Syria’s “Rebels” Threaten UN – Will Use US Weapons

Terrorists operating in Syria have threatened to “block” UN inspectors, any bloodshed will be on the hands of the US who is now openly arming them. Qassim Saadeddine of the so-called “Free Syrian Army” rejected the recent Syrian-Russian proposal to turn over Syria’s chemical weapons for independent verification and destruction, vowing to block UN inspectors should they enter Syria to carry out the task.

China stitches up (SCO) Silk Rd

One wonders what the adults in assorted rooms in the Beltway think about all this (assuming they know it’s happening). Former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton used to wax lyrical about an American-propped New Silk Road. Well, after Xi’s trip that sounds like yet another Barack Obama campaign promise.

Preempting The Next Round of Lies Against Syria

Relying entirely on the momentum of its massive media networks and their ability to “will” reality into any shape they please, headlines such as “United Nations’ Syria chemical weapons report “overwhelming,” shamelessly attempt to link two out of context statements by UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon regarding the Syria government’s “crimes against humanity” and the confirmed use of chemical weapons in Damascus Syria, to place in the mind of readers assigned blame for the attacks.

Liar-in-Chief

Obama claimed he has gone to Congress “even though I possess the authority to order military strikes.” The former “liberal” constitutional law professor with a degree from Harvard Law certainly knows that the U.S. Constitution grants war-making authority in Congress alone.

To George Monbiot re. HRW’s report about Ghouta

HRW also has a revolving door with the US State Department. Tom Malinowski, former ‘Washington Director for Human Rights Watch’, has just been named the Obama Administration’s “Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights”. Before joining HRW, Malinowski had been a ‘special assistant to President Bill Clinton and senior director for foreign policy speechwriting at the National Security Council’.

Honoring A Mass Murderer

ITV’s breakfast ‘news’ programme Daybreak told its viewers this morning that ‘Nobel Peace Prize winner Henry Kissinger’ would be talking to the show before broadcasting his comments on the meeting between John Kerry and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov on Syrian chemical weapons. A fine example of the mainstream media (msm) presenting one of the most notoriously murderous US political figures as a credible commentator on human rights.

Libya’s Destruction – Based On “Exceptionalism”, Lies And Propaganda

It is alarming that military intervention in internal conflicts in foreign countries has become commonplace for the United States. Is it in America’s long-term interest? I doubt it. Millions around the world increasingly see America not as a model of democracy but as relying solely on brute force, cobbling coalitions together under the slogan “you’re either with us or against us.”
