Unwanted Refugees: EU Countries Block Borders
by Stephen Lendman
The 1995 Schengen Agreement established open borders between 26 of the 28 EU countries. A Schengen visa issued in one nation is valid in all, permitting free movement throughout the area. A single external border alone exists.
Things are changing. Refugee floods caused by US-led imperial wars aren’t wanted. Record numbers risk life and limb to reach European destinations out of desperation - enduring enormous hardships en route, then mistreated like hostile invaders when they arrive.
German willingness to accept huge numbers appears fading. On Sunday, it closed its border with Austria, suspending train traffic, the way most refugees entered the country this summer.
America Created and Supports the Islamic State
by Stephen Lendman
Obama’s so-called war to degrade and destroy it is a complete fabrication. Defeating it is simple. Stop recruiting, arming, funding, training and directing its elements.
Stop using terrorists as US proxy foot soldiers. Wage peace, not war. Isolated on its own, it’ll wither over time and disappear, or be too impotent to rampage like now.
Washington bears full responsibility for human floods fleeing war ravaged areas for safe havens anywhere. Bashar al-Assad told RT International the crisis is “not about that Europe didn’t accept them or embrace them as refugees. It’s about not dealing with the cause. If you are worried about them, stop supporting terrorists.”
Duty to Warn Drowned Syrian Toddlers: Collateral Damage From America’s De-Stabilizing, Endless, Post-911 “Wars on Terror”
By Gary G. Kohls, MD
“Show me bodies floating in water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad. I still don’t care.”– Popular conservative Sun (a British daily newspaper) columnist Katie Hopkins, commenting on the homeless war refugees from war-torn Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, etc. who are fleeing their militarily de-stabilized and devastated countries after their homes and homelands had been reduced to bloody rubble by soldiers obeying orders from their commanders (including NATO and American "interventionism” in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, etc, etc). Fascism must be alive and well in the UK if conscienceless, racist and xenophobic statements like what celebrity Katie Hopkins uttered are applauded by her countrymen.
Kiev’s Yalta European Strategy Forum
by Stephen Lendman
The September 10 - 12 event featured a rogue’s gallery of speakers - including sacked former US General Stanley McChrystal, former European Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso, former Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt, coup d’etat Ukrainian oligarch president Petro Poroshenko, illegitimate prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, US presidential aspirant Donald Trump, and US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland.
Poroshenko opened the forum, suggesting escalated war on Donbass, saying:“(N)ow it is high time to discuss the possibility to deploy an operation in the Donbass to support due implementation of the Minsk Agreement” - ceasefire terms he violated straightaway after agreeing to observe them, mobilizing 90,000 troops for escalated war, refusing to withdraw heavy weapons from frontline positions as mandated, and shelling civilian communities multiple times daily.
Palestinian Political Prisoners Protest Israeli Oppression
by Stephen Lendman
Thousands of Palestinian political prisoners languish in Israeli gulag hell - ruthlessly brutalized for their faith, ethnicity and determination to live free, not for any crimes they committed.
Israel cracks down hard on anyone challenging its police state harshness and longstanding plan for an ethnically pure nation exclusively for Jews - with Arabs confined to ghettoized bantustans, prisoners on their own land, denied virtually all rights, victims of apartheid viciousness worse than South Africa’s.
Hunger striker Muhammad Allan may die - in a coma after two months without food, hospitalized on a respirator receiving liquid minerals and nutrients intravenously.
Irresponsible Western Media Russia Bashing
By Stephen Lendman
Western media irresponsibly blame Russia for high crimes against peace committed by their own nations, namely America, key NATO allies, Israel and rogue Arab states - notably in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, Yemen and Syria, ignoring Moscow’s consistent efforts to resolve conflicts diplomatically, the only way to restore peace and stability.
World attention on the gravest refugee crisis since WW II caused by US-led imperial wars affects Syria most of all. Half its 23-million population is internally or externally displaced.
Nothing is reported about Obama’s full responsibility - a proxy war he launched in March 2011, complicit with other rogue states - using imported death squads to topple Assad’s popularly elected government.
Instead of laying blame where it belongs, Western media bash Putin. Hysterical Fox News misreporting claims he’s “co-leading” war in Syria.
HISTORIC NEWS: Finally, EU Breaks Away from U.S.
Eric Zuesse
On Saturday, September 12th, United Kingdom’s Labour Party elected as its leader and their candidate to lead the UK, Jeremy Corbyn, who has been the most vocal British critic of the UK’s serving as the lap-dog of an aggressive imperialistic United States of America.
Simultaneously, the leader of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s own Christian Social Union Party, Horst Seehofer, a man who, prior to his being appointed to be the Party-chief had been Chancellor Merkel’s Agriculture Minister, has now turned against Chancellor Merkel (who until now was the most powerful leader in all of Europe) and denounced her policy on the refugee crisis, and has now stated publicly that Germany should instead ally with Russia and against NATO on the entire Syrian war.
Irresponsibly Bashing Venezuelan Justice
by Stephen Lendman
On September 10 in Caracas, justice was served. Anti-Bolivarian fascist coup plotter Leopoldo Lopez was sentenced to nearly 14 years in prison for his leading role in inciting months of violence and related crimes last year, resulting in 43 deaths, many injuries and destruction of public property.
He got off lightly. In America, he’d likely have been charged with sedition, convicted offenders sentenced to decades or life in prison.
President Nicholas Maduro compared him to the 2002 coup plotters - calling him “the face of fascism.”
Along with defrocked National Assembly member Maria Corina Machado and other co-conspirators, he launched a US supported La Salida (the Exit) campaign, openly calling for ousting Venezuela’s government, inciting street violence to replace Bolivarian social democracy with money-controlled business as usual.
A Month of World Decision Centered in Manhattan
LaRouchePac
Sept. 10 (EIRNS)-Manhattan will be a center of gravity for the entirety of world history, during an extraordinary month which will begin with a major meeting featuring Lyndon LaRouche and prominent guests in a dialogue with a Manhattan audience this Saturday, Sept. 12, followed by United Nations proceedings culminating in the 70th General Assembly General Debate from Sept. 28-Oct 6. On the first day of that debate, Vladimir Putin is expected to make a proposal for an effective coalition against ISIS and terrorism. Obama would address the General Assembly on the same day, Sept. 28, if he is still President then-but we have it in our hands to ensure that he will no longer be President, having been removed from office by Constitutional means.
Western Media Ignore US Responsibility for Refugee Crisis
by Stephen Lendman
Post-9/11 Internal and external human floods followed Bush aggression on Afghanistan and Iraq, then Obama continuing his wars and his own on Libya, Syria, Donbass, Yemen and complicit with Israel on Palestine, as well as other turbulent hot spots caused by Washington’s imperial agenda.
Major media explain nothing about why people flee countries of origin for safe havens elsewhere. They ignore millions of Palestinian refugees, forcibly displaced internally, in neighboring countries and elsewhere by Israeli aggression since 1947-48. Or the millions of Mexicans and other Latinos forced north to America by economic, not hot wars. Or over a million Ukrainian refugees Russia accepted following Obama’s war on Donbass, most remaining - humanely treated, given proper food, shelter and medical care.
