Obama’s Big Lie Claiming Russia Not Combating ISIS
by Stephen Lendman
Obama maintains the fiction of America’s war on terrorism, a complete fabrication, suppressing its full responsibility for creating and supporting its scourge, a monstrous enemy of humanity, vital to combat, contain and eliminate.
Addressing reporters at the Paris climate conference, he lied, saying no one should be “under any illusions” about Russia waging war on terrorism - absurdly claiming its campaign achieved no substantial changes on the ground.
Fact: America’s war on terrorism is fake. It’s the world’s greatest proliferator OF terrorism. Russia’s campaign is real, changing the dynamic significantly on the ground in Syria.
Fact: It’s routing ISIS forces effectively, destroying their weapons, facilities, ability to produce and transport stolen Syrian and Iraqi oil to Turkey for refining and black market sales, and in some areas their will to fight, letting Syrian combat troops recapture earlier lost territory, a major change from before Moscow got involved.
International Day of Solidarity with Palestine
by Stephen Lendman
International solidarity with Palestinians is commemorated on November 29 - when General Assembly members in 1947 passed Res. 181, the Palestine Partition Plan against the will of its majority population.
It granted 56% of historic Palestine’s most valued land to Jews (with one-third of the population), 42% to Palestinians, Jerusalem designed an international city under a UN Trusteeship Council, including the entire city, Bethlehem and Beit Sahour, encompassing area holy sites.
The resolution called for an independent Palestinian state by October 1, 1948 - never achieved, Israel defiantly opposed to this day - wanting all Judea and Samaria for itself, Palestinians at most confined to isolated bantustans on worthless scrubland, victimized by Israeli state terrorism.
Israel Supports ISIS
by Stephen Lendman
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon earlier admitted Israeli support for ISIS and other takfiri terrorists, deceptively calling them Syrian rebels - failing to explain they’re imported from scores of countries, used as imperial foot soldiers to oust Assad, no so-called “moderates” among them.
Since Obama waged war on Syria in March 2011, Israel bombed government targets multiple times, naked aggression against its northern neighbor. It continues supplying terrorist elements with weapons, munitions and other support.
Cameron Lobbies UK Parliament for Naked Aggression on Syria
by Stephen Lendman
Britain partners with all US wars of aggression, raging in multiple theaters. Prime Minister David Cameron wants all-out war on Syria, not against ISIS and other terrorists as he falsely claims.
During Wednesday parliamentary debate, he lied, calling it a moral and military duty to bomb Syria - either taking on the “evil” of ISIS in its heartland or “wait(ing) for it to attack us,” failing to explain his ugly scheme complicit with Washington: attacking Syria to remove Assad, supporting ISIS foot soldiers on the ground. He maliciously bashed Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, outrageously crossing the line, turning truth on its head, calling him a “terrorist sympathizer.
Russia Proves Turkey’s Involvement in Selling Stolen Syrian and Iraqi Oil
by Stephen Lendman
Western media say little about what demands daily headlines. Erdogan and his regime are complicit with ISIS, supplying training, weapons, and acting as a conduit for stolen Syrian and Iraqi oil, profiting hugely from its sales.
Washington denies clear evidence of Erdogan’s rogue enterprise, together with his son, Bilal, and others. Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov minced no words, saying:
“Maybe I'm being too blunt, but one can only entrust control over this thieving business to one’s closest associates.”
“In the West, no one has asked questions about the fact that the Turkish president's son heads one of the biggest energy companies, or that his son-in-law has been appointed energy minister. What a marvelous family business.”
Russia’s Real War on Terrorism v. US Pretense
by Stephen Lendman
America is the problem, Russia the solution in the war on terrorism, Putin going all-out to defeat the scourge Obama supports - complicit with rogue NATO partners, Israel and Middle East despots.
No squaring the circle between US and Russian policy is possible because of Washington’s ruthless imperial agenda - wanting dominion over planet earth, willing to risk destroying it to achieve its aims, madness by any standard.
Bipartisan US policymakers support endless wars of aggression, raping one country after another, stealing their resources, exploiting their people, creating societies unfit to live in, eliminating nonbelievers.
Humanity’s survival was never more up for grabs in world history than today. Lunatics in Washington may kill us all. Russia continues going all-out to save us, waging a committed war on terrorism in Syria. Perhaps Iraq is next.
Rogue State Greece
by Stephen Lendman
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras along with rogue SYRIZA party allies spurned their proclaimed progressive principles straightaway in office, betraying long-suffering Greeks, hoping at last for governance serving their interests responsibly.
Tsipras is like all the rest, on the wrong side of major issues mattering most, including US-led NATO’s killing machine, Greece an Alliance member in good standing, supporting endless wars of aggression, opposing world peace and stability, against fundamental rights long-suffering Palestinians deserve. He met with Netanyahu and other Israeli officials in Jerusalem, outrageously calling the city Israel’s capital - unrecognized by the UN and vast majority of world nations.
NATO Discussing Ways to Provoke Russia Further
by Stephen Lendman
On Tuesday and Wednesday, NATO foreign ministers are meeting in Brussels on the pretext of “work(ing) on further measures to assure Turkey’s security,” and related issues, based on a nonexistent Russian threat.
It sounds like a bad joke, except issues at stake are deadly serious, Russia-bashing featured in all NATO meetings, Erdogan’s well-planned act of aggression complicit with Washington called self-defense, Secretary-General Stoltenberg saying:
NATO has “standing defense plans for (member country) Turkey (including) augmented…air defenses, (part of its) long-term commitment to an ally” - despite no nation threatening its security.
Washington “deployed aircraft to support Turkey’s air defenses” - Britain to follow suit along with Germany and Denmark. “(W)e have decided to address the need to support Turkey before the incident last week.”
Were NATO officials briefed about plans to down a Russian aircraft before the incident? All the fuss about Turkey reflects the latest way of bashing Russia. US-dominated NATO countries partnered with Israel and rogue Arab states alone threaten world peace and stability. Russia is the world’s leading anti-war nation - committed with its non-Western allies against the scourge of terrorism, what America fosters globally to serve its imperial interests.
More US Special Forces Heading to Support ISIS in Iraq and Syria
by Stephen Lendman
Washington’s war on terror is a complete fabrication - throughout the Middle East and elsewhere, supporting ISIS and other terrorist groups, not combating them as falsely claimed.
On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter announced more US special forces heading for Iraq on top of thousands already there, as well as increased numbers for Syria - part of Washington’s regional aggression, advancing its imperium at the expense of world peace and stability.
Carter claiming US combat troops will aid Iraqi and Kurdish peshmerga forces against ISIS is a Big Lie. Direct US military involvement in Iraq and Syria escalates ongoing conflicts, instigated by Washington in the first place, intending to make matters worse.
An Open Letter to Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton, the Minnesota EPA, the PCA, the DNR and Every Thinking Minnesota Citizen: PolyMet and the Rest of the Copper/Nickel Mining Industry are Lying to Us About the Safety of its Proposed Operations in NE Minnes
By Gary G. Kohls, MD
Attention: Governor Dayton (and your staff):
Knowing your innate sense of fairness and your sincere desire to do the right thing for the people of Minnesota, please take a few minutes (disregarding all the corporate lobbyists that are bugging you 24/7) and read the following items. Be sure to view a couple of the short videos.
It has been slightly over a year since North America’s worst mining waste disaster occurred at Mount Polley, British Columbia.
It was on August 4, 2014 that the Imperial Metals mine had its massive tailings dam burst, polluting aquifers, many streams and lakes and ultimately the migratory Sockeye salmon-bearing Fraser River, the longest river in British Columbia. The Fraser flows for 854 miles emptying into the Georgia Strait and the Pacific Ocean at the city of Vancouver.
Typical for such catastrophic mining industry failures, the Harper government of Canada tried to cover up the disaster and most of us on either side of the border were made unaware of the event. Thus, this disaster was censored out of both Canadian and American consciousness by a co-opted media that utterly failed to adequately report on it.
