Selling the Syrian Airstrikes
by WILLIAM C. LEWIS
The U.S. war establishment is using the ISIS propaganda scare to police the world and continuously subject resistant nations to their global NATO imperial plans through massive aerial bombardment violence that is already murdering people not taking part in hostilities.
It’s not just the ISIS group that is an instrument to launch further wars for empire, either. There are new groups and endless enemies that the Washington war cabal is now naming, including the Khorasan group.
The U.S. war criminals dropped as many bombs on Syria in one night on September 23 than the entire span of recent bombings/170 plus death dealing airstrikes on Iraq in the name of waging war against ISIL, which is really a campaign designed to further destroy the Iraqi nation to control its petroleum . In Syria, U.S. NATO imperialists bombed 50 targets in Raqqa, Deir al-Zor and Hasakah provinces and also conducted airstrikes in Alleppo.
Scoundrel Media Reactions to Obama's Syrian Aggression
by Stephen Lendman
Previous articles explained when America goes to war of plans one, media scoundrels march in lockstep.
They justify the unjustifiable. They defend the indefensible. Big Lies proliferate. Truth is verboten. It's systematically buried. It's turned on its head.
Rule of law principles don't matter. Supporting might over right takes precedence.
Benefitting powerful monied interests matters most of all. So does advancing America's imperium.
MSM media reports, commentaries and editorials support what demands condemnation. It's longstanding major media policy.
The Truth About The Ukrainian Crisis That Holds True For Any Crisis
Roman Marshanski
I refuse to take sides in this conflict. I believe both sides are liars. When I say "both sides", I mean West and Russia. I refuse to include Ukraine in this equation. I will explain why.
Ukraine cannot sustain itself without external support. So whoever gets to support it gets to control it. Therefore, regardless of who wins in Ukraine, this country is not going to be a truly independent nation in the foreseeable future. It's policies will depend either on West or Russia for a long time to come.
You may have recoiled when I called both sides liars. I understand why. But I also understand why you should not. If you don't like my explanation, I would still respect your dislike though. Perhaps your dislike is a well-masked sign of approval.
Big Lies Launch Lawless Wars
by Stephen Lendman
Obama's Iraq war III is lawless. It has no legal authority. It constitutes cold, calculated, premeditated naked aggression.
The same holds for his three-and-a-half year proxy war on Syria. It was planned long before March 2011 hostilities began. It's now elevated to direct US intervention.
On Tuesday, US warplanes bombed multiple Syrian targets. Precise ones aren't clear. Multiple civilian deaths followed. At least three children died. Civilians suffer most in all wars.
US and Israeli ones target them willfully. They're considered legitimate targets. They're murdered in cold blood.
Israel Part of US Anti-Syrian Coalition
by Stephen Lendman
It's unannounced. It's no secret. Israel is heavily involved. It's been so all along. It wants Assad ousted.
It bombs Syrian targets at its discretion. It supplies weapons to Islamic State terrorists and other extremist Takfiri fighters.
It treats their wounded in Israeli hospitals. It supplies other support overtly and covertly.
On Tuesday, Israel confirmed it shot down a Syrian Sukhoi 24 fighter jet aircraft. It used a surface-to-air missile against it.
It said it "infiltrated into Israeli airspace." It's unclear if Israel's claim is true. Crew members ejected.
They landed safely in Syrian territory. Reports indicate aircraft remains fell into Mediterranean Sea waters.
Syria was bombing areas around Quneitra. It's near Israeli-controlled Golan.
Reactions to Obama's Naked Aggression Against Syria
by Stephen Lendman
On Tuesday, Obama attacked another country lawlessly. Syria poses no threat to America.
Obama bombed multiple sites. He did so with no legal authority. He committed lawless aggression.
He's done it repeatedly throughout his tenure. It's the highest of high crimes against peace.
He violated international, constitutional and US statute laws. The 1996 US War Crimes Act calls them "grave breaches."
Obama's wars are Nuremberg-level crimes. They demand accountability. Expect none forthcoming.
His so-called coalition allies include a rogue's gallery of despotic regimes. He said he's "proud" to be allied with them.
Obama Launches Naked Aggression on Syria
by Stephen Lendman
It's no surprise. His intentions were clear for weeks. Naked aggression is longstanding US policy.
In his September 10 address, he said Washington was prepared to "conduct a systematic campaign of airstrikes (against Islamic State terrorists) wherever they are."
"That means I will not hesitate to take action against ISIL in Syria as well as Iraq."
Last week, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said US Central Command has a plan to take "targeted actions against ISIS safe havens in Syria."
Dueling Ideologies: Lavrov v. Rasmussen
by Stephen Lendman
They're polar opposites. They represent good v. evil. They do so at the most perilous time in world history. When global war is possible.
Rasmussen is a convenient US stooge. He heads NATO's killing machine.
He steps down end of September. He won't be missed. He violates inviolable national sovereignty rights. He spurns rule of law principles.
On September 15, Wall Street Journal editors featured his shameless op-ed. More on this below.
Headlines in the World’s Only Great Newspaper: Starting This Past Weekend, Till Today
Eric Zuesse
Where can one go in order to find honestly reported news in the English language? I have long searched to find the answer to that question; and here is what I have discovered.
Newspapers and other 'news' media in the U.S. and throughout the world are so unreliable that I have long been searching in vain at www.onlinenewspapers.com/ to see even just one English-language newspaper about national and international affairs that is honest -- meaning, to me, reliable in truthfulness, and reporting all events that seem to me to be historically important, in order for anyone to be able to understand where the world is actually trending, and how it’s trending the way it is.
Then, I finally discovered one such newspaper, except that it's not in the English language; it's in German, but it can be read in English via the automatic translation feature in google chrome. So, I now introduce it to you here below, for your consideration to become your major news source, as it now will be mine.
China is exporting torture
Mary Shaw
Research by Amnesty International (AI) and the Omega Research Foundation has uncovered a "flourishing trade" in the "export of tools of torture by Chinese companies" which is fueling human rights violations worldwide.
A new report, titled China's Trade in Tools of Torture and Repression, alleges that more than 130 Chinese companies are currently involved in the "production and trade of potentially dangerous law enforcement equipment."
According to AI, "Some of the devices openly marketed by these companies - including electric shock stun batons, metal spiked batons, and weighted leg cuffs - are intrinsically cruel and inhumane and therefore should immediately be banned. Other equipment - that can have legitimate use in policing - such as tear gas and plastic projectiles or riot control vehicles - is being exported from China even when there is a substantial risk of serious human rights violations by the receiving law enforcement agencies."
