Why the Vilest Republicans Have Come to Love Hillary Clinton
Eric Zuesse
The 1964 “Goldwater Girl” Hillary Rodham (Clinton) is now viewed as a possible savior by the same Republicans that loathed her husband: she’s enough of a “neo-conservative” to make lots of them want her to become the next U.S. President.
After Bill Krystol’s friend, Robert Kagan (both men were the “Project for a New American Century” top propagandists for the U.S. to invade Iraq in 2003) praised Hillary Clinton in a Washington Post op-ed, the journalist Robert Parry noted that this endorsement was based on her solid neo-conservative record, especially because "she has backed coups, such as in Honduras (2009) and Ukraine (2014); invasions, such as Iraq (2003) and Libya (2011); and subversions such as Syria (from 2011 to the present) all with various degrees of disastrous results,” and therefore she carries on superbly the neo-conservative tradition, which they represent.
NATO as a War-Racket NATO Causes Refugees, Then Uses Them As Excuse for More Invasions
Eric Zuesse
NATO is the anti-Russia military club of nations, even after the communist Soviet Union and its military club against the U.S., the Warsaw Pact, ended in 1991 — NATO didn’t reciprocate that by ending itself, as it should have done (and would have done if the U.S. President at the time, George Herbert Walker Bush, had had any basic decency; instead, he said in private, “To hell with that; we won, they didn’t!” but he continued telling Gorbachev that NATO wouldn’t move “one inch to the east” — which promise he was planning to violate, and which his successors have been violating). With the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact gone, NATO’s claimed raison d’etre was also gone, but NATO shamelessly continued on, and it even has expanded right up to Russia’s borders (just try to imagine what John Fitzgerald Kennedy would have thought if it hadn’t been Soviet nuclear missiles merely in Cuba in 1962, but all surrounding the U.S. — and that’s the situation today but reversed: today’s Russia is in the situation of 1962’s U.S., but even more so, though NATO has the audacity to accuse Russia of ‘aggression’ for, essentially, defending itself from NATO — from the enemies that are increasingly surrounding it!). (Yes, what America has been doing, really, is that bad.)
Why Hillary Clinton’s Paid Speeches Are Relevant
Eric Zuesse
On the fake-‘progressive’ (actually conservative-Democratic-Party) website that’s run by a longtime CIA asset Markos Moulitsas, “Daily Kos,” there was posted on February 24th an article by “motocat”, headlined, “I have personally been to a closed door corporate Clinton speech. This is what I experienced.” This person, he or she, didn’t indicate what the speech said, other than “how disappointing the whole thing was,” and, that it was a speech by Bill Clinton, not Hillary Clinton, and “It made me feel sort of sad to see how old and feeble he looked. The last time I had seen Bill speak was when he was running for his first term as President. He looked like a different man.” Then the author went into speculation about what might be in Hillary Clinton’s speeches:
“Everyone wondering what Hillary possibly could have said in 30 minutes that was worth 250K is missing the point. These people are celebrities. They are booked to deliver paid speeches, because it benefits those who book them in some way. You might as well ask what Kanye West could possibly say in 45 minutes at Madison Square Garden that would be worth 250K to the promoter.
German Economic News Reports Obama Has Abandoned His ‘Neocons’
Eric Zuesse
German Economic News (Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten, or DWN), the most reliable news-source on geostrategic matters, reported, on March 31st, that U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin had secretly reached agreement on working together to kill the jihadists in Syria, even despite Obama’s having long been carrying out instead the policies of his Administration’s neoconservatives, such as Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, which prioritize first America’s longstanding effort to overthrow and replace the Russian government (by overthrowing governments that ally with Russia). If this news-report is correct, then it indicates that Obama has finally come around to the position that Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, had, according to the great investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, been urging upon Obama: to place the destruction of the jihadists as being a higher priority than the anti-Russian campaign (which has been carried out by overthrowing Russia’s allies — especially Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine, successfully done in February 2014 — and Bashar al-Assad in Syria. Unlike Yanukovych, Assad seems to have become the all-but-certain winner of the American-and-jihadists’ war to overthrow his secular government.)
Western Civilization Is Depraved
Stephen Lendman
Western civilization “would be a good idea,” Gandhi once observed.
It’s depraved and uncivilized, harming the many for the privileged few, responsible for death, destruction and human misery on an unprecedented scale while pretending respect for democratic values it deplores.
America is the leading force of evil in a world increasingly unfit and unsafe to live in, ruled by its privileged class serving its own interests exclusively, exploiting others for profit and dominance. Other Western nations operate the same way. Elections are farcical, democracy pure fantasy. Endless wars rage against nations threatening no one.
RADICAL THERAPY IS ALL ABOUT SELF - HEALING
Allen L Roland, PhD
The approach I take in my book RADICAL THERAPY, SURRENDER TO LOVE AND HEAL YOURSELF IN SEVEN SESSIONS (Not Seven Years) and in my heart centered consultations with Veterans with PTSD as well as others with PTHD (Post Traumatic Heart Disorder) is indeed, in reality, a radical approach for self-healing ~ and meant to be shared with the world.
The Basic underlying and uniting force of the universe is a psychic energy field of love and soul consciousness ( the Unified Field ) which lies not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears and whose principal property is the universal urge to unite: Allen L Roland. PhD
My joyful demonstration that this infinite Unified Field of love ~ and not the speed of light ~ is the absolute constant of the universe also leads me to a simple and joyous observation that psychology, science and religion ultimately all rest on a common foundation of love and soul consciousness.
Fight the Esblishment
Joel S. Hirschhorn
If you think that the worst thing for the country is electing yet another establishment politician to the presidency, what is your best, most principled action? By you I mean the millions of Americans who have supported the candidacy of either Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump. They have enormous potential power.
Skip forward to the general election and imagine that both Sanders and Trump have not made it to the presidential ballot, a very likely scenario. Clearly, both Trump and Sanders supporters strongly oppose the political establishment. The status quo of what amounts to more of a plutocracy than a legitimate and effective democracy. Now, what do these angry, disappointed Americans do in the general election? Cave and vote for the lesser of two evils? Or, is there a better solution? There is. It is to not vote for any presidential candidate.
Calling Russia America’s Greatest Strategic Threat Risks Direct Confrontation
Stephen Lendman
US/Russian relations are adversarial. Nothing in prospect suggests change. Neocon lunatics in Washington bear full responsibility. Is eventual war inevitable?
Will nuclear weapons be used for long sought regime change? Is the unthinkable possible? Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and NATO commander General Philip Breedlove, among others, persist in calling Russia America’s greatest existential threat.
Putin is committed to world peace, stability and mutual cooperation among all nations. Moscow threatens no one. Washington is the greatest threat to world peace under Republican or Democrat leadership.
A nation perpetually at war risks igniting it globally with super-weapons able to end life on earth. Rogue leadership in Washington threatens it.
America Represents the Greatest Threat to World Peace
Stephen Lendman
America needs enemies to justify its imperial agenda. When none exist, they’re invented.
Cold War politics never died. After Soviet Russia dissolved, everything changed but stayed the same, largely dormant during the Yeltsin years, reemerged under Putin as Russia’s leader - a force for good, not evil, polar opposite America’s agenda.
The real evil empire resides in Washington, waging endless wars against nonbelligerent nations, threatening world peace, humanity’s survival if nuclear war is launched.
On Monday, Obama met with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the White House. The Alliance is for offense, not defense, a killing machine menace.
Obama lied, calling it “the lynchpin, the cornerstone of our collective defense and US security policy” - without explaining no nations threaten America or any NATO state.
Ousting Assad Remains Official US Policy
Stephen Lendman
In March 2011, Obama launched naked aggression on Syria, using imported death squads as proxy fighters, creating the myth about civil war - wanting Assad replaced with US controlled puppet governance the way Gaddafi was ousted and murdered.
Over five years later, endless conflict rages. Washington and its rogue allies continue supporting ISIS and likeminded terrorist groups while claiming they’re combatting them.
When farcical peace talks resume this weekend, if things go as planned, expect continued failure to resolve things, both sides intractably apart, discussions a waste of time.
Washington wants war, not peace. It wants Syrians having no say on who’ll lead them while claiming otherwise - polar opposite Russia’s position.
