This is hands down the best article I've seen to date encapsulating the truth of the situation on this planet. Thank you Press TV! Thank you Extraterrestrials.ning.com for bringing it to my attention, and thank you Finian Cunningham for writing this monumental piece. Me Irish eyes are smilin', lad. It feels so good to have some respectable press come out and say everything that needed to be said; what all of us in the alternative media have been saying for so very long, wondering if anyone was listening, or even noticed---or ever would.
The United States of America stands exposed in the eyes of the entire world as the number-one terrorist threat to the future of humanity. Many have known this fact already, but now it is universally clear.

As
the US prepares to launch an overt war on Syria (the covert war has been raging
for 30 months), the vast majority of humanity can finally see through all its
decades of pretense and conceit as the world’s model of democracy and
international law. And what they see is the ugly opposite. The US is a terrorist
state that holds international law, democracy and human rights in utter
contempt. It is ready, as it always has been, to kill countless civilians for
its selfish political ambitions. That is the conventional definition of
“terrorism”.
Syria’s
President Bashar al-Assad made a profound point recently when he said that his
country has faced aggression for more than two years, but only now is the real
enemy revealing itself - the US and its minions. But the US terrorist state is
not just being called out over Syria. It is being revealed as the enemy to the
entire world.
From
past wars in the Caribbean, Central America, Philippines, Vietnam and Indochina,
through coups and covert ops in Iran, Iraq, Africa, to recent killing fields in
Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan and Somalia, the historical picture is now
complete. All these conflicts and many more - too many to mention here -
integrate into one indisputable truth. The US is the world’s biggest terror
state. If it is not dealt with definitely, then the future of the world is in
peril more than ever.
In
previous crimes of aggression, the US ruling elite could invoke the spurious
cover of “a coalition of the willing”, or the abused authority of the United
Nations or NATO. It was able to do that through deployment of lies, fabrications
and a supine mass media that would lend credibility to the mendacity. Now,
thanks to alternative, critical media and instant global communications, the
American lies don’t work any longer. In an instant, they are exposed; just like
the attempt in the last few hours of US Secretary of State John to frame up
Syria over alleged chemical weapons use.
The
New York Times, BBC and the usual Western media mouthpieces for imperialist
propaganda dutifully facilitated Kerry and his US state terrorism with
bombastic, important-sounding headlines: “Kerry lays out evidence against
Syria”. There was hardly a critical question raised, even though there are
grounds for dozens such questions. Years ago, that kind of herd-think might have
been enough to buy the US warmongers enough time to launch a war - but not any
more. Within minutes of Kerry’s supposedly definitive condemnation, statements,
articles, tweets and blogs were pulling the charade asunder, showing that apart
from Western-media-amplified bombast, Kerry was not saying anything of value. It
was just another risible repetition of earlier hyperbole and empty rhetoric. Or
in short, lies.
The
people of the world have reached a critical mass of intolerance towards the
rogue terror states of the US, Britain, France, Israel and a few other
accomplices. We have watched their relentless mass murder and exploitation of
fellow humans in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. We have witnessed how this tiny
group of state terrorists imposes on the vast majority of humanity their vile
criminality and in the process then insult us with grotesque lies and
justifications. We have seen how these rogue states have stolen land, poisoned
people’s water, burnt their crops, dispossessed their homes, assassinated
families with aerial drones and ground drones in the form of death squads. They
have committed all these shocking crimes with lies and impunity to the point
where now these state terrorists are operating in more than one country
simultaneously in a permanent state of relentless war, pushing the very future
of humanity to the brink.
However,
despite this lawlessness and gangsterism, the people of the world are fighting
back.
This
week the British parliament voted against the London government’s arrogance to
provide its usual criminal special relationship to the Americans. In the
execution of past war crimes in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya - to mention a few -
Washington could rely on the trusty British imperialists to give a veneer of
“coalition of the willing”. British premier David Cameron’s plans to repeat the
criminality by backing Washington’s plans to bomb Syria were dealt a crushing
blow by the British parliament voting against any such military action. Cameron
was forced to withdraw. The vote in the British parliament is not so much a sign
of ethics among Britain’s political class. It is more a reflection of the global
awakening among ordinary citizens that this insane state terrorism must
stop.
The
French government has also backed off earlier bellicose bravado, with French
President Francois Hollande belatedly calling for a “peaceful, political
solution” over the Syrian crisis. Even Washington’s reliable Canadian puppet
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said that his country will not be getting
involved military in Syria. It is also reported that 10 members of the NATO
alliance - one-third of the total - are not willing to support American strikes.
This latter grouping comprises the usual minions of the US. And we haven’t even
yet acknowledged the more strident opponents, such as Russia, China, Iran and
the majority of nations elsewhere in Asia, Africa and the Americas.
The
people of the world have had it with elite Western rulers acting as terrorists
who are holding humanity to ransom. The rulers are presiding not only over
military terrorism. They are inflicting economic, social and ecological
terrorism with their bankrupt capitalist smash-and-grab system. That system has
reached the point of meltdown and that is why we are being pushed into
relentless wars - in order for the rulers and their politician puppets to corner
the remaining resources. The ultimate solution to end the wars is for the people
to overthrow the economic system that US and Western elite rulers preside over.
The insane criminality of the US rulers over Syria is exposing this historic
challenge facing humanity.
After
the British parliamentary setback the US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said:
“Our approach is to continue to find an international coalition that will act
together. It is the goal of President Obama and our government... whatever
decision is taken, that it be an international collaboration and effort.”
Can
you believe how ridiculous these American puppets sound? What the deluded
Americans do not seem to realize is that they are on their own. The only
entities willing to support their aggression on Syria is Saudi Arabia and
Israel. So, how’s that for credibility? The only support Washington can muster
is from a feudal, sword-wielding, head-chopping regime and a criminal pariah
genocidal state. Coalition of the Willing? More like Coalition of the
Killing.'
