We'll Never Learn
Timothy Gatto
America is on the verge of another "Crusade". Of course they are not telling us this directly, but the mass media has lined up its "polls" and has concluded that 90% of Americans want to defeat ISIS or ISIL or IS (whatever). The reason for this is because of the beheadings of two Americans and a Brit. Understandable, right?
I guess if you believe what the media tells you, you really can't be faulted for being outraged. When I saw the first video, I too, was incensed. It is pretty hard not to be outraged. Still, the longer I think about it, the more I wonder about some of the things America has done in Iraq and the rest of the area.
Palestinian reconciliation at crossroads
By Nicola Nasser*
President Mahmoud Abbas and the Fatah movement, which he commands, have unleashed a media campaign against Hamas and the resistance. If pressure from the Palestinian public fails to stop the campaign, Abbas may achieve politically what Israel failed to achieve militarily: forcing the Palestinian presidency to choose “peace with Israel” over national reconciliation.
It appears that President Abbas has, indeed, prioritised “peace with Israel.” He has devised plans for resuming negotiations, and is still banking on American support for such talks. This is the only explanation for the current anti-Hamas media campaign.
Russia Denounces New Western Sanctions
by Stephen Lendman
New EU sanctions target Russian finance, energy and defense sectors.
They restrict state-owned energy giants Rosneft, Transneft and Gazprom Neft (its oil subsidiary) from raising capital in European markets.
They prohibit buying their 30-day yield bonds and equities of any kind.
Five state-owned banks were targeted. They include Sberbank, VTB, Gazprombank, Vnesheconombank (VEB) and Rosselkhozbank.
They're prohibited from raising capital in EU markets. Purchasing newly issued bonds and other securities with maturities over 30 days are banned.
Russell Tribunal on Ukraine
by Stephen Lendman
The Russell Tribunal (RT) is an activist peace organization. It's known as the International War Crimes Tribunal.
It condemns America's permanent war agenda. It opposes New World Order extremism. Its members include academics, intellectuals and artists.
It's inspired by the BRussells Tribunal. It was named after after famed philosopher/mathematician/anti-war/anti-imperialism activist Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970).
He warned many years ago:
"Shall we put an end to the human race, or shall mankind renounce war" and live in peace. There's no in between.
Previous tribunals investigated war crimes in Vietnam, Iraq and Palestine. Others examined human rights abuses in Latin America and psychiatry.
Israeli High Crimes Against Peace Examined
by Stephen Lendman
Operation Protective Edge is the latest example. Hard facts explain best. Listing them all requires volumes. A snapshot follows below.

Total deaths: 2,188
Other reports exceed 2,200.
Total wounded: 10,895
Other reports exceed 11,000

Fail Britannia - They can't help it ...
Michael Collins
… it's their nature. The United Kingdom (UK) Treasury and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) were caught red handed trying to scare Scottish voters into voting No on independence in the September 18 referendum (HeraldScotland). The two government organizations did so using confidential information about the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) obtained by the UK Treasury. Based on this insider government information from Treasury, BBC then ran a story (Sep 11) about RBS leaving Scotland before the RBS board decided on its announcement. This had the clear effect of embarrassing the independence movement by showing that a major bank was leaving Scotland, which fed other scare tactics about Scotland suffering should voters choose independence and freedom.
Mae Brussell, the GodMother of Targeted Individuals
by Tracy Turner
Mae Brussell
In the fiction serial X Files, the three characters known as the Lone Gunmen are very loose, fictional representations of true-to-life Mae Brussell (May 29, 1922 – October 3, 1988). Mae was a radio personality sometimes written up almost solely as a JFK assassination conspiracy theorist, but there are many other articles both by and about Mae Brussell.
How Nixon Actually Got Into Power, THE SLA IS THE CIA, and the must-read Operation Chaos and the Assassination of John Lennon are just a few of her works aside from the John F. Kennedy Killing.
Mae Brussell read numerous newspapers, magazines and circulars she subscribed to from the government printing office. Government officials often listened to her broadcasts and subscribed to her mimeographs. Project Camelot, the Nazi Connection to the John F. Kennedy Assassination, and From Monterey Pop to Altamont. OPERATION CHAOS: The CIA's War Against the Sixties Counter-Culture is more Mae Brussell must-reads.
My message to the Jews in light of the Gaza holocaus
By Khalid Amayreh
I realize very well that Jews are not carbon copies of each other. And I also know perfectly well that there are many Jews around the world who truly despise what Israel has been doing to the Palestinian people in your name.
I earnestly commend these conscientious Jews for their morality and human decency. It is these honest and honourable people that enable us to retain the hope that counting on Jewish morality is not a lost cause.
None the less, one must be faithful to one's conscience and intellectual honesty. That is why we must recognize that there are huge numbers of Jews who have found themselves transformed thoroughly into soldiers of darkness and advocates of evil. Today, there are Jews, too many of them, who shamelessly advocate the total annihilation of the Palestinian people. We also know that yesterday, there were many non-Jews who shamelessly advocated the total annihilation of Jews.
We have seen many Jews celebrate the mass murder of Palestinian children. There is no point in denying the undeniable.
Mustafa Barghouti on Operative Protective Edge
by Stephen Lendman
Barghouti is special. He's important. He's multi-faceted. He's a man for all seasons. He's a physician, political activist, and human rights champion.
He supports nonviolent resistance. He's a Palestinian National Initiative (PNI) co-founder. He currently serves as secretary-general.
PNI aims to build Palestinian unity. It does so in struggling for self-determination. It does it by promoting democratic values.
Barghouti is a Palestinian Legislative Council/PLO member. He's a former presidential candidate. Israel rigged Abbas' 2005 election to deny him.
He was harassed while campaigning. He was intimidated. He was arrested. He was expelled from East Jerusalem.
He was excluded from Nablus and Gaza. He was prevented from competing fairly against Israel's preferred choice.
IDF Soldiers Denounce Israeli High Crimes Against Peace
by Stephen Lendman
Netanyahu is a world class thug. He's a war criminal multiple times over. He heads Israel's fascist government.
He wages genocidal war on Palestine. Operation Protective Edge (OPE) is the latest example. It was war without mercy.
Mass slaughter and destruction were horrific. James Petras calls Israel a "genocidal state."
"Citizens and soldiers, criminals and professionals, torturers and sociopaths…coexist within the same person," he says.
Exterminating Palestinians is official policy. It's consciously pursued. It's done with "savage enthusiasm."
