"NATO Has Moved to a War Footing Against Russia"

December 25th, 2015

LAROUCHEPAC

After being caught completely flat-footed by Russian President Putin's strategic flanking operation in Syria, announced on Sept. 30, the British Empire and President Obama have launched an ongoing string of direct military attacks and provocations against Russia which are escalating by the day.
They have done this through wholly-owned subsidiaries such as ISIS (which looks more and more like a branch of London's Dope, Inc.), the Turkish government, Saudi Arabia, etc. Consider a brief chronology:

* Oct. 31: Russia's Metrojet was blown up over the Sinai by ISIS.

* Nov. 24: Turkey downed a Russian SU-24 inside Syria, with clear Obama approval and malice aforethought. President Putin today took receipt of the plane's black box, which Russian and Syrian forces managed to recover, announcing that it would only be opened in the presence of international experts, and that it would show that the plane had been struck in Syrian air space.

Extinction is Forever

December 25th, 2015

Robert J. Burrowes

Robert J. Burrowes Extinction is Forever What do the Pyrenean ibex, St. Helena olive, Baiji dolphin, Liverpool pigeon, Eastern cougar, West African black rhinoceros, Formosan clouded leopard, Chinese Paddlefish, the Golden Toad and the Rockland grass skipper butterfly all have in common but which is different from the Dodo? The answer is that these species all became extinct since the year 2000, that is, in the last fifteen years. The Dodo became extinct in 1662.

The one thing that all of these species have in common is that the cause of their extinction was human beings.

If you would like to watch a video which evocatively showcases some of the extinct species of planet Earth, you can do so here: 'Toll a bell on Remembrance Day for Lost Species 30th November 2015'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT1vp5HfBq4

Turkey Smuggled Sarin Gas to Terrorists in Syria

December 25th, 2015

by Stephen Lendman

Turkish Republican People’s Party (CHP) opposition member Eren Erdem accused Ankara of covering up a major war crime, likely direct high-level involvement in smuggling materials used to make deadly sarin gas to ISIS and other terrorists - US proxy foot soldiers waging war on Syria.

Various attacks occurred. The most notorious targeted the Damascus Ghouta suburb in August 2013, killing and injuring scores of civilians.

At the time, then Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexandr Lubkashevich said “(w)e’re getting more new evidence that this criminal act was of a provocative nature.”

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan: Portrait of a Backstabbing Pasha

December 24th, 2015

James Petras

What Makes Recep Run? The Making of a Modern Pasha

Erdoğan began his ascent to power as a social reformer in opposition to the power elite; he was a rabble-rouser for popular Islam and social welfare. Once he takes political power he enriches his family and the business elite and purges adversaries and rivals.

With political power and economic connections, he amasses personal wealth through illicit business transactions.

With political power and personal wealth, he seeks prestige and status among the Western elites by serving imperial interests: He shoots down a Russian military jet over Syrian territory and thereby threatens hundreds of Turkish businesses and loses a major source of personal enrichment. When the Russians threaten to cut off energy exports to Turkey, Erdoğan’s opponents suggest he heat his own palace and villas with cow dung this winter.

Irresponsibly Vilifying President Assad

December 24th, 2015

by Stephen Lendman

He’s been Syria’s president since July 2000, overwhelmingly reelected in June 2014 in a process independent international monitors judged open, free and fair.

Syrians want no one else leading them. The longer conflict continues, the more solid his popularity. He’s all that stands in the way of a US-controlled vassal state (now with vital Russian aid), complicit with ISIS and other terrorist groups, the ultimate slow-death nightmare free people everywhere dread.

The Atlantic Council is a neocon infested think tank, founded in 1961 to support NATO’s killing machine - one of many similar US groups threatening world peace and stability.

Its solution for resolving conflict in Syria is escalating it. Frederic Hof is an Atlantic Council senior fellow, a former neocon Hillary Clinton State Department representative on Syria - militantly anti-Assad.

Washington Post editors gave him feature op-ed space. He took full advantage, vilifying Assad irresponsibly, spreading vicious lies, demanding he “step aside for the good of Syria.”

Turkey’s Erdogan: Drug Kingpin

December 23rd, 2015

by Stephen Lendman

In a just world, Erdogan would top Interpol’s most wanted list, along with US-led NATO leaders, Israel’s Netanyahu, and Middle East Arab despots - partners in high crimes too major to ignore.

Along with arming and providing safe havens for ISIS terrorists, supplying them with toxic chemical agents, and selling their oil on the black market, Erdogan is a major drug trafficker. Nothing significant happens in Turkey without his knowledge, approval and involvement.

RT International reported (US-protected) Afghan opium is processed into high-grade heroin in “clandestine Turkish drug labs for distribution in Europe and Russia,” - citing Moscow’s anti-drug chief as the source.

U.S. May Be Salvaging Victory for Jihadists in Syria: How & Why

December 14th, 2015

Eric Zuesse

According to Britain’s Telegraph, in a recent report, the U.S. Tow antitank missiles that U.S. President Barack Obama sent in October to the Islamic Sunni fighters in Syria to use against the forces of the non-sectarian Shiite ruler there, Bashar al-Assad, have been so effective against Russia’s forces that Assad had invited in, that Russia — defending (upon Syria’s legal request) President Assad’s forces, and attacking the jihadists imported into Syria by the Saudis and the rest of the West — is now being forced to send into the battle Russia’s costly T-90 tanks, which are less vulnerable to America’s missiles. "The deployment of the T-90s appears to reflect Moscow’s frustration at this failure ['getting sucked into a costly and possibly lengthy fight’], as well as concern over the damage inflicted by the rebels’ anti-tank missiles, themselves supplied by the regime’s arch-rivals in the Gulf states [specifically Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, and Kuwait] and Turkey.” All of those invading nations (other than the United States) are controlled by Sunni aristocrats, supporters and enforcers of Sharia Law, who (backed up by the U.S.) intend to take over and control the existing non-secular government of Syria, which is run by Bashar al-Assad, and impose Sharia Law.

Sham Paris Climate Agreement

December 14th, 2015

by Stephen Lendman

So-called COP21 discussions from November 30 - December 11 among hundreds of representatives from 196 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) countries were dead on arrival.

They fell short of a whimper, let alone a bang environmental and other civil society groups hoped for - in vain.

Meaningful results were entirely absent - impossible to achieve with America and its key allies unwilling to address a potentially catastrophic future problem without taking constructive action now. Friends of the Earth International (FEI) accused America and other “(r)ich countries (of) mov(ing) the goal posts” to serve their powerful monied interests, profiting hugely by despoiling planet earth - ignoring a 19th century proverb more relevant today than ever, saying:

“Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught (and the air no longer safe to breathe and contaminated GMO and other crops no longer fit to eat) will we realize we cannot eat money.”

US Waging War on Russia Without Declaring It

December 14th, 2015

by Stephen Lendman

Washington’s undeclared war on Russia (and China) is the greatest threat to world peace, risking the unthinkable - possible nuclear war able to end life on earth.

Both countries stand in the way of unchallenged US global dominance - allied with rogue NATO partners (mainly Britain, France, Germany and Turkey), Israel and tyrannical Middle East regimes led by Saudi Arabia, a metastasizing cancer masquerading as a nation-state. Two major flashpoint areas risk igniting global war - Ukraine and Syria. Washington transformed Kiev into a Nazi-infested fascist dictatorship (for the first time in Europe since WW II) - used as a dagger targeting Russia’s heartland, along with other Eastern European countries close to its border.

US Using Turkey to Provoke Confrontation with Russia?

December 14th, 2015

by Stephen Lendman

Turkey’s Erdogan is a ruthless loose cannon, a valued US imperial ally, part of NATO’s killing machine - increasingly risking direct confrontation with Russia.

Washington likely orchestrated Turkey’s downing of Russia’s SU-24 bomber last month in Syrian airspace, a reckless act of war.

On December 11, Putin told participants at a Moscow Defense Ministry collegium: “I order to act very tough. Any targets that threaten Russian forces or our infrastructure on the ground should be immediately destroyed.”

He warned “those who will again try to organize any provocations against our servicemen. We have already taken additional measures to ensure security of Russian servicemen and air base.”
