How Trustworthy Are U.S. & Western ‘News’ Media?
Eric Zuesse
During the days of the Soviet Union, and in all dictatorial countries, the ‘news’ media were and are actually propaganda-media, which filter out information that the aristocracy (the people holding the real power, which in the Soviet Union were the Communist Party bosses) don’t want the public to know. Is the United States like that now?
I first came to the conclusion that the U.S. is a dictatorship in 2002, when I found proof that George W. Bush was lying to claim that he possessed proof that Saddam Hussein was rebuilding his WMD (weapons of mass destruction) stockpiles, and when the U.S. and UK ’news’ media hid this crucial fact that their heads-of-state were lying. Bush and British Prime Minster Tony Blair were arguing in 2002 against sending IAEA inspectors back into Iraq in order to verify whether or not Saddam was rebuilding his WMD stockpiles; they alleged that they (Bush-Blair) already possessed proof that he was accumulating WMD.
Reign of Terror in Ukraine
by Stephen Lendman
Obama's fascist Ukrainian friends are ruthless. They're dangerous/unscrupulous gangster thugs systematically abolishing personal freedoms.
Try finding a single major Western media report explaining Kiev regime lawlessness - and the ominous threat it poses. None exist. What demands denunciation gets scoundrel media support.
On the one hand, Ukrainian officials are actively readying for renewed full-scale aggression on Donbass - with full US support and encouragement, including heavy weapons and munitions supplied.
On the other, they're reigning terror on anyone opposing their ruthless rule - courageous individuals demanding democratic rights.
Vladimir Putin: Voted Most Important World Figure
by Stephen Lendman
Time magazine readers called him the most influential one. In 2007, its editors chose him person of the year for his "extraordinary feat of leadership in imposing stability on a nation that has rarely known it and bringing Russia back to the table of world power."
In 2013 and 2014, Forbes magazine chose him the world's powerful leader. In 2014, Russians voted him Person of the Year for the 16th time.
His domestic approval rating is an astonishing 86% - double or more what Obama scores. Russians consider him their most trustworthy leader. Obama is polar opposite.
He has no credibility whatever. He's a war criminal multiple times over. His neocon-infested administration threatens world peace.
His war crimes remain unaccountable. They continue daily - especially against defenseless civilian men, women and children. He considers them legitimate targets.
Putin is a leading world proponent for peace and stability. Claims otherwise are Big Lies.
Human Rights Group Accuses Israel of Deliberately Murdering Gazan Children
by Stephen Lendman
A new Defense for Children International-Palestine
(DCIP) report accuses Israel of willfully killing Palestinian children during last summer's Gaza war.
Around 550 children were murdered in cold blood - two-thirds under age 12.
Israel considers all civilians legitimate targets. International law calls killing them a war crime.
Another 3,400 children were injured - over 1,000 maimed for life. They need vital medical care unavailable because of Israel's lawless siege - ongoing aggression by any standard with full US-led Western support.
America and Israel partner in each other's high crimes. They're the world's leading aggressor states - the most egregious human and civil rights abusers. They're mindless of core international laws, norms and standards.
Imagine willfully murdering defenseless/nonthreatening young children at home asleep, at play, going to or from school, or running errands for parents.
Imagine considering them enemies of the state. Imagine using illegal terror weapons against them.
Imagine traumatizing young survivors for life. Imagine Israel outrageously trying to justify the unjustifiable.
Imagine a grieving Palestinian mother explaining her nine-year-old son's "arms and legs were cut off" by an Israeli shell.
"The upper part of his body was separated from his lower body, which was turned into small pieces. I screamed," she said.
She and her son were returning to a UN shelter when disaster struck. Israel murdered dozens of entire families in cold blood.
Ukraine’s Pres. Poroshenko Tries to Stop His Side’s Ceasefire Violations
Eric Zuesse
According to Donetsk People’s Republic Defense Minister Eduard Basurin, speaking Saturday April 11th, the recently reported ceasefire violations by the Ukrainian government’s side are violations by the Ukrainian government’s volunteer irregular battalions, not by regular units of the armed forces of Ukraine (which are conscripts and thus represent the will of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko).
Furthermore, the DPR’s statement goes considerably farther, to indicate that Ukraine's President Poroshenko has actually been enforcing his side’s compliance with the ceasefire agreement. According to the from the "Donetsk People's Republic, Novorossiya”:
"On Friday, the reports came that the Ukrainian 93rd separate mechanized brigade [the Ukrainan government’s forces] had demanded from the 'Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists’ battalion [a group of nazi volunteer fighters] to abandon their positions in the area of Peski. The ‘OUN' battalion is not controlled by the Kiev authorities.
Obama Betrays Iran on Nuclear Deal
by Stephen Lendman
One thing for sure can be said about Obama. He's consistent. He says one thing. He does another - virtually always.
He predictably betrays the public trust with disturbing regularity. He flouts agreements with other nations - blaming them for his wrongdoing.
It's unsurprising he breached the framework nuclear deal with Iran. It's disturbing how quickly. On the one hand, his so-called fact sheet includes stipulations contrary to terms reached.
Netanyahu Outrageously Compares Iran to Nazis During WW II
by Stephen Lendman
Israel commemorates Yom HaShoah/Holocaust Remembrance Day annually. Vad Vashem is its official holocaust memorial.
Netanyahu exploited the occasion this year like earlier. He denigrated the memory of millions of Jewish and non-Jewish WW II victims.
He ignored decades of Israeli inflicted genocidal slaughter on defenseless Palestinians. He finds news ways to reveal his hate-mongering/racist/serial lying viciousness.
Global War Today Looms Like Never Before Since WW II
by Stephen Lendman
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned "(w)e have all come to the edge today where it is again necessary, just like after the second world war, to make a fatal choice between cooperation (or) conflicts."
US hegemonic ambitions make peace impossible. Lunatics run the Washington asylum. Their lust for war is insatiable.
They wage one after another. They accuse other nations for their high crimes.
Gunslinging NATO head US General Philip Breedlove risks launching WW III all by himself.
Iranian Nuclear Deal Factsheet
by Stephen Lendman
On Wednesday, Iran's Parliament released a factsheet on agreed on nuclear deal framework terms. It differs markedly from Obama's distorted version.
He proved he can't be trusted many times before. Again by betraying Iran.
On the one hand, by distorting and inaccurately reporting terms agreed on.
On the other, by selling out to bipartisan congressional hardliners, Israel and its Lobby.
He effectively wrecked agreed on framework terms by giving Congress final say on agreement provisions if reached by June 30.
Chances for consummating a fair and equitable deal for all parties is virtually nil. It shouldn't surprise. Washington's notorious history shows its word isn't its bond. It can't be trusted.
Jewish Billionaire Finances Ukraine’s Aydar SS Nazi Troops
Eric Zuesse
Here is a Battalion-member proudly displaying his Nazi flag with Swastika:
The hyper-nationalist Ukrainian-Israeli billionaire Ihor Kolomoysky, a friend of the Obama White House and employer of Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden, is a major donor to far-right Ukrainian causes. He sides with the followers of Stepan Bandera, the pro-Nazi Ukrainian leader whom Hitler ditched when Bandera made clear that he wanted Ukraine to be nazi but independent of Germany’s Nazi Party. Briefly, Bandera’s #2 in command, Yaroslav Stetsko, led nazi Ukraine, and approved the slaughter of thousands of Jews there. He clearly stated his view, that: “Moscow and Jewry are Ukraine’s greatest enemies and bearers of corruptive Bolshevik international ideas. Although I consider Moscow, which is in fact Ukraine held in captivity, and not Jewry, to be the main and decisive enemy, I nonetheless fully appreciate the undeniably harmful and hostile role of the Jews, who are helping Moscow to enslave Ukraine. I therefore support the destruction of the Jews."
