Gallup Finds: Among Conservatives, Education Increases False Belief
Eric Zuesse
100% agreement among scientists does not exist on anything, not even on basic laws of physics; but there are some scientific topics where the degree of expert consensus is near 100%, and human-caused (or “anthropogenic”) global warming is one of them, with more than 97% of the scientific experts in the field agreeing that this phenomenon is real. (See this paper, which is the most-rigorous study to-date, of expert opinion on the subject, quantifying the extent of this consensus; this is a study of 11,944 papers that have been published on the matter, and it finds that more than 97% of the peer-reviewed papers that have expressed an opinion on whether “anthropogenic global warming” exists, have said that it does. A contrarian tried to debunk that paper and reduce the consensus down to 91%, which is still high, but there were errors in his paper, and he even admitted: “There is no doubt in my mind that the literature on climate change overwhelmingly supports the hypothesis.")
Washington Wants Its Big Lying Machine Revved Up
by Stephen Lendman
Its annual three-fourths of a billion dollars spent isn't enough. It's for managed news disinformation rubbish aired by:
● Voice of America;
● Radio Free Asia;
● Radio and TV Marti aimed at Cuba; and
● Middle East Broadcasting Networks
● Middle East Broadcasting Networks.
Plus enormous sums spent by supportive corporate media, as well as so-called public (be damned) broadcasting and radio blasting out Big Lies, fake news, and other grand deceptions instead of what everyone deserves.
Reuters previewed a new report claiming America is losing the information war to Russia - written by two former US propagandists, S. Enders Wimbush and Elizabeth Portale.
They along with 30 foreign policy/diplomacy professionals polled want America's Big Lying Machine revved up.
Britain's Foreign Secretary Matches Kerry's Bullying, Bluster and Big Lies
by Stephen Lendman
British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond
America and Britain partner in each other's high crimes. Their longstanding relationship dates from the 19th century. It's modern form emerged post-WW II. Imperial interests are shared.
When America goes to war or plans one (direct or proxy), Britain marches in lockstep.
One rogue state supports another. British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond and John Kerry specialize in bashing independent governments they want replaced with ones their regimes control.
Hammond's Foreign Office condemned Syria's right to defend itself against US recruited, armed, funded, trained and directed IS and other imported death squads ravaging the county.
It blamed Assad for their crimes. It lied claiming he uses chemical weapons, torture, starvation and "other despicable acts (as) methods of warfare."
Even America’s ‘Media Watchdogs’ Hide U.S.’s Ukrainian Nazification & Ethnic Cleansing
Eric Zuesse
The U.S.’news’ media are so censored and controlled, so that even America’s ‘media watchdog’ organizations — mediamatters.org and ffair.org on the left; and aim.org and mrc.org on the right — have hidden from the American public President Barack Obama’s Ukrainian coup in February 2014 that violently overthrew Ukraine’s democratically elected President and replaced him with a Ukrainian nazi (racist-fascist) rabidly eliminationist anti-Russian, police-state regime in Kiev, which, ever since America’s coup there, has been ethnically cleansing the Ukrainian Donbass region that had voted 90% for the man, Viktor Yanukovych, whom the Obama Administration overthrew. None of this is reported in the U.S. ‘news’ media — and America’s ‘media watchdog’ organizations hide the media's hiding of it, though these events could bring on a nuclear war with Russia, which is America’s real target in Ukraine, right next door to Russia.
No Deal on Iran's Nuclear Program - So Far
by Stephen Lendman
Reports of a deal reached over the weekend were way premature. As of Monday morning Lausanne time, key unresolved issues remain ahead of a March 31 deadline.
It could be extended days or weeks if all parties agree. Deadlines aren't written in stone. They're easily changed based on circumstances.
The latest as this is written comes from a senior Iranian negotiator, saying:
"No agreement has been achieved, and there are still issues which need to be resolved."
"Instead of launching a media hype, the concerned parties should quit their excessive demands and take the strategic decision if they want an agreement or continued pressure."
Massive News-Suppression That’s Become History-Suppression
Eric Zuesse
While I have always been puzzled at why Americans endorse the existence of a religious and therefore discriminatory nation, Israel, and at why we give more of our tax-money to that nation than to any other; and while I would not pretend to be an authority on those matters; I was stunned on 31 March 2015 to read a news report at counterpunch, "American Historical Association Censors Ad for Book on Israel, Palestine & the US Keeping 'Hidden History' Hidden," by Alison Weir, someone I’d never heard of before. She says there that AHA refuses to accept a paid advertisement for her historical book about the U.S.-Israel relationship — a historical matter that I have always found puzzling, and so was curious to know more about.
With the World Ridiculing Obama, It's Time to Dump Him and the Whole Bush League
LaRouchePAC
In what can only be described as a perfect irony, President Barack Obama spent the weekend playing golf in Florida with the director of Halliburton and the owner of the Houston Astros, further exposing his true Bush League pedigree. The entire world is ridiculing Obama, for his efforts to sabotage the AIIB, and for waging war against the new paradigm on behalf of Wall Street and London. Isn't it time for all sane Americans to rally to oust this treacherous character from the White House? Obama is guilty of many more crimes against the Constitution than are required for his removal. Anyone arguing that it is "not practical" to dump Obama is living in a fantasy world, ignoring the fact that the last desperate option, for the bankrupt British Empire, is to launch wars and chaos all across Eurasia. Over the weekend the Royal Air Force conducted the biggest maneuvers in 13 years, directed against Russian possible air incursions. NATO is moving weapons and personnel closer to the Russian border, in defiance of all post-Cold War agreements, as well as persistent Russian warnings, the most recent of which were delivered by President Putin, himself, last week, in an address before the directors of Russia's federal security service, FSB, that Russia will not capitulate to NATO blackmail.
From Gaza To Southampton – We Are All Palestinians
By Gilad Atzmon
For the second time in just a month, a British academic institution has been intimidated by an orchestrated Zionist lobby.
Yesterday we learned that Southampton University has decided to withdraw its permission to hold the academic conference on International Law and the State of Israel. The decision was taken on the grounds of “health and safety” with the university claiming it did not have enough resources to mitigate the “risks.”
This comes just one month after the Royal Northern College Of Music cancelled a concert of mine for similar safety reasons. Like Southampton University, the RNCM was bullied by a violent pro-Israel group and it took us only a few hours to learn that the spokesperson for the pro-Israeli body was an infamous crook as well as a football hooligan (see here).
US-Sponsored Slow-Motion Genocide in Yemen
by Stephen Lendman
Bush and Obama administrations murdered Yemenis for years - through drone terror-bombings and internal subversion killing mostly civilians.
Yemen is the region's poorest country. Its people suffer horrifically. US imperial policy exacerbates conditions greatly.
Before leaving to participate in Iranian nuclear talks in Lausanne on Sunday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov highlighted Washington's typical double standard hypocrisy.
On the one hand, it ousted Ukraine's democratically President Viktor Yanukovych - replacing him with putschist Nazi thugs.
Who Spies for Israel in Washington’s Nuclear Negotiations?
James Petras
Introduction
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) (3/25/15) headlined: ‘Israel Spied on Iran Nuclear Talks with the US”. The article goes on to detail the way in which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used the confidential information to sabotage the talks, including ‘playing them back to US legislators to undermine US diplomacy’.
The WSJ report of this incident tries to play down the serious implications of Israel’s espionage by claiming that Israeli spying of US diplomatic negotiations is ‘normal even among allies’; that ‘both sides do it’; that the US ‘tolerates’ Israeli spying; that the ‘Israelis have not directly spied on the US’ but use sympathetic US agents . . . and several other excuses for Israel’s behavior.
