhelmingly affecting noncombatant civilians, the latest atrocity in Somalia. On March 8, drones and ...

The two top executives of the Wounded Warrior Project — among the largest veterans charities in the country — were fired Thursday after an investigation into accusations of lavish spending on parties, hotel and travel, CBS News reported. ADVERTISEMENT Wounded Warrior Project's CEO, Steven Nardizzi, and COO, Al Giordano, were fired by the charity's board amid criticisms about how it spends more than $800 million raised in donations in the past four years, CBS News reported. The charity's board of directors made their decision after a meeting in New York City, where they received preliminary results of a financial and policy audit, sources told CBS News. The charity ...

US Supported Terrorists Using Chemical Weapons in Syria by Stephen Lendman Terrorists don’t observe ceasefires or rule of law principles. Conflict rages ahead of farcical peace talks scheduled for next week - after numerous postponements and uncertainty if they’ll begin at all. On Wednesday, Kurdish YPG spokesman Redur Xelilm issued a statement, saying “(t)he Sheikh Maqsoud district in Aleppo was attacked with chemical weapons on Tuesday evening.” “Radical groups launched dozens of rockets filled with yellow phosphorus element.” More on the toxic agent below. Kurdish forces blamed a coalition of US/Turkish/Saudi-backed terrorist groups, including Ahrar ...

Turkish Border Guards Murdering Syrian Refugees at Crossing Points by Stephen Lendman Turkey’s refugee policy includes cold-blooded murder, ignored by its officials and EU ones in Brussels on Monday. Human life and welfare weren’t topics discussed. Focus was on using Turkey as a refugee dumping ground, bribing Ankara with enough sweeteners to go along, details still being worked out, a framework deal agreed on. In late 2014, Amnesty International (AI) reported instances of Turkish border guards lethally shooting Syrian refugees at crossing points - citing 17 cases it documented from December 2013 to August 2014. Many others were beaten or otherwise mistreated, denied entry, ...

Farcical Upcoming Syria Peace Talks by Stephen Lendman They’re repeatedly delayed, UN envoy Bashar al-Jaafari to head Syria’s delegation. It’s unknown who’ll represent opposition groups, if they’ll show up or when. US/Saudi-backed so-called High Negotiations Committee (HNC) terrorist groups are involved - maintaining unacceptable preconditions, dooming talks before they begin. Scheduled for late January, they never got started, were suspended on February 3, rescheduled for March 7, delayed until March 9, now pushed back to March 14. Whether they’ll begin at all is anyone’s guess. Most important is the futility of talks with terrorists committed to ...

EU Wants Turkey to Be a Refugee Dumping Ground by Stephen Lendman EU nations, Turkey and other rogue states complicit with Washington are responsible for the severest refugee crisis since WW II. Endless wars of aggression forced millions of desperate people to flee for safe havens internally or abroad. Over a million refugees sought refuge in Europe last year. Thousands more arrive daily, undeterred by winter cold and hazardous journeys. Unknown numbers never arrive, perishing en route. Those making it aren’t wanted, confined under squalid conditions, a previous article saying they’re treated like nonpersons, met with scorn, barbed wire fences and other barriers on arrival, ...

Deranged NATO Commander Philip Breedlove by Stephen Lendman He’s a real-life general Jack D. Ripper - Stanley Kubrick’s deranged character from his dark satire, titled “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.” The film ends ominously with nuclear detonations. If Breedlove gets his way, life-on-earth-ending nuclear war with Russia could happen. He’s a menacingly anti-Russian psychopath with his finger on the nuclear trigger in Europe, maybe itching to squeeze it. He rails about nonexistent Russian aggression, urges greater militarization of Europe to confront what he calls “an adversary…pos(ing) a longterm existential ...

IN AN EARLY SCENE from the HBO documentary Homegrown, an FBI agent describes his angst while tracking a teenager’s engagement in the online jihadi world. “You almost want to pick up the phone and say, ‘Son, don’t do this,’” the agent reflects. The teenager in question was Shifa Sadequee, a 19-year-old who was arrested on terrorism charges in 2006. Following a 2009 trial in which Sadequee represented himself, he was sentenced to 17 years in prison plus an additional 30 years of supervision. The ethical issues involved in preventive counterterrorism cases like Sadequee’s are the theme behind much of Homegrown. Following 9/11, law enforcement agencies were ...

Hollow Papal Shock Over Nuns and Others Killed in Yemen by Stephen Lendman On Friday, likely US/Saudi-backed ISIS fighters attacked a retirement home in Aden, Yemen, killing four nuns and a dozen others - a ruthless act of terror. ISIS claimed responsibility for other Aden attacks, including a suicide bombing killing the city’s governor. Other area officials were assassinated. No group claimed responsibility for Friday’s attack. US/Saudi-backed ISIS fighters had motive and opportunity. They reign terror on defenseless civilians wherever they’re located. On Saturday, Pope Francis through Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin expressed shock and profound sadness. He ...

Conflict Rages During Syrian Ceasefire by Stephen Lendman While John Kerry talks ceasefire and peace with Sergey Lavrov, Washington keeps supporting ISIS and other terrorist groups in Syria, across the Middle East and elsewhere. The charade of Obama the peacemaker continues. If he wanted peace, why did he launch war in March 2011? Why does he continue war on Iraq, supporting ISIS and other terrorists? Why endless war in Afghanistan? Why did he rape and destroy Libya? Why did he replace democrats with Nazi-infested fascists in Ukraine? Whey does he support their war on Donbass freedom fighters resisting tyranny heroically? Why does he supply Israel with billions of dollars in annual ...

John Kerry Wants Hollywood Producing (Phony) US War on ISIS Films by Stephen Lendman Daily Variety/Hollywood Reporter David Robb's book discussed Hollywood's longstanding relationship with the Pentagon. Its complicity is notorious. It began post-WW I, producing silent films. Franklin Roosevelt’s Office of War Information had enormous influence on Hollywood. Administration censors controlled everything from scriptwriting to casting to production. Studio bosses were well compensated for collusion. Robb said the only thing they like better than good films are good deals. They support Washington’s war machine. Most of all they prioritize profits. A Pentagon Film Liaison ...

ISIS Recruits and Trains Children to Be Killers by Stephen Lendman ISIS is a US creation. A previous article discussed its use of children as suicide bombers. It explained CIA operatives teach ISIS recruits the fine art of committing atrocities, including beheadings, use of chemical and other banned weapons, along with an array of other lawless terror tactics. A London-based Quilliam counterterrorism think tank report explained how ISIS recruits young children, brainwashes and trains them for jihad. London’s Guardian discussed its findings, saying “(a) new generation of Isis recruits is being developed in the Islamic State’s ‘caliphate,’ indoctrinated with ...

More Evidence of Turkey Supporting Terrorists in Syria by Stephen Lendman Allied with Washington’s imperial agenda, serving its own unfulfilled aims for control over northern Syria, Turkey affords ISIS and other terrorist groups safe haven on its territory. It sells stolen ISIS oil, Erdogan, his family and other top regime officials profiting hugely. Armaments and other material support are steadily supplied. An RT International film crew witnessed Turkish vehicles crossing into Syrian territory near Azaz, partly controlled by Jabhat al-Nusra. Its correspondent Lizzie Phelan reported exclusively from dangerously close to the front lines, traveling with Kurdish YPG fighters, ...
