America Hell-Bent on War: 80-Year-Old Analyst Has Never Been More Afraid
Lendman says that the US Congress almost universally demonizes Putin, and that the US media has sunk to its lowest depths in his lifetime. He fears a possible US-instigated war with Russia, and suspects a major false flag will be used as justification. “I'm 80 years old. I was never scared throughout the Cold War years. I'm very scared now,” he stated. Read full article.
Nuclear War and Clashing Ukraine Narratives
Exclusive: America and Russia have two nearly opposite narratives on Ukraine, which is more an indictment of the U.S. news media which feigns objectivity but disseminates what amounts to propaganda. These divergent narratives are driving the world toward a possible nuclear crisis, writes Robert Parry. Read full article.
Rojava – the formation of an economic alternative: Private property in the service of all
EXTRACT
Inspired by the model of democratic confederalism and democratic autonomy, democratic assemblies, women’s council and other democratic organisations have been established. Every ethnic and religious group must be represented in these councils, and the leadership of each evenly divided between the sexes.

Last Thursday, USA Today published an article titled “A-10 Warplane Tops List for Friendly Fire Deaths.” It purported to use data provided by sources inside the Air Force to substantiate the article and its title. In fact, the article performed no significant, even rudimentary, analysis of the data the Air Force sources provided, let alone the history of the A-10, the operating characteristics inherent in its design and its long time record in four wars since Operation Desert Storm in 1991. The USA Today article had every appearance of being a megaphone for spoon-fed misrepresentations to fortify the Air Force’s case to retire the A-10 prematurely and use the funds “saved” to force feed still more money into the disastrous F-35 program.
The gambit from those Air Force sources backfired—big time.
All the areas where the Alliance is weak.
Hybrid Tactics: Neither New nor only Russian
CONCLUSION:
The Alliance can take action, primarily, in the military and intelligence fields – through deterrence and, if necessary, direct intervention. But the very nature of the threat requires a wider array of tools: well-trained police forces, functioning border management systems, and effective anti-corruption agencies, as well as transparency in the energy sector and in party political funding. It is here that the Union can make a real difference in contributing to a combined and integrated response.
Former DIA director identifies disconnect between intelligence and policymakers
The Blaze, 9 February 2015
American leaders are failing to adapt their strategies to new threats identified by intelligence organizations, the former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency said.
President Obama claimed that America’s combat mission Afghan War was over in his SoU address, but 9,800 troops will remain in Afghanistan for the foreseeable future involved in training and counterterrorism missions. This mission of this left over force has officially been changed to “Operation Freedom’s Sentinel.” To date, the U.S. has spent over $780 billion on the Afghan war, and Obama’s Fiscal Year 2016 budget plans to continue this hemorrhage by calling for as much as $$42.5 billion to be spent on this mission during FY 2016, which begins on October 1 of this year. The attached report explains argues that this commitment will merely reinforce failure because –
