Raucous Swearing In of Israel's New Ruling Coalition
by Stephen Lendman
It's the most extremist in Israel's history. It's not a legitimate government of, by and for all Israelis equitably. It's polar opposite.
It's a racist, apartheid, fascist coalition headed by Netanyahu's Likud party in bed with fundamentalist religious zealots. It bested other parties with only 25% support.
So-called Israeli democracy is farcical, an illusion. None whatever exists. Palestinian MKs are impotent - potted plants with no policymaking say whatever, mocked, vilified and at times openly attacked. Netanyahu is a world-class thug - an unindicted war criminal belonging in prison for high crimes against peace.
America's top regional ally is a lawless, fascist police state. One rogue regime supports another - a criminal alliance against peace, stability, equity and justice.
Kiev Heads Closer to Resuming Full-Scale War on Donbass
by Stephen Lendman
Poroshenko awaits Obama's OK to launch it. He openly promised continued war until fascist opponents are crushed.
"We will fight to the last drop of blood," he blustered. He continues irresponsible ranting about nonexistent "Russian aggression."
Ukraine is a US-installed fascist police state. Fundamental democratic rights are prohibited - including a free and open media.
On Thursday, thuggish Ukrainian security forces shut down Odessa's Timer independent online news service. Its editor-in-chief, Yuri Tkachov, three journalists and web site administrator were arrested.
They'll likely be charged with "conspiracy to encroach on Ukraine's territorial integrity and inviolability" for reporting hard truths Kiev wants suppressed.
Israeli Defense Minister Threatens to Nuke Iran
by Stephen Lendman
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon is a holdover from Netanyahu's previous extremist coalition regime.
He's part of Israel's lunatic fringe running things. He addressed a Shurat Hadin (Israel Law Center) conference in Jerusalem titled Toward a New Law of War.
The organization includes anti-Palestinian Israeli lawyers advocating judicial action worldwide to absolve Israeli war crimes.
It conducts irresponsible law suits. It maintains close ties to Israel's security establishment. It's a de facto Mossad proxy. "I can still look at myself in the mirror," Ya'alon said trying to justify the unjustifiable - naked Israeli aggression on Gaza last summer, including willfully targeting civilians.
Ya'alon suggested premeditated war is morally right. He vilified BDS as "another tool" used against Israel by its enemies.
Saudi Arabia: Headed Toward Becoming Nuclear Armed and Dangerous?
by Stephen Lendman
Saudi Arabia is a radicalized Islamist police state threatening the entire region with terrorism and belligerence.
Reports indicate Riyadh wants or intends becoming nuclear armed - on the bogus pretext of countering Iran's known peaceful nuclear program.
Last November, BBC diplomatic and defence editor Mark Urban said months earlier "a senior NATO decision maker told me that he had seen intelligence reporting that nuclear weapons made in Pakistan on behalf of Saudi Arabia are now sitting ready for delivery." They're paid for - ready to be shipped on request. A WikiLeaks reported State Department cable called it "logical for the Saudis to step in as the physical 'protector' of the Arab world by seeking nuclear weapons."
The Jewish Solidarity Spin
By Gilad Atzmon
Dear friends, this is pretty much a summery of my argument against Jewish power and the corrosive impact of Jewish left. If you are interested in my work or even oppose everything I do, I urge you to watch (or read) this talk.
In order to grasp the way in which contemporary solidarity terminology operates to deceive and derail the Palestinian cause, we will look at a few theoretical simulations that will help to clarify the corrosive nature that is the contemporary pro Palestinian discourse.
Nabil is a fictional 25-year-old Palestinian, 3rd generation refugee born and living in Sabra and Shatila, Lebanon. Nabil is unemployed. No prospect of a future for him. As a Palestinian refugee his chances of higher education or a decent job are non-existent. Nabil cannot even obtain a travel document. He is stranded in the camp.
Why Elites Love Drones
Robert J. Burrowes
I sometimes read that drone strikes are counterproductive to western security interests because each person killed by a drone results in more new 'terrorists'. See, for example, 'The more civilians US drones kill in the Mideast, the more radicals they create'. http://rt.com/op-edge/252705-drone-operation-us-strategy-military/
However, this analysis completely fails to understand what is driving elite military policy, carried out by the United States elite and key elite allies within NATO and elsewhere. In brief: drone strikes work precisely because they provoke violent responses which help elites to 'justify' their perpetual war to secure control of the world's diminishing supplies of fossil fuels, water and strategic minerals while tightening control of domestic populations through expansion of the security and surveillance state.
Netanyahu Appoints Hardline Peace Negotiator
by Stephen Lendman
Silvan Shalom
So-called Israeli/Palestinian peace talks are farcical when held - the greatest hoax in modern times, dead on arrival every time.
Netanyahu deplores peace. He opposes Palestinian self-determination. So does his new chief negotiator - hardline Likudnik Silvan Shalom.
He's interior minister and deputy prime minister. Appointing him peace negotiator underscores Netanyahu's contempt for Palestinian rights.
State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke downplayed what demands outrage saying "(w)e continue to believe that a two-state solution in vital." "It is not a secret that the new Israeli government includes cabinet members who do not necessarily believe in that premise." In 2012, Shalom said Likud officials "are all against a Palestinian state. There is no question about it."
Mazal Tov To Ludwig Watzal and The ‘Call For BDS’
By Gilad Atzmon
It is encouraging to read that Ludwig Watzal, my prime detractor in Germany, has now fully embraced my criticism of Jewish liberals and the Jewish Left. Watzal now admits that the BDS Movement has been hijacked by Liberal Zionists.
Just a few years ago, Watzal labelled me a racist and an ‘anti-Semite’ for suggesting in “The Wandering Who” that the Jewish Left operates as a controlled opposition apparatus. Watzal’s review of The Wandering Who complained that: “The book is very well written, which make its harmful and racist theses more dangerous.” His review also said, Atzmon’s “hatred is directed not only against the Zionists, but above all against Jewish Left, left anti-Zionists and those who oppose the Israeli government policy as Jews.”
Much Respect To And For Jeffrey Sterling!--
Larry Pinkney
Jeffrey Sterling
"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X [el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz]
Remember that in 2015, a real human being who happened to be a Black man, Jeffrey Sterling, paid dearly for being honest and for-real! The vast majority of the so-called 'Black intelligentsia' (like many of their White counterparts) have demonstrated that they are simply insidious opportunists and despicable political harlots! It is reminiscent of the classic novel entitled, The Spook Who Sat Beside The Door, by Sam Greenlee. Without 'whistle blowers' such as Jeffrey Sterling, the people of this nation and throughout Mother Earth are doomed!!!!
Derailing Amtrak: Tracking the Latest Disaster in the Infrastructure Crisis
by Ellen Brown
The dangerous underfunding of US infrastructure was underscored by a fatal train derailment on May 12th. The tragedy did not deter the House Appropriations Committee from voting to slash Amtrak funding the very next day. There are ways Congress could fund its massive infrastructure bill without raising taxes. But the conservative-controlled Congress seems to have other plans for the nation’s profitable public assets.
The May 12th train derailment near Philadelphia, which killed eight people and hospitalized 200, was the deadliest Amtrak accident in recent history. The train barreled around a dangerous bend at 106 mph, more than double the 50 mph speed limit for the curve.
