The hard truths about North Korea that Trump or Biden will have to confront

https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2020/09/03/the-hard-truths-north-korea-trump-biden-will-confront/ by: Dan DePetris Before President Obama departed the White House, he gave his successor, Donald Trump, some advice: pay attention to North Korea, because the reclusive nation will be your top national security priority. As one might expect, President Trump has tackled the North Korea file in his own distinct way. In a blink of an eye, the conventional tactics Washington used against Pyongyang over the previous 30 years were replaced with threats of war and the kind of spur-of-the-moment summitry only a TV journalist could love.Cutting through the mid-level bureaucrats and meeting directly with Kim Jong Un was quintessential Trump. The fact that much of the foreign policy establ...

How the recent Iran-IAEA agreement can save the nuclear deal

https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2020/09/02/how-the-recent-iran-iaea-agreement-can-save-the-nuclear-deal/ by: Julia Masterson Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency recently resolved a year and a half-long dispute over an Agency investigation into possible undeclared nuclear materials and activities. While this investigation is focused on accounting for past activities, Iran’s cooperation eliminates a key obstacle that may have impeded any potential return to full compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal. Their agreement, whereby Iran will provide the Agency with access to two locations that are not part of Iran’s declared nuclear program, demonstrates Tehran’s commitment to fulfilling its safeguards obligations under the deal. It is also an important ste...

Ending sanctions on Syria is meant to help the Syrian people, not Assad

by: Steven Simon Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin wrote on Thursday that his Syrian American contacts were concerned that I am part of the Biden campaign’s Middle East advisory team, seemingly because of a Foreign Affairs essay by Joshua Landis and me entitled, “The Pointless Cruelty of Syria Sanctions,” which Rogin mischaracterized as advocating for reducing U.S. pressure on the Assad government.Since Rogin pretty clearly had not closely read the piece, given that it did not simply propose relieving pressure on Bashar al-Assad, let me review the bidding. The argument laid out in considerable detail in the Foreign Affairs piece — and in a prior Quincy Institute paper, “Course Correction: Preventing State Collapse in Syria,” that I wrote — was ...

For years, journalists cheered Assange’s abuse. Now they’ve paved his path to a US gulag

Jonathan Cook writes: Court hearings in Britain over the US administration’s extradition case against Julian Assange begin in earnest next week. The decade-long saga that brought us to this point should appall anyone who cares about our increasingly fragile freedoms. A journalist and publisher has been deprived of his liberty for 10 years. According to UN experts, he has been arbitrarily detained and tortured for much of that time through intense physical confinement and endless psychological pressure. He has been bugged and spied on by the CIA during his time in political asylum, in Ecuador’s London embassy, in ways that violated his most fundamental legal rights. The judge overseeing his hearings has a serious conflict of interest – with her family embedded in the UK securit...

The Phoenix Program Comes Home to Roost

https://youtu.be/rWj0jNl2GdQ The system was tested in Vietnam thirty years ago, and perfected in Israel on the Palestinians, and is ready for application here and now. The Usual Suspects During the Vietnam War, under the CIA’s Phoenix Program –which is the model for the Homeland Security Office — a terrorist suspect was anyone accused by one anonymous source. Just one. The suspect was then arrested, indefinitely detained in a CIA interrogation center, and tortured until he or she (or in some cases children as young as twelve) confessed, informed on others, died, or was brought before a military tribunal (such as Bush is proposing) for disposition. Trump/Biden… Two Candidates Both Standing for War Party…The rest of the world knows already that neither “face” will make a di...

MKO terrorist leader threatens Albanian journalists

When Western countries are harboring 'useful' terrorist groups, they generally want them to be low profile, but the US is the exception By Jim W. Dean, Albanian journo challenges MKO ringleader to open debate, vows to keep exposing terrorists [ Editor’s Note: These two Albanian journalists writing about MKO, when it is under the full protection of the US and NATO, is a ballsy thing to do. They could be VT guys covering and saying what no one else will. We salute Olsi Jazexhi and Gjergji Thanasi. When Western countries are harboring ‘useful’ terrorist groups, they generally want them to be low profile. But the US is the exception, as Trump buddy Rudy Giuliani has been a big promoter of the group. US and Western media give them a free pass, so it was a surprise to see t...

It’s faster, easier and more effective to start a war using false flag terror

… by Preston James Traditionally, the business of starting wars has been a long arduous process of geopolitical and economic manipulations and numerous provocations. With the development of the War on Terror, it has become much faster and easier for the folks that really run things to start wars so they can make huge war profits and further expand and centralize the governments they control in order to gain even more totalitarian power. The idea of declaring a ongoing “forever war” with no end ever, against a single concept began with the War on Poverty under LBJ. This idea of fighting a war against a single concept has been further utilized to create a “War Against Drugs”, and now an unending “War on Terror”. How truly convenient this is for Military Industrial Cong...

Where was Osama bin Laden on September 11, 2001?

By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Author’s note The following article was first published 14 years ago on the 9th of September 2006, in the context of the 2006 commemoration of the tragic event of September 2001. *** “Going after bin Laden” has served to sustain the legend of the “world’s most wanted terrorist”, who “haunts Americans and millions of others around the world.” Donald Rumsfeld has repeatedly claimed that the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden remain unknown: “It is like looking for a needle in a stack of hay”. In November 2001, US B-52 bombers carpet bombed a network of caves in the Tora Bora mountains of eastern Afghanistan, where Osama bin Laden and his followers were allegedly hiding. These caves were described as “Osama’s...

As Trump Threatens to Send Military Into Cities, Some GIs Refuse to Comply

National Guardsmen block off Sunset Blvd during a Black Lives Matter protest on June 2, 2020, in Los Angeles, California. BYCandice Bernd, Truthout Some National Guard and active-duty GIs are refusing to deploy to U.S. cities rising up against police-perpetrated killings, saying no to complicity in the repression of the American populace and that they have not been properly trained in riot response or de-escalation tactics on domestic soil. Veterans and GI rights organizations told Truthout that dozens of GIs are reaching out to assess their options as President Trump orders military and federal police onto the streets of Washington, D.C., and threatens to use the 1807 Insurrection Act to send active-duty military into cities across the U.S. if governors cannot repress dis...

Defund Fascism, Blue and Orange

by PAUL STREET The American ruling class says it is opposed to “big government.” It isn’t. The wealthy Few are only against what the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu called “the left hand of the state” – those parts of government that reflect the victories of past and ongoing social movements by serving the common good, regulating Big Business, and offering support, protection, inclusion and empowerment to the lower and working classes. That is the “big government” the rich and powerful don’t like. That is the big bad State they want to “starve” and “drown.” Things are different when it comes to “the right hand of the state”– the parts of government that advance and preserve the upward concentration of wealth and power and discipline the non-pri...
