US/Saudi Recruited Terrorists in Yemen
by Stephen Lendman
Obama's genocidal war against 25 million Yemenis continues without mercy. US-sponsored cold-blooded murder claims scores of lives daily.
Noncombatant men, women and children are harmed most. Endless conflict persists - now involving US/Saudi recruited, funded, armed, trained and directed takfiri terrorists.
Islamic State fighters posted a video online announcing their presence - threatening to "cut the throats" of Ansarullah Houthi rebels.
It showed about two dozen heavily armed IS fighters preparing for combat. Their commander planted a black flag in the ground saying "soldiers of the caliphate (have arrived to) to cut the throats" of the Houthis.
"We have come to Yemen, with men hungry for your blood to avenge the Sunnis and take back the land they have occupied," he said.
NYT Editors Support Harmful to Health GMO Foods and Ingredients
by Stephen Lendman
Clear evidence shows GMO foods and ingredients are inherently unsafe. Reliable independent studies prove it.
Claims otherwise are Big Lies. Scientifically conducted animal studies show major human health risks from GMO products - including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation, gastrointestinal abnormalities, and major organ changes.
Monsanto and other GMO producers spend millions of dollars burying hard evidence - including funding scientists, journalists and others on the take to lie for hard cash.
Americans don't know what they're eating. Labeling is prohibited.
Saudi-Style Yemeni Ceasefire: Continued Terror-Bombing
by Stephen Lendman
Riyadh's so-called next phase replicates its initial phase. Rhetoric alone changed.
Terror-bombing continues. Civilians are most harmed. They're being slaughtered in cold blood.
Saudi-announced Operation Restoring Hope involves destroying it.
Osfam's Yemen representative Grant Pritchard said "(a)irstrikes are continuing over Taiz today. It is Yemen's third largest city."
"And there is fighting on the ground in many of the southern governorates. For example, Aden. They are still fighting there."
"Food insecurity figure has risen by approximately 2 million. So in the country there are about 12 million people that do not have enough food to eat."
"That equates to nearly just under 50 percent of the population."
Obama-Authorized Murder by Drones
by Stephen Lendman
Obama-authorized drone killings are cold-blooded murder by any standard - mostly affecting noncombatant civilians, innocent men, women and children in harm's way.
Former Obama White House press secretary Jay Carney lied calling drone strikes "precise, lawful and effective."
They're indiscriminate and lawless. They accomplish no geopolitical objectives. They arouse great public anger in targeted countries.
Days earlier, a drone strike killed a US and Italian hostage. A disingenuous White House press secretary statement said:
"It is with tremendous sorrow that we recently concluded that a US government counterterrorism operation in January killed two innocent hostages held by Al-Qaeda since 2011."
Obama's dishonest apology to surviving family members rang hollow. He lied saying "(b)ased on the intelligence that we had obtained at the time…we believed that this was an Al Qaeda compound, that no civilians were present…"
Russia 1,700 - America Zero: Number of Foreign Nationals Evacuated from Yemen
by Stephen Lendman
What do you call a nation going all-out to help desperate foreign nationals trapped in war zone hell: heroic and honorable by any standard! Led by a president and other officials valuing human life and welfare!
What do you call one refusing to help its own trapped nationals in a war of aggression it planned and implemented, using proxy killers to do its dirty work: guilty of the supreme high crime against peace! Disdainful of human life and welfare! A ruthless rogue state!
In early April, the State Department said "there are no plans for a US government-coordinated evacuation of US citizens at this time."
Libertarians’ Civil War Over Ukraine
Eric Zuesse
On the one hand, Andrei Illarionov of the Koch Brothers’ libertarian Cato Institute says that the first among "the crimes that have been committed or are being committed by the Kremlin — stealing Crimea” can be rectified only by rejecting "Russia’s aggression in Crimea,” which means to replace the current Russian government by "a free democratic state with the rule of law”: i.e., overthrowing it in order to establish that very thing, "a free democratic state with the rule of law.” He says that, "The issue of Crimea’s jurisdiction is within the competence of only one subject of international law — the owner of that territory, namely Ukraine. Only this subject, and no one else, has necessary legal rights to change this territory’s jurisdiction.” And, since Ukraine did not sell Crimea to Russia, Russia “stole” it from Ukraine. He sees the issue of Crimea as being not an issue of people, but of land: the land-area of Crimea, which Russia “stole” from Ukraine — that Russia stole the land and everything in it and under it and on it, including its residents.
Saudis Resume Terror-Bombing Yemen
by Stephen Lendman
Saudis operate like America and Israel. They say one thing. They do another. They represent pure evil. After Wednesday's announced end to terror-bombing, Saudis resumed it on Thursday. It didn't surprise. Rogue states operate this way. Saudi despotism ranks with the world's worst. State terror is official policy - at home and in international relations.
Riyadh's so-called political solution involves continued terror-war on 25 million Yemenis.
Reports indicate airstrikes targeted Taiz in Yemen's southwest. Fighting continues in other areas - notably in the southern port city of Aden.
Argentina: A Case Study of Israel’s Zionist-Wall Street Destabilization Campaign
James Petras
"The bombing of the Argentine Jewish Community Center"
Introduction
A recent article by Jorge Elbaum, the former executive director of DAIA (Delegation for Argentine Jewish Associations), the principle Argentine Jewish umbrella groups, published in the Buenos Aires daily Pagina 12, provides a detailed account of the damaging links between the State of Israel, US Wall Street speculators and local Argentine Zionists in government and out. Elbaum describes how their efforts have been specifically directed toward destabilizing the incumbent center-left government of President Cristina Fernandez, while securing exorbitant profits for a Zionist Wall Street speculator, Paul Singer of Elliott Management as well as undermining a joint Iranian-Argentine investigation of the 1994 terrorist bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires.
Elbaum’s article was written in response to the death of Alberto Nisman, a Zionist zealot and chief government prosecutor in the terrorist bombing investigation for over 20 years.
Efforts to Restart Sham Israeli/Palestinian Peace Talks
by Stephen Lendman
Palestinians never had a peace partner in Israel, America or other Western countries - less than ever now with fascist US and Israeli lunatics running things.
They're all take and no give. They don't negotiate. They demand.
They reject peace. They want unconditional Palestinian surrender.
They want endless wars and instability. They blame victims for their high crimes. Netanyahu said he'll never allow a Palestinian state - except perhaps a rump, isolated meaningless one on worthless scrubland surrounded by belligerent Israeli forces.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Death of the Republic
by Ellen Brown
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government. — Article IV, Section 4, US Constitution
A republican form of government is one in which power resides in elected officials representing the citizens, and government leaders exercise power according to the rule of law. In The Federalist Papers, James Madison defined a republic as “a government which derives all its powers directly or indirectly from the great body of the people . . . .”
On April 22, 2015, the Senate Finance Committee approved a bill to fast-track the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a massive trade agreement that would override our republican form of government and hand judicial and legislative authority to a foreign three-person panel of corporate lawyers.
