Russian S-400s Protect Syrian Airspace
by Stephen Lendman
Deploying Russia’s S-400 air defense system to Syria warns Washington, Turkey and other potential NATO or regional adversaries it will destroy anything seen threatening its aircraft or ground personnel.
Its technology is unmatched - the world’s most sophisticated state-of-the-art anti-aircraft/anti-missile system capability able to strike targets up to 400 km away at altitudes up to 90,000 feet, including fifth generation warplanes, as well as ballistic and cruise missiles. It’s protected against electronic warfare and able to hit targets beyond the horizon. No other country has anything matching it, including America.
Law & Order, They Live, Satan and CPS
By Katherine Smith PhD
[I have been raising awareness about The Nationwide Broken Child Protection Services (CPS) since 2013 (www.savelexi.com).]
Have you ever wondered why Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, the ripped-from-the-headlines plots trading on the controversies of the day, are so popular?
The long running and hugely popular SVU boasts more than six million viewers.
I can think of only two reasons why the suspenseful, intense, creepy, Law and Order SVU Episodes [Appendix B] are so popular:
1) In spite of evidence to the contrary, we want to believe that the criminals are really captured in a timely fashion and we don’t have to worry about them harming us, OR
2) The Law & Order pop culture traffics in the lurid and transfixing gravitas of sexual trauma because we enjoy watching the suffering of innocent people. There is no evidence to the contrary: the reality of our criminal system is that if you are in jail you are either innocent, a loser or you were convicted for political reasons.
Why would anyone enjoy watching the suffering of innocent people?
Have you ever watched any of the Alien series on TV? Lost Girl, Being Human and Bitten are all Canadian-based supernatural “original’ scripts. [1] Lost Girl is about humanoids called "Fae" who clandestinely live among and feed on us humans. The Government of Canada and the Canadian cable industry participated in the production with Canada and Ontario Film Tax Credits.
Why do I emphasize the Canadian connection? Because former Canadian Defense Minister, Paul Hellyer, who had access to highly classified information during the height of the cold war, has very recently (February 3, 2014) put himself in the spotlight by speaking about extraterrestrials on Russia Today’s program SophieCo. You can be sure Hellyer is a disinformation agent because he is telling Sophie’s viewers that the aliens are sitting around a STAR-bucks on their planet wondering why “we humans fight each other and spend our money with these exotic thermonuclear weapons and atomic weapons, instead of feeding the poor and looking after the homeless and the sick.”
But, remember there is information in dis-information. When Hellyer declares, “[I’ve] been getting from various sources [that] there are about 80 different species and some of them look just like us and they could walk down the street and you wouldn’t know if you walked past one,” it's hard to miss the reference to the movie They Live, the 1988 American horror film, directed by John Carpenter. Roddy Piper, star of the movie, recently twittered that They Live wasn’t a work of fiction, but a documentary. In the movie, an unemployed drifter referred to as "Nada" (Roddy Piper) discovers a special pair of sunglasses; looking through them he sees the reality of a bleak world populated by humanoid aliens with grotesque skull-like faces. Without those special sunglasses, the human masses see only beings that look like themselves. [2]

Rogue State Turkey
by Stephen Lendman
A personal note. To all my wonderful friends and readers emailing me get well wishes during what thankfully was a short-term hospitalization, my deep and sincere thanks - the best med I received by far, along with some writing I was able to do. It’s wonderful being home again.
Turkey’s aggression against Russia complicit with Washington remains foremost on my mind - two rogue states posing major threats to world peace. Their actions speak for themselves. Ergodan would never attack Russia on his own. Washington likely planned and orchestrated what happened. He was the triggerman, a fascist dictator destabilizing the region along with destroying fundamental freedoms at home. More on his homeland repression below.
Hollande in Moscow
by Stephen Lendman
On November 26, French President Francois Hollande met with Vladimir Putin in Moscow - discussing joint efforts in combating ISIS and other terrorist groups.
They agreed to share intelligence, Hollande saying “France is ready to work hand in hand with Russia to achieve a common goal of fighting terror groups and Islamic State in the first place.”
Proof will be in the pudding if forthcoming. Chances are slim at best. Both leaders have polar opposite aims. France is a key NATO member/close US ally.
Putin respects Syrian sovereignty, supporting the right of its people alone to decide who’ll lead them, foreign powers having no say - international law backing his position.
Erdogan’s Treachery
by Stephen Lendman
Downing Russia’s aircraft was an act of war and treachery - Erdogan revealing his rogue credentials for the whole world to see, compounded by his Big Lie about invoking Turkish rules of engagement against the plane entering its territory.
Russia has clear evidence proving otherwise, including exposing his fraudulent claims about issuing “10 warnings.” Lies compounding other lies produce Bigger Lies.
Turkey was caught red-handed. No explanations came from Western media scoundrels, supporting what demands condemnation, especially US imperial wars.
Surviving navigator Konstantin Murakhtin told RT International: “It’s impossible that we violated (Turkish) airspace even for a second. We were flying at an altitude of 6,000 meters in completely clear weather, and I had total control of our flight path throughout.”
Challenging Paradox of “Terrorism” and Wars against Humanity
Mahboob A Khawaja
“Throughout history, oppressed people have been overwhelmed and immobilized by the seeming indestructibility of the military establishment in power. Whether it be a Hitler, an Attila, or the powerful Ozymandias of old, the mighty call upon the weak to “look on my works … and despair.” But whether these tyrants are defeated by their enemies, or, like an uncontrolled forest fire that burns itself out as a result of its own self-destructing flames, all such empires fade and fall. The hubris and inhumanity of our leaders and owners result in their own annihilation – the only question is how many will have died while they wreaked their havoc on the people and resources of the planet.” (Luke Hiken, How Should Americans Respond to Leaders Who Are War Criminals?”“ Dissident Voice 6/29/2011).
Did Washington Order Russian Aircraft Shot Down?
by Stephen Lendman
A personal note. I’m not writing from my usual location, comfortably at home on my desktop - currently hospitalized, hopefully released soon.
I’ll be briefer than usual, conserving strength - thankful to maintain daily communication with readers, best as able when less than par.
Let’s not mince words. Washington is no Russian partner. It policy is adversarially hostile, notably during the Cold War, especially throughout Putin’s leadership years - a preeminent world leader/peace champion polar opposite rogues running America, perhaps one day able to turn the tide against their hegemonic agenda.
Erdogan Megalomania
by Stephen Lendman
He’s a despotic loose cannon, a close US imperial ally, one of 28 NATO members - part of its killing machine war on humanity.
Downing Russia’s aircraft was an act of war - Washington the likely orchestrator, both nations acting conspiratorially - part of longstanding US-led Putin-bashing, the one world leader above all others challenging America’s imperial agenda forthrightly, deserving universal praise and support.
On Thursday, Erdogan brashly, recklessly and defiantly said he’ll continue downing Russian aircraft on the phony pretext of Turkish airspace violations - bluster without proof. “If another violation of our aerial border happens, we(‘ll) respond in the same way,” he raved - lying by claiming Russia’s plane was shot down “within the rules of engagement announced earlier.”
Ten billion reasons to demand system change
By Rajesh Makwana
Has the international community left it too late to prevent runaway climate change and widespread ecological degradation? Does the typical citizen and career politician have the inclination to accept the severity of the ‘planetary emergency’, let alone make the lifestyle changes and policy decisions needed to address it? And can the upcoming UN climate negotiations in Paris really signal an end to the unregulated dumping of carbon emissions, or mark a shift away from the business-as-usual approach to economic development?
These are among the many troubling questions that emerge when watching a new documentary written and presented by one of the world’s foremost scientists, Professor Stephen Emmott. The film – Ten Billion – draws on a bewildering array of statistics to paint a grim picture of humanity’s future prospects on Planet Earth. As the title suggests, the narrative emphasises the overwhelmingly destructive impact that human ‘progress’ is having on the natural world, especially as the global population heads towards the ten billion mark at the end of this century. Given the ongoing failure to reduce population growth and curb ever-increasing levels of consumption, Professor Emmott argues that governments appear to be completely incapable of adopting a more sustainable socio-economic model, even in the face of an impending ecological catastrophe.
Gallup Finds Americans Are Ideological Suckers About Healthcare
Eric Zuesse
Gallup headlined on November 23rd, “In U.S., 51% Say Government Should Ensure Healthcare Coverage,” and reported that, when asked “Do you think it is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage, or is that not the responsibility of the federal government?” 51% choose “Yes, government responsibility,” and 47% choose “No, not government responsibility.”
In other words: more Americans are socialists than are not socialists.
According to core socialist belief, basic healthcare is a human right that applies equally to all citizens; all socialists believe that though some dermatological and other treatments should be available only on the basis of an individual’s ability-to-pay, healthcare that’s essential for living a pain-free and economically productive life should be available to everyone equally, no matter how little income they have.
And, by contrast, capitalists believe that if you get into a traffic accident or get a dread disease and need medicines that cost $300,000 per year, and maybe expensive surgery, etc., and you can’t afford that, you should just die — tough luck, you’re not ‘worth’ the cost, but any billionaire automatically woud be worth it.
However, here were the results of the most extensive ideological survey of Americans, and it showed that Americans overwhelmingly reject “socialism”; they are “capitalists” instead:
