Anti-Assad Committed Atrocities
by Stephen Lendman
They repeat with disturbing regularity. Most often Assad's wrongfully blamed. Not this time.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) noticed. Usually it points fingers the wrong way. Rare exceptions prove the rule.
On October 11, it headlined "Executions, Unlawful Killings, and Hostage Taking by Opposition Forces in Latakia Countryside." More on HRW's report below.
Washington bears full responsibility. Syria is Obama's war. Cutthroat killers comprise his proxy army. Complicit allies supply their own brigades. They imported from dozens of countries. There's nothing civil about Syria's war. Assad's battling foreign invaders. He's acting responsibly doing so.
Palestinians' Right to Resist
by Stephen Lendman
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states "(e)veryone has the right to life, liberty and security of person." No one has the right to deny them.
Resisting lawless occupation is universally recognized. Palestinians may use "all necessary means at their disposal" to do so. More on that below.
Consider daily life. Longstanding militarized occupation is ruthless. It's criminal. It's unrelenting. It's suffocating. It's vicious. It denies Palestinians fundamental human and civil rights.
Collective punishment is policy. So is economic strangulation. Free expression, assembly and movement are denied.
Anti-Monsanto Activism
by Stephen Lendman
Monsanto perhaps is the world's most hated corporation. Considering the competition, it's not easy taking top honors.
GMO foods and ingredients are toxic. They're unsafe to eat. They're hazardous to human health. They should be banned. Monsanto's the leading producer.
GMOs poison people for profit. Independent studies explain. Agribusiness giants want all animal and vegetable life forms patented.
They want worldwide food control. Getting it means everything produced for human consumption won't be safe to eat. Last May, tens of thousands of people marched against Monsanto.
They did so in dozens of countries worldwide. They want consumer protections enacted. They want safe food to eat.
They want governments assuring it. They want GMO foods and ingredients labeled. Ideally they want them banned.Former Monsanto executives run the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). An obvious conflict of interest exists.
Global Financial Architecture and Economic Systems on Verge of Collapse
by Cosmic Convergence Research Group
The foundation for the original financial architecture and economic systems of the modern era was laid over the last two to three centuries.
Much of the actual architecture and various systems were designed, engineered and constructed during a time that would be considered the Stone Age when compared to the Information Age of 2013. Herein lies the crux of the matter.
Way back in the days there were relatively few stock and bond exchanges, as well as limited currency and commodity trading. Of course, real estate investments have always been around but certainly not in the form of the Real Estate Investment Trusts, Real Estate Limited Partnerships, and Collateralized Debt Obligations that we see today.
Over the last century there has been exponential growth experienced in every single market across the globe. Equity, bond, currency, commodity, real estate, derivative to name the primaries. Each of their original trading platforms were built to accommodate a vastly different world. You could say that the foundation specs were quite minimal, especially relative to the 21st century.

Global Warming: Causing Worldwide Weather Apocalypse
by Cosmic Convergence Research Group
Who is promoting the Global Cooling disinfo?
Could it be the geo-engineers and their paymasters?
Global Climate Change does not accurately describe the planetary predicament; an ongoing worldwide atmospheric apocalypse does. This global phenomenon is manifesting as localized weather cataclysms, which are directly caused by a radical trending toward global warming, NOT global cooling.
While the manufactured debate rages between those who subscribe to Global Warming and the more recent adherents to Global Cooling, no one can question that Global Climate Change (GCC) has been upon us for many years. The irrefutable evidence points directly to GCC showing up on every continent on the planet, and in some places with a ferocity and relentlessness never seen before.
In fact, there is so much evidence that categorically demonstrates a radical shift in many of the traditional weather patterns around the world that both extremes are touted as proof for both global warming and cooling. An objective, twenty-year meteorological retrospective reflects a violence and volatility never experienced in recorded weather history.
The massive body of scientific evidence, which proves Global Warming, grows daily!

Obama at the UN General Assembly: Five Years a Zionist Lackey, Fifteen Minutes an American President
James Petras
Introduction
Obama’s rhetorical exercise in ‘peace talk’ at the United Nations General Assembly impressed few delegations and even fewer Americans: Far more eloquent are his five years of wars, military interventions, cyber-spying, drone murders, military coups and the merciless prosecution of patriotic truth tellers. If his ‘peace message’ fell flat, the explicit affirmations of imperial prerogatives, threats of military interventions and over two dozen (25) references to Israel as a ‘strategic ally’, confirmed the suspicions and fears that Obama was preparing for even more deadly wars.
Nobel Hypocrisy Repeats
by Stephen Lendman
Nobel Committee members broke their own rules. Peace Prize nominations "may be submitted by any person who meets the nominat(ing) criteria."
Candidates eligible to win "are those persons or organizations nominated by qualified individuals."
Nominations "must be postmarked no later than February 1 each year. Nominations postmarked and received after this date are included in the following year's discussions."
On October 11, Nobel Committee members awarded the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) its 2013 Peace Prize.
It reflects its involvement in destroying Syria's chemical weapons. It's unclear when OPCW was nominated. It was well beyond the February 1 deadlined. The organization has done little so far in Syria to deserve honoring. Its mandate has nothing to do with restoring peace.
ReThink 9/11: Revealing Truths, Dispelling Lies
by Stephen Lendman
ReThink911 is a new 9/11 truth initiative. More on it below.
9/11 is the Big Lie of our time. Truth is its mortal enemy. Revealing it is vitally important. Spreading it lets many others know.
Growing numbers of architects, engineers, physicists, pilots, former military and intelligence officers, and other members of the public reject the official 9/11 myth.
They do so for good reason. It's a bald-faced lie. It's by far the most harmful one in modern times. Wars on humanity followed. They continue unabated. They risk the unthinkable. WW III is possible.
In 10 books, numerous articles and lectures, David Ray Griffin provided exhaustive evidence too important to ignore. He revealed truths. He dispelled lies. He did so courageously.
Obamacare Compromises Privacy
by Stephen Lendman
The 1974 Privacy Act governs the collection, maintenance, use and dissemination of personal information maintained by federal agencies.
It prohibits disclosing it without written consent, stating:
"No (federal) agency shall disclose any record which is contained in a system of records by any means of communication to any person, or to another agency, except pursuant to a written request by, or with the prior written consent of, the individual to whom the record pertains."
Yellen's Fed Assures Business As Usual
by Stephen Lendman
On Wednesday, Obama nominated Janet Yellen as Fed chair. She's currently vice chairwoman. Senate confirmation is certain. It's rubber-stamp.
She'll succeed Ben Bernanke. On January 31, his second four-year term ends.
In its hundred year history, Yellen will be the first female Fed chair. According to the Central Bank Directory (CBD), 17 others head central banks globally. CBD lists 177 from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
Yellen may be the richest central bank head. Her reported investments were at least $4.8 million in 2012. Estimates range up to around $13 million. A year later, her wealth may be millions higher. She's privy to inside information. She helps make it. She's able to take full advantage. So can other Fed governors. They're all millionaires.
