BREAKING US President Donald Trump is “ fully prepared ” to use military force against Turkey if “ needed, ” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has declared, qualifying the statement by insisting Washington prefers to use its “ diplomatic powers. ” “ We prefer peace to war, ” Pompeo told CNBC in a taped interview that aired Monday afternoon. He stopped short of revealing what action on Turkey’s part would constitute such a “ need. ” Pompeo added that Washington would use economic and “ diplomatic powers ” before breaking out the heavy artillery. He did not want to “ get out in front of the president’s decision about whether to take the awesome undertaking of using America’s military might, ” he said, indicating that it was up to Trump to decide whether Ankara had crossed the line. Trump had earlier touted the wisdom of giving Turkey some space to enact its campaign on the border of Syria against Kurdish groups Ankara considers to be terrorists. “ Sometimes you have to let th

The Grayzone Hillary Clinton has smeared Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein as Russian assets, and almost no Democratic politicians are pushing back. Max Blumenthal says that Clinton's comments reflect a continued effort by Democratic neo-liberals to deflect responsibility for their loss to Trump in 2016; marginalize voices like Gabbard and Stein's who challenge their pro-war, corporatist agenda; and preview their potential future attacks on Bernie Sanders. 

Former and current US officials have slammed the Turkish mercenary force of “Arab militias” for executing and beheading Kurds in northern Syria. New data from Turkey reveals that almost all of these militias were armed and trained in the past by the CIA and Pentagon. by Max Blumenthal Part 2 - The FSA and White Helmets become Turkey’s mercenary army Turkey employed anti-Assad insurgents against the Kurdish YPG for the first time in March 2018, when it invaded the northern Syrian city of Afrin during Operation Olive Branch. That onslaught saw an array of heinous atrocities, from the vandalism of the corpse of a female Kurdish fighter to the looting of Afrin. These war crimes were committed largely by fighters of the defunct Free Syrian Army – the collection of “moderate rebels” once armed by the CIA. In a video message, one of the invading fighters promised mass ethnic cleansing if Kurds in the area refused to convert to his Wahhabi strain of Sunni Islam. “ By Allah, ” the

Ecuador’s workers are rising up against the IMF-mandated neoliberal economic reforms of President Lenin Moreno, a close ally of Washington who calls them “zánganos,” or drone bees. by Denis Rogatyuk Part 5 - Skyrocketing poverty and inequality Moreno’s austerity program has only served to fan the flames of popular discontent that have been spreading across the country since Moreno took a decided turn to the right and implemented the IMF’s agenda. Moreno has consistently attempted to discredit former President Rafael Correa’s popular economic strategy of combining social spending with public investment in infrastructure and energy projects while diversifying the economy, moving away from oil by developing a new system of production. In contrast, Moreno’s government has pursued an IMF-mandated package of reforms that has mandated the dismissal of thousands of public-sector employees, reduced the size of the public sector, initiated privatization of parts of the public s

globinfo freexchange Right after July's Democratic debate, several Left-wing independent websites identified a further Leftist re-location of Elizabeth Warren towards the political agenda of Bernie Sanders. Some identified even a solid Sanders-Warren front against which the establishment liberal pundits launched a fierce attack. As Paul Street wrote for Counterpunch , " Conservative CNN “moderators” and absurdly marginal corporate Democrat pseudo-candidates like John Hickenlooper and John Delaney attacking the mildly social-democratish neo-New Deal progressive Bernie Sanders and the leftish liberal Elizabeth Warren as too “radical,” “socialist,” and too “extreme.” Listening just to corporate lackeys like Delaney, Hickenlooper, and CNN’s Jack Tapper and Don Lemon, you’d think Sanders was a Bolshevik and Warren was a Menshevik transplanted from revolutionary Russia 102 years ago ... "  And Norman Solomon claimed that " The very biggest fear among corporate

Spain’s government has dismissed calls from Catalonia’s pro-independence regional chief for talks over a wave of violence sparked by the jailing of separatist leaders, as police braced for fresh protests. Barcelona saw its worst night of disturbances in decades on Friday as masked youths blocked roads with blazing garbage bins and hurled rocks at security forces, who responded by firing repeated rounds of smoke grenades and tear gas. Catalonia’s president, Quim Torra, said the violence did not reflect the peaceful nature of the traditional Catalan independence movement and asked for discussions with Madrid. “ We urge the acting prime minister of the Spanish government to sit at a negotiating table to talk, ” he told reporters. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Torra must first unequivocally condemn the unrest.  “ Mr Torra must strongly condemn the violence, which he has not done so far, ” Sanchez said in a statement, adding that he also needed to build bridges with the many

2020 candidate Tulsi Gabbard is trending on Twitter, after the Hawaiian lawmaker scorched Hillary Clinton with a devastating put-down. Nevertheless, Hillary fans still maintain Tulsi’s popularity is the work of ‘Russian bots’.

Thank you Hillary Clinton, ” Gabbard tweeted in response. “ You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. ”  “ It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me, ” Gabbard continued. “ Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly. ” Gabbard’s takedown resonated with fans on Twitter, who tweeted their support, along with the hashtag #IamTulsi. By Saturday morning, the hashtag

UK lawmakers held an emergency session on Saturday to discuss the Brexit deal worked out by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the European Union, voting on a measure which would force No 10 to delay the UK's exit from the bloc to a later date. The European Union will grant a Brexit extension if Prime Minister Boris Johnson sends a letter, Brussels said, according to The Guardian . Earlier, MPs passed a backbench amendment to withhold support for Prime Minister's Brexit deal, thus ensuring a delay to the UK's divorce from the EU. Lawmakers voted 322 to 306 on an amendment tabled by independent MP Oliver Letwin withholding approval on the Brexit deal until the necessary legislation to implement it has been passed, thus mandating Johnson to delay Brexit in accordance with the terms of the Benn Act, a September 9 act of parliament requiring the PM to ask the EU to extend the Brexit withdrawal date until January 31, 2020. But Prime Minister Johnson said he would not negotiat
