Not Funny, But it’s Still Hard Not to Laugh

by DAVE LINDORFF

Panamanian killed during US invasion in 1989. For the US to talk about the rule of law is simply laughable.

If you want to make moral or legal pronouncements, or to condemn bad behavior, you have to be a moral, law-abiding person yourself. It is laughable when we see someone like Rush Limbaugh criticizing drug addicts or a corrupt politician like former Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) voting for more prisons, more cops, and tougher rules against appeals of sentences.

The same thing applies to nations.

And when it comes to hypocritical nations that make pious criticisms of other countries about the “rule of law” and the sanctity of “international law,” it’s hard to find a better laughing stock than the United States of America.

No need to listen to the politicians or corporate presstitutes. Here’s the straight history and essential facts about the Ukraine crisis, from Paul Craig Roberts.

Russian naval infantry soldiers (marines) guard the Orsk Russian landing ship anchored in the Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Sevastopol on March 2, 2014. In 2010, after years of tortuous negotiations, Ukraine agreed to extend Moscow’s lease on Sevastopol port until 2042 in exchange for a 30-percent reduction in the price of Russian gas on which Ukraine depends for much of its energy needs.

In some quarters public awareness is catching up with Stephen Lendman, Michel Chossudovsky, Rick Rozoff, myself and a few others in realizing the grave danger in the crisis that Washington has created in Ukraine. Continue reading »

Federal safety regulators received more than 260 complaints over the last 11 years about General Motors vehicles that suddenly turned off while being driven, but they declined to investigate the problem, which G.M. now says is linked to 13 deaths and requires the recall of more than 1.6 million cars worldwide.

“The Western media, like Western governments, is devoid of integrity. Liars and whores rule…”

putin-Medeyev

The White House Fool has repeatedly declared erroneously and foolishly that it is “against international law” for Crimea to exercise self-determination. Self-determination, as used by Washington, is a propaganda term that serves Washington’s empire but is not permissible for real people to exercise. On March 6 Obama telephoned Putin to tell the Russian President again that only Washington has the right to interfere in Ukraine and to insist against all logic that only the “government” in Kiev installed by the Washington-organized coup is “legitimate” and “democratic.” Continue reading »

The U.S. is in a frenzy of regime-changing aggression, aimed at destabilizing or destroying sovereign states. Obama’s signature is written in blood around the world, as he pursues “full spectrum, no-holds-barred, war-without-boundaries against all potential resistance to U.S. imperial rule, anywhere on the planet.”

“National sovereignty has been replaced, in the Age of Obama, by an arbitrary “humanitarian” interventionist imperative that can only be exercised by the most powerful.” Continue reading »

Barack Obama and John Kerry once again find themselves in an embarrassing place over their ill-advised rhetoric. Only a few months after the Syria “red line” fiasco now the dynamic duo are being schooled by veteran politician Vladimir Putin. The neocon U.S. foreign policy establishment may be able to push Iran around with threats of sanctions but Russia is not Iran and there is more to Ukraine than meets the eye.
