Russia Intends Preventing Terrorists from Seizing Syrian Territory
Stephen Lendman
Syria’s fate depends on Russia’s willingness to support its ground forces with effective, sustained aerial operations - escalating them to defeat the scourge of US-backed terrorism.
Half-way measures won’t work against imperial America, fully committed to replacing Syrian sovereignty with Western-controlled tyranny.
On June 6, Sergey Lavrov said Washington was warned in advance. Russia intends “providing air support to the Syrian army to prevent territories from being seized by terrorists.”
Secret US-led plans made “behind our back” won’t be tolerated. “We will be making decisions (on) what our air group should be doing on the basis of our vision of the situation.
Obama’s War on Syria: Tragedy and High Crime
Stephen Lendman
People living distant from war zones can’t imagine the horrors millions in them face - unsure each day if they’ll live or die, remain whole or be harmed by disabling injuries.
Will surviving children be permanently traumatized? Will countless numbers perish for lack of essentials to life?
Will conditions in Syria ever be normal again? America’s sordid history in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Ukraine, complicit with Israel against Palestine and elsewhere leaves little hope.
Syria is one of many US war theaters, one of history’s great crimes - half a million or more killed in over five years of conflict, half the population internally or externally displaced, the extent of chaos and human suffering incalculable.
Russia DID NOT Down MH17, Sued Anyway
Stephen Lendman
On July 14, 2014, a Ukrainian warplane downed Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 (MH17) with an air-to-air missile. All 283 passengers and 15 crew members on board perished.
Russia and Vladimir Putin remain wrongfully blamed for what they had nothing to do with. What happened was a classic false flag - likely cooked up in Washington, using US installed Kiev putschists to do its dirty work.
No credible evidence suggests Russian responsibility. The obvious question remains unanswered. What could Moscow possibly gain from downing a commercial airliner, unrelated to combat in Donbass or its interests anywhere?
Washington, NATO and Kiev gained plenty, benefitting from wrongfully bashing Russia. Eyewitnesses on the ground saw a Ukrainian warplane trailing MH17.
Russia Admits Ceasefire Let Terrorists Regroup and Rearm in Syria
Stephen Lendman
Russian General Sergey Rudskoy mentioned Jabhat al-Nusra alone. All US-supported terrorist groups took advantage of ceasefire to strengthen their positions, including ISIS and members of Riyadh’s so-called High Negotiations Committee - terrorists masquerading as diplomats, committed to Syria’s destruction and Assad’s ouster.
According to Rudskoy, Aleppo and Idlib provinces bordering Turkey are key hot spots where groups like Jabhat al-Nusra are entrenched for endless war.Russia said beginning on May 25, it “reserve(s) the right to conduct unilateral strikes…on…international terrorist organizations and illegal armed units” not agreeing to ceasefire.
It delayed operations to let nonexistent moderate rebels separate themselves from Security Council designated terrorist groups, a huge mistake.
Rep. Brad Sherman: Saudis Always Follow British Orders
Executive Intelligence Review
May 25, 2016 (EIRNS)--Tuesday's House Foreign Relations subcommittee hearing on Saudi involvement in international terrorism had some extraordinary moments that demonstrated that at least some Members of Congress have been listening to LaRouche's exposes of the British ownership of the Saudi Monarchy and regime.
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Cal.), a strong advocate for the release of the 28 pages, responded to a question about whether the United States could get the Saudis to stop sponsoring jihadist terrorism, by making the point that the Saudis listen to the British, and never defy British demands.
Turkey is preparing an offensive operation in Northern Syria
Said AlKhalaki
It's been quite a while since the treaty on cease-fire in Syria had been signed. We can say February 27 became the new anchor for the people of Syria who are tired of war and havoc. However, the situation doesn't suit the main sponsors of the "Syrian revolution", i.e. Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar which had already planned how the country would be divided between them.
What's concerned territory, Turkey is interested in Syria's division most of all. The most attractive "piece" for it is Northern Syria with its used-to-be economical capital Aleppo. Obviously, the seized Northern territories would be a step forward in Erdogan's plan to resurrect the Ottoman Empire he is dreaming about. That is why the seizure of Aleppo is a strategic goal for Erdogan and his partners.
UK Schoolgirl Censored for Award-Winning Free Palestine Speech
Stephen Lendman
UK-based Jack Petchey’s Speak Out Challenge is open to London and Essex secondary school students - “believ(ing) everybody should have the skills, confidence and desire to speak in public, and (is) dedicated to helping people of all ages and levels achieve this.”
Wanstead High School student Leanne Mohamad’s uplifting Birds of Peace, not Bombs speech took top honors in the Redbridge regional final - supporting Palestinian rights, wanting them treated as human beings, opposing racist discrimination.UK-based anti-Palestinian blogger Edgar Davidson complained to the Speakers Trust - involved in training students to participate in the Speak Out Challenge.
He turned truth on its head, accusing Mohamad of delivering “a virulently anti-Israel speech full of lies and blood libels,” claiming it “should not have won the competition…”
In response, the Jack Petchey Foundation and Wanstead High School unanimously excluded Mohamad from participation in final rounds competition.
Hillary Clinton Vulnerable to Indictment on Federal Racketeering Charges?
Stephen Lendman
The Bill and Hillary crime family long ago should have been held accountable for high crimes against peace and numerous others.
Hillary is the most recklessly dangerous presidential aspirant in US history, supporting endless imperial wars and state terror, once saying “(w)hat do we have NATO for if not to defend our way of life.”
She endorses first-strike nuclear weapons use, calling them peacekeeping deterrents, mindless of their power to destroy life on earth. She’s militantly anti-Russia, earlier compared the nation to Nazi Germany, Putin to Hitler, claiming “he doesn’t have a soul,” has revanchist aims, wanting Russian greatness restored - all of the above an abhorrent perversion of truth.
Scratch My Back and I Shall Scratch Yours. American Dream Will Come True If Your Friends Are in Hilary's Team.
Terry Brown
Business and policy are sure to be closely tied in the US. American businessmen finance electoral campaigns of politicians who, in case they win, promote these businessmen's interests. These are rules of the game. This is how the American political system works. Is it good or bad? Not so easy to say, but it is clear that this is an inevitable devil we, the Americans, consider as our centuries-old tradition. For instance, a candidate for the US president Hilary Clinton has a close connection with The Coca-Cola Company: Wendy Clark, former Senior Marketing Executive at the company, served as Clinton's image maker at the beginning of her campaign.
However, not only the most prominent Columbia officials are close to the largest companies. Even those who are less powerful, benefiting from their contacts with Washington, help the private sector to resolve their issues without missing an opportunity to ask for something in return. Capricia Marshall, a former Chief of Protocol, who is currently serving as Clinton's special assistant in her running for the Oval, is a good example of such cooperation.
China Deploying Nuclear Armed Subs to Counter Growing US Threat
Stephen Lendman
The nuclear doomsday clock is ticking. America’s rage for unchallenged dominance threatens world peace.
Its global military footprint and out-of-control belligerence heighten the risk of eventual nuclear war, crossing an unthinkable catastrophic rubicon of no return if launched.
China is justifiably concerned, According to London’s Guardian, it’s “poised to send submarines armed with nuclear missiles into the Pacific Ocean for the first time (because) new US weapons systems have so undermined (its) existing deterrent force that it has been left with no alternative.”Despite no official confirmation from Beijing, state-run People’s Daily headlined “Nuclear patrol to boost China’s own security,” saying “(a)s Sino-US tensions build, it is necessary for China to strengthen its capability for nuclear retaliation.”
“It is time the People’s Liberation Army sends nuclear submarines into the depth of the Pacific Ocean for regular patrols.”
