Daily Israeli State Terror Rages
by Stephen Lendman
Conspiratorial scoundrel media ignore Israeli high crimes against defenseless Palestinians, failing to condemn them and demand accountability.
Long-suffering people are disgracefully referred to as knife-wielding terrorists, vilifying their humanity and struggle for justice, brutalized under occupation harshness, denied their international law guaranteed rights for not being Jewish.
The death toll since October 1 is at least 92, including 23 young children and four women, extrajudicially executed, over 10,000 others injured, thousands shot by live fire or potentially lethal rubber/plastic-coated rubber bullets, countless thousands more harmed by toxic tear gas inhalation. 22-year old Fadi Hoosh was the latest victim, an Israeli citizen, his immolated body found Friday night inside a vehicle in a garbage dump - a human being disposed of violently like other refuse, ignored by media scoundrels. Imagine the difference if he was an Israeli, US, or European Jew.
Fascists Running America Endorse Nazism
by Stephen Lendman
America didn’t eliminate the scourge of fascism in WW II. It shifted its headquarters from Berlin and Tokyo to Washington.
Today, it’s partnered with likeminded allies, waging global war on humanity, destroying fundamental freedoms, risking the unthinkable, potential life-ending nuclear war.
On November 19, the General Assembly’s Third Committee on Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Issues adopted a resolution, condemning the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism, and likeminded practices, facilitating racism, xenophobia and intolerance.
A 126-nation majority supported the resolution. Another cowardly 53 countries abstained, including EU states. America, Canada under its new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, US-installed Ukraine putschists and US-controlled Palau voted “no.”
Round-the-Clock Russian War on Terrorism in Syria
by Stephen Lendman
Russia continues waging effective war on terrorism in Syria round-the-clock - compared to America’s phony war, creating and supporting its scourge, used to advance its imperial interests.
After transforming a neglected Latakia, Syria airfield into the Khmeimim strategic hub, Russian aerial operations against ISIS and likeminded groups continue effectively without letup.
Moscow created capacity for dozens of combat aircraft, including state-of-the-art bombers, fighter jets, ground-support planes, helicopter gunships and support choppers.
Conflict Resolution in Syria Impossible Without Assad
by Stephen Lendman
Washington, Britain, France, Israel and rogue regional allies are part of the Syrian conflict resolution problem - Russia and Assad key solution partners.
Sergey Lavrov stresses Assad’s importance, saying “(a)ll the forecasts made by (rogue Western states) and some other parties that the people would rise up and oust him never came true.”
“This means one thing: Assad represents the interests of a significant part of Syrian society (the vast majority, Lavrov stopped short of explaining based on polling data and his overwhelming June 2014 reelection). So no peaceful solution can be found without his participation.”
Jonathan Pollard Released
by Stephen Lendman
Reports last summer indicated Pollard would be released within months as a sop to Israel. An earlier article called it perhaps a teaspoon of sugar to help the Iran nuclear deal go down.
Thirty years ago, he was arrested, pled guilty to spying for Israel, and was sentenced to life imprisonment - the only case of its kind imposing punishment this harsh for passing classified information to an ally.
On Friday without fanfare, he was released from a North Carolina prison at 4:15AM, his wife Esther and others there to greet him. The New York Times said “the Obama administration had no plans to let him leave the country and move to Israel as he requested.”
Hillary’s Foreign Policy: Endless Wars of Aggression
by Stephen Lendman
A Clinton presidency would be disastrous for America and humanity. She represents pure evil - the most reckless and ruthless of all current aspirants - a rogue actor on steroids, a real threat to world peace and stability.
The late historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. once called the New York-based Council for Foreign Relations (CFR) a “front organization (for) the heart of the American establishment.” It publishes only what it wishes the public to know.
It was Clinton’s venue for her Thursday foreign policy address, focusing on the Middle East, advocating escalated US military intervention, a reckless jingoistic proposal risking direct confrontation with Russia, possible WW III - using US-created ISIS and so-called “radical jihadism” as the pretext for her advocacy.
Wars: US Militarist Factions in Command
James Petras
Introduction
Over the past 15 years the US has been engaged in a series of wars, which has led many writers to refer to the ‘rise of militarism’ – the growth of an empire, built primarily by and for the projection of military power – and only secondarily to advance economic imperialism.
The rise of a military-based empire, however, does not preclude the emergence of competing, conflicting and convergent power configurations within the imperial state. These factions of the Washington elite define the objectives and targets of imperial warfare, often on their own terms.
Having stated the obvious general fact of the power of militarism within the imperial state, it is necessary to recognize that the key policy-makers, who direct the wars and military policy, will vary according to the country targeted, type of warfare engaged in and their conception of the war. In other words, while US policy is imperialist and highly militaristic, the key policymakers, their approach and the outcomes of their policies will differ. There is no fixed strategy devised by a cohesive Washington policy elite guided by a unified strategic vision of the US Empire.
German Economic News Infers France Will Re-Align with Russia, Abandon U.S.
Eric Zuesse
U.S. President Barack Obama’s continuing refusal to work together with Vladimir Putin’s offensive in Syria to slaughter all jihadists there, has driven French President Francois Hollande to consider a fundamental re-alignment of France with Russia and away from the U.S. and NATO (the anti-Russian military club of nations). Recent news reporting in German Economic News — a news medium with an uncanny and extraordinary record of subsequently validated insights — is now suggesting that Hollande is, indeed, moving away from the United States, and toward Russia. If they get this one right, too, then that publication, known in its native language as Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten, or DWN, will have cemented its leading position as a reporter of global affairs.
On November 17th, they bannered, “Putin Instructs Russian Navy to Treat France as an Ally.” Two days later, on the 19th, they headlined, “France Praises Putin: He Fights Sincerely Against Terrorism,” and reported that France’s "Foreign Minister Fabius praised the Russian president Putin. Francois Hollande meets with Putin.The Senate spokeswoman calls for the end of the sanctions. After the terrorist attacks, the two countries also cooperate militarily.
Neocons Call for Invading Syria
by Stephen Lendman
In the wake of last Friday’s Paris false flag, it didn’t take long for lunatics in Washington to urge sending US ground forces to Syria - on the phony pretext of combating ISIS, their real mission to oust Assad.
A new Donald Trump radio ad calls for “bomb(ing) the hell out of ISIS,” claiming “(t)he tragic attacks in Paris prove once again that America needs to get tough on radical Islamic terrorism. President Obama and other politicians have consistently failed us.”
“Just hours before the attacks in Paris, President Obama said ISIS has been contained. It's amazing that the United States can have a president who is so out of touch, but it's also dangerous. Obama has no strategy to defeat ISIS. And now he's preparing to let hundreds of thousands of refugees from Syria into the United States.”
Russia Targets ISIS Oil Tanker Vehicles
by Stephen Lendman
Russia’s escalated campaign against ISIS and other takfiri terrorists includes striking their fighters, facilities, command centers, bunkers, weapons and munitions sites - and now vehicles these groups use to transport stolen Syrian oil to Iraq and Turkey for black market sales, never bombed by US warplanes.
According to Russian General Staff spokesman Colonel General Andrey Kartapolov, “(i)n recent years, Islamic State and other extremist groups have organized the operations of the so-called ‘pipeline on wheels’ on the territories they control.” Russian warplanes already destroyed over 500 tanker vehicles used to transport oil for clandestine sales. It’s their main funding source along with what Washington and its rogue allies supply.
