Ukraine: Fascist Dictatorship Masquerading As Democracy
by Stephen Lendman
For the first time since WW II, overt fascists hold real power in Europe. Radicalized ultranationalists. Anti-Semites. Hate-mongers.
Cold-blooded killers. Whitewashing high crimes. A puppet regime. America's newest colony.
Mocking democratic values. Violating fundamental rule of law principles. Unaccountably.
Western leaders won't explain. Nor media scoundrels. Hard truths are buried. Big Lies substitute.
Our Beautiful Earth is Dying
by Raymond Ponzini
Those who own and control the banking systems and corporations, those who control the governments and fight the wars for profit, those who are driven by greed and power madness are destroying our earth. The corporate capitalist paradigm of endless extraction from the planet and every person and every living thing will continue until the ecosystem is irreparably damaged and can no longer sustain life.
The destruction of our planet began with the detonation of the first atomic bomb. The psychopaths who rule over poor enslaved humankind and their fragile beautiful planet, care only for power and profit. They have since tested over a thousands atomic bombs showering mostly the northern hemisphere with radiation, which has contributed to cancer and birth defects.
Risking War with Russia
by Stephen Lendman
Previous articles explained. Propaganda wars precede hot ones. Deception, popular fiction and Big Lies launch them.
Intense Russia bashing rages. Risking international peace, stability and security.
Last month in Brisbane, Obama irresponsibly called Russia "a threat to the world." US-led NATO and Israel alone menace world peace, stability and security.
Russia's Foreign Ministry commented, saying:
"The latest NATO fact sheet on the so-called problem issues of its relations with Russia is a fresh attempt to present the bloc’s policy as the only one possible and to justify its efforts to strengthen its military capability and military presence in close proximity to Russia’s borders."
Global Peace and Conflict Management: Power Makes America Powerless
Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD.
The global warriors have infested mankind with tyranny and transgression. The resulting corruption, cruelty and global disorder are widespread across the Iraq-Syrian war zones and go unchallenged. All tyrants get corrupted by their own tyranny. America needs to be wise, not a warrior empire in global political affairs. The US economy is bankrupt because of the decade-old wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Could America be using the myth of “power” to escape the imperatives of historical change process? The dialectical materialism shares a concept of power that is exhaustible in global affairs. Late Professor Hans Morgenthau (Politics Among Nations) was a realist visionary to imagine a different America than what it is today. American leaders are implying “power” in absolute terms throughout the Iraq-Syrian sectarian warfare. To Morgenthau, the concept of ‘power’ is a condition related to the psychology of mind. In a nation state, leaders use their mind to transform the vested power into political acts. Morgenthau was not just an individual but an institution of thoughts and proactive vision to substantiate political understanding in a world torn apart by greed, ignorance and political wickedness. So, he offered proactive intuition and leadership in revitalizing the essence of realism in politics and to search for peace and global relationships. Perhaps Morgenthau never imagined an America - the historically conscientious and enriched in moral and intellectual values could become an intellectual and moral wasteland devoid of basic precepts and tenets in real world political affairs. America is not what it used to be in search of its own freedom. Wickedness and piety cannot be combined in one leadership characteristics.
US and Israel: Partners in High Crimes Against Peace
by Stephen Lendman
No nations threaten world peace and security more than America and Israel. Partnering in each other's high crimes.
Including Israel's summer Gaza war. Amnesty International called Washington no "uninvolved bystander."
As Israel's largest weapons and munitions supplier. Sharing responsibility for unspeakable crimes.
Genocide by any standard. Mass-murdering Palestinians. Turning large parts of Gaza to rubble.
Restocking Israel with 3,000 smart bombs. Precision-guided for greater accuracy. With more effective killing power.
Used in Operation Protective Edge. Intended for Israel's next war. Maybe soon than most people think. Billions of dollars in annual military aid make anything possible.
Assad Affirms Syrian Sovereign Independence
by Stephen Lendman
Syria is proudly independent. Assad affirmed it forthrightly. Intends maintaining it. Refusing US-controlled puppet state status.
Unlike other regional governments. Ones in other parts of the world. Sacrificing their sovereign independence.
Betraying their people. Mocking legitimate governance. For special benefits they derive.
In an interview with Paris Match magazine, Assad was asked if he feels responsible for over three and a half years of war.
Since its early days, "we have been facing terrorism," he said. "It is true that there were demonstrations, but they were not large in number."
Killer Cops
by Stephen Lendman
Cops in America kill with impunity. On average over once a day. FBI data showed 461 so-called "justifiable homicides" last year.
A euphemism most often for cold-blooded murder. A likely way undercount. Based on voluntary police reports.
No separate federal database exists. No interest in compiling one. No way to check local reports for accuracy.
Including how often white cops kill people of color. Usually unarmed/nonthreatening Black or Latino youths.
US House Declares Cold War on Russia
by Stephen Lendman
Lunatics infest Washington. Crazies. Hardline extremists. Criminals. Lawless fascists by any standard. Dominating both parties.
Mocking legitimate governance. Making policy irresponsibly.
Including homeland police state laws. Legislation serving monied interests exclusively.
At the expense of beneficial social change. Serving all Americans equitably. Democratically. Honorably. According to international and constitutional law.
Appropriating trillions of dollars for corporate handouts. Illegitimate ones. Trillions more for naked aggression. Targeting one sovereign independent state after another.
Challenging Israel's House Demolition Policy
by Stephen Lendman
Lawless by any standard. Ruthlessness writ large. Targeting Palestinians. Not Jews. Imagine the following.
Israel accuses a Palestinian family member or apartment building resident of violent criminality. With or without corroborating evidence.
It doesn't matter. The alleged offender automatically called a "terrorist." House demolition follows.
Collectively punishing everyone in it. Including the alleged offender. Even if innocent.
In 2005, Israel ceased punitive house demolitions. Deeming them counterproductive. Not achieving their claimed purpose - "deterrence." Creating justifiable hatred and hostility.
Whitey to Whitey: Yes it's us--y'all need to change, and that Right Soon
by: Daniel Patrick Welch
White Americans have essentially never internalized the Kerner Report. Assembled by Lyndon Johnson to address what was laughably referred to as the Negro Problem, the panel very quickly saw that this was a joke. There is no Negro Problem in the US, but rather a white people problem. FIFTY years ago (let that sink in), it opined, "Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black and one white--separate and unequal...Discrimination and segregation have long permeated much of American life; they now threaten the future of every American." The report explained that the race riots were rooted in segregation, inadequate housing, poor access to quality education, systematic police violence, and labor market exclusion. For these factors, the report concluded, "White racism is essentially responsible."
