Did Obama Know that ISIS Planned to Invade Iraq? The division of Iraq is already a done deal, just as long as al Maliki doesn't gum up the works by deploying his army to retake the parts of the country that are now occupied by ISIS. But the Obama team probably won't allow that to happen, mainly because the bigshots in Washington like things the way they are now.

Splitting up Iraq -- It's all for Israel Iraq poses no national security threat to the US. US war planners already got what they want. There's no reason to go back and cause more trouble, to restart the war, to tear the country apart, and to split it into pieces. The only reason to dissolve Iraq, is Israel. Israel does not want a unified Iraq. Israel does not want an Iraq that can stand on its own two feet.

The ISIS Fiasco: It's Really an Attack on Iran What's important as far as Obama is concerned, is that the strategic objectives of Isis and those of the United States coincide. Both entities seek greater political representation for Sunnis, both want to minimize Iranian influence in Iraq, and both support a soft partition plan. The US benefits from these developments.

The Latest Regional Slugfest: On to Baghdad Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the US -- are all deeply involved and are looking for ways to shape the outcome. All four of these countries are up to their axels in the bloody game of geopolitics, and are using Iraq as a staging ground for the own hegemonic ambitions. We know who the losers will be in this latest regional slugfest -- the Iraqi people.

Dispatching B-2 Stealth Bombers to Europe: Obama's Attempt at Intimidating Russia Western elites want to control the flow of gas and oil from East to West. This is why they've installed their puppet in Kiev, threatened to levy more sanctions on Moscow, and moved B-2 stealth bombers into the European theater. They are determined to succeed in their plan even if it triggers a Third World War.

Madness, I Tell You: Saber Rattling at West Point The United States will do whatever the hell it wants to and if you don't like it: "Too bad." This is the Bush Doctrine verbatim. The West Point oration proves that the new administration has simply modified the Bush credo to suit Obama's pretentious speaking style.

Back in the Red -- First Quarter Growth Goes Negative while Bond Yields Plunge The American people are now facing a long period of high unemployment and slow growth that will shrink the middle class and change the country in ways we can hardly imagine. It's unavoidable. It's the policy.

Showdown in Ukraine: Putin vs. Comrade Wolf Putin doesn't want this war and neither do most Ukrainians. The whole thing was conjured up by Uncle Sam and his minions to stop the flow of Russian gas to Europe, to push NATO further eastward, and to break the Russian Federation into little pieces. That's what it's really all about. And these madmen are willing to raze Ukraine to the ground and kill every living organism within a 3,000 mile radius of Kiev to get their way.

News Blackout -- U.S. Media Ignores Putin's Peace Plan Putin is a plain-speaking guy who shoots from the hip and says what he means. He's not a bullshitter. People know that, which is why the media won't publish what he says. It's because they're afraid that people will believe him and all their jingoistic, pro-war propaganda will be for naught.

Obama's New Ukraine: A Russophobic, Failed State Ruled by Fascists Putin didn't topple the Ukrainian government. The US State Department did. Nor did Putin deploy the military to surround cities, cut off their water supplies and deploy helicopter gunships to fire missiles at civilian infrastructure and terrorize the local population. That was the work of Obama's fascist junta in Kiev. It's all part of the US plan to control Central Asia and rule the world.

Why is Putin in Washington's Crosshairs? Washington sees Russia as a growing threat to its plans for regional dominance. The problem is, Moscow has only gotten stronger as it has expanded its network of oil and gas pipelines across Central Asia into Europe. Washington wants a weak Russia that won't challenge US presence in Central Asia or its plan to control vital energy resources.

Putin's Dilemma: Fending Off the United State's Imperial Hand This is Putin's dilemma, to choose the path that is least likely to exacerbate the situation and plunge Ukraine deeper into the abyss. For now, the choice seems obvious, that is, he should simply sit-tight, resist the temptation to get involved, and avoid doing anything rash. Eventually, his restraint will be seen as strength not weakness. But, for now, he must be patient and wait.

G-20 and US Tell Japan to End QE BoJ chief Haruhiko Kuroda will come up with a number of goofball excuses for winding down the policy to conceal the real power-dynamic behind the decision. But the truth is obvious, Washington has ordered the BoJ to stop printing, and dad-gum-it, Japan is going to fall in line...or else. That's how things work in this-here empire.

The Obama Game: Is Putin Being Lured Into a Trap? Russia is not responsible for the crisis in Ukraine. Hacked phone calls reveal the critical role that Washington played in orchestrating the putsch and selecting the coup's leaders. Moscow was not involved in any of these activities. Putin, whatever one may think of him, has not done anything to fuel the violence and chaos that has spread across the country.

Government Backing for Toxic Mortgage Securities? The Economic Scam of the Century If you can't believe what you are reading or if you think that the system is so thoroughly corrupt it can't be fixed; you're not alone. This latest outrage just confirms that the Congress, the executive and all the chief regulators are mere marionettes performing whatever task is asked of them by their Wall Street paymasters. It's the scam of the century.

Obama Backs Down on Crimea The goofy Obama team wants the public to believe that the whole "constitutional reform" thing was their idea so people don't notice that the clunker administration and President Featherweight have run up the white flag and headed for the hills. This is classic Barack "lead from behind" Obama trying to make a full-blown retreat look like a victory.

Obama: The Willing Executioner Obama represents everything people profess to hate-war, drone attacks, Gitmo, indefinite detention, executive privilege to assassinate--yet they put him on a pedestal. Which is why we think that Obama is the greatest public relations invention of all-time; a beaming, exuberant,paragon who embodies the laudatory characteristics of leadership, able to carry out the most despicable, inhuman acts without hesitation or remorse.

Sour Grapes: Big Oil's "Sore Losers" Lead the Drive to War Big Oil still rules the roost. For some unknown reason, America's behemoth oil corporations think the resources that lie beneath Russian soil belong to them. The question is whether their agents will push Obama to put American troops at risk to assert that claim. If they do, there's going to be a war.

Grand Puppetmaster Brzezinski: Directing War Strategies from the Shadows The military escalation occurs in an atmosphere of heightened tension between the two nuclear-armed powers and will certainly add to their mutual distrust. Hagel's deployment is consistent with a plan for antagonizing Moscow that was proposed just days earlier in the Washington Post by the Obama administration's ideological godfather, Zbigniew Brzezinski.

Crimea River there are no good options. Aside from launching a full-blown ground war, which nobody wants, Obama is just going to have to suck it up and move on, because, at the end of the day, Moscow's still going to control the Crimea and Obama and his EU collaborators are still going to be stuck with a broken, underwater province run by technocrats, kleptocrats, and neo-Nazi, clownshoes politicos.
