MSM War on Gaza
by Stephen Lendman
Journalists daring to criticize Israel responsibility face likely dismissal and banishment from MSM employment.
Once again, Israel waged cold, calculated premeditated aggression against near defenseless Palestinians.
An Israeli Goliath mercilessly attacked a Palestinian David. It did so for unjustifiable reasons. Mass slaughter, destruction and human misery followed.
Non-combatant men, women and children suffered most. They were deliberately targeted. They comprised over 80% of deaths and injuries.
Israeli casualties hardly compare to around 2,000 mostly civilian Palestinian deaths, up to 10,000 injured, large parts of Gaza in ruins, hundreds of thousands forcibly displaced, and families losing all their possessions.
Why Do Soldiers Commit Suicide and Global Warlords
Dr. Mahboob A. Khawaja
Soldiers do not go to fight the unknown enemies on their own. They are indoctrinated and pushed to war paradigm by the political monsters who use them as digits and numbers – to compile official statistic, and to support the economy of dehumanization. Consequently, the fighting soldiers - men of conscience lose unity of the human consciousness - unity of material and spiritual factors of life and balanced characteristic– fair and foul. It is a tragic conjuncture of inner revolt of human consciousness for a crime that is not part of the human nature and character and not visible to scientifically expert minds – the doctors who simply identify mental health issues of those suspected of syndrome to commit suicide. These are the net causalities of man’s insanity against man. The real reasons are hardly mentioned in expert reports. Science and machines cannot comprehend the intricate balance between material and spiritual life and inner consciousness of the self- the human. Politicians who entangle the human beings into warmongering are void of the knowledge of Unity of Human Self - an all embracing sanctity of sacred life created by God.
Indonesia, A Proudly Nazi Nation? Mass Murderers are Ruling
by ANDRE VLTCHEK
Subianto—one more corrupt murderer in a long line of corrupt killers
doing the West’s bidding.
Indonesians have voted and what votes they have cast! Either they have chosen an outright Nazi, or a populist supported by a bunch of Nazis!
The results are actually too close; it appears that almost half of the active Indonesian voters have endorsed either the Mayor of Jakarta – a former furniture salesman and populist known as ‘Jokowi’ – or a former general of the National Special Forces – Prabowo Subianto.
Incompetent according to some, populist, if you listen to others, or fierce ‘reformer’ for quite a substantial group of his supporters, not long ago Mr. Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo appeared to be running almost unopposed. But then the state, intelligence and corporate apparatuses went into gear and the gap ‘miraculously’ closed.
The ‘military camp’ deployed nationalist speeches, insults, and flag waving…
And now it is almost even…
Both candidates have declared victory.
Propaganda and ‘manipulations’ cannot be blamed for everything. There could hardly be any excuse for the great part of the nation being poisoned by racism, a nation submissive to anybody who wears a uniform, who has some power; a nation submissive to market fundamentalism.
From Joan Rivers to Vanunu and Iran by way of WMD
By Eileen Fleming
Last Wednesday Joan Rivers was asked by the celebrity website Splash News Online about Israel’s Operation Protective Edge and replied, “When you declare war, you declare war. They started it. We now don’t count who’s dead. You’re dead. You deserve to be dead. You started it. You started it. Don’t you dare make me feel sad about that” and went on to compare Israel’s operations against Gaza to America’s atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 69 years ago.
In 1995, from his windowless tomb sized prison cell in Ashkelon Prison, Israel’s Nuclear Whistle Blower Mordechai Vanunu wrote:
The Great Israeli Iron Dome Hoax
by Stephen Lendman
Call it a billion dollar + scam. Add another congressionally funded $225 million tax dollars. Expect millions more on request.
In April 2002, noted MIT physicist Theodore Postol headlined his Technology Review article "Why Missile Defense Won't Work."
The notion is more hoax than possibility. His reasoning was detailed and technical. What's supposed to work doesn't as claimed
Hitting and destroying a missile with another one isn't possible. It may never be other than occasional lucky exceptions. Claims otherwise are fabricated to maintain funding and deceive populations into believing they're safe.
According to Postol, "(t)his should be of profound concern to every US citizen" and every Israeli one.
Can Hezbollah Prevent DAASH (IS) From Pulling Lebanon into its Caliphate? Jihadists in Lebanon
by FRANKLIN LAMB
Bedawi Palestinian camp, North Lebanon
The answer to that question is—perhaps. But for a number of reasons, some suggested below, it’s not a happy picture, and it won’t be a walk in the park.
The recent “victories” by DAASH (IS, or Islamic State) in Syria and Iraq have not taken long to begin reverberating through the ground in Lebanon. A gauntlet of sorts stands before this country, one that it must negotiate successfully if it is to avoid an all-out war, dismemberment or its substantial subjection to elements of extreme Islam.
One ISIS leader, Abu Sayyaf al-Ansari, recently announced the expansion of the IS to include Lebanon, declaring, “Our war will no longer be confined to Syria and Iraq. Soon, Lebanon will ignite.” Meanwhile, Lebanon’s branch of al-Nusra Front posted on its Twitter feed its fourth official statement to date, entitled “Urgent appeal to Sunnis in Lebanon.” The statement reads in part:
The New York Times War on Truth
by Stephen Lendman
The NYT is America's leading establishment publication. It represents wealth, power and privilege. It largely scorns populist interests.
It functions as a quasi-official ministry of propaganda. It offers a daily diet of managed news misinformation.
Its front page has global reach. It's the most valued media space anywhere. Times editors use it irresponsibly.
It bears repeating what previous articles stressed. All the news they claim fit to print isn't fit to read.
A January 2013 open letter to NYT editors was this writer's most widely ever read article by far. It touched the right nerve at the right time.
It accused Times editors of suppressing truth, substituting lies, distortions and deception, supporting wrong over right, and betraying their readers in the process.
Barely Reported, Then Totally Ignored: The EU’s Obsequiousness to Obama's Nazism Regarding Ukraine
Eric Zuesse
On 7 February 2014, Oriental Review posted "What about apologizing to Ukraine, Mrs. Nuland?" including a link to the recordings of two successive phone-conversations, uploaded to the Internet the day before, one (up through 04:10) with Obama's Victoria Nuland telling the U.S. Ambassador in Ukraine whom to appoint ("Yats") to run the Ukrainian Government after the coup (which would occur two weeks later) and including her subsequently famous line, "F--k the EU," because the EU's leaders wouldn't like to be publicly associated with such boldly nazi (i.e., racist-fascist) people as Obama's representative was now choosing to run that country; and the other (after 04:10 and spoken in German) between Helga Maria Schmid the EU's Political Director (also titled the Deputy Director of the EU's Diplomatic Corps), and Jan Tombinsky the EU's Ambassador to Ukraine; and this portion of the tape being translated into English at that Oriental Review link, in the printed transcript they were providing of the entire tape.
Why It’s Essential for All Democrats to Email Now to their Democratic Representative in the House, to Salvage the Democratic Party, and the Nation
Eric Zuesse
My email, below, to my Democratic Representative in the U.S. House of Representatives, presents the case, in my words (of course, you should personalize yours, for yourself):
Dear Congressman --- :
Please see this and click on its sources, most of which are videos, and all of which I (a national award-winning investigative journalist) have checked out and found to contain nothing that is at all bogus or even just dubious.
My political hero is Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who opposed fascists both within the United States and abroad, and who especially opposed racist fascists, otherwise known as nazis (after the original, German, anti-Semitic, version of them). (Mussolini's fascism, which he called "corporationism," wasn't of the specifically nazi, or "racist," type.)
MH17, Gaza and the Genius of Western Propaganda
By Mathew Maavak
Not a month goes by without the West invoking yet another affront to humanity, another crime against humanity, another wave of sanctions, or yet another UN Security Council resolution. This is what North Korea would be like if it is ever armed with social media.
Occasionally, we were treated to a new Weapons of Mass Destruction allegation with the proof lying not just in the pudding or in yellow cakes attested by Collin Powell at the UN, but in the delectable offerings of Twitter and Facebook as well. Reality is being defined by the bold, new ethos of “I imagined it and made it up and therefore it must be true” and the number of “likes” you have pre-emptively readied on Facebook before a counter-narrative i.e. “hard evidence” emerges.
Are we witnessing a new era in Weapons of Mass Information (WMI)? I just made that term up and so can you. This phenomenon is known as Hope and Change.
Yesterday’s Hitler is today’s nearly-forgotten dictator in Damascus. Chemical weapons charges appeared and magically disappeared. Why should it matter? If you don’t like a Linkedin update on your thread, just click “delete.”
