Google This! Hillary Clinton & Syrian Regime-Change Conspiracy

March 22, 2016 Neil Clark, www.rt.com Educate! Hillary Clinton, Syria

By Neil Clark for RT - If you’d have said a year ago that the US State Department, Google, and Al Jazeera had been collaborating in pursuance of regime change in Syria, chances are you’d have been casually dismissed as a ‘crank’ and a ‘conspiracy theorist’. Syria was a people’s uprising against a wicked genocidal Russian-backed dictator and the West had nothing to do with the bloodshed which engulfed the country. If you thought otherwise then you were considered an 'Assad apologist'.

Carnage In Syria Product Of US Empowerment Of Saudi Arabia

By Vijay Prashad and Paul Jay for The Real News - Vijay Prashad and Paul Jay discuss the demands Americans can make of the US government to create a cessation of hostilities

US Planned Regime Change Of ‘Too Left’ Syrian Gov’t

February 11, 2016 Stephen Gowans, www.gowans.wordpress.com Educate! Arab Spring, Regime Change, Syria

By Stephen Gowans for What's Left - Documents prepared by US Congress researchers as early as 2005 revealed that the US government was actively weighing regime change in Syria long before the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011, challenging the view that US support for the Syrian rebels is based on allegiance to a “democratic uprising” and showing that it is simply an extension of a long-standing policy of seeking to topple the government in Damascus. Indeed, the researchers made clear that the US government’s motivation to overthrow the government of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is unrelated to democracy promotion in the Middle East.

Newsletter: Why Protests Will Continue To Grow

By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers for Popular Resistance. This week the reason that there are a growing protest movement and growing disenchantment with government was put on display. The divergence between government and reality was thrust in our faces. The entire government came together, Members of Congress, the Cabinet, military leaders, the Supreme Court, Vice President and President (minus the 'selected survivor' in case the Capitol was attacked, the head of Homeland Security) to hear the State of the Union. The choreographed self-praise of people who will spend $5 billion this year of mostly big business money to get re-elected was evident from the moment the door was opened. Hugs and kisses, backslapping all around, required applause as the President approached the podium, more staged applause when he was introduced and then, as if they were trained, dozens of standing ovations on cue – 89 times in a 58-minute speech the President was applauded.

The Real State Of The Union

January 13, 2016 David Swanson, www.telesurtv.net Educate! Climate Change, militarism, Obama, Syria, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

By David Swanson for Tele Sur - Obama said the U.S. is number one in the fight against climate change, when in reality the United States is by far the worst offender. President Barack Obama used his final State of the Union speech to claim that, "America is leading the fight against climate change," while in reality the United States is far and away the worst offender, per capita, in the ongoing mad race to render the earth's climate uninhabitable. We "cut our imports of foreign oil," Obama brags, as if earth cares what flag its pollution belches into the air under. "Gas under two bucks a gallon ain't bad," said the President, wildly missing the mark. Yes, it is bad, if you're trying to preserve a livable planet, not just win cheap applause.

Guess How Many Bombs America Dropped In 2015

January 12, 2016 Micah Zenko, www.nationalinterest.org Educate! Drones, Iraq, Middle East, Syria, Wars and Militarism

Micah Zenko for The National Interest. United States - The primary focus—meaning the commitment of personnel, resources, and senior leaders’ attention—of U.S. counterterrorism policies is the capture or killing (though, overwhelmingly killing) of existing terrorists. Far less money and programmatic attention is dedicated to preventing the emergence of new terrorists. As an anecdotal example of this, I often ask U.S. government officials and mid-level staffers, “What are you doing to prevent a neutral person from becoming a terrorist?”

Syria Is The Middle Eastern Stalingrad

January 6, 2016 Andre Vltchek, www.dissidentvoice.org Educate! Imperialism, ISIS, NATO, Syria, US Empire, Wars and Militarism

By Andre Vltchek for Dissident Voice - Day and night, for years, an overwhelming force has been battering this quiet nation, one of the cradles of human civilization. Hundreds of thousands have died, and millions have been forced to flee abroad or have been internally displaced. In many cities and villages, not one house is left intact. But Syria is, against all odds, still standing. During the last 3 years I worked in almost all of Syria’s perimeters, exposing the birth of ISIS in the NATO-run camps built in Turkey and Jordan.

US Regime Change Madness Even Too Much For Pentagon

January 6, 2016 Gareth Porter, www.middleeasteye.net Educate! Syria, US Empire, Wars and Militarism

By Gareth Porter for Middle East Eye - Seymour Hersh’s recent revelations about an effort by the US military leadership in 2013 to bolster the Syrian army against jihadist forces in Syria shed important new light on the internal bureaucratic politics surrounding regime change in US Middle East policy. Hersh’s account makes it clear that the Obama administration’s policy of regime change in both Libya and Syria provoked pushback from the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). That account and another report on a similar episode in 2011 suggest that the US military has a range of means by which it can oppose administration policies that it regards as unacceptable.

By Dennis Trainor, Jr. for Acroynm TV. Dennis Trainor, Jr. or Acroynm TV takes a look back on some of the biggest stories of 2015 including what to do about the threat of ISIS abroad and what to think of the San Bernardino mass shooting at home; from the unlikely rise of a socialist Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont and the ugly reality of real estate mogul Donald Trump’s appeal; his stint working with Jill Stein, #BlackLivesMatter puts a focus on racism at universities, the cost of Manifest Destiny's Child, American Empire, in Syria and the Middle East, what could we do without all of that spending on the military?

Governance Without Hierarchy, Patriarchy Or Capitalism

December 20, 2015 Akbar Shahid Ahmed, www.huffingtonpost.com Create! Capitalism, Democracy, Kurds, Syria

By Akbar Shahid Ahmed for Huffington Post. ISTANBUL -- Last fall, Islamic State fighters launched a coordinated, large-scale assault on the Kurdish town of Kobani on Syria's northern border with Turkey. Fresh from victories that granted them an aura of invincibility, the extremists were about to remove the single irritant on a wide swath of the border they otherwise controlled. The world watched in resignation. The lone superpower said it would not help. U.S. officials grimly predicted the city would fall. Yet the small band of Kurds held on for days, then weeks. The U.S.-led coalition against the self-described Islamic State began to help, first with a smattering of airstrikes then with daily assaults.

Vietnamese Boat People Raise Money To Help Syrian Refugees

December 7, 2015 Staff, www.cbc.ca Create! Refugees, Syria, Vietnam

By Staff of CBC News - Calgary's Vietnamese community is coming together to help welcome and support the wave of refugees coming from war-torn Syria. Organizers put on a fundraising dinner at a local Vietnamese restaurant and held a silent auction Thursday night. Their goal was to raise $10,000 to help settle the refugees. Hundreds of thousands of people fled or were expelled from Vietnam after the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, with approximately 60,000 eventually reaching Canada. Those who came by boat became known as the Boat People.

The Quiet Opponents: ‘I Didn’t Protest But I’m Against Airstrikes On Syria’

December 6, 2015 Carmen Fishwick, www.theguardian.com Resist! Syria, Wars and Militarism

By Carmen Fishwick for the Guardian. We asked Guardian readers how they would vote, if asked, on UK airstrikes in Syria. Overwhelmingly, and perhaps unsurprisingly, they were against military action. But many decided against going out to protest. Res, from Birmingham, is unconvinced by the case for military action in Syria, but does not believe in protest. “There needs to be a moral and a practical case made for military action. The moral case is clear: Isis should be destroyed. But the practical case is inadequate. Airstrikes mean killing innocents, and inciting reprisals that against our own citizens,” he told the Guardian. Acts of protest are visual expressions of discontent. They are a way of venting frustration, even if you know your pleas will not bring immediate change. But, by their nature, protests tend to exclude large groups of people, most often taking place outside, in crowds, and in large towns and cities. And they can require a level of personal confidence, money to travel, and attendance is made easier by being connected to relevant groups.

Cameron Calls Opponents Of Bombing ‘Terrorist Sympathizers’

December 3, 2015 Jon Stone, www.independent.co.uk Educate! Propaganda, Syria, United States

By Jon Stone for Independent - David Cameron has refused to apologise after branding MPs who oppose air strikes in Syria “terrorist sympathisers”. The Prime Minister faced repeated interventions from MPs during a House of Commons debate on military action demanding that he retract the attack. Mr Cameron reportedly last night told rebel Conservative MPs that they might be set to “walk through the lobbies with Jeremy Corbyn and a bunch of terrorist sympathisers”. But today he did not acknowledge requests in parlaiment to withdraw the comments, even from pro-intervention MPs.

By Shehab Khan for Independent - Thousands of people have taken to the streets of London to protest against Britain joining the bombing campaign against Isis in Syria. The demonstration was one of many across the country organised by the Stop The War Coalition protest movement. Many famous faces were present as actor Mark Rylance and musician Brian Eno handed a letter to Downing Street urging David Cameron not to bomb Syria

Occupy London May Regroup If Britain Decides To Bomb Syria

November 29, 2015 Katie Grant, www.independent.co.uk Resist! London, Occupy, Syria

By Katie Grant for the Independent. One of Britain’s most iconic buildings, St Paul’s Cathedral, attracts swathes of tourists every year. But in October 2011, thousands of people descended on the site as part of a peaceful protest, organised by Occupy London, to take a stand against corporategreed. The protesters transformed the area into a sea of tents. Almost four years on, the Occupy network is still going strong. “We’re still alive and kicking. There are upwards of 100 of us involved.” They campaign on issues such as climate change, fracking, the NHS and housing. In 2013, the group’s occupation of a London library saved it from closure. “The more connection we can make with ordinary folk to show activism can work for the benefit of the community, the better,” said Ms Beech. She is also concerned about the prospect of UK air strikes on Syria. “There’s nothing to say people wouldn’t regroup if something happened,” she said.
