Irresponsible Syria Bashing
by Stephen Lendman
Syria's June 3 presidential election approaches. It's historic. It's the Syrian Arab Republic's first ever free, fair, open presidential process.
Twenty-four aspirants registered to compete. Parliamentarians Hassan al-Nouri and Maher Hajjar were approved. So was Assad.
He's overwhelmingly popular. He's expected to win easily. Syrians want no one else leading them. He's especially trusted now. He's defeating foreign invaders.
He's doing it responsibly. He's fighting for Syrian freedom. For its independent sovereign rights. He's up to the challenge. He's winning. He's defeating Obama's dirty game. He deserves universal support.
Kiev's War on Freedom
by Stephen Lendman
Western-supported coup-appointed putschists have no legitimacy. Waging war on freedom reflects official Kiev policy.
Washington endorses it. Upcoming sham May 25 elections exclude democracy from ballot choices.
They're at the same time as Kiev aggression continues. They're attacking Eastern Ukrainians.
They're murdering them in cold blood. So-called "anti-terrorist operation(s)" reflect state terrorism writ large.
Fascist regimes operate this way. They reemerged in Europe. Coup-appointed Kiev thugs represent its epicenter.
Upcoming elections are rigged. Democracy is pure fantasy. Results are largely pre-determined.
Activist Professor Denis Rancourt's Judicial Lynching
by Stephen Lendman
Rancourt reflects academia's best, most competent, most responsible and bravest. He has two blog sites. Visit them for updated information.
Activist Teacher and U of O Watch provide updates. They explain what most people can't imagine. What happened to Rancourt can happen to anyone responsibly challenging what's too deplorable to accept.
Injustice defines Western societies. Canada marches in lockstep with Washington.
Rogue state ruthlessness defines both countries. Imperial priorities matter most. Inviolable laws don't matter. Nor judicial fairness.
Rancourt is a distinguished University of Ottawa (U of O) professor. He's tenured. He's a recognized physics and environmental science expert.
Students loved him. He's a "phenomenal teacher," they said. He didn't teach to the test like in America.
Washington Risks Global War
by Stephen Lendman
This writer's edited and contributed to new book discusses what's ongoing in depth. It explains why it matters. It sheds light on what's likely coming.
It's titled "Flashpoint in Ukraine: Why the US Drive for Hegemony Risks WW III." Twenty-two distinguished analysts contributed content. They include:
Arab World’s Withering Heights
Dr. Mahboob A. Khawaja
“Certain forms of modern life lead directly to degeneration….in the poor as well the rich, leisure engenders degeneration. Cinemas, concerts, radios, automobiles and athletics are no substitute for intelligent work. We are far from having solved this momentous problem of idleness created by prosperity, modern machinery or unemployment. By imposing leisure upon man, scientific civilization has brought him great misfortune. We are incapable of fighting the consequences of indolence and irresponsibility as cancer and mental diseases……after all the purpose of civilization is not the progress of science and machines, but the progress of man.” - (Alexis Carrel. Man the Unknown, 1936)
Israeli State Terror
by Stephen Lendman
Every day is Kristallnacht in Palestine. Israeli security forces attack, brutalize, murder or injure nonviolent Palestinians with impunity.
They're ruthless. They're lawless. It's standard practice. Crimes too grave to ignore occur multiple times daily.
Soldiers, border guards and police harass, intimidate and terrorize Palestinians ruthlessly.
They hold an entire population hostage.
Fear is constant. It's pervasive. Collective punishment is official Israeli policy. Peaceful public demonstrations are prohibited. So are free expression and movement. Population centers are isolated. Borders are closed. Occupation harshness denies Palestinians control over their own land.
Normal daily life is nonexistent. Economic strangulation is imposed. Institutionalized racism reflects official Israeli policy.
The ‘revolutionary’ face of the Syrian conflict
By Nicola Nasser*
Reports are abound by international organizations about the responsibility of the Syrian government for the human rights violations in the ongoing conflict in Syria, now in its fourth year, but the responsibility of the insurgents has been kept away from media spotlight for political reasons.
However, the horrible image of the “revolutionary” performance imposed itself on the media and public opinion to an extent that it has become impossible to black it out anymore.
Internationally last Thursday, for example, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations, Samantha Power, said that Russia’s and China’s vetoes against a United Nations Security Council resolution to refer allegations of war crimes in Syria to the International Criminal Court (ICC) “protect monstrous terrorist organizations operating in Syria … who are pursuing a fundamentalist assault on the Syrian people that knows no decency or humanity.”
Kiev Wages War on Free Expression
by Stephen Lendman
It wants truth suppressed. It wants its own message alone reported. It wants fundamental freedoms eliminated altogether.
Neo-Nazi fascist regimes operate this way. Ukraine is by far the region's worst. It menaces its own people.
It launched premeditated aggression. It continues against Eastern Ukrainian freedom fighters. Against noncombatant civilians.
Against opposition elements nationwide. Against independent journalists. Against Russian ones.
Some were denied entry. Others were deported. Various ones were attacked.
LifeNews journalists Oleg Sidyankin and Marat Saichenk were harassed. They were arrested. They're detained.
Irresponsible China Bashing
by Stephen Lendman
China bashing reflects official US policy. Washington does it numerous ways.
It's reprehensible. It's confrontational. It's potentially belligerent. Rogue states operate this way.
No nation spies on more nations than America. None more intrusively. None more aggressively. None more lawlessly.
None for more reasons. None in more ways. None more duplicitous about it. None more involved in cybercrime. More on this below.
China is a major US economic, political and military rival. Washington wants it marginalized, weakened and isolated.
It wants its sovereign independence eliminated. It want pro-Western puppet governance replacing it.
It wants its resources plundered. It wants its people exploited. Bashing China risks open conflict. So does pursuing America's overall imperial objectives.
Irresponsible Scoundrel Media China Bashing
by Stephen Lendman
Media scoundrels march in lockstep with Washington's worst policies. They do it egregiously. They do it irresponsibly. They do it ad nauseam.
They're virtual government house organs. They twist vital truths to fit US policy.
They're bashing China. They're piling on. It followed reprehensible Justice Department charges. A separate article discussed them.
Washington never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity to engage other nations responsibly.
Polar opposite polices substitute. They're standard practice. Washington rules alone apply. Other nations are pressured, bullied and threatened to comply.
