Corbyn v. Sanders
by Stephen Lendman
Differences between them are stark. Sanders is more opportunist than populist, nearly always supporting Democrat pro-war, pro-Israel, pro-business, anti-human/civil rights policies - voting with party members 98% of the time, more than most Democrats, polar opposite his high-minded rhetoric, hiding his real agenda.
In over three decades as a Labour party member, Corbyn opposed its policies over 500 times - according to the Financial Times and London Telegraph.
Sanders pledged support for Hillary if she’s nominated. He refuses to attack her pro-war, pro-business, anti-populist agenda - or denounce Obama’s endless wars on humanity. Silence = support.
The Big Lie About Russian Forces in Syria
by Stephen Lendman
Washington continues using Islamic State and other takfiri terrorists as US proxy foot soldiers, waging naked aggression on Syria, largely affecting millions of civilians, creating a human flood of internally and externally displaced people along with mass slaughter and destruction.
Obama, John Kerry and other US officials firmly oppose Russia legitimately aiding its Syrian ally in need - providing political support as well as military weapons, munitions, equipment and technology.
The grand deception about Russian forces and warplanes operating in Syria persists. It’s one of many Big Lies circulating to vilify Putin. Moscow has been forthrightly candid all along - explaining its obligation to supply Syria with contractually agreed on weapons, the only nation providing humanitarian aid along with UN efforts.
Sen. Mike Gravel at the United Nations: China's Policy Offers Solutions to Obama's Disasters
larouchepac
Former U.S. Senator Mike Gravel of Alaska, a 2008 candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination and longtime trenchant critic of U.S. foreign policy, including that of the Obama Administration, told the United Nations press Monday, in New York, that China's policy offers solutions to world economic and political crises. Gravel pointed to China’s "One Belt, One Road" global infrastructure development policy for the solution to the world economic crisis, and said he sees no solution from inside Obama's United States.
Nazism in Israel
by Stephen Lendman
Israel treats Arabs the way Nazis treated Jews - a racist, fascist, white Jewish supremacist (the chosen people nonsense), Arab-hating society systematically ghettoizing and terrorizing people for praying to the wrong God.
Palestinians are treated like subhumans, enduring virtually every type indignity and mistreatment under brutalizing militarized rule, civil justice denied.
Institutionalized racism worse than South African apartheid denies them fundamental human and civil rights. De-Arabization is official Israeli policy. Occupation harshness facilitates slow-motion genocide.
US Presidential Candidates Demean Muslims and Hugo Chavez
by Stephen Lendman
Candidates on the stump show why America’s political system is too corrupted to fix - a money controlled duopoly masquerading as democratic. Democrats and Republicans represent one party with two wings.
They’re interchangeable on issues mattering most, representing wealth and power exclusively at the expense of beneficial social change, lying when claiming otherwise, other times making disgraceful comments, revealing their dark side.
Muslims are America’s geopolitical enemy of choice - vilified for their faith and ethnicity, a convenient pretext for Washington’s phony war on terror.
Republicans Again Fail to Block Iran Nuclear Deal
by Stephen Lendman
Congress had until September 17 to accept or reject the Iran Nuclear deal (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action - JCPOA). Three Republican efforts to block it fell short.
On September 10, Senate Republicans failed to get the 60-vote supermajority needed to invoke cloture - the process to end debate and bring a measure to a vote.
House Republicans declined to consider a disapproval motion, seeking other ways to undermine a done deal.
On September 15, a second Republican Senate attempt to pass a disapproval resolution failed to get enough votes to invoke cloture. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R. KY) said another would follow before the September 17 deadline.
A List of Media Where the ‘News’ Is Censored — And Where It’s Not
Eric Zuesse
A good test of the extent to which a given news-medium censors out news that the aristocracy (especially the people who control international corporations — the people who possess the ultimate authority to determine where the big advertising-dollars are spent) don’t want the public to know, is to submit important news reports to them on a regular basis, to find out which media will publish it — which ones will, and which won’t, publish a major and rigorously researched news story that reports something all (or virtually all) major advertisers want the public not to know. A news-story that exposes a fundamental lie ‘justifying’ a major U.S. foreign policy is of precisely this sort.
The following news-story of this type was submitted to all major mainstream and “alternative news” news sites, including the following; and only the nine that are shown here boldfaced-underlined (and linked, so that you can check out those honest ones by just a click) actually published it (the story you’ll see below); the others did not:
US-China Relations: the Pentagon versus High Tech
James Petras
Introduction
Step by step, Washington is inexorably setting up a major provocation against China. Until now, the Obama regime tightened a military encirclement of China, expanding its armed forces agreements with Japan, the Philippines and Australia. In addition, it has promoted the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP), a regional trade agreement which openly excludes China. Obama has ordered a major naval build-up in the South China Sea and embarked on extensive cyber-espionage of Chinese industries and the government via major US high-tech companies, as revealed by Edward Snowden in his release of confidential NSA document. As President Xi Jinping prepares for his first US visit as China’s leader on September 25, with the aim of extending economic ties between Chinese and US business (especially with the high tech corporations in Seattle and Silicon Valley), the Obama regime has threatened to impose a series of punitive sanctions against Chinese companies and individuals for ‘cyber-espionage’, essentially undermining the purpose of his trip.
US Zionist Organizations Blast Muted UN Criticism of Israeli Violence
by Stephen Lendman
Ruthless Israeli persecution of Palestinians continues daily - unrestrained violence against defenseless civilians its notable feature, state terrorism by any standard.
World leaders able to make a difference do nothing to change things. Disingenuous rhetoric substitutes for action. After days of Israeli security forces brutalizing Palestinians throughout the West Bank along with desecrating Islam’s third holiest site, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and compound, UN Security Council members did nothing to hold Netanyahu responsible.
Blood in the Streets in Occupied Palestine
Stephen Lendman
Israel considers Palestine a free-fire zone - ruthlessly brutalizing and murdering Palestinians in cold blood unaccountably.
In its weekly report on Israeli human rights abuses, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) said Israel “continued…attack(ing) Palestinian civilians and their property in the occupied Palestinian territories…for the reporting period” ending September 16, 2015 - before its forces desecrated the Al-Aqsa Mosque and compound (Islam’s third holiest site) for three consecutive days, rampaging violently, inflicting scores of injuries.
On Friday, state terror continued unabated. Israeli forces attacked peaceful Palestinian protesters across the West Bank violently, using tear gas, rubber-coated steel bullets, stun grenades and live fire. Dozens more injuries followed. Maan News reported “(d)emonstrators raised flags and chanted slogans in support of Al-Aqsa Mosque and Christian holy sites, with local popular committee member Abdullah Abu Rahmeh condemning Israeli raids in East Jerusalem's Old City.”
