Genocide and THE THANKSGIVING MYTH

November 28th, 2014

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

November 28th, 2014

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

November 28th, 2014

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

November 28th, 2014

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

November 27th, 2014

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."

November 27th, 2014

by Stephen Lendman

Decades of Israeli crimes reflect pure evil. Including genocidal mass slaughter. Repeated high crimes of war and against humanity.

Israeli Police State Ruthlessness

November 27th, 2014

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.

Unaccountable Israeli Settler Criminality

November 27th, 2014

by Stephen Lendman

It's systemic. Including vandalism against Palestinian mosques, schools, property, land and crops. Torching them. Uprooting trees.

Violence. Including beatings. At times murder. Against Palestinian men, women and children.

With impunity. Israeli security forces doing nothing to protect targeted Palestinians. Or maintain public order.

Disregarding an Israeli High Court ruling stating:

"Protecting the security and property of the local residents is one of the most basic obligations placed upon the military commander in the field."

Defense officials must "give clear, unequivocal instructions to the forces that are deployed in the field." Must "allocate forces to protect the property of the Palestinian residents."

NATO's Dark Side

November 26th, 2014

by Stephen Lendman

US-led NATO reflects pure evil. Threatening world peace. Seeking global dominance through one ravaged country at a time.

Comprised of over 70 members and partners. Over one-third of world nations. On every continent except Antarctica. Doing America's bidding.

Run by its Deputy Secretary-General, Alexander Vershbow. A former Assistant Defense Secretary for International Security Affairs.

Clinton's National Security Council European Affairs director. A former US ambassador to Russia.

Calling Moscow "more an enemy than partner." Diplomacy isn't his long suit. Intends Alliance measures to counter nonexistent Russian aggression.

Claims it "marks a turning point in decades of (NATO) efforts to draw Moscow closer." Intends stepped up US presence close to its borders. Modernizing its neighbors militarily. "(U)pgrading" joint exercises. "(S)eiz(ing) the opportunity…Creat(ing) the reality on the ground. Accept(ing) membership of aspirant countries."

Fascism in Ukraine

November 26th, 2014

by Stephen Lendman

Washington bears full responsibility. Obama officials elevated fascist putschists to power. Neocon Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland was lead instigator.

US-installed thugs rule lawlessly. They have no legitimacy whatever. They make mafia bosses look saintly by comparison.

Obama's new friends include a rogue's gallery of societal misfits. They represent mob rule. They're militantly anti-democratic.

They tolerate no opposition. They're polar opposite what Ukrainians deserve. Washington offers full support.

One fascist regime backs another. Both operate the same way.

Merriam-Webster calls fascism "a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition."
