Ukraine, Syria, Venezuela and beyond: Beware the Wars of March
By Rick Rozoff
In the 1930s it was a notorious fact the German government of Adolf Hitler chose the month 0f March ( Ides of Mars), to perpetrate its most daring moves in reasserting the nation as a continental power, culminating in the most deadly war in history.
For example:
March 1933: German federal election brings Hitler to power as chancellor
March 1936: Germany remilitarizes the Rhineland in contravention of the Treaty of Versailles
March 1937: The Third Reich’s Condor Legion bombs and attacks Durango, Spain and the next month bombs Guernica
Is there a Story behind the Story of the Rise in Police Shootings?
By Robert Singer

On the left is the blue Toyota Tacoma the two Hispanic women were driving which the police thought looked like a six foot tall African American driving a brown Nissan. On the right is a photo of a police shooting in Times Square.
I think by now it should be obvious to everyone that the police are shooting innocent people and getting away with it. The officers, whose names are rarely disclosed, are put on paid leave while the cities pay out millions of dollars in wrongful death lawsuits.
The US Department of Justice is looking into allegations of systematic harassment and profiling of minorities and low-income residents.
A report by the Police Commission Inspector General in July of 2012 was in response to an increase in the number of times “officers were discharging their weapons” at civilians. The report contradicted Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck’s assertion that the police were under attack by the public. The report was clear that there was no link between the jump in officer-involved shootings and assaults on officers; however, the commission did not offer any possible explanations for the increase in officer-involved shootings. I, of course, have an answer for the following two police shooting questions:
1. Why is the number of unjustified shootings of innocent civilians on the rise?
2. Why aren't the police using excessive force and shooting guilty criminals rather than innocent civilians?
I will be publishing the answers soon. In the interim, I am on the alert for more news on police killings of innocent citizens.
UNFILTERED NEWS from the Reality Zone compiled by G. Edward Griffin endeavors to give us the truth that the mainstream media is “filtering.” Ed’s factual weekly summaries are an antidote to “newspeak”.
In the February 19th edition of UNFILTERED NEWS from the Reality Zone compiled by G. Edward Griffin the following headline, summary and link got my attention:
Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies raided the home of an 80 year-old man on an anonymous drug tip.
Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies raided the home of an 80 year-old man on an anonymous drug tip [that the senior citizen was housing a methamphetamine lab on his residence]. They shot him to death and then changed their story about the shooting. The original report was that the man came toward police pointing a pistol at them, but investigators said that the man was in bed when he was killed. No methamphetamine or other unauthorized drugs were found. Reason Posted 2014 Feb 19

Crimeans Vote on Joining Russia
by Stephen Lendman
Ahead of the vote, John Kerry and Sergei Lavrov met in London. US pressure to get Russia to accept US demands failed.
Both nations are geopolitical opposites. Washington demands its way or else. Moscow respects the right of sovereign people to choose their own future freely.
Kerry called Russia's endorsing the right of Crimeans to secede "a backdoor annexation of Crimea." He demands it remain part of Ukraine.
He ignores the right of sovereign people to choose their future freely. He wants Washington rules enforced.
Lavrov said Russia respects "the declaration of the will of the Crimean people in the coming referendum of March 16."
"We have confirmed out stance...repeatedly," he stressed. Ukraine's crisis is not Russia's doing, he added.

Mahboob A. Khawaja
Global mankind feels tormenting pains and anguish to search for the missing Malaysian Flight 370 and to find rational answers, so far, unknown and perhaps unavailable. A tragedy in its making and unfolding day by day to the unknown horizons in critical analysis of a crisis situation.

Throughout the globe, security and aviation experts and common folks engaged in finding some reasonable consolation to growing concerns would like to comprehend what the Malaysian authorities knew once the plane was missing.
Israel Steals Palestinian Resources
by Stephen Lendman
Ethnic cleansing is official Israeli policy. So is stealing Palestinian land and resources. Fundamental rule of law principles don't matter.
What Israel wants it takes. It's longstanding policy. Martin Schulz is European Parliament president. He visited Israel.
On February 12, he addressed Knesset members. Outrage followed his remarks. Fascist Israeli MKs walked out in protest.
Days earlier he met a Palestinian youth. "Why can an Israeli use 70 cubic liters of water daily and a Palestinian only 17," he asked.
Schulz raised the issue in his remarks. He said he hadn't "checked the data. I'm asking you if this is correct."
Right-wing extremist MK Moti Yogev shouted at him while he was speaking. "Shame on you," he said. "You support someone who incites against Jews.
Washington's Dirty War on Venezuela
by Stephen Lendman
Throughout his tenure, Obama plotted one lawless regime change scheme after another. How many are too many?
What new ones does he plan? How many more wars will he wage? How much more carnage will follow?
How much more death, destruction and unspeakable human misery? How much more violence and instability?
How much longer will nations for peace and security put up with US lawlessness? Resisting it is a global imperative. Saving humanity from the madness of imperial rampaging depends on it.
America tolerates no independent governments. It want pro-Western puppet ones replacing it. It wants ones it controls. It wants Washington rules enforced.
Post-911 wars alone ravaged one country after another. New conflicts are planned. Permanent war is longstanding US policy.
Propaganda War on Russia Rages
by Stephen Lendman
Media scoundrels march in lockstep with imperial US policies. Truth is systematically suppressed. One-sided misreporting, commentaries and analysis substitute.
The New York Times is a longstanding lead instrument of US propaganda. On March 13, it headlined "Russian Troops Mass at Border with Ukraine," saying:
"...Russia massed troops and armored vehicles in at least three regions along Ukraine's eastern border on Thursday, alarming the interim Ukraine government about a possible invasion and significantly escalating tensions in the crisis between the Kremlin and the West."
White House Crime Boss Powwow
by Stephen Lendman
On March 12, Ukraine's illegitimate putschist prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Obama met in the Oval Office.
A previous article said Yatsenyuk came to meet his new boss. He got marching orders. He learned more about Obama's plans to rape and pillage Ukraine. More on what they both said below.
Meanwhile, on March 5, House Res. 499 "Condemn(ed) the violation of Ukrainian sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity by military forces of the Russian Federation."
It called for removing all Russian military troops from Crimea except Black Sea Fleet forces operating in accordance with 1997 Friendship Treaty terms.
It permits up to 25,000 Russian forces. Around 16,000 are currently there. None operate illegally on Crimean territory. Claims otherwise are false.
Israel Attacks Gaza - Again
by Stephen Lendman
Israel invents pretexts to attack. Other times, it provokes them lawlessly. Palestinians are wrongfully blamed for its crimes. Incidents happen repeatedly.
Islamic Jihad (IJ) responded to multiple Israeli killings. So did other Gazan resistance groups.
They included the National Resistance Brigades, Abu Mustafa Brigades, and Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade.
They called doing so "Breaking the Silence." Ihab al-Ghussein is Gaza-based Palestinian Authority Interior Ministry spokesman.
He called Israel "responsible for any escalation." He warned of "consequences."
Obama, Brennan, Geithner, and Gates
Michael Collins
We're six years into the Obama administration and nothing much has changed concerning the most fundamental challenges facing the citizens of the United States. Those challenges are:
- Reviving and reforming an economy that is rigged for only the very wealthiest interests;
- Ending the usurpation of individual rights by the national intelligence cabal; and
- Freeing the nation and the world from the endless insertion of U.S. intelligence and military operations throughout the world.
We have the same lousy economy with the same greedy interests in charge of the same too big to fail institutions making sure that they alone prosper. Tax incentives and government supports are for the very few in the top 0.001%. It is all about Wall Street at the expense of working people and Main Street.
