End Wars or They'll End Us
by Stephen Lendman
Never in human history has it been more urgent to stop wars. US-dominated NATO's rage to wage them.
Ongoing in multiple theaters. Direct and proxy conflicts. Others awaiting to be launched. Risking nuclear war with Russia.
Humanity's survival is up for grabs. Stopping this madness matters more than ever. Ridding America of imperial war hawks risking mass annihilation.
Numerous anti-war groups exist worldwide. Including ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism). Also called International ANSWER.
Palestine's Pinochet?
by Stephen Lendman
Mohammad Dahlan may become Palestine's next leader. Its Pinochet if anointed.
A former Fatah leader/enforcer in Gaza. Once Arafat's national security advisor.
A ruthless corrupted thug by any standard. Opposite what Palestinians deserve.
On January 3, the Times of Israel headlined "Abbas rival pans PA head, vows to form united opposition."
Calls "failed Palestinian UN Security Council proposal a 'hasty, reckless' disaster."
Expelled from Fatah in 2010. Considered a legitimate contender to replace Abbas. Especially given US/Israeli support.
Obama: How Many Kids Did You Kill Today?
by Stephen Lendman
In the 1960s, Lyndon Johnson was heckled this way. Anti-war activists targeted his Southeast Asian war they wanted ended.
Obama way outdid his predecessors. With two years left to go. Bombing 7 countries in 6 years. More on this below.
Plus subversion in unknown numbers of others. From its empire of bases. Its global embassies infested with CIA agents.
FBI ones operating abroad. Diplomats serving its imperial interests. Drone bombers able to hit targets anywhere. Kill on demand.
Perhaps Obama has new targets in mind. Angering China. Recklessly challenging Russia. Risking the unthinkable.
Governing more repressively than any previous administration. Continuing where George Bush left off. Adding his own extremist policies.
Making America more than ever unfit to live in. What'll it look like when he steps down in January 2017?
Who'll Sanction the Sanctioner?
by Stephen Lendman
America imposes sanctions recklessly. Like street bullies shoving around anyone they please. Because who'll stop them?
Washington acts lawlessly. Against targeted states. For political reasons. With no international law permitted authority to do so.
Security Council members alone may impose sanctions. Not individual nations against others.
US veto power has final say. Preventing other SC members from targeting America. Reason enough to bar countries from voting on issues relating to themselves.
Who ever heard of defendants sitting on juries in its own trials? Which ones ever had acquittal authority by veto power?
No nation more warrants sanctioning then America. None more guilty of high crimes against humanity. Genocidal ones.
Czech President Says ‘Only Poorly Informed People’ Don’t Know About Ukraine Coup
Eric Zuesse
The Czech Republic’s President Milos Zeman said, in an interview, in the January 3rd edition of Prague’s daily newspaper Pravo, that Czechs who think of the overthrow of Ukraine’s President Viktor Yanukovych, on 22 February 2014, as having been like Czechoslovakia’s authentically democratic “Velvet Revolution” are seeing it in a profoundly false light, because, (as Russian Television translated his statement into English) "Maidan was not a democratic revolution.” He said that this is the reason why Ukraine now is in a condition of “civil war,” in which the residents of the Donbass region in Ukraine’s southeast have broken away from the Ukrainian Government.
INF Infowar
by Stephen Lendman
The 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) formally is called The Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Elimination of Their Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles. It mandates eliminating nuclear and conventional ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges from 500 - 5,500 kilometers (300 - 3,400 miles).
Treaty provisions currently apply to America, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Excluding Pentagon naval nuclear missiles.
As well as arsenals of nuclear armed Britain, China, France, India, Israel, North Korea and Pakistan.
Washington and Moscow accuse each other of INF violations. US administration allegations cite a Russian ballistic missile Moscow says has intercontinental range.
As well as Russia's R-500 land-based cruise missile. Able to destroy ballistic missile and air defense systems.
Including sea-based Aegis BMD ones. Posing a potential serious threat to Russian security.
How Bloomberg ‘News’ Lies
Eric Zuesse
On December 31st, Josh Rogin of Bloomberg ‘News’ headlined “Inside Obama’s Secret Outreach to Russia,” and his opening sentence ‘reported’ on “the fact that Russian President Vladimir Putin has shown little interest in … halting his aggression in neighboring Ukraine.” That ‘reporter’ from Bloomberg ‘News’ was ‘reporting’ from only sources inside the U.S. Administration — only from individuals who are hired by and who represent Barack Obama, none who are hired by and who represent Obama’s enemy Vladimir Putin; and so the question naturally arises as to whether Rogin and Bloomberg ‘News’ are ‘reporting’ propaganda, or are they instead reporting news (as is claimed by Bloomberg ‘News’)?
Let's not kid ourselves: The UNSC will not give us a state
By Khalid Amayreh in Occupied East Jerusalem
It is really lamentable that the Palestinian Authority (PA) continues to manage the Palestinian Question disastrously.
The latest failed effort to get the UN Security Council (UNSC) to designate a time-ceiling for ending the decades-old Israeli occupation is an expression of the disastrous mismanagement of our just cause by the PA.
It simply shows that the PA neither learns from others' mistakes nor from its own.
The UN, after all, has had more than 60 years to give the Palestinians any semblance of justice, but to no avail. The reason behind this monumental moral failure is simple. The world order is not based on justice and morality. It is rather based on military might and political power.
Perfect Storm Conditions Threaten Ukraine
by Stephen Lendman
A previous article discussed Ukraine heading for disaster. Facing fascist dictatorship. Civil war. Mass impoverishment.
Extreme deprivation. Troubled nuclear reactors. Possible bankruptcy. Even economic collapse.
A nation rife with problems. Plundered for profit. IMF-style complicit with corrupt Kiev officials.
In October, the Russia Insider web site headlined "Organ Harvesting in Ukraine: Troubling Revelations."
Saying "(b)odies of dead Ukrainian soldiers found with their stomachs cut open and organs missing."
Their hearts, kidneys and livers harvested. For huge sums recipients willingly pay.
Most Ukrainian Soldiers Don't Want to Fight
by Stephen Lendman
Ukraine is America's newest colony. A dagger targeting Russia's heartland. Run by fascist putschists. With no legitimacy whatever.
Waging war on their own people. Risking greater central European conflict. Perhaps direct confrontation with Russia. Supported by US-dominated NATO.
Dirty war against Donbas continues. Despite illegitimate oligarch president Petro Poroshenko's "regime of silence."
A US stooge. Installed to serve Western interests. At the expense of his own people. Impoverished before Washington's coup.
