Amnesty: Hundreds of Iraqi Civilians Killed in U.S. Airstrikes After Being Told Not to Flee Mosul | Democracy Now!
The Iraq War started 14 years ago this month, and it is showing no signs
of letting up. Since President Trump took office, the U.S. military has
expanded its aerial bombing campaign
targeting areas held by the Islamic State. The Air Force Times is
reporting U.S.-backed military aircraft have dropped over 2,000 bombs on
the ISIS-held city of Mosul so far this month. According to Airwars,
almost 1,500 civilians have reportedly been killed in U.S. airstrikes in
Iraq and Syria this month alone. On March 17, a U.S. airstrike in Mosul
reportedly killed up to 200 civilians. Meanwhile, Amnesty International
is reporting that hundreds of Iraqi civilians have been killed by
U.S.-led airstrikes inside their homes or in places where they sought
refuge following Iraqi government advice not to leave during the
offensive to recapture the city of Mosul. We speak to Donatella Rovera,
senior crisis response adviser at Amnesty International.

| SAN FRANCISCO
When
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange disclosed earlier this month that his
anti-secrecy group had obtained CIA tools for hacking into technology
products made by U.S. companies, security engineers at Cisco Systems (CSCO.O) swung into action. The
Wikileaks documents described how the Central Intelligence Agency had
learned more than a year ago how to exploit flaws in Cisco's widely used
Internet switches, which direct electronic traffic, to enable
eavesdropping.
Senior Cisco
managers immediately reassigned staff from other projects to figure out
how the CIA hacking tricks worked, so they could help customers patch
their systems and prevent criminal hackers or spies from using the same
methods, three employees told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
The
Cisco engineers worked around the clock for days to analyze the means
of attack, create fixes, and craft a stopgap warning about a security
risk affecting more than 300 different products, said the employees, who
had direct knowledge of the effort.

Noam Chomsky: If Trump Falters with Supporters, Don't Put 'Aside the Possibility' of a 'Staged or Alleged Terrorist Attack' | Alternet
I
am glad to see I'm not the only one perturbed by Noam Chomsky's recent
interview in which he warns that Donald Trump could engineer a
false-flag terror attack to change the political environment in the US to bolster his powers and allow for greater repression.
Chomsky has been one of the most prominent disparagers of those
attempting to investigate whether either the 9/11 attacks were a
false-flag operation or the Bush administration effectively allowed the
attack to be carried out to advance its interests at home and abroad.
One doesn't need to be convinced that Bush-Cheney or the US security
services were implicated in 9/11 to see that there is a deep problem
with Chomsky adopting his new position. He has previously suggested in
different places both that a major false-flag operation in the US would
be almost impossible to conceal and that it is a waste of the left's
energies, and its credibility, to indulge in this kind of speculation.
That was at least a plausible position for him to adopt. But it is
entirely inconsistent with his new position that we should expect Trump
to carry out a false-flag operation and even accuse him of intending to
do so before it occurs.
Abby Martin has tweeted of the interview:
"Media ruins anyone even pondering if Bush & co knew & allowed
9/11 – yet suggesting Trump could *carry out* a false flag is totally
acceptable".

"(...) There is another fundamental problem, and that is the false sense
of security engendered by the belief that the US and her allies are
protected by an impenetrable ABM shield. It is a dangerous perception
that is likely to lead to military doctrines that could will have
catastrophic consequences. Circumventing the concept of MAD, thanks to
ABM defense, remains a dream for any
nuclear power. But actively pursuing this strategy, while at the same
time threatening a nuclear power in the hope of shielding one’s
territory from a nuclear exchange, seems like a suicidal strategy rather
than a well-considered military doctrine. Increasingly, the idea of a
perfectly working ABM system capable of intercepting an ICBM is
spreading in the US military, thanks to think-tanks funded by the same
manufacturers of these systems. There could probably be no more a deadly
and mistaken belief."

CNA
Washington DC (CNA).- The current political situation in
Catalonia raises interest among US congressmen. This is what Catalan
President, Carles Puigdemont, observed this Tuesday during his official
trip to the US. Although the names of the congressmen were not made
public beforehand to prevent possible obstructions from the Spanish
diplomacy, Puigdemont met with two Republican and one Democrat to
discuss Catalonia’s pro-independence aspirations. He
denied having asked for their support in the event of Catalonia’s
independence but he assured that the information he gave them will allow
them to “take a stance” in the conflict between Catalonia and Spain.
Puigdemont, who refused to give further details on the content of the
conversations, admitted being “satisfied” with having the chance to
“explain himself” and “answer the congressmen’s questions and doubts.
Conference at Harvard
On Monday, Puigdemont addressed the Center for European Studies (CES)
at the Harvard Kennedy School and give the conference ‘Catalonia, Today
and Tomorrow’, his analysis of Catalonia’s current political situation
and its place within the EU. “Our struggle is a reflection of the fight
for American civil rights.” he said during the conference “Catalonia,
Today, Tomorrow, comparing Catalonia's pro-independence process to the
US civil rights movement in his”. However, in contrast with American
institutions which “have respected democracy and the will of its people
to adapt over time”.
Puigdemont lamented Spain's refusal to open a dialogue and agree on a
referendum so that Catalans can decide their political future. “We are
convinced that this is the best option,” he said but pointed out that
“up to now it has been impossible, due the Spanish Government’s
absolutely steadfast refusal to discuss it”. However, he warned,
“Catalonia will hold the referendum in any case.”
The visit continues in New York
This Wednesday, Puigdemont is expected to sign a collaboration
agreement on urban development between Incasòl, the Catalan Government's
subsidiary that manages public land throughout Catalonia, and the
Wilson Center, one of the most influential think tanks in the world.
He will finish his official trip in New York, where he is will explore future collaboration with the Jewish Museum.
Later, he will visit FC Barcelona’s new office in the city and will
finish his trip by visiting Europastry’s new plant in New Brunswick. The
Catalan family-owned business, founded in 1987, is Spain’s leader in
the frozen dough sector and the fifth most important in the world, with
3200 employees in its existing Long Island plant in addition to the 250
it has added in New Brunswick.

Israel's Heavy Hand In Syria's Civil War
Israel's Heavy Hand In Syria's Civil War
When Israel conquered the Golan in 1967, it launched a 50-year
occupation of the Syrian Golan in which tens of thousands of Syrian
Druze lived. Though an armistice line now separates the Druze in Syrian
and Israeli-occupied zones, both communities are deeply intertwined.
The sense of solidarity now, in the midst of a raging civil war, is no
different than Diaspora Jews felt in 1967 before the war broke out.
Millions rallied around the world concerned about Israel’s fate. Now
the Druze in Israeli-held Golan are fearful for the fates of their
brothers and sisters.
Israel claims, falsely, that it is neutral in the Syrian civil war.
Unfortunately, the world media are taken in by this charade. Israel
intervenes regularly on behalf of the Syrian Islamist rebels. The UN
observed the IDF unloading supplies in boxes at the armistice fence,
which were then picked up by Islamist fighters. Al Monitor even
reported that the IDF shells government positions inside Syria. The
Israelis meet regularly with al-Nusra commanders (who are affiliated
with al-Qaeda) to offer intelligence. A Syrian Druze videotaped one
such meeting, which was aired on Syrian TV. He was promptly secretly
arrested by the Shabak. The Israeli media was forbidden from reporting
his name, Sedki al-Maket, thanks to a security gag order (I was the only
journalist outside Syria who reported his name and story).
Israeli TV reported
that Israel has built a camp for Syrian army deserters in Israeli
occupied Golan. Israel has also bombed Hezbollah and Iranian convoys
inside Syria carrying advanced weaponry meant for the Lebanese front. It
has assassinated several senior Iranian generals and Hezbollah
commanders on Syrian soil as well. It opposes Assad not so much for
political or ideological reasons, but because the regime’s chief allies
are Israel’s arch-nemeses, Iran and Hezbollah.

Speaking to 'Going Underground' host Afshin Rattansi, Assange referred to the chapter on Syria, which goes back to 2006. In that chapter is a cable from US Ambassador William Roebuck, who was stationed in Damascus, which apparently discusses a plan for the overthrow of the Assad government in Syria.

White Helmets Movie: Updated Evidence From Swedish Doctors Confirm Fake ‘Lifesaving’ and Malpractices on Children - TruePublica
Summary. This article reports updated findings I
obtained in a further examination of videos published by the White
Helmets, and which aimed to represent consequences of an alleged gas
attack in Sarmine in March 2015 [See my first report of March 6, 2017]. [1] The videos depict a medical rescuing scenario focused on ‘lifesaving’ procedures on children.
The new findings, which have also
been confirmed in second-opinions issued by MD specialists and members
of Swedish Doctors for Human Rights (SWEDHR) on March 12, 2017, a)
demonstrate that the main highlighted ‘life-saving‘ procedure on the
