Undermining Russian/Syrian Peace Deal
by Stephen Lendman
On Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov proposed the following:
● "putting (Syrian) chemical weapons storages under international control;"
● Syria agreeing to destroy them;
● signing the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC); and
● joining the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
By evening, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem responded positively, saying:
Monday "we held a round of very fruitful negotiations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and he put forward an initiative regarding chemical weapons."
"Already in the evening we accepted Russia’s initiative." It's designed to "pull the rug from under the feet of American aggression." Moallem said Assad agrees with Moscow. He accepts its proposal. He'll do everything possible to avert war.
Testimonies Prove Israel Tortures Palestinian Children
by Stephen Lendman
On August 22, B'Tselem headlined "Abuse and torture in interrogations of dozens of Palestinian minors in the Israel Police Etzion Facility."
More on that below. Previous articles discussed torturing, abusing, and otherwise mistreating Palestinian children young as 10. Sometimes younger. In July, Israel arrested and terrorized a five-year old boy.
Family members are threatened not to intervene. They're beaten if they try. Children are violently abused.
They're blindfolded, shackled and beaten. They're threatened with much worse. Sexual threats and abuse are common. So are electro-shocks and much more.
Nothing's too outrageous to employ. Children are interrogated without counsel. They're treated like adults. They face wrongful charges. It doesn't matter.
Obama's War on Syria Delayed, Not Deterred
by Stephen Lendman
John Kerry's stumble delayed Obama's war. It's not averted. He intends to wage it. He'll do it later, not now.
In London, Kerry said Assad "could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week. Turn it over, all of it, without delay, and allow a full and total accounting for that."
"But he isn't about to do it, and it can't be done, obviously," he added.
A previous article said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called Kerry's bluff. He's going all out to prevent war. So are Syrian officials.
From Moscow, Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem welcomed Russia's proposal. It calls for placing Syria's chemical weapons under international control, agreeing to their destruction, and signing the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).
Obama's Rage for War on Syria
by Stephen Lendman
Obama's hell bent for war. He intends lawless aggression. A separate article called his plans delayed. They're not deterred.
Syria deplores war. It wants peaceful conflict resolution. So do important world leaders.
Overwhelming public sentiment at home and abroad wants peace. People everywhere know they're being lied to.
Syria threatens no one. No evidence links it to chemical weapons use any time throughout months of conflict.
Insurgents used them multiple times. More on that below. Don't expect US officials or media scoundrels to explain.
The Shortest Path to Peace in Syria
By Nicola Nasser*
Because “defensive alliances which have fixed and limited objectives are often more durable,” the “Syria-Iran alliance has survived” more than three decades of unwavering and insistent US – led military, economic, diplomatic and media campaign to dismantle it, but it is still enduring “because it has been primarily defensive in nature” and “aimed largely at neutralizing … Israeli capabilities and preventing American encroachment in the Middle East.”
This was the conclusion of the professor of International Relations at Webster University Geneva, Switzerland, Jubin M. Goodarzi, in his 2006 book, “Syria and Iran: Diplomatic Alliance and Power Politics in the Middle East.”
Professor Goodarzi’s conclusion is worth highlighting amid the thick smoke screen of “chemical weapons,” “civil war,” “responsibility to protect” and the “dictatorship – democracy” rhetoric of the US – Israeli propaganda, which is now misleading the world public opinion away from the core fact that the current Syrian conflict is the inevitable outcome of the 45 - year old Israeli occupation of the Syrian Arab Golan Heights in 1967.
Israel, protected by what President Barak Obama repeatedly describe as the “unshakable” support of the United States, is still maintaining its military occupation of the Golan as a “bargaining chip” to enforce upon Syria, irrespective of the regime and who is ruling in Damascus, the fait accompli which was created forcefully by the creation of the State of Israel in Palestine in 1948.
The US support to dictating the resulting fait accompli to Syria manifested itself first by empowering Israel by US arms and tax payer money to gain the “bargaining chip” of the Golan Heights, then by protecting the ongoing Israeli occupation of this Syrian territory.
EPA okays BPA, disses public’s right-to-know
By Rady Ananda
Among several “chemicals of concern” recently removed from a list of proposed regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency, Bisphenol A, a neurotoxin and endocrine disruptor that also damages DNA, has been banned in several other nations and in eleven US states.
BPA is used in making plastics from bottles to food packaging, and in thermal receipt paper. It’s found on paper money, and in epoxy resin used in food cans and textiles. Though BPA penetrates nearly half of all food stuffs, several more toxic bisphenols, like BPS, reports GreenMedInfo, also invade the food supply.
BPA has been linked to Type II diabetes, premenopausal breast cancer, abnormal heart rhythm, and lowered thyroid hormones in boys. Not only is BPA linked to obesity, but prenatal exposure tends to feminize boys and masculinize girls. Truly, the list goes on.
Belgium, Austria, Denmark and France currently restrict BPA in foodstuffs and/or infant products, as does Turkey, Japan, China and the UAE. Canada, meanwhile, has reversed itself twice. In 2008, Health Canada didn’t see a problem with BPA; in 2010 it did, and then in 2012 it decided BPA is okay after all.
NSA Undermines Encrypted Communications
by Stephen Lendman
Unconstitutional spying is official US policy. Privacy no longer exists. Even encrypted communications are vulnerable.
On September 5, London's Guardian headlined "Revealed: how US and UK spy agencies defeat internet and privacy security."
They "successfully cracked much of the online encryption relied upon by hundreds of millions of people to protect the privacy of their personal data, online transactions and emails, according to top-secret documents revealed by former contractor Edward Snowden."
They show NSA and Britain's GCHQ compromised what online companies are sworn to protect. Virtually anything spy agencies want they can get. Financial, medical and other private information is gotten.
Snowden revealed "a battery of methods" used to do so. Encrypted information no longer is safe.
What will make or break the United States of America is the truth about 9/11: Investigate the theories behind the conspiracies
via chycho
What will make or break the United States of America is the truth about 9/11, not its monetary policy, fiscal irresponsibility, lack of transparency, crony capitalistic economy, its inability to protect its citizenry, or even its brutal foreign policy. The truth about what transpired on 11 September 2001 will decide the fate of the United States of America. Everything else is secondary.
I. Truth and Lies of 9/11
On 9/11 the world changed. Not because the attacks on the United States were unique, since there have been many documented cases of false flag operations throughout history. The world changed because we forfeited the freedom of generations to come to obtain a delusional sense of security from an institution, an institution that has begun multiple wars of aggression, incurring trillions of dollars of debt and causing hundreds of thousands of deaths in the process.
This same institution was then allowed to investigate itself for its inability to protect its citizens from an attack that has been the catalyst for a tremendous amount of misery across the globe.
The CIA Admits 9/11 was a Metaphysical Catechism
By Robert Singer
The PakAlert Press, and other popular 9/11 conspiracy websites controlled by the CIA now admit controlled demolition cannot explain the collapse of the Twin Towers. The PakAlert article posted on September 18, 2010, Pictures Prove Mini Nukes Caused 9-11 Devastation has the following disclaimer[1]:
"We cannot blame the highly unconventional Ground Zero devastation on thermite/thermate/super thermate and “controlled demolition” any more than we can blame it on “jet fuel” or “box cutters.” http://www.pakalertpress.com/2010/09/18/pictures-prove-mini-nukes-caused-9-11-devastation/, Proven 9-11 Nukes = US Government Involvement
The recent articles at PakAlert CONTRADICT their previous position that 9/11 was an Israeli controlled demolition Inside Job (Israeli connection, 9/11, ALL The Proof in the World).
A picture is worth a 1,000 words, therefore I submit 3,000 words in three pictures:

A=Controlled Demolition of a hotel, B=North Tower, C=Hiroshima.
However, before getting on the mini-nuke/Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) bridge-to-nowhere, ask yourself this question:
If PakAlert is suddenly promoting the mini-nuke/Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) story featuring Judy Wood, who was previously marginalized and isolated from the 9/11 Truth Movement and considered a Kook [2], there can only be two explanations:
Cooking the Intelligence for War on Syria
by Stephen Lendman
All wars are based on lies. Truth is the ally of peace. It's the enemy of war. History repeats with disturbing regularity. It's doing so writ large now.
It bears eerie resemblance to events preceding Bush's Iraq war. Pretexts are needed to sell wars. When none exist they're invented.
Lies substitute for truth. So-called intelligence is cooked to fit policy. Ahead of Bush's Iraq war, Colin Powell knew Saddam had no WMDs.
He lied claiming otherwise. He faked evidence to justify the unjustifiable. He claimed "facts and Iraq's behavior show that Saddam Hussein and his regime are concealing their efforts to produce more weapons of mass destruction."
