Washington Covertly Arming Ukraine
by Stephen Lendman
Repeated administration/Pentagon Big Lies claim otherwise. Saying only non-lethal aid supplied.
Including communications equipment. Body armor. Night vision goggles. Humvees. Radar. Counter-mortar detection units. Binoculars. Small boats. Various other gear.
Kiev is infested with CIA, FBI, US special forces and various other so-called Washington advisors. Directly involved in aiding, abetting and directing Donbas fighting.
Pentagon spokesman Admiral John Kirby lied saying:
"Nothing has changed about the non-lethal assistance that we continue to flow to Ukrainian armed forces and security forces."
Washington "continue(s) to focus on non-lethal assistance…" False! More on this below.
Trigger-Happy Israelis: Profile of State-Sponsored Terrorism
by Stephen Lendman
The latest incident involves Italian solidarity activist Prodo Corsi
A previous article discussed Amnesty International's (AI) report titled "Trigger-Happy: Israel's Use of Excessive Force in the West Bank." It begins saying:
"Out of nowhere many soldiers jumped out and ambushed Samir. They shot him first in the leg, yet he managed to run away towards the village."
"But how far can an injured child run? Twenty, maybe 30, metres? They could have easily arrested him, especially when he was injured, but instead they shot him in the back with live ammunition."
"To me, this is premeditated murder." Killing 16-year old Samir was no random incident. Israel's entire history reflects endless bloodshed. Crimes of war, against humanity and genocide. Ongoing for decades. Trigger-happy and then some. The latest incident involves Italian solidarity activist Prodo Corsi.
Over-the-Top Israeli Policies
Stephen Lendman
Israel is a serial lawbreaker. A state sponsor of terrorism. A criminal enterprise. "(A) state of child killers and land robbers," according to one European parliamentarian.
Multiple incidents occur daily. Including attacking Palestinians without just cause. Invading their communities.
Destroying their property. Kidnapping Palestinian men, women and children. Political arrests and imprisonments. Cold-blooded murder.
Some incidents are more outrageous than others. Many are crimes of war and against humanity. Ruthlessness defines Israeli policy.
America operates the same way. Both countries want a special Fourth Geneva Convention blocked. For good reason.
Genocide and THE THANKSGIVING MYTH
By S. Brian Willson
“Enlightened and Christian Warfare in the 19th Century–Massacre of Indian Women and Children in Idaho” published in “Frank Leslie’s Illustrated,” August 1868.
The Defining and Enabling Experience of Our “Civilization”
As we again plan to celebrate what US “Americans”call Thanksgiving, let us pause for a moment of reflection. Let us recognize that accounts of the first Thanksgiving are mythological, and that the holiday is actually a grotesque celebration of our arrogant ethnocentrism built on genocide.
Heading Toward Possible Global Conflict
by Stephen Lendman
Militarism, hubris and overreach define America. Wrecking it. Heading it for full-blown tyranny and ruin.
Permanent wars rage. With no end in sight. When no enemies exist. Except invented ones.
Waged by the most secretive intrusive government in US history. Its most repressive. Most ruthless.
Governed by diktat authority. Effective one-party rule. Federal courts and Congress rubber-stamping policies mattering most.
Including imperial adventurism. Corporate empowerment. Monied interests running things. Unprecedented concentrated wealth and power.
Big Brother surveillance. Police state lawlessness. Out-of-control state terror. Corporate controlled managed news misinformation.
Endemic corruption. Incestuous business/government ties. Flaunting the notion of government of, by and for everyone equitably and just.
Increasingly a nation of haves and have-nots. Rulers and serfs. Middle America disappearing in plain sight. Freedom an endangered species.
Monied Interests Have Lots to Give Thanks For
by Stephen Lendman
Too few others in the land of plenty. Democracy in America is pure fantasy.
None whatever exists. Monied interests run things. Ordinary people don't matter.
The late Carroll Quigley wrote in his book titled, "Tragedy and Hope:"
"(T)he powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole."
"This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences."
Benefitting handsomely at the expense of nations and popular interests. Wall Street crooks top the corporate pecking order.
Transforming America into an unprecedented money-making racket. Facilitated by complicit government officials. Making money the old-fashioned way.
Israeli Children Brainwashed to Hate Arabs, Become Warriors
by Stephen Lendman
Decades of Arab-Israel discord produced seven full-scale wars, three major Gaza conflicts, two Intifadas, and daily state-sponsored violence throughout Occupied Palestine.
Palestinians live in terror. Unsure each day if they'll live or die. Remain free or be imprisoned. Victimized by Israeli ruthlessness.
Racism is longstanding. Israeli children are taught to hate Arabs. Textbooks justify waging war.
Arabs described as hostile, violent, deviant, cruel, immoral, bloodthirsty, vengeful and unfair. Jews called industrious, righteous, trustworthy and brave.
Eretz Yisrael their exclusive homeland. Based on biblical notions of original inhabitants. Israeli textbooks teaching about "a land without people for a people without land." Making the desert bloom.
Arabs are vilified for not being Jews. Tolerance isn't Israel's long suit. It's is a modern-day Sparta. Militarism reflects daily life. Taught young children from kindergarten.
Israeli Ruthlessness 101
by Stephen Lendman
Israel has more crimes on its rap sheet than mere mortals can count. Going back well before its so-called War of Independence.
Continuing multiple times daily. Week after week. Month after month. Year after year. By rogue leaders and likeminded officials.
More extremist now than earlier. Mocking rule of law principles and then some. Committing slow-motion genocide against millions of Palestinians. Ludicrously claiming democratic credentials. Enacting one racist law after another. The latest by extremist cabinet ministers.
"(D)efining the identity of the State of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people, and to anchor the values of the state of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state in the spirit of the principles of the Declaration of the Independence."
Rewarding Israel for High Crimes Against Peace
by Stephen Lendman
Decades of Israeli crimes reflect pure evil. Including genocidal mass slaughter. Repeated high crimes of war and against humanity.
Willfully targeting noncombatant men, women and children. Ethnic cleansing. Mass destruction.
Land theft. Settlement construction. Home bulldozings. Targeted assassinations. Political imprisonments. Torture. Including against women and young children.
Rape and other forms of sexual abuse. Resource theft. Apartheid. Racist discrimination. Violating virtually all humanitarian and human rights laws.
Other international laws. Its own laws. Its High Court rulings. Contempt for Islam, Arab rights, culture and heritage.
Abhorring peace and stability. Prioritizing militarism, belligerence and wars of aggression.
Israeli Police State Ruthlessness
by Stephen Lendman
Israel gives police state lawlessness, injustice and contempt for democratic values new meaning. Previous articles explained.
Rule of law principles don't matter. Might trumps right. State terror is official policy. So is anything goes.
Crackdowns enforce social control. Arrests, imprisonments, torture, ill-treatment, and other forms of abuse persist.
Civil and human rights consistently violated. Legitimate resistance called terrorism.
International law recognized self-determination called unacceptable. Murder committed with impunity. Young children abused like adults.
Jews alone have rights. Longstanding war on Islam persists. Racist laws are commonplace. Fundamental Palestinian rights mattering most are denied.
