NYT Propagandist Tom Friedman Gives Yellow Journalism a Bad Name by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) No responsible editor would touch his rubbish. The Times disgracefully features it – disinformation, Big Lies, and fake news its defining character, truth-telling banished from his propaganda pieces. He outrageously blamed Hamas for Israeli mass murder […]

Russia Had Nothing to Do with Downing MH17 by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Moscow is targeted with endless Big Lies, demonizing the country unjustly, Russiaphobia raging in America, Britain, other Western countries and putschist-run Ukraine, a fascist police state in Europe’s heartland. So-called Joint Investigation Team (JIT) member countries Australia and […]

NFL Ban on Anthem Kneeling Violates Free Expression by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) America’s First Amendment prohibits Congress from passing laws suppressing speech, press and religious freedoms – along with the right to peacefully assemble and petition government for redress of grievances. The same goes for NFL owners. Their announced policy […]

MH17 Downing Big Lie Resurfaces by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Russia had nothing to do with downing Malaysian Airlines MH17 on July 17, 2014 in eastern Ukraine airspace. The incident happened months after the US-staged February 2014 coup, replacing democracy in Ukraine with illegitimate Nazi-infested putschist rule. The so-called Joint Investigation […]

Trump’s North Korea/US Summit Pullout Reflects Imperial Arrogance by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Trump’s pullout is another example of why Washington can never be trusted – time and again agreeing to one thing, then doing something entirely different. Trump withdrawing from the JCPOA nuclear deal with Iran was the clearest example […]

Reactions to Trump’s North Korea/US Summit Pullout by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Hegemons don’t negotiate. They demand, wanting all nations bending to their will, offering nothing in return except empty promises. Washington operates this way, a rogue state waging war on humanity, bullying, pressuring, bribing, and otherwise forcing its will on […]

Trump Cancels North Korea/US Summit by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Coming weeks ahead of the scheduled summit alone surprised. Time and again it’s clear. Washington virtually never negotiates in good faith – or pre-negotiates, as the pullout shows. Rare exceptions prove the rule. If Kim Jong-un/Trump talks are held at a […]

Does Trump Regime Intend Full-Scale War on Syria? by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) In 2007 at San Francisco’s Commonwealth Club, former NATO commander General Wesley Clark said America underwent a post-9/11 transformation – his address on YouTube deleted.  A “policy coup” occurred, he said. With no public debate or acknowledgement, hardliners […]

Yulia Skripal’s Scripted Public Remarks by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Sergey and Yulia recovered enough from whatever harmed them to be released from hospitalization – clearly not a Novichok military-grade nerve agent as falsely claimed – able to cause death in minutes. Their whereabouts is unknown. They’re denied contact with Russia’s […]

PA Requests ICC Probe Israeli Crimes in the Occupied Territories by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Since the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) became effective in July 2002, victims of Western and Israeli imperialism alone were prosecuted – never the perpetrators. Around two-thirds of world nations are ICC members, […]
