Introduction


JAIRO MARTINEZ AND ROMAN RUIZ

On May 21, 2015, the Colombian Air Force (FAC) bombed the base camp of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) killing 26 guerrillas. Three days later the FAC bombed other FARC bases killing 14 more guerrillas. This was part of an official offensive, launched by President Juan Manuel Santos, the US’s most loyal client in Latin America. Among the victims were FARC Commanders Jairo Martinez, a participant in the ongoing peace negotiations in Havana and Roman Ruiz.

Gilad Atzmon explains the subversion of the pro-Palestine cause by the Jewish left

June 6th, 2015

By John Friend

Editor's note: Gilad Atzmon, an internationally renowned musician, philosopher, and writer born in Israel, is currently on a speaking tour to promote his latest book entitled A to Zion: The Definitive Israeli Lexicon, as well as address the Jewish subversion of the pro-Palestinian movement. On Monday, May 11th, Atzmon spoke at a public library in San Diego County, an event I was able to attend. We had a nice conversation and I was able to ask him a question following his presentation.

What follows is a Q&A I conducted with Atzmon via email shortly after his speech in San Diego. I hope to continue this dialogue in the near future. There are many more questions I'd like to ask him.

US-Dominated NATO Myths v. Russian Hard Truths

June 6th, 2015

by Stephen Lendman

In late May, NATO published a propaganda report based on tired old Big Lies. It claimed a nonexistent "illegal (Russian) military intervention in Ukraine" despite no evidence whatever suggesting it - plenty debunking it.

It discussed a menu of what it called myths about NATO/Russian relations-willful Big Lies including denying:

● NATO threatens Russia;

● encroachment on its borders by systematically encircling its territory with hostile bases and conducting provocative military exercises;

● wanting Russia marginalized, contained, isolated, destabilized, weakened, its government replaced by a pro-Western one, and balkanized for easier exploitation and control;

● braking its pledge not to expand east;

● wanting all former Russian republics and Warsaw Pact countries included in its Alliance;

● it's so-called missile defense is for offense targeting Russia and other independent countries;

● it wages one direct or proxy war of aggression after another;

● planning expanding to a global military alliance - threatening humanity more than already

NATO claims these hard facts are myths. In mid-May, Russia set the record straight - debunking NATO Big Lies, explaining hard truths.

Kiev Renounces Minsk Ceasefire

June 5th, 2015

by Stephen Lendman

Minsk is dead. Kiev forces commit dozens of daily ceasefire violations. It breached virtually all agreed on terms - in most cases straightaway.

In the last 24 hours alone, it committed 58 violations. The People's Republic of Donetsk's (DPR) Defense Ministry said "shelling include(d) use of heavy weapons." Kiev forces used artillery, tanks and mortars.

Areas targeted included Donetsk, its airport (already turned to rubble) and coal mines, Gorlovka and Dokuchayevsk, as well as the following settlements:

Kurganka, Veseloye, Shirokino, Lozovoye, Spartak, Novaya Maryevka, Zheleznaya Balka, Yelenovka, Signalnoye and Sakhanka

On Thursday, Sergey Lavrov said Minsk is "under the constant threat of failure due to the actions of Kiev authorities who are trying not to comply with commitments on establishing a direct dialogue with Donbas."

UK National Union of Students Joins BDS

June 5th, 2015

by Stephen Lendman

NUS calls itself "a voluntary…confederation of 600 students' unions (including) more than 95 percent of all higher and further education unions in the UK."

It "represents the interests of more than seven million students. (It) fight(s) discrimination, isolation and injustice."

It wants seven million "student voices" to make a difference. On Tuesday, its executive council passed a Solidarity with Palestine motion to boycott Israeli goods because of its egregious violations of Palestinian human rights.

The motion allies NUS with the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign. It called on Britain's government to stop selling arms to Israel.

NUS adopted earlier supportive Palestinian positions. During Israel's summer 2014 Gaza aggression, it called for a UK arms embargo.

Venezuela Plans to Double Oil Production

June 5th, 2015

by Stephen Lendman

Venezuela has the world's largest proved oil reserves - and vast amounts more not officially recognized, mainly its Orinoco basin heavy oil.

It's why Washington wants regime change. It wants control over its vast treasure. It wants Venezuelans denied the vital benefits oil revenues provide.

In late May, Telesur reported on Venezuelan oil production "set to boom due to a massive ($14 billion) deal struck with Russia's Rosneft" - its leading extraction and refinement company.

It mostly involves Orinoco basin development in Venezuela's northeast believed to hold around 235 billion barrels of recoverable oil.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced the deal following a meeting with state-owned oil company PDVSA president Eulogio de Pino and Rosneft chief executive Igor Sechin, saying:

"We had a tremendous meeting, and agreed to investments for over $14 billion to double oil production in the coming years."

Kiev Wants Foreign Troops Aiding Its War on Donbass

June 5th, 2015

by Stephen Lendman

Kiev's junta is an illegitimate US-installed putschist regime infested with extremist Nazi lunatics.

Last April, it launched naked aggression on Donbass - with full US support and encouragement.

Dirty war without mercy continues. Kiev systematically breached three ceasefire agreements unilaterally.

It blames victims for its high crimes. It's murdered thousands of Donbass noncombatant men, women and children. It deliberately targets them.

Western leaders able to intervene responsibly turn a blind eye to its worst atrocities. In March, Ukraine's parliament passed legislation calling for international peacekeepers (foreign troops from countries it OKs) deployed in Donbass - to aid its lawless aggression.

FBI Misuse of Patriot Act Authority

June 4th, 2015

by Stephen Lendman

America is a police state. The FBI is the nation's Gestapo. It's abuse of power and misconduct are longstanding.

It's an instrument for systematically violating civil liberties. It's a rogue agency operating unconstitutionally.

Bureau secrecy and cover-up make it impossible to know the full extent of its lawlessness. It operates with minimal oversight and accountability.

A new Justice Department Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report titled "A Review of the FBI's Use of Section 215 Orders: Assessment of Progress in Implementing Recommendations and Examination of Use in 2007 - through 2009."

Section 215 of the Patriot Act tramples on Bill of Rights protections. Its language is vague and deceptive. It's used to permit unconstitutional meta-data mining. It allows police state investigatory practices. It authorizes government access to "any tangible item" - including personal financial records and transactions, medical records, phone conversations, emails, other Internet use and whatever else Washington wants to monitor.

Confidential Document: Soros’s Plan for Ukraine

June 4th, 2015

Eric Zuesse

A hacked document from the Ukrainian Government, in which George Soros, on 12 March 2015 (a month after the Hollande-Merkel Minsk II ceasefire agreement had been signed), advised Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko how to re-arm and resume the war against the Donbass region in Ukraine’s far east. (According to a Russian television report dated 14 April 2011
, Soros had been financing the political careers of the people who have now become the leading politicians in Ukraine, since at least 2008.)

The newly revealed document (hacked by “Cyber Berkut,” a reliable source) opened by acknowledging that Ukraine’s military had been twice defeated in their attempt to restore that region to Ukraine’s control (here was the first defeat; and here was the second), and that, both times when a ceasefire was established, it “recognized the facts on the ground” instead of requiring Donbass forces to move back to the earlier war-front demarcation lines. (And here was the final result.)
