Kissinger Geopolitics
by Stephen Lendman
At age 91, maybe senility set in. Or a time of reflection. At the same time, trying to have things both ways. More on this below.
Nobel Peace Prize. Exceeded perhaps only by Obama.
The scope of their crimes is breathtaking. Kissinger's rap sheet includes:
Kissinger was one of the most notorious war criminals ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Exceeded perhaps only by Obama.

Ukraine Receives New Weapons
Eric Zuesse
Here are the new tanks
The Government of Ukraine held a ceremony on Saturday, December 6th, with the country’s President, Petro Poroshenko, reviewing newly donated weapons, from undisclosed donors.
According to the official announcement, “The Armed Forces' units received tanks Т-64BМ ‘Bulat’, tanks Т-64 BV, Т-72 B1, Т-72UA, Т-72A, BТR-3е and BТR-4е, self-propelled artillery 2C1 and helicopters Mi-8 and Mi-2. The President personally inspected all.” Poroshenko said: "We are providing the troops with new armored vehicles, precise anti-tank means, counterbattery means, means of communication and protection systems. At the same time, we are holding negotiations with our partners on the procurement of modern weapons that are not produced in Ukraine.”
Israel's Gaza War Continues
by Stephen Lendman
State terror is official Israeli policy. Gaza war never ended. Israel breached ceasefire terms straightaway. Repeated violations occur.
Agreements it signs aren't worth the paper they're written on. Rogue states operate this way.
In late August, both sides agreed to open-ended Operation Protective Edge (OPE) ceasefire terms.
Peace talks resuming in Cairo for final resolution. Nothing whatever was accomplished. Peace hangs in the balance.
Israel's war on Gaza continues. Terms it agreed to proved meaningless. Including opening border crossings. They're largely closed. Same as pre-war.
Israel blocks "the rapid entry of humanitarian aid." Construction materials for rebuilding aren't forthcoming.
Obama v. Venezuela's Maduro
by Stephen Lendman
Washington considers Venezuela its main hemispheric adversary. Concerned about the threat of a good example.
Shaming its northern neighbor. A sham democracy. Repressive. Hugely unequal. Belligerent. Waging war on freedom. Threatening world peace. Venezuela is polar opposite.
In an April 2014 New York Times op-ed, President Nicolas Maduro explained forthrightly. Saying "Venezuelans are proud of our democracy."
"We have built a participatory democratic movement from the grass roots that has ensured that both power and resources are equitably distributed among our people."
The Rise of German Imperialism and the Phony “Russian Threat”
James Petras
Introduction
The principle Nazi ideological prop that secured massive financial and political support from Germany’s leading industrialists was the Communist and Soviet threat. The main Nazi military drive, absorbing two-thirds of its best troops, was directed eastward at conquering and destroying Russia. The ‘Russian Threat’ justified Nazi Germany’s conquest and occupation of the Ukraine, the Balkans, Eastern Europe and the Baltic states, with the aid of a substantial proportion of local Nazi collaborators.
After Germany’s defeat , division and disarmament, and with the extension of Soviet power, the US reinstated the Nazi industrial and banking giants, officials and intelligence operatives.At first they were engaged in rebuilding their domestic economy and consolidating political power, in collaboration with the US military occupation forces.
U.S. House Votes 98% to Donate U.S. Weapons to Ukraine; U.S. Public Is 67% Against. Is this democracy?
Eric Zuesse
In a remarkable disjunction between voters and their elected (supposed) representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives, the members of the House voted on December 4th, by 411 “Yea” to 10 “Nay,” to donate U.S. weapons to the bankrupt Ukrainian Government, which is engaged in trying to eliminate the civilian population of the portion of Ukraine that had voted 90% for the former Ukrainian President whom the U.S. Government (CIA, State Department, USAID, etc.) had overthrown in a violent coup in February of this year.

Political Prisoners in America and Israel
by Stephen Lendman
Thousands languish in their gulags. Among the worst worldwide. For supporting human rights. Voicing dissent. Opposing what no one should support.
Denouncing police state practices. Wanting brutalized people liberated. Urging others to get active for freedom.
Demand fundamental change. For rights everyone deserves. Affirmed under international law.
Real democracy. Not fantasy illusion. Government of, by and for everyone equitably.
America and Israel oppose these notions. Criminalize them irresponsibly. Subject offenders to brutalizing treatment.
Risking Possible Bloodbath in Palestine
by Stephen Lendman
Persecuted people take only so much before resisting. What begins slowly can become mass rebellion.
Palestine had two intifadas. Some observers call current unrest the beginning of a third. BDS support targets Israel economically.
From the grassroots. A battle at a time. Achieving important successes. Hitting Israel where it hurts most.
Polar opposite Western complicity. Partnering with Israeli crimes. Atrocities too serious to ignore.
Virtually every imaginable civil and human rights abuse. Against millions of defenseless Palestinians.
Ukraine: Fascist Dictatorship Masquerading As Democracy
by Stephen Lendman
For the first time since WW II, overt fascists hold real power in Europe. Radicalized ultranationalists. Anti-Semites. Hate-mongers.
Cold-blooded killers. Whitewashing high crimes. A puppet regime. America's newest colony.
Mocking democratic values. Violating fundamental rule of law principles. Unaccountably.
Western leaders won't explain. Nor media scoundrels. Hard truths are buried. Big Lies substitute.
Our Beautiful Earth is Dying
by Raymond Ponzini
Those who own and control the banking systems and corporations, those who control the governments and fight the wars for profit, those who are driven by greed and power madness are destroying our earth. The corporate capitalist paradigm of endless extraction from the planet and every person and every living thing will continue until the ecosystem is irreparably damaged and can no longer sustain life.
The destruction of our planet began with the detonation of the first atomic bomb. The psychopaths who rule over poor enslaved humankind and their fragile beautiful planet, care only for power and profit. They have since tested over a thousands atomic bombs showering mostly the northern hemisphere with radiation, which has contributed to cancer and birth defects.
