Reported Multiple Orlando Gunmen
Stephen Lendman
Whether true or not awaits credible evidence proving it. A previous article called it highly unlikely for one gunman to kill or injure over 100 victims singlehandedly before SWAT police stopped him.
Orlando shootings bore distinct earmarks of state-sponsored false flag deception, not terrorism as widely reported.
A Sunday Facebook posting, now deleted, by a man named Cody Agnew, claimed “bits of information that the media are not telling us. There were two others that were in the club slaughtering people last night that were not caught.”He said his “employee’s sister…was at the club when the whole situation went down…She took 12 bullets…She is coherent, fairly stable, and VERY lucky to still be alive.” “(T)wo others (involved) are still out there and they are armed and dangerous. The media (are) not reporting this because they don’t want to scare people…”
The post went viral on Facebook, Reddit, Twitter and Instagram before being deleted. No evidence of bodies exists, no video footage inside the Pulse nightclub - nothing verifying what did or didn’t happen.
NATO Says It Might Now Have Grounds to Attack Russia
Eric Zuesse
On Tuesday, June 14th, NATO announced that if a NATO member country becomes the victim of a cyber attack by persons in a non-NATO country such as Russia or China, then NATO’s Article V “collective defense” provision requires each NATO member country to join that NATO member country if it decides to strike back against the attacking country. The preliminary decision for this was made two years ago after Crimea abandoned Ukraine and rejoined Russia, of which it had been a part until involuntarily transferred to Ukraine by the Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev in 1954. That NATO decision was made in anticipation of Ukraine’s ultimately becoming a NATO member country, which still hasn’t happened. However, only now is NATO declaring cyber war itself to be included as real “war” under the NATO Treaty’s “collective defense” provision.
Stop the Terror Wave Now!!
Executive Intelligence Review
The mass murder rampage in Orlando, Florida, by alleged Islamic State follower Omar Mateen, is but the latest in a series of horrific terrorist attacks that all flow from a thirty-year-old "oil deal" between the British and Saudi monarchies. That deal has given them great power and great hidden resources to create today's global jihadist apparatus, for attacks against nations.
Until and unless that Anglo-Saudi apparatus is exposed -- as we can do with the exposure of the 9/11 documents kept secret for 15 years -- and dismantled, the world will face blind terrorist attacks constantly, in any locale at any time.
Presidential Politics Exploits Orlando
Stephen Lendman
US presidential aspirants, their supporters and media scoundrels are taking full advantage of Sunday’s incident - likely US-sponsored false flag deception, not radical Islamic terrorism as widely reported.
What’s happening in plain sight should appall everyone, a disgusting display of willful misinformation, intolerable Islamophobia and chauvinism, along with calls for escalated militarism and homeland crackdowns on what remains of constitutional protections.
Hillary Clinton called Orlando’s incident “an act of terror” - despite no evidence proving it or showing the incident took place as widely reported. A same day article discussed this. Clinton saying we “need to redouble our efforts (to defeat) international terrorist groups” ignores their US creation and support.
Claiming America’s homeland defenses need “hardening” is code language for urging greater war on remaining fundamental freedoms than already.
Trump v. Clinton: Both Widely Reviled, Unfit to Serve
Stephen Lendman
Polls show most US voters want neither candidate elected president. One or the other will succeed Obama, continuing his deplorable agenda, likely exceeding his contempt for democratic values and rule of law principles - including four more years of endless imperial wars at home and abroad.
Comments the presumptive candidates made in Friday speeches signaled what’s shaping up as likely the nastiest rough and tumble campaign in memory.
They focused on pejoratives, each calling the other unfit to serve - likely a rare truthful comment either aspirant will make throughout the summer/fall campaign.“When Donald Trump says ‘(l)et’s make America great again,’ that is code language for let’s take America backward,” Clinton blustered.
She ignored her unaccountable high crimes of war and against humanity as first lady, US senator, and secretary of state, as well as the Clinton crime family’s foundation, a racketeering operation masquerading as a charitable NGO.
Media Scoundrels React As Expected to Orlando Shootings
Stephen Lendman
Extensive media coverage of June 12 Orlando shootings hyped Islamic terrorism, suppressing what most needs explaining.
One-sided reporting regurgitated official accounts without due diligence checking, the public left in the dark, uninformed.
The New York Times said (alleged) gunman Omar Mateen “proclaim(ed) allegiance to the Islamic State terrorist group…”
Shootings began around 2:00AM. The Times hyped fear, reporting “a panicked scene of unimaginable slaughter, the floors slicked with blood, the dead and injured piled atop one another - (t)errified people pour(ing) onto the darkened streets of the surrounding neighborhood…”
It featured Obama’s politicized comments instead of demanding he be held responsible for state-sponsored terrorism throughout his tenure, harming millions at home and abroad.
Russia Fiddles While Syria Burns
Stephen Lendman
Make no mistake. Putin’s strategic intervention in Syria last September was a bold, vital step. He deserves credit and praise for taking it.
Things changed dramatically on the ground. Reinvigorated government forces retook large swaths of earlier lost territory, freeing them from the scourge of US-sponsored terrorism.
At the same time, Russia’s all-out efforts for ceasefire and conflict resolution peace talks failed. On the one hand, the alternative is endless war. On the other, the only language America understands is force.
Moscow’s genuine diplomatic efforts can’t succeed because it has no peace partner in Washington - under Obama or whoever succeeds him.
It’s time to accept reality and act boldly, assertively and unilaterally against all terrorist groups in Syria rejecting ceasefire, Moscow following through on its earlier commitment, repeated as recently as late May and early June - so far not implemented.
Photos Alleging Russian Airstrike Killed Idlib Civilians Six Months Old
Stephen Lendman
Propaganda substitutes misinformation and Big Lies for hard truths. Repeated enough gets most people to believe it, especially when credible information is suppressed.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) operates as a mouthpiece for Western imperial interests.
A previous article said it accused Russia of killing 2,100 Syrian civilians since from last September through May, including 500 children and 300 women - citing no credible evidence supporting its spurious accusation. Yesterday, it claimed nonexistent Russian airstrikes killed 23 civilians in Idlib - in northwestern Syria near Turkey’s border. Photographic evidence cited was unrelated to the incident, used by Al Jazeera last November - at the time, irresponsibly blaming Russia for killing at least 44 civilians.
What’s Next in Syria After Ceasefire and Peace Talks Failed?
Stephen Lendman
Russia genuinely wants conflict in Syria resolved diplomatically. Otherwise, it can continue interminably.
America wants endless war, Assad ousted, pro-Western puppet governance installed and Syrian sovereignty destroyed.
Intractable East/West positions show no signs of changing. Endless war rages, escalation likely.
So-called cessation of hostilities proved farcical. Peace talks were dead on arrival. Washington and its rogue partners support terrorist groups ravaging Syria. US air power and special forces on the ground aid them. No so-called moderate rebels exist, one of many Big Lies about Obama’s dirty war, the pure evil face of imperialism, continuing without mercy no matter who succeeds him.
US Investigating Alleged Doping of Russian Athletes - Thinly Veiled Russia Bashing
Stephen Lendman
Last week, Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko fired back against reports indicating US Justice Department officials launched an investigation into alleged doping of Russian athletes, saying:
“There are enough violations of anti-doping rules round the world, and they can all be probed. We would like to see the United States probing its own national team. The atmosphere there is far from being cloudless.”
Late last year, Putin ordered a thorough investigation into alleged doping of Russian athletes, saying offenders alone should be punished, not an entire country. “(T)hat’s the rule,” he stressed.
