Paris Killings Aftermath: War on Civil Liberties
by Stephen Lendman
Civil liberties in America, Britain, France, and other Western societies are gravely threatened. Already seriously eroded.
Expect more assaults on fundamental freedoms ahead. Based on the usual canards.
Protecting national security. Defending free society rights. How by enacting police state laws against them?
According to a July 2010 ACLU report titled "Establishing a New Normal," Obama administration officials waged unprecedented war on civil liberties.
Continuing the worst Bush era practices. Adding more extreme ones. The ACLU discussed the following top 10 post-9/11 abuses of power:
Blowback is a Bitch
Timothy Gatto
In the last month I have totally detached myself from television news and media propaganda. My stress level has gone down to zero. I do however read alternate news sites and hear things from people that are involved in media propaganda. When I hear people talking I am astounded at the ignorance people have of history.
The incident in France, and the reaction to it, makes me believe I'm living in a movie script. It is amazing how the mass media can hype something and make people believe that they have been "victimized" by Muslims. I can imagine how it was in Europe when the Pope called for a crusade to take back the "Holy Land".
Soros and Yatsenyuk: Partners in Crime
by Stephen Lendman
Arseniy Yatsenyuk is Ukraine's illegitimate US-installed prime minister. Mocking the office he holds. More on him below.
George Soros is a world-class corporate predator. Making money the old-fashioned way.
Unconcerned about enormous harm he causes. Plundering nations for profit.
Once saying "(a)s a market participant, I don't need to be concerned with the consequences of my actions." Earning billions from rogue investing. Causing havoc worldwide. Anything for a buck, he believes.
Imperial wars benefit him greatly. So do plums like Ukraine. Low-hanging fruit. Ripe for plunder.
Spitting On Other People’s Prophets Is Not A Western Value
By Gilad Atzmon
In a BBC interview following the Charlie Hebdo Massacre, Jewish Chronicle writer David Aaronovitch advised those who do not approve of ‘freedom of speech’ to ‘move to Pakistan.’ It is not surprising to find a Zionist Jew advocating voluntary cleansing; after all, expulsion is a Jewish nationalist favourite adventure. Judging by Aaronovitch’s endorsement of elementary liberty, I am happy to announce that the appeal for freedom of expression is the immediate and very positive outcome of the disastrous events in Paris.

But I am not convinced that those protesters who call themselves ‘Charlie’ are genuinely advocating the notion of universal freedom. Are they willing to accept Muslim clerics exploring that freedom? And what about Dieudonne challenging the Holocaust religion? And if Israel defines itself as ‘the Jewish State,’ can we, once and for all, put Jewishness under scrutiny? Does Aaronivitch, himself an arch Neocon Zionist and prime advocate of the Iraq War, willing to accept that some may consider the Holocaust an historical chapter, not a religion? This would be a revolutionary shift because Aaronovitch has gone out of his way to silence any discussion of historical revisionism, Jewishness or the powerful Jewish lobby.
The Unfolding Revolution in Rojava - Interview with Özgür Amed Journalist and Researcher
By Dylan Murphy
The emergence of ISIS during the summer as a regional war lord in Iraq and Syria led to the usual media hysteria about the latest threat to our turbo-consumerist societies in the West. ISIS is going to take over the Middle East and then come to get us in our affluent homelands where freedom and democracy are under peril from the Islamist bogeyman.
Such simplistic nonsense echoes the media disinformation about ISIS and its ''irresistible'' expansion across the Middle East. The media puts on the same tired old record. The plight of the Kurds and other ethnic minorities in Northern Iraq and Northern Syria necessitates the ''humanitarian'' intervention of American imperialism and its puppet allies in Europe and the Gulf monarchies.
Never mind the fact that ISIS is a creation of American imperialism as are the other jihadist groups that have been trained and armed by those good friends of Western democracy in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Never mind that ISIS and all the other jihadist groups were created with the aim of overthrowing the Assad regime which is seen as the stepping stone on the road to regime change in Tehran. How dare the Islamic theocracy sit upon the fourth largest oil reserves in the world and not give the West a piece of the action.
Hypocrisy in Paris
by Stephen Lendman
Sunday headlines said huge crowds massed in Paris. Protected by "unparalleled" security, according to AP.
Including thousands of police and military forces. Along the two-mile Boulevarde Voltaire route marchers took.
An "unprecedented tribute," said Reuters. Showing "unity and defiance," claimed The New York Times. "(S)olidarity following three days of terrorist attacks that badly shook the nation," said the Washington Post.
"Paris displays defiance with huge rally," headlined the Wall Street Journal.
"Paris urged to 'come in numbers' to defy Islamist terror," said the Los Angeles Times.
London's Guardian said one million "expected for anti-terror rally."
Waging Phony War on Terror
by Stephen Lendman
Waging it isn't new. Enemies are needed. When none exist they're invented.
Reagan denounced the "evil scourge of terrorism." Specifically state-sponsored international terrorism. The "plague of the modern age," he said.
His Secretary of State George Schultz called it "modern barbarism. (A) form of political violence. (A) threat to Western civilization. (A) menace to Western moral values."
GW Bush declared war on terrorism. To "rid the world of evildoers. (N)ot let evil stand."
Orwell said political rhetoric defends the indefensible. So-called wars on terrorism are wars of terrorism. State-sponsored. Against designated individuals, groups or nations.
The late Howard Zinn asked "(h)ow can you make war on terrorism if war is terrorism." Governments are the greatest terrorist threats.
US Code defines terrorism as activities involving:
Paris Terror Attack: Unequivocal Warning To French President Hollande
President Hollande Expressed Strong Misgivings About The Sanction Regime Against Russia
France declares an end to the Russian sanctions just two days before the terror attacks
France, more than any other nation in the European Union (EU), has been coming under increasing criticism and scrutiny from both within and outside of the EU. The Anglo-Amercian power structure has always been quick to reign in any ‘cavalier’ demonstrations of French independence. President Charles de Gaulle’s resistance to NATO membership is a perfect example of this historical pattern, as were the several assassination attempts on his life and subsequent isolation of France over many years.
French banking giant BNP Paribas was just hit with an $8.9 billion U.S. fine
Fast forward to 2015 and the recent terrorist attacks on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper offices. This staged attack was clearly executed with deliberate intent to produce specific outcomes within the European Union. The desired results of those who fabricated this event are becoming more clear with each passing day. Certainly, French President François Hollande will be re-thinking his commitment to ending the sanctions against Russia that he had expressed just 2 days before the ‘terror event’ in Paris.
BBC News – France seeks end to Russia sanctions over Ukraine
With each passing terror attack, the first two questions which must be asked are who loses, and who gains.
Cui bono?
That’s obvious, especially whenever the terrorists (along with their names and addresses, Facebook pages and hashtags) have been identified before the attacks even take place. The Clash of Civilizations was predicted, and planned, with the penning of Freemason Albert Pike’s letter about three successive world wars planned for the 20th century. But this is the 21st century! What happened?
“The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”[1]
What happened is exactly what the world is experiencing throughout 2014 and now, 2015. That being extreme desperation on the part of the ruling cabal (aka the World Shadow Government) to start a World War III anyway they can.
Who really loses in the wake of these terror attacks on Charlie Hebdo?
Field Notes on Reality: Hard Truths Buried When Most Needed
by Stephen Lendman
Western societies are rife with hypocrisy. Imperial wars are called liberating ones. State-sponsored propaganda glorifies them in the name of peace.
Terrorism is what they do. Not us. Media scoundrels regurgitate official Big Lies ad nauseam. Burying hard truths when most needed.
Willfully deceiving readers and viewers. Supporting powerful monied interests. At the expense of ordinary people struggling to survive.
Growing numbers fighting a losing battle. Crushed by so-called Western civilization. Destroying humanity one country at a time.
Today's world is increasingly hostile. Mindless of vital people needs and welfare. Exploiting them for greater wealth, power and privilege.
Ukraine’s Creditors Grab for the Biggest Pieces of Its Carcass
Eric Zuesse
The lifelong Russia-enemy George Soros, and the Russian Government itself, are now openly fighting over which parts of the Ukrainian Government they’ll be getting in the bankruptcy proceeding that’s already unofficially starting.
Here’s the necessary background, so that the battle now occurring on the part of Ukraine’s creditors can be truthfully and honestly understood:
In December 2013 — just before the overthrow of the Russia-friendly Ukrainian Government of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, by Soros’s American President and major political-campaign investment, Barack Obama — Russia lent Ukraine $3 billion with a contract saying that if Ukraine’s debt would rise above 60% of Ukraine’s GDP, then Russia would be able to demand immediate repayment, and Ukraine agreed to the contract’s condition that Ukraine wouldn’t pay a cent to any other creditor before the entire due-balance on this $3 billion loan is returned to Russia.
