On Wednesday, Iran's Parliament released a factsheet on agreed on nuclear deal framework terms. It differs markedly from Obama's distorted version.
He proved he can't be trusted many times before. Again by betraying Iran.
On the one hand, by distorting and inaccurately reporting terms agreed on.
On the other, by selling out to bipartisan congressional hardliners, Israel and its Lobby.
He effectively wrecked agreed on framework terms by giving Congress final say on agreement provisions if reached by June 30.
Chances for consummating a fair and equitable deal for all parties is virtually nil. It shouldn't surprise. Washington's notorious history shows its word isn't its bond. It can't be trusted.

The hyper-nationalist Ukrainian-Israeli billionaire Ihor Kolomoysky, a friend of the Obama White House and employer of Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden, is a major donor to far-right Ukrainian causes. He sides with the followers of Stepan Bandera, the pro-Nazi Ukrainian leader whom Hitler ditched when Bandera made clear that he wanted Ukraine to be nazi but independent of Germany’s Nazi Party. Briefly, Bandera’s #2 in command, Yaroslav Stetsko, led nazi Ukraine, and approved the slaughter of thousands of Jews there. He clearly stated his view, that: “Moscow and Jewry are Ukraine’s greatest enemies and bearers of corruptive Bolshevik international ideas. Although I consider Moscow, which is in fact Ukraine held in captivity, and not Jewry, to be the main and decisive enemy, I nonetheless fully appreciate the undeniably harmful and hostile role of the Jews, who are helping Moscow to enslave Ukraine. I therefore support the destruction of the Jews."
Relentless Chemtrail Spraying and HAARP-manufactured weather events have been used to radically alter California’s climate State of the Nation
For anyone who has closely tracked the evolution of California’s ever-worsening drought, it has been apparent — from the very beginning — that something is very wrong with this mostly manmade catastrophe.
The purpose of this exposé is to reveal the evidence, some scientific and some anecdotal, which indicates that this historic and unprecedented drought has been literally engineered from start to finish. Just like LA’s Hollywood studios have produced so many disaster epics, the Government-Corporate Complex has quite purposefully staged this catastrophic drought throughout the statewide ‘set’ of California.
Again, the thesis of this essay is that both the U.S. Federal Government and select Military-Industrial Complex corporations have conspired to create the California drought. While that may sound like a conspiracy theory to some, the growing body of evidence points directly to Government-Corporate Complex* complicity. Read More

Throughout this writer's entire life, US direct and/or proxy wars raged - today more than ever in multiple theaters worldwide.
Imagine living over 80 years without knowing a single day of peace. Without conflict, mass slaughter and destruction.
Without valuing human life and welfare more than the spoils of war. America is a warrior state - more ruthless than any in history.
It wages wars on an unprecedented scale, besides successful and failed regime change efforts by coups, assassinations and other means.
US imperial policy threatens humanity's survival like no nation ever did before - with weapons of unimaginable destructive power and lunatics in charge willing to use them.
They make the unthinkable possible. Policymakers in Washington deplore peace. They glorify war. They plan new ones while current conflicts rage.

Last April, Obama declared war on Donbass - using Kiev forces as convenient proxies.
He launched naked aggression weeks after ousting Ukraine's legitimate government - installing putschist Nazi thugs replacing it.
They tolerate no opposition. They imprison or murder anyone challenging their authority.
Donbass freedom fighters reject fascist rule. They want Ukraine governed democratically.
They deserve universal support. All Donbass residents paid dearly for wanting fundamental freedoms.
Their struggle continues - perhaps for years. Fascists in Washington and Kiev don't wage wars to quit.

On September 16, 2007, US hired Blackwater mercenaries murdered 17 Iraqi civilians in Baghdad's Nisour Square.
Without provocation, they opened fire on cars carrying families.
They had little reason to think they'd be held accountable. Washington grants so-called private military contractors (PMCs) blanket immunity.
Paul Bremer's Order 17 authorized it. The exception proves the rule.
At the time of the slaughter, AFP said Blackwater personnel shot recklessly "at everything that moved with a machine gun and even with a grenade launcher (as well as from two hovering helicopters)."

Just a few month ago, in a speech in front of the Labour Friends Of Israel Lobby group, Ed Miliband - the Labour party’s current leader, produced one of the most embarrassing in the history of modern British politics:
“I want you to know”, Miliband told The Lobby, “that if I become Prime Minister in less than a year’s time, I will be proud to do so as a friend of Israel, a Jew and, most of all, someone who feels so proud to be part of the community gathered here today.” (http://press.labour.org.uk/post/89056233474/ed-miliband-speech-to-labour-friends-of-israel)

Famed German writer, author, playwright, sculptor, artist, and Nobel laureate Grass was considered Germany's most celebrated literary figure during his lifetime.
In 1999, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Committee members said his "frolicsome black fables portray the forgotten face of history."
They credited his first novel, "The Tin Drum," with restoring honor to German literature "after decades of linguistic and moral destruction."
It "comes to grips with the enormous task of reviewing contemporary history by recalling the disavowed and the forgotten: the victims, losers and lies that people wanted to forget because they had once believed in them," they said.

It bears repeating what other articles stressed. Donbass is Obama's war - using Ukraine's military, Nazi-infested volunteer battalions and imported paramilitaries to do his dirty work.
Geneva, Minsk I and II ceasefire agreements failed. Fighting never stopped. After Minsk II, it slowed - giving Kiev time to regroup and rearm after being routed in battle.
US special forces and other combat troops are involved - on the pretext of training Ukrainian forces.
Provocative US military deployments and exercises close to Russia's borders raise the stakes for direct confrontation.
Since conflict began last spring, Washington supplied Kiev with heavy weapons, intelligence and other active support.

A sad day - losing two literary giants at the same time, Galeano and Germany's Gunter Grass discussed in a separate article.
Galeano lost his struggle with lung cancer. His weekly publication Brecha confirmed his death.
He's considered one of Latin America's most distinguished authors. His works include 35 books.
Perhaps his most notable achievement was his Open Veins of Latin America - Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent.
In 2009, it became a US bestseller after Hugo Chavez gave Obama a copy. Its message taught him nothing.
Its brilliance set a standard for historical Latin American scholarship.
