A detailed Wall Street Journal report explained how Netanyahu’s congressional campaign proved counterproductive. It failed to achieve enough support to derail the Iran nuclear deal.
It alienated some congressional members for challenging Obama irresponsibly. In early August, Netanyahu met with 22 US Democrat lawmakers, said the Journal.
For two hours, he “worked the room,” using props and answering questions posed, said the Journal. “(H)is feelings were clear.”
He lied claiming the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) “would seriously jeopardize Israel’s security.”

Obama began premeditated aggressive proxy war on Syria in March 2011 - using imported Islamic State and other takfiri terrorists to do his dirty work.
There’s nothing civil about ongoing conflict - claims otherwise one of the many Big Lies repeated ad nauseam, proliferated by Western officials and media scoundrels, regurgitating state propaganda, their main role, not honest reporting.
Russia maintains normal diplomatic relations. It supplies contractually arranged arms as well as other products and services. It has every legal and moral right to support a longstanding ally.

Clinton is one of many hardcore/hawkish neocons infesting America - a recklessly dangerous presidential aspirant deploring peace and stability, addicted to endless wars, mass slaughter and destruction.
On September 9, she delivered a foreign policy address at Washington’s Brookings Institution - a notorious corporate financed pro-war think tank, supporting wealth, power and privilege, an establishment organization representing America’s dark side.
It supported ravaging and destroying Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, backs Obama’s wars on Syria and Yemen, endorsed his Ukraine coup replacing democrats with fascist thugs, and urges “resisting (nonexistent) Russian aggression.”

The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishments. Locking people in cages longterm with little or no human contact flagrantly violates the letter and spirit of the law. Yet it’s standard US prison practice nationwide.
America runs the world’s largest gulag system - around 2.4 million people domestically along with a covert global network of black sites, Guantanamo the tip of the iceberg.
The entire system is viciously punitive, mostly affecting people of color, half or more imprisoned for nonviolent crimes, over 500,000 for illicit drug related offenses.

Understanding human conflict requires us to understand human psychology. And it is only when we understand the psychology that drives conflict that we can take intelligent steps to address it.
Unfortunately, understanding the psychology of conflict is not easy and I would like to illustrate one significant problem in this regard and explain what we can do about it. That problem is what is often called 'projection' or 'transference' and it illustrates the importance of emotional, as distinct from intellectual, content in any conflict.
Let me start by quoting a few carefully selected words from a lengthy dialogue recently published. http //peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=628 The dialogue took place between two Israelis, two Palestinians and several individuals from other countries and was focused on the Israeli occupation of Palestine. It was concluded by the moderator's observation that 'our discussion has reached an impasse'.

Vital truths are systematically suppressed. Willful disinformation, distortions and bald-faced lies substitute - why Western media are called presstitutes, making street whores look good by comparison. More on this below.
Longstanding regime change plans lie at the root of US anti-Russian policy - not how the country is governed, its geopolitical agenda or who leads it. Previous articles explained. Washington wants pro-Western stooge governance replacing Russia’s sovereign independence, its vast land mass balkanized for easier control, its resources looted, its people exploited like serfs - a pure evil Hitlerian agenda wrapped in the American flag.
Outlandish anti-Russian propaganda rages - way exceeding hostile Cold War rhetoric. Virtually all major Western publications and electronic media are in lockstep - reporting vicious Big Lies instead of hard truths.
Nonexistent “Russian aggression” is the common denominator along with calling Putin an existential threat - perhaps to US hegemonic aims, nothing else.

A year ago article called 9/11 the mother of all Big Lies - the grandest of grand deceptions, state-sponsored criminality, the most heinous ever false flag changing everything.
Each anniversary is a time to remind people of the evil intent behind the incident. What happened wasn’t a tragedy. It was criminality on steroids against peace - perpetrated by America against humanity, a duplicitous scheme to convince people to wage war on terrorism, targeting designated bad guys invented out of whole cloth because US officials say so.

I know the title of this article might raise some eyebrows in some quarters.
However, in light of the internecine war in Syria, especially the shameless Iranian efforts to depopulate some Sunni towns and villages in order to resettle them with Shiite settlers, one can't just pretend that the Iranians are just behaving within the normal order of things and that they are only pursuing legitimate political goals just like other global and regional powers do.
This is simply not the case.
Iran, which is trying to assert itself as the main regional power in the Middle East (besides Israel) is simply trying to revive the ancient Persian empire at the expense of Arabs and Muslims.

'For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone. It's often meant we have stood neutral between different values. And that's helped foster a narrative of extremism and grievance. This Government will conclusively turn the page on this failed approach.''
David Cameron speech to National Security Council 13 May 2015
The Cameron government would have us believe that the solution to the terrorist threats facing the British people lie in combating ''extremist ideologies'' and bringing out more repressive laws such as the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. This repressive piece of legislation is a recipe for injustice and seeks to criminalise non-violent speech and protest.
