Munich's March to War with Russia
by Stephen Lendman
This year's Security Conference features a shocking but unsurprising drumbeat of anti-Russian hate-mongering.
RT International called proceedings a Russian "hate fest." An outrageous display of US-led Western cynicism, Russia-bashing, and Big Lies heading things toward East/West confrontation.
Vice President Joe Biden shames the office he holds. He's a caricature of a high US official and then some.
"Europe is the cornerstone of US engagement around the world," he said. Code language for US-dominated NATO global aggression.
Russia bashing followed. Biden lied claiming Moscow aims "to redraw the map of Europe by force." Seeks "to divide Ukraine between east and west."
Putin v. Obama and Netanyahu on Iran's Nuclear Program
by Stephen Lendman
Iran's nuclear program is entirely peaceful. No evidence suggests a military component. False accusations persist anyway.
Proposed congressional legislation imposes more sanctions if Tehran fails to agree to outrageous US demands.
Ones no nation should accept. Intended to subvert its legitimate program. Multiple P5+1 negotiating rounds haven't resolved things. Nor are they likely to as long as Washington remains hardline. On Sunday, John Kerry gave Tehran an ultimatum.
Saying "the only chance I can see of an extension at this point in time would be that you really have the outlines of the agreement but if we're not able to make the fundamental decisions that have to be made over the course of the next weeks, literally, I think it would be impossible to extend."
Russian Aggression: The Big Lie Blasted Worldwide Ad Nauseam
by Stephen Lendman
Try imagining one dollar for each time Western officials and presstitute media scoundrels screamed "Russian aggression" daily since US planned, directed and implemented Kiev aggression on Donbas began last April.
Easily enough for round-trip first class travel from any point of departure to any destination several times over.
Plus ground transportation, 5-star hotel accommodations, first-class meals, miscellaneous expenses, with enough left for souvenir trip remembrances.
Big Lies have a life of their own. Circulate worldwide with electronic ease. Printed multiple times daily in Western publications.
Russian aggression, Russian hoards, Russian threats, big bad Russian bear comments infest so-called Western journalism like crabgrass besets lawns.
Sami Al-Arian: Deported, Free at Last
by Stephen Lendman
South Florida University Professor Sami Al-Arian was one of thousands of US political prisoners. Outrageously treated.
Hounded for years for his faith, ethnicity, political activism and support for Palestinian rights. On February 20, 2003, he was arrested and imprisoned.
Falsely accused of backing organizations fronting for Palestinian Islamic Jihad. A 1997 wrongfully designated State Department Foreign Terrorist Organization at the behest of Israel. Despite his academic excellence, numerous awards, impeccable credentials and tenured status, South Florida University president Judy Genshaft fired him. Succumbing to Israeli Lobby pressure.
U.S. Military Expert Shoots Down Washington’s Weapons-to-Ukraine Argument
Eric Zuesse
Michael Kofman isn’t just a defense expert; he’s specialized in the precise region where Ukraine is located. He spent years managing professional military education programs and military-to-military engagements for senior officers at National Defense University. There he served as a subject matter expert and adviser to military and government officials on issues in Russia/Eurasia. And, now, he is telling the Brookings Institution war-hawks, and its insider ‘experts’ whose expertise is about getting America into invasions but not getting us out, and is certainly not about “winning” anything more than defense contracts — he is telling them that their arguments for getting us into sending weapons to Ukraine as our “proxy” against Russia, is a shockingly stupid and counterproductive idea for everyone but America’s armaments-makers.
Failed Ukraine Peace Talks
by Stephen Lendman
Call it preordained. It didn't surprise despite typical diplomatic rhetoric following Friday's Moscow talks. More on this below.
Washington's dirty hands operate everywhere overtly and covertly. Failure was manipulated behind the scenes.
Obama wants war, not peace. He wants Donbas democracy crushed. Hardline fascist rule throughout Ukraine.
All former Soviet republics and Warsaw Pact countries incorporated into NATO. Ukraine most of all. Washington is using it as a dagger targeting Russia's heartland.
America's ultimate goal is regime change. Ousting Putin. Replacing his government with pro-Western stooges.
America gaining control over Russia's vast land mass and resources. Plundering them for profit.
NATO Heading for War with Russia?
by Stephen Lendman
US-dominated NATO is the greatest threat to world peace, stability and security. Washington wants regime change in Russia.
Economic and political wars rage. Ineffective in achieving America's aims. Russia is strong and resilient.
Putin is a master chess player. Obama is buffoon-like in comparison. His neocon infested administration threatens world peace.
Lunatics influencing policies promote permanent wars. Challenge Moscow irresponsibly.
Use Kiev's military as a proxy US force against Russia. Getting battered in the process. More on this below.
Deputy NATO Secretary-General/former US Defense Secretary for International Affairs Alexander Vershbow effectively runs the organization.
He played a major role in expanding NATO. Including outside Europe. Establishing new bases in Central Asia. Surrounding Russia with US military strength.
He calls the Russian Federation "more of an adversary than a partner." Vows "NATO enlargement will continue."
Merkel and Hollande for Peace in Ukraine: Hold the Cheers
by Stephen Lendman
On February 5, Tass headlined "France, Germany plan to work out new agreement on Ukrainian conflict settlement - Hollande." Merkel and Hollande are in Kiev on Thursday. So is John Kerry. Discussing escalated war, not peace.
Don't expect divergence from their NATO allies. Saying one thing. Pursuing another. More on this below. Tass quoted Hollande saying "(t)ogether with Angela Merket we have decided to take a new initiative."
"Later today in the afternoon, we will depart for Kiev, where we will make a new proposal on the conflict settlement bas(ed) on the territorial integrity of Ukraine."
Israeli Gaza War Crimes Investigation
by Stephen Lendman
Last August, Human Rights Council (HRC) President Baudelaire Ndong Ella announced the formation of an "independent, international commission of inquiry" into war crimes committed during Israel's Operation Protective Edge (OPE).
International human rights law expert Professor William Schabas was appointed to chair a three-person panel. His special focus is genocide.
On January 30, Israel's Geneva-based UN envoy, Eviator Manor, outrageously accused him of a "blatant conflict of interest."
A typical Israeli stunt. Demanded his immediate dismissal. Months earlier, Israel refused to cooperate with HRC's investigation. Outrageously called it a "kangaroo court" proceeding.
Chomsky & Kissinger Agree: Avoid the Historic Tragedy of Ukraine
By Kevin Zeese
The New York Times reported Tuesday that the Obama administration is considering sending more weapons to Ukraine — $3 billion worth. The Times reports: “Secretary of State John Kerry, who plans to visit Kiev on Thursday [Feb. 5], is open to new discussions about providing lethal assistance, as is Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, officials said.”
This follows Defense News reporting that this spring the United States will be sending troops to train the Ukrainian National Guard and commence the shipping of U.S.-funded armored vehicles. The funding for this is coming from the congressionally-authorized Global Security Contingency Fund, which was requested by the Obama administration in the fiscal year 2015 budget to help train and equip the armed forces of allies around the globe.
