Washington's Blog: Will Israel Launch a False Flag Against Iran??

In other words, will Israel blow up something and falsely blame it on Iran? According to US officials, Israel is training and supporting Iranian terrorists who are trying to topple the Iranian government. Those Israeli funded terrorists have faked documents to falsely indicate that Iran is building a nuclear bomb. Israel has admitted to previous use of false flag attacks to justify war against Middle Eastern nations. For example, Israel admits that an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including US diplomatic facilities, then left behind "evidence" implicating the Arabs as the culprits (one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to identify the bombers, and several of the Israelis later confessed). Numerous high level government officials have warned that a false flag may be launched against Iran to start a war: Former National Security Adviser Zbigniew, who helped to create Al Qaeda to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan, told the Senate that a terrorist act might be carried out in the US and falsely blamed on Iran to justify war against that nation. Daniel Ellsberg, the famous Pentagon Papers whistle-blower, said if there is another terror attack, I believe the president will get what he wants, which includes war with Iran. Robert David Steele, a 20 year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer, the ranking in US Marine Corps Intelligence, and former CIA clandestine services case officer, said that elements within the US government are trying to carry out a false flag operation, and blame it on Iran. Former high level CIA officer Michael Scheuer, who was the head of the CIA unit tasked with capturing Bin Laden, says that Israel or Saudi Arabia could be setting up Iran as a way to foment war!   

Washington Blog: Cowardice is Destroying America!!

Many years ago, in a better America, our country was founded on courage, and that's why I decided to obey my country's call to serve her in Vietnam as Advisory Team Leader: In better times, George Washington, who was actually a horrible general, Washington's early campaigns were disastrous, and the entire Revolutionary War was almost lost due to Washington's early miscalculations. For example, his first major battle was fought from a low, exposed position, so that the British forced a surrender by seizing the high ground. But Washington was brave. He always rode with the first wave of soldiers, even when there were waves of incoming cannon balls being hurled in his direction. Washington's courage, and his willingness to consistently fight on the front lines with his men, as I did in Vietnam, was his willingness to consistently fight on the front lines with his men, was one of the main factors in the success of the American Revolution. The courage of the men at Valley Forge was also a turning point in the war. Slogging on through the dead of winter without shoes inspired a nation. On the other hand, cowardice makes makes people stupid and docile. Fear of Hurting the Big Banks Has Destroyed the Economy: The rescue is being sold as a must have emergency measure by an administration with a controversial record, when it comes to asking Congress for special authority in time of duress: Mr Paulson has argued that the powers he seeks are necessary to chase away the wolf howling at the door, a potentially swift shredding of the American financial system. That would be catastrophic for everyone, he argues, not only banks, but also ordinary Americans who depend on their finances to buy homes and cars, and to pay for college!

Olga Denisova: Russia, BRICS and Non-Aligned Blame West For Syrian Terrorism!

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov: "To a great extent the ongoing violence in Syria should be blamed on the countries that incite anti Assad forces to deny a ceasefire and seek a change of regime. Actually, this approach hardly differs from the principles of terrorism applied by the armed opposition groups." The Russian delegation pointed out that no resolution was required for starting a dialogue on the basis of the principles of the Geneva Communique. Russia's partners in BRICS share this opinion. Among five BRICS member states adopted a joint resolution at the UN General Assembly session. Refusal to apply the Geneva agreements on Syria reached on June 30, 2012 puts at risk the implementation of the key principles outlined by the UN Security Council in the fight against terror. The participants in a high level UNSC meeting on the Middle East on Wednesday voiced different approaches to the situation in Syria. The Syrian crisis has remained the thorniest Middle Eastern issue for more than a year. Meanwhile, all major UNSC member states has expressed their views on the situation before the UN General Assembly session opened in New York on Tuesday. US leader Barack Obama again stressed that peace will come to Syria only after President Bashar Assad resigns. French President Francois Hollande urged the UN to take active steps in Syria and protect the areas controlled by the opposition. Not only Syrians have found themselves directly or indirectly involved in the conflict. Only a consolidated approach can result help in finding the right solution, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

Alex Kane: When Right Wing Crazy Backfires!!

Anti-Muslim blogger and activist Pamela Geller must have thought she would spread her hateful, right wing Zionist message to more people by placing inflammatory advertisements in New York City subway stations. Instead, Geller has had to deal with a ton of backlash against the advertisements, which read: "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad." The ads demeaning Muslims and Palestinians were placed in 10 subway stations in New York this week, following their placement in San Francisco last month. They were first rejected by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, but after Geller filed a lawsuit, a judge ordered the MTA to allow them to go up. The American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), an organization run by Geller and her Islamophobic partner in crime Robert Spencer, paid more than $6,000 to New York's transit agency to run the billboards. AFDI has been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Geller is the nation's leading anti-Muslim activist, regularly publishing vitriol against Islam on her blog, and promoting attempts to stop the construction of mosques. She made a name for herself when she led the charge against the construction of an Islamic center in lower Manhattan in 2010, falsely labeling it a "mega mosque" on the premises of Ground Zero. The ads are the latest attempt by Geller to make a name for herself and spread her hateful message that attempts to marginalize Muslim Americans, but it appears they have backfired hard! Almost as soon as the ads went up, they were defaced and corrected. Big stickers with the words "Racist" and "Hate Speech" were plastered over at least seven of Geller's ads, much to her dismay.

J.B. Gerald: On Psywar Against the Innocent!

When freedom of expression is used to incite the public to hatred of a national, religious, racial or ethnic group, it becomes a crime. According to Article 20 of the UN's International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights: 1. Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law. 2. Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law. This doesn't contradict rights of freedom of expression. It attempts to constrain agendas of hatred. It is possible that any program of military propaganda or psywar against groups or nations is fundamentally illegal. Attempts to defend extreme hate crimes as within our rights of free speech encourages censorship, which encourages repression. A video of US origin, "Innocence of Muslims," the trailer to a film defaming and sexually deriding the Prophet Mohammed, has of course resulted in protest by Muslims worldwide. Why isn't everyone protesting? The trailer is intensively offensive to human values, lacks redeeming artistic merit, and is recognizably propaganda. In California, a judge refused to ban "Innocence of Muslims" from you tube, on the grounds that suppression would violate US guarantees of free speech. In France Charlie Hebdo has published on its cover a cartoon caricature depicting Islam's Prophet naked in a distorted sexual posture. The effect is despicable and intended. The original issue sold out, and despite the anxiety of the country's 4 million Muslims, Charlie Hebdo ran the cartoon again. While France is sensitive to religious laws - abortions don't appear in French literature, it hasn't charged the editors of Charlie Hebdo with a hate crime, and instead closed French embassies and schools in twenty countries.

Prof. James F. Tracy: The Tender Tyranny of American Liberalism!

Liberalism itself is a synthetic creation of the power structure, a humanitarian facade behind which the dirty work of policing the world can go on uninterrupted by idealistic spasms in the body politic. Journalist Eric Norden's perceptive critique, The Tender Tyranny of American Liberalism,appeared in the early years of the Vietnam era, accurately identifying how a predominantly liberal worldview projected by the ruling technocracy and its intellectual adherents acted to subordinate genuinely Left-progressive ideas and social movements at home, while ensuring the furtherance of US imperial designs abroad. Today Norden's insights are worthy of reconsideration in light of how the Left remains largely devoid of its own voice or vision, and more than ever liberalism provides ideological cover for aggressive Anglo American militarism, the prerogatives of transnational corporations, and an ever-expanding police state. Since the 1800's liberalism and its utilitarian philosophical bearings have been a central intellectual and popular means by which gunboat and free trade diplomacies alike are justified to the public at large. It is also a foremost rationale through which aggressive social control is exerted on the population at home, more recently by political leaders who symbolize and embody real social struggles in American history, and thereby may exercise a more valid claim to feeling their constituents pain. The modern day liberal handily anticipates and deflects criticism of her policies through a trumpeted alarm for a variety of social and political issues: Student performance, public health, environmental degradation and the alleged atrocities of foreign enemies, waving about an array of solutions, from educational initiatives and carbon credits, to "humanitarian" military actions.

Prof Michel Chossudovsky: War on Iran Will Trigger World War III!!

Both the US and Israel have threatened to implement a preemptive first strike attack against Iran, the consequences of which would be devastating. Responding to these ongoing threats, Iran's Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) General Amir Ali Hajizadeh has warned the US-Israeli military attack against Iran could lead to the outbreak of a Third World War. He also intimated that Israel cannot launch a war without the green light from the US. If such a war were to be launched, according to General Hajizadeh, a scenario of uncontrolled military escalation is likely to occur. If attacked, Iran would retaliate against both Israeli and US targets, including US military facilities in neighboring countries, (ie Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Gulf States). Commnder of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force General Amir Ali Hajizadeh warned the US and the Israeli Zionist regime that an attack on Iran will likely trigger World War III. Speaking to the Arabic news network, Al-Alam on Sunday, General Hajizadeh said the US and the Israeli regime may not enter war wit Iran "independent from each other, meaning that if either one of these two starts a war, it will be joined by the other one". "We see the US and the Zionist regime standing fully on the side of each other, and we cannot imagine the Zionist regime initiating a war without the US backup. Due to the same reason, if a war breaks out, we will definitely wage battle on both sides and will definitely be engaged with the US bases," he said. "In case such conditions arise, a series of incidents will take place which will not controllable and manageable, and such a war might turn into a third world war. That means, certain countries may enter the war for or against Iran," added the general. The IRGC commander warned that in case such a war is waged on Iran, the US bases in "those countries around us and inside the neighboring countries will be targeted, and they will even be threatened by the nations of these very states". The World is at a dangerous crossroads. The statement of General Hajizadeh must be taken seriously!

Timothy Bancroft Hinchey: UN Confirms Foreign Militants in Syria

Crimes performed by foreign militants, such as kidnappings, torture and mistreatment of captured government soldiers also were repudiated by the UN High Commissioner: A team of UN experts confirmed on Monday the existence of aliens within the armed opposition groups in Syria, who commit war crimes. There are reasonable grounds to believe that anti-government forces in that country perpetrate killings, extrajudicial executions and torture, said Paulo Pinheiro, head of an independent international panel investigating the situation in Syria. In an interactive dialogue with the Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, the expert also denounced the use of children under 18 years of age by armed opposition groups. These forces do not identify its members with real uniforms or insignia to distinguish them from civilians, he added. Crimes performed by these elements such as kidnappings, torture and mistreatment of captured government soldiers also were repudiated by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay. Pinheiro also criticized the government for carrying out indiscriminate attacks such as air strikes and artillery shelling of residential areas, like air raids and bombings of artillery to residential areas. He also spoke out against the imposition of sanctions against Syria, by constituting a denial of fundamental rights to the people of that country, where, according to the UN, there are 2.5 million people in need of humanitarian aid. The expert reiterated the need for a political solution in Syria and stressed that there is no possibility of a military solution. He has called on the international community to support the efforts of the Special Representative of the UN and the Arab League to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, to end violence and start a dialogue for a lasting solution to the crisis. "The conflict could spread to other countries in the region and threaten regional stability and security," he said.       

Tony Cartalucci: West Attempts to Trigger Clash of Civilizations!!

In France, where people are sent to jail for "Holocaust denial," considered by law a religious hate crime, it seems strange then that well timed, raunchy cartoons designed solely to insult and inflame hate against and among Muslims worldwide would be defended vigorously by French politicians who claim, according to the Christian Science Monitor, that "freedom of the press should not be infringed. "With Neo-Conservative warmongers behind a recent inflammatory film titled, "The Innocence of Muslims," and their counterparts among radical sectarian extremists leading violent protests across the Middle East and North Africa, it would almost seem as if the publication of insulting cartoons by a French paper, "Carlie Hebdo," was part of a grander strategy to create a manufactured conflict between Islam and the West, setting the stage for more overt military operations to take over faltering covert operations in Syria and beyond. France and the West are playing both sides. It is a fact that France itself has provided state sponsorship of terrorism from Libya to Syria, arming, funding, and politically backing the very groups taking to the streets, burning Western consulates, killing bystanders, diplomats, and security forces alike: France had armed, trained, funded, and provided air support for the UN-listed terrorist outfit, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) last year in Libya, in their bid to overthrow the government of Muammar Qaddafi. LIFG had merged officially with Al Qaeda, according to a US Army West Point Combating Terrorism Center report in 2007, long before the French knowingly aided and abetted these these terrorists in their bid to overthrow and overrun Libya. Currently, the government of France is funding and arming these very same terrorists, who promptly transferred weapons, cash, and fighters to Syria to begin terror operations there!!
