Escalating Syria's War
by Stephen Lendman
Syria is Washington's war. It was planned years ago. At issue is regime change. America tolerates no independent governments. It wants pro-Western puppet ones replacing them.
Death squad terror is policy. Washington upped the stakes. Headlines suggest chemical weapons use. Both sides trade accusations. Nothing's verified.
Mossad-connected DEBKAfile headlined "Witnesses report onset of chemical warfare in Syria," saying:
A "Reuters photographer said he (saw) people come into two Aleppo hospitals with breathing problems after the attack. They claimed people were suffocating on the streets."
Remembering Rachel Corrie
by Stephen Lendman
Rachel represented the best of courageous activism. She put her body on the line for justice. She did so because it matters. She's gone but not forgotten.
Ten years ago on March 16, an Israeli bulldozer driver murdered her in cold blood. She tried stopping a Rafah refugee camp home demolition.
Eye witnesses said she climbed atop a giant Caterpillar tractor. They designed to destroy homes. They're weapons of mass destruction. Caterpillar's complicit in Israeli crimes.
Rachel spoke to the driver. She climbed down. She knelt 10 - 20 meters in front. She blocked its path with her body. She was in clear view.
Israel's Fascist Government: Part II
by Stephen Lendman
On March 18, Israel's new government was sworn in. Doing so hardened fascist rule. A previous article explained.
Israelis elected their most extremist government ever. It's hugely over-the-top. It's militantly hardline, racist and unscrupulous. It menaces the region.
It supports state-sponsored terrorism, belligerence, neoliberal harshness, and unlimited settlement expansions.
Troika partners rule. Netanyahu remains prime minister. He's an embarrassment to democratic governance. He spurns rule of law principles. He deplores peace. Expect more conflict on his watch.
Holding Harvard's Crimson Accountable
by Stephen Lendman
Harvard's motto is "VERITAS." It's shield and class rings display it. At issue is anti-Palestinian bias.
Harvard Political Review (HPR) explained. It's separate from Harvard's Crimson. HC's the nation's oldest continuously published college newspaper. It began as a fortnightly. For decades it's been a daily.
It was founded in 1873. Past editors included Franklin Roosevelt and Jack Kennedy. Undergraduates staff it. Some pursue journalism careers.
HPR calls itself "America's preeminent undergraduate journal of politics and public policy." It's "nonpartisan." It's "written and published entirely by Harvard undergraduates." Harvard's Institute of Politics provides help.
Washington Post Anti-Bolivarian Propaganda
by Stephen Lendman
Western media scoundrels waged war on Chavez. They did so throughout his tenure. Managed news misinformation substituted for truth and full disclosure.
Chavez is gone. Misreporting continues. Post editors march in lockstep with other media scoundrels. Doing so betrays their readers.
UN Human Rights Council: America's Imperial Tool
by Stephen Lendman
In 1945, the UN was established:
- "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war;
- reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights;
- (support) equal rights of men and women....of nations large and small;
- establish conditions under which justice....can be maintained;
- promote social progress;
- practice tolerance and live in peace; and
- (promote) economic and social advancement of all peoples."
It failed on all counts. It's largely a US imperial tool. It's been so from inception.
Chavez Laid to Rest
by Stephen Lendman
He died on March 5. Smart money says Obama killed him. His death was very suspicious. A previous article discussed it.
Hopefully forensic evidence will prove what many people believe.
He meant so much to so many. He spoke in language people understood.
He meant what he said. He kept promises made. He championed social democracy. Venezuelans have the real thing.
Progressive Radio News Hour regular James Petras discussed his legacy. He calls him a "21st century renaissance man."
State Department’s Keystone XL “Study” Now Doubly Exposed as a Hoax
Eric Zuesse
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement that Hillary Clinton’s State Department contracted to be prepared on the proposed XL Pipeline, and that John Kerry’s State Department issued on Friday evening March 4th while he was on a foreign trip, was actually written by a contractor that Hillary’s State Department had arranged for TransCanada to hire, TransCanada being the Canadian-Koch partnership that will build and operate the pipeline (which will generate an estimated $4 billion annual profits to TransCanada if it is granted President Obama’s approval).
Brad Johnson first exposed this hoax of a “study” at the environmental website grist.org, and at the “Green Blog” of Huffington Post, both on March 6th, but his report has been ignored in the mainstream press, such as The New York Times and Washington Post. Johnson’s sensational exposé was covered in only one TV medium: Current TV.
The AIDS-like Disease Seldom Mentioned
by Karen Lambert
I have Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFS/CFIDS/ME) and HIV-NEGATIVE AIDS, idiopathic CD lymphocytopenia. With these two clinical diagnoses, I believe that makes me living proof that the AIDS-like CFS/ME is transmissible, something that the medical establishment seems unable to admit or to acknowledge. I also believe it makes me living proof that CFS and HIV-NEGATIVE AIDS are basically the same mysterious immune disorder.
Three years ago, after a heterosexual sexual encounter, I became seriously ill with what looks like the natural disease progression of AIDS. After an “acute infection” and a “period of asymptomatic health”, I have fallen extremely ill to an unrelenting, progressively-worsening AIDS-like demise. I can pinpoint exactly when I was infected with my “chronic viral syndrome of unknown etiology”and because the “acute infection” stage was so distinguishable, I can also pinpoint exactly when my undiagnosed pathogen left my body and infected yet another host.
AIPAC’s Anti-American Resolutions
By Dr. Elias Akleh
It is a well known fact to many that American Zionist Jewish groups especially AIPAC are the most influential political groups in the US. It members control the Federal Reserve and the majority of American banking and financial institutions, major American corporations especially the military industrial complex, and major media resources. AIPAC is so powerful that it greatly shapes the American foreign policy.
AIPAC wields so much financial power, whose bought stooges had been pushed to the Congress. These bought Congressmen place Israel’s interests; though colonialists, terrorist, genocidal and violating all international laws and human rights, on top of their list although on the expense of their tax-payers American Constituents. For them American interests and security have no value next to those of Israel’s. They don’t care that such unconditional blind support to an illegitimate colonial terrorist Israel gains Americans only enmity and hatred of at least half of the world population. The handful few honest Congressmen, who neither sold their souls nor their country, do not dare to oppose AIPAC since such an act has been proven in the past to be a political suicide.
