No to War on Iran! 10 January 2020 LLCO.org On January 3, 2020, Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani and 9 others were killed in a U.S. airstrike at the Baghdad International Airport. Under the UN Charter, the assassination of Soleimani is illegal and in clear violation of international law. It is clear that the unilateral... Continue Reading →
[While all media sources have some form of bias, the western imperialist media outlets are by far the worst offenders. Whether they are suppressing the truth by not reporting on important issues, or just outright lying, it should be obvious that there is a coordinated and concerted effort by the corporate news to push US/western...

[The imperialist's false narrative about chemical weapons use in Syria is crumbling. However, the general public might not be aware of this if they are only paying attention to mainstream sources. There is scant mention of this bombshell from corporate media, except to discredit the story as a Russian conspiracy and double down on the... Continue Reading →
[This may be old news to some of our audience, however we believe it is important to highlight information that some people might not be aware of. This is especially prudent considering the recent US partial troop withdrawal from the Syrian boarder with Turkey, and the resulting uproar from both major US political parties clamoring...

[Here is an editorial that points out the undeniable and somewhat humorous hypocrisy of the western media. Although not satire, the title is a bit misleading. Of course, the western "journalists" who were cheer-leading for the "moderate rebels" in Syria knew that such groups were actually brutal, reactionary extremists and imperialist proxy forces for overthrowing...

[While we hope that any new evidence uncovered in these terrorist cave networks will exonerate the Syrian government from the absurd charges that they used chemical weapons, it is more likely that the U.S. and its allies will ignore or deny any proof presented to them that counters their vicious lies and propaganda. Furthermore, any... Continue Reading →
[The world is changing rapidly. We are starting to see encouraging signs that coalitions of regional powers are willing and able to counter US global hegemony. Hopefully this trend will continue, and be successful in dislodging the US imperialists from their position of dominance. However, RT fails to mention in this article that Erdogan has...

[Will the US, France, or the UK pay for what they have done? We won't be holding our breath. The UN is a weapon, and it is wielded by the powerful against the weak. It is incredibly naive to believe that any of the permanent members of the Security Council would be brought to justice... Continue Reading →
[Genuine aid would be unconditional and impartial. Retinal scanning and facial recognition technology should not be a necessary component of a food aid operation. Clearly there are ulterior motives for such a move. It turns out that the largest donors to the WFP (the program responsible for food aid in Yemen) are the same barbarous... Continue Reading →
[It is no secret that Saudi Arabia, the other Gulf monarchies, and [post-Nasserist] Egypt are NATO-aligned client states which assist in carrying out U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, along with Israel. Sitting on top of an extraordinary amount of oil wealth, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in particular, assists the U.S. in plundering... Continue Reading →
[On August 25th, 2018, Senator and former U.S. Republican Presidential candidate John McCain died at the age of 81; he was diagnosed with brain cancer last year on July 2017. Given the current climate of identity politics in the Trump Era, “anti-war” liberals have gone as far as to rehabilitate once-widely reviled war criminals such... Continue Reading →
[Yet another atrocity carried out by the Saudi-led coalition against the people of Yemen. Despite the growing humanitarian crisis, the situation in Yemen still seems to be largely ignored by western media outlets when compared to other conflicts. This omission is most likely due to these imperialist governments' desire to downplay their support and active... Continue Reading →
