The recent agreement that Iran reached with the P5+1 powers has been both a cause for celebration for some, but a cause for consternation for others.
The primary whiner is Israeli PM Netanyahoo, who has been foaming at the mouth and making dire predictions of an impending Iranian nuclear bomb which will be used to destroy Israel and the west.
On que, the rabid Zionist rabble from AIPAC and other pro-Israeli organizations and fronts, have been in full offensive mode to discredit, ruin and abrogate this agreement that was signed in Geneva on November 24.
The servile congress critters have been falling over themselves to be the first to condemn the agreement and vow to make sure it does not hold.
There is even talk of passing new sanctions on Iran, even though they would not kick in after six months; although it is clear they are doing this to make sure that the agreement does not hold.
Iran has already said that if any new sanctions are passed before the six months are up, Iran will no longer be held to the agreement. This may be precisely what the Zionist-bought congress vermin want. Then they can go on TV and say that Iran broke its word.
It is doubtful congress would pass any agreement-killing sanctions now. If it does, the US will be on the hook for breaking its word in front of the world. This would not look good for Obummer who has been struggling to do something right.
But why would these people not want a peaceful resolution and a thaw in relations with Iran? It seems like this would decrease tension and danger in that volatile region.
As I said in an earlier post, it has to do with entrenched interests in the US which benefit greatly from having Iran as an enemy, the most obvious beneficiary being Israel.
Israel needs a fake Iranian boogeyman with which to scare Jews and keep their ethnic cohesion. It also needs Iran to distract the world from Israel’s occupation and abuse of Palestinians.
If Iran restores relations with the west and is no longer seen as a threat, who else is there that Israel can use as a convenient boogeyman? Syria has shown remarkable restraint, especially after they agreed to scrap their chemical weapons program in good faith, so they can be crossed out as a potential threat to the survival of Israel.
Israel needs an enemy. It needs it to justify abhorrent and illegal activities. After the Geneva agreement was signed, the world saw that the Iranians are a pragmatic and sensible people, and not the mad and destructive fanatics Zionist propaganda has shown them to be.
After Iran signed this agreement, it significantly weakened the effect and appeal of Zionist propaganda and anti-Iranian fear-mongering.
Israel does not fear an Iranian nuclear weapon or an Iranian attack. What it fears most is a peaceful Iran and a restoration of relations between it and the west. This is the greatest Zionist fear.
The Zionists loved Ahmadinejad and his defiance. It justified so much despicable Zionist lies.
Now, under a new and more moderate Iranian administration, there's not much to fume about, so the Zionists are trying to work overtime to make up the most absurd and nutty claims to discredit and provoke Iran further.
But hopefully Iran check-mates the zionists just as it has check-mated them up to now.

In Debt We Trust
Another interesting and nausea-inducing fiscal fight in congress and the White House is upon us.
This seems to be a yearly ritual around October.
The fight is over how to fund the government and keep it going. It is also about addressing the so-called debt ceiling which is the maximum amount of money the US can borrow. When this amount reaches max, the US government cannot borrow anymore and can no longer carry out its operations.
In a nutshell, it means the US is broke and cannot live without borrowing money from others.
Of course, the truth is even deeper and more complicated than that.
Although this country is broke, and cannot pay its own bills without borrowing, the so-called government shutdown threat is actually artificial and unnecessary. It is a tactic used by political operatives on both sides to wrangle concessions for themselves, their buddies and wealthy corporate campaign donors at the expense of working stiffs out there.
What is going on is this.
The US is financially bankrupt. It’s broke. It cannot pay its bills on its own, regardless of Obama’s PR slogans to the contrary.
Even worse, the US economic system has failed.
Other countries, including the ones who prop up the US with loans, know these facts.
But here’s the rub: those countries cannot stop lending the US money even though they know the US is practically insolvent and has been for a long time.
Why?
Because the US economy has been based on fraud and deceit for such a long time, that the economic house of cards it has built up has gotten too unwieldy. It has also ensnared many other countries in this web of debt and fraud to the point that if they cut off loans to the US, their own economies will collapse as well.
So these countries have two choices.
They can keep on financing the broken and failed US economy and keep theirs limping along, or they can cut off the loans to the US, call in their debts and watch their own economies and societies go to economic hell.
But these countries know the terrible repercussions that would stem from exercising the latter option, so they opt for the former one. It is for this very reason why the so-called debt ceiling will perpetually go up and foreigners will always be there to prop-up the broke US with loans.
That’s why this fiscal cliff fight is BS and why this government shutdown is unnecessary. Foreign countries pretty much HAVE to loan the US money.
This will be the case until countries which loan the US money wise up, cut off the line of credit, take a hit and rearrange the world economy in a more responsible and saner way.
Besides, the US is simply too far down the debt hole anyway. Shutting down some of the government is not going to help.
What this government shut-down is all about is protecting the handouts and subsidies the US government gives to the wealthy and the corporations, both who have been seeing record profits and accumulation of wealth during this depression.
And where do these handouts come from?
They come from whittling away at Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and other vital social safety net programs which keep many afloat and from literally starving. They also come from cuts made to government employment rolls, thereby contributing to higher unemployment at a time when too many are already without jobs.
So when you start hearing any politician talk about how “unaffordable” social programs are, this is just code-speak for taking money out of social programs and giving it to the wealthy and the corporate swine.

This is what is really going on, and has been behind these
fiscal cliff fights for some years now. All the rest is smokescreen. Plus, the
US military, the biggest financial burden, and one that is already over-funded,
will be kept running no matter what, which shows what this is all about.
And when this fiscal cliff circus is all over, and the
Democrats and Republicans together with Obummer reach their “agreement,” more
money will be stolen from social programs and given over to the millionaires.
It’s all about robbing the middle-class without making it
look like it.
And next year, this Kabuki dance will start once again,
leading to the same results.

Iran vs. US
Much has been made lately about the diplomatic flirting between the new Iranian president Rohani and his troubled US counterpart Barack Obama.
After their speeches at the UN and the phone-call Obama made to Rohani after the latter was leaving the US, people are starting to envision some great breakthrough and thaw in relations between the US and Iran. Some have even talked of a Nixon moment, where Obama will reopen relations with Iran and start on the way of cooperation and normalized relations.
While such a scenario would be great, and I personally think it is high time for it, I just cannot be optimistic about the future of Iranian-US relations.
Let’s not forget that the US and the west have been tormenting Iran for sixty years now.
First, Operation Ajax, which was a joint effort between Great Britain and the US to overthrow the Iranian Prime Minister Mossadegh in 1953, even though he was a democratically-elected leader.
Mossadegh’s overthrow cleared the way for US/western-supported autocrat Shah Reza Pahlavi to ascend to the leadership of Iran. This ushered in decades of political and social repression, torture, disappearance and hardship for Iranians.
The Shah’s notorious secret police, the SAVAK, whom the US and the zionist regimes trained, were responsible for rounding up and torture of anyone who was seen as a threat to the ruling western-supported dynasty.
In 1979, when the Iranians successfully overthrew the Shah and he was forced to flee, the US and the west started enacting sanctions to make life as hard as possible for Iran. This trend continues to this day.
The US also convinced Iraq to invade Iran in 1979. Throughout the war, the US and other western countries assisted Iraq with training, intelligence data and weapons sales. They also sold to Iraq chemical weapons which were then used on Iranians, with US knowledge and acquiescence.
Lately, the US and the west, together with their MEK terrorist allies and the zionist shit-pit have been launching cyber attacks against Iranian nuclear installations and hired murderers to kill Iranian nuclear scientists.
Let’s also not forget the broken-record talk from Obama and the rest of the pathetic gaggle of murderers on Capitol Hill about threatening Iran with military action.
So it is not hard to see why Iran may be just a tad bit distrustful of US words and intentions, even when the US establishment regime tries to change its rhetoric to one of peace and conciliation.
Barack Obama said during his first election campaign that if elected, he will talk with Iran and try to bridge their differences in a peaceful way.
But if Obama and the current US administration truly wanted to change their relations with Iran for the better, they would have started doing so on January 22, 2009-the day after Obama was sworn in as president for his first term.
But what Obama did was enact more sanctions, threats, launched computer viruses and assassinated Iranian scientists. These are not the acts of a president and a government that want peace with Iran. The US even enacted more sanctions right after Rohani was sworn in as president, and that was just last month!
What message does this send? I think that this phone call and the “thaw” rhetoric from Obama and his miserable regime are nothing but a ploy to prod Rohani and the new Iranian govt to see if they can be tricked and bought-off cheap into doing what the west and the zionist mafia-state wants.
If Rohani does not fall for the ruse and sticks to Iran's rights, it will be sanctions and threats all over again. There will be no changes in US policy towards Iran.
The US ruling regime is too morally and intellectually decrepit and incapable of acting in a normal, transparent and decent way.
The pro-zionist creatures embedded at all levels of the US government own US policy on the Mideast and Iran and they will do whatever they can to make sure there is no peace.
Too many careers and generous paychecks depend on perpetuating the fake Iranian threat. If Iran is no longer a threat, a lot of peoples’ careers and livelihoods and positions of power and authority will be gone. This is why the ruling US regime will not let this happen.
These freaks NEED Iran as an enemy because this stance justifies so many policies which benefit a lot of establishment figures and their pals.
There are only three options the ruling US fascist establishment will tolerate as far as Iran goes:
1. Keep Iran as it is and make people think it is a threat to be contained
2. Try to buy off its government
3. Overthrow it using subterfuge, fake western-funded and controlled pro-democracy groups, mass protests and/or military means
I personally think that Iran should stop trying to explain itself to the US and the west and build a nuclear deterrent. This is the only way Iran will ever be left alone and respected. It is, ironically, the only way towards any kind of genuine rapprochement with the west, since with nuclear weapons Iran’s strength will be right on par with world powers.
Furthermore, why should Iran listen to hypocritical lecturing and finger-pointing by the US or any other states who demand that Iran suspend its uranium enrichment and stop its nuclear work, when those nations’ arsenals bristle with thousands of nuclear weapons.
No country that currently possesses nuclear weapons has the right to accuse and condemn other nations for pursuing nuclear research and development!
Those nations who have nuclear weapons must first get rid of them, and only then can they lecture others and make demands. It is not surprising that Iran does not want to listen to the whining coming out of Washington and Brussels. It would show a serious lack of common sense for Iran to listen to anything the west demands.
The current animosity between Iran and the US has nothing to do with Iran’s nuclear program or any imaginary nuclear weapons the US says Iran possesses. This has always been a red herring.
It has to do with punishing Iran for the embarrassment, anger and resentment the US and the west feel for having been bested by the Iranians in 1979. It also has to do with the loss of control and profits from Iran’s oil resources.
All the rest is bullshit.

O-Bomber's Hairy Kerry Part 2
It looks like the American population and Russia has put the warmongering creatures Obama and Kerry in their place.
Without proof and popular/international support their hasty plans for another illegal war based on lies went awry.
After Putin’s op-ed article in the NYT, Hairy Kerry, Obummer and other assorted and unrepentant congress critters have been hitting the airwaves trying to clean off some of the mud they were dragged through by Russia by whining and falsely accusing Russia of not pursuing the path to peace like the US wanted.
But if memory serves me correctly (and it does), I recall for two years now it was the US warmongers who were hell-bent on violence.
It was the US which from the beginning called for unilateral, unreasonable and illegal methods to end the Syrian crisis.
US UN ex-representative Susan Rice-now Samantha Power, Obummer, KILLary Clinton and now Kerry have from the beginning called for a UN resolution which puts all the blame for the violence and unrest in Syria on Bashar Al Assad, demanded military action, that Assad step down “immediately” and now accused the Syrian government of gassing its own people, without any evidence to back it up and against plain logic.
Add to that, the US has supported Al Qaeda-linked fanatic militants in Syria, both domestic and foreign, with weapons and training.
On the contrary, it was Russia which from the beginning has called for a negotiated solution to the crisis. It asked the Syrian government, rebels and the US to cease fighting and convene a conference to resolve the unrest through negotiations.
It was Russia who more than a year ago announced that it was ready to stop the sale of arms to Damascus, and back a total arms embargo on Syria at the UN, if the US and its allies stopped the flow of arms to the rebels, in order to force both sides to negotiate.
It was Russia who a week ago brokered a deal which would see Syria hand over and eliminate its CW stockpiles, while the rabid White House screamed for war.
So which side has been for peace and which for violence?
Furthermore, the argument that Russia is only looking out for its own interests in Syria as far as weapons sales and its Tartus naval base goes, and does not really care about the Syrian people, is not credible, as any so-called argument coming out of Washington against Syria has been.
Why? Because we are not seeing Russia exploiting the unrest in US-backed autocracies in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar to form and arm rebel movements which want to overthrown those governments and end up causing violence and death on a mass scale, in order to further Russian geopolitical interests and kick the US out of the Mideast as the US certainly plans to kick out Russia.
It is clear that those who are calling for an attack on Syria are genetically defective creatures. Such people are the main problem; such people are not capable of peaceful solutions whatsoever.
The US MUST be forced to do the right thing or else it will just keep on doing things the absolute wrong way. It seems that Russia understands this.
The UN investigators are due to present their findings about the August 21st chemical attack in Damascus today. Hopefully the report has not been doctored up to falsely implicate the Syrian government.
But one thing stands out about this chemical attack:
It is very suspect that from the beginning the US has put the blame for the CW attacks on the Syrian government.
The US purports to have "overwhelming" evidence to back up their accusations, but refuses to share it. Then the US turns around and tells the UN that the CW inspectors mandate must be limited only to determining if, and what type of chemical weapons were used, but not investigating WHO used them.
Surely if the US government is telling the truth and their evidence is full-proof, they would be very eager for the UN investigators to find out WHO used them.
But Bashar Al Assad and the Syrian government are to blame for one thing.
A year or more ago, the US decided to use any use of CW by Syria as a “red line,” that if crossed, would invite a military response.
At around the same time, the rebels said they have access to chemical weapons and threatened to use them.
The Syrian government should have immediately seen the writing on the wall and quickly moved to get rid of these chemical weapons with Russian and UN cooperation, before their presence in Syrian arsenals was exploited by the rebels and their sponsors to launch false-flag attacks.
The Syrian authorities should of realized back then that if any chemical weapons went off, Syria would be blamed, and calls for military intervention would follow from the US and their cohorts.
Plus, since the Syrian military has been able to beat back the rebels using conventional means, the chemical weapons were an unnecessary political and strategic liability.
It is therefore imperative that Russia not let the US and its allies use any pending UN resolution as an excuse for war.
Threats of military force must not be allowed in any UN resolutions or else the US and their pals will seek to corrupt and ruin the disarmament process in order to create an excuse to attack Syria.
Syria’s CW disarmament process cannot be turned into another never-ending Iraq inspections fiasco which only serves the interests of the CIA and Mossad and in the end is used as a catalyst for war by the criminal US regime.

O-Bomber's Hairy Kerry
It seems Team Obummer just does not want peace. They keep on coming up with all sorts of absurd reasons for war with Syria. They talk about no boots on the ground, limited and small bombing campaigns, threats to national security, anything to please their swollen and itchy trigger finger.
I swear any minute now Obummer and Company are just going to come out in front of the cameras and state they are going to attack Syria just because they can, or maybe because it will be good for economic recovery.
One of the latest farcical excuses Obomber and Company have concocted to justify military intervention in Syria, is the presence of Islamic extremists in Syria.
Yes, that’s right. The same Islamic extremists the US together with their European and Arab autocrat poodles sent, armed, trained and are supporting against the Syrian government.
This is got to be the most cruel hoax Obomber and his warmongering sycophants could ever give to excuse a war. It is a stab in the back to the very foundation of the concepts of logic and integrity.
This is basically what the US is doing:
1. US foments a fake rebellion in order to overthrow Assad
2. US and its allies train and arm militants who are allied with Al Qaeda, sends them into Syria, where they end up causing mayhem and massacres and launch chemical weapons
3. Then the US uses the presence of these fanatics in Syria as a reason for intervention to prevent these people from someday being a "security threat" to the US (a threat the US created in the first place)
4. But, get this, IF the US attacks Syria, it won’t be attacking those Al Qaeda-linked militants; it will attack the government forces of Bashar Al Assad, the secular leader who is fighting the very same terrorists the US sees as a threat to the US!
Obummer is playing a sick and cruel joke on the world. This can be plainly seen.
The mumbling and stumbling Obummer and his pal Hairy Kerry have been suffering setback after setback in their lie-ridden drive to war. Their so-called evidence is nothing but a feces pile of cherry-picked and hyped-up assumptions and insinuations. Add to this, Syria has called team Obummer’s bluff and agreed to the Russian proposal to mothball its chemical weapons.
This has taken the wind out of Obummer’s sails and he was forced to call off his attack dogs.
But it is evident that Russia has used its power to put the US in its place. Russia’s efforts thwarted a looming illegal war of aggression and have thrown enough wildcards into the mix that prevents Obummer from doing anything stupid, lest he wants to go down in history as worse than Bush, which once was though impossible.
Russia should use this momentum wisely.
A UN resolution is now in the works which will govern the Syrian CW disarmament process. Russia should use this as an opportunity to end this crisis once and for all and prevent the US from sabotaging the inspections process.
Among some things, the resolution must demand that ALL sides stop the stockpiling and use of chemical weapons.
Also, Russia must demand that this resolution is contingent on the US calling off its threats of war and promising to pursue a peaceful path to resolving the Syrian crisis.
And finally, if the US demands that the UN resolution contains a clause that either blames the CW attack of August 21 on the Syrian government or a threat of military action for Syrian non-compliance with its disarmament obligations, Russia must demand that the condition for signing on to this is contingent on US unconditionally handing over ALL evidence it has to back up their accusations that the Syrian government was responsible for launching the CW attacks last month to whoever wants it, including Syria. Russia’s agreement to the two clauses mentioned above must also be contingent on the evidence the US provides being genuine and solid after it is thoroughly fact-checked and all points investigated as true.
Anything less that is unacceptable.
P.S.-Obama’s speech on Tuesday night was filled with hyperbole and hypocrisy. He foolishly compared Assad to Hitler, called anyone using chemical weapons a criminal tyrant and tried to convince people that such tyrants must be stopped.
But Obummer omitted certain unpleasant and embarrassing facts in his speech: The use of Agent Orange in Vietnam which has caused birth defects in children up until today; the US and European sale of chemical weapons material to Iraq which was used by Saddam Hussein against the Iranians and the Kurds in the 1980s, with US help and blessing; Israel’s stockpiling of WMD and use against Palestinians in 2009 during the attack on Gaza Strip; US use of depleted uranium and white phosphorus on the battlefield, and as recent as Iraq, and of course, the biggest omission of all-the US use of the atomic bomb on Japan. The US is the ONLY country to do so to this day; not to mention the use of chemical weapons by dear ally Great Britain throughout history-in fact none other than Winston Churchill praised and encourage the use of chemical weapons on Palestinians and Afghans during Britain’s occupation of those lands.
With his speech, Obama has truly solidified his position as not only a liar but as a hypocrite and as one of the most warmongering neo-cons to have ever slithered out of the sewer.
I swear any minute now Obummer and Company are just going to come out in front of the cameras and state they are going to attack Syria just because they can, or maybe because it will be good for economic recovery.
One of the latest farcical excuses Obomber and Company have concocted to justify military intervention in Syria, is the presence of Islamic extremists in Syria.
Yes, that’s right. The same Islamic extremists the US together with their European and Arab autocrat poodles sent, armed, trained and are supporting against the Syrian government.
This is got to be the most cruel hoax Obomber and his warmongering sycophants could ever give to excuse a war. It is a stab in the back to the very foundation of the concepts of logic and integrity.
This is basically what the US is doing:
1. US foments a fake rebellion in order to overthrow Assad
2. US and its allies train and arm militants who are allied with Al Qaeda, sends them into Syria, where they end up causing mayhem and massacres and launch chemical weapons
3. Then the US uses the presence of these fanatics in Syria as a reason for intervention to prevent these people from someday being a "security threat" to the US (a threat the US created in the first place)
4. But, get this, IF the US attacks Syria, it won’t be attacking those Al Qaeda-linked militants; it will attack the government forces of Bashar Al Assad, the secular leader who is fighting the very same terrorists the US sees as a threat to the US!
Obummer is playing a sick and cruel joke on the world. This can be plainly seen.
The mumbling and stumbling Obummer and his pal Hairy Kerry have been suffering setback after setback in their lie-ridden drive to war. Their so-called evidence is nothing but a feces pile of cherry-picked and hyped-up assumptions and insinuations. Add to this, Syria has called team Obummer’s bluff and agreed to the Russian proposal to mothball its chemical weapons.
This has taken the wind out of Obummer’s sails and he was forced to call off his attack dogs.
But it is evident that Russia has used its power to put the US in its place. Russia’s efforts thwarted a looming illegal war of aggression and have thrown enough wildcards into the mix that prevents Obummer from doing anything stupid, lest he wants to go down in history as worse than Bush, which once was though impossible.
Russia should use this momentum wisely.
A UN resolution is now in the works which will govern the Syrian CW disarmament process. Russia should use this as an opportunity to end this crisis once and for all and prevent the US from sabotaging the inspections process.
Among some things, the resolution must demand that ALL sides stop the stockpiling and use of chemical weapons.
Also, Russia must demand that this resolution is contingent on the US calling off its threats of war and promising to pursue a peaceful path to resolving the Syrian crisis.
And finally, if the US demands that the UN resolution contains a clause that either blames the CW attack of August 21 on the Syrian government or a threat of military action for Syrian non-compliance with its disarmament obligations, Russia must demand that the condition for signing on to this is contingent on US unconditionally handing over ALL evidence it has to back up their accusations that the Syrian government was responsible for launching the CW attacks last month to whoever wants it, including Syria.

Obama's War Circus Clowns
Obama , Kerry and the rest of the nutcases in the US government have been falling over themselves to lie and manipulate the public into supporting another war based on false accusations and lies.
After being told by the American people and the world that a military attack is unacceptable, Obama’s scummy handlers trotted out atrocity propaganda videos of the aftermath of the supposed chemical attack on August 21st. The attack showed dead children lying next to each other.
The pictures and videos came out just a few hours after the attack, which begs the question: how could these videos and pictures proliferate so quickly and so soon after the initial attacks? Most likely they were faked beforehand and quickly published. There are other such anomalies if one cares to examine this chemical attack “evidence” carefully.
The pathetic US mainstream media have on cue been acting as the White House cheerleaders, swallowing whatever garbage is fed to them by Obummer and his cohorts.
This is the same servile behavior we saw in the run-up to the Iraq debacle. The US media, after what happened in Iraq, still refuses to do their job. They refuse to question, to doubt, to analyze, to investigate. They just take Obama and Kerry's bullshit on faith.
But once again they are embarrassing themselves by providing a pulpit to degenerate liars and despicable warmongers and they will pay the price sooner or later.
The desperate Obama, isolated and ridiculed with no credible evidence to show, has been scraping the bottom of the barrel for any and all support from anyone to be a part of his coalition of the killing.
Just the other day he boasted that the number of countries support him is in the double digits. But a closer examination shows that these countries are either a)majority NATO members b)Arab states who support the Syrian militants already c)poor nations most likely coerced into this so-called coalition by bribery and/or threats of economic and diplomatic reprisals.
But the reality is that Obama has no true support, as most if not all people in those countries are against any attack on Syria. All that Obama has is a bunch of miserable and cowardly politicians who sell themselves out for cheap. Obama does not have these countries support; he has the subservience of their ruling political class.
With each passing day, the US case for war grows more shaky and ridiculous. To counter this, the Obama team has been screaming out their lies louder and louder, no doubt to cover up the ugly truth as to WHO were the real culprits behind this CW attack.
This has been followed up by discredited and outright lies by Mr. Kerry, such as that the rebels do not have chemical weapons or rockets. There is a lot of documented proof, from the militants themselves, that they have rockets.
Furthermore, what about the FACT that in the spring of 2013 Carla Del Ponte, the UN Human Rights Council chair reached the conclusion that rebels were most likely behind chemical attacks in Syria earlier this spring?
What about the FACT that rebels were arrested by Turkish police inside Turkey, with chemical weapon compounds in their apartment?
What about the FACT that some rebels have accidentally killed themselves inside tunnels by coming into contact with improperly stored barrels of chemical compounds used to make weapons?
Of course, Team Obama has chosen to ignore such evidence.
Obama has stressed that the US government has evidence supporting their view that the Syrian government is responsible for launching.
But the US refuses to share this so-called evidence and will not open this evidence up to closer scrutiny, citing “national security.”
Now, let’s look at this with logic.
If someone has solid and irrefutable evidence of wrongdoing against a criminal, and that person is called a liar and no one believes them, that person would naturally be throwing this evidence in the face of everyone they can find to prove that they are right and honest. They would definitely not keep it secret and make themselves look like lying fools.
But Team Obomber is doing just that. This is the number-one sign that they are lying and that the evidence they have is not worth used toilet paper.
Perhaps they are worried what would happen if the provenance of this so-called intelligence is found: rebel propaganda, made-up CIA fairytales, and Israeli deceptions like we saw regarding Iraq in 2003. I doubt there’s anything more to it than that.
Recently, Russian president Vladimir Putin has thrown a wildcard into the ring by suggesting that Syria scrap its chemical weapons in return for US agreeing to stop all war preparations. Syrian has shown support for this plan and is ready to cooperate.
This is a very shrewd move and it says some important things:
1. Syrian government is innocent of the accusations made against it because they would not allow anyone near their chemical weapons if they were guilty. Those CW could then be matched up with whatever the UN found in Ghouta, if the Syrian military launched them.
2. Syrian government gives a damn about its people since they are ready to give up a powerful deterrent in the name of preventing the loss of more Syrian lives to foreign warmongers
3. By giving up its chemical weapons stockpiles, the Syrians and Russians are also depriving the rebels of these weapons as well. If Syria scraps them, the rebels can no longer use them to stage false flag attacks and the US can no longer blame the Syrian government of using CW they no longer have. This takes a major benefit away from the US side, since all other excuses for intervention have failed and been worn out.
Of course, the US may exploit this agreement to enact never-ending/open-ended intrusive inspections, Iraq-style, with moving goalposts in order to prevent giving Syria a clean bill of health.
There is a lot of opportunity for the US regime to use any inspection process which may follow to torment and undermine Syria and demand that the agreement authorized military action should Syria fail to comply.
Then the US and the Zionist mafia-state would do everything in their power to make sure these inspections fail and never reach a peaceful conclusion.
Thankfully, after more than twenty years of US deception and duplicity in Iraq and elsewhere, Russia will keep a close eye on any future disarmament efforts in Syria and will not allow it to degenerate into one big US-led provocation for another illegal war.
As things stand, Obama and his administration are liars. They have no credible evidence, they have no case. Whether Obama gets his votes or not from congress, he will be committing an illegal act of aggression against Syria if he attacks.
Obama has painted himself into a tight corner with his lies. His rhetoric is becoming more ridiculous and incoherent every the day. He lies to cover up his own responsibility for the chemical attack in Syria and to protect the Al-Qaeda-linked militants the US and some European countries support.
Add to that the fact that the majority of the American public does not support him, the UN has turned its back as has NATO and his so-called allies.
Obama now stands alone.
Putin has just thrown him a lifeline.
Does Obama have enough decency and intelligence to take it?
We shall judge Obama’s true intentions by the choice he makes.
Is he a Nobel Peace Prize winner or a miserable Dubya wannabe warmonger?

The Syrian Saga Continues...
The Syrian saga continues with the warmonger-in-chief Obama announcing that he will seek congressional approval from Congress for a military strike on Syria to punish it for launching chemical weapons. If he does not get it, he will act on his own, in true dictator fashion.
But Obama has come under increasing pressure and isolation from allies as well as public opinion, domestic and foreign. The UN has shot his war-dementia down as well.
People just don’t buy his fact-free rhetoric about the Syrian government being responsible for launching chemical weapons. Indeed, some US government officials as well as foreign leaders have stated that there is no proof which implicates Syria.
Earlier this week, Mr. Obama suffered a black eye (no pun intended) when the British government voted down PM David Cameron’s drive to war. Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded that Obama show Russia and the UN the evidence he supposedly has which points to Syrian government responsibility for the CW attack.
But for course, Mr. Obama does not care. In his desperation, he has launched a publicity campaign to make a fraudulent case for war, and on a Saturday during Labor Day weekend.
But his so-called evidence is just a pile of trash, ala Iraq, cobbled up from rebel You Tube videos, rebel testimony, classified intelligence which cannot be shared because of national security concerns, and a bunch of talking points and heart-rending stories meant to mislead and manipulate the public.
Any intelligent person with an ounce of integrity can clearly see that Obama is lying. His attempts at blocking the work of UN investigators, disregarding their work and any evidence they may have, and his quick rush to war shows that this miserable bastard is trying to hide something.
A few days ago I caught a snippet of a TV program featuring Hal Lindsey, the fundamentalist Christian end-times preacher. He cast doubt on whether attacking Syria is a good idea and whether the Syrian government is responsible for the CW attacks.
Now if Hal Lindsey gets it, WTF is wrong with people who believe Obummer?
Of course, Obama says that any attack will be limited and meant to just send a message to Assad.
But Obama is lying, just as he lied about Libya.
A limited strike will not be all that he will do.
If Obama succeeds in attacking Syria, even on his own without congressional approval, he will set a convenient precedent for himself.
There may be another chemical attack a week or so after the 1st bombing which will again be blamed on Syria, and again Obama will order a limited strike. And this fraudulent scenario will be repeated over and over until Obama whittles away at so much of Syrian strength that regime change will be inevitable, because regime change is the desired end-result of all this.
It will be either this or a fierce counterattack by Syria and its allies against US bases and interests and against the Zionist mafia-state. If this happens, the results are just too horrible to imagine.
Obama has also been trying to con the public into accepting an intervention by saying that it will be limited to just a few hours and will not involve any US troops. As if this makes everything alright!
Obama may also be using the limited strike lie to provoke Syria into a retaliation that could cause major damage for the US military, such as sinking a ship or shooting down its aircraft.
This in turn would create a great excuse for Obama to call for an all-out attack on Syria by using Syria’s legitimate right to defend itself as some great act of treachery against the US. This would rally public opinion in the US to Obama’s side and he could then escalate the war, bringing in hesitant allies.
But as things stand, Obama has no evidence to back up his accusations against Syria, regardless of the hype he has been spreading.
Obama stands isolated and alone. The American public does not support him; the world does not support him; the UN is not on-board as isn’t NATO or any allied government. Even some in the US congress are squeamish. Protests against any intervention in Syria are already occurring.
Bottom line is that Obama has no case to make without solid and credible proof that the Syrian government ordered the launch of CW. Syria is not a threat to the US. He has no UN mandate and hopefully congress votes him down.
Obama does not give a damn about the Syrian people. If he did, he would not have helped fuel a fake rebellion for over two years which has devastated Syria and killed so many of its people. He would also not train Al Qaeda-linked rebels to launch false-flag chemical attacks, blame it on someone else, and then state that he will help the Syrian people by launching more bombs which will end up killing even more of those people he professes to care so much about.
The US objective in Syria is to overthrow its government, install a puppet regime, and hit back against Russia, Iran and Hezbollah who support Assad and his government.
This has to do with furthering US strategic and economic interests, not helping the Syrian people.
Obama wants to punish Assad not for launching chemical attacks.
He wants to punish Assad for daring to successfully defy and resist the US Empire and its scummy proxy militants.
It is up to everyone to demand that Obama not be given any aid or authority to launch any wars of aggression or any limited strikes. Without solid evidence, all these moves will be illegal, regardless of whether congress gives him a green light or not.
People worldwide, especially Americans, must make clear to Obama that if he launches another war based on lies and fake evidence that he will be the one who will face punishment, including impeachment.
We are seeing the same lies and manipulation which were employed ten years ago against Iraq. These lies and false accusations are also being regurgitated by some of the same criminals who gave a nod to the illegal invasion of Iraq back then.
Hopefully this time people notice and will not allow another obscenity to become reality.

Psychopaths on Parade
The US government’s depravity in regards to its rhetoric and actions in Syria have reached Hitlerian levels.
Only a damn liar or a damn fool would think that the Syrian government is responsible for launching a chemical attack, which would pave the way for foreign intervention.
It shows how much contempt the US regime has for their own citizens and the entire world when it makes false and absurd accusations such as these.
No intelligent, fair-minded and conscientious person believes the false and dangerous accusations coming out of the US regime officials and their allies’ mouths about Syrian responsibility for a chemical attack that goes against Syria’s interests.
These chemical attacks were launched by the rebels, with US/western and possibly Zionist aid, and falsely blamed on the Syrian government-without proof, of course.
The incompetent western-sponsored militants have failed in their objectives and are suffering great losses at the hands of the Syrian military forces. Their backs are now against the wall and they smell defeat. All the weapons they have been given by the west and Arab sheikhdoms have achieved nothing. Therefore, they staged chemical attacks in collusion with the US, and other foreign governments, who want to overthrown the Syrian government.
Earlier today, US Secretary of State, John Kerry, called the Syrian government “depraved” and accused them of launching the chemical attack.
What is depraved is the US support for Al Qaeda-linked militants in Syria who bomb, murder, decapitate, eat organs of dead Syrian soldiers and destroy churches and mosques, while the US government issues “terror alerts” and claiming to fight Al Qaeda somewhere else.
What is depraved is the US and its allies launching this latest false-flag chemical attack and then falsely blaming it on the Syrian government which is fighting Al Qaeda-linked terror squads.
What is depraved is US/western support of terror against the Syrian population and claiming to be helping them.
What is depraved is the US allying itself with some of the most undemocratic, despotic and despicable regimes on earth, like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain in order to bring “democracy and freedom” to Syria.
What is depraved is the US threatening to send missiles and bombs over Syria which will end up killing civilians and then saying that it is saving lives.
What is depraved is how the rest of the world just stands by and allows itself to be lied into another atrocity by the evil US Empire and does nothing, even after what was done to Iraq and Libya.
On the Iranian Press TV website, I found this interesting quote from a US regime official, Rep. Eliot Engel (NY), who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee:
“The world is a better place when the United States takes leadership; this is time for us to do this. I hope we’ll do it soon.”
What kind of a demented, deluded and sick creature do you have to be to say something like this? What kind of a La-La Land has this piece-of-shit congress-critter been living in for the past thirteen years?
The truth is that the world is a MUCH WORSE place because of US “leadership.” Look at Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. All these places today are hell-holes of violence and perpetual instability thanks to US involvement.
The US does not give a crap about the Libyan, Iraqi, and Syrian, Afghan or the Iranian people. It does not care about freedom or democracy or human rights.
The proof is on display every day in these countries mentioned above. These places have been shattered by the US and its buffoonish homicidal allies.
The US only cares about its own selfish economic and strategic interests and about keeping the despicable zionist mafia-state on top in the region.
This terrible US record of failures to bring any sense of stability to these countries through military interventions is not a mistake. These interventions are meant to break these countries down and keep them in a perpetual state of chaos and violence. This way the people living in these countries are forced to constantly worry about security and keeping themselves from getting killed every day and really nothing else.
By keeping these nations in a constant state of unrest, there is no time for their citizens and governments to normalize and progress forward and learn to be self-sufficient. It also keeps these countries dependent on US/western “protection” and “aid.”
This is what the US wants: to break the Arab countries by inciting sectarian violence and fake “uprisings” by its proxy forces so that these countries stay weak and divided and unable to pick themselves up, unite, and free themselves from foreign meddling, control and dependence.
The US will NOT bring Syria any freedom or democracy. It will bring them more of the same misery as it brought the Iraqis, Libyans and Afghans.
Bombing people to death in the name of human rights is the cruelest act of hypocrisy one can engage in. People who offer such rationalizations are depraved monsters, unworthy of any attention or respect or loyalty whatsoever. Mr. Kerry, Mr. Obama and their foreign poodles are just such monsters.
The war-criminal Obama and his handlers think that they are the masters of the world.
Only deranged psychopaths want to control the world and think that everyone must go along with them. In fact, obsession with control and obedience is a sign of psychopathy.
But Mr. Obummer and his handlers have serious psychological issues. They are a danger to the world, not Assad or any leader of Iran.
Obummer and his ilk should not control anyone or anything beyond the confines of their homes because clearly they damage whatever they touch, and seriously so.
The US government is the single biggest threat to world peace and stability. This is not mere opinion, as polls done throughout the world put the US and Israel in the top spots when it comes to who the biggest threat to peace is, while countries like Iran and North Korea are at the very bottom. Look it up.
But there is one observable fact that cannot be disputed: Every country the US tries to “help” ends up turning into shit.
Only a damn liar or a damn fool would think that the Syrian government is responsible for launching a chemical attack, which would pave the way for foreign intervention.
It shows how much contempt the US regime has for their own citizens and the entire world when it makes false and absurd accusations such as these.
No intelligent, fair-minded and conscientious person believes the false and dangerous accusations coming out of the US regime officials and their allies’ mouths about Syrian responsibility for a chemical attack that goes against Syria’s interests.
These chemical attacks were launched by the rebels, with US/western and possibly Zionist aid, and falsely blamed on the Syrian government-without proof, of course.
The incompetent western-sponsored militants have failed in their objectives and are suffering great losses at the hands of the Syrian military forces. Their backs are now against the wall and they smell defeat. All the weapons they have been given by the west and Arab sheikhdoms have achieved nothing. Therefore, they staged chemical attacks in collusion with the US, and other foreign governments, who want to overthrown the Syrian government.
Earlier today, US Secretary of State, John Kerry, called the Syrian government “depraved” and accused them of launching the chemical attack.
What is depraved is the US support for Al Qaeda-linked militants in Syria who bomb, murder, decapitate, eat organs of dead Syrian soldiers and destroy churches and mosques, while the US government issues “terror alerts” and claiming to fight Al Qaeda somewhere else.
What is depraved is the US and its allies launching this latest false-flag chemical attack and then falsely blaming it on the Syrian government which is fighting Al Qaeda-linked terror squads.
What is depraved is US/western support of terror against the Syrian population and claiming to be helping them.
What is depraved is the US allying itself with some of the most undemocratic, despotic and despicable regimes on earth, like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain in order to bring “democracy and freedom” to Syria.
What is depraved is the US threatening to send missiles and bombs over Syria which will end up killing civilians and then saying that it is saving lives.
What is depraved is how the rest of the world just stands by and allows itself to be lied into another atrocity by the evil US Empire and does nothing, even after what was done to Iraq and Libya.
On the Iranian Press TV website, I found this interesting quote from a US regime official, Rep. Eliot Engel (NY), who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee:
“The world is a better place when the United States takes leadership; this is time for us to do this. I hope we’ll do it soon.”
What kind of a demented, deluded and sick creature do you have to be to say something like this? What kind of a La-La Land has this piece-of-shit congress-critter been living in for the past thirteen years?
The truth is that the world is a MUCH WORSE place because of US “leadership.” Look at Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. All these places today are hell-holes of violence and perpetual instability thanks to US involvement.
The US does not give a crap about the Libyan, Iraqi, and Syrian, Afghan or the Iranian people. It does not care about freedom or democracy or human rights.
The proof is on display every day in these countries mentioned above. These places have been shattered by the US and its buffoonish homicidal allies.
The US only cares about its own selfish economic and strategic interests and about keeping the despicable zionist mafia-state on top in the region.
This terrible US record of failures to bring any sense of stability to these countries through military interventions is not a mistake. These interventions are meant to break these countries down and keep them in a perpetual state of chaos and violence. This way the people living in these countries are forced to constantly worry about security and keeping themselves from getting killed every day and really nothing else.
By keeping these nations in a constant state of unrest, there is no time for their citizens and governments to normalize and progress forward and learn to be self-sufficient. It also keeps these countries dependent on US/western “protection” and “aid.”
This is what the US wants: to break the Arab countries by inciting sectarian violence and fake “uprisings” by its proxy forces so that these countries stay weak and divided and unable to pick themselves up, unite, and free themselves from foreign meddling, control and dependence.
The US will NOT bring Syria any freedom or democracy. It will bring them more of the same misery as it brought the Iraqis, Libyans and Afghans.

Another Western War Crime
Recently, the western-sponsored militant terror squads launched a chemical attack upon a part of Damascus.
Right away, the US and western media and government propaganda assigned the blame on Syrian forces. There are calls from the UK FM and rabid war criminal William Hague as well as his French counterparts for immediate intervention.
Let’s remember that the rebels and their foreign benefactors have been whipping up fears of a Syrian government-ordered chemical attack for two years now. The militants also threatened to use chemical weapons in the field, before the first bombs ever went off.
Videos of rebels conducting experiments on animals with nerve gas have surfaced on the internet before the attacks started.
Also, in the spring of 2013, after the first cases of chemical attacks were reported, a UN investigation committee concluded that the gas was most likely launched by the militants fighting the government of Syria. Not surprisingly, the US, UK, France and their henchmen refused to acknowledge this fact and blamed the attacks on the Syrian government.
All the chemical attacks launched in Syria thus far, including the latest one, were committed by the militants, who immediately blamed the Syrian government of ordering the attack. Their aim, as with past chemical weapon attacks, is to cause international outrage which leads to foreign military intervention.
The Syrian government is clearly being setup, and these are the reasons why the Syrian government did not, and would not, use chemical weapons in the field.
1. By ordering the use of chemical weapons, the Syrian government would be shooting themselves in the foot. They know that using chemical weapons would serve as an excuse for armed intervention by the US and its accomplices, leading to regime change, exactly what the rebels and their western sponsors want.
2. The latest chemical attack comes right after UN investigators arrived in Syria, at the invitation of the Syrian government, to investigate the chemical attacks and who was behind them. If the Syrian government and military were to blame, they would certainly not invite anyone to investigate anything. The timing is very suspicious, and meant to embarrass and demonize the Syrian government.
3. The Syrian military has been making significant gains against the militants using conventional means, and using chemical weapons is unnecessary, strategically and technically.
4. Undoubtedly, the Syrians were put on-notice by Russia a while back about the use of chemical weapons and know that Russia will cut off all aid and support if Syria uses these weapons.
5. Iran, an ally of Syria, suffered under chemical attacks launched by Iraq in the Iraq-Iran war in the nineteen-eighties. Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons would be in very bad taste, and would most likely make the Iranians rethink any further support for Syria.
The western-sponsored terror squads in Syria have not been able to make a dent in their fight to remove Assad. They have been suffering setbacks and significant losses at the hands of the Syrian military.
In their desperation to stop further losses or a compete defeat, they decided to take the insane and criminal move to use chemical weapons on anyone, civilian or otherwise.
The latest chemical attack also came during heavy fighting between Syrian forces and the militants, who may have used the chaos to launch a chemical weapon since it would look like Syrian forces launched it.
Of course, the UN has called for investigations of the chemical attacks and access to all areas affected. Right on cue, the rebels refused to cooperate with the investigation while the Syrian government offered all assistance.
Now, from past and present evidence and actions, which side looks guiltier? Who stands to lose and who stands to win by launching chemical attacks? The Syrian government, who is defending the country and trying to preserve itself while making sure not to give any foreign thug an excuse for intervention, or the militants who want to see the current Syrian government overthrown with foreign help and are desperate enough to try any tactic to do so?
This chemical attack was either committed by the rebels who were trained by western personnel on how to handle chemical weapons, and indeed there has been such training according to news reports. Or this attack may have been staged by CIA/Mossad or some other western spook agency.
Hopefully the UN investigations will not degenerate into clandestine operations infested with CIA and western intelligence agents who will seek to use the inspections process for subterfuge and planting fake evidence, just like in Iraq.
If, and when, the UN starts asking for access to Syrian military bases and sensitive government buildings, we will know the name of the game.
Russia needs to keep an eye on all this and ensure that the UN inspectors do their job and not go on errands for US and western governments which end in another illegal war of aggression.
There is hope that after the Iraq and Libya debacles, this will not be allowed to happen.
See this.

Shooting the Messengers
It’s over. It’s done. That’s it. The party is over.
If anyone had any doubt whatsoever that the US regime and its paranoid and schizophrenic state security apparatus have lost their minds, this should no longer be a question after the utterly disgusting way in which they have dealt with Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden.
These two brave men blew the lid off the secret and vicious world of US government deceitfulness and criminality.
From exposing US military atrocities in Iraq, diplomatic backstabbing and secret but illegal eavesdropping by the NSA on millions of people inside and outside the US, these two individuals have exposed the the ugly reality of US behavior which was hidden underneath a carefully-crafted mask of benevolence.
What Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden gave us is the most rank hypocrisy and deceit ever exposed. From covered up war crimes committed by the US in Iraq, to embarrassing and mean-spirited and two-faced diplomatic intrigues to mass-surveillance of peoples’ digital lives. It also exposed a shameless and bat-shit crazy US government so devious and arrogant that they even spied on foreign heads of state during international conferences.
These three individuals have done more damage to US credibility than all the Al Qaedas and terrorists out there could never do. And the punch line is that they did nothing more than tell the truth.
That’s the bottom line about all these revelations: They are the plain albeit ugly truth about how comical and farcical the US regime and its policies have become.
While America’s vassal state governments in the EU have been whining about the fact that they have been spied on by the NSA, they brought all this upon themselves by getting too cozy with US intelligence and military apparatus over the decades. Any such cooperation should have been nixed after 1991 and Europe should have never looked back.
And these dumbasses are allowing the NSA to build huge monitoring centers right on European soil! Are these EU governments bi-polar or something? They are only inviting even more abuses.
Of course, the US government spin machine, together with the pathetic mass-media in this country, have gone into full-on and relentless damage control. They have tried to desperately justify these eavesdropping programs by insisting that they stopped some terrorist attacks (without providing evidence, of course, because its secret) and have also tried to deflect attention from the obvious US government wrong-doing by demonizing and slandering Edward Snowden and by calling him a traitor and a thief. They have also issued threats against any country which tries to give him refuge.
Now let’s reverse the situation.
If a Russian intelligence analyst fled to Canada seeking asylum, with laptops full of classified Russian intelligence, Canada would grant it to him immediately and the US, as well as all the US vassal states in the EU, would do so as well.
None of these countries would have any second thoughts or be worried about "ruining relations with Russia" by giving him asylum and protection regardless of what Russia says. Plus, the US would demonize Russia incessantly day and night for trying to demand the return of the leaker and for doing anything to block him from traveling. For doing so, Russia would be constantly slandered by the US government and the worthless US media as an undemocratic country which still behaves like a Stalinist dictatorship.
There would be no end to it. Pathetic cretins like Senator “Insane” McCain, LOUSY Graham as well as pro-US/Israel talking shitheads like Alan Dershowitz, Charles Krauthammer and other neo-con subhuman filth would go into spastic orgasms trying to vilify anything Russian.
If Russia dared to threaten any country with sanctions or violence for sheltering a Russian dissident, it would be pilloried and embarrassed at the UN and internationally isolated.
Such is the hypocrisy that rules the day in the good ole’ US of A.
Russia has recently granted Ed Snowden temporary 1-year asylum. This decision has got the US regime fuming. From the start they have embarrassed themselves and served as their own worst enemies by engaging in public temper-tantrums and foot-stomping whining worthy of a petulant and spoiled child who did not get that second scoop of ice cream at the state fair.
Ever since, US State Dept. and assorted congress clowns have been wagging their fingers at Russia and threatening it with “consequences” and some possible sanctions. They also attempted to have US Attorney General Eric Holder try to play the proverbial good cop by writing a letter to the Russian government promising not to torture Edward Snowden if Russia extradites him and that he will get a fair trial.
Yeah. They won’t torture him.
Just like they didn’t hold Bradley Manning in solitary confinement for two years under degrading conditions and try to force him to falsely implicate Julian Assange and make him into some sort of Al Qaeda’s PR guy (unlike those US government officials who as I write this propagandize and support Al Qaeda-linked rebels with money, training and weapons in Syria); and just like they did not keep Jose Padilla in solitary confinement and under psychological torment for years, and just like they did not set Assange up with false rape charges to force him out so he can be extradited, for committing no crime against the US!
I think that the main reason for the anti-Russian whining coming out of US government officials mouths is that it is bad PR for the US that Edward Snowden chose Russia as a refuge. Doing so makes Russia look good. It invalidates years of US propaganda that Russia is a country lacking democracy and human rights and ran by a dictatorial regime which does not care about international law.
But the US has unwittingly applied those anti-Russian stereotypes to itself by its abhorrent behavior towards Edward Snowden and other whistleblowers.
If there is only one lesson to be learned from all these intelligence leaks, it is that American promises are worth their weight in used toilet paper.
But at least Mr. US Attorney General admitted that the US tortures people, or else he would have not made this promise regarding Edward Snowden.
Russia did the right and honorable thing by sheltering Snowden and Russian officials from President Putin on down need to stop with ridiculous self-doubt and self-recrimination. It is a waste of time and only clouds good sense and judgment they have. It is the US that deserves to feel embarrassed.
And this brings us to the most important point of all.
The bad guy in this entire Edward Snowden affair is not Edward Snowden. The bad guy is the US government.
The US government illegally eavesdropped, and continues to eaves drop, on electronic and voice communications of millions of people worldwide, including the US.
Edward Snowden did not decide on his own volition to use his abilities to “hack” peoples’ computers and phones and then took that information. The US government ordered him, and many others like him, to do this.
Edward Snowden exposed government wrong-doing; he did not initiate it.
So therefore, it is the US government that is the guilty culprit, and it must be the target of people’ ire and condemnation, not the messenger who told the world the truth and exposed a horrible wrong.
Anyone who tries to defend this blatantly illegal US government eavesdropping, and criticizes the whistleblowers who bring this illegality into public light, is a fascist whore with less than zero percent credibility. They are nut cases who should be kept from any and all positions of authority anywhere.
People who punish and torment whistleblowers in the US, from Obama on down, are shaming themselves and every person who lives here. They are also shaming and contradicting the constitution they swore to uphold, but which they violate by engaging in this mass-surveillance.
The amount of vitriol, hatred and primeval thirst for revenge Obama and other officials of the current US regime have shown for whistleblowers and truth-tellers like Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden would make the most hardened Stalinist cringe.
It’s one thing to torment truth-tellers in your own land, but when a country becomes so arrogant and spiteful that it demands and threatens other nations for refusing to hand over someone in their custody, orders them to ground planes of foreign heads of state based on mere suspicion that the plane may be carrying a dissident, forcing people to be holed up in embassies indefinitely for fear of being arrested and tapping the phones and computers of millions of people, that is just a sign of unaddressed major psychological problems, deep insecurities and overwhelming but hidden guilt.
The US government has gotten so used to breaking the law during the last thirteen plus years that it now automatically expects other countries to disregard their laws to accommodate US demands, no matter how disgusting and illegal these demands are.
To the US, the only law that exists and matters is that others must do what the US wants. Those foreign governments who do not are breaking the law in the eyes of the imperial US government.
Whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning and Julian Assange are heroes. They have sacrificed their freedoms so everyone knows the facts. For this they deserve the gratitude of every decent and civilized person on this earth. These three individuals are also political prisoners of the west.
But I have a feeling that more interesting things will come to light in the coming years about US criminal behavior as more whistleblowers will be inspired to come forward, as the US state collapses under the full weight of its hypocrisy and contradictions and economic, political, military and diplomatic failures.
This Snowden affair has left the US regime with a whole carton’s worth of eggs on their face.
The only weapons of diplomacy the US now has left in its arsenal are bribery, threats of violence and violence.
It is now going to be harder for the US to get anything from other nations because the credibility of the US, and the trust in it, has been shattered. This may force the US ruling establishment to back off, if just a bit.
Even the worst tyrant is not invincible.
If anyone had any doubt whatsoever that the US regime and its paranoid and schizophrenic state security apparatus have lost their minds, this should no longer be a question after the utterly disgusting way in which they have dealt with Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden.

The Degenerate Republic
The recent weeks have shown the depravity of the US unseen thus far.
From NSA wiretapping and total disregard for its own laws, to the supporting of terrorist groups in Syria (who recently beheaded a Christian priest in public) with weapons and training, the true ugly nature of the US is coming into the foreground.
The bizarre contradictions are so revealing that it begs the question why would any sane government out there still dare to follow the US and its criminal policies?
Don’t other countries see the embarrassment and the liabilities that come with being a lackey of the US?
Are these weak-willed countries looking for a hand-out? Or are they just scared that if they do not cooperate with the evil US empire that they will get the Iran and North Korea treatment? Or have they become IMF and World Bank debt slaves and have to keep their mouths shut or else their debts will be called in, resulting in economic strangulation?
The way I see it, there are three types of countries in the world today: the US, countries that kiss the ass of the US, and countries that are being severely punished for not kissing the ass of the US.
Russia and China seem to be the only ones powerful enough not kissing America’s ass and getting away with it. But these are the only two exceptions.
The US government has been throwing juvenile temper tantrums for some years now because their 1st place in line globally is being challenged.
Now how dare any other country supersede the US economically, militarily or strategically on the world stage?
After all, the US has invested decades and trillions of dollars and the greasiest and disgusting tactics to keep itself on top in every way.
It has killed and maimed millions, carpet-bombed entire countries, committed countless war crimes and crimes against humanity, and developed arms-twisting techniques that would make the most psychopathic mafia boss squirm in order to keep anyone weak and stupid enough in line.
All that work is now supposed to go down the drain for some other country to chime in line in front of Uncle Sam? Oh the horror of it!
The recent NSA leak fallout has once and for all ripped off the mask of fake benevolence, eternal goodness and the myth of “American Exceptionalism” from the evil, twisted and slimy face of the true America.
The US is a broken, degenerate country.
Its so-called principles of democracy, freedom, self-determination and adherence to the rule of law now ring hollow, in a hollowed-out failed experiment in republican government.
The ruling US establishments, past and present have sold themselves out for personal material enrichment.
They have allied with, and subordinated themselves to, the creepiest creatures from the feces-ridden underbelly of the corporate/banking cartels and their crap-filled stable of moneyed benefactors.
The entire government has basically prostituted itself out to the billionaire pimps of the banking and war industries. They no longer hold domestic law sacred, let alone international law.
The US regime does not care about laws, unless it sees a material and strategic benefit for itself in doing so.
It points fingers at other countries for not “following the law” but hypocritically ignores its own transgressions.
When someone else points back, the US regime starts regurgitating its number-one excuse in its arsenal: the War on Terror.
This is used as the one-shot way to kill off all dissent and criticism of US policies and actions, no matter how cruel and inhuman they are.
That the “War on Terror” is just a cover for US economic, strategic and military domination of the world, and that it has done more damage than any terrorist group could ever do, is lost on the US public.
Most people will say that the US is an immoral country because of the evil it does in the world. But I would say that the US is amoral.
An immoral country goes along doing evil and does not point fingers at others who do the same thing.
But the US goes along, itself doing great harm while condemning others when they do the same.
The US does not care about whether its actions are good or not.
The US regime is not concerned about what is morally right or wrong. It has exorcised such considerations from its policy formulations, politics, decisions and actions a long time ago.
The US only cares about its status as the wealthiest and most militarily powerful state on earth. Whatever it takes to maintain this status is allowed in the eyes of US government officials.
If hundreds of thousands of people have to be killed to achieve this (i.e.-Syria), so be it.
If an entire country has to be bombed wholesale, like Afghanistan and Iraq, fine.
If foreign leaders and nationals have to be overthrown, assassinated or smeared with the most virulent lies and propaganda, it will be done.
If the entire US and other nations populations have to be snared into an illegal clandestine electronic spying operation to steal information that may be valuable to US businesses and to further the US security state’s continued paranoid crusade against any dissenters and critics, it will be done.
If a foreign economy, or the economy of the world has to be crashed and ruined in order to keep others down and the US on top, so be it.
Nothing is off-limits. Nothing is sacred anymore, except the US ruling establishment’s need to stay on top by hook, crook or mass-murder.
There is no attempt at self-criticism in the US government, media and populace.
They are scared to death of it because if the US truly dared to confront its true self, the fake and illusory mental image of itself as the good and indispensable and well-meaning nation would immediately crumble into dust.
Such an attempt at introspection would undoubtedly result in mass-hysteria and a collapse of the nation.
This is why fictitious enemies and scapegoats must be found in order to justify the inhuman and uncivilized policies and actions of the US.
The US always finds someone else to blame. First it was the Indians, then the Mexicans, then the Spaniards, Germans, Russians, and now Arabs and Muslims.
It’s always someone else’s fault.
If the US firebombs a village in Iraq, it’s the fault of the Iraqis; not the invaders who traveled thousands of miles to initiate an illegal invasion of the country.
The same ugly self-denial is on full display against Edward Snowden, the NSA leaker.
From the very beginning of this whole affair the US government’s and the media’s focus has been on how Edward Snowden “violated” US laws, is a traitor, aided the enemy and other slanders and demonizations uttered against him by the US media and think tank whores in order to discredit him, and divert the US public's attention from how badly their own government has f***ed them.
What the media should be talking about are the revelations themselves.
Here we have the US government exposed as illegally eavesdropping on the electronic communications of millions of people worldwide!
Instead of focusing on this ultimate betrayal of people and its supposed allies by the US government, these cretins are condemning Edwards Snowden, Julian Assange and Bradley Manning?
This is absolutely disgraceful and craven behavior by the media. They have decided to shoot the messenger instead of focusing on the message.
This just goes to show that the media in any country will instinctively toe the government’s party line, regardless of whether this line is right or wrong.
Blaming Edward Snowden, or any other individual who exposes US criminality is like rear-ending another car on the road and blaming that car for being on the road.
The US now is in full dementia mode. On the one hand they are demanding Russia hand over Snowden to them immediately or face “consequences.” The US is also by impulse daring to smear Russia by smugly suggesting that if Snowden is so concerned about truth and transparency and freedom, Russia is the wrong country to be in.
The US government’s attitude about Snowden is hypocritical as well.
Back during the cold war days, the US jumped with joy every time some Soviet dissident military official, diplomat, or KGB agent defected to the west and spilled the beans on the atrocious inner workings of the Soviet Union.
And when such defectors made it to the west and the Soviet authorities demanded that they be handed over, the western governments just laughed in the Soviet Union's face.
And do not forget that Putin, as well as many other current top Russian government officials were around 30-40 years ago and remember each and every instance when a Soviet defector was taken in and sheltered by the west, and how Russia was ignored regardless of how many times its government demanded their hand-over.
But now that the shoe is on the other foot, the US does not like it. The US is whining constantly about how Snowden’s revelations will result in death and try to justify the illegal eavesdropping by saying that it stopped some fifty terrorist plots. Of course, the US government refuses to provide any evidence for this.
Hasn’t it occurred to the US, looking back from the present perspective, that maybe the Soviets also had legitimate security interests? That they also had to do things which were unpleasant but necessary to keep their interests and nation safe?
This is the big secret to US successes over the years: UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.
Spying on its own people and allies without their knowledge is what gave the US the edge.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, it is doubtful that this edge can be maintained.
One thing has also become very evident when taking into consideration the despicable US actions since WW2.
Even though it has taken a long time to come to light, it is clear that throughout the cold war, and up to today, it is the US that has turned out to be the worse party, not Russia.
To the US, other countries are “bad” when they spy, eavesdrop on people and repress dissidents, and their reasons for doing so are always unacceptable to the US (unless they do so in cooperation with, or on the orders of, the US itself) Only the holy US is excused, because it is fighting a “war on terror" or trying to stop some imaginary Iranian nuclear weapons.
This arrogant behavior shows how behind the times the US is. It still thinks it is all-powerful and that everyone will just bow down to them on everything.
But those times are gone. No one is going to take America’s shit lying down anymore.
US propaganda is no longer that effective, and really has been weak to begin with. That propaganda only works when the audience is cowardly, naive and subordinate to the US for whatever reason. This propaganda got the US through the cold war and beyond but is losing its power.
When the audience is not naïve and has courage, US propaganda falls flat dead immediately. This could be seen on full display when Russian PM Putin dressed down British PM David Cameron at the 2013 G8 conference in N. Ireland by daring to disagree with, and criticizing him for his stance, on the Syria issue. Cameron did not have a come-back. He fell flat dead on the floor intellectually and diplomatically.
Simply put, the US has done too much bad in the world, and no amount of eloquent tirades, hypocritical excuses and morally-bankrupt justifications uttered by Obama or any other US politician, or US citizen, whether in Berlin or anywhere else, is going to fix the blood-stained American image.
The US wrongly thinks that the entire world is its personal playground and if it wishes to take something from anyone, it just does. This is why the US is so hated.
Compare this with the Chinese method. When they want something from another country, they send in men in suits to negotiate and make deals. No bullets are fired and no one gets killed.
When the US wants something from another country, it sends in men in uniforms with guns and takes what it wants by force.
This is why Chinese investment in Africa has surpassed America.
So what does the US do in the face of this Chinese uppity-ness?
It sets up AFRICOM, a military command dedicated to strong-arming African countries into giving it up for Uncle Scam, or else.
I swear, when you look up the word hopeless in the dictionary, it should have a picture of the US next to it!
Another disturbing phenomenon has been rearing its head in popular discourse, the rehabilitation of George W. Bush.
In conclusion, it must be said that the US currently is a failed state.
Its ruling cadre, from the president on down, is thoroughly corrupt.
The US government does not abide by any law. It betrays and lies to its own people and the world, it is two-faced, it steals and murders with disregard, and it bullies other nations for not putting US interests above their own.
It is a psychopathic nation which up to know has killed, maimed, bombed and made destitute more people than any other country throughout history.
The US is not the "shining city on the hill," but more like the dark and creepy castle on the hill covered with perpetual tufts of dark clouds and lightning, with a desolate landscape all around it.
The best thing would be for the US to isolate itself from the rest of the world so that the world can recover and heal from the craziness and degeneracy emanating from this continent.
And contrary to the self-professed, the deluded and 100% not true fantasy prevalent in inside the US, the US is NOT the indispensable nation. It does NOT need to be leading anyone or in charge of anything beyond its own troubled borders.
The world does not need US “leadership” because US leadership has failed in every way imaginable, and in fact has been detrimental to world peace, development and progress.
I also do not believe in the paranoid doomsday prediction that without the US leading the world everything will descend into chaos; as if US leadership has not been chaotic enough!
The world was here and progressed along for thousands of years without the US around.
The notion that the US, a country just over 230 years old, is the glue that holds the world together is sheer delusion and the height of arrogance and hubris.
To suggest so is also a slap in the face of every other country (most of which have been around for hundreds or thousands years more than the US) because it conveys the message that the rest of the world is incompetent and inferior.
The US can disappear tomorrow. At worst, there will be some short-lived chaos, but it will even itself out. Intelligent and pragmatic people will straighten things out quickly.
Some people may read this and say that if I hate America so much why don’t I just get the hell out and go to Russia or North Korea.
My answer is: No, I will not get the hell out.
I will stay here and keep on writing, criticizing and speaking out against the stupidity and evil done by this inept US state establishment.
I do not hate America. I hate its government's rotten, hypocritical and criminal policies.
To hate America is too general an accusation. How can I hate Americans who agree with me? How can I hate those Americans who put their freedoms, lives and safety on the line to tell the world the truth? How can I hate those Americans who are my friends? How can I hate the nice places in America that I enjoy going to?
So you see, this "you hate America" line is an empty accusation, uttered by ignorant and intellectually-challenged cretins.
No one hates America. They hate the bad policies of the American government, and the people who enact them.
Some may even ask: Why are you not criticizing Russia, Iran and North Korea? Their governments are not all good either.
First, no country is entirely good. If anyone in this world thinks their country is all good and does the right thing 100% of the time, then they are deluding themselves.
Second, you criticize the country in which YOU live first and foremost, not some other one far away.
Being a responsible citizen means holding your own government to account in every way, first and foremost. Let the citizens of other nations worry about holding their governments and systems to account. Don’t interfere.
I know there are many Americans who share my views and who are decent and intelligent people who, if given the chance, could fix this dilapidated republic. It is still possible to do so.
But this cannot be done if the rest of the populace is in a materialistic smart-phone induced stupor and mesmerized by cheap reality shows like the Kardashians and the banal and shallow trash TV talk of Joan Rivers and all the other pop-culture false prophets and low-life freaks.
It cannot be done if most Americans stubbornly cling to the false, deluded and discredited view that America is the best and freest and most democratic country in the world; a country that has done no wrong and only means good.
It cannot be done as long as the current two-party circus prevails and 3rd party candidates are being deliberately treated as oddities by the mainstream media, kept away from public eye and barred from presidential debates by the two wings of the same business party.
It cannot be done as long as the government along with the media, academia and private interests deliberately limit the scope of issues which can be openly discussed and keep many other subjects outside of public consideration.
But one thing is certain: the present American infection cannot continue.

From NSA wiretapping and total disregard for its own laws, to the supporting of terrorist groups in Syria (who recently beheaded a Christian priest in public) with weapons and training, the true ugly nature of the US is coming into the foreground.
The bizarre contradictions are so revealing that it begs the question why would any sane government out there still dare to follow the US and its criminal policies?
Don’t other countries see the embarrassment and the liabilities that come with being a lackey of the US?
Are these weak-willed countries looking for a hand-out? Or are they just scared that if they do not cooperate with the evil US empire that they will get the Iran and North Korea treatment? Or have they become IMF and World Bank debt slaves and have to keep their mouths shut or else their debts will be called in, resulting in economic strangulation?

Another disturbing phenomenon has been rearing its head in popular discourse, the rehabilitation of George W. Bush.
I’m hearing more talk from unrepentant bumpkin right-wingers
about how they “wish Bush was back” and are posting pictures on the internet
with Dubya with quotations like, “Miss me yet?”
The twisted rationale of these nutcases seems to be that just
because Obama is a worse criminal who has made the mess in this country even
bigger, that somehow the filthy war-criminal Dubya is off the hook.
It must be made clear to everyone, that any attempt to clean
up Dubya’s blood-stained legacy of lies, gross incompetence, murder, war
crimes, horrendous violations of human rights and every law of civilized
behavior in existence, is tantamount to defending Adolf Hitler, Stalin or Pol
Pot and whitewashing every single one of their crimes!
There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for Bush’s behavior, none whatsoever!
He paved the way for the further horrors of Obummer.
To me, these cretins are praising Bush because Obummer has outdone
him on the level of depravity.
But let’s remember that there were many people, including
republicans, who during the darkest days of Dubya’s misrule also pined for the “good
ole days” of Bill Clinton, himself a liar par-excellance and a filthy war-mongering scumbag.
The point is that it’s not that the last president was
better, but that the next one is always worse. Hasn’t this fact been made
crystal clear enough already?
After each presidential election, the behavior of these
presidents becomes worse and worse.
But they are all low-life lying criminals who,
in a normal and truly just world where law and order and decency rules, should
all be currently languishing in the Hague in solitary confinement.
The only difference between them is the degree of evil they
engage in, and any attempt to rehabilitate their blood-soaked legacy is itself
a crime against humanity.
In conclusion, it must be said that the US currently is a failed state.
Its ruling cadre, from the president on down, is thoroughly corrupt.
The US government does not abide by any law. It betrays and lies to its own people and the world, it is two-faced, it steals and murders with disregard, and it bullies other nations for not putting US interests above their own.
