Hypocrisy in Paris
by Stephen Lendman
Sunday headlines said huge crowds massed in Paris. Protected by "unparalleled" security, according to AP.
Including thousands of police and military forces. Along the two-mile Boulevarde Voltaire route marchers took.
An "unprecedented tribute," said Reuters. Showing "unity and defiance," claimed The New York Times. "(S)olidarity following three days of terrorist attacks that badly shook the nation," said the Washington Post.
"Paris displays defiance with huge rally," headlined the Wall Street Journal.
"Paris urged to 'come in numbers' to defy Islamist terror," said the Los Angeles Times.
London's Guardian said one million "expected for anti-terror rally."
Waging Phony War on Terror
by Stephen Lendman
Waging it isn't new. Enemies are needed. When none exist they're invented.
Reagan denounced the "evil scourge of terrorism." Specifically state-sponsored international terrorism. The "plague of the modern age," he said.
His Secretary of State George Schultz called it "modern barbarism. (A) form of political violence. (A) threat to Western civilization. (A) menace to Western moral values."
GW Bush declared war on terrorism. To "rid the world of evildoers. (N)ot let evil stand."
Orwell said political rhetoric defends the indefensible. So-called wars on terrorism are wars of terrorism. State-sponsored. Against designated individuals, groups or nations.
The late Howard Zinn asked "(h)ow can you make war on terrorism if war is terrorism." Governments are the greatest terrorist threats.
US Code defines terrorism as activities involving:
Paris Terror Attack: Unequivocal Warning To French President Hollande
President Hollande Expressed Strong Misgivings About The Sanction Regime Against Russia
France declares an end to the Russian sanctions just two days before the terror attacks
France, more than any other nation in the European Union (EU), has been coming under increasing criticism and scrutiny from both within and outside of the EU. The Anglo-Amercian power structure has always been quick to reign in any ‘cavalier’ demonstrations of French independence. President Charles de Gaulle’s resistance to NATO membership is a perfect example of this historical pattern, as were the several assassination attempts on his life and subsequent isolation of France over many years.

Fast forward to 2015 and the recent terrorist attacks on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper offices. This staged attack was clearly executed with deliberate intent to produce specific outcomes within the European Union. The desired results of those who fabricated this event are becoming more clear with each passing day. Certainly, French President François Hollande will be re-thinking his commitment to ending the sanctions against Russia that he had expressed just 2 days before the ‘terror event’ in Paris.

With each passing terror attack, the first two questions which must be asked are who loses, and who gains.
Cui bono?
That’s obvious, especially whenever the terrorists (along with their names and addresses, Facebook pages and hashtags) have been identified before the attacks even take place. The Clash of Civilizations was predicted, and planned, with the penning of Freemason Albert Pike’s letter about three successive world wars planned for the 20th century. But this is the 21st century! What happened?
“The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”[1]
What happened is exactly what the world is experiencing throughout 2014 and now, 2015. That being extreme desperation on the part of the ruling cabal (aka the World Shadow Government) to start a World War III anyway they can.
Who really loses in the wake of these terror attacks on Charlie Hebdo?
Field Notes on Reality: Hard Truths Buried When Most Needed
by Stephen Lendman
Western societies are rife with hypocrisy. Imperial wars are called liberating ones. State-sponsored propaganda glorifies them in the name of peace.
Terrorism is what they do. Not us. Media scoundrels regurgitate official Big Lies ad nauseam. Burying hard truths when most needed.
Willfully deceiving readers and viewers. Supporting powerful monied interests. At the expense of ordinary people struggling to survive.
Growing numbers fighting a losing battle. Crushed by so-called Western civilization. Destroying humanity one country at a time.
Today's world is increasingly hostile. Mindless of vital people needs and welfare. Exploiting them for greater wealth, power and privilege.
Ukraine’s Creditors Grab for the Biggest Pieces of Its Carcass
Eric Zuesse
The lifelong Russia-enemy George Soros, and the Russian Government itself, are now openly fighting over which parts of the Ukrainian Government they’ll be getting in the bankruptcy proceeding that’s already unofficially starting.
Here’s the necessary background, so that the battle now occurring on the part of Ukraine’s creditors can be truthfully and honestly understood:
In December 2013 — just before the overthrow of the Russia-friendly Ukrainian Government of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, by Soros’s American President and major political-campaign investment, Barack Obama — Russia lent Ukraine $3 billion with a contract saying that if Ukraine’s debt would rise above 60% of Ukraine’s GDP, then Russia would be able to demand immediate repayment, and Ukraine agreed to the contract’s condition that Ukraine wouldn’t pay a cent to any other creditor before the entire due-balance on this $3 billion loan is returned to Russia.
Paris Killings Postmortems
by Stephen Lendman
Coulibaly and his girlfriend Hayat Boumedienne
On Friday, three days rocking Paris ended. Cherif and Said Kouachi took refuge in a Dammartin-en-Goele printing company facility.
French security forces stormed it. Reports said gunfire was exchanged. Both brothers were killed.
Separately, Amedy Coulibaly seized the Hyper Cacher food market in eastern Paris. Took hostages.
Threatened to kill them if police stormed the facility where the Kouachi brothers were holed up.
French security forces moved in. Killing Coulibaly. Four hostages were found dead. Five others wounded. Dead men tell no tales.
Global Power Project: Bilderberg Group and the Power of the Finance Ministry
by Andrew Gavin Marshall
This is the seventh installment in a series looking at the activities and individuals behind the Bilderberg Group. Read the first part, second part, third part, fourth part, fifth part and sixth part in the series.
Throughout the course of the financial and debt crises in Europe, politicians played a supporting role to financial markets and financial technocrats – that is, the economists, academics, central bankers, finance ministers and heads of international organizations who articulate the interests of powerful financial and social groups in the technocratic language of "expertise," and who enact policies, create and shape major institutions, and whose decisions affect the lives of hundreds of millions, even billions, of people.
A number of the world’s top technocrats between 2008 and 2014 have been members or guests of Bilderberg meetings. Most especially, European technocrats have been highly represented within the membership, and were among the most influential players throughout Europe’s financial and debt crises. This article examines the technocratic institution of the "Finance Ministry," specifically as it relates to the European debt crisis and the Bilderberg Group.

State of the Nation
That a Nobel Peace Prize winner would lead the charge to bring wrack and ruin to a nation like Russia is not as surprising as one would think. The USA has always been used as the primary policeman for the Anglo-American Axis (AAA), especially when military aggression is required to prevent any given nation from leaving the dollar-denominated reservation. Which is precisely why the Nobel Committee gave Barack Obama cover by fraudulently awarding him the ‘peace prize’. They knew he would be leading the USA & Company against the Russian boogeyman in the not-too-distant future. That future is 2014.
Prior to an outright military invasion the AAA has historically utilized an assortment of economic assaults and financial attacks to soften up ‘the enemy’. The current regime of extra-legal US and European sanctions, no matter what form they have taken, are all designed to destroy the Russian economy. Whether it has been declared or not, the Western powers have commenced a full blown, economic/financial war against Russia.
What very few people realize is that Obama’s rise to the presidency ONLY occurred with his agreement to prosecute Russia whenever directed to do so. In fact much of his 2008 election campaign rhetoric concerning foreign policy was peppered with language that clearly reflected his loyalty to the Cold Warriors of yesteryear. How else does anyone think he could have accumulated a record-smashing $750 million in campaign contributions?

Police State France
by Stephen Lendman
Washington took full advantage of 9/11. Sweeping police state laws followed. They remain in place.
Including the USA Patriot Act. Eviscerating fundamental Bill of Rights freedoms. The Homeland Security Act. Establishing a national Gestapo for the first time.
Various other measures targeting personal freedoms. Including unilateral executive judge, jury and executioner authority.
Rule of law protections no longer apply. Perhaps tougher laws will follow Wednesday's Paris killings.
UK police state laws are some of the continent's toughest. Including its 2005 Prevention of Terrorism Act. Eviscerating longstanding legal protections.
Donbas Humanitarian Crisis
by Stephen Lendman
US-supported Kiev putschists want Donbas residents starved to death.
On Christmas eve, Amnesty International (AI) headlined "Eastern Ukraine: Humanitarian disaster as food aid blocked."
