by Stephen Lendman
Obama and Vladimir Putin are geopolitical polar opposites. Russia’s leader supports peace, stability and mutual cooperation among all countries.
He believes nation-state sovereignty is inviolable. He embraces UN Charter and other fundamental rule of law principles.
He opposes interfering in the internal affairs of other nations. He believes no country may attack another except in self-defense – and only if Security Council members authorize it as core international law stipulates.
Obama thrives on endless wars of aggression, violence and instability. He claims a divine right to intervene against other nations at his discretion – politically, economically and militarily.
He believes war is peace. He calls wars of aggression liberating ones. His notion of humanitarian intervention is genocidal slaughter and destruction – against one nation after another.
He flagrantly breaches Nuremberg Principles defining crimes against peace to include:
“(i) Planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances; (and)
(ii) Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the acts mentioned under (i).”
He targets all sovereign independent countries for regime change. He wants US-controlled puppet leadership replacing them.
He wants unchallenged dominion over planet earth. He wants its resources plundered for profit, its people ruthlessly exploited.
Endless US wars of aggression rage. One country after another is systematically raped.
Fundamental freedoms are targeted for elimination. New World Order priorities matter most.
On May 9, in his weekly remarks, Obama discussed V-Day’s 70th anniversary.
His comments addressed America’s European war effort alone – creating the illusion that US forces defeated Nazi Germany almost singlehandedly.
No nation contributed more with greater sacrifice than Soviet Russia. Without its heroic efforts, Hitler might have won.
Obama ignored its contribution entirely. His “tribute to all who served” included only US “soldiers, sailors, marines, coast guard, (and) merchant marines (who) risked their lives, and gave their lives so that we, the people the world over, could live free.”
“This was the (US) generation that literally saved the world – that ended the war and laid the foundation for peace.”
He urged “rededicating ourselves to the freedoms for which they fought” – ones he’s systematically gone all-out to destroy at home and abroad.
“Let’s make sure that we keep striving to fulfill our founding ideals,” he said.
America was always run by its rich, well-born and privileged. It’s democracy is fake. It exists in name only. Ordinary people have no say whatever.
Elections when held are farcical – meaningless exercises in illusion. Half or more of the electorate opting out shows popular rejection of rule of, by and for monied interests only.
They run things. Duopoly power serves them. Washington’s criminal class is bipartisan. Popular needs and concerns are increasingly ignored. They’re disappearing in plain sight.
“Let’s stand united with our allies, in Europe and beyond, on behalf of our common values – freedom, security, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law around the world – and against bigotry and hatred in all their forms so that we give meaning to that pledge: ‘Never forget. Never again,’ ” Obama blustered.
Fact: Neocon lunatics run the Washington asylum.
Fact: State terrorism is official policy. So is carving up whole continents for profit.
Fact: America’s only enemies are ones it invents.
Fact: No nation in world history harmed more people over a longer duration than America.
Fact: None more duplicitously breach core democratic principles it claims to support.
Fact: None wage more endless wars of aggression against nations threatening no others.
Fact: None support more despotic regimes for its own self-interest.
Fact: None have greater imperial aims – destructive ones violating core international laws, norms and standards.
Fact: None more threaten world peace, security and stability.
Fact: None more leave humanity’s survival up for grabs.
Fact: Nothing matters more than stopping this monster before it kills everyone.
Putin is geopolitically opposite. He’s not revanchist. He has no territorial aims.
He doesn’t threaten his neighbors. He supports multi-world polarity. He deplores war. He champions peace.
He wants all conflicts resolved diplomatically. He justifiably opposes America’s hegemonic ambitions. He knows we must find a way to end wars or they’ll end us.
His forthright Saturday Moscow Red Square V-Day address contrasted markedly with Obama’s duplicity.
He “pa(id) tribute to all those (from dozens of countries) who fought” to defeat the scourge of fascism.
“Many European nations were enslaved and occupied,” he explained. “The Soviet Union bore the brunt of” Hitler’s aggression.
Its heroic efforts contributed most by far to his defeat. “Veterans of the Great Patriotic War…should know…we highly value their fortitude, courage and dedication to frontline brotherhood.”
Putin notably “pa(id) tribute to our allies in the anti-Hitler coalition. We are grateful to the peoples of Great Britain, France and the United States of America for the contribution to the Victory,” he said.
He explained how “basic principles of international cooperation have come to be increasingly ignored.”
He stressed the importance of multi-world polarity. He warned about “strong-arm block thinking gaining momentum.”
He stressed the urgency of “creati(ng) a system of equal security for all states…Only then will we be able to ensure peace and tranquility on the planet.”
He welcomed around 30 foreign leaders, other dignitaries and numerous guests from abroad who participated in Saturday’s momentous commemoration.
Obama, US officials and rogue Western counterparts were noticeable by their absence.
China’s Xi Jinping stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Putin. Its military forces for the first time marched with their Russian counterparts in the ceremonial parade. Its ships joined Russia’s Black Sea Fleet offshore.
China’s participation highlights deepening Sino/Russian ties. Both leaders adopted a joint declaration on strengthening strategically important/mutually beneficial relations.
A separate joint declaration involves cooperating on Eurasian Economic Union and Silk Road Economic Belt development.
Important bilateral economic, financial, business and security agreement documents were signed.
Current, past, and certain future ones signify increasing Sino/Russian ties benefitting both nations enormously.
Together they’re a powerful political, economic and military alliance against destructive US hegemonic ambitions – a union for peace and stability v. America’s war machine.

Excellent, telling it as it is!
Good summarization of our dinner table discussion last night.
It’s like comparing apples and rotten apples.
Putin is healthy and good for you.
The other is full of worms.
Not quite. A Chinese friend once told me ‘If the worms wont eat it neither will I.’ A better comparison would be to the Frankinfood that is poisoning the populace.
Glad to see Stephen Lendman appearing here.
Others in the US whose similar work you may wish to consider are Robert Parry, Eric Zuesse and Mike Whitney, and there are others as well who stand against Obama’s fascist policies and practices.
We are not all Obama-bots, we just have no avenue of effective opposition open to us.
Jack,
“we just have no avenue of effective opposition open to us”.
That is a mis-perception, brother.
The summary by Lindman I endorse 100%.
The others you mention (other than Zeusse) I have not heard of but will immediately do some searching of their work.
Meanwhile, the granddaddy of all living Americans opposing Empire is without question Lyndon H LaRouche “Jr” now 93 years old. http://www.larouchepac.com
While he’s still living, it would be useful if a few million Americans such as yourself would suck it up and just get over the “L” word for once and for all and potently take up some of the conceptual weaponry that he and his associates have advanced for this anti-Imperial effort beginning approximately 1969, and still continuing today.
Intimidated by the decades old efforts of the banker’s CIA and the British to destroy him and his movement? Get over it. Key parts of the Chinese and the Russian leadership know Lyn and Helga quite well and are potently employing LaRouchian concepts as we speak, Helga having been publically acknolwedged in China as “The Silk Road Lady” for promoting new infrastructure corridors as a key component of development and peace, outflanking Anglo-American geopolitical divide and conquer schemes of sea power based British Imperial (in origin) geopolitics and Lyndon having become personal friends with influential Russians from space scientist Pobisk Kuznetsov to economist and Putin advisor Sergei Gazyev to many, many others.
I myself am 65 and organized with the movement for nearly 20 years, from about 1982 thru 2000. Unlike many who left and found it necessary to disavow their former commitment in order to seek shelter in private life, I find it impossible to disavow what I know to be true, and soberly regard as probably my most significant contribution imaginable to the further evolution of the human species.
If you or others on this thread respond and wish to get some insider help with the biggest hurdles you have encountered that might have caused you, to shy away from acquaintance with LaRouche and the potent conceptual weaponry he has contributed to this struggle against the satanic world oligarchy, I will do my best to get you over those hurdles.
If Americans contribute 1/10 the effort that Russia contributes today and 1/1000 of the effort that the Soviet Union contributed 1940-1945, the century plus of war that the Price of the Isles (Edward 7th) schemed up in the late 1800s will finally end with the defeat of his oligarchical faction and the triumph of the human race. Lyndon LaRouche has done far, far, far more than any of his countrymen in that regard, including a few you haven’t mentioned that are admittedly doing valuable work (William Engdahl, Webster Tarpley,to name just two) , that were trained or self trained, if you will, in his association but are no longer associated with him day to day.
I will further develop the potent opposition available to you and me and all other Americans, without hesitation, if prompted. Thank you for your post.

you are right concourse.
when lyndon larouche got the correct diagnosis about the English being the root evil in this world for several hundred years then he was declared a crank rather than looking at all evidence which states openly at anyone who cares to look.
All plots r done by the evil english nation (an English Caliphate wrongly called british empire) –a soggy island of pirates called england-read dumas interview-and then they pass the blame to jews if plots turned unpopular.
England is head of the family. USA is just the loud mouthed son with a fancy car.
Even after French ex minster Dumas saying that English planned Syrian terrorism years ago-rus talks?
england is running a WW3 against all non-anglo nations of course it needs American arms for that.
The United States Declaration of Independence accused the British government of “a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinc[ing] a design to reduce [the people] under absolute Despotism”. Britian today has not changed at all from that time.
Only difference is that she employs the same tactics and strategy but not openly and does it behind the veil.
Gulf war plotted by witch thatcher, first Iraq war by criminal tony blair- this Syrian war again by english rats which borne their ugly child ISIS.
only when wars become unpopular the english stop taking credit for that and let blame b placed on Jews
and stupid people including hitler blamed jews while it was all along the english parasites who loot.
Cold war against Russia was started for the same reason as cold war against Germany has started. TO keep britain in picture as it gives them a sense of false position, to harass other country and wreck others economy. IN august 1990, the soviets had captured some persons with british passports who were pumping up False notes of Roubles in Russia. IN other words they were british agents who ,by putting illegal tenders were making rouble go down in value and ultimately wrecking Russian economy.
england lives off protection money from the international criminals who get asylum in england 4 money. It is a mafia MOB living off protection racket on a global scale.
biggest money laundering is done by the english race in london calling it service industry.
I am not defending “the Empire”, however you are doing your personal credibility no favors when you write nonsense like this:
“In august 1990, the soviets had captured some persons with british passports who were pumping up False notes of Roubles in Russia. IN other words they were british agents who ,by putting illegal tenders were making rouble go down in value and ultimately wrecking Russian economy.”
It would take billions of roubles to have any impact on the foreign exchange value of the rouble, George Soros could have done in a couple of days what it would have taken these guys years and shipping containers of printed notes to accomplish. And by that same “printing” measure Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellin should have completely destroyed America by now.
Ano
Thanks for the affirmation.
Just let me argue one point: It is not the English “race” that is the problem. It is the Venetian satanism as philosophy of evil that has hijacked that land more than two centuries ago. Now their corrupted elites (Thatcher, Blair, Cameron) may subtly appeal to the Anglo in most of their American junior partners, especially of the “blue blood” variety, but that’s their racist schtick, and I wouldn’t recommend that you adopt it.
Next, just like the Venetians (Paolo Sarpi, et al see https://youtu.be/FEfX-Pmrr94) the same virus will be transplanted elsewhere to attempt to perpetuate itself, leaving hapless English and Yanks as victims and recipients of hatred for centuries to come, for their failure to quarantine the evil in time.
Don’t worry. They will infect Russia and China (more seriously, if they possibly can) as well, and attempt to hijack those hosts, or anywhere else that is growing and vibrant……… Help inocculate those who may be deceived, and finally stamp out the evil tradition of oligarchy dating before Venice and Rome.
Ano,
” stupid people including hitler blamed jews while it was all along the english parasites”.
Really ? England, a country that has to include prostitution and illicit drug sales into the Gross Domestic Product to show any “growth” in the economy. Hmmm, Masters of the World?
My America dissolved in the 1970’s when Zionism became overiding policy and the many were decieved by the “chosen” few. Why do Americans act against thier own interests and blindly for Israel’s racist and devious agenda? Remember the USS Liberty (1967) where American airmen were ordered back to the carrier while Israeli pilots killed and maimed American sailors.
Excellent writing. Thank you
Ignorance ….::
Sorry but in defense of Ano (who does mean well, I believe, he could just tighten up a bit on the “rigor thing” (and I don’t mean mortis…..) the arm of the octopus that has your dander up does have its roots in what he is imperfectly expressing. (Sorry if I sound condescending, Ano…just trying to help out and put several decades of experience discussing these maters to some use here……) but the body of the octopus for the Zionism project in recent times is not the ground, the Real estate, the dirt across the channel from Normandy. It is the disease of oligarchy and Empire that just so happens to have been headquartered on that host territory for a good long while.
Do they sap and destroy the host land with drugs and varied forms of depravity? Of course! The better to refine the practices of Empire for export abroad…….Did not the Roman Emperors manipulate and destroy the citizens of Roman with the games at the Coliseum and a wide variety of irrational cults?
You’ve got one of the arms, alright. Figure out the body that generated it and the head that gives it commands. And then what the other 7 main arms consist of. Thank you for your post.
Thanks for some clarity.
However, English dominance has come and gone like Romes. I acknowledge the evil banking families from England originated the Billionaire Boys Club world domination theme. The Rich man’s burden.
Now it’s era of Goldman Sachs and Zionist/Israeli dominance.
Those who you dare not question are your masters. Israel must never be questioned.
@iggy Correct.
To learn who rules over you simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise. Voltaire.
LB and Iggy:
True enough, as far as mechanisms of control go. But not true in terms of virus lineage continuity or order of command heirarchy.London predates Israel and is higher in the control heirarchy. They will try to jump ship and blame their Yank counterparts as patsies if the current imperial gambit fail, (and allow Armageddon to incinerate every single jew in the Middle East)but they are far less dead and gone than their Venetian precursors (who aren’t 100% dead either) or their Roman ones, for that matter. There is still continuity of wealth (fondi) and power (ideas, mechanisms of mental control) even in those more ancient centers, who are still revered by their more recent converts in the British Isles and our shores, for their antiquity and inventiveness and refinement of oligarchic control of the mind of humans anywhere and everywhere. Thank you both for your posts.
You sir, are in my humble opinion are very truthful. I must do more searching. Thank You.
My contention is that the status quo is longer valid. We are in the final chapter. The systems of control used so regularly are less and less effective. The .01% facist masters know their time is over.
Israel now has state of the art German submarines, some free gifts- the others hughly discounted, These subs can fire nuclear tipped missles, of which Israel has plenty. This means Israel can hit any country on earth with nukes. Including the u$a. English nukes require American codes to fire? Why if they’re English. We have de-evolved to military might makes right. Here the power has shifted. Will Israel attack the u$a with nukes in a false flag operation to start the final war?
9-11 2.0 ? Stay tuned to the Zionist media.
Your picking of the 70s reminded me of reading someone called Dr Peter Beter years ago speaking of mavericks. His audio letters make just as intense reading as Larouche and just as pertinent esp in his focus on USA and Russia, not England. Between the two of them it’s quite a chew and way too much to swallow with impunity…but the 70s according to Beter is when the faction of Christian Russians regained control in the Soviet Union and the Bolsheviks were expelled and emigrated to positions of influence in the US welcomed by their partners the Rockefellers …both of them backed to their original seat by Rothschild interests; Rockefeller in the era of the robber barons in US and Bolsheviks backed by Rockefellers in 1917…..

Can I have your email address please? Am interested.
The problem with the US policy is that it’s not just Obama, any other US president would be the same. Tell me, which president would have a different policy against Russia, except for the candidate that hardly anyone voted for: Ron Paul. Fact is if it were McCain, Romney, Hillary etc, it would have made no difference, and it could be even worse.
Ross Perot would have made some real, lasting changes.
But he was bundled off the political stage quicker than an ebola victim.
Stephen Cohen and Mearsheimer are must-reads
The same money that helped in Al Andalus moved to Venice after and then England and mixed with the elites.
It is the European version of afrocentricism to think that w europe which achieved nothing in millenia, suddenly rose up to be everything.
It requires re writing history for everything to be an aryan invasion, and for germanics to be aryan.
Lol, the word Germany is one tribe who settled near Rome. A single manuscript records that name and is the entire basis of existence for Germany France and the English.
Still think they are ‘independent’ actors?
Good to see, spread the word. The American people are being led to their own destruction, but cannot see it.
For most Amerkans their country is already in disrepair. In the period where the US economy last doubled in size (roughly the last twenty-five years)median wages stayed stagnant. Debt is ionospheric, housing once again pretty much unaffordable, cities like Detroit ruined with people’s water being cut off, police death-squads running amuk (the video from Albuquerque of the cold-blooded murder by hyper-obese thugs dressed as soldiers, of a schizophrenic man, for the capital crime of sleeping rough was pretty horrific)the economy once again turning down, inequality unprecedented etc. The tribal and caste rulers are doing very nicely, however.
The world must come to terms with reality: the bankrupt, decadent Empire now survives on permanent conflict and on perpetual war only. In the hope of thereby avoiding total collapse, it prefers to insanely believe it can win any total war, including nuclear war.
The whole world must unite urgently against that demented dream of global hegemony over the ruins of human civilisations.
The ruling Zio-Atlanticist elite intend to be rid of the billions of ‘useless eaters’ who they fear and despise, and whose extermination they have plotted for decades. Whether nuclear war, ecological collapse, global pandemics or some combination, the elite imagine in their narcissistic hubris, that they will survive. Moreover the killing itself is immensely rewarding to genocidal psychopaths.
Agree totally (well almost). The writer puts Obama as the responsible, the mastermind, well he is indeed in a formal way as the POTUS, but everyone agrees that Obama is just a puppet, a figure doing what his masters behind order him to do. Could be any other president, any other ruling party, the result would be about the same I believe. The problem (with the US) lies deep down therefore so difficult if not impossible to correct.
“Fact: America’s only enemies are ones it invents”
Beg to differ. There is a groundswell of hatred of the US in most places across the globe, for quite obvious reasons. This became spectacularly clear on 911 when people rejoiced and, yes, gloated worldwide at the Exceptionals’ expense. Needless to say, the latters’ emotions are exactly the same with regard to the non-Exceptional majority of the world’s population.
All in all, the contrast between Putin’s Russia and Obama’s Pindostan is almost beyond comprehension. Clearly, each one of them has got the admirers it deserves.
I am not convinced. Nowhere in the world do human beings hate for no reason. Suffice to have the integrity and the courage to seek what those reasons are… and it will become crystal clear to any decent human being that the Empire’s ennemies have always massively been of its own making, just as they are today.
Only a stubborn refusal to see the true, unavoidable consequences of its own actions and the vicious climax reached by basking in denial can explain the Empire remaining forever out of touch with reality.
Regarding the Pindos’ Exceptionalism (NB: they’re not referring to their truly exceptional obesity, imbecility, and depravity), it is just another ideological manifestation of rank parasitism. This verdict also applies to everyday Western insanity and paranoia, usually referred to as “right-wing extremism”. The fears and hatreds prevailing among parasites duly reflect the fact that they always face the dual risk of their host either dealing with them appropriately or else becoming exhausted, meaning the parasites’ own food chain breaks down as well.
Hence, if and when Obama and the Pindos feel enough threatened as the parasites they are, then they sure as hell will conclude they have a reason to kill off the entire planet many times over. Yes: violently insane Corporate Media campaigns will play their due part in all of this, but these campaigns are only effective because parasites are automatically receptive to whatever mindless tripe keeps defending their “sacred way of life”.
I like your nickname. Finnish is a beautiful language!
Testifies to my “Perse-Verance” :-D
‘Exceptionalism’ is just another manifestation of the boundless egomania of psychopaths. The USA is a pathocracy, ruled by psychopaths of assorted virulence. The worst, like Albright, Hillary Clinton, Powers (the ‘fair’ sex)McCain, Obama himself, Brzezinski et al, are morally insane to an extraordinary degree, all made worse by their lack of conscience and sense of invulnerability. The psychopathy extends to the corporate MSM, where brazen lying is ubiquitous, with the liars giving every indication that they actually believe the most preposterous untruths. Of course, any deviation from Groupthink brings pretty swift sacking, in the tradition of Je suis Charlie, of really existing ‘Freedom of Opinion’. Basically, under capitalism, a system created by insatiably greedy psychopaths with no moral qualms over exploiting humanity and the natural world, without limit. everything is dominated by the money power of the rich capitalists. Starting with politics, the MSM, ‘entertainment’ etc. In other words the pathopsychology of the ruling elite is projected onto society, and non-conformists are marginalised, or exterminated. After a few decades of this process, where greed is valued over making do with a decent sufficiency, where increasingly ruthless competition is preferred to co-operation, private excess over collective compassion etc, society and the individuals within it become increasingly callous, paranoid, vicious, indifferent to the fate of others and violent. The two Universal Lubricants of the greed-driven society are money and violence. And is the USA not the perfect example of this process reaching its end-stage?
Nussiminen, you say “This became spectacularly clear on 911 when people rejoiced and, yes gloated worldwide at the Exceptionals’ expense. ”
Do you really mean to suggest that the answer to “cui bono?” in regards to 911 was NOT the Exceptionalists themselves? That they played no part in LIHOP (Let It Happen On Purpose) or MIHOP (Made It Happen On Purpose) in order to corral ignorant, fearful Americans into being their stupified and terrified support base? That air defense in the most defended airspace on the planet is simply suspended for an hour and 45 minutes by a man on dialysis in a cave in Afghanistan with no US strings being pulled?
Please disabuse yourself of that illusion and order a copy (5th Edition) of 9/11 Synthetic Terror MADE IN USA by Webster Griffin Tarpley.
Like you, I would also argue with Lendman’s quote on America’s enemies being only of its own invention. The REAL America (almost forgotten, almost fully destroyed) always had a determined enemy in the British Empire fully committed to exterminate the ideas of 1776. And they had plenty of old rotten allies in other parts of Europe among the feudal imperial oligarchy class in the Netherlands, France, Italy, etc.
From even the 1600s these forces and their agents and allies on these shores comprised a fifth column of traitors from within, some quite witting, others quite unconscious of their venal corruption and ripeness for treason, both to the Constitution and to the human race more generally.
As far as the neocon fascists that most of the world knows us by today, they ought to truthfully admit, “We have met the Enemy and they are us! In fact we see them right now, in our mirrors!”
Problem is, almost all of them are too venal, corrupt, and historically stupid to even recognize the enemy when it is staring them in the face, much less the British imperial game masters and agents who helped create this fifth column through 3 plus centuries of subterfuge, assassination, cultural warfare and the like.
Actually, my take on 911 is that it’s sort of much ado about nothing. Suffice it to say that regardless of how and by whom it was staged and what heap of filth, lies, and sleaze accompany it, the genuine, instant/spontaneous, prevalent mood in the world was a blunt: “Serves you right”. And indeed that is an entirely justified reaction, given the 100% complicity of the WTC and the Pentagon in enforcing New World Order tyranny.
One wonders what’s most upsetting to the Pindos: Being set ablaze by their own patriotic war-mongering betters or being outsmarted by a bunch of non-Exceptionals.
Nussiminem
This isn’t professional wrestling or soap opera fantasy, where what counts is the “feelings” of justifiably “anti-American” common people being sordidly liberated so they can “express themselves”, so you can take pleasure in it all, mistakenly thinking that it is at the expense of the bastards you do have reason to hate.
That reaction, among the little people, while understandable, is neither intelligent, nor justified by reason, only gut, victimized reaction.
Were the PNAC neocons who wrote of the need for a New Pearl Harbor catalyzing event to make their plans of world hegemony feasible (through mass brainwashing and steam rolling right over the capacities of most Americans to even remotely comprehend what might be afoot) injured or burned on Sept 11, 2001??? Not at all. That was an empowering event for them, not an injurious one, and yet “nothing” for you, compared to the unleashing of more unreason, more clueless emotion, and the satisfaction you can derive from others letting it all hang out, in their stupidity?That’s gratifying???
Very interesting. I believe the leadership in Moscow and Beijing, and even in the vassal states of Western Europe know full well it was a set up, and by whom. I would say their approach is more fruitfully analytical than what you have displayed here, and they were not pleased in the least.
Thank you for both posts.
The WTC sacrificial victims on the altar of Zionist ambition did not deserve it. The US elite certainly do, but they keep themselves safe. The next false flag will sacrifice more ‘unchosen people’, you can be sure of that.
Nice you included the drive to destroy the Spirit of ’76 in your comment. That fact is within the working title for a book I’m writing: The Outlaw Empire and Destruction of the Sprit of ’76. Many will be surprised to learn they both began at Philadelphia in 1787.
Outlaw Historian, I look forward to your book.
I just hope it isn’t of the “Let’s Throw The Baby (esp Franklin, Washington and Hamilton) Out With The Bathwater” School of History that one friend on this site adheres to.
I’m just waiting for another crackpot attack on Abraham Lincoln as a useful foil to unravel his Aristotelianism for him and sweep it away, in this minds of most visitirs to this site who may not be sure who is correct.
Nope, US keeps making enemies that it then claim needs to be defeated: Libya, Syria, Iraq, ISIS, Iran, etc etc. Currently Russia is also on the hot seat, and the semi-cold-hot situation can get hot easily; after that, they will then make an enemy out of China and who know which other country.
So very true. It was at university that I first met intelligent, informed, people who revealed the depths and history of US elite perfidy. Until then I’d been a typically brainwashed worshiper of the US. Ever since it has been my experience that a love of the USA nearly always equates with human nastiness, and much worse. Our entire political elite are craven arse-lickers to the Real Evil Empire. If you wish to see a real master-class in hideous groveling, find Julia Gillard’s speech to the US Congress from a couple of years back. Excruciating!
The author gives O too much credit, these policies have been in place way before O soiled the White Hut.
One should ask who the paymasters are.
“This was the (US) generation that literally saved the world – that ended the war and laid the foundation for peace.”
The ZPC/NWO’s quislings continue to be the lowest form of life on the planet.
To be clear. I’m not criticizing Lendman’s analysis but praising him for ridiculing that exceptionalist, gay, right wing, pindo rubbish.
It is quite easy to provoke a violent reaction from a Right-thinking Amerkan Exceptionalist simply by pointing out that ‘the greatest generation’ were the Soviets who destroyed Nazism, and all the US efforts were side-shows in comparison. It gets them nicely irritated.
Thank you Stephen Lendman for a great summary of the egregious behaviour of the United States. To this list could be added the annexation of another country’s sovereign territory in Okinawa Japan, in Diego Garcia, in Quantanamo Bay Cuba and their military presence is unwelcome, by large sections of the population of many other countries.
It is time the whole world recognised the USA and its series of puppet presidents for what they are. The world leaders in aggressive warmongery and hypocrisy
This is a weak effort by Lendman.
It opens the door to political misdirection.
Obomber is not the legitimate President of the United States.
He, and all the titled Presidents since John F. Kennedy, have been unconstitutional pretenders in a pretense Democratic Republic.
Lendman attempts to give the Hollywood charleton actor, and the Oligarch regime he fronts for, a certain legitimacy. Obomber is treated as a Constitutional President by Lendman, albeit one who has the wrong politics.
Obomber has no politics. he is an employed actor-servant of the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Duponts, and the other major American and Zionist Oligarchs. The ‘expert’ Lendman ‘ fails to see the forest, because his sight is blocked by trees.
By way of recent analogy, peruse the sad press conference of Merkel and Putin. The German Chancellor, who, unlike Obomber, is a legitimate and constitutional leader of Germany, was clearly unable to part from the script she was given by the American/Anglo/Zionist Oligarchs. Obomber, does not have to worry his little head about matters of what he believes. All his beliefs center arount his receipt of the good life from his masters.
Poor Merkel, she is a proud German, a descendant of a ‘Master Race,’ and she will be recorded by history as being thoroughly humiliated, shamed. Obomber, on the other hand, will receive an Oscar, to go with his Nobel Prize.
The “Coup d’etat in Dallas” set in motion forces within the United States, who proceeded to murder 1 million Indonesians in 1965, 2 million Vietnamese by 1975, and 100,000 Guatemalan Native Americans by 1980. Since 1980, the United States governments have slaughtered, another million in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and the Ukraine. And that is the short list of American Zionist terrorist atrocities.
Obomber cannot be compared to Vladimir Putin. The Russian President is a Constitutional President, Obomber is just a hired actor. It is also misdirectional to discuss where Obomber was born. Obomber was Never born.
To treat Obomber and the American Government as somehow legitimate, (which is the true assigned role for American Liberals), is to attempt to block all revolutionary attempts to restore the American Republic.
With the upcoming American political electoral (circus in 2016, it is incumbent to demand of all the so-called critics of the American government, an explanation of what will be their approach to the circus. This electoral circus is the Big-Show of the largest world imperialist power, the United States. This circus will (it always does), underline their claim to be the hegemonic Democratic Political Culture of the World. They must be confronted here, or there will be no confrontation at all, just a shouting match, in which the “Wretched of the Earth” will lose to those who refuse to even attempt to march forward. We will lose to those who control the media, if we accept their primary premises. We cannot resist, if they can use all their weapons, and we, must play the part of boobs.
As in Novorossiya and Crimea,
1st, the people deserve to be informed with a proper critique of the Oppressors.
2nd, we must organize an electoral Dual Power confrontation (which allows the people to rally).
3rd, the people arm themselves to defend against the coming aggression of the Oligarchs.
There are no short cuts. Only the restoration of the American Republic will end the pain.
For the Anarchist Collective.
For the Democratic Republics!

“He, and all the titled Presidents since John F. Kennedy, have been unconstitutional pretenders in a pretence Democratic Republic.”
I think that you will find that there has been no “United States of America” since the southern states walked out of the Congress in 1861. At that moment the United States of America ceased to exist and in its place Lincoln implanted a military based state COMPANY called “The USA”. It retained a form of the original Constitution as the company manifesto to placate the masses but the country formally known as the United States of America ceased to exist in 1861.
So there have been NO “Presidents” of the United States of America since 1861 only actors or at best CEOs.
There is no “America”

Thanks for your critique of my missive.
I have heard from others the view you have expressed. However, if one examines America’s history, the Nation of the “United States of America” did continue to exist after 1861, although in an altered form. After a Civil War nations undergo serious changes in their government. It is understood that -to the victors belong the spoils.
The victors helped construct a Capitalist and Imperialist power that grew in power, and by the end of World War I, the United States became the most powerful nation on earth. The altered Constitution (slavery was banned in all the nation), remained in effect. The revamped nation continued to abuse, exploit, and oppress the freed slaves, and wealthy Oligarchs dominated the political and economic structure.
The post 1861 nation continued its Constitutional Republic, with routine elections, and politicians with power, and Powerful Presidents. The first Roosevelt, Wilson, the second Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy, stood out as powerful and visionary (I don’t insist their visions were always correct), leaders. The Congress, through Franklin Roosevelt, correctly (obeying the law of the land, the Constitution), declared wars (and not the Military Financial Complex). In 1960, Kennedy refused the CIA and American military leaders insistance that he commit an act of war by ordering the bombing of Cuba. The Constitution remained the law of the land, and the elected President, our National leader, respected it, and, mostly, loved our nation’s people.
**The main point here: is that something Radically changed – forever – on November 22, 1963.** Our last Constitutional (lawful) President, and his government were assassinated (shot out of power). Unlike the Radcal Republican Congress of 1865 (after the assassination of President Lincoln), the American Congress of 1963, failed to pick up the pieces and restore the Constitutional Republican government.
After the murder of Kennedy and his government, not only did Congress fail to pick up the pieces, Congress assisted in the coverup. The tragedy of 911 was small potatoes in comparison with the earth shaking events of November 22, 1963. Everything changed; many holocausts were on the way. The 3 branches of government gradually lost more of their power. The Presidents, exercised fewer functions, except to front (as we say) for endless undeclared wars (which are a complete violation of Constitution procedure), and Congress declined to a body of illiterate thieves (recall Caligula’s Senate). And the Supreme Court exists only to give legal cover to the crimes of the Oligarchs. State and local governments mirror the Federal political and moral decline.
Something happened on November 22, 1963, and we still have not come to grips with it.
There is no , and Peter
All attempts to summarize and generalize, especially in very limited space here, will be flawed.
But I find the preposition that Lincoln did nothing useful and was not a real president of any real nation called the USA to be one of the most preposterous absurdities I have heard in a long, long time. Will elaborate more when I have the time, as I have noticed this cropping up here often enough that I am sure it will be seen again.
My summary is that the USA territory, economy (north and south, east and west), governmental institutions and much more have been a strategic battleground and tug of war between positive and negative forces from the very beginning. And the struggle has been messy and complicated by mistakes and compromises (like McKinley choosing TR for VP, FDR choosing Truman, and even Reagan choosing Bush). When the positive leadership presidents die or are (Reagan was far short of McKinley or FDR in leadershipt stature, but at least he was human, unlike Obomber (I like that name tweaking, Peter…it’s probably the way 80% of Middle America pronounces his name, and it does fit about the only thing he knows how to do, ie kill) shot and weakened, tragedy or great trouble is afoot.
I just wanted to add one event in the same set with Nov 22, 1963 and 9/11.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These were the result of that little nothing Truman, the Obomber of his day accepting orders from the Wall St fascists that supported Hitler and chaffed at the restrictions that FDR was able to contain them with, while he lived. Here you had a defeated adversary, its navy and air-force utterly destroyed, a raw materials import dependent island under 100% air and naval blockade, exploring terms of surrender through Vatican mediation and you NUKE them???
This is the fascist network whose continuation needs to finally be put out of commission from without, and from within.
You nuke them if killing is your greatest psychological reward, if you see it granting you some quasi-mystical power over death itself (essential for those who very much fear death)and if you want to send an intimidatory message to the Soviets.
You vastly under-estimated the number of victims of Amerkan genocide. They have killed over two million in Iraq alone since 1991.
But this list wouldn’t be complete without The Zionist Plan for the Middle East .
Yes, this 1982, Jewish, master plan to break up all the entities surrounding the Apartheid State is in full swing right now [Lebanon, Iraq, Syria].
To proclaim someone is an antisemite for saying so, fortunately has become a badge of honor [thanks to the endless overuse of excluding Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims in doing so].
Way to go, Shlomo!
The US empire did not liberate Europe from fascism. Instead they prevented it in Spain and Portugal und rescued thousands of fascists like Pavelic, Bandera, Gehlen and Wernher von Braun from being punished for thier crimes against humanity.

Obama is a moral and ethical vacum. There maybe some Americans that are aware of what the US has done to many peoples around the world but many are nationalistic and full of hubris and arrogance.
I don’t agree with all you paint Putin with. Your stating that He has always referred to Diplomacy rather then conflict.? Were they not in combat just recently and by world opinion backed out.?
Good lord.. it seems that at least one individual has an amazing capacity to completely ignore Putin’s career and advancement to the top position in the KGB, and what he did as an agent and then as the head of the agency before his superiors dashed his hopes and dreams. Such amazingly and stultifying delusions of his greatness baffle me. Who could possibly believe such a portrait of nobility and benefaction is the same as the portrait he actually displayed for more than 30 years- the one that documented and indicted the calculating and cold perpetrator of countless instances of deception by design, the targets of these actions being, among others, every one of these same nations he supposedly now claims to want to create this “union for peace and stability” with. I only need one guess which nation he intends to “lead” this union, and I know exactly how he intends to enforce this “peace and stability” as well. But don’t ask me. Ask any Pole, Czech, other resident of any of the Eastern Bloc nations, or for that matter, ask a Russian who remembers how the soviet political machine created that same “peace and stability” from 1917 to 1991. Putin was an important actor in the decades before that all ended. It seems that some people didn’t even need to work at blocking out any mention or reference to the casual torture of suspects and those many thousands named as enemies of the state which we know to be documented and undisputed fact. This article insists that I ignore Putin’s known violations of human rights, and the admittedly undocumented but justifiable assumption of his role in the killings of at least thousands of both Soviet and foreign individuals who were deemed to be enemies of the state. This man spent his entire adult life ardently working to ensure the expansion of influence and to ensure the soviet government would maintain the iron grip of aggression and conquest of the unwilling “members” of the Soviet Union, and yet the author of the article denies it with the ease of a slick and almost believable passion of a propaganda master (that Putin himself would be impressed with, no doubt). We are to ignore the life work of an individual who’s entire career until the most recent of times has been occupied with achieving the most well documented totalitarian dictatorial political model that has ever been perpetrated. That anyone would buy such a fantastical and impossible reality over known fact and logically extrapolated probabilities makes me believe that it must be even easier than I’d thought to actually brainwash someone smart enough to operate a computer. Reason and Logic are discarded like Putin’s old allegiances, values, morals and character have been. I’m sorry. It is virtually impossible for me to ignore that whole glaringly known shift that Putin made when his former office was supposedly “dissolved”, as inconvenient as my inability to deny such recent history may be to those who believe Putin to be this saint of a leader with only a song on his lips, good in his heart, and selfless deeds just waiting to perform. Are we truly being asked to swallow such inept cloaking of motive in Putin’s abrupt yet amazingly thorough and unreserved adoption of the exact opposite political ideology he had spent a lifetime preserving and strengthening, just on his testimony that he was now to be embracing liberty and the new brand of democracy of the 90s and 2000s that took hold in Moscow? Does ANYONE actually believe that the man who ran one of the most successful espionage organizations of all time, who personally engaged in torture and killing, who actively spied on his fellow countrymen so as to find “enemies” who could become a warning message to others who opposed the regime of oppression, theft, corruption and greed, now suddenly wants a free and open society? Does anyone actually believe that an unrepentant, exceptionally skilled and successful KGB spy, agent and former head of the most notorious espionage agency in the world is now a carrier of the bastion of freedom and equity? Don’t make me laugh so hard.. I’ll pull an abdominal muscle.
CIA pays by the word these days, does it? Too generous for Mossad.
You must know very little about the later KGB,after the Stalinist days.As for Putin,he was a comparatively low ranking official in the KGB during the Soviet era.You should really inform yourself better before posting nonsense.
Even Khodorkowski himself wouldn’t put it better.
Stephen Lendman does not get it, and likely never will.
The NAZIS were not the bad guys. IF Hitler had won, Western civilization would not be in its death throes and Western Civilization would not be consumed by Cultural Marxism. I have no idea why people like Mr. Lendman consider the Soviets to be heroes. Stalin, Lenin, and Trotsky were responsible for more than 40 million deaths. Stalin’s “five year plans” and liquidation of the Kulak class are some of the most unspeakable horrors in the history of the world. The Soviet Union was the most horrifying manifestation of evil that this world shall ever see.
!…….
One is so sorry, you are completely out of your marbles…
Stop talking crap.
The NAZIs were ALMOST as bad as the Soviets. Both were murderous totalarian dictatorships.
Under Nazi rule everything was regulated, for a farmer, how many chickens etc he was to have, how many eggs and other products he was to turn over, every little detail. And you didn’t dare say anything that might hint that you thought something your government was doing was wrong. Check out the White Rose sometime. Oh yes, they didn’t have mass gassings, they DID have mass murders where they roundedup all the jews, took them out into the woods and shot them. In the camps it was the same thing, hanging or shooting. However, if Hitler and his generals had treated folks just a wee bit better….there were those in the Soviet Union that at first hailed him as a liberator at first, that soon changed.
What is not truly understood it seems though, is that both Hitler, and Stalin were a part of the Illumanati, apparently Hitler feel into disfavor because he was trying to make Germany independent of the oligarch banking system, and saw Germany as being ‘uber allis’.
Wow. You make me feel pretty low about being an American. We really suck. Even though we invented rock n roll, comic books, and ice ream- but none of that matters i guess. America is evil! America must die!
Wow Anonymous, it’s pretty sad when you equate the TRUTH about our treasonous, criminal, mass-murdering controllers with YOUR self-worth and that of the rest of the country. Next, you state that “we” invented Rock n Roll, comic books and ice cream, well, the beats that were the beginnings of what we today call RnR arrived here with the slaves who practiced Voodoo/witchcraft etc. and those beats mixed with other instruments slowly morphed into blues and then into the first versions of Rock n Roll by black people in the south. So “WE” as a country, didn’t invent Rock n Roll, comic books, OR ice cream, but more importantly, those things are NOT what makes a country great, it’s the people as a whole that make it great. Unfortunately, we have become a nation of selfish, materialistic, children who believe we are entitled to do whatever we want, whenever we want to do it, no matter how many innocent people have to die to get it! And I shouldn’t say ALL Americans because there are MANY who actually READ the volumes of books, articles and blogs of the many investigative journalists and writers with integrity who write the actual FACTS,(not that it takes much investigation anymore) that our treasonous, psychopathic puppet leaders don’t even bother to conceal from us anymore! So Anonymous, when MILLIONS of innocent men, women and CHILDREN have been slaughtered and their cities/villages in many cases left uninhabitable because we were too ignorant, gullible and lazy to question the BLATANT LIES and COVER UPS fed to us by the elites controlled BULLS**T machine, the nightly news etc., just tell their angry, crying family members, (if there are any still alive) that we can send them comic books, ice cream or just tell them to relax and listen to our wonderful Rock n Roll! So once again, it’s not childish nonsense like comic books that make a country great, it’s how well we treat others in need! Our leaders are nothing but treasonous, arrogant, mass-murdering, self-serving, psychopathic scum who are PLACED in power to do the bidding of those who put them there!

Orwelian catch 22 Justifying preemptive war?
@ Stenka Razinova
The part “… only if Security Council members authorize it as core international law stipulates …” is dust and fog for crowds and adolescents.
Other than as an academic discipline in a law school, there is no such thing as “international law” in any honest sense.
What the members of the so-called “UN Security Council” claim is that they themselves “are” international law – “divine they” being merely a group of governments of a few countries which happened to have had accumulated much more military power than other countries in a certain short period of history (by the end of WW2 primarily). If one accepts their claim, one a fortiori submits to the principle that “might is right”. However, if one finds that unacceptable, one inevitably arrives at the conclusion of the preceding paragraph.
