The Fall of the Berlin Wall and the Multiplication of Western Walls
James Petras
Introduction
On November 9, 2014, Germany and its Western Allies, celebrated the ‘Fall of the Berlin Wall’ and the subsequent‘re-unification’of the ‘two Germanys’. Prime Minister Merkel described the ‘historic event’ as a “victory of freedom for all peoples in Europe and across the world.” The entire Western media and officialdom echoed Merkel’s rhetoric, as 300,000 Germans gathered at the Brandenburg Gate hailed their leader as she spoke of ‘one people, one nation and one state in freedom, peace and prosperity...’ But Merkel’s discourse is a self-serving chauvinist fabrication which distorts the real consequences of a united Germany. Moreover, the Western celebration of ‘fallen walls’ is very selective.
The notion that Germany was ‘unified’ democratically is of dubious historical accuracy. The consequences of a powerful unified Germany have not led to a peaceful prosperous Europe and Germany’s current role in world politics, particularly its policies toward the Middle East, North Africa and the Ukraine, has been anything but peaceful.
Dueling Ideologies: Russia v. America
by Stephen Lendman
Both countries are geopolitical opposites. Russia supports peace and stability. Rule of law principles. Inviolable nation-state sovereignty.
Intervention against other nations is longstanding US policy. Despite international law prohibiting it.
America deplores peace and stability. Wages permanent wars of aggression. Against one nation after another.
Has the most appalling human rights record in world history.
Including genocidal mass slaughter and destruction.
War and Peace: Western Leaders Terrorizing the Mankind
Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD.
A “war of religion” is unfolding, with a view to justifying a global military crusade. In the inner consciousness of many Americans, the “holy crusade” against Muslims is justified. While President Obama may uphold freedom of religion, the US inquisitorial social order has institutionalized patterns of discrimination, prejudice and xenophobia directed against Muslims.” - (Michel Chossudovsky, “America's Holy Crusade against the Muslim World.” Global Research: 8/30/2010).
American War Agenda and Killing of Humanity
To the US bankrupt economy, war is a good business. All wars kill human beings. Across the Iraq and Syrian war theatres, aerial bombing and shelling are destroying the human habitats and the ecological systems. Millions of Arabs have been displaced and murdered by the US-led military interventions. The panicky acts of belligerency represent a sadistic foreign policy towards the Arab world. The US war agenda aims at killing of the Arabs not taking preventive measures to stop the ISIS advances or using diplomacy to pursue peace talks.
The View that Putin’s Advisor Has on Obama’s Ukrainian War
Eric Zuesse
U.S. President Barack Obama’s operation (click on this for the documentation) to exterminate pro-Russian voters in Ukraine, was discussed back in July by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s chief foreign affairs advisor, Sergei Glazyev, in an interview by Alyona Berezovskaya, of this website
http://en.ukraina.ru/editor/20140717/1010844100.html
U.S. news-media have not been reporting about the U.S.’s hiring nazi (otherwise known as racist-fascist) Ukrainian politicians, and nazi mercenaries, in order to eliminate the residents in Ukraine’s southeast, where the people had in 2010 voted at around 90% for the very same man whom the Obama Administration overthrew in a violent Kiev coup on February 22nd of this year.
Politicized Persecution in America
by Stephen Lendman
Justice is a four-letter word. Thousands of political prisoners languish in America's gulag.
The world's largest by far. One of its harshest. Most unfair. Political activism risks arrest.
Dissent is an endangered species. Anyone can be targeted for any reason. Challenging business as usual risks politicized persecution.
Foreign nationals of countries America targets are vulnerable. Judicial unfairness is standard practice.
So is guilt by accusation. The so-called land of the free isn't fair. It never was. For sure not now.
Putin: Sanctions Violate International Law
by Stephen Lendman
US-imposed sanctions are illegitimate by any standard. EU countries are pressured to impose their own. Harming their own self-interest.
Other countries are bullied to comply. Threatened with reprisals or worse.
Heavy-handed strong-arming is longstanding US policy. America's 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) is way over-the-top. No legitimate society would tolerate it.
Letting presidents claim unusual, extraordinary, or non-existent foreign threats. Declare national security priorities. At times a national emergency. Regulate commerce accordingly.
Take full advantage against sovereign independent states. Iran, Syria, China and Russia among others.
Justifiable Rage in Palestine
by Stephen Lendman
Ruthless Israeli persecution is longstanding. Palestinian rights don't matter. Treated like subhumans.
Ignored by Western leaders. Supporting Israeli high crimes against peace. Genocidal slaughter. Barbarism writ large.
Taking so much before reacting. Erupting. Largely nonviolently. Stone-throwing is largely symbolic.
Palestinian children young as five are systematically abused. Israel is a UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) signatory.
Brazenly violating its principles. Subjecting young children to torture. Other cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment.
Depriving them of liberty lawlessly. Arbitrarily. Trying them in military tribunals. The only nation doing so.
Jet Fighter in Malaysian Airlines MH17 Flight Path Just Before Crash
"Going by the intelligence available, it is my opinion that a shooting down by a surface to air missile remains the most likely scenario. But we are not closing our eyes to the possibility that things might have happened differently." Fred Westerbeke, head of criminal investigation into MH17 crash, SpiegelOnline, Oct 27
New analysis indicates that one, possibly two jet aircraft were near Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 just before the plane was shot from the sky killing 298 passengers and crew. This bolsters the theory that a jet fighter was responsible for bringing down the aircraft shifting the likely focus to the United States backed Ukraine government.

The new analysis was reported by RT today. Sergey Melnichenko, CEO of Aviation Safety Consultancy and Analysis Agency, released findings based on data from the Rostov, Russia radar station near the Ukraine border. The data tracking radar covered a period before and after the crash.
Psycho Killer
From: Timothy Gatto
If you are squeamish, I wouldn't read this article. This isn't a treatise on how wonderful life is and how we can change the World. The facts are, we can't change anything. Change may come, but it might not be the change you long for. I believe this nation, along with the rest of the World is in a tailspin with psychopaths running the show.
As far as I'm concerned, you might as well sit back and enjoy the ride. In my case, I have pulled the plug on the mainstream media. I'm sick of their propaganda and fear mongering. The talking heads on the networks are completely out of their minds. The drivel that they get from politicians that they pass off as interviews make me want to vomit. They listen to lies and spin and never confront these full-blown psychopaths. If that passes for "news" I have had enough.
Kiev Plans Escalated Aggression
by Stephen Lendman
Fascist regimes operate this way. Kiev deplores peace. Democracy in any form. Fundamental rule of law principles.
Breached unaccountably. Over and over again. Operating with full US-led NATO support and encouragement.
Western supplied weapons and munitions. Soviet era stockpiles.
Making a bad situation worse.
Pouring gasoline on a raging inferno. Assuring protracted conflict. Lying about pursuing peace.
In mid-September, Ukraine's Defense Minister Valery Heletey said:
"We reached agreements in closed talks, without media, about…weapons that we currently need."
