Lurching Toward Armageddon
by Stephen Lendman
Neocon lunatic fringe elements infest Washington. They control US policy - notably on issues of war and peace.
They're using NATO and US installed Ukrainian Nazis to stoke direct confrontation with Russia.
Daily geopolitical events should scare everyone. Gunslinger NATO commander General Philip Breedlove rails about nonexistent "Russian aggression." He wants Minsk sabotaged. He wants war, not peace. He wants full US-led Western support given Ukraine to wage it.
Obama Risks WW III
by Stephen Lendman
WW I was supposed to be the war to end all wars. WW II for sure - fought to eliminate the scourge of fascism.
Its headquarters moved from Berlin to Washington. Never again became permanent wars of conquest - from Truman to Obama and whoever succeeds him.
One independent nation after another is targeted. Obama wages so many direct and proxy wars, it's hard keeping track.
America spends trillions of dollars for mass slaughter, destruction and human immiseration.
It threatens humanity's survival. Its combat forces operate in scores of countries worldwide.
Washington Declares Political and Economic War on Russia
by Stephen Lendman
Washington wants one of its main rivals marginalized, weakened, contained and isolated.
It wants its sovereign independence destroyed. It wants it made another vassal client state.
It wants control of its vast resources. It wants them plundered for profit. It wants ordinary Russians exploited as virtual serfs.
It risks nuclear war to achieve its imperial objectives. The threat of its outbreak was never greater.
Spy Master a Lethal Melanoma
SARTRE
The formation of a bureaucratic superstructure for national intelligence will put in motion a perverse organism. The significance lies not in the figurehead or even the process for the selection, but rests in the birthing of a Medusa. Little wisdom comes out of this modern daughter of Phorkys and Keto, the children of Gaia (Earth) and Okeanos (Ocean). This ugly creature will use the charms of seduction – national security – but will end up spreading a den of snakes. The globe will be her playpen and the seas will be her lake. No one or no place will fall outside her watch. She will run her hydra network through all those underling heads, but in the end her advice will revival that of Eve. The mother of all evil won’t be a gender bias for any director will impose paternity over the stream of information. The children of this fraudulent union will bear the price from her wrath. Overseas enemies will feel the force of her boot. And the only creature to resist her might may well be those who run under the radar screen.
Kiev Rejects Minsk Mandated Donbass Self-Rule
by Stephen Lendman
Minsk II terms Kiev agreed to mandated parliamentary legislation affording Donbass "special regime" self-rule within 30 days of the document's February 12 signing.
Kiev missed the deadline. On March 17, it reneged. It passed draft legislation only.
It declared Donetsk and Lugansk "temporarily occupied territories."
It refused special autonomous status. It postponed entering the law into force until elections are held.
The Donetsk News Agency quoted Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) parliament speaker Denis Pushilin saying:
"Uncoordinated amendments to the law made by Poroshenko are not recognized by the (DPR and LPR) republics."
U.S. opens up to Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, Syria, and Iran
By Nicola Nasser*
The appointment of Robert Malley as White House Coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf Region is not considered a sufficient indicator that there will be any radical change in U.S. strategy despite the campaign launched against the U.S. by the Zionists due to its openness to Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, Syria and Iran.
On 6 March, President Barack Obama's administration appointed Robert Malley, the former senior director of the National Security Council who dealt with the Iraqi, Iranian, and Gulf issues, and a member of the delegation negotiating the Iranian nuclear programme, as the Special White House Coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and Gulf region. Malley is scheduled to assume his new position on 6 April, succeeding Philip Gordon.
Arab World: Political Disintegration and Search for Reason
Dr. Mahboob A. Khawaja
Terror is the engine of war. And terror is what all sides in this conflict produce in overabundance …….We torture hostages in our black sites and choke them to death by stuffing rags down their throats. They torture hostages in squalid hovels and behead them. We organize Shiite death squads to kill Sunnis. They organize Sunni death squads to kill Shiites. We produce high-budget films such as “American Sniper” to glorify our war crimes. They produce inspirational videos to glorify their twisted version of jihad. The barbarism we condemn is the barbarism we commit. The line that separates us from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is technological, not moral. We are those we fight. …..“From violence, only violence is born,” Primo Levi wrote, “following a pendular action that, as time goes by, rather than dying down, becomes more frenzied.” (Chris Hedges, “The Terror We Give Is the Terror We Get” Truthdig: 2/08/2015)
Snubbing Russia, Reinventing History
by Stephen Lendman
The self-styled "indispensable nation" wages shameless political and economic war on Russia.
It bullies other nations to support its imperial agenda, or else. It bludgeons nonbelievers.
It wages permanent wars of aggression on humanity, It blames victims for its high crimes.
No nation in world history did more harm to more people over a longer duration than America. Without Soviet Russia's enormous contribution and sacrifices, Hitler might have won WW II.
Why the Western Alliance Is Ending
Eric Zuesse
World leaders — heads of state especially — tend to be tactful people, whatever else might be said about them. When they discover that one of their number happens to be incredibly arrogant and psychopathic (and some leading psychopaths are skilled charmers; they’re not necessarily blatant about their aggressive intents like Hitler was), they don’t generally publicize the discovery of this unpleasant fact, because doing so would be worse than tactless: it would be downright stupid — it would jeopardize lots of the interdependencies that nations have with one-another. It would be counterproductive.
Obama's War on Russia
by Stephen Lendman
Obama's lunatic neocon infested administration declared war on Russia. Its lawless Ukraine policy alone shows it.
It's raging politically through vicious propaganda, economically through illegal sanctions, and militarily by US-dominated NATO's relentless push east.
It's surrounding Russia with menacing bases. They risk sparks able to ignite conflict. Lunatics making policy in Washington may start WW III. It's no exaggeration calling today the most perilous time in world history. Global peace hangs by a thread. Things ominously resemble events preceding WW I and II.
