Is Washington Planning Barbarossa II?
by Stephen Lendman
On June 22, 1941, Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa against Soviet Russia - perhaps the largest ever invasion force by one country against another involving up to four million combat and support troops.
His lunatic desire to conquer his ideological rival, acquire lebensraum, its resources and enslave its people failed. So did Napoleon 130 years earlier.
Does Washington plan repeating their mistakes? Don't put anything past lunatics running things - bipartisan hawks waging endless wars on humanity. Anti-Russian hostility and saber rattling should scare everyone. Reckless US-dominated NATO military exercises on Russia's doorstep are hugely provocative.
Poroshenko Hypes Nonexistent Russian Invasion Threat
by Stephen Lendman
Fear-mongering is longstanding rogue state policy to scare people to believe nonexistent threats are real.
It's willful deception to get them go along with policies they're likely reject otherwise.
Ukrainian forces attack Donbass militia fighters and civilians daily. Violence surged lately.
Victims are blamed for Kiev high crimes. Addressing parliament on Thursday, Poroshenko ludicrously said Ukraine's military must defend against a possible "full-scale (Russian) invasion."
He lied claiming 9,000 Russian troop already operate in Ukraine. A "colossal threat" of resumed full-scale war looms, he blustered - only if junta forces initiate it, he didn't explain.
Instead he said "(t)he military must be ready as much for a renewal of an offensive by the enemy in the Donbass as they are for a full-scale invasion along the whole length of the border with Russia. We must be truly ready for this."
Israel Bombs Gaza
by Stephen Lendman
Israel's war on Gaza continues. Any excuse is used to attack 1.8 million Palestinians lawlessly besieged in the world's largest open-air prison.
When none exist, they're invented - or attacks occur after multiple IDF provocations bring a justifiable response.
Vicious persecution of Gazans has been ongoing since Palestinians elected Hamas overwhelmingly as their legitimate government in January 2006. In mid-2007, Israel imposed lawless siege - entirely for political reasons, not security. It remains in force despite pledges to ease it.
Overnight Saturday, a Gaza-based Salafist group claimed responsibility for firing a rocket at Ashkelon in southern Israel.
US Joint Chiefs Chairman General Martin Dempsey Irresponsibly Bashes Putin
by Stephen Lendman
is one of many Western government and military officials unjustifiably criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin. He's a leader deserving praise for championing peace and opposing imperial wars.
The Wall Street Journal recently interviewed Dempsey about so-called "strategic challenge(s)" posed by Russia. On June 6, it published excerpts from his remarks.
He affirms the same anti-Russian sentiment most others in Washington assert, knowing full well Putin’s only geopolitical difference from Western leaders is his forthright opposition to endless wars for imperial dominance.
When Dempsey advises US or foreign officials, he "talk(s) in terms of…what could threaten our interests," he said.
He called threats a "combination of capability and intent" - the "doctrinal definition," he explained.
He lied claiming Putin "demonstrated some behaviors outside the international order that clearly indicate (he's) willing to push beyond what most of the nations with whom we deal consider to be international norms."
He ignored Washington's longstanding imperial agenda - waging endless wars against one nation after another threatening no one, for sure not America.
Second Anniversary of Edward Snowden's NSA Spying Revelations
by Stephen Lendman
A June 6, 2013 London Guardian article first revealed lawless NSA spying. It was just the beginning of much more to come.
Information supplied by Edward Snowden showed the NSA spies secretly and unconstitutionally on its citizens and residents - besides overstepping its authority abroad.
He connected important dots for millions. He explained spying in America is pervasive. Constitutional rights no longer matter.
Anything goes remains official policy. The NSA, FBI, CIA, DEA and Homeland Security systematically operate by their own rules.
Snowden said "I really want the focus to be on (the documents he revealed) which I hope will trigger among citizens around the globe what kind of world we want to live in."
US Solution to Everything: War
by Stephen Lendman
Make no mistake. Bipartisan lunatics run America. Endless wars rage against invented enemies.
Peace is pure fantasy. It defeats Washington's geopolitical objectives. Obama wants congressional authorization for unconstrained war at his discretion.
John McCain is a notorious hawk. Andy Borowitz satirized him in the New Yorker headlining "McCain Urges Military Strikes Against FIFA."
"(D)ismantle and destroy FIFA once and for all. These are people who only understand one thing: force. We must make FIFA taste the vengeful might and fury of the United States military."
"Obama created FIFA." Put boots on the ground in Zurich to destroy it.
Borowitz mocked McCain and America's rage for war. In multiple global theaters it's real, deadly, and hugely destabilizing beyond areas of combat.
Peace Negotiations or War Preparations? Colombia, Iran, China, Cuba, Ukraine, Yemen and Syria

IN REMEMBRANCE OF JAIRO MARTINEZ AND ROMAN RUIZ
FIGHTERS AND VICTIMS OF ‘WAR THROUGH PEACE NEGOTIATIONS’
Introduction
JAIRO MARTINEZ AND ROMAN RUIZ
On May 21, 2015, the Colombian Air Force (FAC) bombed the base camp of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) killing 26 guerrillas. Three days later the FAC bombed other FARC bases killing 14 more guerrillas. This was part of an official offensive, launched by President Juan Manuel Santos, the US’s most loyal client in Latin America. Among the victims were FARC Commanders Jairo Martinez, a participant in the ongoing peace negotiations in Havana and Roman Ruiz.
Gilad Atzmon explains the subversion of the pro-Palestine cause by the Jewish left
By John Friend
Editor's note: Gilad Atzmon, an internationally renowned musician, philosopher, and writer born in Israel, is currently on a speaking tour to promote his latest book entitled A to Zion: The Definitive Israeli Lexicon, as well as address the Jewish subversion of the pro-Palestinian movement. On Monday, May 11th, Atzmon spoke at a public library in San Diego County, an event I was able to attend. We had a nice conversation and I was able to ask him a question following his presentation.
What follows is a Q&A I conducted with Atzmon via email shortly after his speech in San Diego. I hope to continue this dialogue in the near future. There are many more questions I'd like to ask him.
US-Dominated NATO Myths v. Russian Hard Truths
by Stephen Lendman
In late May, NATO published a propaganda report based on tired old Big Lies. It claimed a nonexistent "illegal (Russian) military intervention in Ukraine" despite no evidence whatever suggesting it - plenty debunking it.
It discussed a menu of what it called myths about NATO/Russian relations-willful Big Lies including denying:
● NATO threatens Russia;
● encroachment on its borders by systematically encircling its territory with hostile bases and conducting provocative military exercises;
● wanting Russia marginalized, contained, isolated, destabilized, weakened, its government replaced by a pro-Western one, and balkanized for easier exploitation and control;
● braking its pledge not to expand east;
● wanting all former Russian republics and Warsaw Pact countries included in its Alliance;
● it's so-called missile defense is for offense targeting Russia and other independent countries;
● it wages one direct or proxy war of aggression after another;
● planning expanding to a global military alliance - threatening humanity more than already
NATO claims these hard facts are myths. In mid-May, Russia set the record straight - debunking NATO Big Lies, explaining hard truths.
