Terror In Iraq: Roots And Motivation By Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich
Terrorism*, directly or sponsored, has long been America’s weapon of mass destruction – its weapon of choice. As a strategy, it outdates ‘human rights’ and ‘democracy promotion’ and has proven itself to be far more effective by creating mayhem and fear, removing resistance to intervention. The events of 9/11 justified this age-old tactic. Although the… Continue reading

The Truth of Libya (Finally) Goes Mainstream By Eric Draitser
More than three years after the US and its NATO allies unleashed an “intervention” and regime change in Libya, the US establishment admits they maybe have “got it wrong.” Naturally, there were many of us who were demonized endlessly for speaking out against that war, and against all those politicians, analysts, and “activists” on the… Continue reading

Washington escalates intervention in region-wide Middle East war By Bill Van Auken
With nearly 600 Green Beret “advisors” and other US troops in or set to be sent to Iraq over the coming days, the Pentagon announced Friday that it is negotiating rules of engagement that the regime in Baghdad rejected two-and-a-half years ago, before the final pullout of the American military.

The Redrawing of the Map of the Middle East Begins with the Destruction of Iraq By Larry Chin
The mainstream corporate media portrays it as a “terrorist insurgency”of Sunni “extremists” that has, seemingly overnight, overtaken the country. The Obama administration is depicted as having been “caught off guard”. If Iraq is lost, according to these narratives, then all of America’s “gains” will be “squandered”. Continue reading

How NATO organized invasion of Iraq
In the Iraqi culture, it is not unlikely that a Ba’athist leader (i.e. secular) should decide to avenge himself by objectively supporting a sectarian religious group. The problem is that al-Duri was reported to have died of leukemia in 2005, and no photograph of him has surfaced ever since. He would now be 72 years… Continue reading

Libya Coming Full Circle. When A Deemed “Conspiracy Theory” Becomes Reality By Sam Muhho
In the duration of the “revolutionary frenzy” that categorized western media coverage of the Libyan Civil War in 2011, public audiences were captivated with both tales of rebels aspiring for “democracy” and with complimenting stories of unabated brutality by Gaddafi forces. Without any serious mainstream criticism, an imperialist mythology centered on the interventionist doctrine of… Continue reading

The West Marches East By Andrew Gavin Marshall
After nearly a quarter-century of Western expansion – militarily, politically, economically – to Russia’s borders, Russia has had enough. But Ukraine was not the first instance in which Russia has been provoked by the West into a response that the West subsequently declared as an act of imperial “aggression.” In 2008, the small Caucasus nation… Continue reading

Provoking World War III By Andre Vltchek
It appears that those who are ruling the Empire are not obsessed with prudence. They seem to be tired of tiny conflicts, which they are continuously stirring all over the globe. Libya is not enough and Congo is not enough. They need something big, really big; even much bigger than what they had already ‘achieved’… Continue reading

Political Destabilization in Venezuela and the Western Media’s Double Standard By Salim Lamrani
Since 1998, the Venezuelan opposition has consistently rejected the results of the country’s democratic elections. There is a single exception: it recognized the legitimacy of its own victory in the constitutional referendum of December 2, 2007, something it won by less than a one percent margin. The right has been strongly opposed to the legitimately… Continue reading

Elections in Ukraine and Syria, Let the Mass Murder Continue By Tony Cartalucci
Early polls began for Syria’s presidential election, as the country begins turning the tide against foreign-backed terrorists and restoring order throughout much of the country.

U.S. Intelligence Terrorizes Venezuela By Nil Nikandrov
After the victory of Hugo Chavez’ successor Nicolas Maduro in the 2013 presidential election, the CIA tried to use a modernized version of the Chilean scenario to overthrow him.

Despite round table talks, Ukrainian regime escalates crackdown By Johannes Stern
As the cable makes clear, the US and its European allies, including Germany, knew that the installation of a pro-European and pro-NATO government in Kiev would provoke opposition both inside Ukraine and from Russia. This response—which has taken the form of a separatist rebellion in the east, and the incorporation of Crimea into the Russian… Continue reading

In the service of imperialism: Right-wing “intellectuals” gather in Kiev By David North
A group of right-wing academics, journalists, pro-war human-rights activists, and specialists in “discourse” are gathering in Kiev this coming weekend (May 16–19). The purpose of the meeting—headed by Professor Timothy Snyder of Yale University and Leon Wieseltier, the neo-con literary editor of the New Republic—is to bestow political and moral respectability on the Ukrainian regime… Continue reading

Because of American intervention, Ukraine is embroiled in what can only be described as a civil war.

Break the silence: a world war is beckoning By John Pilger
Every year the American historian William Blum publishes his “updated summary of the record of US foreign policy” which shows that, since 1945, the US has tried to overthrow more than 50 governments, many democratically elected; grossly interfered in elections in 30 countries; bombed the civilian populations of 30 countries; used chemical and biological weapons;… Continue reading

Ukraine: The waiting game By Pepe Escobar
The referendums may have been a last-minute affair; organized in a rush; in the middle of a de facto civil war; and on top of it at gunpoint – supplied by the Kiev NATO neo-liberal neo-fascist junta, which even managed to kill some voters in Mariupol. An imperfect process? Yes. But absolutely perfect in terms… Continue reading
