Chicago’s Mayor on the Hot Seat
by Stephen Lendman
Career Democrat party member, former congressman, Obama White House chief of staff, Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel took office in May 2011 - reelected last April for another four-year term.
He’s notoriously hard-line, neoliberal and pro-Israeli to a fault. The late Chicago-based Citizens Committee to Clean up the Courts chairman Sherman Skolnick called him the “acting deputy chief for North America of Mossad.”
His father, Benjamin, was involved in smuggling weapons to the Jewish Irgun underground terrorist group (co-led by future Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin) in Palestine pre-1948.
Their elements were notoriously involved in bombing Jerusalem’s King David Hotel (July 1946 - slaughtering 92 Brits, Arabs and Jews, along with wounding 58 others), as well as the horrific Deir Yassin massacre (April 1948), randomly killing up to 120 defenseless Palestinians mercilessly, including women and children, dozens more in continued fighting - part of the future state of Israel’s genocidal ethnic cleansing master plan.
Saudi-Arabia Hosts Anti-Assad Terrorist Groups
by Stephen Lendman
Saudi Arabia is one of the world’s most tyrannical nations, a valued US ally involved in regional state-terror.
From December 8 - 10, it hosted a three-day conference on Syria, attended by terrorist groups allied with Washington, its NATO partners, Saudi rulers and other regional rogue states, wanting Assad ousted by force, ignoring his overwhelming popular support. It bears repeating what previous articles stressed. No so-called anti-Assad “moderates” exist, or too few to matter. ISIS, Al Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusra and other groups fighting his government are extremist terrorists - imported from scores of countries, US imperial foot soldiers against peace and stability.
Putin Countering America’s Counteroffensive in Syria
by Stephen Lendman
Putin’s geopolitical agenda is carefully crafted, fully in accord with international law. It’s focused on protecting Russian interests, lawlessly targeted by America’s imperial agenda.
Its aim is replacing Putin with a pro-Western puppet, balkanizing Russia for easier control, stealing its resources and exploiting it people - the same ruthless agenda bipartisan US policymakers have in mind worldwide.
Putin intervened in Syria to combat ISIS and other terrorist groups, prevent their spread, especially to Central Asia and Russia - what Washington intends unless stopped.
He’s committed to stay the course until accomplishing his mission. With formidable Russian air power and sophisticated S-400 missile defense systems controlling Syrian airspace, he’ll tolerate no one interfering with his righteous mission.
Hillary Clinton: Wall Street ToolV
by Stephen Lendman
A Clinton presidency would be disastrous. Among an array of deplorable aspirants, she stands out as the worst of the bunch - the most dangerous, disreputable and duplicitous.
Her record as first lady, New York senator and secretary of state is well documented - unabashedly pro-war, pro-business, pro-Wall Street, pro-Israel’s killing machine, anti-populist, anti-democracy, anti-rule of law principles, and an agenda against a nation fit to live in.
Days earlier, she pledged to elevate Washington’s ties with Israel “to the next level,” saying, as president, she’ll work with Netanyahu on “very much strengthening and intensifying our relationship on military matters” - code language for closer US/Israeli partnership on regional wars, as well as supporting its genocidal state terror on defenseless Palestinians.
How the Richest Man in the World Rules the U.S. from Riyadh Saudi Arabia Leads the Jihadist Nations; U.S. Assists Them
Eric Zuesse
Did you know that Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the United States, the Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud (affectionately known in the U.S. as “Bandar Bush”), had donated millions to Al Qaeda before the 9/11 attacks, according to the sworn court testimony of the man who had served as Al Qaeda’s bookkeeper and as the bagman who personally collected the mega-donations to Al Qaeda, all in cash?
How come you didn’t read about that in newspapers and magazines, and hear about it on TV ’news’-reports; and why was this stunning and crucially important testimony published only at small independent news-sites, such as here? (Evaluate it for yourself there, and figure out for yourself why the man there testifying is still kept hidden away in a U.S. super-max prison, and why his testimony has been hushed up. Even though American Presidents have changed, America’s international policies haven’t. Barack Obama protects George W. Bush, who previously had protected “Bandar Bush.” Obama, who publicly condemns torture, even privately protects Bush’s agents who perpetrated tortures.)
Washington Wants Its Empire of Bases Expanded
by Stephen Lendman
Well over 1,000 global bases in around two-thirds of the world’s nations aren’t enough for Pentagon commanders.
They’re exploiting the hyped threat of terrorism to say they want more. A feature December 10 NYT Times report headlined “As It Fights ISIS, Pentagon Seeks String of Bases Overseas.”
The Times ignored its bloated budget and current global empire of bases, used as launching pads for war, threatening world peace. Additional ones assure more conflicts, escalated current ones, and the horror of possible global war with nuclear weapons, humanity’s greatest threat.
The Times disgracefully supports Washington’s imperial agenda, its endless wars of aggression against invented enemies. America’s last ones were Nazi Germany and imperial Japan, none since. Pentagon commanders lied, proposing new bases in Africa, Southwest and Central Asia, as well as the Middle East to combat ISIS - America’s ally, not enemy. The Times didn’t explain.
Instead, it claimed the bases will “be used for collecting intelligence and carrying out strikes against the terrorist group’s far-flung affiliates.”
`Atomic Armageddon Is Just 30 Minutes Away'
Theodore Postol
Theodore "Ted" Postol MIT Professor, nuclear weapons expert and former advisor to the U.S. Chief of Naval Operations, was interviewed by Sophie Shevardnadze on RT today, presenting the most devestating warning to date from official layers that Obama is taking us recklessly towards a nuclear war with Russia.
Postal said that Obama was expanding the nuclear arsenal, surrounding Russia with threatening ABM systems, and, although he says a nuclear war would could only happen "accidentally," he makes clear that it is being set up intentionally by Obama. Postol says: "I do think that an accidental nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia is possible ..., I do think we are in danger.
Turkey’s Aim to Annex Northern Syria and Iraq
by Stephen Lendman
Turkey is a NATO member, a close US ally in its regional war OF terror, battling Kurds in northern Syria and Iraq on the phony pretext of combating ISIS - with imperial aims in mind.
Erdogan long coveted annexing Aleppo and other northern Syrian areas, as well as bordering Iraqi territory - the latter objective to seize and control valued Mosul area oil fields.
Hundreds of its troops, tanks and artillery operate from positions near Mosul - on the phony pretext of combating ISIS and training Iraqi forces, never authorized by Baghdad. Ankara intends sending more heavily armed commandos and other combat troops.
Will Obama Invade Syria?
by Stephen Lendman
Obama repeatedly said he won’t be dragged into another Middle East ground war. “We’re not considering any boots on the ground approach,” he earlier blustered - proving again he’s a serial liar.
Thousands of US special forces were sent to Iraq on the phony pretext of serving in an advisory role. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter earlier said more are coming.
In Wednesday testimony before Senate Armed Services Committee members, he said Washington is prepared to send more troops, attack helicopters, and likely more heavy weapons to Iraq - not to fight ISIS as he claimed, along with US air power, furthering Obama’s aim to balkanize the country officially into the Kurdish north, Basra south and Baghdad center.
US Racing Recklessly Toward WW III
by Stephen Lendman
Mark Twain once said history doesn’t repeat. It rhymes - more dangerously today than ever.
US-instigated events ominously resemble things preceding both world wars - with super-weapons on hair triggers able to end life on earth, and bipartisan policymakers in Washington perhaps willing to use them recklessly.
Once in motion, things have a momentum of their own, heading toward what may be unstoppable. Washington’s grand strategy calls for replacing all independent governments with Western-controlled ones - mainly Russia and China, the main obstacles to achieving its hegemonic objectives.
