Is Saudi Arabia reviewing anti-MB approach?
By Khalid Amayreh in occupied East Jerusalem
Signs are rife that the new ruler of Saudi Arabia, King Salman, may be reconsidering his predecessor's decision to outlaw the Muslim Brotherhood (MB).
The late King Abdullah was apparently under the influence of "bad advisors" when he issued a hastily-prepared decree, classifying the MB, along with several other groups, as a terrorist group.
The MB is the biggest and by far most moderate contemporary Sunni Islamic movement, with followers and supporters spread all over the globe. Its ideological and political enemies, who include secularists, Shiites, Leftists and Arab nationalists, accuse it of extremism and violence. However, these enemies are yet to produce any concrete and irrefutable evidence corroborating their claims.
Copenhagen False Flag?
by Stephen Lendman
It's too early to know much about Saturday's. Rush to judgments can prove wrong.
Automatically calling these type incidents terrorist attacks is way over-the-top. On a typical Chicago weekend, multiple shootings occur.
Much like in other US cities nationwide. Most go unreported. Headlines don't scream "terrorism."
We'll never know the motive behind Copenhagen's incident. More on this below.
Perhaps what happened reflected an angry man losing it. Or maybe another state-sponsored false flag?
On Saturday, two people were reported killed. Five others injured in twin Copenhagen, Denmark shootings. One attack targeted the Krudttonden cultural center. At the time, it was hosting a discussion on Islam and free speech titled "Art, blasphemy, and the freedom of expression."
Ceasefire in Donbass?
by Stephen Lendman
Minsk reflects pause, not cessation of conflict. Call it a relative calm before a greater storm.
Previous articles explained a durable, sustainable peace in Donbass is pure fantasy.
Two previous ceasefires were agreed on. Followed by partial cessation of hostilities, then resumption of full-scale conflict.
Will this time be different? It hard imagining how given events so far.
Nothing suggests Washington abandoned its intent for total control over Ukraine nationwide - by any means necessary, including full-scale war with US troops directly involved.
Full Text of the February 12, 2015 Minsk Ceasefire Agreement
Stephen Lendman
According to the Financial Times, the following is based on a translation of the Russian document:
Measures for the implementation of the Minsk agreement
1. Immediate and comprehensive ceasefire in certain areas in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine and strict implementation of it starting at 00.00, Kiev time, February 15th
2. Withdrawal of all heavy weapons by both parties at equal distances to create a security zone of at least 50km from each other for artillery systems of 100mm calibre or more, a security zone 70km wide for multiple-launch rocket systems and a security zone 140km wide for multiple-launch rocket systems Tornado, Uragan, Smerch and tactical missile systems Tochka.
Kiev Breaches Minsk Agreement
by Stephen Lendman
It didn't surprise. Talks were futile. Kiev straightaway breached what it agreed to.
What it didn't intend observing in the first place. Even though ceasefire and other terms don't officially take effect until February 15.
At the same time, Russia and rebels are consistently blamed for Kiev crimes. Propaganda wars rage. Outrageous Big Lies substitute for hard truths. Western media scoundrels sunk to new lows, if that's possible, given their longstanding scandalous geopolitical misreporting.
Post-Minsk Russia Bashing
by Stephen Lendman
It doesn't surprise. Demonizing Russia is longstanding US policy. Presstitute media scoundrels march dutifully in lockstep.
Worse than ever now on Ukraine. Truth-telling obliterated by a daily blitzkrieg of Big Lies. A shocking display of media malpractice.
Progressive Radio News Hour guest Larry Pinkney justifiably calls their reporting "vomit." The good news is growing numbers of people reject it.
The bad news is most still accept what demands rejection. Irresponsible willful deception.
State propaganda masquerading as real journalism. Dangerous stuff driving things inexorably toward East/West confrontation. Like The New York Times headlining "US Faults Russia as Combat Spikes in East Ukraine."
The media is also culprit in the N. Carolina Triple murder
By Khalid Amayreh in Occupied Palestine
Western, especially American, reactions to this week's cold-blooded murder of three innocent Muslim college students in North Carolina have been grossly inadequate.
Major American news networks, have, more or less, treated the monstrous crime as a passing banality. Critical questions that ought to be asked were never asked, which means the stage is set for the perpetration of the next act of murder targeting Muslims.
True, the alleged murderer was detained by the police. However, the American media was also culprit in this crime and bears an important part of the blame for its occurrence.
The unrelenting Islamphobic discourse, that we keep hearing and watching in the U.S., does make the perpetration of such a crime inevitable. It would be dishonest to claim otherwise.
What's Next in Donbas?
by Stephen Lendman
The familiar scent of betrayal clouds just concluded Minsk ceasefire talks. Like previous times when hope exceeded reality.
Donbas is Obama's war. Washington controls what's ongoing. It arms, funds, trains and directs Kiev's military.
Neocons making policy want war, not peace. Chances for ending conflict are virtually nil. Obama didn't wage war to quit.
Kiev violated last April's four-party agreement before the ink was dry. Hoped for peace was fantasy. A joint April 17 US/EU/Russia/Ukraine statement proved meaningless.
Al Qaeda’s Bookkeeper Spills the Beans
Eric Zuesse
Zacarias Moussaoui was the bookkeeper for Al Qaeda, but the U.S. intelligence services have been keeping this fact secret as much as they can, because what he knows about the crucial financial backers of Al Qaeda can be very damaging to the U.S. aristocracy, which is heavily oil-based and closely allied with the Saudi royal family, which created Al Qaeda in order to please the Saudi clerics, who are Wahhabist Muslims who constantly threaten the royals with exposure of their economic and sexual corruption unless the royals finance the spread of the Wahhabist sect (such as by Al Qaeda), and thereby finance the spread of those clerics’ own international influence and power.
Or, so says the former bookkeeper of Al Qaeda, who was selected by Al Qaeda’s military chief, Abu Hafs (also known as “Mohammed Atef”), to serve Osama bin Laden in that capacity: Zacarias Moussaoui. This is his testimony, in brief.
Vaccine Induced Immune Overload
By Gary G. Kohls, MD
Vaccine Induced Immune Overload and the Epidemic of Chronic Autoimmune Childhood Diseases: (Trading Temporary, Often-Self-Limited Infectious Diseases of Childhood for Permanent Vaccine-induced Chronic Illnesses That Last a Lifetime)
Most people in our vaccine-overloaded society knows of one or more families that have one or more children with chronic, supposedly incurable (but probably preventable) diseases that will need lifelong, regular, costly physician “management” and the highly probable use of potentially toxic, costly, synthetic, possibly dependency-inducing medications that can cause additional prescription drug-induced illnesses (that may further sicken the already-ill children).
