US/Saudi Blockade Prevents Vital Humanitarian Aid from Reaching Yemen
by Stephen Lendman
Yemen is Obama's war - more genocide on his rap sheet against 25 million Yemenis wanting freedom from imperial oppression.
US/Saudi imposed air and sea blockade prevents vital humanitarian aid in amounts needed from reaching desperate Yemenis - including food, clean water, medical supplies and other essentials to life.
Obama, Saudis and rogue regional allies (including Israel) want Yemenis starved to death or perishing from untreated serious wounds.
Reuters reported desperately needed vital aid is being blocked. Saudis continue "holding up food deliveries by sea" and air.
ICRC spokeswoman Marie Claire Feghali said things "were difficult enough before, but now there are just no words for how bad (they've) gotten."
Israel Aids Nepalese Victims, Blocks Gaza Reconstruction
by Stephen Lendman
Israel and America give double standard hypocrisy new meaning. Washington wages endless direct and proxy wars of aggression claiming humanitarian intervention.
Israeli occupation harshness is nearly seven decades old. Besieged Gazans suffer most - preemptively attacked by land, sea and air at Israel's discretion, isolated in the world's largest open-air prison.
Last summer's genocidal war left large parts of Gaza in ruins - besides committing mass murder, including willfully massacring mostly noncombatant men, women, children, infants and the elderly.
According to UNRWA, "(n)ot a single home has been rebuilt" - eight months after Israel's genocidal war ended.
Congressional Legislation Targets BDS Initiatives
Stephen Lendman
AIPAC-promoted/anti-BDS measures were attached as amendments to House and Senate fast track legislation introduced earlier in April.
Its purpose is to ram through Congress Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) bills global justice advocates call NAFTA on steroids - stealth corporate coup d'etats.
The House measure "discourage(s) politically motivated actions to boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel and seek(s) the elimination of politically motivated non-tariff barriers on Israeli goods, services, or other commerce imposed on the State of Israel."
Chernobyl All Over Again
by Stephen Lendman
Forest fires rage in Ukraine dangerously close to Chernobyl. Ukrainian interior minister Arsen Avakov said conditions "worsened."
"The forest fire is heading in the direction of Chernobyl's installations," he said. Treetop flames and strong gusts of wind have created a real danger of the fire spreading to an area within 20 kilometers of the power plant."
"There are about (1,000 acres) of forests in the endangered area," he claimed. "National Guard and interior ministry forces have been put on combat alert."
The April 26, 1986 Chernobyl incident was the worst nuclear power plant disaster up to that time - exceeded only by Japan's Fukushima (March 11, 2011).
Harvard Trained Immunologist Demolishes California Legislation That Terminates Vaccine Exemptions
by State of the Nation
SOTN Editor’s Note:
The following open letter written by a PhD Immunologist completely demolishes the current California legislative initiative to remove all vaccine exemptions. That such a draconian and cynical state statute is under consideration in the ‘Golden State’ is as shocking as it is predictable. After all, the legislation was mysteriously written and submitted shortly after the manufactured-in-Disneyland measles ‘outbreak’.
The indisputable science that is employed by Tetyana Obukhanych, PhD ought to be read by every California legislator who is entertaining an affirmative vote for SB277. Dr. Obukhanych skillfully deconstructs the many false and fabricated arguments that are advanced by Big Pharma and the U.S Federal Government as they attempt to implement a nationwide Super-Vaccination agenda.
When the California Senate refuses to consider authoritative scientific evidence which categorically proves the dangerous vaccine side effects on the schoolchildren, something is very wrong. Such conduct by the Senate constitutes a criminal conspiracy (as in a real conspiracy to inflict harm) which endangers the lives and welfare of children. Their official behavior must therefore be acknowledged for what it is — CRIMINAL — and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Obama Threatens China with Nuclear Weapons
by Stephen Lendman
No nation in world history ever threatened humanity's survival more than America.
None operates more recklessly. Lunatics in charge wage endless wars of aggression against nonbelligerent countries.
Peace and stability are verboten. Direct and proxy wars rage. More are planned.
In six years in office, Obama waged preemptive wars of aggression against seven nations. He has lots more death and destruction in mind.
Yemen is his latest atrocity. Ukraine heads toward resumed full-scale war at his discretion.
He challenges Russia provocatively and recklessly - risking direct confrontation.
Obama Rejects Peace in Yemen: Orders Genocidal War Continued
by Stephen Lendman
Yemen is being raped in plain sight. Obama bears full responsibility.
It's his planned and orchestrated war - using Saudi and other regional proxies to wage premeditated aggression against a country threatening no one.
He turned another part of the Arab world into a greater cauldron of violence, chaos and instability than already - with no end of conflict in sight.
Civilian men, women and children suffer most. They're being willfully murdered in cold blood. Media scoundrels either largely ignore or misreport on what's ongoing.
Endless US imperial aggression continues. "(T)he job is not done," said White House communications director Jen Psaki.
Endless war continues. On Monday, Saudis terror-bombed a Taiz girl's school.
Is Germany a Sovereign Nation?
Shortly after Spiegel Online published German Intelligence Under Fire for NSA Cooperation (Apr 24), I added what I thought would be the first comment on the article. I returned to the next day to see how the comment had fared. To my surprise, the caption “Be the first to comment on this article” remained in place. My comment was rejected (and remains so). Just maybe, I thought, the comment title, also the headline of this article, and my questions about German sovereignty were deemed unacceptable for Spiegel’s reading public.
The April 24 Spiegel Online article added yet another chapter to the privacy violations by the United States National Security Agency (NSA). Along with its German equivalent, the BND, NSA engaged in electronic spying on the German government, German politicians, and commercial concerns in Germany and other European countries. This violated an agreement for shared electronic monitoring, which stipulated that there would be no spying on German or U.S. targets.
More Reckless Russia Bashing
by Stephen Lendman
It ebbs, flows but never entirely ceases. Russia remains US public enemy number one - to serve its imperial interests threatening world peace.
Bogus accusations persist - reckless and irresponsible. The New York Times is America's lead corporate instrument of state propaganda.
On April 22, it headlined "Putin Bolsters His Forces Near Ukraine, US Says."
Throughout Obama's proxy war on Donbass, Putin was repeatedly accused of nonexistent Russian aggression.
Big Lies never stop. According to The Times citing US sources, "Russia has continued to deploy air defense systems in eastern Ukraine and has built up its forces near the border…"
"Western officials are not sure if the military moves are preparations for a new Russian-backed offensive that would be intended to help the separatists seize additional territory."
"(T)he new military activity is a major concern because it has significantly reduced the amount of warning that Ukraine and its Western supporters would have if Russian forces and separatists mounted a joint offensive."
"And some of Russia’s actions, American officials say, are flagrant violations of the cease-fire agreement that European nations negotiated with Russia and Ukraine in February."
Are Leading Economists Corrupt, or Just Mind-Blowingly Ignorant?
Eric Zuesse
Above is the list of top career donors to Hillary Clinton: https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cycle=Career&cid=n00000019
Conservative economists favor Republican candidates because it’s the way for them to rise in power themselves, but what about ‘progressive’ economists: are they psychopaths, too; or do they instead blindly favor ‘Democratic’ candidates because of a sincerely oblivious belief that the mere ‘Democratic’ Party-label indicates that the given politician is actually progressive?
