Man with a conscience in the US Senate? Who woulda thought, eh?
From Global Research US Has Established 17 Illegal Military Bases in Syria: State Senator Richard H. Black Virginia State senator Richard H. Black has made
it clear that the United States makes trade between Iran and Syria more
difficult by occupying the north of the Euphrates River in accordance
with ‘Plan B’ announced several years ago by Secretary of State John
Kerry. He told the Syriatimes e-newspaper that The U.S. has attempted to
block routes between the countries wherever possible and it has
established 17 bases in Syria without the slightest lawful justification
for doing so.
“The United States has established a semi-autonomous
region dominated by Syrian Kurds to control the region. Since Kurds make
up only 20% of the area’s population, allowing them to dominate the
region creates a political unstable situation; the much larger Arabic
population is almost certain to take up arms to avoid falling under the
domination of the Kurdish minority. This creates a situation where
ethnic violence provides justification for the U.S. to remain in the
area indefinitely, since the United States has announced its intention
to prevent the resurgence of ISIS. The reemergence of violence in the
area would likely be attributed to ISIS and used as a pretext for
continued occupation,” the senator said.
U.S. refuses to publicize barbaric nature of its premier “moderate rebel” group Asked about the US use of internationally banned weapons in attacking areas in the north of Syria, Sen. Black replied:
“There are reports that the U.S. has used cluster bombs
and white phosphorus in Syria. The U.S. has denied those allegations.
Meanwhile, the U.S. led coalition repeatedly complains about the use of
so-called “barrel bombs” by Syria. It is not clear what the distinction
is between a barrel containing explosives and shrapnel and a 15,000
pound “bunker-busting” bomb that hurls razor-sharp shrapnel great
distances.”
He pointed out that during his recent visit to Syria [in September
2018] he entered a building that contained “barrel rockets” that were
manufactured by the terrorists who were driven from Aleppo.
“Some people claim that “barrel bombs” should be illegal
because they are not precision-guided. The “barrel rockets” were fired
by terrorists into random civilian areas for the sole purpose of killing
innocent people. I have not heard any of Syria’s military opponents
complaining about the use of “barrel rockets” by the terrorists. In
fact, the west has never complained about any legal violations by
terrorists that they support,” the Senator stated.
He made it clear that the United States refuses to publicize the
barbaric nature of it’s premier “moderate rebel” group [the Free Syrian
Army], and its constant cooperation with terror forces like al Nusra and
ISIS.
“We know, for example, that the Free Syrian Army
frequently beheads and mutilates captives. We know they have
cannibalized soldiers in battle. We know that they have thrown postal
workers from municipal buildings to their death. Within the last several
weeks, the Free Syrian Army distributed a video depicting one of its
soldiers carrying out an “honor killing” of his own sister by machine
gunning her to death,” the Senator said.
He indicated that he traveled five hours from Damascus to Aleppo on his trip to Syria this September......
Those whose fortunes grow by billions by keeping USA and Russia as constant enemies, that's who.
Paul Craig Roberts at his blog The Two Superpowers: Who Really Controls the Two Countries? Among the ruling interests in the US, one interest even more powerful than the Israel Lobby—the Deep State of the military/security complex— there is enormous fear that an uncontrollable President Trump at the upcoming Putin/Trump summit will make an agreement that will bring to an end the demonizing of Russia that serves to protect the enormous budget and power of the military-security complex.
You can see the Deep State’s fear in the editorials that the Deep State handed to the Washington Post (June 29) and New York Times (June 29), two of the Deep State’s megaphones, but no longer believed by the vast majority of the American people. The two editorials share the same points and phrases.
They repeat the disproven lies about Russia as if blatant, obvious lies are hard facts.
Both accuse President Trump of “kowtowing to the Kremlin.” Kowtowing, of course, is not a Donald Trump characteristic. But once again fact doesn’t get in the way of the propaganda spewed by the WaPo and NYT, two megaphones of Deep State lies.
The Deep State editorial handed to the WaPo reads: “THE REASONS for the tension between the United States and Russia are well-established. Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine, instigated a war in eastern Ukraine, intervened to save the dictatorship of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, interfered in the U.S. presidential election campaign to harm Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump, poisoned a former intelligence officer on British soil and continues to meddle in the elections of other democracies.”
The WaPo’s opening paragraph is a collection of all the blatant lies assembled by the Deep State for its Propaganda Ministry. There have been many books written about the CIA’s infiltration of the US media. There is no doubt about it. I remember my orientation as Staff Associate, House Defense Appropriation Subcommittee, when I was informed that the Washington Post is a CIA asset. This was in 1975. Today the Post is owned by a person with government contracts that many believe sustain his front business......

ongoing disastrous war on the poorest of the poor in the Middle East.
Knowing how the West's MSM is controlled by 6 corporations within which 6 corporations there are 232 media executives all coordinating with each on how much and which flavor to feed the masses - this move by the New York Times seems quite strange, to say the least.
Notice how the individual journalist(s) are reluctant to put their name(s) to the article and the item is attributed to the "Editorial Board" - that's because any averse opinion aimed at warmongers in America or aimed at Israel or aimed at Trump's new buddies the headchoppers of Saudi Arabia, would mean loss of livelihood if not death. By The Editorial Board Why Are American Troops in the Yemen War?
The Pentagon and the Trump administration apparently have misled Americans about growing military involvement in a war in Yemen that we should have nothing to do with.
In the latest expansion of America’s secret wars, about a dozen Army commandos have been on Saudi Arabia’s border with Yemen since late last year, according to an exclusive report by The Times. The commandos are helping to locate and destroy missiles and launch sites used by indigenous Houthi rebels in Yemen to attack Saudi cities.
This involvement puts the lie to Pentagon statements that American military aid to the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen is limited to aircraft refueling, logistics and intelligence, and is not related to combat.
When senators at a hearing in March demanded to know whether American troops were at risk of entering hostilities with the Houthis, Gen. Joseph Votel, head of the Central Command, assured them, “We’re not parties to this conflict.”
In at least 14 countries, American troops are fighting extremist groups that are professed enemies of the United States or are connected, sometimes quite tenuously, to such militants. The Houthis pose no such threat to the United States. But they are backed by Iran, so the commandos’ deployment increases the risk that the United States could come into direct conflict with that country, a target of increasing ire from the administration, the Saudis and Israelis.
Such significant military decisions require public debate to force presidents and their generals to justify their decisions and be held accountable for the consequences. But checks and balances have eroded since Sept. 11, 2001, as ordinary Americans became indifferent to the country’s endless wars against terrorists and Congress largely abdicated its constitutional role to share responsibility with the president for sending troops into battle....
