Gaza drowning …and under power and media blackout

Eva Bartlett

Photos and updates from Gaza paint one of the most dire scenarios the Palestinians locked in the Strip have faced, Israeli bombing campaigns aside.

For over a month Palestinians in Gaza have endured 18 or more hours/day power outages. Now, with unusually heavy rains, cold temperatures, Israeli-released torrents of water (suddenly opening of dams along the border with Gaza), and even snow, Gaza is under water, under siege, and people are suffering freezing conditions. According on one international in Gaza, a baby has frozen to death in one of Gaza’s refugee camps.


Washington's Dirty Game in Ukraine

Stephen Lendman

Weeks of Ukraine street protests continue. Washington's dirty hands are involved. They're manipulating things disruptively. Imperial ruthlessness operates this way. International law is clear and unequivocal. Meddling in the internal affairs of other countries is illegal. Doing so is longstanding US policy.

It's to eliminate independent sovereign states. It's about replacing them with pro-Western vassal ones.
It's about weakening major rivals. It aims to eliminate them altogether if possible. It's for unchallenged global dominance.
It's to make the world safe for corporate American profiteers.

John Perkins was an "economic hit man." He explained, saying:

"(H)ighly paid professionals cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. They funnel money from the World Bank, (IMF, and other international lending agencies, as well as) other foreign aid organizations into the coffers of huge corporations and the pockets of a few wealthy families who control the planet's natural resources. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder. They play a game as old as empire, but one that has taken on new and terrifying dimensions during this time of globalization."

Their mandate is plundering nations for profit. It's controlling their resources. It's impoverishing and bankrupting them. It's trapping them debt bondage. Nations refusing terms face major reprisals. Washington stops at nothing to achieve [its] goals. Tactics include bullying, intimidation, punishing sanctions, assassinations, coups and lawless aggression.


Ukraine: NATO’s Eastern Prize

Wayne Madsen

Photo: An intense NATO propaganda is under way in Ukraine. On 16-17 June there was a NATO-Ukraine summit in Kiev. On the same date, there was a Paul MacCartney concert, "free", of course. In this way, a former Beatle is acting as a cultural rep of Nato ambitions in Ukraine. These ambitions are aimed, of course, against Russia. Meanwhile, a "philosopher" of Organization of Marxists, in Ukraine, by the name of Alexander Budilo, maintains that Ukraine has no other way but to join the Nato. In this way, the OM (Organization of Marxists) reveals itself as a rep of imperialist forces. Fuck them! (Fractal-Vortex)

Ever since the democracy manipulation efforts of international hedge fund brigand George Soros were joined with the artificial street revolution tactics of CIA tactician Gene Sharp to form the core strategy of the U.S. neo-conservative goal of imposing a «New American Century» on the entire world, Ukraine has served as the prize of America’s interventionist foreign policy. And the neocons are still alive and active as ever inside Secretary of State John Kerry's State Department.

In the wake of what has been called the «Orange Revolution II» in Ukraine, Kerry's Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, Victoria Nuland, who previously served as Hillary Clinton's State Department mouthpiece, threatened sanctions against Ukraine’s government led by President Viktor Yanukovych. Gazing over protesters in central Kyiv from his hotel window, Arizona’s fanatical Republican Senator John McCain was licking his chops over the prospect of an anti-Russian Ukraine coming into being. McCain is a Cold War throwback and someone who remains mentally-unbalanced between flashbacks from a prisoner of war cell in Hanoi and to present-day reality.

Ukraine, which resisted efforts by the European Union to integrate it into Europe's banker-led federation of austerity and poverty, came into the EU's cross hairs after it abandoned an «Association Agreement» pact with the EU. Instead, Kyiv opted for a more lucrative economic union with Russia. That move triggered off a mass street uprising in Kyiv's Maidan (Independence) Square that demanded the resignation of Ukraine's democratically-elected President and government.
