SUBJECT: WHY WON'T THE NEW YORK TIMES PUBLISH OBAMA'S "DRONE PAPERS," WHICH PROVE OUR PRESIDENT IS A MURDERER WHO MUST BE REMOVED?
In June of 1971, the New York Times had the courage to initiate the publishing of Daniel Ellsburg's "Pentagon Papers." This brave action against the will of a criminal executive branch, combined with the principled decision by then-Senator Mike Gravel (AK) to release 4,100 pages of the Pentagon Papers into the Senate Record, helped spark a fight that led to the end of the criminal presidency of Richard NIxon and was instrumental in bringing the Indochina War to an end. The Papers documented that the war was being lost, not won, and that McNamara's "body count" metric was fraudulent and criminal.
U.S. SecDef Ashton Carter Implies Russia & China Are Enemies of U.S.
Eric Zuesse
INTRODUCTION
On Saturday November 7th, U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter, who had started his career at the Defense Department during the Reagan Administration as an aide to then-Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, Cold-Warring against the communist nations U.S.S.R. and China, delivered a speech saying, “We are in the middle of a strategic transition to respond to the security challenges that will define our future. … We’re responding to Russia, one source of today’s turbulence, and China’s rise, which is driving a transition in the Asia-Pacific.”
So: what has changed for him in all of that time? The weapons are more advanced; he expressed pride in that. And the former Warsaw Pact nations that were allied with the U.S.S.R. surrounding Russia, have increasingly joined NATO and become Russia’s enemies. (The U.S.S.R. terminated the Warsaw Pact, but the U.S. didn’t terminate NATO; instead, NATO with its former Warsaw Pact members increased from the 16 nations it had when the Soviet Union broke up, to the 28 nations today. And U.S. President Barack Obama and SecDef Carter want to increase that number to 29 by including Ukraine, which is on Russia’s border.)
Israel Wants Young Palestinian Children Imprisoned
by Stephen Lendman
Israel doesn’t just violate inviolable international laws. It smashes, tramples on and ignores them, writing its own rules, setting its own standards, doing whatever it pleases, consistently justifying the unjustifiable - longstanding rogue state practice.
It treats children like adults, already abducting, detaining and imprisoning them for political reasons.
America and Israel are the only two nations incarcerating young children for life without parole (LWOP). It’s a 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) signatory, mandating protection for their rights, safety and welfare - “without discrimination of any kind,” regardless of “race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status," including their "right to life…survival (and) development.”
The Expert Witness - Part 1
Gilad Atzmon
The following is the first part of Gilad Atzmon’s Expert Witness Testimony at Arthur Topham’s criminal trial. This part contains a brief summary of Atzmon’s perception of the Jews and their politics. In the next part Atzmon will explain how these ideas serve to vindicate all forms of criticism of Jewish politics, ideology, symbols, rituals and so on.
Attorney Barclay Johnson: Mr Atzmon, can you please elaborate on the notion of Jewish Identity Politics.
Expert Witness Gilad Atzmon: Identity politics is a relatively new study that looks into the meaning and the means of identification of various groups. Instead of asking what is X or Y, identity politics delves into the question of what identifying as X or Y may entail. I have gone through the court case documentation and detected a considerable lack of understanding of the complexity of the terminology related to Jewish matters: identity, religion, race and politics.
The Extraordinary Trial of Arthur Topham
Gilad Atzmon
Part 1
by Eve Mykytyn
Five security guards, members of the RCMP, two in bulletproof vests, all entrants pass through metal detectors, undergo a wand search, check all electronics including cell phones and have their bags meticulously scrutinized. Why all the security? The crown was presenting its criminal case against Arthur Topham, for the crime of “hate.’
The Law
Section 319 of Canada’s criminal code is an extraordinary law by most western standards. It reads, in relevant part: “(2) Every one who, by communicating statements, other than in private conversation, willfully promotes hatred against any identifiable group is guilty of
(a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or
(b) an offence punishable on summary conviction.
The statute does not define hatred, but does provide 4 statutory defenses.
Russian Morality v. US Hubris and Arrogance
by Stephen Lendman
Irresponsible Russia bashing can’t hide what’s increasingly clear. Putin is on the right side of history, polar opposite Obama’s imperial agenda.
America wages endless wars of aggression, masquerading as humanitarian intervention and democracy building, notions neocons infesting Washington abhor.
Might makes right dominates their thinking. Humanity destroying global war looms more possible than any previous time in history.
Russia is the world champion supporter of peace and stability, mutual cooperation among all countries, multi-world polarity, inviolability of fundamental international laws, and respect for universal sovereign independence.
In contrast, US hubris and arrogance threaten humanity’s survival. Putin’s intervention in Syria was the right initiative at the right time. Sooner would have been better.
The die was cast against the right enemy - the scourge of terrorism, ISIS its leading exponent, America its principal backer. A good v. pure evil struggle remains ongoing.
Russia’s main concern is a greater homeland terrorist threat than already. Better to fight it abroad than at home, at the same time helping Syrian forces regain the offensive, recapture lost territory, and preserve its sovereignty.
Unreported Horrors of Israel’s War on Palestine
by Stephen Lendman
Israel is waging premeditated, unprovoked war on Palestine. The shocking toll on defenseless people mounts daily, ignored by deplorable Western and Israeli media - portraying naked aggression as self-defense against “knife-wielding terrorists,” mindless of a new generation of Palestinian youths demanding freedom they deserve.
As America commemorates its rogue warrior tradition on Veterans Day, honoring young men and women sent to wage wars of aggression globally against invented enemies, Palestinians count their dead, wounded and imprisoned heroes, victims of Israeli ruthlessness. As of November 11, soldiers and police murdered 82 Palestinians in cold blood, including 18 children and four women - 72-year-old widow Tharwat al-Sharawi lethally gunned down in her car en route to have lunch with her sister.
EU Approves Labeling for Israeli Settlement Products
by Stephen Lendman
Since June 1967, Israel established 125 illegal settlements on stolen Palestinian land, home for about 600,000 settlers, many Zionist zealots, freely terrorizing Palestinians, committing violence and vandalism unaccountably.
They’re considered closed military zones, off-limits to Palestinians, Jews alone allowed to live in what Israel calls “communities,” developed for them exclusively, reflecting apartheid lawlessness.
Settlers live freely as Israeli citizens, enjoying rights solely afforded Jews. Palestinians are terrorized under martial law, systematically deprived of fundamental human and civil rights - including free expression, movement and assembly, virtually all aspect of their lives controlled by military orders Settlements flagrantly contravene international law, prohibiting occupying powers from relocating their citizens to territories they control. Israel has been doing it unaccountably for nearly half a century, systematically stealing Palestine’s most valued land for exclusive Jewish development - appropriating all West Bank, East Jerusalem, and offshore Gaza resources, including valued water, as well as lucrative oil and gas reserves.
The American Way: Endless Wars
by Stephen Lendman
America is addicted to endless direct and proxy wars of aggression. Peace is anathema, social justice discarded to devote national resources to warmaking and militarizing the homeland.
Washington’s criminal class is bipartisan. Duopoly power rules, one party with two wings, serving monied interests exclusively, not a single identifiable administration, congressional or top-level judicial profile in courage, all in lockstep with what makes America the most feared and hated of all nations.
All Republican and Democrat presidential aspirants support aggressive wars. None demand they end. No one worries about possible nuclear annihilation, let alone rule of law principles and democratic values - old ideas, quaint ones to be discarded and ignored.
Russia Bashing’s New Twist: Alleged State-Sponsored Doping
by Stephen Lendman
A previous article discussed doping accusations without corroborating evidence. It’s habitual in irresponsibly bashing Russia.
The Western founded and run World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accused Russia of state-sponsored doping of athletes - a thinly veiled politically motivated scheme to ban Russia from international athletic competition, especially the 2016 summer Olympic games.
Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said “(w)e know about it from the mass media, and rely on the disproof voiced by our sports ministry.”
Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) president Nikita Kamayev said “(i)f If we speak about the allegedly destroyed doping samples, I see only a raw report and declarative statements without any proof. This also goes in regard to accusations of bribes offered by athletes. I see no logic here. All accusations are ungrounded at the moment.”
Russia’s sports minister Vitaly Mutko called conclusions in WADA’s report “baseless” and “really fictional. The Russian doping agencies today are really independent from the government.” “We only collect samples that are then stored in a laboratory and are supervised for decades. It is not Russia that now heads the anti-doping organization.”
