China Warns U.S. to Stop Its Ukrainian Proxy War Against Russia
Eric Zuesse
A much-ignored huge news report from Reuters on Friday, February 27th, was headlined "Chinese diplomat tells West to consider Russia's security concerns over Ukraine.”
China’s Ambassador to Belgium (which has the capital of the EU) said that the “nature and root cause” of the Ukrainian conflict is “the West,” and that "The West should abandon the zero-sum mentality, and take the real security concerns of Russia into consideration.”
By “real security concerns,” he is clearly referring to NATO’s expansion right up to Russia’s border, and America’s surrounding Russia with U.S. military bases, now inceasingly including the most strategic of Russia’s bordering countries: Ukraine.
Was Russian Opposition Rabble-Rouser Boris Nemtsov Assassinated By A CIA/MI6/MOSSAD Black Operation?
Another False Flag Assassination To Blame On Putin’s Russia As A Pretext For Starting WW3
Quite tragically, Boris Nemtsov, a very well-known opposition politician in Russia, was gunned down yesterday on the streets of Moscow within view of the Kremlin itself.
Unfortunately, very few alive today are cognizant of the specific trigger event which literally started World War I.
It was the false flag assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, the presumptive heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg in Sarajevo that lit the Balkan tinderbox, which then provoked the full-blown World War I.
[Both] were shot dead in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, one of a group of six assassins (five Serbs and one Bosniak) coordinated by Danilo Ilić, a Bosnian Serb and a member of the Black Hand secret society. The political objective of the assassination was to break off Austria-Hungary’s South Slav provinces so they could be combined into a Yugoslavia. The assassins’ motives were consistent with the movement that later became known as Young Bosnia. The assassination led directly to the First World War when Austria-Hungary subsequently issued an ultimatum to the Kingdom of Serbia, which was partially rejected. Austria-Hungary then declared war.

Fifty Years of Imperial Wars: Results and Perspectives
James Petras
Introduction
Over the past 50 years the US and European powers have engaged in countless imperial wars throughout the world. The drive for world supremacy has been clothed in the rhetoric of “world leadership”, the consequences have been devastating for the peoples targeted. The biggest, longest and most numerous wars have been carried out by the United States. Presidents from both parties direct and preside over this quest for world power. The ideology which informs imperialism varies from “anti-communism”in the past to “anti-terrorism”today.
Washington’s drive for world domination has used and combined many forms of warfare, including military invasions and occupations; proxy mercenary armies and military coups; financing political parties, NGO’s and street mobs to overthrow duly constituted governments. The driving forces in the imperial state , behind the quest for world power, vary with the geographic location and social economic composition of the targeted countries.
Making Sense of Obama’s Foreign Policy
Eric Zuesse
On February 22nd, NBC’s “Meet the Press” presented reporter Richard Engel in a terrific four-minute documentary on Barack Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s catastrophic policy-results in Libya. (You can watch it by clicking on that link.) The segment concluded that Obama and his Administration (including Hillary Clinton) didn’t know where they were going in this operation. That was a ‘kindly’ interpretation, but Obama isn’t really so stupid. He’s a leader, with a clear vision of what he wants, and he subordinates everything to it. Whereas Obama did indeed destroy Libya and (like G.W. Bush’s venture in Iraq) enormously boost Islamic extremism and terrorism (and the main expert that Engel interviewed in that segment has written extensively on this regarding specifically the Libyan case, here and here), Obama knew what his goal was, and he achieved it there, even though it wasn’t to boost Islamic extremism, nor was it to destroy Libya; he actually had his eye on a different ball altogether. Something is an even bigger concern to him than fighting terrorism, or than the welfare of people in Libya or any other foreign country; and this is consistently what guides his decisions in international affairs.
Putin Bashing Crowd in Overdrive Over Nemtsov Killing
by Stephen Lendman
Throughout his tenure, irresponsible Western officials and complicit media scoundrels bashed him relentlessly. Any excuse will do.
Stuff made up out of whole cloth is held against him. Whatever he does is wrong no matter how right.
His months of efforts to save Europe from the scourge of more war is treated like he intends to wage it. The reason, of course, is his opposition to US imperial adventurism. Its plan to colonize planet earth, steal its resources, and enslave its people as serfs paid poverty or sub-poverty wages.
To let Western monied interests and war-makers control everything for their own benefit at the expense of all others.
NYT Editors Support Fascist Extremism
by Stephen Lendman
Times editors deplore democracy. They consider sham US elections legitimate ones.
Truth is the mortal enemy they fear most. They support the world's worst tinpot despots as long as they're US allies.
They glorify perpetual war in the name of nonexistent peace. They're comfortable with letting Wall Street run things.
They turn a blind eye to Israel's worst crimes. They consider cold-blooded serial killer Netanyahu a legitimate leader.
They support every dirty war of aggression without mercy Washington wages.They call them liberating struggles.
They consider carving up whole continents for profit economic development. They call wage slavery job creation. They want America's social contract abolished.
They ignore fundamental international, constitutional and US statute laws in justifying Washington's genocidal crimes.
They believe might makes right. They feature managed news misinformation rubbish instead of hard truths on issues mattering most.
It bears repeating what other articles stressed. All the new they claim fit to print isn't fit to read. They support Ukrainian Nazis Washington installed to replace democrats. Throughout months of conflict, they backed their mass slaughter of their own citizens.
Kiev Junta Ascendancy to Power Big Lies
by Stephen Lendman
It's no secret most governments lie. Some much more than others. Washington and other Western ones hugely on issues mattering most.
Kiev putschists told Ukrainians whoppers. Their policies are polar opposite promises made right down the line.
They lied saying they'd "reduc(e) the level of political and societal tension."
Fact: They elevated it to levels highest in modern Ukraine history.

2016 — A Critical Year! The American People Must Act NOW … Or Face The Consequences Of Electing Treasonous Leadership
Ultimatum To America:Change From Within Or Be Changed From Without
Worldwide Mandate For Global Transformation:
The USA Can Lead The Way Or Get Out Of The Way
State of the Nation
Truly, the current planetary civilization is approaching a critical evolutionary juncture. The human race has been presented with the proverbial fork in the road with two distinctly different paths to choose from. As it is now well past a minute to midnight, the importance of choosing the correct path has never been so urgent.
Not only is the very future of humankind at great risk, the fate of Planet Earth hangs in the balance. Accordingly, there is now a palpable and universal sense of urgency which prods every person of conscience to get with the new REVOLUTIONARY program. That program is quite simple, and easy for everyone to understand:
Either we choose to be a part of the solution,or we choose to be a part of the problem.
At the end of the day, each and every nation and individual, is challenged to consider their degree of both national and personal responsibility concerning the rapidly deteriorating state of the world. Were a critical mass of residents of this planet to faithfully contemplate this single challenge, humanity would soon experience a sea change toward a higher collective consciousness. Attaining this expanded and enlightened awareness is now necessary if Planet Earth (and her human inhabitants) are to successfully navigate through the eye of the needle known as Evolutionary Ascension.
Gitmo in Chicago
by Stephen Lendman
What London's Guardian reported on Tuesday is shocking, disturbing, yet unsurprising given the scourge of neocon fascist governance in America.
Washington's war on humanity at home and abroad should be a wake up call for everyone. Wars without end rage against one nation after another.
Independent ones are targeted for regime change. Washington's goal is total colonization of planet earth, stealing its resources and enslaving its people.
US cities are virtual battlegrounds like never before. America is unsafe to live in.
Washington provides police nationwide with enormous amounts of combat weapons, related equipment and supplies - making them virtual military units.
Nemtsov Murder: Anti-Putin False Flag
by Stephen Lendman
Overnight Friday, opposition politician/Putin antagonist Boris Nemtsov was shot and killed in central Moscow.
Tass said he was "shot dead (by) four shots from a handgun from a car passing by him…"
He was RPR-Parnas party co-chair, a Yaroslavi Oblast regional parliament member, and Solidarnost co-founder/co-chair - modeled after CIA-financed anti-communist Lech Walesa's Polish Solidarnosc.
In the 1990s, he held various government posts - including first deputy prime minister and deputy prime minister under Boris Yeltsin.
He served in Russia's lower house State Duma and upper house Federation Council. He ignored clear US responsibility for Ukrainian crisis conditions. He lied calling Donbass "Vladimir Putin's war."
Before Washington's coup, he said "(w)e support Ukraine's course toward European integration…By supporting Ukraine, we support ourselves." Along with Aleksey Navalny, Garry Kasparov, Vladimir Ryzhkov, and other Putin opponents, he had close Western ties.
He got State Department funding through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). It wages war on democracy worldwide.
