America’s Forever War Strategy

June 16th, 2017

Stephen Lendman

America is unique among history’s warrior states - prioritizing endless wars, not ending them to achieve a new era of peace and stability.

The notion is anathema to the nation’s military, industrial, and scoundrel media establishment. Wars are waged for power and profits, no other reasons.

All post-WW II US wars were and continue to be acts of naked aggression against nations threatening no one - raping and destroying them, the human cost incalculable, the villainy unprecedented.

Throughout its history, America has been perpetually at war at home and/or abroad, never a time of peace and stability - a shocking indictment of its abhorrent agenda, the nation a democracy in name only.

Corbyn Teaches To Embrace Change We Need

June 16th, 2017

Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers

The shocking election result in the United Kingdom – the Conservatives losing their majority and the creation of a hung Parliament; and Jeremy Corbyn being more successful than any recent Labor candidate – cutting a 20 point Theresa May lead down to a near tie – gives hope to many that the global shift to the right, fueled by the failures of governments to meet the basic needs of their population and growing economic insecurity, may be ending.

Corbyn is a lifelong activist whose message and actions have been consistent. He presented a platform directed at ending austerity and the wealth divide and was openly anti-war. There are a lot of lessons for the Labor Party in the UK from this election but there are also lessons for people in the United States. We review what happened and consider the possibilities for creating transformative change in the United States.

Putin’s Annual Marathon Press Conference

June 15th, 2017

Stephen Lendman

Annually he spends hours answering questions submitted in advance, by categories from millions submitted worldwide, focusing on vital issues - a candidly forthright tour de force unmatched by any Western leaders, notably no US one.

Commenting on Russia’s economy, Putin was upbeat, saying recession ended, growth resumed, GDP “rising for three quarters in a row.”

He’s taking measures to improve living standards for poor Russians, still suffering from Boris Yeltsin’s post-Soviet neoliberal shock therapy, aided by recession conditions now easing.

He called anti-Russian sanctions beneficial, enabling the country to become more self-reliant and self-sufficient, along developing stronger ties with China and other countries.

Uninvited US Special Forces in the Philippines

June 15th, 2017

Stephen Lendman

Washington claiming they’re aiding the Philippine military combat ISIS in the southern city of Marawi belies US support for the terror group - its fighters serving its imperial interests.

What’s going on? Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said his government requested no US military aid. He “never approached America,” for help, he stressed.

He didn’t know about the presence of US special forces in Marawi “until they arrived,” he explained.

Were they deployed to aid ISIS against his government? Is there a US plot to oust him?Washington is displeased with his outreach to China and Russia, saying he intends building “new alliances.”

Deplorable NYT Lying About Russia

June 13th, 2017

Stephen Lendman

Despite no evidence of Russian interference in last year’s US presidential election, America’s intelligence community and supportive media scoundrels keep repeating the Big Lie - including the NYT, a longstanding press agent for wealth, power and privilege.

A weekend op-ed asked “Is Putin getting what he wanted with Trump?” It quoted Comey’s Big Lie when asked during his Senate Intelligence Committee testimony if he had any doubt about Russian interference.

“None,” he responded, adding Moscow “did it with purpose. They did it with sophistication. They did it with overwhelming technical efforts. They will be back. They are coming after America.”

What he left unsaid is not a shred of evidence supports his accusation, or anyone else’s in Washington, or any scoundrel media reports repeating it.

How I know that the Sauds did the 9/11 attacks

June 13th, 2017

Eric Zuesse

As a historian, I recognize that everything we know about history is from sources, and depends upon the reliability of those sources. Here, my main sources will be identified, and linked-to, so that any reader online can go directly to them, and won’t need to rely upon me but can go directly to the sources and evaluate them (my evidence) on one’s own.

First of all, however, reference will be made here to the three main countries (other than Afghanistan, which America first invaded for having allegedly perpetrated 9/11; and Iraq, which we next invaded for having allegedly perpetrated it) that have been accused, at different times, for allegedly having done those attacks; and anyone who wants to see my main previous article on each of the following three country’s involvement or non-involvement in the 9/11 attacks, can access that presentation simply by clicking onto the respective link here for that given country:

Syrian Army Gains Control of Jordanian and Iraq Border Areas

June 11th, 2017

Stephen Lendman

On Friday, Syria’s military, along with allied forces, announced it reached Iraqi border areas northeast of al-Tanf - taking control after eliminating pockets of terrorist fighters in the area.

Commander of Russian forces in Syria General Sergey Surovikin said “(t)he offensive along the western bank of the Euphrates is gaining momentum in the northeast of the Aleppo province.”

“Units of the Syrian armed forces and people’s militia have driven out militants of ISIL from…Maskanah, Ramtan, Shatna and approached the city of Tabqa.”

“They have gained control of the Jira airport, which has strategic importance.” In the last month alone, Russian warplanes carried out 1,268 sorties, destroying 3,200 terrorist facilities.

Trump Accuses Comey of Lying Under Oath

June 11th, 2017

Stephen Lendman

Trump’s lawyer Marc Kasowitz said Comey leaked government information and “privileged communications” to The NYT through his legal advisor, Columbia Law Professor Daniel Richman.

“We will leave it the appropriate authorities to determine whether this leak should be investigated” as a possible criminal violation, he said.

On Friday, Trump accused Comey of lying under oath during his Senate Intelligence Committee testimony.

He denied saying he hoped Comey would “let go” of the Michael Flynn investigation, or asked him to pledge loyalty.

What Came Out of Comey’s Testimony?

June 11th, 2017

Stephen Lendman

The media buildup ahead of his testimony was almost unprecedented. Mass Thursday coverage substituted for regular programming.

Comey’s appearance before Senate Intelligence Committee members was an unspectacular spectacle - lots of smoke, no fire touching Trump.

No blockbuster revelations came out, nothing suggesting Trump obstruction of justice or other wrongdoing in dealings with Comey.

Sure Trump is a liar, as Comey said. So are Obama, Bush/Cheney, the Clintons, all their predecessors, and virtually all congressional members.

All politicians lie. Nothing they say is credible - nothing to be taken at face value. Politicians can’t be trusted. Rare exceptions prove the rule. The criminal class in Washington is bipartisan - representing wealth, power and privilege, along with their own self-interest.

Is Google’s search-engine now appallingly corrupt?

June 11th, 2017

Eric Zuesse

Here is the evidence I’ve come across which indicates to me that the Google search-engine is now appallingly corrupt, and for which reason I am seeking (and hope to see in reader-comments at sites that publish this article) an alternative explanation for what presently appear to me to be systematic efforts by Google to hide crucial information and understanding from the public — to hide it so that the public can be manipulated to tolerate increasing control, by billionaires, of their governments (the diminution of democracy):
