The West is Responsible for Terrorism in Syria | Global Research - Centre for Research on Globalization

Syrian politician Fares Shehabi correctly identified the terrorists
as NATO/al Qaeda. He is correct. NATO’s al Qaeda/al Nusra Front
terrorists are responsible.

All of the death and destruction in
Syria is a direct result of the West’s criminal “regime change” military
operation. This has been amply proven.

The US and its allies including Canada are responsible for the murder of the two girls pictured below, and many others.

Capitalism and Communism - Two Methods To The Same Goal

When people think of alternatives to capitalism, they often can only

and communism have more in common that we think. And more importantly, perhaps it is time to move beyond these two archaic systems.

It was recently revealed that the

Is The OPCW Playing Politics In The Idlib Gas Attack Investigation?

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons claims to
have “incontrovertible” proof that sarin was used in a gas attack that

Symbolic Tribunal Finds Monsanto’s Actions Violate Global Food, Health and Environmental Rights

Monsanto also helped contribute to atomic bomb research and was one
of the several companies that produced Agent Orange, which caused half a
million Vietnamese children to be born
with deformities and poisoned over 3 million people. Agent Orange is
still used as a pesticide for genetically modified (GM) corn in the US.

After genetically modified crops were introduced in India by Monsanto
in 2002, poor Indian farmers became trapped in vicious debt cycles after
adopting GM seeds and herbicides. In 2009, the number of GM-debt
related suicides was so high that an Indian farmer was estimated to
commit suicide every 30 minutes.

Chemical Weapons Attack: French “Investigation” in Syria Neither Impartial nor Independent | Global Research - Centre for Research on Globalization

After
any crime, regardless of scale, a swift, impartial and independent
investigation is required if any accountability at all is desired. The
French government, in the wake of an alleged “chemical weapons attack”
near Syria’s northern city of Idlib, has claimed that it is “committed
to ensuring that the perpetrators of this heinous attack are held
accountable.”

The LA Times in an article titled, “Syrian chemical attack bears Assad’s signature, France says,” would report:

A six-page report by
French intelligence services claims the nerve agent came from hidden
stockpiles of chemical weapons that Damascus was supposed to have
destroyed under an U.S.- and Russian-brokered deal in 2013.

Were it the case that France was seriously committed to holding the
perpetrators of the alleged attack accountable, the French government
would need to call for an impartial, independent investigation into the
attack, and as soon as possible. Instead, it decided to carry out its
own “investigation,” ensuring neither impartiality nor independence, and
by consequence, achieving no accountability.

on whether people need to change their consumption habits (organic,

"You cannot,
in the end, change the consumption without changing the production. We
consume what the producers work night and day to get us to consume.
Capitalism developed an industry called advertising. They spend billions
and billions of dollars to shape, control and direct our consumption.
So therefore, if you want to do something about consumption you have to
change the production system or else all your efforts will be undone."

Quand un président erratique et peu soucieux d’apprendre tout ce

lorsque M. Donald Trump a ordonné à ses généraux de bombarder la Syrie
et d’engager des manœuvres navales en Asie, il a été ovationné par les
parlementaires américains, républicains et démocrates, ainsi que par la
quasi-totalité des médias, y compris en Europe.…

Un tel concert de louanges inquiète d’autant plus dans le climat
international actuel, lourd de tensions, que M. Trump adore être adulé.

It was triggered above all by the extremely good reporting of the SZ magazine of 15 December 2016. At that time it was about the "network of evil" at Facebook, the fire fighting practices and the working conditions at the Bertelsmann subsidiary Arvato, to which the censorship was outsourced. A few of my thoughts and hints have also flowed into it. "

With the Trump administration escalating its wars in Africa and the

years ahead, outpost by outpost and base by base.

The Final Stage of the Machiavellian Elites’ Takeover of America - Universal Empire - Truthdig

Editor’s note: This article is the fourth part of a four-part
series on Truthdig called “Universal Empire”—an examination of the
current stage of the neocon takeover of American policy that began after
World War ll. Read Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.

The recent assertion by the Trump White House
that Damascus and Moscow released “false narratives” to mislead the
world about the April 4 sarin gas attack in Khan Shaykhun, Syria, is a
dangerous next step in the “fake news” propaganda war launched in the
final days of the Obama administration. It is a step whose deep roots in
Communist Trotsky’s Fourth International must be understood before
deciding whether American democracy can be reclaimed.

Muddying the waters of accountability in a way not seen since Sen.
Joe McCarthy at the height of the Red Scare in the 1950s, the “Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act”
signed into law without fanfare by Obama in December 2016 officially
authorized a government censorship bureaucracy comparable only to George
Orwell’s fictional Ministry of Truth in his novel “1984.” Referred to
as “the Global Engagement Center,”
the official purpose of this new bureaucracy is to “recognize,
understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda
and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining United States national
security interests.” The real purpose of this Orwellian nightmare
is to cook the books on anything that challenges Washington’s
neoconservative pro-war narrative and to intimidate, harass or jail
anyone who tries. As has already been demonstrated by President Trump’s
firing of Tomahawk missiles at a Syrian government airbase, it is a
recipe for a world war, and like it or not, that war has already begun.

Britain 'Menaced' By Government As It Tumbles Down Press Freedom Index Again - TruePublica

By Graham Vanbergen
– Reporters Without Borders has openly stated that Britain is
approaching a ‘tipping point’ after the passage of the Investigatory
Powers Act as the UK slips to 40th place in press freedom rankings.

Think about that fact alone just for one minute and then think of the
implications to you personally. Out of 180 nations listed, Britain now
lies in 40th place in terms of freedom – of the press.

Slipping six places in just two years, Britain now ranks well behind
countries such as Chile, South Africa, Ghana, Uruguay, Czech Republic
and Surinam to name just a few. In the last five years since the
Conservatives took power Britain has slipped 12 places.

At the current trajectory of government policy and legislation
Britain will, by the end of the next parliament in 2022, have eased
itself to No52 behind Papua New Guinea, Tonga, and Botswana. Britain – a
once proud nation will be governed by those who will crush dissenting
voices.

BritanniaTitanic - "UK surveillance state more suited to dictatorship than a democracy" - TruePublica

By Graham Vanbergen
– Until the revelations of Edward Snowden emerged just a few years back
in 2013, British citizens had no idea as to the level of state
surveillance they were subjected to. The government, without due
process, debate or permission installed a massive taxpayer funded spying
system via its domestic agency GCHQ, to tap into internet cables and
build an enormous and detailed database of the communications of every
man, woman and child in the country with little to no legal oversight.
An ID system is no longer relevant, they have far more information than
an ID card could ever store.

GCHQ’s 360 degree full spectrum bulk
collection data system was constructed in brazen and arrogant defiance
of Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights. Britain’s
parliament never debated or approved this massive construction programme
as it would for any national infrastructure project. Every phone call,
no matter the device is recorded, every image, website visited, personal
details such as medical and financial records, contacts, everything
private to you is no longer private. Under just one of dozens of
surveillance programmes, one was called “Optic Nerve” that captured
millions of images via webcams, illegally taken and stored. An
undisclosed number, but estimated to be around one fifth of the
population were images that were “compromising in nature” including that
of naked young children in their homes and intimate images between
consenting adults. The government were found to have acted illegally for
17 years. These were crimes and no-one was prosecuted. The standard
response by government is the need for ‘national security’.

And let’s not forget, terrorism is fundamentally
a politically generated problem. Britain has been complicit in the
destruction of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and the ongoing crisis in Syria –
all of which are in now in total chaos and all of which are the real
breeding grounds for terrorism. No amount of internet surveillance on
our own people will deal with that but the British people are now paying
the price for that in more ways then one.
