Obama's Waging War on Humanity
by Stephen Lendman
He's done it since day one in office. It rages nonstop. War on Afghanistan could continue for another decade or longer.
Iraq and Libya are out-of control cauldrons of violence. Syria's the current eye of the storm. Obama intends escalating what's ongoing. Iran's turn awaits.
Syria's Ministry of Information addressed how ordinary Syrians are affected. Obama bears full responsibility.
Question 3 for 9/11 Smarties: Why was The 2001 Invasion of Iraq called off on September 11, 2001?
By Elizabeth Young
911 is without a doubt the most written about, analyzed and discussed conspiracy in the history of mankind. Yes, even the official story:
Nineteen fanatical Arab hijackers, masterminded by an evil genius named Osama bin Laden, crashed airplanes into important buildings in the N.E. sector in the United States because they “hate our freedoms,”
is a conspiracy between Osama Bin Laden (who isn’t even wanted by the FBI [1q]) and the Arab terrorists who the U.S. government claims hijacked planes and crashed them in to important buildings in the N.E. sector in the United States.
“Conspiracy” is a REAL word for a REAL act that has existed in human societies in all cultures throughout human history. If conspiracies did not exist, we would not have a word for it. The problem that we face today is that the US Government has arrogated to itself a singular role as a political pontificate that believes that it and its agents in the Justice Department, alone, constitute the only “person” (corporate person) on this Earth who is allowed to use the word “conspiracy” as it employs the charge of “conspiracy” every week in trials to put both guilty and innocent people in jail while deriding and discrediting all others who employ the word as “conspiracy theorists.” (Paris Flammonde) [2q]
There are inside, outside and even outside inside stories (conspiracy theories) about what really happened on 911.
Test your knowledge of the September 11, 2001 stories and see if you can spot the Terrorist Job (the story), The Inside Job/Global Domination (the story behind the story), The Exotic Weapon story (another story behind the story) or The Metaphysical story (the story behind the story behind the story behind the story!).
Question 3. Why was the 2001 invasion of Iraq called off 5 hours after the 2nd tower collapsed? The USS Carl Vinson was in the Persian Gulf with orders to invade Iraq. Logic would dictate the invasion would go forward when the buildings were destroyed and not be called off. [10b]
Why Was Syria Attacked?
by Stephen Lendman
On April 6, 2009, Seymour Hersh headlined "Syria Calling," saying:
When Israel's December 2008/January 2009 Cast Lead war on Gaza ended, so did "promising peace talks between Israel and Syria."
For almost a year, both countries negotiated. They did so in Istanbul through intermediaries. Many complicated issues were resolved. Diplomatic normalization was agreed on in principle. At a mid-January Qatar summit, Assad called Israel's war "the language of blood." He wanted Arab League members to boycott Israel. He urged closing Israeli embassies throughout the region.
Obama's War on Syria Imminent
by Stephen Lendman
He decided to attack. He'll do so whether on not Congress approves. He'll ignore international law. He believes he has a divine right to do what he wants.
He's an out-of-control rogue menace. He's a war criminal multiple times over. He's waging war on humanity. He's doing so based on lies. He wants another imperial trophy.
He plans getting it one way or another. War is his option of choice. Who cares if Syrians bleed. Their pain and suffering is Washington's gain.
On September 2, Russia Today headlined "Evidence of chemical weapons use in Syria should not be kept secret - Lavrov."
Obama's War on Syria: Dissent in the Ranks
by Stephen Lendman
On September 2, London's Daily Mail headlined " 'I didn't join the Navy to fight for al Qaeda in a Syrian civil war': Picture of serviceman goes viral... but is it real?"
More on that below. The Pentagon goes all out to avoid dissent in the ranks. It surfaced in Vietnam.
Until 1967, order was well maintained. After Tet in late January/February 1968, things changed. Mutinies forced the Pentagon to disguise them with language like "combat refusal."
Soldiers disobeyed orders. Most were search and destroy missions. They were put in harms way. They faced formidable enemies. At times, entire companies defied commanders. As fear of punishment faded, incidents mushroomed. So did fragging.
Syria & America exchange messages as both peoples breathe more easily….for now
Franklin Lamb
Damascus
The morning following President Obama’s announcement he would not bomb Syria immediately, the streets of Damascus were packed with shoppers and employees heading to their jobs. Several reasons for this were mentioned by my friend, Eyman. Some Damascenes who had fled their homes last week had returned, and a palpable sense of at least temporary relief pervades much of this capital city. It is also the first of the month. In Syria, government and other employees have just received their monthly paychecks and need to stock up on food, particularly now, upon entering this most uncertain month.
America's Intelligence Budget Black Hole
by Stephen Lendman
On August 29, the Washington Post headlined "US spy network's successes, failures and objectives detailed in 'black budget' summary," saying:
Post-9/11, US spy agencies "built an intelligence-gathering colossus. (It) remain(s) unable to provide critical information to the president on a range of national security threats, according to the government’s top-secret budget."
Its budget totals $52.6 billion for FY 2013. WaPo obtained it "from intelligence contractor Edward Snowden."
It discusses a "bureaucratic and operational landscape." It was never before subjected to public scrutiny.
It shows a dominant CIA role. It reveals significant cyberoperations. It discloses important knowledge gaps about targeted countries.
Israeli Lobby Targets Syria and Iran
by Stephen Lendman
Waging war on Syria is prelude to targeting Iran. The road to Tehran runs through Damascus.
It's the Lobby's prime target. It's Israel's. It's America's. First things first. War on Syria rages. Obama plans direct US intervention.
He intends lawless aggression. He decided irrespective of Security Council and/or congressional authorization.
The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) calls itself "the most influential group on the issue of US-Israel military relations." It "advocate(s) on behalf of a strong US military, a robust national security policy and a strongU.S security relationship with Israel and other like-minded democracies."
Obama Intends Lawless Aggression on Syria
by Stephen Lendman
On Saturday, he replicated John Kerry's Colin Powell moment. He lied like he always does.
His war plans were delayed. They're not deterred. They're not halted. Obama plans aggressive war on Syria. He does so with or without Security Council and/or congressional approval. On August 31, a White House Office of the Press Secretary release reported his remarks. It headlined "Statement by the President on Syria," saying:
"Ten days ago, the world watched in horror as men, women and children were massacred in Syria in the worst chemical weapons attack of the 21st century."
Building Israel: The Start-Up Nation
James Petras
“City of London demands ad firm stop using spy cams in trash cans” Fox News, August 12, 2013
The story was headlined: “Jerusalem mayor demands investigation of secret ‘smart tracking devices’ in toilets”. The executives of an Israeli company that installed high tech toilets to secretly track the smart-phones of defecators are facing charges of ‘privacy violation’. The company, cleverly named ‘Two Commandments’, ( as in ‘Ye shall make money’ and ‘Ye shall not get caught’), a Tel Aviv-based marketing and private government subcontractor, developed ‘smart pods’ to capture smells, color, expulsive energy and volatile gases. One of the owners, Bibby Dershitz, (a ‘21st century Moses’, according to the Wall Street Journal), claimed the device provided valuable marketing information on consumer habits. According to Bibby’s partner, Laura Klapshitz, “the color, size, texture, density and chemical composition of turds reveals eating and drinking habits and can lead to the development of food products, which are easier to digest, reducing gas and disagreeable lower bowel sounds.”
