Gunslinger US General Readies for War with Russia
by Stephen Lendman
America is run by neocon lunatics and gunslinger generals. Together they threaten world peace.
Washington’s only enemies are ones it invents to wage endless wars of aggression - premeditated ones against one country after another posing no threat to anyone.
Rogue states operate this way. Readers familiar with Orwell's 1984 understand. America exceeds the worst of what he envisioned.
World peace hangs by a thread. Humanity's survival is up for grabs.
General Ben Hodges heads US Army Europe (USAREUR). On April 18, he lied telling London's Telegraph NATO must stay united against a "real threat" from Russia.
U.S. Blocked Declaration of a Right to Health Care, Says Bolivia’s President
Eric Zuesse
Bolivia’s President Evo Morales has blamed U.S. President Barack Obama for the failure of the recent OAS (Organization of American States) Summit of the Americas to issue a final declaration, and he says that a major sticking point for Mr. Obama was Obama’s opposition to a provision in the proposed declaration that would have said that health care is “a human right.” Mr. Obama insisted that it’s instead a privilege, access to which must be based primarily upon an individual’s ability-to-pay, as is the case in the United States. Said Mr. Morales: "One point (in the drafted declaration) was important: health as a human right, and the U.S. government did not accept that health should be considered a human right … President Obama did not accept” that concept.
The Scourge of Nazism in Ukraine
by Stephen Lendman
What millions died for to defeat during WW II is now resurgent in Europe's heartland.
Fascist lunatics in Washington installed overt Nazis to run their newest client state. They're taking full advantage.
They're waging naked aggression on Donbass - at present low-level ahead of renewing it full-blown.
Hundreds of US combat troops (trained killers) are working directly with Kiev's Nazi-infested National Guard and other extremist groups - teaching them the fine art of murder.
Perhaps planning to join them in battle when hostilities resume full-blown - maybe with supportive US terror-bombing.
Kiev Nazis want all opposition elements eliminated - either killed, imprisoned, disappeared or deported.
NATO Increasingly Surrounds the ‘Russian Threat’
Eric Zuesse
On Saturday, April 18th, the Commander of the U.S. Army in Europe, Ben Hodges, told Britain’s Telegraph that “There is a Russian threat,” and that “The best insurance we have against a showdown is that NATO stands together.” Ever since the Soviet Union’s military alliance, the Warsaw Pact, dissolved in 1991, NATO has expanded eastward to Russia’s borders, and now it is preparing to admit yet another nation on Russia’s border: Ukraine. This eastward expansion broke (and breaks, since it’s continuing) a verbal agreement which had produced the termination of the Warsaw Pact (the Soviet Union’s equivalent of America’s NATO alliance).
Yemeni Crisis Deepens
by Stephen Lendman
US-orchestrated/Saudi-led terror-bombing continues murdering defenseless Yemeni men, women and children daily.
Genocide is occurring in plain sight. Media scoundrels ignore what demands screaming headlines of condemnation. Obama bears full responsibility. Saudis and other involved despotic regimes share it. So do Western leaders supporting an atrocity they should make every effort to stop.
The World Food Program (WFP) said half of Yemen's 25 million people go hungry for lack of food. Starvation may claim many thousands.
WHY LINCOLN STILL MATTERS TODAY
Allen L Roland, Ph.D
On the anniversary of Lincoln's assassination on April 14,1865,150 years ago, I pause to reflect on this giant of a man and 16th President who represents all the moral qualities we would hope our current Presidents embody ~ and yet we remain so bitterly disappointed when few if any of these Presidential pretenders can approach the moral timbre of our greatest president.
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
Abraham Lincoln is still a symbol of the best of America and historian Doris Kearns Goodwin in 2008 listed the ten qualities that made Lincoln such a great leader as well as the qualities we should look for in our present leaders.
Saudi Blood Money for Bloodletting in Yemen
by Stephen Lendman
Saudi King Salman
UN officials appealed for an immediate $274 million in desperately needed emergency humanitarian aid for Yemenis.
Saudi mass murderer/King Salman offered to contribute the entire amount - while he continues daily terror-bombing, targeting civilians and exacerbating a horrific humanitarian crisis.
Billions of dollars in aid are needed to address it. A small fraction of it barely scratches the surface.
Saudi oil wealth won't restore lost lives. It won't replace lost limbs. It won't soothe traumatized children.
It won't erase the agony of lost loved ones. It won't stop US planned, orchestrated and directed Saudi-led aggression.
Saudis Using Banned Chemical Weapons in Yemen
by Stephen Lendman
Saudis are some of the world's most ruthless figures. They rule with an iron fist.
They tolerate no opposition. They partner with Washington's regional wars.
They were caught red-handed supplying Syrian takfiris with chemical weapons - used against defenseless civilians.
They're at it again. Overnight reports indicate they attacked Yemen's Saada province with banned chemical agents.
Toxic gas left scores of Yemeni civilians dead or injured. The exact number isn't known so far.
Witnesses and aid workers said white smoke rose from Saudi terror-bombing. Injured victims experienced suffocation, nausea and diarrhea.
Operation Decisive Storm: US-Orchestrated, Saudi-Led Mass Murder
by Stephen Lendman
Yemen is in the eye of the storm. Washington planned and orchestrated ongoing war on an entire population.
Its using Saudi Arabia, other regional rogue states, and extremist takfiri mercenaries to do its killing and dying.
It's systematically destroying an entire nation to tighten its regional chokehold.
Will millions of Yemenis die, sustain disabling injuries and/or lose all future hope before things end?
No nation in world history caused more harm to more people over a longer duration than America.
None operate more ruthlessly. None more callously ignore human lives and welfare.
Iranian Foreign Minister Proposes Regional Peace and Cooperation
by Stephen Lendman
Times editors are so consistently hostile to Iran in their one-sided support for Israel's worst crimes it's surprising they gave Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif op-ed space.
He sent a responsible message from Iran everyone needs to read. He indicated important progress in Lausanne in trying to resolve issues over Tehran's well-known peaceful nuclear program.
Suggesting otherwise is red herring cover for Washington's real objectives:
- toppling Iran's government;
- replacing it pro-Western stooges subservient to US and Israeli interests;
- giving America another client state;
- eliminating Israel's main regional rival;
- controlling Iran's vast oil and gas resources;
- exploiting its people; and
- marginalizing and weakening Iran - defying it the right to self-defense.
