April 2017Why is Venezuela in Crisis Again?Posted: Sunday, April 23, 2017 Why is Venezuela in Crisis Again? Make No Mistake: There is a media blockade against Venezuela America's Misadventures in the Middle East It's time for a fundamental reexamination of the U.S. role in the region. Why Does North Korea Want Nukes? Turkish opposition appeals referendum on Erdogan powers Civilian casualties from airstrikes grow in Iraq and Syria. But few are ever investigated Hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of other civilians have died in hundreds of airstrikes in Iraq and Syria during the war against Islamic State, and it appears likely that the vast majority of those deaths were never investigated by the U.S. military or its coalition partners. It is Not Just Assad Who is "Responsible" for the Rise of ISIS Taliban Infiltrates Afghan Base, Kills 140 Soldiers Single Deadliest Taliban Attack on Military of the Entire War Lawrence Wilkerson On North Korea Crisis: U.S. Should Stop the Threats & Own Up to its Role Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, says the U.S. should resolve the North Korea nuclear crisis through negotiations and should reckon with the impact of its previous actions. The U.S. Pushed North Korea to Build Nukes: Yes or No? Let's say you know someone who wears funny blue suits and doesn't share your views on politics. So you decide to stick this person in a cage and put him on a diet of bread and water until he agrees to change his wardrobe and adjust his thinking. And when he sits quietly on the cage-floor with his hands folded, you ignore him altogether and deal with other matters. But when he stomps his feet in anger or violently shakes the cage, you throw cold water on him or poke him in the back with a sharp stick. Why Washington is Terrified of Russia, China The Russia-China strategic partnership, uniting the Pentagon's avowed top two "existential" threats to America, does not come with a formal treaty signed with pomp, circumstance - and a military parade. US secretary of state issues war threat against Iran US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson issued a threat of military confrontation with Iran Wednesday at a hastily called news conference in which he drew a direct parallel to Washington's reckless and increasingly dangerous confrontation with North Korea. US 'deep state' sold out counter-terrorism to keep itself in business The whole war on terrorism has been, in effect, a bait-and-switch operation from the beginning. The idea that US military operations were somehow going to make America safer after the 9/11 attacks was the bait. What has actually happened ever since then, however, is that senior officials at the Pentagon and the CIA have been sacrificing the interest of American people in weakening al-Qaeda in order to pursue their own institutional interests. Migrants from west Africa being 'sold in Libyan slave markets' Posted: Wednesday, April 12, 2017 Migrants from west Africa being 'sold in Libyan slave markets' UN migration agency says selling of people is rife in African nation that has slid into violent chaos since overthrow of Gaddafi Exaggerated Dangers in Venezuela Maduro Calls to Investigate Opposition's False Chemical Weapons Claims Venezuela Rejects "Interventionist" Statement by US Southern Command Chief 40 Detained, 1 Dead in Ongoing Opposition Violence in Venezuela 55 Bipartisan Lawmakers Demand Trump Pump Brakes on Military Action in Yemen 'Once again, the administration appears ready to ramp up U.S. involvement in a complicated civil war without a clear strategy in place or the necessary authorization from Congress' Russia and Iran request an 'unbiased investigation' into Syrian chemical attack Russia, before Tillerson visit, says worried USA may attack North Korea Donald Trump warns North Korea is 'looking for trouble' and says US 'will solve problem with or without China' North Korea warns of nuclear strike if provoked, Trump 'armada' steams on Trump Withholds Syria-Sarin Evidence Despite President Trump's well-known trouble with the truth, his White House now says "trust us" on its Syrian-sarin charges while withholding the proof that it claims to have, reports Robert Parry. Carter Page: FBI reportedly obtained FISA warrant to monitor ex-Trump adviser A world in turmoil, thank you Mr. Trump! The real Donald Trump has been exposed. The man who promised a sensible and non-interventionist Middle Eastern policy and a reset with Moscow has now reneged on both pledges. His nitwit United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley has directly linked Russia and Syria for punishment by the omnipotent Leader of the Free World lest anyone be confused. 1983 CIA Document Reveals Plan To Destroy Syria, Foreshadows Current Crisis Poodle Trump Runs With Dogs of War Posted: Friday, April 7, 2017 What's really behind America's rush to war in Syria? Regarding the attack in Idlib, what we can say with certainty is that a time when pro-government forces in Syria were in the ascendancy on the ground, and when the Syrian government was making significant progress on the diplomatic front, it would have constituted an act of ineffable self-harm to launch a chemical weapons attack of any kind, much less one of this magnitude. In fact it would have conformed to the actions of a government that was intent on bringing about its own demise. What also must be taken into consideration is the fact that the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), an organization supported by the US, confirmed back in June 2014 that the process to destroy Syria’s entire stock of chemical weapons had been completed. Poodle Trump Runs With Dogs of War So the brash, big-mouth tycoon in the White House with an outsized ego has finally unleashed the dogs of war in Syria. Trump's Attack on Syria Killed Four Children, State News Agency Claims Nine civilians, including four children, were killed in the United States missile attack on a military airbase in Homs province in the early hours of Friday morning, the Syrian state news agency has said. Trump Has Surrendered - Will Putin Be The Next? We're Asking the Wrong Questions About Syria The two most obvious questions are who did this, and why? The US government (and unfortunately most American media, acting as stenographers rather than journalists as is too often the case in matters of war and foreign policy) have settled on the regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad as the culprit. That claim seems very questionable, if for no other reason than that there's no plausible "why" attached to it. Did Assad use chemical weapons on Khan Shaikhoun to score an own goal in the international arena? Correspondents in Beirut, Amsterdam, Ankara, Istanbul, Brussels, Geneva, Holland, Washington and the United Nations wrote the Reuters article. Most of them have never been to Syria in the last few years and their source is "rebels" in al-Qaeda held territory and "information" from other social media accounts. But this is not the only influential media source that writes about Syria and has clearly never been to the country at any time during the last 6 years: the Washington post also does the same. The UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs (and a UK diplomat) doesn't share the media "insightful information". NYT Retreats on 2013 Syria-Sarin Claims Even as The New York Times leads the charge against the Syrian government for this week's alleged chemical attack, it is quietly retreating on its earlier certainty about the 2013 Syria-sarin case, reports Robert Parry. Trump launches attack on Syria with 59 Tomahawk missiles Syria: New U.S. Air Support On Request Scheme For Al-Qaeda On this day one hundred years ago the U.S. joined World War I. Last night the U.S. attacked a Syrian government airport in an openly hostile and intentional manner. The strike established a mechanism by which al-Qaeda can "request" U.S. airstrikes on Syrian government targets. Syria Slams US Aggression After Overnight Attacks Syrian Officials Deny Launching Gas Attack Russia Cuts Military Communications With US Over Syria Attack Russia Deploys Warship to Naval Base Near US Ships UN council weighs compromise on Syria nerve gas probe Two days after alleged government bombing that killed scores, including 27 children, western diplomats demand full investigation Is Trump Going to Commit the Next Great American Catastrophe in Syria? It would be foolhardy to take military action before we know the details of the recent horrific gas attack. Russia Exposes US Lies at Security Council Posted: Thursday, April 6, 2017 Media Goes Quiet as Russia Exposes US Lies at Security Council Russia just called out the West for using the UN to promote regime change — but no one reported it. Watch - Russian, U.S. UK And Syria Speaking At UN Emergency Meeting Demonizing Syria and Russia – Show us the evidence. It's WMD All Over Again. Why Don't You See It? Today's frenzy over alleged use of poison gas in Syria is the 2017 version of Anthony Blair's WMD in Iraq. Why can you not see it? Did you think they would do it in exactly the same way again? You are being assailed through your emotions, to act first and think long after, and far too late. The Trump Administration Goes Neocon-crazy |
