Iraq/Syria: HPG releases names of 5 killed in Turkish sarin gas attack

HPG released the names of their five members who died in a Turkish army poison gas attack in Werxelê a week ago. In an obituary for the martyrs, the guerrilla organization announces retaliation. By VT Editors  VT: Just as when Saddam used poison gas killing tens of thousands of Kurds on March 16, 1988…covered up by the Bush 41 administration…Turkish along with White Helmet gas attacks, all tied to the Republic of Georgia, Romania, Ukraine and Azerbaijan are happening all over the region…against the Kurds, the Syrians, the Armenians and any enemies of the Freemason alliance between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Israel and neo-Nazi elements in Europe.

Iraq issues arrests warrants for all attendees of ‘Israel’ normalization conference

The temple of cooperation in Iraq is being attacked at its foundation It looks like the Abraham Accords political machine has been busy By Jim W. Dean, …from France 24 [ Editor’s Note: Big trouble is brewing in Iraq with this Kurdistan conference making a move toward normalization with Israel, which I would bet has gotten approval from a number of regional powers beforehand. It looks like the Abraham Accords political machine has been busy setting up the flanking move on Iraq. And of course the Israelis have Palestine locked down, and freeing its occupants is not on the table for ‘moving forward’. I would suspect rounding these 300 up now would be a difficult task, and also crank up tension with Kurdistan continuing inside the Iraqi government. This eve...

Does U.S. pledge to cease ‘combat operations’ in Iraq really mean the end of occupation?

Sameena Rahman Download PDF flyer President Biden and Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi announced July 26 that combat operations by U.S. troops in Iraq would cease by the end of the year. The Biden administration did not state how many troops will be left at the year’s end. 2,500 U.S. soldiers are currently in the country despite widespread opposition among the Iraqi public and a resolution passed last year by the Iraqi parliament demanding a withdrawal. Questions remain about the details of this agreement, including to what extent it will actually end U.S. involvement in the country. Prime Minister Kadhimi told reporters that his country no longer needs combat troops, but that he plans to continue to work with the United States for training and intelligence gathering t...

Rehabilitating Rumsfeld, Erasing Empire: On All Those U.S. War Crimes in Iraq

BY ANTHONY DIMAGGIO Photograph Source: Helene C. Stikkel – Public Domain Former Bush Administration Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s death was accompanied by many of the apologies for state crimes that we’ve come to expect from the worshippers of U.S. militarism. This includes those emanating from journalistic elites – The New York Times being the most obvious case in point. The paper’s profile on Rumsfeld’s life reflects that “he was widely regarded” as “the most powerful defense secretary since Robert S. McNamara during the Vietnam War.” The paper weighs in on Rumsfeld’s management of the war in Iraq, which the paper deemed “A costly and divisive war that ultimately destroyed his political life and outlived his tenure by many years. But unlike McNa...

Rumsfeld Was Not “Controversial.” He Played a Leading Role in Mass Murder.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld prepares to testify before the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on February 17, 2005. BYWilliam Rivers Pitt, Truthout When word came down yesterday that former Defense Secretary and brazen orchestrator of mass death Donald Rumsfeld had shuffled loose the mortal coil at age 88, CNN and the other networks began to do their standard back-and-fill exercises to shore up the fiction while burying the truth after a genuine monster drops dead. “Controversial,” they called Rumsfeld, while showing footage of him scurrying around the wreckage after the Pentagon attack on September 11. “I think that’s what we’ll all remember,” said one talking head of those images. Not if I have anything to say about it. ...

The War Crimes Case Against Donald Rumsfeld

BY MICHAEL RATNER Photograph Source: U.S. Navy Photo by Photographer’s Mate 2nd Class Bob Houlihan – Public Domain Editors’ Note: With news of the belated death of Donald Rumsfeld, it’s vital that his true legacy of villainy be recalled. In the name of setting the historical record straight, here’s the late great Michael Ratner, making the unimpeachable case against Rumsfeld for his war crimes in Iraq.  On November 14, 2006 the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), the International Federation for Human Rights, Germany’s Republican Attorneys’ Association, and other groups and individuals filed a formal complaint with the German Federal Prosecutor to open an investigation and, ultimately, a criminal prosecution of former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and o...

Rumsfeld on Iraq’s WMDs, 2003

BY JEFFREY ST. CLAIR Photograph Source: Helene C. Stikkel – Public Domain Donald Rumsfeld fancied himself a dark genius, the McNamara of the neo-cons. But he was really a rather conventional thinker with a plodding, sententious rhetorical style that some mistook for sagacity. In reality, Rumseld had mastered one parlor trick, which was his ability to seduce that most credulous of species, the national security reporter. Rumsfeld made many of them believe that the knowns were unknown and the unknowns were known. In swallowing his deceptions, the press helped him kill, maim and torture 100,000s of innocent people. They’ll try to rewrite his story and their part in it, but history will speak for itself and the more they try to suppress it the more fiercely it will reassert itself. ...
