Bad News Friday
by Stephen Lendman
Imperial America suffered multiple body blows. So did most Republican presidential aspirants in the latest Pew Research poll - conducted from September 22 - 27, based on Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters, indicating they’ll vote in the Republican primary or caucus in their state. More on this below.
First how the empire fared, a time its power brokers would like to forget, symptomatic of a nation in decline, the eventual fate of all empires in history.
Soviet Russia the last one. America’s turn awaits. Lunatics in Washington assure it, a bipartisan criminal class - corrupt, ruthless, lawless. When it goes, it may take us all with it.
Israel Terrorizes Palestinians After Two Settlers Shot
by Stephen Lendman
Here’s how Israeli justice works. Extremist settlers set a Palestinian family’s home ablaze, immolate three of its members in cold blood, seriously burn a fourth, and remain free to kill again because they’re not arrested - despite Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon admitting authorities know who’s responsible.
Settlers terrorize Palestinians daily, commit violence and vandalism, desecrate Islam’s third holiest site (the Al Aqsa Mosque) at their discretion, aided by rampaging soldiers and police, and remain free to commit more criminal acts.
Palestinian children throwing stones in self-defense, responding to Israeli security forces or settlers’ violence, face up to 20 years in prison, their families subject to stiff fines they can’t afford to pay.
Russia’s Impressive First Week of REAL War on Terror
by Stephen Lendman
In over a year of Washington’s phony war on ISIS, they’re stronger with more territory than when US bombing began - targeting Syrian and Iraqi infrastructure, not terrorist forces or facilities.
On September 30, things changed markedly. Washington wants no interference in its policies. Putin’s intervention leveled the playing field.
ISIS forces are panicking, retreating, hiding in residential areas and mosques, using area residents as human shields - knowing Russia won’t attack noncombatants or civilian infrastructure, Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov explained, citing video evidence.
Straight Talk on Israeli Viciousness
by Stephen Lendman
Judge Israel solely as a political entity - by its policies, the harm it causes millions regionally and beyond. Ignore the right of Jews to statehood.
What about Palestinians, Kurds, Roma, nomadic Bedouin tribes, Rohingyas, Nubians and millions of other stateless people. Are they less deserving? Are Jews special, but not them?
In November 1945, Harry Truman said “I have to answer to hundreds of thousands who are anxious for the success of Zionism. I do not have hundreds of thousands of Arabs among my constituents.” On May 15, 1945, minutes after midnight, Truman became the first world leader to recognize the new Israeli state - created by mass slaughtering and forcibly displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their own land in their own country, never allowed to return.
Whitewashing US/Saudi War Crimes in Yemen
by Stephen Lendman
America is a rogue state of unparalleled pure evil, masquerading as a democracy, run by bipartisan criminals, fascist neocons, serving powerful monied interests and their own.
Saudi Arabia is one of the world’s vilest regimes, a fascist police state, partnering with America’s regional aggression, supplying chemical and other terror weapons to ISIS and other takfiris, ruthlessly waging war on Yemen, committing horrendous high crimes - Obama’s war, planned and orchestrated in Washington, the US and Riyadh complicit in creating a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions.
Malala Yousafzai Aims to Be Pakistan’s Prime Minister
Eric Zuesse
On Saturday, October 3rd, the India Today TV channel telecast an interview with the Pakistani 2014 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai, who said, “My dream is to help children get an education” — which has always been her signature issue — and that, because the existing leadership of her country is not committed to this goal, she intends to become Pakistan’s Prime Minister.
Here is how that fact came out: She was asked if, like Pakistan’s first female Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto, she would want to be the Prime Minister of Pakistan, and she responded directly, “Hopefully, if people vote [for me]. But my dream is to help children get education.”
Israel on a Rampage
by Stephen Lendman
Violence begets violence. Israel willfully instigates it, brutally persecuting Palestinians daily. People take only so much before reacting - expressing justifiable anger and frustration.
Israel responds as expected - viciously unleashing indiscriminate state terror, collective punishment, war on defenseless civilians.
The latest after a Palestinian killed two Israelis and injured two others, including a two-year-old infant. The attack occurred in Jerusalem’s Old City. Police shot and killed the alleged perpetrator, 19-year-old Mohammad Shafiq Halabi, then went on a rampage - assaulting innocent Palestinian shop owners, forcing them to shut down, closing off East Jerusalem, restricting movement in and out of the city, setting up numerous checkpoint to harass and likely commit more violence, assuring more of it in return.
Putin Irresponsibly Bashed for Doing the Right Thing
by Stephen Lendman
The entire free world wants terrorism defeated. Russia leads the effort to confront it head-on, a righteous undertaking despite the risks.
Putin’s initiative deserves universal praise. Contrary to US propaganda, it’s already making a difference. More on this below.
Administration and Pentagon officials claiming it’ll strengthen ISIS, prolong war, and increase human suffering is pure rubbish - willful misinformation and Big Lies. They keep coming nonstop, part of longstanding anti-Putin US policy for outrageous reasons - his independence and support for nation-state sovereignty, urging mutual cooperation among all nations, deploring war, supporting peace initiatives, calling international law principles inviolable, wanting offenders held accountable, and refusing to observe Washington rules, its ruthless geopolitical agenda, making it a pariah in the eyes of free people everywhere.
Obama Irresponsibly Bashes Putin
by Stephen Lendman
Obama is responsible for more deaths, destruction and human misery than any of his predecessors - continuing Bush’s AfPak and Iraq wars, waging his own on Libya, Syria, Donbass, and Yemen, as well as partnering with Israeli aggression three times against defenseless Gazans.
He’s an unindicted war criminal multiples times over, a serial liar, a moral coward - an embarrassment to legitimate governance. Removing him from high office should be a national priority. On Friday, he held his first press conference since Putin declared REAL war on ISIS in Syria, polar opposite his PHONY humanitarian intervention - using ISIS and other takfiri terrorists as US foot soldiers, bombing Syrian targets, not their death squads or facilities.
Iraqis Seek Help from Russia Against ISIS
Michael Collins
"In a devastating blow to US influence in the country it occupied in 2003, Iraq's government has called for Russian assistance against ISIS. Meanwhile, Iraqis in the streets are celebrating Vladimir Putin." Wall Street Journal in Russia Today
Can you imagine ... the government and citizens of a country that the rulers of the United States totally devastated turning to Russia for help against ISIS?
This raises a few questions.
Is the Obama administration pulling its punches in the fight against ISIS?
Has the administration exaggerated the effectiveness of the much-publicized campaign against ISIS?
