Iraq committed to full US withdrawal deadline – media

(Uh oh. Time for another ISIS Crisis and some more fake beheading videos.) 

from RT (H/T Aletho News)

Iraq is committed to a full withdrawal of US-led coalition forces by the end of September, UK-based Saudi daily Asharq Al-Awsat reported on Saturday, citing an Iraqi official.

US forces have been in the country for 23 years since the 2003 invasion and subsequent smaller-scale operations against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS).

Reports that US and other foreign troops could remain after September “contradict what was agreed upon between the previous Iraqi government and the US administration,”...

Venezuela’s Delcy Rodríguez defends ‘endless’ benefits of her oil deal with Trump

from The Guardian

Deal that will reportedly see US take control of 65bn barrels of Venezuelan oil has provoked outrage in her country.

Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, has defended her government’s highly controversial energy deal with Donald Trump, insisting the South American country will maintain ownership and sovereignty over its massive oil reserves.

Rodríguez, who assumed power in January after Trump ordered the abduction of the president, Nicolás Maduro, took to the airwaves on Saturday to push back against criticism of what the US president has called “the biggest oil deal in world history”.

“The benefits are endless,” claimed Rodríguez, a former vice-president whom Trump backed after ordering Maduro’s capture during a special forces raid on the capital, Caracas.

During a six-minute television broadcast, Venezuela’s acting leader claimed the deal would help her resource-rich country develop its economy, earn revenues of more than $209bn (£154bn), and become “an energy powerhouse”...

But the deal has provoked outrage, both among members of Venezuela’s opposition and within the Chavismo political movement of which Rodríguez is part.

Speaking on Friday, one prominent opposition figure, who asked not to be named, called the agreement “a massive land grab” by a “rapacious, mafioso United States”.

Writing on X, Rafael Ramírez, the former head of Venezuela’s state-owned oil company PDVSA, accused Rodríguez’s administration of “driving a dagger straight into the heart of the homeland” with the “neocolonial” transaction. “They are handing over 65bn barrels of our reserves to the United States. That has never happened in Venezuela, and I think nowhere else in the world,” Ramírez added in an interview with the newspaper El Nacional.

On Saturday, dozens of leftwing protesters marched through Caracas with banners reading: “We are neither a colony, nor a back yard” and “Yankees go home!”

Critics of the agreement shared an ironic meme on social media suggesting the state oil company’s name should be changed from PDVSA to “PDUSA”...

Gaza aid boss tears into Trump's Board of Peace at the UN

from Politics Joe

'Watch Athena Rayburn, Chief Executive of the Association of International Development Agencies, deliver a devastating assessment of Donald Trump’s Board of Peace and its handling of Gaza before the UN. AIDA represent more than 100 international development and humanitarian NGOs trying to deliver aid to Gaza as Israel's occupation continues. She details restrictions on humanitarian aid, blocked medical supplies, and the continued killing of Palestinians under the so-called ceasefire. Rayburn challenges claims that Gaza is improving, arguing that a reduced risk of starvation means little while Palestinians remain at risk of shelling. “The Board of Peace is failing,” she tells the Council, calling on its members to take responsibility for what is happening under their watch.'

Bush III is Upon Us. Now What? (archived from Feb 2009)

(archived from February 8, 2009)

by Scott Creighton

Let me tell you something; if you haven’t figured out by now that Obama™ isn’t on your side, you’re a fucking moron. Period.  And if you have figured it out and you got a petition in your hand or one of those stupid paper-machete Condi Rice heads on, sit down and shut the fuck up. In a “democracy” that might have worked at one time or the other (it was a nice effort, don’t get me wrong. I penned one or two petitions myself). But those days are long gone, and the last question left us, the only question the kleptocracy is asking themselves, is what are we going to do about it?

Obama™ is strengthening the state department for globalist Hillary and her IMF loving lush of a husband.

He is strengthening NSC with more “nation building” powers and talking already of backing out of the plan to remove our troops from the illegal occupation of Iraq by talking about a 23 month “exit strategy”.

I’ll give you a hint; 23 months isn’t an “exit strategy“, it’s an occupation.  Hell, we have had wars that lasted less time than that and one of them, was with Iraq.

Obama™ is keeping the Pentagon staff exactly as BushCo left it and rather than reducing their budget like he promised, he is increasing it by $40 billion. That used to be a large sum of money, before the bailout days.

Renditions?   Don’t get me started.  This is the war for “hearts and minds” fought through semantics, just like Rumsfeld and BushCo drew it up.

Is it an “extraordinary rendition” or just the good old normal “rendition”?

The Pillow Biting Alternative Media and the Johns Who Love Them (archive)

The “obvious humanitarian crisis” is how Hillary Clinton, proven globalist war-monger and neoliberal lick-spittle, recently justified our initial involvement in Libya. This is simply not true. It is eerily reminiscent of her speech on the senate floor in Oct. of 2002 where she quoted every single Bush/Cheney lie to persuade other democrats to vote for an illegal and immoral invasion and occupation of Iraq. This was her speech and if anyone claims, “Bush Lied People Died” they better remember Hillary’s words as well.

“In the four years since the inspectors left, “intelligence reports” (fabricated by Rumsfeld’s Office of Special Plans, run by Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith) show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological stockpiles, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear weapon program. He has also given aid, comfort and sanctuary to terrorists including al Qaeda members. It is clear however, that if left unchecked Saddam will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.” Hillary Clinton, in support of the globalist occupation and regime change in Iraq, 2002

What is painfully obvious these days is that alternative media icons are helping spread Clinton’s Karl Rovesque hawkish fantasies about Libya, just like they also helped back in the lead-up to Iraq days, in order to help justify more profitable war and the wholesale privatization of Libya which is sure to follow.

Talk about strange bedfellows. Here’s a mental picture for you; Bill Kristol going heels to Jesus on Amy Goodman with Juan Cole and John Negroponte playing “touch my wand” in the corner with a disco ball flashing overhead and “Friday” playing on the hi-fi.

Don’t like that image seared into your brain for life? Tough. That’s what happens when you work your asses off to support the moderate “Obama agenda“. Why not get Arianna and Stewart to do another “Everything is Just Fine… for Some of Us” march on Washington with C3PO and a midget in a robot costume. That’ll make you feel better about the Obama betrayal.

Going back over all the MSM and “progressive” left’s neocon-like pro-war PR spin, you find one thing is consistent time and time again and that is that each reported “atrocity” comes straight from a rebel “witness” with no video or photographs to back them up.  Or you had real atrocities carried out by people like the “yellow hats” who were clearly not Gadhafi’s soldiers or police, but rather rebel supporters in civilian looking clothes but with these silly yellow hard-hats running around beating peaceful protesters in full view of rebel video cameras which had been set up prior to the PR event. Later they used videos of fighting between Gadhafi’s police and the “rebels” as “evidence” of the make-believe slaughter, forgetting to mention that any police or military unit is going to defend itself when a small faction of capitalist sponsored thugs attack them in the open with automatic weapons and even heavier equipment.

It’s one lie after another lie, followed up by a half-truth, and then some outright propaganda, served up with a heart warming shot of self-righteous self-satisfaction. A recipe for war promotion dating back to the Greeks and probably back to cave dwellers who’ s chief wanted to profit from grabbing the beads of the neighboring tribes.

Globalist Puppet Luis Moreno-Ocampo Issues ICC Arrest Warrant for Gadhafi based on “Activists Say” Evidence (archive)

(archived from June 27, 2011)

by Scott Creighton

In March of this year, a globalist puppet was tasked with finding some reason to force Moammar Gadhafi out of power in Libya so their pro-western, monarchist “rebels” could take power. Luis Moreno-Ocampo took his charge seriously and declare before any investigation that he was “100% certain” that he would find “crimes against humanity” charges for the Libyan leader. Ocampo found his “evidence” by listening to whatever so-called “activists” made up with no supporting physical evidence of any kind.

Today those charges were turned into official arrest warrants.

“The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi on charges of committing crimes against humanity.

… The warrants are a response to ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo’s call on the court to issue arrest warrants for the three influential Libyan figures.” Press TV

Remember, in May of 2002, in order to keep U.S. officials from being tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the I.C.C., the Bush administration officially withdrew America’s intent of ratification of the I.C.C. Treaty.

In that letter of withdrawal, Donald Rumsfeld, at the time the Secretary of Defense and quite possibly a potential target of criminal investigation, stated…

“There is a lack of adequate checks and balances on the powers of ICC prosecutors and judges. The treaty dilutes the U.N. Security Council’s authority over international criminal prosecutions” Armed forces Press Service
