“I don’t know how many people I’ve killed,” says US drone...

Launched under George W. Bush in 2002, drone warfare is part of the explosion of American militarism aimed at establishing US global hegemony. That drone strikes constitute war crimes under international law has not slowed their pace. Far from it. The British human rights organization, Reprieve, currently estimates the “US has used drones to execute without trial some 4,700 people––that we know of.”

Syrian fighting intensifies

Syrian fighters and helicopters carried out airstrikes against eastern Aleppo, where Russia had maintained a suspension of all air operations for the past month. Russia, meanwhile, confirmed that it had conducted bombing runs and missile strikes for the first time from the war fleet it has positioned off the Syrian coast in the eastern Mediterranean.

The unthinkable is only unthinkable until it happens. Then, like the sack of Rome, it can seem historically inevitable. So it is with the global political earthquake that is the election of Donald Trump as the next president of the United States.

Consideran a Almagro como el mejor representante de Washington en la OEA” y ahora “está pisando la soberanía de Bolivia tratando de intervenir en un proceso judicial contra una red capitalista que ha cometido fraudes en muchos fondos que manejaba a partir de la pseudofundación”, dijo el sociólogo norteamericano James Petras en CX36

A more dangerous world is probably coming after the US election!

Inside The Invisible Government: War, Propaganda, CLINTON & TRUMP

Some may remember in 2003 a succession of BBC reporters turning to the camera and telling us that Blair was "vindicated" for what turned out to be the crime of the century. The US television networks produced the same validation for George W. Bush. Fox News brought on Henry Kissinger to effuse over Colin Powell's fabrications.

Putin urges new Marshall Plan for Middle East

Russia has offered that and is offering it to all of its partners," Putin said at a meeting of the Valdai international discussion club.
