Malaysia Becomes Angry About Exclusion from MH17 Investigation
Eric Zuesse
Now nearly five months after the Malaysian Airlines MH17 passenger plane got shot down in Ukraine (killing all 298 onboard), Malaysians are going public with their anger about having been excluded from the investigation-team that is to write the official report on the disaster (or possibly mass-murder).
The Malaysian Insider headlined November 26th, “Why is Malaysia not part of MH17 investigation, asks group”; and, two days later, Ulson Gunnar at New Eastern Outlook and Global Research bannered, “MH17: Malaysia’s Barring from Investigation Reeks of Cover-up.”
Ukraine: Waging War During Economic Crisis Conditions
by Stephen Lendman
Ukraine is an economic basket case and then some. Illegitimate US installed putschists wage naked aggression while effectively bankrupt. More on this below.
On November 28, Russia's OSCE representative Andrei Kelin stressed resolving Ukrainian crisis conditions diplomatically.
Observing Geneva and Minsk terms. Noting Ukraine's national security and defense council spokesman Andriy Lysenko calling ceasefire one of the most important Minsk protocol requirements.

Here are summaries of recent news-reports about Ukraine, in the German Economic News, or Deutsche Wirtschaft Nachrichten:

NATO Gives Russia No Guarantee that Ukraine’s Membership-Application Will Be Rejected
German Economic News | Published: 11/19/14 23:35 clock | 38 Comments
NATO will not guarantee Russia that Ukraine is not yet acceptable to join the military alliance. Russia is demanding such a guarantee - apparently from the bad experience that Moscow has with NATO's eastward expansion.

German Economic News | Published: 20/11/14 00:32 clock | 117 Comments
China and Russia have agreed to strengthen their bilateral military cooperation. In addition, joint naval exercises will be held in the future to limit US influence in the Asia-Pacific region. Critics warn of a "new Cold War.”
Israeli Prosecutorial Overreach
by Stephen Lendman
According to former US Attorney General Robert Jackson:
"The prosecutor has more control over life, liberty, and reputation than any other person in America. His discretion is tremendous…"
"While the prosecutor at his best is one of the most beneficent
forces in our society, when he acts from malice or other base motives, he is one of the worst."
Prosecutorial misconduct is all too common. Inadequate means of preventing and punishing wrongdoing persists. Or interest in doing so.
Trials are compromised. Wrongful convictions follow. Unfair sentences compound injustice. Disciplinary action is rare.
Egyptian-Style Justice
by Stephen Lendman
On Saturday, Egyptian Judge Mahmud Kamel al-Rashidi acquitted Hosni Mubarak and seven top security commanders of murdering hundreds of 2011 Taahrir Square protesters.
Sowing chaos. Creating a security vacuum. During 18 revolutionary days. In clashes with police. From January 25 - February 11, 2011.
Despite clear evidence proving guilt. Because of what he called a technicality. A lack of jurisdiction. Mubarak's lengthy public service. His "constitutional legitimacy."
"To rule for or against him after he has become old will be left to history and the Judge of Judges, the Righteous and the Justice (God), who will question him about his rule."
Israel Attacks Gaza Border Areas
by Stephen Lendman
Doing so breaches August ceasefire terms. Not Israel's first violation. Nor its last.
It egregiously flouted all agreed on terms straightaway. Complicit PA officials remain silent. Dismissive of horrendous Gazan suffering.
Diverting half or more of October's so-called donor conference raised $5.4 billion. For unspecified budget purposes. Rife with corruption.
Giving Israel total authority over Gaza reconstruction. Controlling what enters or leaves. Palestinians have no say. Over virtually everything affecting their lives and welfare.
Washington Covertly Arming Ukraine
by Stephen Lendman
Repeated administration/Pentagon Big Lies claim otherwise. Saying only non-lethal aid supplied.
Including communications equipment. Body armor. Night vision goggles. Humvees. Radar. Counter-mortar detection units. Binoculars. Small boats. Various other gear.
Kiev is infested with CIA, FBI, US special forces and various other so-called Washington advisors. Directly involved in aiding, abetting and directing Donbas fighting.
Pentagon spokesman Admiral John Kirby lied saying:
"Nothing has changed about the non-lethal assistance that we continue to flow to Ukrainian armed forces and security forces."
Washington "continue(s) to focus on non-lethal assistance…" False! More on this below.
Trigger-Happy Israelis: Profile of State-Sponsored Terrorism
by Stephen Lendman
The latest incident involves Italian solidarity activist Prodo Corsi
A previous article discussed Amnesty International's (AI) report titled "Trigger-Happy: Israel's Use of Excessive Force in the West Bank." It begins saying:
"Out of nowhere many soldiers jumped out and ambushed Samir. They shot him first in the leg, yet he managed to run away towards the village."
"But how far can an injured child run? Twenty, maybe 30, metres? They could have easily arrested him, especially when he was injured, but instead they shot him in the back with live ammunition."
"To me, this is premeditated murder." Killing 16-year old Samir was no random incident. Israel's entire history reflects endless bloodshed. Crimes of war, against humanity and genocide. Ongoing for decades. Trigger-happy and then some. The latest incident involves Italian solidarity activist Prodo Corsi.
Over-the-Top Israeli Policies
Stephen Lendman
Israel is a serial lawbreaker. A state sponsor of terrorism. A criminal enterprise. "(A) state of child killers and land robbers," according to one European parliamentarian.
Multiple incidents occur daily. Including attacking Palestinians without just cause. Invading their communities.
Destroying their property. Kidnapping Palestinian men, women and children. Political arrests and imprisonments. Cold-blooded murder.
Some incidents are more outrageous than others. Many are crimes of war and against humanity. Ruthlessness defines Israeli policy.
America operates the same way. Both countries want a special Fourth Geneva Convention blocked. For good reason.
Genocide and THE THANKSGIVING MYTH
By S. Brian Willson
“Enlightened and Christian Warfare in the 19th Century–Massacre of Indian Women and Children in Idaho” published in “Frank Leslie’s Illustrated,” August 1868.
The Defining and Enabling Experience of Our “Civilization”
As we again plan to celebrate what US “Americans”call Thanksgiving, let us pause for a moment of reflection. Let us recognize that accounts of the first Thanksgiving are mythological, and that the holiday is actually a grotesque celebration of our arrogant ethnocentrism built on genocide.
