Saudi Arabia: Headed Toward Becoming Nuclear Armed and Dangerous?
by Stephen Lendman
Saudi Arabia is a radicalized Islamist police state threatening the entire region with terrorism and belligerence.
Reports indicate Riyadh wants or intends becoming nuclear armed - on the bogus pretext of countering Iran's known peaceful nuclear program.
Last November, BBC diplomatic and defence editor Mark Urban said months earlier "a senior NATO decision maker told me that he had seen intelligence reporting that nuclear weapons made in Pakistan on behalf of Saudi Arabia are now sitting ready for delivery." They're paid for - ready to be shipped on request. A WikiLeaks reported State Department cable called it "logical for the Saudis to step in as the physical 'protector' of the Arab world by seeking nuclear weapons."
The Jewish Solidarity Spin
By Gilad Atzmon
Dear friends, this is pretty much a summery of my argument against Jewish power and the corrosive impact of Jewish left. If you are interested in my work or even oppose everything I do, I urge you to watch (or read) this talk.
In order to grasp the way in which contemporary solidarity terminology operates to deceive and derail the Palestinian cause, we will look at a few theoretical simulations that will help to clarify the corrosive nature that is the contemporary pro Palestinian discourse.
Nabil is a fictional 25-year-old Palestinian, 3rd generation refugee born and living in Sabra and Shatila, Lebanon. Nabil is unemployed. No prospect of a future for him. As a Palestinian refugee his chances of higher education or a decent job are non-existent. Nabil cannot even obtain a travel document. He is stranded in the camp.
Why Elites Love Drones
Robert J. Burrowes
I sometimes read that drone strikes are counterproductive to western security interests because each person killed by a drone results in more new 'terrorists'. See, for example, 'The more civilians US drones kill in the Mideast, the more radicals they create'. http://rt.com/op-edge/252705-drone-operation-us-strategy-military/
However, this analysis completely fails to understand what is driving elite military policy, carried out by the United States elite and key elite allies within NATO and elsewhere. In brief: drone strikes work precisely because they provoke violent responses which help elites to 'justify' their perpetual war to secure control of the world's diminishing supplies of fossil fuels, water and strategic minerals while tightening control of domestic populations through expansion of the security and surveillance state.
Netanyahu Appoints Hardline Peace Negotiator
by Stephen Lendman
Silvan Shalom
So-called Israeli/Palestinian peace talks are farcical when held - the greatest hoax in modern times, dead on arrival every time.
Netanyahu deplores peace. He opposes Palestinian self-determination. So does his new chief negotiator - hardline Likudnik Silvan Shalom.
He's interior minister and deputy prime minister. Appointing him peace negotiator underscores Netanyahu's contempt for Palestinian rights.
State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke downplayed what demands outrage saying "(w)e continue to believe that a two-state solution in vital." "It is not a secret that the new Israeli government includes cabinet members who do not necessarily believe in that premise." In 2012, Shalom said Likud officials "are all against a Palestinian state. There is no question about it."
Mazal Tov To Ludwig Watzal and The ‘Call For BDS’
By Gilad Atzmon
It is encouraging to read that Ludwig Watzal, my prime detractor in Germany, has now fully embraced my criticism of Jewish liberals and the Jewish Left. Watzal now admits that the BDS Movement has been hijacked by Liberal Zionists.
Just a few years ago, Watzal labelled me a racist and an ‘anti-Semite’ for suggesting in “The Wandering Who” that the Jewish Left operates as a controlled opposition apparatus. Watzal’s review of The Wandering Who complained that: “The book is very well written, which make its harmful and racist theses more dangerous.” His review also said, Atzmon’s “hatred is directed not only against the Zionists, but above all against Jewish Left, left anti-Zionists and those who oppose the Israeli government policy as Jews.”
Much Respect To And For Jeffrey Sterling!--
Larry Pinkney
Jeffrey Sterling
"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X [el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz]
Remember that in 2015, a real human being who happened to be a Black man, Jeffrey Sterling, paid dearly for being honest and for-real! The vast majority of the so-called 'Black intelligentsia' (like many of their White counterparts) have demonstrated that they are simply insidious opportunists and despicable political harlots! It is reminiscent of the classic novel entitled, The Spook Who Sat Beside The Door, by Sam Greenlee. Without 'whistle blowers' such as Jeffrey Sterling, the people of this nation and throughout Mother Earth are doomed!!!!
Derailing Amtrak: Tracking the Latest Disaster in the Infrastructure Crisis
by Ellen Brown
The dangerous underfunding of US infrastructure was underscored by a fatal train derailment on May 12th. The tragedy did not deter the House Appropriations Committee from voting to slash Amtrak funding the very next day. There are ways Congress could fund its massive infrastructure bill without raising taxes. But the conservative-controlled Congress seems to have other plans for the nation’s profitable public assets.
The May 12th train derailment near Philadelphia, which killed eight people and hospitalized 200, was the deadliest Amtrak accident in recent history. The train barreled around a dangerous bend at 106 mph, more than double the 50 mph speed limit for the curve.
Declassified DIA Documents Can Bring Down Obama Now
LaRouche PAC
U.S. Embassy at Benghazi, Libya, night of September 11, 2012.
Newly released “Secret” Defense Intelligence Agency documents from 2012 prove that President Obama knew that the September 11, 2012 attack on the US mission in Benghazi, Libya, which resulted in the murders of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other American officials, was a premeditated attack by a local Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood affiliate. The DIA document, dated September 12, 2012—just hours after the deadly attack—circulated widely among American national security officials, including to the White House, and showed, conclusively, that the assault on the US diplomatic compound and CIA annex was known to have been an Al Qaeda operation.
As the result of the May 18 release of that DIA document and over 100 pages of Defense Department and State Department “Secret” documents, the evidence is now conclusive: President Barack Obama willfully lied to the American people and to the US Congress, to cover up the fact that the United States had been attacked by an Al Qaeda organization that the President had claimed was defeated, as a key feature of the presidential re-election campaign.
Freedom Flotilla III Headed for Gaza
by Stephen Lendman
Gaza remains illegally blockaded despite Israel's pledge to ease it. Large parts of the Strip lie in ruins - almost nine months since last summer's war of aggression ended.
Funds pledged for reconstruction weren't forthcoming. Israel maintains total control over what's allowed in or out.
Humanitarian crisis conditions are longstanding - greatly exacerbated by wars at Israel's discretion.
Living conditions are deplorable. Most Gazans have no electricity 18 or more hours daily. Half a million residents have no running water. Other basic services are woefully inadequate.
Almost half the population is unemployed, including nearly 70% of youths. Around 80% rely on desperately needed humanitarian aid.
Obama Gave Up on Ukraine, Press Simply Ignored It
Eric Zuesse
On Tuesday, May 12th, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was asked at a press conference in Sochi Russia, to respond to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko’s recent statements promising renewed war against Donbass, which were made first on April 30th, "The war will end when Ukraine regains Donbass and Crimea,” and which were repeated on May 11th, by his saying, “I have no doubt, we will free the [Donetsk] Airport, because it is our land.” In other words, Poroshenko had repeatedly made clear that he plans a third invasion of Donbass, and, ultimately, also to invade and retake Crimea. (The Western press, however, had not reported any of these threats that were being made by Poroshenko.)
Kerry responded:
