Debate on Escalation in Syria

Here's a liberal progressive war advocate employed by a center funded by a war profiteer pushing for "coercive measures" and "threats of force" without ever discussing the actual killing he wants done. I debate him below on The Real News.com.

(WASHINGTON DC) - I've never debated anyone who wants limited child abuse or small-scale slavery or carefully circumscribed rape. It's always war.

It's always the worst crime, the crime least susceptible to control once begun, and the crime that includes all the others, the crime defined at Nuremberg as the greatest of them all because it includes all the others. And it's always in blatant violation of the law.

Who Were the Kiev Snipers?

The snipers who shot at protesters and police in Kiev were allegedly hired by Maidan leaders, according to a leaked phone conversation which emerged online.

(PORTLAND) - This leaked 11-minute phone conversation of Feb 25, confirmed by the Estonian foreign ministry, is not getting the attention in the western media that the leaked phone call between Victoria Nuland and the US ambassador in Kiev got. Ashton refuses to comment so far.

It’s also worth noting that in that previous leaked call, Nuland bragged how former U.S. (now UN official) Jeffrey Feltman "got" UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to send Dutch diplomat Robert Serry to Ukraine.

Thoughts on the Ukraine Crisis

While the Russian occupation of the Crimea is regrettable, the U.S. hypocritical bluster about the intervention impressed no one, least of all Vladimir Putin.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - Secretary of State John Kerry recently denounced Russia’s intervention in the Crimea by declaring, “It is not appropriate to invade a country, and at the end of a barrel of a gun dictate what you are trying to achieve.

That is not 21st-century, G8, major nation behaviour." Guess which country has a sordid history of invading countries. As the saying goes, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Putin`s Price for Peace is Simple

Putin's price for peace is simple. The removal of the illegal Western-backed interim 'government' from Kiev. Otherwise he's moving in.

(WASHINGTON DC) - Behind the diplomatic verbiage, Russian President Putin was clearly on the offensive.

He let it be understood that unless the US and Europe rid Kiev of the “fascist gangs,” which had taken over, Moscow would move forces into additional parts of Ukraine to uphold its interests and “protect the Russian citizens and compatriots living there” for as long as the interim regime remained in Kiev.

Ukraine--Do you know? Why not??

Do you know according to polls if Crimeans were allowed to vote they would join with Russia?

(JAMESTOWN, RI) - How about the irony or even the humor of John Kerry condemning Russia for “invading another country on a trumped up pretext”?

One might think media outlets would point out just how foolish his scolding sounds in light of our invasion and occupation of both Iraq and Afghanistan on “trumped up” claims.

Propaganda Rules The News

The Obama regime and its presstitutes will continue to lie about everything.

(WASHINGTON, DC) - Gerald Celente calls the Western media “presstitutes,” an ingenuous term that I often use. Presstitutes sell themselves to Washington for access and government sources and to keep their jobs.

Ever since the corrupt Clinton regime permitted the concentration of the US media, there has been no journalistic independence in the United States except for some Internet sites.

Ukraine-Official Statement from Liverpool British National Party

What's going on - and what should Britain do?

(LONDON) - With William Hague and other Westminster warmongers traipsing between TV studios to condemn Russian intervention in Ukraine, most clued-up nationalists instinctively reject the controlled media's propaganda.

They are, of course, right. As principled nationalists, we naturally sympathise with the desire of Ukrainians...

Veterans: Sacrificial Lambs

All Americans should contact their respective members of Congress and Senate and advise them to do what is right for our veterans.

(MEDIA, PA) - Our Legislators have no qualms sending our men and women in uniform into harms way. We who served and those who continue to serve do what is expected in service for our Country, even if it means the giving of our life. Eventually we become Veterans.

Some of us at some point need help from our government, usually in the form of VA benefits.

Military Veteran Professor Analyzes and Criticizes New DoD Budget

Hagel’s proposal is already receiving pushback from Congress.

(PITTSFIELD, MA) - The Pentagon’s budget proposal for next year was announced last week by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel.

In an interview with The New York Times, Hagel argued that to meet today’s national security needs...

Child Soldiers, Hidden Problem in US

Americans like to think that this only happens in other parts of the world when it is taking place right under their nose

(SALEM) - According to the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHCR), allowing children to serve in the military, in a combat environment is a war crime. This is simple for most people to understand.

But if it is illegal, why does the US allow children to serve in its military and how is that not also a war crime?
