Israel Behind Egypt's Coup?

August 21st, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan blames Israel for ousting Morsi. It wouldn't surprise. He claims he has proof. More on that below.

He's the last one to point fingers. He rules repressively. He's more despot than democrat.

Civil and human rights abuses during his tenure are commonplace. Wealth and power interests alone matter. Popular needs go begging. Authoritarian neoliberalism defines policy. Police state violence targets dissenters. Thousands are arrested. Terrorism and other false charges follow. So do convictions. Victims face harsh imprisonment. For some it's longterm.

Police State Terror in Egypt

August 20th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

Proracted conflict continues. Reports suggest Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) plans to declare the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) a terrorist organization.

On August 19, Russia Today (RT) said Egypt's draft constitution may prohibit religious parties from engaging in political activities. Word is expected by Wednesday.

Interim President Adly Mansour created a ten-member commission. It includes six pro-government judges and four constitutional law professors. They're tasked with proposing constitutional amendments.

A second pro-regime committee comprised of 50 public figures will review proposed amendments. They have 60 days to decide they're ready for a national referendum.

Obama's War on Yemen

August 20th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

Iraq war rules of engagement (ROE) were explicit. They ordered killing every military-aged Iraqi on sight. Afghanistan policy is similar.

Drone wars reflect it. Baseless suspicion leaves innocent civilians vulnerable. Point and click death awaits them. There's no place to hide.

Obama's waging drone war on Yemen. He's done so throughout his tenure. It's largely under the radar. Hundreds have been indiscriminately killed. Media scoundrels virtually ignore it. Predator drones are instruments of state terror. They sanitize killing on the cheap. Remote warriors work far from battlefields. Studies show most targets are innocent civilians.

The Illusion of Israeli/Palestinian Peaceful Conflict Resolution

August 20th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

Peace talks are more pretense than real. They've been that way for decades. Initiatives were always stillborn. They reflect the greatest diplomatic scam of all time.

It's no different now. Peaceful conflict resolution's a convenient illusion. It's guaranteed. Chances for success are ZERO. Smart money knows but won't say.
Yehuda Bauer is Hebrew University Avraham Harman Institute of Contemporary Jewry Professor Emeritus. A previous article discussed him.

He's a holocaust scholar. He studied genocide for decades. He prioritizes ways to stop it. What does "Never again" mean, he asks? It's an "empty slogan." It belies the fact that holocausts repeat.

Not Too Big to Jail: Why Eliot Spitzer Is Wall Street’s Worst Nightmare

August 20th, 2013

by Ellen Brown

Before Eliot Spitzer’s infamous resignation as governor of New York in March 2008, he was one of our fiercest champions against Wall Street corruption, in a state that had some of the toughest legislation for controlling the banks. It may not be a coincidence that the revelation of his indiscretions with a high-priced call girl came less than a month after he published a bold editorial in the Washington Post titled “Predatory Lenders’ Partner in Crime: How the Bush Administration Stopped the States from Stepping in to Help Consumers.” The editorial exposed the collusion between the Treasury, the Federal Reserve and Wall Street in deregulating the banks in the guise of regulating them, by taking regulatory power away from the states. It was an issue of the federal government versus the states, with the Feds representing the banks and the states representing consumers.

Bradley Manning Addresses Sentencing Hearing

August 20th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

He's an American hero. He's no spy. He committed no crimes. He acted responsibly. He did the right thing. He deserves praise, not prosecution.

He exposed US war crimes. He fulfilled his legal obligation to do so. He's victimized unjustly. Police state injustice wants him imprisoned longterm. Systemic unfairness defines US policy.

Manning was convicted on 20 of 22 charges. They include six espionage counts. He potentially faces 90 years imprisonment. On August 14, he addressed his sentencing hearing. More on that below.

Mubarakism 2.0

August 19th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

February 11, 2011 marked the end of Mubarak's 30-year dictatorship. July 3, 2013 reflects its reincarnation.

Iron fist junta power's reinstated. Perhaps it'll be worse than before. For sure it is now. Violence continues daily. Many hundreds, perhaps thousands, died. Countless numbers were injured and arrested.

State terror targets Morsi supporters. Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) generals demand things their way. Human lives are a small price to pay for power. Tyranny defines today's Egypt. It's always been that way. It's worse than ever now.

Al Jazeera America Set to Debut

August 19th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

On November 1, 1996, Al Jazeera began operating. It's headquartered in Doha. It's owned and operated by Qatar's monarchy.

Chairman Hamad bin Thamer Al Thani's a distant cousin of Qatari Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.

Al Jazeera News channel (JNC) is indistinguishable from other scoundrel media. It long ago fell from grace.

It abandoned professionalism and objectivity. Its programming lacks credibility. It features largely pro-Western propaganda.Wadah Khanfar served earlier as managing director. His pro-Western support got JNC staff to leave. They refused to report managed news.

Egypt: from Anarchy to Insanity Needs Global Intervention

August 19th, 2013

Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD.

Egyptian military junta, historically hated and feared appears to have gained the upper hand in cold blooded massacres of the innocent civilians demonstrating against the perpetuated military brutality - a challenge to global human conscience that must be challenged with intervention to bring to immediate halt. After one year of political optimism and emerging hope for peaceful transformation of the anarchy-infested institutions, under elected President Morsi, Egyptian was moving towards a rational path of democratic change and development. Out of nowhere, Egyptian Generals seem to have gone paranoid and more of incoming signal from the US Government that evolving democracy was not befitting to the American policies and practices in the Arab Middle East. President Obama and others of the military-industrial complex in Washington view continuing conflicts and social-economic and political disruptions as necessary to their short and long terms aims of the foreign policy in the Arab world.

Egypt's Bloody Friday

August 18th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

Egypt's bloody crackdown continues. On Friday, scores more died. Some estimates say close to 200. More on that below.

On August 16, the Muslim Brotherhood's Ikhwanweb headlined "Statement: Friday of Rage," saying:

"Despite our deep pain and sorrow following the August 14 Rabaa massacre and others committed since the bloody coup, the crimes of the coup regime have only increased our steadfastness and firmness in rejecting it and determination to remove it.""The struggle to overthrow this illegitimate regime is an obligation, an Islamic, national, moral, and human obligation which we will not steer away from until justice and freedom prevail, and until repression is conquered."
