Iranian Nuclear Program Framework Deal Postmortems
by Stephen Lendman
Next to Russia, Iran is the West's favorite punching bag.
Demonizing the Islamic Republic is longstanding - with no just cause whatever. Fake reasons are invented.
Tehran's nuclear program and other policies aren't what matter. Its sovereign independence arouses Western ire - mainly America's.
Israel wants unchallenged regional hegemony. Iran is its main rival.
Israeli policy aims to eliminate it one way or another - by war if other alternatives fail. Washington's agenda is no different.
Framework agreement terms reached in Lausanne guarantee nothing ahead toward normalizing relations with Iran.
It takes a giant leap of faith to believe ongoing talks (if produce positive results by June 30) will end 36 years of virulent anti-Iranian sentiment.
Obama's Endless War on Humanity
by Stephen Lendman
Throughout his tenure, he's waged one war after another at home and abroad.
From militarized killer cops, police state ruthlessness, and his kill list to drone murders and mass slaughter from 30,000 feet.
Obama and Bush II made America more than ever a pariah state.
He's a neocon masquerading as a populist leader. His rap sheet exceeds the worst of his predecessors. He's hard-right, reactionary, belligerent, pro-business, and pro-war.
He's soulless, anti-progressive, anti-populist, anti-labor, anti-fairness, anti-dissent, anti-democratic, anti-rule of law principles, anti-freedom, anti-civil and human rights, anti-environmental sanity, and anti-government of, by and for everyone equitably.
His proxy war on Yemen is his latest atrocity. Millions of lives are at risk.
Obama's Dirty War on Yemen Murdering Civilians
by Stephen Lendman
Civilians suffer most in all wars. Yemen is no exception. Sanaa is becoming a ghost town.
One shopkeeper said "(t)here are very few people left here. Everyone has fled, and those who have stayed live alone without their families."
"So hardly anyone comes to buy anything anymore.Now I'm lucky if I make $20 a day."
"How can I pay my rent or even my electricity bills? If the situation stays like this then I'm sure I'll be out of business within days."
According to Yemeni Post editor-in-chief Hakin al-Masmari, "(a)t the beginning they were targeting only Sanaa, so people were fleeing to the provinces."
"However, now they have expended to the suburbs as well."
Israeli State Terror Targets Palestinian Lawmaker Khalida Jarrar
by Stephen Lendman
On April 2, the Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association reported Jarrar's arrest.
She's a Palestinian Legislative Council member, a civil society leader, and PLC Prisoners Commission head. She chairs Addameer's board of directors.
Israeli goon squad thugs raided her Ramallah area home pre-dawn. She was abducted and taken to an undisclosed location.
Israeli authorities targeted her earlier. They tolerate no opposition to their ruthlessness. In August 2014, they ordered her expelled from Ramallah to Jericho for six months - reduced to one month following an intense solidarity campaign, as well as international and diplomatic pressure on her behalf.
She defied Israel's order, stayed in her home, and said "it is the occupation (that) must leave our homeland."
Post-Nuclear Deal Iran Bashing
by Stephen Lendman
It didn't take long for anti-Iranian elements to step up propaganda war.
Israel's dirty hands are likely behind reports about Tehran allegedly providing Hamas with millions of dollars to rebuild tunnels its military and complicit Egypt destroyed.
London's Telegraph reported the story - featuring a menacing-looking propaganda photo. It cited unnamed "intelligence sources."
It said Iran is replenishing Hamas' "missile supplies…used to bombard residential neighbourhoods" during Israel’s Operation Protective Edge terror war.
Preparing for War Opposite Ways
by Stephen Lendman
America always prepares for war - endless ones against one targeted country after another, fought directly or through proxies.
Lunatics in Washington deplore peace. Aggressive wars of choice against invented enemies are a national addiction.
US-installed Ukraine puppet leader Poroshenko prepares for war his way irresponsibly. Russia does it the right way. More on its efforts below.
Poroshenko intends escalating aggression on Donbass. According to Novorossia Today, he's rearming for "new battles."
Russia Urges Resolving Yemen's Conflict Diplomatically
by Stephen Lendman
Russia is the world's leading peace and stability proponent. US policy is polar opposite.
You'd never know what Russia stands for the way it’s irresponsibly bashed. Big Lies substitute for hard truths.
Vladimir Putin, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and other Russian officials continue working tirelessly for peace in Syria, Ukraine and now Yemen.
On April 2, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich expressed great concern about Yemen's ongoing conflict.
Saying "Moscow continues to proceed from the assumption that there is no alternative to a political solution in the Yemeni crisis."
Ukrainian Anti-Russian, Jew-Hating, Overt Nazi Given Key Military Post
by Stephen Lendman
Overt Nazi Right Sector leader Dmytro Yarosh openly boasts about "fighting Jews and Russians till I die." He's a wanted man.
In July 2014, Interpol issued a warrant for his arrest for "public incitement to terrorist and extremist activities involving the use of mass media."
Russia issued criminal charges against him for inciting extremist activities. Its Supreme Court banned Right Sector activities on Russian territory.
Yarosh openly urges "more active resistance against Russia." He calls Moscow "an enemy." He threatened to blow up gas pipelines between both countries.
He was part of US-orchestrated Maidan protests ousting Ukraine's legitimate government in February 2014. He was directly involved in the May 2014 Odessa massacre killing hundreds - shooting them in cold blood, bludgeoning them to death, butchering them with axes, throwing them out of windows.
He rejects Minsk's ceasefire terms. He vows to continue fighting.
Germany’s Merkel Now Comes Out as Basically a U.S. Agent
Eric Zuesse
On Wednesday, April 1st, German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cabinet approved a measure to bring fracking (the patents for which are owned mainly by “large American companies, including Halliburton, Baker Hughes and Schlumberger”) into Germany. This is a prelude not only to U.S. President Obama’s secret Trans-Atlantic Trade & Investment Partnership (TTIP) pact with Europe to subordinate national laws and regulations to trans-national mega-corporate panels that will be dominated by U.S. firms and that will override the participating nations’ environmental and labor regulations and consumer protections (and harm European economies generally), but it is also a major step toward removing Europe from Russia’s energy-market, and bringing U.S. and European oil companies to dominate there instead.
McCain Urges Preemptive Israeli Aggression on Iran
by Stephen Lendman
McCain is one of many neocon lunatics infesting Washington. He's viciously racist, militantly anti-Iranian, hawkishly over-the-top and dangerous.
He chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee. He has considerable influence over US defense policy.
He wants war on Iran. He opposes resolving issues over its well-known peaceful nuclear program responsibly. More on this below.
He issued a lengthy statement on Lausanne talks full of Big Lies.
"…Congress…recognize(s) the threat of the Iranian nuclear program," he blustered.
