Hillary Clinton’s Anti-BDS Agenda
by Stephen Lendman
The global BDS initiative is the single most effective campaign against longstanding Israeli ruthlessness. Hillary Clinton opposes it - supporting Israel’s worst crimes, against fundamental rights for Palestinians everyone deserves.
In July, she wrote a letter to major Democrat party contributor/ billionaire entertainment mogul Haim Saban expressing alarm about BDS, stressing the need to counter its activities, saying:
“(L)eaders and communities across America can work together” against it. “From Congress and state legislatures to boardrooms and classrooms, we need to engage all people of good faith (to explain) why the BDS campaign (seeks to) punish” Israel.
Fact: It seeks to hold Israel accountable for high crimes too grave to ignore.“It’s not the path to peace,” Clinton continued. Fact: It’s a vital peace initiative - unlike the longstanding sham process dead on arrival every time introduced because Israel wants endless conflict and instability - to advance its greater Middle East agenda at the expense of other regional countries.
Scotland Bans Growing GM Crops
by Stephen Lendman
Independent evidence shows GM foods and ingredients harm human health. All nations should ban them.
UN General Assembly measures and international humanitarian laws say all nations are responsible for protecting the health, safety and welfare of their people.
Harmful to human health GMOs should be universally banned. Scotland acted responsibly. More on its action below.
Monsanto and other GMO producers own Congress and US administrations - no matter which party holds power. In late July, House members overwhelmingly passed the Orwellian Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act (HR 1599) critics call the Deny Americans the Right to Know (DARK) Act by a nearly two-to-one margin (275 - 150).
It prohibits state and local authorities from requiring GMO labeling - so consumers can make informed choices whether to buy or avoid them. Center for Food Safety director Andrew Kimbrell said in response:
“Passage of this bill is an attempt by Monsanto and its agribusiness cronies to crush the democratic decision-making of tens of millions of Americans. Corporate influence has won and the voice of the people has been ignored.”
Arguably the measure is unconstitutional - along with permitting the sale of GMO foods and ingredients. Its Preamble mandates “promot(ing) the general welfare” - impossible by allowing the sale of foods and ingredients known to harm human health without at least requiring labels telling consumers what they need to know.
Genocide Advocate Appointed Israeli UN Envoy
by Stephen Lendman
Israel is run by a fanatical criminal gang of lunatics - genocidists wanting greater Israel for Jews alone, Arabs entirely eliminated from areas they want ethnically pure.
It’s permanently at war with Palestine, terrorizing defenseless civilians, mass slaughtering them at its discretion, brutalizing children like adults, attacking Palestinian fishermen a reported 1312 times since Operation Protective Edge ended last August.
Likudnik Danny Danon is a notorious racist - an outspoken opponent of Palestinian self-determination. Netanyahu sacked him last summer as deputy defense minister for calling Operation Protective Edge too soft on Gaza. He urged greater genocide than already inflicted. “We should have given the order to the army to clean up Gaza,” he said. Form your own judgment on what he meant.
Meet the ‘Moderates’ the U.S. Is Supporting in Syria: They’re al-Qaeda
Eric Zuesse, as originally published by Strategic-Culture.org
Increasing evidence is coming in that the groups the U.S. is trying to install into power in Syria are actually contending groups of Sunni Islamic jihadists who seem to agree on only one thing: they want to replace the secular government of the Shiite Bashar al-Assad, who is supported by Russia and by Shiite Iran. They want to replace it with a Sunni Islamic government. Some of these groups have perpetrated terrorist attacks (some including beheadings) against Americans, and one such group is even al-Qaeda, the Sunni Islamic organization that, of course, perpetrated the 9/11, 2001, attacks and others. In Syria, al-Qaeda goes under the name Jabhat al-Nusra, or al-Nusra for short. As will be documented here, the United States has, until recently, been allied with al-Nusra, but, because of the bad image this U.S. alliance has spread about al-Nusra among their fellow-Sunnis, al-Nusra is now separating itself from ISIL, the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant, otherwise known as Islamic State in Iraq and Syria or ISIS, and which the United States is now assisting, to defeat the forces of Assad, notwithstanding ISIL’s infamous videos of their chopping off heads of nonbelievers.
Call To Stop the Immediate Danger of World War III
By larouchepac.com
Aug. 7, 2015 EIRNS)-The following statement was issued by Schiller Institute on August 5, for mass circulation and signatures internationally.
It is high time to break the most dangerous taboo of the present: to know and act on the acute possibility, that mankind may be annihilated within days or weeks.
On the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the world stands closer to the brink of thermonuclear war than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The Obama Administration and NATO have placed mankind in jeopardy of sudden extinction through a series of senseless provocations directed against Russia, primarily, and China second.
CISA: Another Police State Law Obama Wants Passed
by Stephen Lendman
Post-9/11 repressive legislation made America more of a police state than earlier.
Obama wants more on top of current freedom-destroying laws, executive orders, national security and homeland security presidential directives, military orders when issued, and extrajudicial diktats at his discretion.
Most disturbing is too few Americans realize or even care about their fundamental constitutional and international law mandated rights disappearing in plain sight. America never was a democracy - less so now than ever with monied interests controlling everything, rigged elections for top government posts mattering most, ordinary people’s rights and wishes entirely ignored, and repressive laws cracking down hard on nonbelievers.
Former Saddam Officers Dominate ISIS Ranks: US Recruits?
by Stephen Lendman
Global Research.ca reported former US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) head/retired Lt. General Michael Flynn citing official US documents telling Al Jazeera creating ISIS was “a willful (Obama administration) decision.”
A strategic one serving US interests. Its insurgents aren’t an independent entity or enemy to be destroyed. The so-called war on ISIS is a complete fabrication - as phony as America’s “war on terror.”
Washington ignores Security Council Resolution 2178 (September 2014) calling on member states to “suppress the recruiting, organizing, transporting, equipping and financing of foreign terrorist fighters” (ISIS and related groups). It does precisely the opposite. Strategic aims include creating a cauldron of regional violence and instability, toppling Syria’s Assad, replacing his government with pro-Western stooges, mainly benefitting Washington and Israel.
The U.S. Is Destroying Europe
Eric Zuesse, originally posted at strategic-culture.org
In Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and other countries at the periphery or edges of Europe, U.S. President Barack Obama has been pursuing a policy of destabilization, and even of bombings and other military assistance, that drives millions of refugees out of those peripheral areas and into Europe, thereby adding fuel to the far-rightwing fires of anti-immigrant rejectionism, and of resultant political destabilization, throughout Europe, not only on its peripheries, but even as far away as in northern Europe.
Shamus Cooke at Off-Guardian headlines on 3 August 2015, “Obama’s ‘Safe Zone’ in Syria Intended to Turn It into New Libya,” and he reports that Obama has approved U.S. air support for Turkey’s previously unenfoceable no-fly zone over Syria. The U.S. will now shoot down all of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s planes that are targeting the extremist-Muslim groups, including ISIS, that have taken over huge swaths of Syrian territory.
Straight Talk on Syria
by Stephen Lendman
Syria is a sovereign independent country threatening no others, an Israeli regional rival, a thorn in the side of Washington’s hegemonic aims, an ally of Iran and Hezbollah, a victim of US imperial ruthlessness.
There’s nothing civil about Obama’s war on Syria despite official claims otherwise. Conflict was planned months in advance of its March 2011 onset, weeks after US-led NATO attacked Libya without just cause, Washington thinking both governments could be toppled in months - replaced by puppet regimes serving Western interests. One of many Big Lies proliferated about both governments claims popular sentiment rejected their ruling authorities. At the height of US-led aggression on Libya, Gaddafi had overwhelming support.
Unjustifiable De Facto Martial Law in Ferguson, MO
by Stephen Lendman
US federal, state, county or city authorities circumventing constitutional protections with de facto or de jure martial law based on exaggerated state of emergency conditions reveals police state America in plain sight - enforced against the nation’s most vulnerable, grievously abused, justified in demanding redress.
Killer cops murder Blacks in America with virtual impunity hundreds of times a year - on city streets, in rural areas, private homes, commercial spaces, jail cells among other places. Jim Crow flourishes in America - with full support from federal, state and local authorities. Racial profiling is rife. African-Americans are ruthlessly abused - arrested for driving, walking, speaking, chewing gum or doing virtually anything legitimate while Black.
