Was the California drought geoengineered to pass future ‘climate change’ legislation?
Relentless Chemtrail Spraying and HAARP-manufactured weather events have been used to radically alter California’s climate State of the Nation
For anyone who has closely tracked the evolution of California’s ever-worsening drought, it has been apparent — from the very beginning — that something is very wrong with this mostly manmade catastrophe.
The purpose of this exposé is to reveal the evidence, some scientific and some anecdotal, which indicates that this historic and unprecedented drought has been literally engineered from start to finish. Just like LA’s Hollywood studios have produced so many disaster epics, the Government-Corporate Complex has quite purposefully staged this catastrophic drought throughout the statewide ‘set’ of California.
Again, the thesis of this essay is that both the U.S. Federal Government and select Military-Industrial Complex corporations have conspired to create the California drought. While that may sound like a conspiracy theory to some, the growing body of evidence points directly to Government-Corporate Complex* complicity. Read More
A World Without War
by Stephen Lendman
Throughout this writer's entire life, US direct and/or proxy wars raged - today more than ever in multiple theaters worldwide.
Imagine living over 80 years without knowing a single day of peace. Without conflict, mass slaughter and destruction.
Without valuing human life and welfare more than the spoils of war. America is a warrior state - more ruthless than any in history.
It wages wars on an unprecedented scale, besides successful and failed regime change efforts by coups, assassinations and other means.
US imperial policy threatens humanity's survival like no nation ever did before - with weapons of unimaginable destructive power and lunatics in charge willing to use them.
They make the unthinkable possible. Policymakers in Washington deplore peace. They glorify war. They plan new ones while current conflicts rage.
Obama's War on Donbass: The Devastating Toll After One Year of Conflict
by Stephen Lendman
Last April, Obama declared war on Donbass - using Kiev forces as convenient proxies.
He launched naked aggression weeks after ousting Ukraine's legitimate government - installing putschist Nazi thugs replacing it.
They tolerate no opposition. They imprison or murder anyone challenging their authority.
Donbass freedom fighters reject fascist rule. They want Ukraine governed democratically.
They deserve universal support. All Donbass residents paid dearly for wanting fundamental freedoms.
Their struggle continues - perhaps for years. Fascists in Washington and Kiev don't wage wars to quit.
Blackwater Convictions Ignore US High Crimes Against Iraq
by Stephen Lendman
On September 16, 2007, US hired Blackwater mercenaries murdered 17 Iraqi civilians in Baghdad's Nisour Square.
Without provocation, they opened fire on cars carrying families.
They had little reason to think they'd be held accountable. Washington grants so-called private military contractors (PMCs) blanket immunity.
Paul Bremer's Order 17 authorized it. The exception proves the rule.
At the time of the slaughter, AFP said Blackwater personnel shot recklessly "at everything that moved with a machine gun and even with a grenade launcher (as well as from two hovering helicopters)."
Ed Miliband And The Jews
By Gilad Atzmon
Just a few month ago, in a speech in front of the Labour Friends Of Israel Lobby group, Ed Miliband - the Labour party’s current leader, produced one of the most embarrassing in the history of modern British politics:
“I want you to know”, Miliband told The Lobby, “that if I become Prime Minister in less than a year’s time, I will be proud to do so as a friend of Israel, a Jew and, most of all, someone who feels so proud to be part of the community gathered here today.” (http://press.labour.org.uk/post/89056233474/ed-miliband-speech-to-labour-friends-of-israel)
Famed German Author Gunter Grass Dies at Age 87
by Stephen Lendman
Famed German writer, author, playwright, sculptor, artist, and Nobel laureate Grass was considered Germany's most celebrated literary figure during his lifetime.
In 1999, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Committee members said his "frolicsome black fables portray the forgotten face of history."
They credited his first novel, "The Tin Drum," with restoring honor to German literature "after decades of linguistic and moral destruction."
It "comes to grips with the enormous task of reviewing contemporary history by recalling the disavowed and the forgotten: the victims, losers and lies that people wanted to forget because they had once believed in them," they said.
Conflict Rages in Donbass
by Stephen Lendman
It bears repeating what other articles stressed. Donbass is Obama's war - using Ukraine's military, Nazi-infested volunteer battalions and imported paramilitaries to do his dirty work.
Geneva, Minsk I and II ceasefire agreements failed. Fighting never stopped. After Minsk II, it slowed - giving Kiev time to regroup and rearm after being routed in battle.
US special forces and other combat troops are involved - on the pretext of training Ukrainian forces.
Provocative US military deployments and exercises close to Russia's borders raise the stakes for direct confrontation.
Since conflict began last spring, Washington supplied Kiev with heavy weapons, intelligence and other active support.
Famed Uruguayan Author/Political Critic Eduardo Galeano Dies at Age 74
by Stephen Lendman
A sad day - losing two literary giants at the same time, Galeano and Germany's Gunter Grass discussed in a separate article.
Galeano lost his struggle with lung cancer. His weekly publication Brecha confirmed his death.
He's considered one of Latin America's most distinguished authors. His works include 35 books.
Perhaps his most notable achievement was his Open Veins of Latin America - Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent.
In 2009, it became a US bestseller after Hugo Chavez gave Obama a copy. Its message taught him nothing.
Its brilliance set a standard for historical Latin American scholarship.
Updating Israel's Political Persecution of Palestinian Lawmaker Khalida Jarrar
By Stephen Lendman
Israel considers belonging to the wrong political parties a crime. Free expression is criminalized when speaking forthrightly about ruthless persecution of Palestinian rights. Rogue states operate this way. Israel ranks with the worst - a fascist/racist/apartheid police state by any standard, guilty of the highest of high crimes since inception.
A previous article discussed Jarrar. She's a highly respected Palestinian Legislative Council member, a civil society leader, and PLC Prisoners Commission head. She chairs the Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association.
On April 2, Israeli goon squad thugs abducted her pre-dawn. She's lawlessly administratively detained uncharged and untried.
Mandarin for the Warlords: The Harvard School of Empire Building
James Petras
Introduction
Harvard professor Joseph Nye, a former senior Pentagon functionary, is one of the longest serving and most influential advisers to US empire building officials. Nye has recently re-affirmed the primacy of the US as a world power in his latest book, Is the American Century Over? And his article, ‘The American Century will survive the Rise of China’ (Financial Times, 3/26/15, p. 7). These publications are in line with his earlier book, Bound to Lead, and his longstanding view that the US is not a declining world power, that it retains ‘supremacy’ even in the face of China’s rise to global power.
Nye’s views of US world supremacy have served to encourage Washington to wage multiple wars ; his sanguine view of US economic power has allowed policy-makers to ignore fundamental weaknesses in the US economy and to overestimate US power, based on what he dubs, ‘soft’ and ‘military’ power.
