OK for US to Terror-Bomb Syria Illegally - Not OK for Russia to Combat Terrorism
Stephen Lendman
Washington uses foreign airbases to terror-bomb Syrian hospitals, infrastructure and government targets, slaughtering defenseless civilians at the same time - on the phony pretext of combating ISIS it supports.
Russia heroically in involved in legitimately combating terrorism - from aerial missions conducted from Syrian territory and now from Iran in lieu of much longer distance flights from Russian territory. A previous article discussed it.
Deputy State Department spokesman Mark Toner falsely suggested Russian aerial operations from Iran’s Hamadan airbase perhaps violated UN Resolution 2231.
Amazing Media Self-Indictment
Stephen Lendman
Rupert Murdoch’s New Corp-owned New York Post calls itself “America’s oldest continuously published newspaper,” founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton, today a far cry from its roots.
The Columbia Journalism Review earlier called it “no longer merely a journalistic problem. It is a social problem - a force for evil.”
It should have described all major US print and electronic media the same way - providing all propaganda rubbish all the time on issues mattering most, especially geopolitical ones and electoral politics.
They represent a collective shame of the nation, deplorable scoundrels, substituting presstitution for legitimate journalism.
On August 21, the Post amazingly headlined “American journalism is collapsing before our eyes,” saying: “The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. They are working hand in hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations.”
“The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America.”
Neocon Washington Post Anti-Trump Jihad
Stephen Lendman
By now, Americans should be numb from outrageously one-sided anti-Trumpism compared to suppressing Hillary’s deplorable public record.
With two months before November’s election, things may get even uglier, media scoundrels perhaps intending an even greater push to get her anointed America’s next president.
The possibility should terrify everyone. Paul Craig Roberts calls her “certifiably insane.” For sure, she’s megalomaniacally driven, Roberts saying “she will take America to war with Russia - which means also China - and Iran.”
I share his justifiable fear, the risk of humanity-destroying war, Hillary comfortable about using nuclear weapons, our main survival threat.
FBI Continues Suppressing Hillary’s Crimes
Stephen Lendman
Hillary’s longstanding criminal record since the 1990s would be more than enough to imprison ordinary people longterm - likely for life without parole or capital punishment for her involvement in mass murder.
Extraordinary lengths are made to keep indictable evidence from being revealed - the Justice Department and its FBI investigative agency complicit for failing to do their jobs.
On Friday afternoon, at the start of America’s three-day Labor Day holiday weekend, with no fanfare and too little media attention, an FBI press release said it “releas(ed) a summary of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s July 2, 2016 interview with the FBI concerning allegations that classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on a personal e-mail server she used during her tenure.”
The material was too heavily redacted to be useful, indictable evidence withheld from public view. The FBI failed to demand she be held accountable. The Justice Department refuses to indict her.
Neocon Washington Post Calls War Goddess, Racketeer Hillary “Exceptional”
Stephen Lendman
I’ve written much about I call America’s scoundrel media - especially for supporting privilege over populism, US imperial wars, and deplorable one-sided coverage of this year’s presidential election, sacrificing even-handedness for blatant partisanship.
With few exceptions, media scoundrels support the most recklessly dangerous presidential aspirant in US history, acting as a collective press agent for what demands resounding opposition - waging a war of words on Trump, a daily pejorative blizzard, unparalleled in memory.
Given how viciously he’s attacked without letup, day in and day out, Hillary practically anointed pre-election, it seems all that’s left are postmortem comments. Independent historians one day will have final say - explaining the true measure of a woman belonging in prison, not high office.
Putin/Obama Meeting in China
Stephen Lendman
Carefully worded diplomatic language following high-level Russia/US meetings conceal intractable positions on resolving conflicts in Syria and Ukraine.
Things are no closer now than earlier, regardless of public pronouncements. Washington wants its imperial agenda proceeding unobstructed, war its principle strategy of choice.
Years of Russia/US talks proved futile. Expect nothing different this time whatever is announced ahead. Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said his Monday meeting with Obama “lasted longer than planned,” discussions focusing mainly on Syria and Ukraine, resolving nothing.
Israel Attacks Syria
Stephen Lendman
Israel is allied with Washington’s aim to destroy Syrian sovereignty, oust its democratically elected leader, install pro-Western puppet rule, partition the country, loot its resources, exploit its people and isolate Iran ahead of targeting its country the same way for the same purpose.
Since Obama launched war in March 2011, Israeli forces intermittently terror-bombed and shelled Syrian targets. Netanyahu actively supports ISIS and other terrorist groups, supplying arms, munitions and medical treatment for its wounded fighters.
Syria never once attacked or threatened Israeli territory. On Sunday, an errant shell, perhaps fired by US/Israeli-supported terrorists, landed in illegally occupied Golan, causing no damage or injuries.
NYT Whitewashes Clinton Foundation Wrongdoing
Stephen Lendman
Hard evidence shows the Clinton Foundation is a Bill and Hillary money-laundering, influence-selling, self-enrichment racket masquerading as a charitable NGO.
Not according The New York Times, operating as her virtual press agent, promoting her candidacy for the nation’s highest office, suppressing her deplorable public record since the 1990s.
Richard Painter is a University of Minnesota law professor. From 2005 - 2007, he was Obama’s chief White House ethics lawyer. The Times gave him feature op-ed space to whitewash Clinton Foundation wrongdoing - serious stuff enough to land ordinary people in prison if they tried doing what she did.
Prominent Doctor, Professor of Medicine on Hillary’s Health
Stephen Lendman
Dr. Robert Lahita is Professor of Medicine at Rutgers University, chairman Newark Beth Israel Medical Center department of medicine, as well as author of 16 books and numerous publications relating to autoimmunity. He’s a reviewer for 15 medical journals, a board member on three of them.
He believes concerns about Hillary’s health aren’t conspiratorial, questioning her physical fitness to lead.
“This is a very unusual story with Hillary,” he said, noting two blood clots she was diagnosed with earlier, explaining: “The fact that she’s having these clots and she’s had two bouts of thrombosis (clots obstructing blood flow) is disconcerting to say the least.”
Numerous past presidents had health issues, at times serious, concealed while campaigning and in office, said Lahita. In mid-August, I wrote about presidential illnesses, including Washington, Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, JFK, Reagan and others.
Bloomberg Interviews Putin
Stephen Lendman
Straight talk defines all Putin remarks, unlike Obama’s consistent demagogic double-talk.
Interviewed by Bloomberg’s John Micklethwait in Vladivostok ahead of G 20 leaders meeting in Hangzhou, China on September 4 and 5, Putin was positive on US/Russia cooperation on Syria, saying:
“In my opinion, we’re gradually heading in the right direction, and I don’t exclude that we’ll be able to agree on something in the near future…” We’ve down this road numerous times before on various issues, at times reaching agreement, later breached because Washington unilaterally violated its terms. Hold the cheers on believing this time is different.
Putin denied accusations by US officials and Western media, claiming Russian involvement in hacking DNC emails.
“(D)oes it even matter who hacked this data,” he asked? “The important thing is the content that was given to the public” - important revelations Americans have a right to know about a candidate seeking the nation’s highest office.
