US Orchestrated Coup Plot in Venezuela?
by Stephen Lendman
Washington spent Chavez's entire tenure trying to oust him. Nearly succeeded in April 2002.
Overwhelming public support foiled Bush's scheme. Chavez knew he was marked for death. Obama succeeded in killing him.
His dirty hands orchestrated weeks of violence last year. Another regime change scheme failed. Economic war on Venezuela rages. Ongoing since 2013.
Obama wants President Nicholas Marduro ousted. Venezuela's huge oil reserves plundered. Bolivarianism crushed. State-owned enterprises privatized. Predatory capitalism replacing economic and social justice.
West Intends More Heavy Weapons for Kiev's Battered Military
by Stephen Lendman
Throughout months of conflict, Washington covertly supplied Kiev's military with lethal weapons. So did various EU countries.
Reports indicate new supplies coming. More on this below. Donbas self-defense forces keep battering Kiev's military. Supported by Western mercenaries and US forces.
Fort Russ reports "panic in Debaltsevo." Kiev parliament deputy Taras Pastukh involved in fighting issued the following statement:
"Greetings from the still-Ukrainian Debaltsevo. We just repelled an attack on our base camp."
"Earlier it could barely be reached by artillery, but today enemy infantry had arrived. The National Guard had left the city, thus leaving us open to attack."
Netanyahu: Symbol of Rogue Governance
by Stephen Lendman
Arguably he's Israel's worst ever prime minister. Disgracing the office he holds. A fascist by any standard. Exceeding Sharonian evil.
Even money to remain prime minister after mid-March elections. Israelis are as out-of-touch as Americans.
Mindlessly supporting what demands rejection. Why they put up with Netanyahu they'll have to explain. A war criminal multiple times over.
So-called BibiTours charges remain outstanding. Unresolved because Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein seems intent on helping him remain prime minister, Haaretz contends.
Its editors state:
"This behavior is seen in a series of actions and blunders, the most recent and blatant of which was submitted to the High Court of Justice, as a response to a petition against Weinstein's decision to suffice with an 'examination' of the suspicions against Netanyahu over the funding of trips and transfer of funds for other purposes when he was head of the opposition."
Kiev Junta Plans Escalated War
by Stephen Lendman
On Saturday, Contact Group representatives met in Minsk. Swiss diplomat Heidi Tagliavini represented the OSCE.
Russian ambassador to Ukraine, Mikhail Zurabov, represented Moscow. Former President Leonid Kuchma represented Kiev.
Donetsk People's Republic (DRP) parliament Speaker Denis Pushilin and Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) chief negotiator Vladislav Deinego participated.
Talks accomplished nothing. Kiev wants war, not peace. More on this below.
The Ideology of the New Ukraine
Eric Zuesse
The ideology of the new, post-coup, Ukraine, is the ideology of its leaders. Above all, Dmitriy Yarosh, the founder of Right Sector, is that; but so too are Andrei Beletsky, the founder of Azov Battalion; and Andriy Parubiy and Oleh Tyahnybok, the co-founders of the “Social Nationalist Party of Ukraine,” the Party which, at the CIA’s urging, changed its name in 2004 to “Freedom” or “Svoboda,” in order to sell it better in the West. All of these leaders are leaders in this new Government, but not at its nominal top, because the U.S. regime doesn’t want the ties of its new Government to Hitler’s Nazi Party to be so obvious to Americans or to Europeans — it would be bad PR, especially because the United States lost so many men fighting against Hitler’s forces, and against the fascisms and racisms of Tojo and of Mussolini, all of which (and especially Hitler’s views) are basically boiled down here in the statement quoted below (only replacing “Ukraine” where Hitler said “German,” because this is a, not a member of the original nazi party, which was the National Socialist Party of Germany).
Medical Neglect in Israel's Gulag
by Stephen Lendman
Conditions for Palestinians in Israeli prisons are horrific by any standard. Some of the worst anywhere.
Including children treated like adults. Brutalizing longterm isolation for any reason or none at all.
Severe overcrowding. Poor ventilation and sanitation. Inadequate clothing.
Wooden planks with thin filthy mattresses and blankets. Inadequate food in terms of quality, quantity and conformance with dietary requirements.
Restricted or no access to family members, friends or counsel. Poor or denied medical care when most needed.
Nuland at Brookings
by Stephen Lendman
Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland is one of many hardcore neocons infesting Obama's administration.
On January 27, she spoke at Washington's Brookings Institution. An elitist think tank supporting wealth, power and privilege. An establishment organization representing America's dark side.
Deploring peace. Promoting war. Featuring speakers like Nuland discussing "unity in challenging times. Building on transatlantic resolve." More on her comments below.
A previous article explained her hardcore background. A foreign service official for Democrat and Republican administrations.
No Breakthroughs in Syrian Peace Talks
by Stephen Lendman
None were expected. Conflict continues. Ongoing since March 2011. Syria is Obama's war. There's nothing civil about it.
Death squad insurgents are US proxies. Recruited, armed, funded, trained and directed by CIA operatives and Pentagon special forces.
So-called IS, Nusra Front, Al Qaeda and other takfiri terrorists are imported from dozens of countries.
Longstanding US/Israeli plans call for regime change. Replacing Assad with pro-Western stooge governance.
Mobilized & Winning, Now It’s Time to Escalate, The ‘Movement of Movements’ against Fast Tracking the TPP has the power to win
by Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers
Since the President’s State of the Union message where he announced his plan to push corporate trade agreements and seek Fast Track trade promotion authority, the movement against Fast Track, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and globalized trade has grown. Instead of the bump in support that Obama expected after the State of the Union, opposition has increased inside Congress and in the grass roots.
Heading for War with Russia?
by Stephen Lendman
Ukraine is the epicenter of possible European war. Ongoing events should scare everyone.
Kiev's war on Donbas rages. Area freedom fighters continue routing its military. It's desperate for more Western support.
Wanting greater numbers of US-led NATO boots on the ground than are already involved in fighting.
Three recent regime false flags didn't achieve Kiev's objective. Perhaps something major is planned. A Kiev 9/11.
Big enough to embroil Europe in war. Meaning East/West confrontation. America v. Russia. Possible nuclear war.
