Russia Catches CIA Spy Red-Handed ABOMINATIONS, AMERICAN STUDIES, CORPORATE CRIMINALITY, CORPORATE OWNED PARTIES, IDIOTIZED PUBLICS, IMPERIALISM, INDECENT SLIMEBALLS, THE PENTAGON-MEDIA COMPLEX, US Foreign Policy, WAR CRIMES & CRIMINALS Comments Off May 192013 by Stephen Lendman America never permitted the bipolar rivalry to die down, and now given its taste for world domination it is wantonly creating new flashpoints for lethal confrontation. The upshot may be another arms race and a world that much closer to WW3. Chris Fogle, CIA operative, up to now good, as usual. It’s ludicrous to deny that the CIA has long been an imperial tool for the global plutocracy. CIA agents operate most everywhere. They don’t promote friendly relations. They’re up to no good. Some pose as diplomats. Diplomacy provides cover for why they’re sent. Christopher Fogle was caught red-handed. He was assigned to Washington’s Moscow embassy political section. He was third secretary. A web site name search found no match. It’s no surprise why. He was arrested, declared persona non grata, and expelled. He got off easy. He committed espionage. He should have been imprisoned. On May 14, Voice of Russia (VOR) headlined “FSB catches CIA Agent Controller red handed,” saying: Continue reading » Did you like this? Share it:

It stretched from the Caspian to the Baltic Sea, from the middle of Europe to the Kurile Islands in the Pacific, from Siberia to Central Asia. Its nuclear arsenal held 45,000 warheads [4], and its military had five million [5] troops under arms. There had been nothing like it in Eurasia since the Mongols conquered China, took parts of Central Asia and the Iranian plateau, and rode into the Middle East, looting Baghdad. Yet when the Soviet Union collapsed in December 1991, by far the poorer, weaker imperial power disappeared. Continue reading » Did you like this? Share it:

When I began to weep for it I found it everywhere. - Claudia Lars (El Salvador) Those of us who have struggled for peace and justice over the past decades don’t have much to celebrate these days. But the news from Guatemala that a female judge — Yasmin Barrios — was able to successfully manage a trial in that benighted nation and convict former President Efrain Rios Montt of genocide is something to rejoice about. It suggests it’s no longer business as usual in Latin America — especially vis-à-vis the United States. Continue reading » Did you like this? Share it:

Most US citizens these days don’t consider Viet Nam at all. Of those who do, many believe that all is well. And in some ways it is. Viet Nam has normal diplomatic relations with the US, belongs to the World Trade Organization, accepts investment by US based multi-national corporations and is allied with US foreign policy on some geopolitical issues including concerns over China’s intentions regarding “disputed” territory in the South China Sea.

The Terrorist “Radicalization” of the Tsarnaev Brothers AMERICAN STUDIES, ANTI-CORPORATISM, ANTI-NEOLIBERALISM, ANTIWAR, CORPORATE CRIMINALITY, CORPORATE OWNED PARTIES, PUTRID CORPOMEDIA, US Foreign Policy, WAR CRIMES & CRIMINALS 20 Responses » May 102013 The wages of lies and rancid chauvinism— “An Eye for an Eye” by GARY LEUPP The Bible is packed with Gods commanding the Israelites to go out and murder entire populations, animals included. And the semitic religions are not alone in this kind of Deity-sanctified bloodlust.. Where, how, when, why and by whom were the Tsarnaev brothers “radicalized”? These are the questions mainstream journalism poses and strives to answer. But one antonym of “radical”—“superficial”—describes this line of approach. Continue reading » Did you like this? Share it:

Prefatory Note: This is a valuable piece in the manner in which most valuable pieces written by liberals (in this case a “left liberal”) clarify almost as much as they confuse. What Falk and Davidson are saying is that an honest review of US foreign policy methods and objectives is long overdue. Who can disagree with that among relatively educated well meaning people? The problem starts with the context in which answers are sought. • Davidson asks, [w]ill continued unqualified U.S. support of Israeli oppression of Palestinians increase or decrease future violent anti-American episodes at home or abroad? Yet, this critical aspect of any response to terrorism has apparently never been performed. As regards the administration of George W. Bush, this comes as no surprise. Bush and his neoconservative supporters were (and still are) ideologically driven and so are incapable of the objectivity necessary for such a self-critical review. That is why Bush came up with a range of cockamamy reasons, including the famous “they hate our values,” for the 9/11 attacks. President Obama, on the other hand, seemed, at least at first, capable of corrective insight. Continue reading » Pages: 1 2 Did you like this? Share it:

Hillary Clinton typically and memorably joked about his killing. Global Research, April 29, 2013 Monthly Review | Region: Middle East & North Africa Theme: Media Disinformation, US NATO War Agenda In-depth Report: NATO’S WAR ON LIBYA Perhaps no war in recent memory has so thoroughly flummoxed the Euro-Atlantic left as the recent NATO war on Libya. Presaging what would occur as U.S. proxies carried out an assault on Syria, both a pro-war left and an anti-anti-war left started filling up socialist e-zines and broadsheets with endless explanations and tortuous justifications for why a small invasion, perhaps just a “no-fly-zone,” would be okay—so long as it didn’t grow into a larger intervention. They cracked open the door to imperialism, with the understanding that it would be watched very carefully so as to make sure that no more of it would be allowed in than was necessary to carry out its mission.

The Boston Marathon bombings last week, which killed three and wounded over 170, were seized on to implement a far-reaching attack on democratic rights, including a police lockdown of an entire city. As with previous incidents, much remains unknown, including the motive of those who allegedly carried it out, whether others were involved and what connection the FBI and other government agencies had to them.
