Where is the West's outrage at the bloodbath in Egypt?
By Khalid Amayreh in occupied Palestine
I haven't been surprised a bit by the ignominious deafening silence of most Western capitals at the latest bloodbath in the streets of Egypt.
There, mostly ignorant and impoverished police conscripts were ordered to open fire rather indiscriminately on peaceful protesters marking the fourth anniversary of the 25 January-2011 uprising. For its part, the Western backed regime struggled to concoct all sorts of mendacious claims to justify the wanton killings. As of today, we haven't seen any credible reaction even remotely resembling the vacuous but huge "party" following the terrorist attacks in Paris a few weeks ago.
Greek Election: Mixed Messages, Hold the Cheers
by Stephen Lendman
Greece perhaps represents the epicenter of global pillage. Troika (EU, ECB, IMF) diktats wrecked its economy.
Paying bankers first matters most. They make serial killers look good by comparison. Creating economic crises. Chaos. Taking full advantage to facilitate grand theft, financial terrorism and debt entrapment.
Mass impoverishment, high unemployment, neo-serfdom and human misery follow. Troika policies made Greece zombie-like.
Putin's Message to Washington on Ukraine
by Stephen Lendman
Putin is a master politician. Well aware of America's imperial designs. Its evil intentions. Wanting Russia marginalized, contained, destabilized, weakened, isolated, smothered and controlled. Using Ukraine as a dagger against it.
Wanting pro-Western stooge governance replacing him. Beholden to US interests. Enabling them to carve up Russia for profit. Steal its resources. Exploit it people. Make Russia America's newest colony. Control its vast land mass. One sixth of planet earth's land area.
America's War on Everything It Claims to Stand For
by Stephen Lendman
What kind of nation scorns basic precepts free societies cherish? Mocks them. Operates extrajudicially. Polar opposite what it claims to support. Rewarding its wicked. Most reprehensible. Punishing its best, brightest, most honorable and deserving of praise.
What nation has far and away the world's worst human and civil rights record over a longer duration? Affecting the greatest number of people.
Which one bears more full responsibility for multiple global genocides? At home and abroad.
Which cares only for its rich, well-born and privileged? No others. Which more systematically wants its middle class eliminated? Its working population exploited as serfs.
Rupert Murdoch’s Sky News Portrays Ukraine’s ‘Far Right’ as ‘Heroes’
Eric Zuesse
On January 22nd, Rupert Murdoch’s Sky News (Murdoch founded it, his son James headed it for a while, and their 21st Century Fox owns a controlling stake”“ in it) telecast a puff-piece for Ukraine’s right-wing extremists, several times calling them “heroes” to “patriotic” Ukrainians. This segment of their documentary series “Ross Kemp: Extreme World,” was titled “Ukraine: The Rise of The Right.” In it, Ukraine’s “far right” are described as being patriots who are protecting all of Ukraine from a Russian invasion, and who are therefore being increasingly admired by Ukrainians. It says: “The ultras [ultra-rightists] are actually patriotic young people who are ready to fight — not only on the Maidan, but also at the war for our land. … These men — seen now by many as heroes — are fighting for the Azov Battalion in Mariupol, Maryinka and Iliovaisk.”
Mariupol Shelling: Kiev's Latest False Flag?
by Stephen Lendman
Previous Kiev false flag attacks suggest Saturday's Mariupol shelling perhaps its latest. It remains to be seen what further evidence discloses.
Throughout months of fighting, Kiev sought to blame Donbas self-defense forces for its crimes of war and against humanity.
Including gruesome atrocities. Use of cluster bombs, chemical and other illegal weapons. Downing MH17.
Systematic shelling of residential and other non-military areas. Recent Volnovakha and Donetsk bus attacks. Willfully murdering civilian men, women and children.
A Personal Note On Jewish Statistics
By Gilad Atzmon
The British political establishment is in a state of panic. A poll revealed last week that “a quarter of Jews in Britain have considered leaving the country in the last two years and well over half (58%) feel they have no long term future in Europe.” This could be a potential disaster for British political parties. Eighty per cent of the Tories are members of the pro Israeli lobby, The Conservative Friends Of Israel (CFI), and a similar percentage of Labour and Libdem MPs have vowed their allegiance to Israel through their respective Jewish Lobby groups. The Jews are clearly a vital source of funding for British politicians. In fact, it has become hard to imagine what British politics would look like without Jewish Lobby’s money. Though the vast majority of British MPs are friends of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, it has not been established how many of our MPs are friendly with Manchester and Hartlepool.
Lunatics Run the Washington Asylum
by Stephen Lendman
Never in world history has one nation threatened humanity's survival like America. Wars without end rage.
Against invented enemies. New ones follow with disturbing regularity. Peace is pure fantasy.
Obama wants congressional authorization for unconstrained war. Ignoring international law. Claiming it's to fight IS. One of his many Big Lies.
A companion article suggests Pentagon officials now direct Kiev's war on Donbas. Besides supplying its military with heavy weapons and munitions covertly.
So-called joint US/Ukrainian training operations may be prelude to direct American intervention. With Pentagon forces on the front lines. Waging war close to Russia's border. One major false flag away from potential US/Russian conflict.
Pentagon Directing Kiev' War on Donbas?
by Stephen Lendman
Washington relies heavily on allies and proxies to advance its imperial agenda. It actively supports and encourages Kiev's aggression on Donbas.
Funding and arming its military. Supplying heavy weapons and munitions covertly. Assuming a local guerrilla force could easily be defeated. Hoped for victory became rout. Earlier last spring and summer. Again a few days after Kiev launched its new offensive last Sunday. More on this below.
A previous article discussed Pentagon plans to deploy US combat troops to Ukraine. For a so-called "training operation." A "first step." Mission creep suggests much more to come.
NATO Commander Lied Claiming Possible Russian Invasion of Ukraine Coming
by Stephen Lendman
How many previous times did Big Lies proliferate about hoards of Russians coming? Claimed by US officials. Other Western ones.
Former NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen. Current NATO head Jens Stoltenberg.
The latest on January 22 from NATO commander US General Philip Breedlove. Earlier he suggested the same thing. More on what he said below.
Last August, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki claimed a nonexistent "Russian-directed counteroffensive is likely underway in Donetsk and Luhansk."
