Kümmern Sie sich nicht um die Propaganda, die Welt sollte über Amerikas zahllose Kriege Bescheid wissen
| Von Chaitanya Davé Global Research, 13. Januar 2025 m Laufe der Geschichte haben US-Regierungen unter der Führung ihrer Präsidenten unter dem Vorwand eines fiktiven Grundes mit schwächeren Ländern auf der ganzen Welt Kriege geführt. Die wahren Gründe waren ihre unersättliche Gier und ihr Appetit auf die Ländereien und Ressourcen anderer Länder. Sie haben keine dauerhaften Freunde; sie haben nur dauerhafte Interessen. |
December 29, 2024
| Former President Jimmy Carter died today, December 29, 2024, at age 100 after a life characterized by a dedication to human rights. His wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter, died on November 19, 2023; she was 96 years old. James Earl Carter Jr. was born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, in southwestern Georgia, about half an hour from the site of the infamous Andersonville Prison, where United States soldiers died of disease and hunger during the Civil War only sixty years earlier. He was the first U.S. president to be born in a hospital. |
THE SCENE OF THE CRIME
A journey to Vietnam
| This, sadly, is yet another holiday season marked by war and death throughout the Middle East, Ukraine, and especially in Gaza. And so I thought, in keeping with the glum spirit of our time, I would fill in the off week with an old, but relevant, piece, originally published in the New Yorker in 2015, about the horrid My Lai massacre that I initially disclosed as a lowly Washington freelance journalist in the fall of 1969. I had traveled to Vietnam a decade after the war ended but could not bear the thought of going to My Lai and seeing the ditch full of innocents who, as I reported, had been executed by members of an American infantry company. I would later learn—I wrote two books about the massacre—that there were some at the top of the Army’s chain of command who realized early on that those slain in the ditch were prisoners of war and, as such, under the Geneva Conventions, were entitled to protection, housing, food, and the right to send and receive mail. All had stayed quiet until I stumbled onto the story. I was ambivalent about going to see the ditch—how many tears can one shed?—but David Remnick, the editor of the New Yorker, thought it would be important to remind readers about what had happened on that day, March 16, 1968. Turned out that the past was very present at My Lai. Read all |
“7 Countries in 5 Years” – Regime Change in Iran Coming Soon?
| Gavin OReilly, December 17, 2024 In the early hours of last Sunday morning, a seismic geopolitical shift occurred when the 24-year Presidency of Syria by Bashar al-Assad came to an end in dramatic fashion. Beginning just 11 days previously, an offensive led by the Western-backed Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group resulted in the capture of vast swathes of government-controlled territory, including, perhaps most notably, the key city of Aleppo. One of the first major cities to be captured by opposition groups amidst the outset of the conflict, Aleppo would be liberated in December 2016 in an offensive by the Syrian Arab Army, with Russian air strikes playing a key role in support. Thus, for the city to once again fall into the hands of insurgents was a foreboding sign. As the militants subsequently began to close in on the capital Damascus, it soon became apparent that Assad’s fate was sealed. Leaving the country alongside his family on a chartered flight shortly afterwards, the former Syrian President would be granted asylum in Moscow, bringing to an end a 13-year coordinated attempt by various powers to topple his government. In March 2011, following Assad’s refusal two years prior to allow US-ally Qatar to build a pipeline through his country, citing his relationship with Russia as a factor, a plan was put into action to remove the Syrian President from power. Amidst the wider Arab Spring protests taking place at the time, the CIA and MI6 began a covert operation to arm and train Salafist militants opposed to Assad’s secular rule. Joining Washington and London in this endeavour would be Saudi Arabia and Qatar, who would have been the starting points for the proposed pipeline, Turkey, who would have been its entry point to Europe, and Israel, owing to Syria’s membership of the Axis of Resistance and its key role as a conduit between Iran and Hezbollah. |
Global Warfare: “We’re Going to Take out 7 Countries in 5 Years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan & Iran..”
| By General Wesley Clark Global Research, December 14, 2024 Democracy Now 2 March 2007 Originally published in March 2007. Global Research Editor’s Note: This interview serves as a reminder regarding the diabolical timeline of America’s hegemonic project. Is Iran the next target “to be taken out”? All these countries including Lebanon and Iran are on the Pentagon’s drawing board. These seven countries have directly or indirectly been the object of US aggression. America’s hegemonic military agenda has reached a dangerous threshold: The assassination of IRG General Soleimani ordered by Donald Trump in early January was tantamount to an Act of War against Iran. The Beirut explosion of August 4th. Is this tragic event part of a Middle East War Timeline? Washington’s stated objective (according to General Wesley Clark) is to take Lebanon and Iran, with the support of Israel. And Israel’s diabolical objective is “To Take Out” Palestine, with the support of the US, as part of “The Greater Israel Project”. |
