Aleppo, Yabroud, and the end of the war on Syria

February 15th, 2014

The Syrian Arab Army may be on the verge of another set of victories that go far beyond those gained in the summer of 2013 when the Syrian army and Hezbollah took the rebel held city of Qusayr. The hotly contested battles rage in the major city of Aleppo and the much smaller mountain city of Yabrud. Major gains in either locale would be significant. Victories in both would raise questions about the various rebel factions and their ability to continue contesting for control of the country

How not to get aid into Homs, Yarmouk, and to 9.3 million Syrians via a UN Resolution

February 15th, 2014

Franklin Lamb
Al Nebek, Syria

Who authored the seemingly designed-to-fail UN Security Council Draft Resolution on delivering urgent humanitarian aid into the Old City of Homs and other besieged areas of conflict-torn Syria? When we know this, much may become clearer with respect to the cynical politicization of the continuing civilian suffering.

The draft resolution was put forward by Australia, Luxembourg, and Jordan, and according to a UN/US congressional source—one who actually worked on rounding up the three countries to front for the US and its allies—none was pleased with the decidedly raw and undiplomatic pressure they received from the office of US UN Ambassador Samantha Power.

Syrian Opposition Regime Change Plan

February 14th, 2014

by Stephen Lendman

Earlier articles explained. So-called Syrian National Coalition (SNC) delegates lack legitimacy. They're US stooges.

They're self-serving. They represent US interests. They're mindless of Syrian suffering. Assad must go, they demand.

They want Syrians having no say on who'll lead them. Day three of round two talks achieved nothing. SNC delegates presented a plan designed to be rejected. More on it below.

On February 12, Assad political/media advisor Bouthina Shaaban said talks so far resolved nothing. Opposition delegates want transitional governance.

Israeli Ethnic Cleansing

February 14th, 2014

by Stephen Lendman

It's longstanding state policy. It's what former Israeli politician Yigal Allon called maximum land with minimum Arabs.

It's dispossessing them for Jewish exclusivity. It's doing it extrajudicially. It's doing it without compromise.

It's claiming all land Israel wants belongs exclusively to Jews. Palestinian rights don't matter. They're persecuted for their faith, ethnicity and presence.

They're ethnically cleansed to make way for Jews. It's happening one bulldozed Palestinian home at a time. Destroying entire communities reflect it.

Last September, Jordan Valley Khiret Khallet Makhul community homes were demolished. Sixty Bedouin Arab Israeli citizens were affected.

They've lived there for many years. They grazed their livestock. They had to sleep outside with no shelter.

Duplicitous Geneva Diplomacy

February 13th, 2014

by Stephen Lendman

Washington can't be trusted. It doesn't negotiate in good faith. It never did. For sure, not now. Duplicity defines longstanding US policy.

Are current Obama negotiations more smoke and mirrors deception? Are they pretense, not real? Does he want sustained conflict, not peace? More on this below.

Geneva is a cosmopolitan city. It's a cultural center. It's a well-known multilateral diplomatic world capital. It's a traditional peace talk venue. It's been so for over a century.

It's home to earlier historic decisions. After WW I, it became the League of Nations' home city. The body's Palace of Nations remains largely unchanged today.

Post-WW II, Geneva became Europe's UN home. It's a preferred diplomatic choice. It's in neutral Switzerland. It's an easy flight from Washington or Moscow.

Grand Theft Healthcare

February 13th, 2014

by Stephen Lendman

Healthcare is about prioritizing health. Medical professionals say it's about maintaining, restoring and preserving it.

It's doing it through illness and disease prevention. It's obeying Hippocratic Oath principles. It's a sworn duty to heal.

It's about rendering treatments effectively. It's doing it responsibly. It's doing no harm.

Obamacare is polar opposite. Numerous previous articles explained. Marketplace medicine doesn't work.

Obamacare is a healthcare rationing scheme. It's a boon to predatory providers. It enriches insurers, drug companies and large hospital chains. It does so at the expense of proper care.

Bottom line priorities matter most. Healthcare industry crooks designed things this way. Obamacare is rife with disturbing inequities.

It's one of the greatest ever corporate scams. It's second only to Wall Street grand theft. It's a wealth transference scheme. More on this below.

Street Violence in Venezuela

February 13th, 2014

by Stephen Lendman

Since Chavez took office in February 1999, Washington instigated political, economic and street violence destabilization schemes.

On February 4, right-wing manipulated anti-government student protests began in San Cristobal. They erupted elsewhere. They turned violent. Washington's dirty hands are involved.

At issue is destabilizing Venezuela. It's toppling its government. Washington tried it before. Chavistas foiled an April 2002 coup attempt.

A 64-day 2002 - 03 general strike and oil management lockout followed. It caused severe economic disruption.

An August 2004 national recall referendum failed. Chavez won overwhelmingly. Other disruptions occur regularly. They continue. Current ones are the latest. More on them below.

Obama's Kill List

February 12th, 2014

by Stephen Lendman

Obama heads an administration Murder, Inc. agenda. He appointed himself judge, jury and executioner.

He targets anyone, anywhere for any reason or none at all. US citizens are vulnerable like foreign nationals.

Murdering them in cold blood is one Obama signature away. Drones are his weapon of choice. They're instruments of state terror. They target alleged enemies half a world away or nearby.

Rule of law principles don't matter. Obama makes his own rules. Despots govern this way. He operates like the worst of them. He does so with technological ease.

NYT Syria Bashing

February 12th, 2014

by Stephen Lendman

Times editors find new ways to disgrace themselves. Since conflict erupted in March 2011, they wrongfully blamed Assad for Obama's war.

He's vilified for US-backed death squad atrocities. He's held responsible for terrorists blocking aid to hundreds of thousands of displaced or entrapped Syrians.

Times policy is consistent. It's outrageous. It points fingers the wrong way. It's standard practice.

US Intelligence Community Worldwide Threat Assessment

February 12th, 2014

by Stephen Lendman

America has 16 known intelligence agencies. James Clapper is Director of National Intelligence (DNI).

On January 29, he presented his annual worldwide threat assessment. He did so to Senate Select Committee on Intelligence members.

He lied calling terrorism "persistent threats to US interests overseas." None exist except ones America invents.
