Kiev Junta Plans Escalated War
by Stephen Lendman
On Saturday, Contact Group representatives met in Minsk. Swiss diplomat Heidi Tagliavini represented the OSCE.
Russian ambassador to Ukraine, Mikhail Zurabov, represented Moscow. Former President Leonid Kuchma represented Kiev.
Donetsk People's Republic (DRP) parliament Speaker Denis Pushilin and Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) chief negotiator Vladislav Deinego participated.
Talks accomplished nothing. Kiev wants war, not peace. More on this below.
The Ideology of the New Ukraine
Eric Zuesse
The ideology of the new, post-coup, Ukraine, is the ideology of its leaders. Above all, Dmitriy Yarosh, the founder of Right Sector, is that; but so too are Andrei Beletsky, the founder of Azov Battalion; and Andriy Parubiy and Oleh Tyahnybok, the co-founders of the “Social Nationalist Party of Ukraine,” the Party which, at the CIA’s urging, changed its name in 2004 to “Freedom” or “Svoboda,” in order to sell it better in the West. All of these leaders are leaders in this new Government, but not at its nominal top, because the U.S. regime doesn’t want the ties of its new Government to Hitler’s Nazi Party to be so obvious to Americans or to Europeans — it would be bad PR, especially because the United States lost so many men fighting against Hitler’s forces, and against the fascisms and racisms of Tojo and of Mussolini, all of which (and especially Hitler’s views) are basically boiled down here in the statement quoted below (only replacing “Ukraine” where Hitler said “German,” because this is a, not a member of the original nazi party, which was the National Socialist Party of Germany).
Medical Neglect in Israel's Gulag
by Stephen Lendman
Conditions for Palestinians in Israeli prisons are horrific by any standard. Some of the worst anywhere.
Including children treated like adults. Brutalizing longterm isolation for any reason or none at all.
Severe overcrowding. Poor ventilation and sanitation. Inadequate clothing.
Wooden planks with thin filthy mattresses and blankets. Inadequate food in terms of quality, quantity and conformance with dietary requirements.
Restricted or no access to family members, friends or counsel. Poor or denied medical care when most needed.
Nuland at Brookings
by Stephen Lendman
Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland is one of many hardcore neocons infesting Obama's administration.
On January 27, she spoke at Washington's Brookings Institution. An elitist think tank supporting wealth, power and privilege. An establishment organization representing America's dark side.
Deploring peace. Promoting war. Featuring speakers like Nuland discussing "unity in challenging times. Building on transatlantic resolve." More on her comments below.
A previous article explained her hardcore background. A foreign service official for Democrat and Republican administrations.
No Breakthroughs in Syrian Peace Talks
by Stephen Lendman
None were expected. Conflict continues. Ongoing since March 2011. Syria is Obama's war. There's nothing civil about it.
Death squad insurgents are US proxies. Recruited, armed, funded, trained and directed by CIA operatives and Pentagon special forces.
So-called IS, Nusra Front, Al Qaeda and other takfiri terrorists are imported from dozens of countries.
Longstanding US/Israeli plans call for regime change. Replacing Assad with pro-Western stooge governance.
Mobilized & Winning, Now It’s Time to Escalate, The ‘Movement of Movements’ against Fast Tracking the TPP has the power to win
by Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers
Since the President’s State of the Union message where he announced his plan to push corporate trade agreements and seek Fast Track trade promotion authority, the movement against Fast Track, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and globalized trade has grown. Instead of the bump in support that Obama expected after the State of the Union, opposition has increased inside Congress and in the grass roots.
Heading for War with Russia?
by Stephen Lendman
Ukraine is the epicenter of possible European war. Ongoing events should scare everyone.
Kiev's war on Donbas rages. Area freedom fighters continue routing its military. It's desperate for more Western support.
Wanting greater numbers of US-led NATO boots on the ground than are already involved in fighting.
Three recent regime false flags didn't achieve Kiev's objective. Perhaps something major is planned. A Kiev 9/11.
Big enough to embroil Europe in war. Meaning East/West confrontation. America v. Russia. Possible nuclear war.
Salaita Sues University of Illinois
by Stephen Lendman
Previous articles discussed Professor Steven Salaita academic lynching. Hired by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) to a tenured faculty position.
Fired for criticizing Israeli aggression on Gaza. Supporting Palestinian rights. Chancellor Phyllis Wise lied claiming otherwise.
At the time, Columbia University Professor Bruce Robbins called his firing "an outrage to anyone who cares about academic freedom or simple human decency."
"In punishing him for speaking up by taking away his job, Chancellor Wise has inscribed her name in a shameful list that includes Joseph McCarthy, among others."
On January 29, Salaita filed suit in federal court. Represented by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and Chicago civil rights law firm Loevy & Loevy.
Islamic State Recruiter Admits Getting Funds from America
by Stephen Lendman
Call it one of many US dirty secrets. Washington covertly recruits, funds, arms, trains, and directs extremist Islamic State and other Takfiri terrorists.
The same ones it lies about waging war on. Uses them as proxies against its adversaries.
Notably during Obama's tenure against Libya's Gaddafi. Currently against Assad in Syria. Ahead against future enemies to be named later.
Iran very much in Washington's cross hairs. Longstanding US regime change plans remain firm. RT International, Fars News and LiveLeak reported the same story. Calling Yousaf Al Salafi an IS Pakistani commander.
In detention in Pakistan, he admitted getting funds from America. On January 22, he and two associates were arrested in Lahore, said AFP.
Blowback Against Israeli State Terror
by Stephen Lendman
Israel claims a divine right to attack any nation, group or individual it chooses with impunity. Considers naked aggression self-defense.
Justifiable self-defense is called terrorism. On January 18, Israeli helicopter gunship fire killed Hezbollah military leader Imad Mughniyeh in Syria's Quneitra province.
Located in Golan's demilitarized zone. The site of heavy clashes between Syrian forces and Takfiri terrorists.
Mughniyeh and five other Hezbollah fighters were killed. Plus six Iranians. Including General Mohammed Allahdaddi.
