Merkel’s Syria Safe Zone Partition Scheme
Stephen Lendman
Longstanding US/Israeli plans call for redrawing the Middle East map - including partitioning Iraq and Syria, installing pro-Western/Zionist puppet regimes.
Turkey wants a Syria buffer zone to annex border areas between both countries. Weeks earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov blasted the idea, saying creating one would “violate every principle of international law and will lead to a substantial, qualitative escalation” of tensions.
In February, John Kerry told Senate Foreign Relations Committee members that establishing a buffer or safe zone in Syria would require up to 30,000 troops to enforce it, according to Pentagon estimates.
Last November, Trump endorsed the idea, saying “(b)uild a big, beautiful safe zone, and you have whatever it is so people can live, and they’ll be happier.”
Police State Germany
Stephen Lendman
Free expression in all forms is the most important democratic right, no matter how offensive to some people. Without it, all other freedoms are jeopardized.
Articles 1 through 19 of Germany’s constitution affirm basic rights afforded all Germans.
They include equality for all citizens, freedom of speech, assembly, the media, and religion. Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or political beliefs is prohibited.
Conscientious objection to compulsory military service is allowed. Article 18 states:
“Whoever abuses freedom of expression of opinion, in particular freedom of the press, freedom of teaching, freedom of assembly, freedom of association, privacy of posts and telecommunications, property, or the right of asylum in order to combat the free democratic basic order, shall forfeit these basic rights.”
NYT Support for Nazi-Infested Ukraine
Stephen Lendman
The Times consistently supports what demands condemnation, its discussion of US installed Arseniy Yatsenyuk’s ouster the latest example.
He didn’t resign. He outlived his usefulness, didn’t performed as expected, and was sacked - parliament speaker Volodymyr Groysman replacing him.
He’s a US appointed oligarch president Petro Poroshenko favorite, part of Ukraine’s illegitimate regime, Nazis posing as democrats - The Times going along with the charade.
Fascist dictatorship, police state repression, massive corruption and naked aggression on its own people are airbrushed from its reports.
Anyone opposing regime policy risks arrest, prosecution, imprisonment or extrajudicial assassination.
Ukraine is a metastasizing cancer in Europe’s heartland, unsafe and unfit to live in, an untenable situation, millions of its citizens fleeing to Russia or intending to for a new life, free from intolerable governance. More on this below.
Iran Accuses US of Violating Nuclear Deal
Stephen Lendman
America’s history shows trustworthiness isn’t its long suit, treaties and other deals agreed to systematically violated - culpability ignored or counterparties wrongfully blamed for its breaches.
After last year’s nuclear deal was consummated, Obama lied, saying “(h)istory shows that America must lead not just with our might, but with our principles. It shows we are stronger not when we are alone, but when we bring the world together.”
According to a complaint filed last August with the IAEA, Iran said Washington breached nuclear deal principles straightaway - three days after the deal was reached.
NYT: Imperial Mouthpiece
Stephen Lendman
Instead of news and analysis “fit to print,” The Times is a mouthpiece for wealth, power, privilege, suppressing hard truths, proliferating misinformation and Big Lies, ignoring America’s high crimes, causing so much harm to so many worldwide.
It supports endless US wars of aggression, attacks independent states opposed to its megalomaniacal rage for unchallenged dominance.
Russia bashing is Exhibit A, notably Vladimir Putin, the world’s preeminent peacemaker, forthrightly challenging America’s imperial agenda while seeking mutual cooperation at the same time on issues affecting all nations.
“Russian Forces Remain Heavily Involved in Syria, Despite Appearances,” The Times headlined - bashing its vital mission, confronting US aggression, waging real war on terrorism.
It cited unnamed Western “military analysts and diplomatic sources,” calling Russia’s vital mission “another more secretive, hybrid war of the sort that fits into Mr. Putin’s comfort zone.”
Regular Russian Defense Ministry reports explain its daily campaign, openness on its military activities unlike notorious US secrecy The Times ignores. Its reporting reads like administration, congressional or Pentagon press releases.With no corroborating proof, it claimed paramilitaries operate in Syria “much like what Russia used to fight in southeastern Ukraine” - one of many Big Lies The Times and other media scoundrels continue proliferating.
NYT Debate On If Banking Giants Still Too Big to Fail Ignores the Core Issue
Stephen Lendman
Too big to fail or not ignores what’s most important. Predatory bankers make serial killers look good by comparison.
Their business model creates crises, facilitates grand theft, financial terrorism, and debt entrapment.
They steal material wealth, systematically scam investors, and strip mine economies for self-enrichment.
They demand they get paid first, holding nations hostage, turning crises into catastrophes - facilitating the greatest ever wealth transference in history to super-rich elites already with too much, at the same time creating mass impoverishment, high unemployment, neo-serfdom, and human wreckage.
They’re more dangerous than standing armies, waging war by other means, a malignancy ravaging societies and humanity. Economies become subordinate to financial oligarchs, getting things their way exclusively at the expense of the general welfare.
US Supported Terrorists Plan Major Aleppo Offensive
Stephen Stephen
Washington allied with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel and other rogue partners continue arming and providing other material support for imported death squads - used to try toppling the legitimate, overwhelmingly popular Syrian government.
Peace talks mock legitimacy, cover for Obama’s real objective - regime change, destroying Syrian sovereignty, replacing it with US controlled puppet governance, tyranny by any standard. Death squad fighters continue pouring across Turkey’s border into Syria unimpeded - terrorists Washington calls “moderate rebels.”
Obama Claims Success in Combatting ISIS He Supports
Stephen Lendman
Obama is a notorious con man, a serial liar, a moral coward, a Wall Street tool, an anti-populist, a war criminal multiple times over - a typical US president, only worse.
His Wednesday address at CIA headquarters was predictable demagogic duplicity. He took credit for Russia’s war on terrorism, claiming “ISIL is on the defensive” thanks to US-led coalition efforts.
Its thousands of airstrikes in Syria and Iraq with so-called partners failed to hit ISIS targets, willfully avoided them, continues focusing on infrastructure and government sites in both countries.
America’s war on terrorism is entirely fabricated. Russia’s is devastatingly real, smashing ISIS and other terrorist groups, destroying their weapons, munitions, command and control areas, bunkers, other facilities and will to fight.
America’s Money Controlled Political Process
Stephen Lendman
From inception, America was never beautiful or democratic. Rich and powerful interests run things exclusively for their own benefit, ordinary people entirely shut out.
Secrecy and backroom deals substitute for a free, fair and open process. Candidates are pre-selected. Big money owns them. Rare exceptions prove the rule.
Duopoly power excludes independents. Key outcomes are predetermined. Horse race journalism substitutes for discussing issues mattering most.
Voter disenfranchisement is rife. Millions of Americans are denied because of past criminal records, including innocent people wrongfully imprisoned, others for political reasons or offenses too minor to matter.
Anti-Terrorism Operation Begun to Liberate Aleppo
Stephen Lendman
A major campaign to liberate parts of Aleppo still held by US supported terrorists began, a Syrian military source saying:
“The Syrian army has deployed 10,000 soldiers in Aleppo front to begin a large-scale military operation (aided by Russian air power) to push the Takfiris back from the remaining villages which are under the terrorists' control.”
“The Syrian army began the operation to recapture more regions in the Northern suburb of Aleppo on Thursday and pushed the al-Nusra terrorist to evacuate Mallah farms and retreat Eastward after heavy clashes which ended in significant casualties on the terrorist group.”
