SteveLendmanBlog – Syrian Chemical Weapons Deal: What Follows? – 29 September 2013

It’s all over but the beginning. More on that below.

On Friday, Security Council members unanimously adopted Resolution 2118: Security Council Requires Scheduled Destruction of Syria’s Chemical Weapons.

Ir rules out military force. It’s “fully consistent with the Russian-US Geneva agreements,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

“This is the result of coordinated efforts of Russia and the United States backed by all members of the UN Security Council and the majority of other states.”

Bernanke Stays the Course

by Stephen Lendman

Helicopter Ben surprised. Tapering was expected. Not now, he said. Reasons why include concern about economic strength.

He’s worried about how higher rates will impact global over-indebtedness.

When tapering was announced weeks earlier, these and other uncertainties were known. Why change policy now? Doing so makes Bernanke look like a taper tiger.

 by Stephen Lendman

It’s growing. Millions oppose more war. They’re fed up. They’re not silent. They’re speaking out. They’re making their feelings known. More on that below.

Impeach Obama Now!

by Stephen Lendman

A previous article called impeaching him a national imperative. Do it now. Do it before it’s too late.

He’s already guilty of multiple high crimes of war, against humanity and genocide.

He plans much more ahead. He intends lawless aggression against Syria. He risks regional war. He’s menacing humanity. 

SteveLendmanBlog – Israeli Lobby Targets Syria And Iran – 2 September 2013

Waging war on Syria is prelude to targeting Iran. The road to Tehran runs through Damascus.

It’s the Lobby’s prime target. It’s Israel’s. It’s America’s. First things first. War on Syria rages. Obama plans direct US intervention.

He intends lawless aggression. He decided irrespective of Security Council and/or congressional authorization.

SteveLendmanBlog – Lifting The Fake EU Arms Embargo – 30 May 2013

On May 27, the so-called one-year EU arms embargo on Syria’s opposition ended. Officially it does so on June 1. EU nations agreed to end what never existed.

Since Washington’s war on Syria began in early 2011, arms flowed freely. Western-enlisted death squads get them. At issue is replacing Assad with a subservient pro-Western puppet.

Syria’s being ravaged in the process. Washington, key NATO partners, Israel and rogue Arab state allies bear full responsibility.
