Crimeans Vote on Joining Russia
by Stephen Lendman
Ahead of the vote, John Kerry and Sergei Lavrov met in London. US pressure to get Russia to accept US demands failed.
Both nations are geopolitical opposites. Washington demands its way or else. Moscow respects the right of sovereign people to choose their own future freely.
Kerry called Russia's endorsing the right of Crimeans to secede "a backdoor annexation of Crimea." He demands it remain part of Ukraine.
He ignores the right of sovereign people to choose their future freely. He wants Washington rules enforced.
Lavrov said Russia respects "the declaration of the will of the Crimean people in the coming referendum of March 16."
"We have confirmed out stance...repeatedly," he stressed. Ukraine's crisis is not Russia's doing, he added.

Israel Steals Palestinian Resources
by Stephen Lendman
Ethnic cleansing is official Israeli policy. So is stealing Palestinian land and resources. Fundamental rule of law principles don't matter.
What Israel wants it takes. It's longstanding policy. Martin Schulz is European Parliament president. He visited Israel.
On February 12, he addressed Knesset members. Outrage followed his remarks. Fascist Israeli MKs walked out in protest.
Days earlier he met a Palestinian youth. "Why can an Israeli use 70 cubic liters of water daily and a Palestinian only 17," he asked.
Schulz raised the issue in his remarks. He said he hadn't "checked the data. I'm asking you if this is correct."
Right-wing extremist MK Moti Yogev shouted at him while he was speaking. "Shame on you," he said. "You support someone who incites against Jews.
Washington's Dirty War on Venezuela
by Stephen Lendman
Throughout his tenure, Obama plotted one lawless regime change scheme after another. How many are too many?
What new ones does he plan? How many more wars will he wage? How much more carnage will follow?
How much more death, destruction and unspeakable human misery? How much more violence and instability?
How much longer will nations for peace and security put up with US lawlessness? Resisting it is a global imperative. Saving humanity from the madness of imperial rampaging depends on it.
America tolerates no independent governments. It want pro-Western puppet ones replacing it. It wants ones it controls. It wants Washington rules enforced.
Post-911 wars alone ravaged one country after another. New conflicts are planned. Permanent war is longstanding US policy.
Propaganda War on Russia Rages
by Stephen Lendman
Media scoundrels march in lockstep with imperial US policies. Truth is systematically suppressed. One-sided misreporting, commentaries and analysis substitute.
The New York Times is a longstanding lead instrument of US propaganda. On March 13, it headlined "Russian Troops Mass at Border with Ukraine," saying:
"...Russia massed troops and armored vehicles in at least three regions along Ukraine's eastern border on Thursday, alarming the interim Ukraine government about a possible invasion and significantly escalating tensions in the crisis between the Kremlin and the West."
White House Crime Boss Powwow
by Stephen Lendman
On March 12, Ukraine's illegitimate putschist prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Obama met in the Oval Office.
A previous article said Yatsenyuk came to meet his new boss. He got marching orders. He learned more about Obama's plans to rape and pillage Ukraine. More on what they both said below.
Meanwhile, on March 5, House Res. 499 "Condemn(ed) the violation of Ukrainian sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity by military forces of the Russian Federation."
It called for removing all Russian military troops from Crimea except Black Sea Fleet forces operating in accordance with 1997 Friendship Treaty terms.
It permits up to 25,000 Russian forces. Around 16,000 are currently there. None operate illegally on Crimean territory. Claims otherwise are false.
Israel Attacks Gaza - Again
by Stephen Lendman
Israel invents pretexts to attack. Other times, it provokes them lawlessly. Palestinians are wrongfully blamed for its crimes. Incidents happen repeatedly.
Islamic Jihad (IJ) responded to multiple Israeli killings. So did other Gazan resistance groups.
They included the National Resistance Brigades, Abu Mustafa Brigades, and Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade.
They called doing so "Breaking the Silence." Ihab al-Ghussein is Gaza-based Palestinian Authority Interior Ministry spokesman.
He called Israel "responsible for any escalation." He warned of "consequences."
Obama, Brennan, Geithner, and Gates
Michael Collins
We're six years into the Obama administration and nothing much has changed concerning the most fundamental challenges facing the citizens of the United States. Those challenges are:
- Reviving and reforming an economy that is rigged for only the very wealthiest interests;
- Ending the usurpation of individual rights by the national intelligence cabal; and
- Freeing the nation and the world from the endless insertion of U.S. intelligence and military operations throughout the world.
We have the same lousy economy with the same greedy interests in charge of the same too big to fail institutions making sure that they alone prosper. Tax incentives and government supports are for the very few in the top 0.001%. It is all about Wall Street at the expense of working people and Main Street.
NYT Editors Wage War on Truth
by Stephen Lendman
News fit to read isn't The Times long suit. Managed news misinformation substitutes for what readers most need to know.
Truth and full disclosure are verboten. Times editors are on the wrong side of history. They call imperial wars liberating ones.
Perpetual ones are glorified in the name of peace. Society's worst are honored. The best among us are vilified.
Warmakers win peace prizes. Doing the right thing is called wrongdoing. Daily events should scare everyone.
Today is the most perilous time in world history. Peace in our time no longer exists. US waged war on humanity replaced it.
Media scoundrels march in lockstep. Policies they support threaten everyone. They endorse a malevolent system. They support pure evil.
Malicious Russia bashing rages. Putin is public enemy number one. Challenging US imperial lawlessness responsibly isn't tolerated. Media scoundrels pillory him for doing so.
Times columnists, commentators and editors march in lockstep with other Putin bashers. Daily narratives reflect group think maliciousness.
Meet Obama's New Ukrainian Friends
by Stephen Lendman
On February 27, 2014, they announced their so-called "Ukrainian government of people's trust."
It includes a rogue's gallery of societal misfits. Many are militant fascists. They're thugs. They're criminals.
They're illegitimate putschists. They're xenophobic, hate-mongering, ultranationalist anti-Semites. Combined they represent mob rule.
They make mafia bosses look saintly by comparison. They threaten world peace. They vowed to fight. They urge NATO intervention.
For the first time since WW II, overt fascists have real power. They hold major government posts.
