Western Leaders Snub China’s WW II Victory Day Commemoration
by Stephen Lendman
No two nations sacrificed more to defeat the scourge of Nazi and imperial Japanese fascism that Russia and China.
No one knows for sure how many from both countries perished. Estimates of Russian deaths ranged from 26 - 40 million.
From Japan’s invasion and occupation of Manchuria in 1931 to WW II’s end in 1945, 30 million or more Chinese died. Many more in both countries suffered serious injuries. Large parts of their land mass were devastated. Without Sino/Russian contributions to the war effort, Hitler and imperial Japan might have prevailed. War didn’t touch US soil. Americans old enough to remember recall minor inconveniences only - including rationing goods needed for the war effort.
Dollar As World’s Reserve Currency Threatened
by Stephen Lendman
US dollar dominance finances Washington’s reckless spending, global militarism, its empire of bases, endless wars, corporate takeovers, as well as speculative excess creating bubbles and economic crises - at the expense of democratic freedoms and beneficial social change.
China, Russia and other nations increasingly trading in their own currencies pose a significant threat to dollar dominance. Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya explained Washington’s currency war on China, saying:
“The Chinese are in the process of displacing the monopoly of the US dollar. They are dropping their US Treasury bonds, stockpiling gold reserves, and opening regional distribution banks for their own national currency.”
SEPTEMBER 2015: The Writing’s On The Wall
SEPTEMBER 2015: A Window Of Time To Be Understood Not Feared
9/13/15 thru 9/23/15
Super Shemitah can NOT be prevented;however, it can be alleviated.
The Whole World Waits for the Momentous 70th Biblical Shemitah Jubilee with Great Anticipation and Uneasy Apprehension
40 Day Period of Special Prayers, Fasting and Repentance Ends on September 23rd
Cosmic Convergence Research Group
Historically, it is always the month of Tishri that reflected how true the community, both local and global, was to the spirit of the Shemitah year. The Shemitah always ends on Elul 29, which is the last day of the month of Elul that falls on September 13th in 2015. This particular Shemitah inaugurates the Biblical Shemitah Jubilee which officially begins on September 23rd with the close of Yom Kippur. What distinguishes this particular Jubilee from all the others is that the upcoming one is the 70th stretching back almost 3500 years.

France, Germany and Russia Back Ceasefire in Donbass: Hold the Cheers
by Stephen Lendman
Hollande, Merkel and Putin discussed ongoing conflict in Donbass by phone. On Saturday, a Kremlin press statement said:
“Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande informed (Putin) about the results of their recent meeting with the president of Ukraine in Berlin.”
“Vladimir Putin expressed concern about the continuing artillery bombardments of populated localities in Donbass by the Ukrainian military, the build-up of the Ukrainian Armed Forces along the line of demarcation.” “The three leaders emphasized the need to establish a direct dialogue between Kiev and representatives of Donetsk and Lugansk and of lifting the financial and economic blockade of Donbass.”
NYT Features Anti-Russian Propagandist
by Stephen Lendman
A previous article described Marsha Gessen as follows: She’s a US propagandist/Putin basher living in Moscow - a former controversial Washington controlled Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Russian Service director.
Her job then and now is proliferating anti-Russian/anti-Putin propaganda. Virtually everything she says and writes is rubbish - fabrications polar opposite truth.
No legitimate editors would touch her stuff. The NYT features it often - in lieu of independent contributors discussing hard truths everyone needs to know on issues mattering most - prohibited by Times editors, serving wealth and power interests exclusively at the expense of real journalism. On August 28, Gessen headlined “Oleg Sentsov and the Kremlin’s Thin Skin.” Disinformation followed. More on this below.
Dubious Sponsor Launches Petition to End Gaza Blockade
by Stephen Lendman
Avaaz is a phony human rights group. Michel Chossudovsky calls it “part of a corporate public relations campaign” - systematically misreporting on Washington’s imperial wars.
Its petition calls on world leaders to pressure Israel to lift blockade restrictions - backed by Oxfam, World Vision International, Medical Aid for Palestinians and other groups. It states:
“For a whole year the Israeli government has restricted basic and essential construction materials from entering Gaza. Not one of the 19,000 homes that were bombed and destroyed has been fully rebuilt. One year on, around 100,000 Palestinians in Gaza are still homeless, hospitals and schools still lie in ruins, and whole neighbourhoods have no access to running water.
New Orleans: I’m not celebrating
By Greg Palast
This week, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, The Palast Investigative Fund is offering my film, Big Easy to Big Empty: The Untold Story of the Drowning of New Orleans as a FREE download.
It wasn’t a natural disaster, it was a homicide. This is the story you’re not supposed to know. Get it, and pass on the link.
Screw the celebration. New Orleans hasn’t “come back.” That is, there are still the Bourbon Street bars serving “Hurricanes” to sloshed tourists and Mardi Gras when white Americans can catch trinkets from floats floating over the ghosts of the drowned. New Orleans is back to 79% of its pre-flood population. Why am I not cheering? Because the original residents—that is, the majority of the pre-flood Black residents—are still wandering in America’s cruel economic desert.
Obama’s War on Venezuela
by Stephen Lendman
Endless US hot wars rage in multiple theaters. Covert destabilizing ones target numerous other countries.
Toppling Venezuela’s government has been a US objective since Chavez took office in February 1999 - so far not achieved but ongoing without letup.
Occasional US soft diplomatic talk is pure deception - including John Kerry saying Washington “seek(s) ways to improve a historically strong relationship” on the occasion of Venezuela’s July 5 independence day commemoration. Most often his rhetoric reflects longstanding US meddling in the internal affairs of other countries - flagrantly illegal under core international law ignored by Washington, operating solely by its own rules and standards.
Differing Views on China
by Stephen Lendman
Ignore demagogues like Donald Trump claiming “China is taking our jobs…taking our money…They’ll take us down.”
Gerald Celente issued a “trend alert” headlined “Market Mayhem: Don’t blame China - It’s the (global) economy, stupid.”
China is far from blame-free. Celente calls its economy “the canary in the collapsing global-equity mine.” He forecasts markets plummeting by yearend. Chickens are coming home to roost. Current market turbulence is “more than a…correction,” he stresses. “It’s a global recession” - how severe remains to be seen.
