More US Special Forces Heading to Support ISIS in Iraq and Syria
by Stephen Lendman
Washington’s war on terror is a complete fabrication - throughout the Middle East and elsewhere, supporting ISIS and other terrorist groups, not combating them as falsely claimed.
On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter announced more US special forces heading for Iraq on top of thousands already there, as well as increased numbers for Syria - part of Washington’s regional aggression, advancing its imperium at the expense of world peace and stability.
Carter claiming US combat troops will aid Iraqi and Kurdish peshmerga forces against ISIS is a Big Lie. Direct US military involvement in Iraq and Syria escalates ongoing conflicts, instigated by Washington in the first place, intending to make matters worse.
An Open Letter to Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton, the Minnesota EPA, the PCA, the DNR and Every Thinking Minnesota Citizen: PolyMet and the Rest of the Copper/Nickel Mining Industry are Lying to Us About the Safety of its Proposed Operations in NE Minnes
By Gary G. Kohls, MD
Attention: Governor Dayton (and your staff):
Knowing your innate sense of fairness and your sincere desire to do the right thing for the people of Minnesota, please take a few minutes (disregarding all the corporate lobbyists that are bugging you 24/7) and read the following items. Be sure to view a couple of the short videos.
It has been slightly over a year since North America’s worst mining waste disaster occurred at Mount Polley, British Columbia.
It was on August 4, 2014 that the Imperial Metals mine had its massive tailings dam burst, polluting aquifers, many streams and lakes and ultimately the migratory Sockeye salmon-bearing Fraser River, the longest river in British Columbia. The Fraser flows for 854 miles emptying into the Georgia Strait and the Pacific Ocean at the city of Vancouver.
Typical for such catastrophic mining industry failures, the Harper government of Canada tried to cover up the disaster and most of us on either side of the border were made unaware of the event. Thus, this disaster was censored out of both Canadian and American consciousness by a co-opted media that utterly failed to adequately report on it.
Russian Intelligence Proves Turkey Selling Stolen Syrian and Iraqi Oil for ISIS
by Stephen Lendman
Rogue state Turkey headed by international outlaw Erdogan is a close US ally - both nations partnering in endless regional wars, their provocative actions risking direct confrontation with Russia.
In Paris at the climate conference, Putin minced no words, saying “(w)e have recently received additional reports that confirm that (stolen) oil from ISIL-controlled territories is delivered to the territory of Turkey on an industrial scale.”
“We have all grounds to suspect that the decision to down our plane was motivated by the intention to secure these routes of delivering oil to ports where it is loaded on tankers. Defending Turkmen is just a pretext” - terrorists allied with Ankara.
NYT Fairy Tale about Paris Attacks
by Stephen Lendman
The NYT is America’s longstanding leading voice for wealth, power and privilege exclusively - state-supportive propaganda its specialty, the most important news “fit to print” systematically suppressed.
Evidence indicates attacking Paris on November 13 was a false flag, a strategically planned military operation for events now unfolding, almost certain state-sponsored horrors to come, much like post-9/11 - the mother of all false flags, US dirty fingerprints all over what happened. A previous article discussing the Paris incident said how could a handful of heavily armed terrorists outwit French (as well as perhaps EU and US) intelligence - successfully executing attacks on multiple sites with military precision during the height of Friday evening activities, unnoticed until they started shooting, especially when at least some of them were known to state authorities and almost certainly were kept under close surveillance.
NYT Ignores US Support for ISIS
by Stephen Lendman
In an article discussing ISIS’ revenue sources, The Times reported nothing about Washington’s involvement in creating the terror group, arming, funding, training and directing its fighters, as well as facilitating its revenue producing sources, largely from stolen Syrian and Iraqi oil - typical of how the self-styled “newspaper of record” deceives and betrays its readers.
ISIS “wrings every last American dollar, Iraqi dinar and Syrian pound it can from those who live under its control or pass through its territory,” said The Times.
Interviews with individuals aware of its operations “describe the group as exacting tolls and traffic tickets; rent for government buildings; utility bills for water and electricity; taxes on income, crops and cattle; and fines for smoking or wearing the wrong clothes.”
It derives revenues from “smuggling oil, plundering bank vaults, looting antiquities, ransoming kidnapped foreigners and drumming up donations from wealthy supporters in the Persian Gulf…”
Stolen Iraqi and Syrian oil provide its main revenue source. The Times claims it’s from “the people it rules and the businesses it controls.”
It lied saying Washington now “more aggressively target(s) (its) oil production and smuggling operations” in the wake of the November 13 Paris false flag - ludicrously claiming it “held off (earlier) for fear of inflicting long-term damage to the Iraqi and Syrian economies.”
Will Muhammad Abu Khdeir’s Convicted Israeli Killers Get Off Scot-Free?
Stephen Lendman
On July 2, 2014, Khdeir was kidnapped, forcefully taken to the Jerusalem Forest, brutally beaten and burned alive by his three Israeli abductors. An autopsy confirmed death by immolation - indicating burned soot inhaled into his respiratory tract and lungs while still alive. He experienced excruciating pain while dying.
On Monday, a Jerusalem district court convicted three Israelis for his murder - two minors and an adult, Yosef Ben David, the ringleader. His conviction was suspended after a psychiatric evaluation claimed he wasn’t mentally competent at the time of the killing - despite clear evidence he knew what he was doing, plenty to convict him of cold-blooded murder. Both minors are scheduled to be sentenced in January. Will judicial leniency follow - perhaps letting them off scot-free despite long prison terms this type atrocity warrants?
Zionist Power: Swindlers and Impunity, Traitors and Pardons
James Petras
We work so hard to establish ourselves and to get where we are and to have somebody (Jonathan Pollard) screw it up…and then have Jewish organizations line up behind this guy and try to make him out a hero of the Jewish people, it bothers the hell out of me…’ Admiral Sumner Shapiro, US Navy Rear Admiral who served as Director of the Office of Naval Intelligence (1978-82) Washington Post 6/16/2008
“We … feel obligated to go on record with the facts regarding Pollard in order to dispel the myths that have arisen from the clever public relations campaign…aiming at transforming Pollard from greedy, arrogant betrayer of the American national trust into Pollard committed Israeli patriot” Sumner Shapiro, William Studeman, John Butts and Thomas Brooks, former Directors of Naval Intelligence cited in Ronald Olive, Capturing Jonathan Pollard: How one of the Most Notorious Spies in American History Was Brought to Justice, Annapolis Maryland: Naval Institute Press . 248.
Introduction
Over two decades ago, Harvard political science professor, Samuel Huntington, argued that global politics would be defined by a ‘clash of civilizations’. His theories have found some of the most aggressive advocates among militant Zionists, inside Israel and abroad.
Turkey Refines and Sells Stolen Syrian and Iraqi Oil for ISIS
by Stephen Lendman
Erdogan is an international outlaw, allied with America’s rogue imperial enterprise, waging endless wars of aggression, responsible for millions of deaths, vast destruction and a human refugee flood desperate to find safe havens.
He’s supporting ISIS, US proxy foot soldiers in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere, directly involved in their oil smuggling, refining and sales worth hundreds of millions of dollars on the black market.
America and other Western nations are well aware of what’s going on, doing nothing to stop it, aiding it by inaction and/or direct support - Russia alone intervening responsibly by bombing ISIS’ truck pipeline, transporting oil along with its facilities in Syria, aiming to destroy its operations entirely.
Mowaffak al Rubaie is a former Iraqi Governing Council member/national security advisor. Interviewed by RT International, he explained “(i)n the last eight months (alone), ISIS (sold) $800 million dollars worth of (stolen) oil on the black market of Turkey.”
Open Season on Murdering Palestinians with Impunity
by Stephen Lendman
Since October 1, the death toll tops 100 defenseless Palestinian civilians murdered by Israeli forces unaccountably.
Rogue states operate this way, disturbingly against young children, over two dozen killed, hundreds injured or arrested. B’Tselem accused Israel of cold-blooded murder.
Its letter to Netanyahu demanded an end to the ongoing carnage, including “horrific…summary street executions.” Executive director Hagai El-Ad accused him of “permit(ting) - and encourag(ing) the transformation of police officers, and even of armed civilians, into judges and executioners.”
We Leave The Dirty Job To The Turks
By Gilad Atzmon
It is far from being a secret that the EU doesn’t posses the political, legal, material and cultural means to counter the refugee crisis. But our European leaders didn’t give up, they have now found an ideal solution -- they bought their way out. A global crisis that that was instigated by a chain of Zio-con immoral interventionist wars is just about to be ‘resolved.’
The EU will pay €3 billion to the Turks to handle the refugee situation. In return, Turkish citizens (may) be able to travel without visas in Europe's Schengen zone. As we know, many of those who flee Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan make their way to Europe through Turkey. The EU message to turkey is simple -- you can do what ever you like with these refugees, just make sure that you don’t send them to us.
