UN & US Maneuver Against Syria Upon Baseless Activist Hearsay
Special Note - A quote...."As with all atrocities committed with impeccable timing to be paraded out before the world on the eve of pivotal UN meetings, little more than "activist" hearsay is used to condemn the Syrian government to more foreign pressure and edge it ever closer to a US-engineered sectarian war planned as early as 2007. Kofi Annan as well, after posing as "peacemaker" for months, finally dropped all pretenses and credibility to "blame" the Syrian government for the failure of his plan - a deceitful ploy from the very beginning." - also posted at GlobalRsrch

Turkey: taking a risk with the U.S. in Syria
Special Note - A quote...."In late 2011 Frederic C. Hof, one of the State Department`s point man on Syrian policy, equaled the Assad regime to ‘a dead man walking’. At the end of December, 2011, Hof joined a special secret committee set up by the Obama administration to discuss possible scenarios of Syrian intervention. The Foreign Policy magazine said that an ‘unusually small’ group of officials from the Pentagon, the State Department, the Department of the Treasury and other bodies was headed by Steven Simon, National Security Council senior director for the Middle East and North Africa. This group operates beyond a traditional format of cooperation between American governmental institutions." - bold by website editor

More Syrian Blood on Obama’s Hands
Special Note - A quote...."Morning headlines again falsely accused Assad of mass killings in Qubeir village in central Hama province. -- Houla-style slaughter was repeated. Reports said as many as 78 civilians were killed. Half were women and children. Around 35 members of one family were murdered in cold blood. -- Victims were shot at close range and/or stabbed. Some bodies were burned. Independent reports haven’t explained what eventually will come out. Pro-Assad loyalists were targeted for assassination. At issue also is creating pretexts for Libyan-style intervention. -- Western-recruited death squads bear full responsibility...." - also posted at Veteran's2Day

CONFRONTING IRAN, "PROTECTING ISRAEL": The Real Reason for America's War on Syria
Special Note - A quote...."Secretary of  State Hillary Clinton is calling for an R2P humanitarian military intervention in Syria to curb the atrocities allegedly ordered by the government of president Bashar Al Assad. In a twisted logic, Clinton recognizes that while "opposition forces" are integrated by Al Qaeda affiliated terrorists, the government rather than the terrorists is held responsible, without a shred of evidence, for the ongoing massacre of civilians. -- Amply documented, these sectarian killings and atrocities are being committed by foreign mercenaries and militia which are armed and supported by the Western military alliance. -- The killings are carried out quite deliberately as part of a diabolical covert operation. The enemy is then blamed for the resulting atrocities. The objective is to justify a military agenda on humanitarian grounds." - bold by website editor - Topix  ||  Pseudo Gangs & Agnt Provctrs  ||

Syrian Rebels Try To Get Journalists Killed
Special Note - A quote...."Alex Thomsen reports for the British Channel 4. He is just back from reporting in Syria for which he had an official visa. He accompanied the UN observers and was frequently also in rebel held areas. On his blog he just posted this vignette...."

"We decide to ask for an escort out the safe way we came in. Both sides, both checkpoints will remember our vehicle. - Suddenly four men in a black car beckon us to follow. We move out behind. - We are led another route. Led in fact, straight into a free-fire zone. Told by the Free Syrian Army to follow a road that was blocked off in the middle of no-man’s-land."

The Houla Massacre And The Subversion Of The Peace Plan
A quote...."June 08, 2012 "Information Clearing House" -- Anyone with even an iota of conscience would condemn the Houla massacre of 25-26 May 2012. That 49 of the 108 killed were children is what makes that massacre unbearably brutal and barbaric. -- The government of Syria has accused armed terrorists of committing the massacre. It has provided a detailed account of what had happened. Eye witness testimonies have been presented over state media."

US to blame for inadequate international response on Syria, says former Israeli ambassador
A quote...."Unflipping believable. -- Should Former Israeli Ambassador Rabinovich really believe that armed intervention is the only answer here, I would suggest he speak directly to Ehud Barak, Israel's Deputy Minister, and Prime Minister Netanyahu about going in and invading Syria on its own; but of course, that will only happen when pigs fly. -- What this man wants is for Americans to fight, get maimed for life, and die in order to accomplish regime change in Syria; I would strongly suggest it should be Israeli forces, if he really doesn't believe that Russia will come in on the side of the Assad government." -- *Michael Rivero*

PROXY WAR WITH IRAN AND RUSSIA: Intervention in Syria Has Nothing to do with Humanitarian Concerns
A quote...."Clifford May begins by playing the "humanitarian card" but ends admitting the entire conflict is a proxy war with Iran, and by implication, Russia. Amid a myriad of lies directed at Iran, May proposes worldwide occupation is necessary to maintain American "influence in the long run," a notion that sounds suspiciously a lot like Empire.  --  May also makes mention of "strange bedfellows" in the current conflict, by quoting a fellow commentator who stated, "the McCain wing of the Republican party, and the rest of Washington’s progressive, Islamophilic clerisy” are aligning with “al-Qaeda emir Ayman al-Zawahiri and Muslim Brotherhood icon Yusuf al-Qaradawi.”" - Source:  LandDestroyerReport

Amnesty International & Human Rights Watch:   Mercenaries For Empire
A quote...."“Human rights” has become a tortured term. The most prominent names in the western human rights business behave, essentially, as “weapons in the imperial arsenal. Their value to the empire increased exponentially when Barack Obama adopted humanitarian intervention as a pillar of American war doctrine.” Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch spend much of their energies “advocating that the U.S. and its friends trample on the national sovereignty of weaker states – as if human rights can exist outside the framework of international law.” -- *Glen Ford*  -- also posted at Libya360

Scott Noble's "The Power Principle" - American Empire: the Feature Film
Must View Video - Film Announcement / Review - A quote...."June 08, 2012 "Information Clearing House" --  Discussing the nature of the US Empire and how it got to where it is today with most US residents is always a challenge.  Recommending books explaining it is equally so.  This is especially true when one considers that most people who live in the United States have little or no concept of what an empire is and, when explained to them, are reluctant to believe that their nation is such a thing.  I have often thought that someone should make a film that might accomplish this educational goal.  After all, film is simultaneously informative and entertaining, especially when it is well made.  That is the case with radical documentarian Scott Noble’s (Rise Like Lions, Psywar, Lifting the Veil) latest effort, The Power Principle."
The Shame of Veteran’s and Memorial Day
A quote...."I published this last November and it certainly rings true for the second holiday during the year when we celebrate the use of war and violence to advance the agenda of the American Federal government around the globe.  We are asked to bow our heads in honor of the dead and wounded who gave their service for freedom.  Call me a skeptic.  Individual citizens have never been in graver danger of being fined, kidnapped, caged, maimed and killed by their own government for the most banal of violations or infractions against the imperial power that has wrapped its tentacles around every living soul in the land of the free.  The export of extraterritorial violence does not make a country free, it puts every inhabitant in the hazard as the entire planet has factions enraged, women and children savaged and murdered and entire religious sects chosen for special military attention."

Global Firepower
Weapons Tech / Conventional Capabilities -- A quote...."GFP provides a unique analytical display of data covering global military powers with statistics compiled through various sources. All manner of countries are considered in the ranking, a spectrum helping to produce a near-complete comparison of relative military strengths from across the globe. The user should note that nuclear capability is not taken into account for the final ranking for this listing is purely a "numbers game" meant to spark debate and including nuclear weapons would clearly defeat its purpose. Therefore GFP comparisons are for consideration in a conventional war based solely on each individual nation's capabilities on land, at sea and through the air while including logistical and financial aspects when waging total war. Sources are stated whenever possible though some statistics are estimated if official numbers are not available."

He argues that the failure to learn lessons from what was in fact a political and military disaster not only led to another disaster – Lebanon War II in 2006 – but could still lead to yet more bloody adventures." - also posted at ICH

Bilderberg Conference plots more turmoil in Russia
A quote...."This year’s Bilderberg conference featured three guests from Russia. However, unlike the “establishment” figures from Western nations, including the United States, Britain, Germany, France, and Canada, two of the three Russians represented the anti-Valdimir Putin opposition. Present at Bilderberg 2012 were Anatoly Chubais and Garry Kasparov, leading anti-Putin Russian politicians. -- Chubais is reviled among a majority of Russians for shepherding the wholesale privatization of Soviet and Russian Federation state enterprises under the administration of President Boris Yeltsin and Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin. The chief benefactors of the privatization were a handful of Russian entrepreneurs who soon became billionaire oligarchs. Many of these oligarchs soon found themselves in prison in Russia or in exile in Britain and Israel to avoid prosecution in Russia. Today, Chubais is the head of Rusnano, a leading Russian nanotechnology firm."

The term his staff uses, to be quite exact is “dangerous dimwit.”"

The Trouble with Rand Paul
2012 Election Cycle - A quote...."Rand Paul just endorsed a man who is deeply hostile to human liberty. -- Perhaps that’s Rand’s idea of playing politics? Come to the table, strike a deal, get what you can. Trouble is, it’s tough striking a good deal when the guy on the other side of the table believes that the government should be allowed to claim — without having to produce any evidence whatsoever — that certain people are terrorists, and therefore should be detained indefinitely without any kind of due process. -- That’s textbook tyranny." - also posted at ZeroHedge

Rand Paul has chosen his own path, one his father must not follow
2012 Election Cycle - A quote...."On June 7th Senator Rand Paul went on Sean Hannity’s show to officially endorse Mitt Romney’s candidacy for President.  The announcement shocked most supporters of Congressman Ron Paul, who as of this writing has still not officially dropped out of the race.  For those who saw Rand focus more and more on political wedge issues over the past year and voice support for Romney on another show a few weeks ago– having time to brace themselves for the impact of this inevitable announcement- the revelation wasn’t as jarring. -- For everyone else the news was a sudden, unexpected betrayal."

The "Solution" Is Collapse
A quote...."That which is painful to those collecting free money will be avoided, and that which is easy will be pursued until it's painful. Borrowing $1.5 trillion a year from toddlers and the unborn taxpayers of the future is easy and painless, as toddlers have no political power. So we will borrow from the powerless to fund our free money spigots until it becomes painful. -- It won't become painful to borrow from our grandkids for quite some time, and it will probably not become progressively painful, either, because we will suppress the pain with superlow interest rates and other trickery. The pain will more likely be of the sudden, unexpected, "this can't be happening to me" heart-attack sort: the free-money machine will unexpectedly grind to a halt in some sort of easily predictable but always-in-the-future crisis."  - also posted at ZeroHedge

Mike Krieger: China Will Blink And Gold Will Soar
Quote of the Day...."Ok so let’s start with the FOMC meetings.  Between now and election day there are four.  The first one as everyone know is June 20th, followed by August 1st, September 13th and then October 24th.  Many pundits claim that if the Fed is going to act they may as well do so well before the election so as not to appear to be “influencing the election.”  I’m not so sure about that.  Maybe in times past, when the power structure was a bit more reserved and less blatant about their corruption and manipulations.  They don’t hide that stuff anymore.  The “elites” in America today are simply gangsters.  We have already been officially christened as a Banana Republic.  The criminal behavior that now governs our political and economic system is now all out in the open for anyone with eyes to see.  They don’t care." - also posted at ZeroHedge

Spain too big for EU rescue fund as China recoils

"Expect To Be Disappointed" At These Crucial Dates For Europe
A quote...."The next few weeks consist of some crucial events - perhaps most notably the EU summit of 28-29 June - which create scope for governments to offer fundamental responses to the Euro crisis. Goldman Sachs, like us, expects to be disappointed and are not optimistic that resolution will be achieved in the near-term. Until the Franco-German axis at the heart of the Euro area can agree the terms at which sovereignty is foregone in return for a sharing of the debt overhang (and greater fiscal integration), other countries (potentially including larger more globally contagious nations like Spain and Italy) will be kept in a state that Goldman describes as 'suspended animation' via temporary support measures that contain - but do not resolve - their problems. This bodes ill for their real economic performance."

For what is disputable – no, let us say repugnant – about the official accounts of these events is not merely a difference in emphasis or nuance on the matter, which the adage may infer. It is rather that the victors’ version of history is a wholesale fabrication, an obscene travesty of actual events.

Must Read - A quote...."June 6, 2012 - As revelations emerge that the violence in Syria has been premeditated by Western planners years before the Arab Spring unfolded, and as the facade of "democratic aspirations" collapse in the face of a sectarian-driven bloodbath, US officials and Western think-tank policy makers speaking with Bloomberg have stated that their final message to Russia in order to begin regime change is essentially this: the violence will continue to be purposefully escalated until regime change is accomplished - Russia can capitulate now and have a say in how a transition occurs, or capitulate later and suffer exclusion as was the case in Libya."
Blatant Corporate Media Propaganda Inciting Hatred of Syria to Justify Intervention
A quote...."It's more obvious everyday that propaganda is getting more blatant, more in our face.  Mostly we just assume it has always been there but it's usually cleverly subtle.  Not lately though.  It's blood in your face time especially in regards to the "conflict" in Syria."

What is Really Happening in Syria?
Contains Video - Alt - A quote...."One quick-and-dirty but reasonably accurate way to figure out the truth, and sort out the worse guys from the bad guys, is to listen to Paul Wolfwowitz and other neocons: Whatever they say, you can bet, is a lie, and whoever they favor is almost certainly the greatest of the evils. So when Wolfwowitz appeared in the same BBC interview calling for an invasion of Syria, it’s a sure sign that all decent people should be opposing that prospect." - bold by website editor

Misunderstanding Russia On Syria
A quote...."The major mistake "western" writers make in their rather stupid comments is their misunderstanding of the Russian and Chinese position.This is not about a Russian harbor in the Mediterranean and not about cultural ties though there are intensive ones. -- To those countries the fight over Syria is a principle one. In their eyes the U.S. is trying to establish a dogma that inner strife in any country, even when fueled by outer interference, justifies the removal of a regime by force or other means."

Soros Connection – Part 2
A quote...."Avaaz.org claims to represent 5.5 million to 10 million people (depending on source) world-wide and sends petitions to those people to sign. The e-mail to me was un-solicited and how many others recieve e-mails in the same fashion? This article by avaaz.org was a fraud and a hoax blaming Syria for a massacre. Western governments have had operatives inside Syria for a long time, stirring-the-pot of Civil War, committing massacres that get blamed on the Syria government. -- As before, with Oxfam America.org. (funded by the Rockefeller Foundation); I began researching into who was behind avaaz.org, – who funded them? What I found was a viper’s nest leading to George Soros. But we can’t start with avaaz.org, we need to start with Res Publica ."

Inside The War State's Universe, Not Killing Is Not An Option
Special Note - A quote...."What makes this policy both more insidious and more disgusting is how reasonable it tries to sound. Nixon's gang of crooks looked like the sweaty, least popular members of their league bowling team. But the Times article depicts a sober gathering of technocrats. The debate is presided over by a man of almost Vedic calm. No paranoid, spitting recriminations and rants to Haldeman about "Hot pants! Jesus Christ!" When Obama makes an enemies list, there are footnotes. This is a baccalaureate committee, and some lucky Muslim is about to graduate a threat level. The Obama administration's procedural elements—as well as the conspicuously favorable leaks to the press detailing them—are designed to convince you that this is killing and malfeasance at its most urbane."

Corporate backing made the difference. The Democrat National Committee (DNC) gave no financial or campaign support. Neither did Obama. Effectively they conceded. Final results didn’t surprise."

Iraq War Reader: A History of War Crimes and Genocide. The Unleashing of America’s New Global Militarism
A quote...."The adage that “it is the victors who write history” in matters relating particularly to war and conflict is something of a euphemism when applied to recent military campaigns conducted by America and its NATO allies. For what is disputable – no, let us say repugnant – about the official accounts of these events is not merely a difference in emphasis or nuance on the matter, which the adage may infer. It is rather that the victors’ version of history is a wholesale fabrication, an obscene travesty of actual events. It is not a case of victors writing history, more one of victors “violating history”."

By ANY definition, by ANY criteria, this is pure, unadulterated, terrorism. It is murder plain and simple, it is collective summary execution of the neighbors, friends, family and children of the suspect(s), and it is a war crime punishable by death. Any American participating in these crimes should be identified for later prosecution and the imposition of civil and criminal penalties, either here in this country or overseas. - mpg

One would believe this to be a giant sprawling organization with hundreds of members working hard on the ground, documenting evidence in Syria with photographs and video, while coordinating with foreign press to transparently and objectively "observe" the "human rights" conditions in Syria, as well as demonstrate their methodologies.

Florida GOP Takes Voter Suppression to a Brazen New Extreme
2012 Election Cycle - (vote fraud) -- A quote...."Imagine this: a Republican governor in a crucial battleground state instructs his secretary of state to purge the voting rolls of hundreds of thousands of allegedly ineligible voters.

The number of voters prevented from casting a ballot exceeds the margin of victory in the razor-thin election, which ends up determining the next President of the United States. -- If this scenario sounds familiar, that’s because it happened in Florida in 2000. And twelve years later, just months before another presidential election, history is repeating itself."

1.6 Trillion Dollars More Debt: Fiscal Conservatives Have Been Raped By The Republican Party
A quote...."Back in 2010, the Tea Party was riding high and a flood of new Republicans was sent to the U.S. House of Representatives in one of the greatest landslides in U.S. political history.  On election night 2010, more House seats changed hands than in another other election since 1948.  It was the greatest defeat for any sitting president in a midterm election since 1938.  After the election, the Democrats were left with fewer House seats than at any other time since 1946.  Needless to say, it was an absolutely historic election.  The Tea Party completely dominated American politics that night, and they sent the Republican Party a clear message that they wanted government debt to be brought under control.  So what has changed since then?  Not much.  --  The U.S. government is still running trillion dollar deficits every single year." - also posted at BLN

The other, the Republic of Ireland, is a fair bit bigger, with a population of 4.6 million.

And in both countries a lightly regulated financial sector ran out of control...."

Christine Lagarde’s fairytale world
Special Note - A quote...."The reality, the harsh reality away from Lagarde’s fairy tales, is that taxes in Greece have increased tenfold over the past two years. And this has been accompanied by an evisceration of state services. At the moment even having access to basic prescription drugs is difficult — a situation that is likely to get worse in coming months since Greece has not been able to make payments to some major medical companies that supply the country’s drugs for the past 14 months. At the same time, electricity, water, and VAT bills have gone up significantly, while income tax has rocketed.  ---  Lagarde’s strategy of dismissing one problem (the Greek crisis) by invoking another one (the plights of Niger’s children), both of which are to a large extent a result of the sort of “free” market capitalism that the IMF has so enthusiastically embraced and promoted, is shameless and sickening, and disguises common underlying problems. In the make-believe world that Lagarde inhabits, globalization produces only wealth; poverty, whether in Greece or Niger, is determined by local factors."

West Desperately Attempts to Spin Syrian Crisis
Propaganda Alert - (The BBC....) -- A quote...."The BBC reported in their article that, "satellite images obtained by the BBC show clearly the location of Syrian military forces around the site of last week's massacre at Houla where 108 civilians died, including 49 children." This attempts to lead readers into believing the images were taken during the massacre. However, the images are taken a day after the attack, when UN monitors were already on scene, and who were already well aware of the positions of Syrian troops at that time. Not only that, but the monitors were in a  better position to discern conditions on the ground than BBC's "eye in the sky."

First interview with an eyewitness of the Houla massacre
A quote...."The town was attacked from the north-east by groups of bandits and mercenaries, numbering up to 700 people. The militants came from Ar-Rastan (the Brigade of al-Farouk from the Free Syrian Army led by the terrorist Abdul Razak Tlass and numbering 250), from the village of Akraba (led by the terrorist Yahya Al-Yousef), from the village Farlaha, joined by local gangsters, and from Al Hula."

Don't be fooled people, there will be a lot of mass-media news organizations in the US-NRE who'll be spouting the usual BS about the "fog of war" etc.  But they knew what the truth was regarding Houla all along, and they simply didn't care.  They thought the government propaganda they were  spewing all over the people of this nation about Houla was done for the usual reasons, to support the Imperial policy of this nation's  parasites. That's partly true, however, when they give out false information that protects the slaughterers of innocents, and worse, when their false information allows these "terrorists" to continue their slaughter, that's not just "propaganda", actions like that are normally described as an accessory after the fact, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy to commit murder.  In other words they are fully culpable for large scale terrorist acts of murder.  Let the trials, convictions and executions begin. - mpg

Obama At Large: Where Are The Lawyers?
A quote...."By Ralph Nader -- The rule of law is rapidly breaking down at the top levels of our government.

The conservative American Bar Association sent three white papers to President Bush describing his continual unconstitutional policies. Then and now civil liberties groups and a few law professors, such as the stalwart David Cole of Georgetown University and Jonathan Turley of George Washington University, have distinguished themselves in calling out both presidents for such violations and the necessity for enforcing the rule of law."

It's the Corporate State, Stupid
A quote...."11/10/04 "ICH" -- The early twentieth century Italians, who invented the word fascism, also had a more descriptive term for the concept -- estato corporativo: the corporatist state. Unfortunately for Americans, we have come to equate fascism with its symptoms, not with its structure. The structure of fascism is corporatism, or the corporate state. The structure of fascism is the union, marriage, merger or fusion of corporate economic power with governmental power. Failing to understand fascism, as the consolidation of corporate economic and governmental power in the hands of a few, is to completely misunderstand what fascism is. It is the consolidation of this power that produces the demagogues and regimes we understand as fascist ones."

Stealth Turkey
Weapons Tech Note - A quote...."If an enemy fighter does go looking for an F-35, the stealth plane will be in trouble. The design characteristics required for (non-existent) stealth make the plane a grape. It has a thrust-to-weight ratio of just .85:1, less than the F-15, F-16, and most foreign fighters, which means its acceleration is sluggish. Even worse, its wing is so small that every square foot has to support more than 108 pounds of weight. That high wing loading means the F-35 is even less maneuverable than the infamous F-105 of the Vietnam War, which was hated by pilots, who called it the “Thud” or the “Lead Sled.” Its inability to maneuver made the F-105 the favorite target of Hanoi’s MiG-21 pilots. What do you call a fighter that can’t accelerate and can’t turn? A kill."
