War Fever April 19, 2018 • 105 Comments There is a fever that seizes this land from time to time and it is the fever of war, a condition that this time seems immune to all known cures, starting with reason, as Daniel Lazare explores. By Daniel Lazare Special to Consortium News What happens when an unthinkable war meets an unbeatable case of war fever? Thanks to Russia-gate, unsubstantiated reports about the use of poison gas in Syria, and a slew of similar factoids and pseudo-scandals, the world may soon find out. In saner times, including during the Cold War at even its most heated, political leaders knew not to push a conflict with a rival nuclear power too far. After all, what ...
Tortured, Mentally Ill Guantánamo Prisoner Asks Court to Be Repatriated to Saudi Arabia

A mentally ill prisoner who U.S. officials have admitted to torturing at Guantánamo Bay will have a hearing in federal court this week that could lead to his repatriation to Saudi Arabia. Since being captured in Afghanistan by U.S. forces in 2002, Mohammed al-Qahtani has been held at the U.S. prison at Guantánamo Bay on allegations of having ties to high-ranking members of Al Qaeda. During the time he spent in U.S. custody, he was subjected to some of the most extreme forms of torture authorized by the U.S. government in the post-9/11 era. In 2009, a senior Bush administration legal official at Guantánamo decided that Qahtani could not be tried by the prison’s ...

Katie Pavlich: Schumer Only Wants To Protect Mueller for One Reason By Randy DeSoto April 18, 2018 at 4:35pm Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich dismissed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democrats’ stated reason for avoiding a “constitutional crisis” by wanting to pass legislation to protect special counsel Robert Mueller. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto the previous day he saw “no indication that Mueller’s going to be fired,” and therefore has no plans to take up such legislation on the Senate floor. “I don’t think the president’s going to do that, and just as a practical matter, even if we ...

A Conversation on Race
Post Date: 2018-04-19 16:50:54 by Ada
1 Comments
We often hear that we need a conversation on race. Considering that Americans are a brainwashed people living in a false history, such a conversation would resemble the one the Russians were expected to have with the British in regard to the Skripal poisoning: “Yes, we are guilty. We will pay reparations. Where would you like us to send Putin for trial?” In other words, the only acceptable race conversation in the US is one in which white people accept the accusation that they are racist and offer to make amends. Considering that the only slavery experienced by any living black or white person is income tax slavery, race is an issue only because it has been orchestrated as an ...

NationofChange If Americans and Europeans don’t understand the true motives and facts about the Syrian war, they will be lead into calamitous military adventures and destructive global wars in the near future. When I wrote the article about the “Most Dangerous Decade” two weeks ago, I didn’t realize that my time frame was too optimistic. What’s happening now in Syria has the potential to start WW III. Don’t believe for a second that the Syrian crisis is over after Trump’s recent bombing. There are large regions of Syria that are still held by Al Qaeda, and the overall goal of the U.S. still remains unattained. Although Americans are starting to wake ...
Durham Becomes First City in US to Ban Cops From Going to Israel for ‘Military-Style’ Training

Cops across the country routinely participate in a program in which they travel to Israel to receive training in policing tactics. To prevent the militarization of their police force, the city of Durham has banned this practice. Durham, NC — (RT) Durham City Council, North Carolina, has voted to abolish international exchanges with Israel, under which officers receive “military-style training.” The council wants to prevent the “militarization” of law enforcement. Late on Monday, after a heated debate in the city council, the members voted 6 to 0 in what one of the activist groups, Jewish Voice for Peace, described as “the first city to prohibit police ...
Why Do They Tell Us Transparent Lies?

US officials and the presstitutes tell us that the illegal US missile attack on Syria destroyed chemical weapons sites where chlorine and sarin are stored/manufactured. If this were true, would not a lethal cloud have been released that would have taken the lives of far more people than claimed in the alleged Syrian chemical attack on Douma? Would not the US missile attack be identical to a chemical weapons attack and thus place the US and its vassals in the same category as Washington is attempting to place Assad and Putin? What about it, you chemical weapons experts? Do chemical weapons only release their elements when they explode from intended use but not when they explode from being ...

The author is a prominent American social critic, blogger, and podcaster, and one of our all-time favorite pessimists. We carry his articles regularly on RI. His writing on Russia-gate has been highly entertaining. He is one of the better-known thinkers The New Yorker has dubbed 'The Dystopians' in an excellent 2009 profile, along with the brilliant Dmitry Orlov, another regular contributor to RI (archive). These theorists believe that modern society is headed for a jarring and painful crack-up. You can find his popular fiction and novels on this subject, here.

With War Looming, the Voices of Syrians Are Being Suppressed Once Again

Civilians from eastern Ghouta tell a horrifying story of starvation, withholding of food and medical aid, rape, and the imprisonment and murder of innocent women and children. Their voices are suppressed, however; for their testimonies expose the true nature of the armed opposition and the insanity of world leaders who are currently threatening a global war, supposedly on behalf of the Syrian people. GHOUTA, SYRIA (War report) — With the danger of a new artificial war in the Middle East looming, the whole world is talking about Syria. People in Damascus rejoice in the long-desired cessation of the heavy indiscriminate shelling of the capital, with the liberation of Douma, the last ...

There are some fairly good reasons in favor of Russia’s decision to intervene in Syria, which is why I have always been modestly if unenthusiastically supportive of it: It is basically a giant and continuous live training exercise for Russian pilots and generals, making it almost “free” in financial terms. The value of the Khmeimim base is modest, but not entirely negligible. It supported Russian weapons sales. Fighting Islamic State made for good PR. Could potentially be used as a bargaining chip for concessions elsewhere (e.g. the Ukraine). One commonly cited but fake reason: Supporting an ally. As I have long been pointing out, it was Vladimir Putin himself who pointed ...

International Lawyers: Strike Against Syria Would Be Illegal
Post Date: 2018-04-13 08:20:07 by Tatarewicz

Consortium... In this statement released Wednesday, a group of international law experts warn that a U.S. military strike on Syria would be illegal if not in self-defense or with U.N. Security Council authorization. We are practitioners and professors of international law. Under international law, military strikes by the United States of America and its allies against the Syrian Arab Republic, unless conducted in self-defense or with United Nations Security Council approval, are illegal and constitute acts of aggression. The unlawful killing of any human being without legal justification, under every legal system, is murder. And an act of violence committed by one government against ...

Because “war is the health of the State” I apologize for the brevity of this column: I’m getting my tri-weekly anti-cancer treatment at a hospital in San Francisco. Yet I didn’t want to leave my readers in the lurch, so here I am, trying to explain why I do what I do – because it requires some explanation. After all, why write about foreign policy at all? Why is it so important? And what does it have to do with libertarianism, the philosophy of limited government, free markets, and individual freedom? The answer is fairly simple: we can’t have an empire and a republic at the same time. It is one or the other. There is no way to limit the power of the ...

Bank of America to stop lending to some gun manufacturers in wake of Parkland massacre by Amy B Wang April 11 at 5:54 PM A craftsman holds a newly assembled AR-15 rifle in 2013 at the Stag Arms company in New Britain, Conn. (Charles Krupa/Associated Press) Bank of America will stop lending to manufacturers of “military-style firearms” that are sold for civilian use, a bank official revealed this week. Anne Finucane, a vice chairman at Bank of America, announced the plans Tuesday in an interview with Bloomberg Television, saying the bank had “intense conversations over the last few months” with its gun-manufacturer clients to let them know Bank of America would no ...

They can't be allowed to tell the real story.

How Gun Control Laws for “Mentally Ill” Could Disarm Those Who Question Authority
Post Date: 2018-04-09 08:38:25 by Ada
1 Comments
To prevent mentally ill people from owning firearms is a severe form of "ableist" discrimination, and also opens the door for nearly anyone to be classified as mentally ill. In the growing debate surrounding the natural right to self-defense, one of the most popular proposed methods of gun control has been restrictions on gun-ownership for those who are deemed to be mentally ill. This is a measure that is often suggested by liberals and conservatives alike, but it is important to stop and consider what something like this might entail. When any collective group is banned from owning a gun, they are effectively turned into second-class citizens. In the case of mental illness, ...
In Latest Humiliation For Brussels, Viktor Orban Wins Hungary Elections In Landslide Victory

In the latest embarrassment for Europe's establishment, the ostracized - by Brussels - Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán, who has waged a relentless vendetta against George Soros in the past year, just won a landslide victory in Hunary's parliamentary elections. Earlier on Sunday, 8 million Hungarians went to the polls to elect a 199-seat parliament in the 2018 general elections, which many expected would see the incumbent Prime Minister Viktor Orbán- and his right-wing Fidesz party - win his third consecutive term. And, as covered here on numerous prior occasions, Orban's campaign had been centered around anti-immigration policies, an especially sensitive topic not ...

Has been since November 2014. You can check out his after hours project Checkpoint Asia or follow it on Facebook. US military has tolerated a puny ISIS enclave inside its claimed “deconfliction zone” for 4 months now without a serious attempt to extinguish it Trump has publicly let it be known he wants to leave Syria. Moreover it has been reported that he has been privately talking up a withdrawal for months. This goes a long way towards explaining a most peculiar ...
