On August 18th, the terrific “Moon of Alabama” blogger posted his brilliant exposé of an operation that the U.S. and its allies support and are lobbying to win the Nobel Peace Prize, but that’s really just a group of people who help Syria’s anti-Assad jihadists by medicating their injured jihadists, and by carrying off and disposing of the jihadists’ victims’ corpses. The headline is “The ‘Wounded Boy In Orange Seat’ — Another Staged ‘White Helmets’ Stunt”. This story concerns staged (faked) photos by that Western-funded-and-backed jihadist organization — photos which have prominently been spread in Western ‘news’ media (and here’s an example of that Western propaganda on August 20th, from NPR’s sanctimonious sucker Scott Simon, quoting the New York Times’s sanctimonious sucker Nick Kristof, both of them suckers of their own government’s hoax, and passing it on to their fools who trust their deceived and propagandistic ‘reporting’). It’s all being done in order to fool Western publics to support their governments’ financial and military assistance to (actually) the jihadists who have been imported by the U.S. and allied governments into Syria to overthrow Assad, who is supported by the majority of Syrians, while the United States and the jihadists it backs are despised by 82% of Syrians. They’re imported to conquer land there, and to help bring down the Assad government and to replace the existing secular Syrian government with a ‘pro-Western’ government run by ‘our’ jihadists, who (unlike the secular government of Bashar al-Assad) will allow the fundamentalist-Islamic royal families who own Saudi Arabia and Qatar, to pipeline through Syria into the European Union, their oil and gas, so as to supplant Russia’s oil and gas in Europe — the biggest-of-all energy-market.

His August 15 foreign policy address in Youngstown, OH showed he’ll govern as an establishment leader if elected in November - continuing dirty geopolitical business as usual vital to end once and for all.
He’ll wage endless wars to “defeat radical Islamic terrorism,” he said - without explaining its US creation and support at least since the 1980s in Afghanistan against Soviet Russia.
Bin Laden was a Pakistani intelligence-recruited CIA asset. Obama didn’t kill him. He died of natural causes in December 2001, widely reported at the time.
Earlier mujahideen fighters are today’s Taliban, Al Qaeda, Nusra Front, ISIS, Boko Haram and similar groups - created, supported and used by America as imperial foot soldiers to do its killing and dying where they’re deployed with the aim of replacing sovereign independent governments with US puppet regimes.

War is waged in more than one way - actual combat along with demonizing propaganda to win public support for attacking manufactured enemies, nonexistent ones, based on the phony pretext of humanitarian intervention and responsibility to protect.
No matter how often the scheme is used, the public is easily duped every time to believe America is a force for good against evil. Reality is polar opposite.
When America goes to war, naked aggression each time post-WW II, supportive media scoundrels march in lockstep - mindless of the enormous cost in lives lost, vast destruction, chaos and human misery, leaving unexplained US imperial objectives.

Putin knew it was chancy at best dealing with a rogue leader like Erdogan - Turkey a NATO member with close ties to Washington’s imperial agenda, despite current strains over the disruptive events of July 15 he blamed on his US ally.
If Moscow-based international correspondent John Helmer is right, both leaders remain intractably apart on Syria and regional policies overall.
Erdogan continues ruthless mass purging of suspected opponents, numbers perhaps approaching 100,000 with no end to cleaning house in sight. At the same time, he’s “promis(ing) big,” in return for maximum concessions possible from Russia, America and the EU.
Stephen Lendman
Imperial supporters aren’t pleased about news detrimental to their interests. Iran letting Russia use its Hamedan airbase to launch airstrikes and cruise missiles on terrorist targets in Syria is great news for the free world, awful for wannabe masters of the universe.
Both countries are sovereign independent states Washington targets for regime change, wanting them transformed into US vassal states, along with all other nations it doesn’t control.
Media scoundrels jumped on their growing military alliance, bashing them for forging closer ties against US-supported terrorists threatening the region and elsewhere.

A leaked Hillary Clinton email confirms that the Obama administration, with Hillary at the helm, orchestrated a civil war in Syria to benefit Israel. See story ~ https://www.transcend.org/tms/2016/08/clinton-email-we-must-destroy-syria-for-israel/
America's Cross of Iron speech was immortalized by President Eisenhower in 1953 as well as his farewell address to the nation in 1961 and he correctly predicted that with the accelerated rise of the Military/Industrial complex ~ mankind would eventually be hanging on a cross of Iron. That speech brought into focus America's dark side military/Industrial/ Congressional complex as well as the stark reality of the election of a proven and committed War president in 2016 as well as the ominous realization that we have now firmly come face to face with the dark side of our consciousness:
“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” Carl Jung

Calling her “crooked Hillary,” a “liar,” a “devil,” and “unfit to serve” aren’t good enough. Ya gotta be more specific. Tiptoeing around her dark side is no winning formula.
I’m no political strategist but it strikes me that defeating her requires striking where she’s most vulnerable - with hard-hitting facts backing it up.
And hammering at them relentlessly. The Clinton campaign’s only ammunition is Trump’s rhetoric with no public record to attack him on.
It goes without saying that anyone reaching billionaire status has lots of skeletons to hide, but they’re mostly private, not public. Hillary’s baggage is notorious, indictable stuff since her crooked lawyer days followed by a near-generation of more serious criminality - enough evidence to sink her if used effectively with an important caveat.
THE MILLENNIUM REPORT: Reporting the Most Important News in the World Today.
Hillary Has No Right Even Being There. How does a woman with so many political liabilities, criminal allegations, physical deficits and obvious weaknesses run for president?
Why would the Democrats nominate such an inferior, first-woman-ever presidential candidate?
In fact there’s a very good reason behind Clinton’s implausible candidacy

By all accounts Hillary R. Clinton is an extremely flawed presidential nominee. Her numerous medical ailments and health crises makes her unfit for any national office, much less the POTUS. Her never-ending trail of scandals is enough to sink any other politician’s ship anywhere on planet earth.
Her complete lack of transparency, dissembling ways and pathological prevarication bespeak a character that is totally untrustworthy. Her foreign policy disasters at State are evident by the overwhelming calamity that the whole Middle East has become, especially the Northern Levant.
Stephen Lendman
Besides numerous other reasons relating to affairs of state to keep Hillary from succeeding Obama, her deteriorating physical, mental and emotional health should automatically disqualify her.
Her illness is incurable, worsening over time, perhaps incapacitating her in office if she becomes America’s 45th president.
In February 2014, Mount Kisco Medical Group’s Dr. Lisa Bardack, Hillary’s doctor, wrote the letter below, clearly indicating she’s unfit to serve for medical reasons.
An earlier article I wrote explained the following:
Presidential illnesses aren't rare. Noted US heads of state took ill in office, became sidelined, couldn’t perform their duties properly, or at times at all. Woodrow Wilson was America’s 28th president. He served two terms from 1913 - 1921. His health was a state secret. In November 1912, he was elected president. In March 1913, he took office. Few knew his health history.
In 1896, he suffered a stroke. It caused marked right upper limb weakness. Sensory disturbances affected his fingers. For almost a year, he couldn't write.
Stephen Lendman
This year’s presidential race seems more like Trump v. US media scoundrels than against Hillary. It’s hard recalling bias for one candidate against the other more brazen than now.
On Saturday in Fairfield, CT, Trump said “I’m not running against crooked Hillary Clinton. I’m running against the crooked media.”
Tweeting on Sunday, he said “(i)f the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly…I would be beating Hillary by 20%.”He blasted a weekend NYT article, claiming campaign dysfunction, tweeting “(t)he failing nytimes talks about anonymous sources and meetings that never happened. Their reporting is fiction. The media protects Hillary.”
