Refuting President Obama’s Lies, Omissions, and Distortions

A common vision: The abolition of militarism
We cannot here in Sarajevo make a common peace programme, but we can commit to a common goal. If our common dream is a world without weapons and militarism, why don’t we say so? Why be silent about it? It would make a world of difference if we refused to be ambivalent about the violence of militarism. We should no longer be making scattered attempts to modify the military, each one of us would do our thing as part of a global effort. Across all divisions of national borders, religions, races. We must be an alternative, insisting on an end to militarism and violence.

Obama’s Foreign Policy Rhetoric Does Not Match US Actions
President Obama’s recent foreign policy speech, delivered at this year’s West Point graduation ceremony, was a disappointment to anyone who hoped the president might be changing course.

Washington’s Iron Curtain in Ukraine
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry led the chorus of self-righteous indignation, accusing Russia of the sort of thing his own government is in the habit of doing. “You just don’t invade another country on phony pretext in order to assert your interests. This is an act of aggression that is completely trumped up in terms of its pretext”, Kerry pontificated. “It’s really 19th century behavior in the 21st century”. Instead of laughing at this hypocrisy, U.S. media, politicians and punditry zealously took up the theme of Putin’s unacceptable expansionist aggression.

Bowe Bergdahl and the Moral Rot of American Exceptionalism
By Winston Warfield | CounterPunch | June 6, 2014
“The future is too good to waste on lies,” Bowe wrote. “And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong. I have seen their ideas and I am ashamed to even be american (sic). The horror of the self-righteous arrogance that they thrive in. It is all revolting.”

Northerntruthseeker Rant For Sunday, June 8th, 2014
Sunday, and again it does seem that I have so much to catch up on....

Bleeding Syria and other notes
After running around all morning, including a fascinating meeting with the affable manager of Syrian TV (I will interview him later) one of the prime news presenters, quite a bit of walking, and catching up with the owner of the Bab Sharqi hotel where I’m staying, the bus ride from the old city to city centre is actually a relief. It’s largely not crowded when I get on, and while hot from the day’s searing heat when moving wafts of less-hot air help. Best, Fairouz is playing the entire 45 minute ride.
