Risking Global War
by Stephen Lendman
Tyranny and permanent wars define Obama's agenda. Since taking office, he exceeded the worst of George Bush.
Much more ahead is coming. Ravaging humanity is policy. Foreign nations and America's homeland are targeted. Rule of law principles are ignored. Unchallenged dominance alone matters.
Plans are to crush dissent and replace independent regimes with puppet ones. Subservience to Washington is demanded. Obama enforces these policies ruthlessly. Outliers aren't tolerated. Removing internal opposition and destroying one country after another are planned. Occupy Wall Street is targeted for elimination. Syria tops the queue abroad. Blame game strategy wrongfully accuses Assad for Western crimes.
Potential global war looms. Policymakers are mindless. So are supportive media scoundrels. More on them below.
PermalinkBaghdadi Mahmoudi Faces Torture and Death in Libya
by Stephen Lendman
Mahmoudi is a physician. He also served as Deputy Prime Minister before becoming Prime Minister and General Secretary of the General People's Congress of the Libyan Jamahiriya. He assumed that post in March 2006.
Mathaba explained that he wasn't Gaddafi's prime minister. He served as "legally elected head of the people's power in Libya, the People's Congresses, which Gaddafi as the leader of the revolution as an individual often held very different views from, but ultimately was the decision-maker for the people themselves."
Murder, Inc: Official Obama Policy
by Stephen Lendman
Obama's wars increase body counts daily. New ones planned will add more. Death squads operate in 120 or more countries. So do CIA agents licensed to kill.
US citizens may be targeted at home or abroad. No one anywhere is safe.
Summary judgment means no arrests. No Miranda rights. No due process. No trial. Just a bullet, bomb or slit throat. It's official Obama policy. Diktat authority affords justice to no one ordered killed.
On May 29, The New York Times upped the stakes. Its article headlined "Secret 'Kill List' Proves a Test of Obama's Principles and Will," saying:
Obama "placed himself at the helm of a top secret 'nominations' process to designate terrorists for kill or capture, of which the capture part has become largely theoretical."
In other words, he appointed himself judge, jury and executioner. Despot authority is official administration policy. Diktats decide who lives or dies.
Obama Prioritizes War
by Stephen Lendman
Colleagues say killing comes easy for Obama. So does his insatiable appetite for war. Duplicitous rhetoric hides it. Close advisors know better.
America is on a fast track toward attacking Syria. Humanitarian intervention hypocrisy justified war on Libya. Expect something similar used for Damascus.
On May 30, The New York Times headlined "For the White House, a Wary Wait as Syria Boils," saying:
Former Syrian ambassador Edward Djerejian said:
"You may come to the point where you have the Srebrenica syndrome."
Never mind that it was more myth than massacre.
"Once a (real or contrived) humanitarian disaster looms so large, the international community becomes forced to act despite the national security considerations and the more levelheaded thinking on the consequences of military action."
Silent killing
Khaled Amayreh in Nablus
Settler violence and cultural war against Palestinians continues under Israeli occupation.
For the second consecutive week, armed Jewish settlers attacked Palestinian villagers and torched their fields in the northern region of the West Bank as Israeli occupation troops were looking on passively.
According to international law, the safety and security of people under occupation is the responsibility of the occupying power. However, in most cases, Israeli army troops don't content themselves with watching settlers shoot and murder Palestinians and vandalise their property, they also collude in and coordinate terror against Palestinians.
