NYT: Propaganda Bullhorn Rag Sheet
by Stephen Lendman
Times managed news misinformation repeats with disturbing regularity. Often not rising to the level of bad fiction.
It bears repeating what other articles stressed. So-called news claimed fit to print isn't fit to read. Propaganda rubbish substitutes.
Previous articles discussed fake Russian Ukrainian invasions. With troops, tanks, artillery and other equipment. Baseless Big Lies. Claims without corroboration.
None exists. Fabricated rubbish only. Big Lies substituting for hard truths. Maliciously claiming nonexistent Russian invasions.
The latest in a shameless Times feature story. Headlined "Fears Rise as Russian Military Units Pour Into Ukraine," saying:
"Tanks and other military vehicles pouring over the border from Russia into eastern Ukraine."
"Nightly artillery battles in the region’s biggest city, Donetsk, and reports of fighting around another regional capital."

Enriching insurers, drug companies and large hospital chains. At the expense of universal affordable coverage.
Kiev's War Without Mercy
by Stephen Lendman
Washington bears full responsibility for Ukrainian crisis conditions. Rogue EU states share it.
Supporting and encouraging Kiev's war on its own people. Premeditated naked aggression. Without mercy.
Committing high crimes against peace. Using banned terror weapons. Targeting civilian neighborhoods.
Donbas freedom fighters reported "irrefutable evidence" of a weapon used similar to white phosphorous.
It burns flesh to the bone. Keeps burning until entirely consumed or deprived of oxygen.
The Hague and Geneva Conventions categorically prohibit chemical warfare. Including toxic agents.
Evidence shows Kiev used unidentified poison gas. Causing first-degree chemical-inflicted eye burns, alcoholic-like intoxication, bodily lacerations and fainting.
Media scoundrels say nothing. Ignore what demands headlines. Including banned cluster bombs munitions use.
Recognizing Palestinian Self-Determination
by Stephen Lendman
A universal right. "(B)ased on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples," according to the UN Charter, Article 1.
A fundamental human right. "Everyone…entitled to all" Universal Declaration of Human Rights "freedoms…"
"(W)ithout distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status."
"(O)n the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty."
An estimated 134 countries recognize Palestinian statehood.
Sweden the latest to join ranks with others. The first EU country to do so. In October, British MPs overwhelmingly expressed support.

The Con-man Cornered: Obama and the Democratic Debacle of 2014
James Petras
Introduction
The meteoric rise to power of Barack Obama in 2008 was propelled by one of the greatest demagogic US Presidential campaigns of all time: To millions of young Americans, he promised to end the US wars in the Middle East. To millions of working and middle class voters, he promised to end the economic crisis by confronting Wall Street. To women, he promised to protect and expand their social rights and end the gender gap in wages and salaries. To human rights and civil liberties activists, he promised to end police state surveillance and torture, and to close the Guantanamo concentration camp, which had denied political prisoners a fair and open trial. To blacks, he promised higher living standards and greater racial equality in income. To Latino-Americans, he promised immigration reform facilitating a path to citizenship for long-term residents. Overseas he spoke in Cairo of a “new chapter” in US policy toward the Muslim world. To Russia, he promised President Putin he would ‘reset relations’ – toward greater co-operation.
Obama’s rhetorical flourishes attracted millions of young activists, women and minority voters and leaders to work for his election and the Democratic Party. He won a resounding victory! And the Democrats took control of the House and Senate.
Obama at APEC
by Stephen Lendman
China and Russia offer carrots, not sticks. Obama is polar opposite. Couched in duplicitous diplomatic rhetoric.
"It is wonderful to be back in China," he said. His sixth trip as president. Second this year.
Shamelessly calling America "a thoroughly Pacific nation." Code language for wanting it to be its backyard. Dominion in a part of the world not its own.
Instituting, maintaining and force-feeding what James Petras calls a "Golden Age of Pillage."
On the one hand, wanting China marginalized, weakened, isolated, and contained. Surrounded by US bases. Targeting its heartland.
On the other, pushing the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). A secretive trade deal from hell.
UN Gaza War Inquiry: Legitimate or Whitewash?
by Stephen Lendman
On November 10, the UN Media Center headlined "Gaza: Ban forms independent panel to investigate recent conflict," saying:
An "internal inquiry aim(s) (to review) 'certain incidents' reported at United Nations facilities in the Gaza Strip during the recent summer conflict there between Palestinian factions and the State of Israel."
"(W)here UN facilities - including schools run by the UN agency tasked with assisting Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) - sustained hits resulting in the deaths of numerous innocent civilians and UN staff members."
As well as "incidents in which weapons were found to be present on United Nations premises."
Establishment panel member figures include:
Dutch Major General Patrick Cammaert chairman. Former Democratic Republic of the Congo UN Force Commander. Secretary-General military advisor.
Institutionalized Israeli State Terror
by Stephen Lendman
Just when you think things can't get worse, they do. Israel finds new ways to surprise. Couched in Big Lies.
A daily litany burying hard truths. Many too outrageous too ignore.
Wrongdoing writ large. Terrorism is what they do, not us.
On November 11, the Silwan, East Jerusalem-based Wadi Hilweh Information Center (WHIC) reported an IDF arrest warrant for two-year-old Hamza.
Saying he's wanted for questioning. Confirming it when showing up to detain him. Raiding the family home.
An Israeli intelligence officer demanding to see the boy. Told he lived next door. Leaving without comment.
According to WHIC, "Israeli forces seized three computers from the Zeidani family's home after arresting their 16-year-old son Mohammed."
How Our People Do Their Extermination-Jobs in Ukraine
Eric Zuesse
Below is a video of “our side” in the Ukrainian civil war carrying out part of the Ukrainian Defense Minister, Mikhail Koval’s, extermination plan, which was injudiciously described by him right after a press conference.
On June 11th, an “Anti-Maidan” or anti-ethnic-cleansing, site, posted to youtube excerpts from previously unpublished press-conference Q&A-session statements by Koval, which were made perhaps immediately following the Defense Minister’s private meeting on June 4th with top NATO officials, who endorsed his plan. This youtube was titled “Secretary of Defense [Mikhailo Koval] About Concentration Camp for Eastern Ukraine People.”
