Ukraine and Syria: In Orwellian Times, Revolution is Imperialism
Must Read - A quote....""We live in the times that George Orwell predicted in his groundbreaking novel 1984.  A time of deception, where nothing is what it seems to be. Lost in a deep fog of propaganda that passes for information, we have to decipher through conflicting narratives, where stories are planted to hide other ones. In this fictional conundrum, reality has become surreal, and words have lost their meaning. --  In our Orwellian lexicon, a pro-capitalist and neo-colonialist such as French President Francois Hollande is called a socialist; violent imperialist  interventions conducted by the United States and its allies, or even the United Nations, worldwide are called humanitarian missions or peacekeeping missions; policies of regime change, already conducted in Iraq and Libya, and underway in Ukraine, Syria, Venezuela, and even Cuba, are called promoting democracy or strengthening civil society. -- In Orwellian times, a phony revolution in Kiev is concocted by neocons in Washington DC with help from so-called humanitarian non-g0vernmental organizations (NGO), and USAID takes on the CIA’s role to promote supposedly spontaneous protests in Cuba. In Orwellian times, a big lie often repeated becomes the truth. When policymakers are spin masters, truth is the first casualty." "

The Liberal Media: US Imperialism's Biggest Cheerleaders
Special Note - A quote...."April 26, 2014 "ICH" -  In his essential book on UK foreign policy, Web of Deceit: Britain's Real Role in the World, historian Mark Curtis notes "the ideological system promotes one key concept that underpins everything else - the idea of Britain's basic benevolence." Criticism of foreign policies is possible "but within narrow limits which show 'exceptions' to, or 'mistakes' in, promoting the rule of basic benevolence". I would only add one caveat to Curtis's enduring maxim - the ideological system in the UK also promotes the basic benevolence of the United States, our closest ally. And arguably it is the UK's liberal media who are the biggest cheerleaders and apologists of the US as an active and aggressive world power."

Freedom Rider: Democracy is Dead
Quote of the Day....."A new study confirms the obvious: the will of the people carries no weight in the United States. Within the nation’s borders democracy is everywhere proclaimed but nowhere to be found. These truths we hold to be self-evident: “ordinary citizens have virtually no influence over what their government does in the United States.”" - also posted at RINF

President signs law, bans himself from entering the US
Second Quote of the Day - A quote...."A few days ago the President of the United States signed into public law bill S. 2195, now known as Pub.L. 113-100. - The law aims to “deny admission to the United States to any representative to the United Nations who has been found to have been engaged in espionage activities or a terrorist activity against the United States and poses a threat to United States national security interests.” - In other words, if the US government thinks that if you have been spying on the United States, then they won’t let you in the country. - Gee, let’s think for a moment– who has been engaging in espionage against the United States? Anyone? - Ah, right. The US government. Mr. Obama himself. The entire US intelligence network. They’ve all been engaging in espionage against the United States, especially its citizens. - But let us not forget, the law also bars entry for folks who have engaged in terrorist activity against the United States. - Just so that we don’t mince words, my dictionary defines terrorism as the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. - Once again, the US government. Violence? Check. Intimidation? Check."

Heffermehl who in his books has called for respect for Alfred Nobel and the peace plan he wished to support."

Explosive: What really happened to Sharyl Attkisson at CBS?
A quote...."Sharyl Attkisson, CBS’s top investigative reporter: gone, resigned, floating free, unchained, now viewed by the news establishment as an outsider, a defector, a weirdo with an axe to grind. - Among the controversial stories she covered at CBS: Benghazi. Just as she was digging below the surface of the Obama coverup, she was cut off and shut down by her network bosses."

Must Read - A quote...."April 25, 2014 "ICH" - Once again the U.S. establishment is promoting another violent coup d’etat as a democratic uprising. Troops are moving, planes are flying, ships are advancing, war threats are being thrown. The governments of NATO and their media point fingers at Russia, but the provocation is fully hidden. Peace activists who should know better are buying this propaganda and spreading it. -- Peace activists must urgently act to illuminate the travesty of justice that is taking place.

Unelected Kiev Regime Begins Killing Spree in Eastern Ukraine

Several have been killed during clashes in the eastern Ukrainian town of Slavyansk where Kiev has set armored vehicles and helicopter gunships upon its own population. -- The Western media continues to refer to those opposing the unelected regime in Kiev as “pro-Russian,” and continues to insist that the uprising in the east is either backed by Moscow or in fact, being carried out directly by Russians operating in Ukrainian territory. However, the US and EU have failed categorically to prove such claims with evidence, and have since been caught circulating falsified images and news in attempts to bolster their claims." - Source:  NewEasternOutlook

Christian-Zionists problem – Khazar DNA

Must Read - A quote...."(INTELLIHUB) — The Jerusalem Post reports in the article, Kerry hints: Israel to blame for deadlocked peace process, “US Secretary of State John Kerry appeared to blame Israel on Tuesday for dissolving a deal that would have extended negotiations with the Palestinians for nine months”. Prospects for any lasting accommodation always fails because Christian-Zionist incessantly supports a rogue ruling elite, who assert a heretical claim of being “Chosen”, when their tribe stems from descendants, other than Abraham. Until this apostate doctrine is debunked and discarded, no peaceful political settlement is possible. -- It is crucial to understand that Zionist (Khazarian Jews) Historical Claim to Israel is Unfounded. “The Cabala, their most revered book, is a hoax. Similarly, as Alfred Lillienthal explained in this key 1953 essay, their claim to Israel is yet another ruse. Zionism and the NWO are partly a recrudescence of Khazar imperialism.” -- The video, WHY Evangelists and Khazars hate this video, provides a needed historical analysis. Then if you are intrigued with this primer, you can investigate the huge library of links on the http://www.khazaria.com site." - Topix ||  Get Your Facts Straight - 02-27-13 - mpg  ||

First draft of the US government's Defense Planning Guidance. It was later toned down, but it still formed the basis for the exceptionalist dementia incarnated by the Project for the New American Century; and also reappeared in full glory in Dr Zbig "Let's Rule Eurasia" Brzezinski's 1997 magnum opus The Grand Chessboard. - It's all there, raw, rough and ready...."
"Our first objective is to prevent the reemergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere, that poses a threat on the order of that posed by the Soviet Union.

These regions include Western Europe, East Asia, the territory of the former Soviet Union, and Southwest Asia."

"Rebuilding America's Defenses" – A Summary - Blueprint of the PNAC Plan for U.S. Global Hegemony
From the History File - May 6, 2003 -- A quote...."05/06/03: When the Bush administration started lobbying for war with Iraq, they used as rationale a definition of preemption (generally meaning anticipatory use of force in the face of an imminent attack) that was broadened to allow for the waging of a preventive war in which force may be used even without evidence of an imminent attack. They also were able to convince much of the American public that Saddam Hussein had something to do with the attacks of 9/11, despite the fact that no evidence of a link has been uncovered. Consequently, many people supported the war on the basis of 1) a policy that has no legal basis in international law and 2) a totally unfounded claim of Iraqi guilt."

America Is A Bully. OK. There, I Said It!

Those who support a bully do so out of fear. Hence, bullies never have any real friends. They have followers who are intimidated by the arrogance and power of the tormenter. There are many nations, which appear to be friendly to America, yet they wait patiently with hope in their hearts that one-day the bully will meet his match. Meanwhile, they pay homage to the bully in order that they may avoid his wrath."

[A Statement By Clive Bundy]
PRESS RELEASE - A quote...."What I am saying is that all we Americans are trading one form  of slavery for another.  All of us are in some measure slaves of the federal government.  Through their oppressive tactics of telling the ranchers how many cows  they can have on their land, and making that  number too low to support a ranch, the BLM has  driven every rancher in Clark County off the land, except me.  The IRS keeps the people of America in fear, and makes us all work about a third or a half of the year before we have earned enough to pay their taxes. This is nothing but slavery from January through May.  The NSA spies on us and collects our private phone calls and emails.  And  the government dole which many people in America are on, and have been for much of their lives, is dehumanizing and degrading.  It takes away incentive to work and self respect.  Eventually a person on the dole becomes a ward of the government, because his only source of income is a dole from the government.  Once the government has you in that position, you are its slave." -- *Clive Bundy* - For more on this issue see articles shown below....

The only way out is for the US to back off – something the people of the US and the world want, but the elite does not. - The US is a country controlled through the privately owned Federal Reserve, which in turn is controlled by the handful of banking families that established it by deception in the first place." - Topix  ||  The Ten Year Economic / Warfare Cycle  ||

"The Free Press Clause protects the right of individuals to express themselves through publication and dissemination of information, ideas and opinions without interference, constraint or prosecution by the government.[1] [2]  This right was described in Branzburg v. Hayes as "a fundamental personal right" that is not confined to newspapers and periodicals.[3]  In Lovell v. City of Griffin (1938), [4] Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes defined "press" as "every sort of publication which affords a vehicle of information and opinion."[5]  This right has been extended to media including newspapers, books, plays, movies, and video games.[6]   While it is an open question whether people who blog, twitter or use other social media are journalists entitled to protection by media shield laws,[7]  they are protected equally by the Free Speech Clause and the Free Press Clause, because both clauses don't difference between media businesses and nonprofessional speakers. [1] [8] [9] [2]  This is further evidenced by the United States Supreme Court who constantly refused to accord greater First Amendment protection to the institutional media than to other speakers [10] [11] [12]  For example in a case involving campaign finance laws the Court rejected the “suggestion that communication by corporate members of the institutional press is entitled to greater constitutional protection than the same communication by” non-institutional-press businesses.[13]"

Commentary on the Bill of Rights
A quote...."As the United States government continues its war against the nation created in 1779, it has become all too obvious that many Americans, although they will talk about the Bill of Rights, remain unclear as to what it says and what it means. Partly that is due to endless government and corporate media spin, and partly because the language spoken in this nation has changed so much from the time of the writing of the Constitution to the present day, that many people are confused as to what was actually intended. On the occasion of the New York Times publishing an op-ed calling for the abandonment of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, I offer some clarification."
Most importantly it MUST be understood that these are natural God given rights each and every single person INHERENTLY posses!!  The Bill of Rights doesn't "grant them" to the people, the Bill of Rights specifically spells out our basic rights so the government doesn't abuse them.  It's to make it clear to the government what it is NOT supposed to be doing. The founding fathers intended the Bills of Rights to be a CHECK ON GOVERNMENT, which they manifestly distrusted to a man, and which they thought would ceaselessly attempt to violate our rights!  How right they were! -- Taking away the Bill of Rights DOES NOT TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY, it simply lets those in government think (wrongly) that they can abuse them. - mpg

"What is worrying is that the NYPD officers look so much like Israeli soldiers in occupied Palestine. - We know there is a high degree of interaction between the Israeli military and US law enforcement police forces. - These pictures make that connection all the more real. - Like the Palestinians, people living in the USA are now also under occupation too. - These pictures prove that to be the case. - This does not augur well for American democracy – RIP." -- *John Dowdle*

Monsanto GM Soy Is Scarier Than You Think
A quote...."Soybeans are the second-largest US crop after corn, covering about a quarter of American farmland. We grow more soybeans than any other country except Brazil. According to the US Department of Agriculture, more than 90 percent of the soybeans churned out on US farms each year are genetically engineered to withstand herbicides, nearly all of them involving one called Roundup. Organic production, by contrast, is marginal—it accounts for less than 1 percent of total American acreage devoted to soy. (The remaining 9 percent or so of soybeans are conventionally grown, but not genetically modified.)"

GMO plants, GMO people, and cancer
A quote..."There is an extraordinary parallel between what biotech corporations are doing with food plants, and what cancer researchers are trying to do with humans. - The comparison is not only instructive, it reveals what the future holds. - The war against cancer has painted a picture of hope: genetic solutions, genetic modifications. - This, despite the fact that there are no successful genetic treatments for any form of human cancer. - The focus on genes is a diversion from obvious causes of cancer in the environment: industrial chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, food additives, and even pharmaceuticals. - This futile gene-fix has a parallel in food crops: modify the genes of plants so they can grow despite drenching them with toxic pesticides. However, massive GMO crop failures and reduced nutritive value of such crops are two reasons why the gene model fails. - So it is with human cancer: “let’s modify the genes of people and they will be impervious to the environmental assault of chemicals that cause cancer.”"

Obama: “Remaking the Middle East”: The American Gulag
- GR Donation Rqst - CLICK HERE
Must Read - A quote...."During the beginning of his first term in office President Obama promised “to remake the Middle East into a region of prosperity and freedom”. Six years later the reality is totally the contrary: the Middle East is ruled by despotic regimes whose jails are overflowing with political prisoners.  The vast majority of pro-democracy activists who have been incarcerated, have been subject to harsh torture and are serving long prison sentences.  The rulers lack legitimacy, having seized power and maintained their rule through a centralized police state and military repression.Direct  US military and CIA intervention, massive shipments of arms,military  bases, training missions and Special Forces are decisive in the construction of the  Gulag chain from North Africa to the Gulf States. -- We will proceed by documenting the scale and scope of political repression in each US backed police state.  We will then describe the scale and scope of US military aid buttressing the “remaking of the Middle East” into a chain of political prisons run by and for the US Empire." - Source:  JamesPetras

What’s Been and What’s Next

Must Read - A quote...."The wonder is that more Americans are not ticked off about the state of our country than whatever is happening ten thousand miles away. For instance, how come the US Department of Justice is not as avid to prosecute the pervasive racketeering in the US economy as the State Department is for provoking unnecessary wars in foreign lands on the other side of the planet, over matters that have little bearing on life here? This racketeering, by the way, amounts to a war against American citizens."

Economic Imperialism and the One Word You Can’t Say
Special Note - A quote...."One reason the United States and the West aren’t particularly interested in defending their neoliberal policies is because by the time their effects are felt in a particular location, the world and its five-minute attention span has already moved on. Once the glamour of violence simmers down, the appetites of the bourgeoisie are sated. Whether Russia or Thailand or Korea or Chile or the Ukraine, the vicious coup d’état or knowingly-savage policy prescriptions that unlock a country’s economy quickly fade into obscurity. Into that fathomless swamp of imperial crimes."

He’s responsible for a huge number of deaths and injuries. - Obama attacked Libya based on lies. Hoping to destroy the Syrian military by a bombing campaign, he lied about the gas attack in August 2013.

Another NYT-Michael Gordon Special?
ZOC Alert - (NYT shilling again.....along with the  same old Presstitutes again) -- A quote...."There is now a pattern to New York Times “investigative” stories that seek to pin the blame on some nefarious foreign enemy, as in the 2002 article on Iraq buying aluminum tubes for nuclear centrifuges; the 2013 “vector analysis” tracing sarin-laden rockets to a Syrian military base; and now a photographic analysis proving that Russian soldiers are behind unrest in eastern Ukraine. - All these stories draw hard conclusions from very murky evidence while ignoring or brushing aside alternative explanations. They also pile up supportive acclamations for their conclusions from self-interested sources while treating any doubters as rubes. And, these three articles all involved reporter Michael R. Gordon. -- The infamous aluminum tube story of Sept. 8, 2002, which Gordon co-wrote with Judith Miller, relied on U.S. intelligence sources and Iraqi defectors to frighten Americans with images of “mushroom clouds” if they didn’t support President George W.

Making sense of the latest Kerry Lavrov deal - ICH Donation Drive - CLICK HERE
Special Note - A quote...."April 18, 2014 "ICH" - Ok, first the necessary caveats:
  1. Kerry and Lavrov already had a deal on Syria, also made in Geneva, but then the USA reneged.
  2. The EU also had a deal on the Ukraine with Yanukovich, who was overthrown literally the next day.
  3. The USA, NATO and the EU have lied, cheated, mis-represented, twisted and simply betrayed pretty much every promise which they made to Russia ever since Russia freed itself from the yoke of Communism in 1991.
  4. The USA probably has as much control over the Ukrainian crazies a la Right Sector as it does over al-Qaeda, tenuous at best.
  5. Putin does have a lot of "street cred" in the eastern Ukraine, but it is far from being infinite.
  6. The USA does have full control over the Ukrainian oligarchs, but they, in turn, are clearly in a struggle with the nationalist crazies who probably have more firepower and crowd muscle than these oligarchs.

The soldiers hesitate, but then follow the peoples’ orders. They refuse to shoot at their own compatriots. Following this are moving scenes of fraternization in a nation that will not allow itself to be forced into war. The transitional government in Kiev declares the civil rights activists in east Ukraine to be terrorists. They do not see the possibility of exemplary peace that could take place here. Instead they send tanks into the cities in order to secure their power with military force. They cannot think differently. In the beginning, the soldiers obey until they arrive at the area of operations, where they do not meet terrorists, but an entire people that defend themselves against tanks driving through their landscape. They do not want war and they do not see why it should be fought. Yes, why actually? For long they have been lied to and betrayed by Kiev – now they can no longer trust the new government."
