Hitler the Ultra Zionist
Gilad Atzmon
In a bizarre effort to paper over the historical truth regarding Hitler and the Haavara Agreement, Professor Rainer Schulze of Essex University wrote an article totally lacking intellectual integrity. Schulze’s piece in the Independent, ‘Hitler and Zionism: Why the Haavara Agreement does not mean the Nazis were Zionists’, demonstrates that fear of Zionists and their extensive power extends beyond the Labour party. It is deeply entrenched within the British psyche and institutionally embedded in academia. Schulze article leads him to the conclusion that: “any claim that Nazis and Zionists ever shared a common goal is not only cynical and disingenuous, but a distortion of clearly established historical fact.” The German/British professor’s failure to apply elementary academic analytical skills to the issue results in faulty scholarship.
Israel Indicts Vanunu
Stephen Lendman
Israel finds ways of giving the term rogue state new meaning - former nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu a victim of its viciousness.
He’s a heroic whistleblower - 30 years ago revealing Israel was and remains nuclear armed and dangerous.
He was kidnapped, beaten, drugged, secretly tried, and politically imprisoned for 18 years, mostly in harsh solitary confinement - for revealing what everyone has a right to know. Since release in 2004, he’s been constantly hounded and monitored, imprisoned without confinement, his fundamental freedoms denied, reimprisoned several times, virtually certain again after his latest indictment.
US-Supported Terrorist Atrocities in Syria
Stephen Lendman
They’re committed daily in various parts of Syria, especially in northern areas near Turkey’s border and suburban Damascus.
Scoundrel media headlines scream Russian and Syrian airstrikes continuing during (fantasy) cessation of hostilities and (farcical) peace talks - on life support, breathing hard, effectively dead.
The London-based, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, publishes regular pro-Western press releases, one-sided conflict reports.
It claimed daily Russian and government bombardment of Aleppo since April 22 killed 250 mostly civilians, ended ceasefire and caused peace talks to collapse.
Terrorists Washington and its rogue allies call “moderate rebels” are entirely responsible for civilian deaths, targeting residential areas and other nonmilitary sites, murdering noncombatant men, women and children in cold blood, at times with chemical and other banned weapons.
America Talks Peace While Waging Endless Wars
Stephen Lendman
Wars serve America’s imperial agenda. Peace and stability defeat it.
As long as neocons infesting Washington wants unchallenged global dominance, endless conflicts will continue - heading for a showdown with Russia and China, the unthinkable possibility of devastating nuclear war, assuring losers, not winners.
Washington uses ISIS and other terrorist groups it created to advance its imperium, a hugely dangerous phenomenon, US-sponsored death squads likely to show up anywhere.
Millions of extremists worldwide make willing recruits, for whatever benefits they believe makes it worth risking their lives. Addressing Security Council members on Friday on unstable, chaotic conditions in Iraq, Russia’s UN envoy Vitaly Churkin sounded the alarm, saying ISIS (and by implication similar groups) are “uncontrollably expanding…into Libya, Afghanistan and Europe.”
He stopped short of explaining America uses these groups as imperial foot soldiers. Millions of potential recruits are available worldwide.
Russia Commemorates Victory Day
Stephen Lendman
May 9 marks the 71st anniversary of what Russians call the Great Patriotic War - representing victory over Nazi Germany.
Commemorations honor millions of Russians killed defending the Motherland. Throughout the war, Soviet Russia, not America, was the indispensable nation.
Without its enormous contribution and sacrifices, Hitler might have won WW II. Reinvented Western history can’t change cold, hard, facts.
Victory Day is sacred in Russia, symbolizing heroism and unity against the scourge of fascism - defeated in WW II, resurgent today, headquartered in Washington with worldwide branch offices in London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Riyadh, Ankara, Tel Aviv and elsewhere.
On Monday, thousands from all branches of Russia’s military marched through Red Square in downtown Moscow. State-of-the-art military hardware was displayed, including aircraft involved in Russia’s war on terrorism in Syria.
US Spurns Putin’s Call for Unity Against Global Terrorism
Stephen Lendman
Russia urges world unity to defeat the scourge of terrorism. America created and supports it, a pretext for endless imperial wars, wanting whole continents carved up for profit and dominance.
ISIS, Jabhat al-Nusra, Al Qaeda and likeminded groups are used as US foot soldiers. Washington backs the scourge it claims to oppose.
It can’t exist without nation-state support. America, NATO, Israel and their rogue allies provide plenty. Obama’s vow to defeat it is a complete hoax, willful deception, media scoundrels complicit in the scam, proliferating state-sponsored propaganda, suppressing what’s most important to report.
Russia’s Experiment with Diplomacy in Syria Failed
Stephen Lendman
In mid-March, Putin announced the withdrawal of most Russian forces from Syria, saying:
“I consider the objectives that have been set for the Defense Ministry to be generally accomplished. That is why I order to start withdrawal of the main part of our military group from the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic starting from tomorrow, (March 15, coinciding with the beginning of dead-on-arrival peace talks).”
“In a short period of time, Russia has created a small but very effective military group in Syria. The effective work of our military forces allowed the peace process to begin.”
“Russian government troops and (Syrian) patriotic forces have changed the situation in the fight with international terrorism and have seized the initiative.”
Greece Again Surrenders to Troika Bandits
Stephen Lendman
On Sunday, long-suffering Greeks suffered another body blow. Parliamentarians voted 153 to 143 for greater austerity than already, exclusively benefitting Western bankers and large investors, social justice entirely ignored.
A three day anti-austerity strike featured protests and sit-ins. Large parts of Greece’s economy were shut down, including transport, schools and other public services to no avail.
Elected on a pledge to end neoliberal austerity, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipris’ SYRIZA regime betrayed its supporters, letting Western monied interests financially rape and pillage Greece more than already.
Again over the weekend. Legislation enacted included a 5.4 billion euro tax hike, hitting ordinary people hardest. Pensions were cut by 1.8 billion euros, value-added taxes raised from 23 - 24%, and pension contributions were increased by 20% for most workers.
John Kerry Desecrated the Spirit and Significance of Russia’s Great Patriotic War Victory Over Nazism
Stephen Lendman
Soviet Russia’s immense contributions and sacrifices turned the tide of battle, enabling allied forces to defeat Nazi Germany.
Ahead of Monday’s 71st anniversary of WW II’s end, Kerry congratulated EU countries on what they call Europe Day - ignoring reality, praising what he called their “enduring example of democracy, liberty and prosperity…”
None of the above exist. US-led Western countries are at war with their own people, punishing them with neoliberal austerity, serving monied interests exclusively - while devoting their resources to imperial wars, corporate handouts, and repressive crackdowns on nonbelievers. Kerry lied calling America founded on “democratic values…shared…with our European partners.” Western democracy is pure fantasy.
Pure evil rules, America and EU countries increasingly tyrannical, waging endless wars of aggression against nonbelligerent states, disdaining peace, supporting terrorism, not combatting it.
Israel Waging Undeclared War on Gaza
Stephen Lendman
It’s been ongoing since Hamas was democratically elected Palestine’s legitimate government in January 2006 - followed by blockade in mid-2007, an act of war under international law.
The PA is an Israeli creation, a puppet government exclusively serving its interests, led by its illegitimate president Mahmoud Abbas, a longstanding Judas, betraying his people for special benefits he’s afforded.
Slow-motion genocide is official Israeli policy - intending maximum Jews and minimum Arabs. Vicious persecution, collective punishment, extrajudicial killings, isolating Palestinians from Jews, besieging Gaza, and intermittent wars on its defenseless people further its objective.
For days, Israel has been bombing and shelling Gaza on the fabricated pretext of responding to Hamas rockets - the same phony reason used to launch summer 2014 naked aggression. They’re used for self-defense after repeated Israeli attacks or other illegal provocations too grave to ignore.
