US Wants Respite, Not Ceasefire in Syria

Tough negotiations between America and Russia’s top diplomats have managed to produce a tentative ceasefire plan for Syria. But Washington doesn’t really want a ceasefire. More likely, a respite for its regime-change proxies. After more than 13 hours of intense discussions in Geneva this weekend, on top of months of back-and-forth talks, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emerged in a joint […]

Dissecting the Propaganda on Syria

At the recent annual convention of Veterans for Peace, VFP Vice President Jerry Condon said “The U.S. peace movement has been demobilized by disinformation on Syria.” This disinformation and propaganda on Syria takes three distinct forms. The first is the demonization of the Syrian leadership. The second is the romanticization of the opposition. The third form involves attacking anyone questioning […]

“It’s Never As It Seems, Bubba”

We are required to unquestioningly praise the U.S. Military for keeping us free, and protecting us from the villains du jour, in spite of the fact that it is really nothing more than a band of merciless mercenaries, hired by Wall Street to rob, rape, and pillage the resources of other countries.

Is Owen Jones right that Jeremy Corbyn has the same policies as Ed Miliband?

In his now infamous July 2016 blog ‘Questions all Jeremy Corbyn supporters need to answer’, Guardian columnist Owen Jones argued Corbyn’s policies are pretty much the same as those of Ed Miliband’s Labour Party at the time of the May 2015 general election. “It seems as though Ed Miliband presented his policies as less left-wing than they actually were, and […]

Jay Dyer – Tragedy & Hope 6: World War 2 & the Cold War Symphony

Jay Dyer
21st Century Wire
Here, we pick up where part 5 left off in the long drudgery of World War 2. Hitler’s moves were coaxed by the western powers, leading to a new boogey man that would envelop the globe in a total re-engineering of order.
From a 3 bloc to a 2 bloc world, the “new war order” was like nothing before it, leading to the Cold War and the scientific dictatorship.

‘Propagandising For War’ – Gareth Porter Responds To The BBC Today Programme On Syria

A report published by the London School of Economics last month found extreme levels of bias in BBC reporting. The ‘impartial’ BBC’s early evening news was almost five times more likely to depict Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in a negative light. In the time period studied (September 1 – November 1, 2015), no headlines on this key news programme presented […]
