Washington Threatens Damascus
Stephen Lendman
Obama’s aim in launching war on Syria in March 2011 remains unchanged - regime change to transform its sovereign independence into another US vassal state.
Endless war continues, peace efforts stillborn because Washington rejects them. Incidents like the staged Aleppo boy stunt is the latest US effort to enlist public support for greater war on Syria than already.
Unknown numbers of US and other NATO special forces operate on the ground illegally in northern areas near Turkey’s border, aiding terrorist fighters - warning Russia and Syria to avoid bombing their positions.
On Thursday, US warplanes were scrambled on the phony pretext of protecting US-led NATO special forces from Syrian warplanes operating in the area without threatening them.
OK for US to Terror-Bomb Syria Illegally - Not OK for Russia to Combat Terrorism
Stephen Lendman
Washington uses foreign airbases to terror-bomb Syrian hospitals, infrastructure and government targets, slaughtering defenseless civilians at the same time - on the phony pretext of combating ISIS it supports.
Russia heroically is involved in legitimately combating terrorism - from aerial missions conducted from Syrian territory and now from Iran in lieu of much longer distance flights from Russian territory. A previous article discussed it.
Deputy State Department spokesman Mark Toner falsely suggested Russian aerial operations from Iran’s Hamadan airbase perhaps violated UN Resolution 2231.
Two GOP Committee Chairmen Accuse Hillary of Perjury
Stephen Lendman
Perjury is a serious US crime, involving willfully lying under oath with intent to deceive in verbal, written or other testimony in court, before a grand jury, in congressional testimony, among other proceedings.
On August 15, House GOP Judiciary Committee chairman Bob Goodlatte and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Jason Chaffetz jointly said Hillary’s congressional testimony regarding use of her personal server for official State Department business was “incompatible” with FBI collected evidence - in a letter to US Attorney for the District of Columbia Channing Phillips. Urging “appropriate action as necessary” be taken, their letter in part said:
“The evidence collected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) during its investigation of Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal email system during her time as Secretary of State appears to directly contradict several aspects of her sworn testimony, which are described in greater detail below.”
NYT: Right About Trump’s Foreign Policy Address for the Wrong Reasons
Stephen Lendman
The Times leads the unprecedented scoundrel media assault against one US presidential candidate in support of the worst of two unacceptable choices.
Its editors’ latest broadside followed Trump’s Monday foreign policy address, a prescription for endless wars of aggression. A same day article deconstructed it - calling it dirty geopolitical business as usual vital to end once and for all.
Instead of blasting continued US imperial wars on the phony pretext of combating ISIS and other terrorist groups, Times editors called his speech “a collection of confused and random thoughts that showed little understanding of the rise of the Islamic State…”
Fact: Times editors never explain ISIS and all other prominent terrorist groups are US creations, a policy begun under Jimmy Carter against Soviet Russia in Afghanistan.
The Clintons’ Dirty Pay to Play Racket
Stephen Lendman
The name of the game is influence selling and self-enrichment, very big bucks involved.
The Clinton Foundation is a money laundering racketeering scheme posing as a charitable NGO. Bill and Hillary should have been prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned long ago. In America they get away with high crimes no just societies would tolerate.
Last year, the Washington Post reported the Clinton Foundation “raised close to $2 billion from a vast global network that includes corporate titans, political donors, foreign governments and other wealthy interests.”
The NYT Big Lie About Nonexistent Russian Aggression in Ukraine Revisited
Stephen Lendman
My edited and contributed to book, titled Flashpoint in Ukraine: How the US Drive for Hegemony Risks WW III explains America’s color revolution, replacing Ukrainian sovereign independence with illegitimate, Nazi-infested putschist rule, and much more.
It includes a wealth of invaluable information media scoundrels like The Times suppress. Distinguished contributors make the book special, an honor for me to be in the same volume with them.
After weeks of US-orchestrated violence, democracy in Ukraine succumbed in mid-February 2014. The scourge of fascism returned to central Europe for the first time since WW II.
Crimea and Donbass are bright spots, their residents rejecting tyranny for democratic governance.
Obama Pushing for TPP: Misinformation and Big Lies His Strategy
Stephen Lendman
US trade deals are jobs-killing weapons of mass destruction. They destroy fundamental freedoms. They ignore eco-sanity.
They’re abominations vital to end. America needs fair, not Orwellian free trade. Preventing TPP’s enactment into US law is crucial for all working-age Americans and their families.
NYT Editors Ignore Obama’s War on Yemen
Stephen Lendman
The Times is a shameless instrument of state propaganda, reporting only what it wants its readers to know, suppressing what’s most important, especially on geopolitical issues. More below on a Times editorial on Yemen.
Throughout his tenure, Obama waged illegal drone war on its people, largely killing unknown numbers of noncombatant civilians - innocent US imperial victims, millions of others post-9/11 alone throughout the region, central Asia, North Africa and elsewhere.
In March 2015, he launched escalated naked aggression, partnered with Israel and Gulf States, mainly Saudi Arabia - a proxy US imperial force, putting 24 million Yemenis at risk from war, related violence, preventable diseases, starvation and overall deprivation.
Slow-motion genocide continues, UN-claimed casualty numbers way understate reality. Countless thousands died, mostly civilians, numerous others seriously injured, many maimed for life - millions suffering, perhaps hundreds of thousands dying slow, painful deaths, especially young children, the elderly and infirm.
Turkey Seeking Closer Military Ties with Russia? Hold the Cheers
Stephen Lendman
Interviewed by Russia’s Sputnik News, Turkish Foreign Minister Melvut Cavusoglu called both nations “friendly countries, two neighbors (not always) see(ing) eye to eye on everything.”
He claimed Ankara wants good relations between both countries restored after months of hostility, following the downing of a Russian warplane in Syrian territory.
“(W)e are the only NATO country” not imposing sanctions on Russia, he said - Erdogan knowing their imposition would harm Turkey’s economy with Russia responding appropriately, aside from sanctions imposed following the downing of its aircraft last November.
“…Turkey is the best and most reliable friend Russia can possibly find,” Cavusoglu claimed. Not as long as Erdogan provides ISIS and other anti-Syrian terrorists safe haven on Turkish territory and keeps supplying them with weapons and munitions, wanting Assad deposed.
George Schwartz Soros - The Oligarch Who Owns The Left
Gilad Atzmon
An email leaked recently by Wikileaks reveals that in 2011, Jewish oligarch George Schwartz Soros gave step by step instructions to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on how to handle unrest in Albania.
Soros even nominated three candidates whom he believed to “have strong connections to the Balkans.”
Not surprisingly, several days after the email was sent to Clinton, the EU sent one of Soros’ nominees to meet Albanian leaders in Tirana to try to mediate an end to the unrest.
