Charlie Hebdo Disgracefully Mocks Russian Plane Crash Victims
by Stephen Lendman
The French satirical weekly is outrageously over-the-top, featuring stridently irreverent cartoons, polemics and humor.
It takes pride in mocking religions, notably Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. Its predecessor Hara-Kiri publication was banned for ridiculing Charles de Gaulle’s death.
In 1970, its staff shifted to the newly introduced Charlie Hebdo (CB), continuing the same offensive style, notably its repugnant cartoons, taking shots at virtually anyone, including the Virgin Mary. Why readers find this amusing, they’ll have to explain. The publication was largely obscure before 12 staff members were killed and eight others wounded in last January’s attack on its Paris offices.
Israel Wants $5 Billion US Taxpayer Dollars Annually for Its Killing Machine
by Stephen Lendman
Former GHW Bush national security advisor Brent Scrowcroft once said former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon had GW Bush “wrapped around his little finger.”
Sharon once told his foreign minister at the time Shimon Peres: “(D)on’t worry about American pressure. We the Jewish people control America.”
In 1973, then Senate Foreign Relations Committee J. William Fulbright said “(t)he Israelis control the policy in the Congress and the Senate.” Eisenhower’s Secretary of State John Foster Dulles called it “impossible to carry out a (Middle East) foreign policy not approved by the Jews…terrific control (they) have over the news media…”
Israel Terrorizes Hebron Residents
by Stephen Lendman
Hebron is a microcosm of Israel’s war on Palestine, unrestrained state terror, at least 22 of its residents murdered by security forces since October 1 alone.
Longstanding policies protect extremist settlers, the entire Palestinian population terrorized. New restrictions imposed are more draconian than ever - a policy of belligerent apartheid.
Israel’s claim about “continu(ing) to allow as normal a fabric of life as possible for all residents” is baloney - B’Tselem calling it “a far cry from (horrific daily) reality.”
“There has been no ‘normal fabric of life’ in Hebron for many days, and the measures taken in the name of security are draconian and not dictated by reality,” it stressed.
No Matter How Well Russian Media Expose Western Lies
Eric Zuesse
Western ‘news’ media simply refuse to report the lying that’s done by Western ‘news’ media and their governments.
Western media didn’t even report — and more than a decade after the fact, they still are not reporting — that George W. Bush was lying when he 02 that the IAEA had just issued a report saying that Saddam Hussein was six months away from having a nuclear weapon — when he said this even though the IAEA repeatedly denied having ever issued such a report. (And: largely because Western mediastilldon’t report that he hadliedthere, the Gallup Poll, on 20 June 2014, found that former President George W. Bush was continuing to be well-regarded by the American public: he still had an approval rating of 53%, and only 44% of Americans disapproved of him. His approval-rating within his own Republican Party continued to be an astronomically high 88%. His failure to have acted on pre-9/11 intelligence about Al Qaeda, the massive needless bloodshed from foreign invasions, trillions of dollars wasted, millions of needless Iraqi refugees produced, tortures and ‘renditions’ in violation of international law, and the explosion of financial fraud and its resulting economic crash, all failed to cause him to be generally unpopular amongst the American people, whose nation he had actually almost wrecked. Such is the power of a constantly lying press, which claims that all these catastrophes were ‘well-intentioned’ by the ‘democratically’ ‘elected’ President.)
US Supplying ISIS with Aircraft Downing Weapons
by Stephen Lendman
On November 4, the Wall Street Journal headlined “US, Allies to Boost Aid to Syria Rebels” - aka ISIS and other takfiri terrorists, US proxy foot soldiers, imperial death squads, no so-called “moderates” among them.
The Journal stopped short of explaining it, instead saying “(s)hipments of arms (and) supplies are aimed at pressuring Assad while countering Russia (and) Iran.”
Longstanding US plans call for regime change in Syria, eliminating its independent government, replacing it with one Washington and Israel control, raping the country, balkanizing it, and exploiting its people - at the same time, creating endless violence, instability and chaos like what’s happening in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and virtually everywhere America shows up, the greatest menace to peace in world history. According to the Journal, increased weapons shipments to anti-Assad elements aim to “challenge the intervention of Russia and Iran on behalf of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, US officials and their counterparts (from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Gulf States) in the region said.
Meet Israel’s Terminator
by Stephen Lendman
Actor, former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger gained US film fame as Hollywood’s “Terminator,” followed by a television series, comic books, novels, and recognition by the Library of Congress as “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” filmography.
Schwarzenegger’s role was fictional. Israel has the real thing. On November 5, the Jewish Press (JP) headlined “Meet the Terminator: IDF Soldier Killed 3 Terrorists in 2 Weeks,” identifying him as “Cpl. T” - “serving in the Shimshon Battalion of the Kfir Brigade.”
Palestinians are shamelessly called knife-wielding terrorists. Killer soldiers, police and extremist settlers are national heroes. Cold blood murder is considered self-defense. Cpl. T has blood on his hands at least thrice, justifying murder by claiming he foiled stabbing attempts - the pre-scripted IDF explanation, justifying all killings of Palestinians, including young children and women, eyewitness and video evidence often refuting official Israeli accounts.
ISIS Using Mustard Gas in Syria
by Stephen Lendman
US-supported ISIS and other terrorists were caught red-handed using sarin and other chemical weapons against civilians in Syria numerous times - Assad wrongfully blamed for their crimes.
No evidence suggests his forces used them at any time throughout the conflict. Plenty shows CIA and US special forces train takfiri terrorists in chemical weapons use, perhaps supplying them with toxic agents to use.
Saudi Arabia was caught red-handed providing them with toxic agents in containers marked “made in KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia).”
In early November, Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) experts confirmed terrorists’ use of mustard gas and chlorine in Syria with “utmost confidence” - calling perpetrators “non-state actor(s).”
Nightmarish TPP Text Revealed
by Stephen Lendman
TPP now revealed in full is one of the latest examples of how fascists running things in Washington harm public welfare and safety - in bed with predatory monied interests exclusively. Theirs alone matter.
This outrageous deal hangs the vast majority of Americans out to dry, sacrificing them on the altar of corporate profits as a be all and end all, an example of over-the-top greed and contempt for ordinary people. Monied interests crafted their own sweetheart deal with full Obama administration support, a dagger in the heart of consumer safety and welfare.
Obama lied claiming it has “strong protections for workers and the environment…(It) puts American workers first.” TPP is nightmarishly anti-worker, anti-consumer, anti-environment, contemptuously spurning the public interest.
A Confused Situation as to Syria and ISIS
By Dr. Rodrigue Tremblay
[There are] “three ways to be influential in American politics: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets. Haim Saban, Pro-Israel billionaire and major political contributor, and adviser to Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, (2009)
[There] “is a memo [at the Pentagon] that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.” General Wesley Clark, former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO (1997-2000), (interview of March 2, 2007) “Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them.” Mark Twain (1835-1910), American author and satirist
Hillary Clinton Endorses Netanyahu’s High Crimes
by Stephen Lendman
Israel’s Netanyahu-led killing machine is murdering, brutalizing, mass imprisoning and torturing Palestinians daily - young children treated like adults, women like men, no mercy shown.
Barbarism defines Israeli policy, fully endorsed by Washington - notably by Hillary Clinton as US senator, Secretary of State and now presidential aspirant. She above all others in the race threatens world peace, an unbridled hawk, war her strategy of choice.
The Forward (also called The Jewish Daily Forward) is a Zionist publication, one-sided pro-Israeli views alone acceptable, criticism shut out.Hillary Clinton got op-ed space, on November 4 headlining “How I Would Forge Better Ties to Israel - and Rebuild Bond With Benjamin Netanyahu,” saying:
His scheduled November 9 Washington visit “is an opportunity to reaffirm the unbreakable bonds of friendship and unity between the people and governments of the United States and Israel.”
