‘Corruption’ as a Propaganda Weapon
‘Corruption’ as a Propaganda Weapon Exclusive: Mainstream U.S. journalism and propaganda are getting hard to tell apart, as with the flurry of “corruption” stories aimed at Russia’s Putin and other demonized foreign leaders, writes Robert Parry. Sadly, some important duties of journalism, such as applying evenhanded standards on human rights abuses and financial corruption, have been so corrupted […]
Reality Peeks Through in Ukraine
Reality Peeks Through in Ukraine Exclusive: With corruption rampant and living standards falling, Ukraine may become the next failed state that “benefited” from a neoconservative-driven “regime change,” though the blame will always be placed elsewhere – in this case, on the demonized Russian President Putin, writes Robert Parry. Nearly two years since U.S. officials helped foment a […]
How Obama Enables Atrocities
How Obama Enables Atrocities Exclusive: President Obama seems so scared of offending the Saudis and their Israeli allies that he will tolerate almost any outrage, including Saudi Arabia’s mass beheadings and/or shootings of the regime’s enemies including a Shiite political leader who dared criticize the monarchy, writes Robert Parry. As the New Year dawns, the neocons and […]
One County’s Global Warming Failure
One County’s Global Warming Failure Exclusive: Even communities where many citizens agree that global warming is a threat to humankind – and have the money to take action – find that the politics of doing something can be complicated and seemingly insurmountable, like the case of Arlington, Virginia, reports Robert Parry. The difficulty of the United States and […]
America’s Debt to Bradley Manning
America’s Debt to Bradley Manning From the Archive: The U.S. mainstream media is again embracing a U.N. report critical of Iran’s alleged past work on a nuclear bomb, but leaks from Pvt. Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning exposed Yukiya Amano, the key U.N. official, as a front for U.S. and Israeli interests, as Robert Parry reported in 2011. One criticism about […]
A Blind Eye Toward Turkey’s Crimes
A Blind Eye Toward Turkey’s Crimes Exclusive: The alleged ties between Turkish President Erdogan and Islamist terrorists in Syria is an embarrassment for the Obama administration and the U.S. news media, which would prefer to look the other way rather than face up to the danger created by an out-of-control NATO “ally,” writes Robert Parry. Theoretically, it would […]
Hitting Saudi Arabia Where It Hurts
Hitting Saudi Arabia Where It Hurts Exclusive: Though faced with a global terrorism crisis, Official Washington can’t get beyond its neocon-led “tough-guy-gal” rhetoric. But another option – financial sanctions on Saudi Arabia – might help finally shut down the covert supply of money and arms to Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, writes Robert Parry. As the […]
Tangled Threads of US False Narratives
Tangled Threads of US False Narratives Exclusive: Official Washington’s many false narratives about Russia and Syria have gotten so tangled that they have become a danger to the struggle against Sunni terrorism and conceivably a threat to the future of the planet, a risk that Robert Parry explores. One way to view Official Washington is to envision […]
MH-17 Case: ‘Old’ Journalism vs. ‘New’
MH-17 Case: ‘Old’ Journalism vs. ‘New’ Exclusive: For skilled intelligence operatives, the Internet can be a devil’s playground, a place to circulate doctored photos, audio and documents, making investigations based on “social media” and such sources particularly risky, a point worth recalling in the mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, says Robert Parry. The first thing any thinking person learns […]
US Tax Dollars and Ukraine’s Finance Minister
US Tax Dollars and Ukraine’s Finance Minister Special Report: Though touted as the face of reform inside Ukraine’s post-coup regime, Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko enriched herself at the expense of a U.S.-taxpayer-financed investment fund – and USAID now says it’s missing some of the audit records detailing Jaresko’s dealings, reports Robert Parry. The U.S. government is […]
Was Turkey Behind Syria Sarin Attack?
Was Turkey Behind Syria Sarin Attack? From the Archive: As Washington pundits again demand Syrian President Assad’s ouster, a top talking point is that he “gassed his own people” in a Sarin attack in 2013. But that rush to judgment was picked apart by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh and others, as Robert Parry reported in spring 2014. In late August […]
Who’s to Blame for Syria Mess? Putin!
Who’s to Blame for Syria Mess? Putin! Exclusive: Official Washington’s new “group think” is to blame Russia’s President Putin for the Syrian crisis, although it was the neocons and President George W. Bush who started the current Mideast mess by invading Iraq, the Saudis who funded Al Qaeda, and the Israelis who plotted “regime change,” says Robert Parry. […]
How Neocons Destabilized Europe
How Neocons Destabilized Europe Exclusive: The neocon prescription of endless “regime change” is spreading chaos across the Middle East and now into Europe, yet the neocons still control the mainstream U.S. narrative and thus have diagnosed the problem as not enough “regime change,” as Robert Parry reports. The refugee chaos that is now pushing deep into Europe […]
