Theresa May Decided Britain First
Gilad Atzmon
British Jews are not so sure about Theresa May. Her cabinet “has fewer Jewish ministers than any government for a decade” the JC reported last week. Theresa certainly witnessed how the Jewish lobby crashed Corbyn and the Labour party. She probably came to the conclusion that she would do much better without that foreign interventionist lobby dominating her political decisions. She decided Britain first.
Some Jews seem to have serious problems with Sir Alan Duncan's new role as a Foreign Office minister.
Syria’s Assad Blasts US Imperial Policies
Stephen Lendman
America’s imperial agenda threatens world peace, waging forever wars in multiple theaters, setting nations ablaze, risking the world’s third global war with weapons of mass destruction.
The US Peace Council is an “anti-imperialist organization committed to peace, economic and social justice and to international solidarity with the peoples of the world.”
In late April, it denounced Obama’s escalation of war on Syria, wanting a client state installed serving US interests, its sovereign independent government replaced. On Thursday, a PC delegation met with Assad in Damascus, its head Henry Lowendorf, saying “(w)e had the honor to meet President al-Assad.”
“He was straightforward and wanted us to be so. We related to him what we saw and he provided rational, accurate and wise answers for our questions.”
Jill, not Hill!!
Stephen Lendman
Activists in Philadelphia’s downtown plaza chanted “Jill, not Hill.”
Jill Stein, presumptive Green Party presidential nominee, a longtime physician/activist, a true populist, wanting her professional skills used to heal a sick nation.
It desperately needs what she can provide, scoundrel media-supported corrupted duopoly power denying her the chance to become president by virtually ignoring her candidacy, opposing what she stands for.
She remains redoubtable and heroic, her progressive agenda what the world needs now, genuinely supporting:
NATO Chief WSJ Op-Ed: Misinformation and Big Lies
Stephen Lendman
Savvy news consumers know US-led Western media lie, deceive, misinform and betray them disgracefully, featuring all propaganda all the time on issues mattering most.
Giving WSJ op-ed space to US-installed NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg is one of many notable insults to readers. His headline gave him away, saying “NATO Muscles Up to Fight ISIS.”
“America, you are not alone in this fight,” he said. “Your friends and allies stand with you. And so does NATO. That is why I will join coalition defense ministers in Washington, DC, this week as they intensify the fight against ISIS.”
Fact: America controls NATO, its member states, and officials like Stoltenberg, used as tools to advance its imperial objectives, waging war on humanity to achieve them.
Turkey’s Erdogan Abolishes Constitutional Governance
Stephen Lendman
On Wednesday, Turkey’s fading democratic remnants died. Erdogan officially usurped dictatorial power.
He suspended constitutional law and parliamentary governance - 90-day emergency authority replacing it, likely to be extended indefinitely so he can ruthlessly eliminate all elements potentially challenging his absolute rule.
Interviewed by Qatar’s owned and operated Al Jazeera, he lied claiming circumventing constitutional governance “remain(s) inside a democratic parliamentary system,” adding:“(W)hatever is necessary for the nation’s peace and stability will be done,” suggesting reign of terror ruthlessness will continue.
“I don’t think we have come to the end of it yet,” he said. “(T)he declaration of the state of emergency has the sole purpose of taking the necessary measures in the face of the terrorist threat that our country is facing.”
Robotic Politics is Menace to Global Peace and Security
Mahboob A Khawaja, PhD.
Warmongering as an institution spells out history’s malicious mistakes, often irretrievable. America needs a visionary transformational leadership capable to restore democracy, people-oriented system of governance, political accountability and to avert fascism on a global scale. Should such a leader not be equipped with superb insight, originality and verve, to make the masses think about a new and an emerging global civil society away from the existing reactionary onslaught of blame-games and failed institutions, and invigorated by human rights principles and religious tolerance. Does America want another Clinton or Trump to slip toward a geopolitical morass? One wonders if American presidential elections are just a prototype of robotic political model full of incurable resentment and repeated historical ironies to dominate and control the world. Could the next American president envision an apocalyptic ending to humanity's stint on planet Earth?
Collective Punishment to Follow Tel Aviv Shootings
Stephen Lendman
Lawless collective punishment usually follows violent incidents involving Palestinians - most often state-sponsored, not their fault.
Wednesday evening Tel Aviv shootings were unusual, reports indicating four Israelis killed, 16 wounded at the Sarona open-air shopping center, according to Israeli emergency services.
Two armed men reportedly disguised as orthodox Jews opened fire indiscriminately. Suspects were arrested. One is hospitalized in moderate condition.Israel automatically calls these incidents “terrorist” attacks, using them to demonize all Palestinians, justifying unjustifiable collective punishment.
Netanyahu convened a Thursday security meeting, harsh recrimination sure to follow, nonviolent Palestinians to suffer unfairly for the crimes of two individuals.
Disturbing Reality in Syria
Stephen Lendman
Endless war continues with no prospect for peace because Washington rejects it - wanting overwhelmingly popular Bashar al-Assad forcibly ousted, knowing he won’t step down voluntarily nor should he.
International law supports him. Syrians alone may decide who’ll lead them, free from foreign interference. All armed opposition groups in Syria engaged in combat against government forces along with slaughtering defenseless civilians are terrorists.
Washington and its rogue allies support them - imported death squads unable to exist without foreign backing.
Chelsea Manning Seeks Overturn of Wrongful Conviction
Stephen Lendman
Manning was wrongfully imprisoned for courageously revealing US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan Pentagon officials want suppressed.
Responsible parties got medals and promotions. Manning got prison. Show trial proceedings sentenced her to 35 years behind bars.
Rogue states honor their worst, persecute their best, Manning one of thousands of US political prisoners.
Lawyers representing her filed a motion before the US Army Court of Criminal Appeals, calling her 2013 conviction unconstitutional, arguing it should be overturned.
One count was based on allegedly violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), aimed at holding individuals involved in breaking into computer systems responsible, what Manning didn’t do.
She was convicted on 19 counts, including one under CFAA. In a 209-page filing, lawyers argued her punishment is grossly unfair and unprecedented.
Hatemongering Israeli Defense Minister Denigrates Palestine’s Poet Laureate
Stephen Lendman
Neocon lunatics run Israel, a crowd similar to America’s ruling authority under either right wing of its duopoly government.
Ultranationalist, hatemongering Israeli defense minister/former foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman is an embarrassment to legitimate governance. In Israel, he holds high office, an Arab-hating gangster with his finger on his nation’s nuclear trigger.
On Israeli Army Radio, he compared revered Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish (1941 - 2008) with “glorification of the literary marvels of Adolph Hitler’s Mein Kamph” - a shocking perversion of truth, typical of how Lieberman and likeminded Israeli extremists operate.
