US Embassy Baptized With Blood Under Trump, Washington is now blatantly complicit in the illegal annexation of Palestinian territory by Israel. The role of the US in sponsoring Israeli violations was always present, albeit deceptively disguised with claims of being a mediator and "honest broker" between Palestinians and Israelis.

The Antisemitic Card It is a ludicrous situation when anyone criticizing Israeli state violations against Palestinians or neighboring countries is then instantly discredited as being "antisemitic."

US Desperately Pumps "Humanitarian" Smokescreen for Failing Syria Ceasefire Russia has correctly criticized the US as using a verbal smokescreen to conceal why the ceasefire is failing. The point is that Washington has negligible control over its declared moderate rebels. In fact, there is no control because in practice there is no distinction between the myriad illegally armed insurgents. The conflict is about regime change and deploying terrorist agents to achieve that.

2015 -- The year Russia exposed Western barbarism Russia's dramatic intervention in Syria has exposed what can only be described as a charade in which the US, European powers and their regional allies have been involved in trying to destroy a sovereign country through covertly supporting an array of illegally armed mercenary networks.

CIA Smoking Gun in Latest Putin Slur Newspapers and other news outlets tend to publish the same pejorative stories about Putin at the same time. That indicates a centrally manipulating source. Some of the news coverage can be put down to "lazy journalism" or herd mentality, where some outlets just regurgitate what they deem to be "in the news" carried by others.

Who's Next for Berlin's Financial Blitzkrieg? The Western media haven't quite yet specified who the new financial dictators of Europe are. Reports refer blandly to "EU hardliners" and "tough EU leaders," but reading between the lines it is clear that the paymaster calling the tune now for the rest of Europe is Berlin. And the tune is not melodious.

Ex-British PM Gordon Brown: My Life, My Excuses over Iraq War Gordon Brown, the former British prime minister who took over from Tony Blair in 2007, made headlines earlier this month when he claimed that Britain had been hoodwinked by the Americans about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and thus duped into joining the war on that country.

US, Allies Massacre at Will, Yet Condemn Russia In this mayhem and madness, it might seem perhaps counter-intuitive to be optimistic. But good reason for optimism is that Western governments and their servile media are exposing themselves for the criminals and liars that they are. The rogue-state behavior of Washington and its allies has become so rampant it is no longer possible to hide.

US Outcry over Syria... Tears Followed By NATO Bombs Hundreds of civilians in the western districts of Aleppo have been killed from indiscriminate shelling and sniping by militants from the eastern side. When do you ever hear or read the Western media reporting on those crimes? You don't, because that would unravel the propaganda narrative aimed at demonizing, criminalizing and delegitimizing the Syrian government and its Russia ally.

Syria Shows US Under Military Rule As the ceasefire came into effect on Sept 12, the Pentagon was contemptuously voicing doubts about its success. It was obvious that the US military establishment did not want the ceasefire arrangement with Russia. That dissent was tantamount to subverting Obama's presidential authority and his diplomatic option. The Pentagon has pulled rank on the White House's diplomacy with Russia. And US policy is under military rule.

Rogue state, what rogue state? Burgeoning EU-Iran relations signal US adrift What's all this American talk about Iran being a rogue state, a scourge of global terrorism? The presence of European officials -- and the absence of American ones -- during the inauguration of President Rouhani was a spectacular demonstration of dissonance and repudiation of American policy.

Russiagate Cover for Real Scandal Foreign interference in US politics -- in which often nefarious foreign interests are promoted over those of ordinary American citizens -- is conducted on a gargantuan and systematic scale. But this massively illegal interference in flagrant violation of US laws is stupendously ignored by the American media.

Russophobia -- Symptom of US Implosion The election of Trump is a symptom of failure and widespread disillusionment among voters towards the two-party train wreck of Republicans and Democrats. That is why the specter of Russian interference in the US political system had to be conjured up, by necessity, as a way of explaining the abject failure and the ensuing popular revolt.

The US is Executing a Global War Plan American imperialism trying to assert hegemony over the international order for the benefit of US capitalism. Three unfolding war scenarios are seen in Syria, North Korea and Ukraine. These are not disparate, disassociated conflicts. They are inter-related expressions of the American war plans. War plans which involve the moving of strategic military power into position.

Trump comes clean...from world's policeman to thug running a global protection racket A big bugbear for Trump is how he views US allies and client regimes as "not pulling their weight" in terms of military deployment. Trump has been browbeating European NATO members to cough up more on military budgets, and he has berated the Saudis and other Gulf Arab regimes to pay more for American interventions.

Russian Spy Poison Attack: Is Nord Stream 2 the Bigger Target? The campaign to undermine the Russian-EU gas partnership has come with renewed impetus -- as seen in the delegation last week to Washington by the Polish and Baltic government ministers. Of course, they are pushing at an open door. American state interests are wedded to the objective of knocking out Russia as Europe's gas supplier.

Korea Crisis Exposes Orwellian West In spite of the heinous shame of its unique criminality, American leaders continually reserve the right to threaten other nations with nuclear annihilation. The oft-repeated phrase "all options on the table" is the Orwellian language used by the US to refer to its self-ordained prerogative to use nuclear weapons, codified in its "first-strike doctrine."

Trump Ready to Nix Nikki? Trump is wary that Haley's grandstanding at the UN is more about advancing her political reputation among the Republican party, with a view to launching a run for the presidency in 2020. There is even talk of Haley teaming up with the current vice president Mike Pence for the presidential ticket. Trump is none too pleased with the conjecture about Haley striving to become the first female president.

Why Trump is Winding Up Tensions with North Korea The logic of war profits and strategic conflict with China mean that Trump and the Washington establishment do not want to find a peaceful resolution with North Korea. Hence a return to the hostile wind-up of tensions.

Erdogan Plays US and Russia Erdogan's regime and Turkish military intelligence have been crucial sponsors and facilitators for a myriad of terrorist militias, including the so-called Free Syrian Army, Turkmen and the more overtly Al Qaeda-linked jihadists. They are all part of the covert war for regime change in Syria that Turkey has fomented since 2011 along with the US, Britain, France and regional partners like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Israel.
