FRIENDLY FIRE ISN'T.
U.S. kills 50% to 90% of its own troops,
and allies from Friendly Fire.
USA Troops kill their own. For every report of friendly fire hundreds more go unreported, and get tallied as enemy related. USA use friendly fire for various reasons including but, not limited to excuse to attack enemy by fabricating an attack to retaliate. This can be for many reasons political, financial, etc. USA friendly fire used to advance one's own career by eliminating their own competition to move up the ranks fast. Vengeance againt one's own for many reasons. To get out of the front lines to return back home, or REMF(rear echelon mutha fucka). For a loss tally for many reasons usually political, and financial. Etc...... Most USA Troop Deaths, and Injuries are caused by their own side either intentional, or unintentional. Domestic Enemies are far worse than Foreign Enemies. Most USA deaths caused by Domestic Enemies...
Friendly fire
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendly_fire
Friendly fire is an attack by a military force on non-enemy, own, allied or neutral, forces while attempting to attack the enemy, either by misidentifying the target as hostile, or due to errors or inaccuracy. Fire not intended to attack the enemy, and deliberate firing on one's own troops for disciplinary reasons, is not called friendly fire; nor is unintentional harm to non-combatants or structures, which is sometimes referred to as collateral damage. Training accidents and bloodless incidents also do not qualify as friendly fire in terms of casualty reporting...
in classical forms of warfare—including hand-to-hand combat—death from a "friendly" was rare, in industrialized warfare, deaths from friendly fire are common.... By the 20th and 21st centuries, friendly-fire casualties have likely become a significant percentage of combat injuries and fatalities. ...
According to the most comprehensive survey of casualties (both fatal and nonfatal), 21 percent of the casualties in World War II were attributable to friendly fire, 39 percent of the casualties in Vietnam, and 52 percent of the casualties in the first Gulf War. Thus far in the ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, casualty rates are 41 percent and 13 percent, respectively.
Under-reporting and methodological bias:
In the annals of warfare, deaths at the hand of the enemy are often valorized, while those at that hand of friendly forces may be cast in shame. Moreover, because public relations and morale are important, especially in modern warfare, the military may be inclined to under-report friendly-fire, especially when in charge of both investigations and press releases...

At best, these are conservative figures. Which is to say, these figures represent the minimal percentages of FF casualties on record so far. As additional friendly fire incidents are discovered these figures will increase, not decrease.

Fragging
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragging
Fragging is the deliberate killing or attempted killing by a soldier of a fellow soldier, usually a superior officer or non-commissioned officer (NCO). The word was coined by U.S. military personnel during the Vietnam War, when such killings were most often attempted with a fragmentation grenade, sometimes making it appear as though the killing was accidental or during combat with the enemy. The term fragging is now often used to encompass any means used to deliberately and directly cause the death of military colleagues. ...
Soldiers have killed colleagues, especially superior officers, since the beginning of armed conflict, with many documented instances throughout history.... The prevalence of fragging was partially based on the ready availability of fragmentation hand grenades. Grenades were untraceable to an owner and did not leave any ballistic evidence. M18 Claymore mines and other explosives were also occasionally used in fragging...
A number of factors may have influenced the incidence of fragging. The demand for manpower for the war in Vietnam caused the armed forces to lower their standards for inducting both officers and enlisted men. The rapid rotation of personnel, especially of officers who served on the average less than six months in command roles, decreased the stability and cohesion of military units. Most important of all, perhaps, was the loss of purpose in fighting the war, as it became apparent to all that the United States was withdrawing from the war without having achieved any sort of victory. Morale and discipline deteriorated....
Most known fragging incidents were carried out by soldiers in support units rather than soldiers in combat units....
Fragging statistics include only incidents involving explosives, most commonly grenades. Several hundred murders of U.S. soldiers by firearms occurred in Vietnam but most were of enlisted men killing enlisted men of nearly equal rank. Fewer than 10 officers are known to have been murdered by firearms. However, rumors and claims abound of deliberate killing of officers and non-commissioned officers by enlisted men under battlefield conditions. The frequency and number of these fraggings, indistinguishable from combat deaths, cannot be quantified....
The U.S. military's responses to fragging incidents included greater restrictions on access to weapons.... inventoried stocks of weapons, and searched soldier's quarters, confiscating weapons, ammunition, grenades, and knives. This action, however, failed to reduce fragging incidents as soldiers could easily obtain weapons in a flourishing black market among nearby Vietnamese communities. The U.S. military also attempted to diminish adverse publicity concerning fragging and the security measures it was taking to reduce it.
Only a few fraggers were identified and prosecuted. It was often difficult to distinguish between fragging and enemy action. A grenade thrown into a foxhole or tent could be a fragging, or the action of an enemy infiltrator or saboteur. Enlisted men were often close-mouthed in fragging investigations, refusing to inform on their colleagues out of fear or solidarity....
In the Vietnam War, the threat of fragging caused many officers and NCOs to go armed in rear areas and to change their sleeping arrangements as fragging often consisted of throwing a grenade into a tent where the target was sleeping....
Fatal Errors – The Worst Friendly Fire Incidents of World War Two
Some of the worst friendly fire incidents of World War Two involved British and American bombers dropping their payloads onto Allied troops. “The fatal air battle at Nis is just one of many examples of allies killing allies that, all told, cost thousands of lives during the Second World War. Here are a few more examples.”:
The entire affair was chalked up to a case of “friendly fire” and promptly swept under the rug by military censors. Yet sadly, the fatal air battle at Nis is just one of many examples of allies killing allies that, all told, cost thousands of lives during the Second World War. Here are a few more examples:
Operation Cobra – 136 Dead... U.S. soldiers watch as Allied bombers approach St. Lo...Out of sheer rage, American troops knowingly opened fire on their own planes following the incident.... near St. Lo, France went awry on July 25.... disaster of the entire 1944 Normandy campaign
Incident at Mersa, Egypt – 359 Dead...
The Allerona Train Disaster – 400 Dead... Allied POWs were the victims of one of the worst friendly fire incidents of the Second World War....

U.S. Military: The Curse of 'Friendly Fire'
http://time.com/2854306/the-curse-of-friendly-fire/
The war in Afghanistan began with friendly fire. Now it seems to be ending the same way....
As war has become increasingly antiseptic — with the ability to track who killed whom — friendly fire has loomed as a growing problem. In 1991’s Gulf War, 24% of the 148 U.S. battle deaths — 35 — were due to so-called friendly fire. (NOTE: These are the reported incidents. Most FF incidents are deliberately, and unintentionally misreported, covered up, etc...) ...
“The press of battle, political considerations, emotions and most particularly the lack of a comprehensive and accessible automated data base have mitigated against thorough examinations of the problem,” a 1993 outside study conducted for the Army said. “Recent analysis of empirical data from World War II, Vietnam and Operation Desert Storm indicates that historically accepted fratricide rates of about 2% … are woefully low.” ...
Soldier Speaks Up A Decade After Pat Tillman's Friendly-Fire Death
"I remember thinking for just a second or two, but what felt like longer — your perception of time in the midst of a firefight can be distorted — that if he'd fired, and without any other information to indicate a friendly position, that I should also fire," he says.
(NOTE: USA military shoot at anything without first identifying the target. One major cause of friendly fire.)
Tillman's family was initially told that their son was killed by enemy fire. It was not until more than a month later that they learned the actual details of his death.
Among those who were kept in the dark were Spc. Tillman's own brother, Kevin, a fellow Ranger in Elliott's platoon.
Elliott says he and others were instructed by their unit leaders "not to discuss [the incident] with folks outside the unit, and that was mainly because it was still under investigation.
"I was operating on a certain level of naiveté, I believe," he says. "[I thought] senior leaders were trying to protect the family, and I had no idea they were being deceived at any point."

ICC prosecutors: US forces may have committed war crimes
U.S. armed forces and the CIA may have committed war crimes by torturing detainees in Afghanistan,..."Members of US armed forces appear to have subjected at least 61 detained persons to torture, cruel treatment, outrages upon personal dignity on the territory of Afghanistan between 1 May 2003 and 31 December 2014," ...The report added that CIA operatives may have subjected at least 27 detainees in Afghanistan, Poland, Romania and Lithuania to "torture, cruel treatment, outrages upon personal dignity and/or rape" between December 2002 and March 2008....

...Britain is also mentioned in the ICC probe. It says it’s looking into a total of 1,390 victim accounts it received from the NGO European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) and Public Interest Lawyers (PIL). It appeared that 1,071 of those accounts related to alleged ill-treatment of detainees, and another 319 suggested alleged “unlawful killings” committed by the British personnel in Iraq between 2003 and 2008.
“According to PIL, British personnel committed 319 cases of unlawful killings out of which 267 were committed in the course of military operations other than arrest and detention, and 52 were committed against persons in custody of UK authorities,” the ICC said.

US Has Killed More Than 20 Million People in 37 "Victim Nations" Since World War II
“How many September 11ths has the United States caused in other nations since WWII?” ... This theme is developed in this report which contains an estimated numbers of such deaths in 37 nations as well as brief explanations of why the U.S. is considered culpable....
This study reveals that U.S. military forces were directly responsible for about 10 to 15 million deaths during the Korean and Vietnam Wars and the two Iraq Wars....
he American public probably is not aware of these numbers and knows even less about the proxy wars for which the United States is also responsible. In the latter wars there were between nine and 14 million deaths in Afghanistan, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, East Timor, Guatemala, Indonesia, Pakistan and Sudan.
But the victims are not just from big nations or one part of the world. The remaining deaths were in smaller ones which constitute over half the total number of nations. Virtually all parts of the world have been the target of U.S. intervention.
The overall conclusion reached is that the United States most likely has been responsible since WWII for the deaths of between 20 and 30 million people in wars and conflicts scattered over the world....
And the pain and anger is spread even further. Some authorities estimate that there are as many as 10 wounded for each person who dies in wars. ...

Crime of aggression
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_of_aggression
A Crime of Aggression is a specific type of crime where a person plans, initiates, or executes an act of aggression using state military force that violates the Charter of the United Nations. The act is judged as a violation on based on its character, gravity, and scale. Acts of aggression include invasion, military occupation, annexation by the use of force, bombardment, and military blockade of ports. The Crime of Aggression is a crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. ...
In 1998, at the Rome Conference that adopted the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court ("the Statute"), the crime was included as one of the crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court (Article 5.1) and over which any State that becomes party to the Statute accepts the Court’s jurisdiction (Article 12.1)...
Definition: Under the Statute, the definition of "crime of aggression" is stated as follows: ...
War of aggression
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_aggression
A war of aggression, sometimes also war of conquest, is a military conflict waged without the justification of self-defense, usually for territorial gain and subjugation. The phrase is distinctly modern and diametrically opposed to the prior legal international standard of "might makes right", under the medieval and pre-historic beliefs of right of conquest. Since the Korean War of the early 1950s, waging such a war of aggression is a crime under the customary international law. ...
Wars without international legality (e.g. not out of self-defense nor sanctioned by the United Nations Security Council) can be considered wars of aggression; however, this alone usually does not constitute the definition of a war of aggression; certain wars may be unlawful but not aggressive (a war to settle a boundary dispute where the initiator has a reasonable claim, and limited aims, is one example)....

Where Is the Outcry Over Children
Killed by U.S.-Led Forces?
Since 9/11, U.S.-led forces have killed—directly, not indirectly--more than a thousand children in Syria and other war zones around the world. To my mind, each one of these victims should provoke universal horror, pity and condemnation.... U.S. coalition forces killed at least 1,201 children in Iraq alone....
Airwars.org estimates that more recent attacks by U.S.-allied forces against Islamic forces in Iraq and Syria have killed at least 1,239 civilians, including an unknown number of children. According to a recent United Nations report, U.S. and allied forces killed 24 children in Afghanistan in 2014. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism estimates that U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan over the past decade have killed between 172 and 207 children.
These documented cases are just a tiny fraction of all child casualties of U.S.-led attacks... “Most children killed and injured directly by U.S. forces and their allies were killed the same way as their parents: they died when bombs fell; when they were caught in ‘cross-fire’; shot in night raids; shot at check-points and run over by U.S. convoys who speed through the streets and roads. The roadside deaths are often not recorded unless the U.S. gives some compensation to the families.”...
Crawford adds that “the harm to children in war is also indirect--morbidity and mortality due to the destruction of infrastructure which impairs delivery of medical care, makes drinking water unsafe, and makes food scarce.”
Unfortunately, many people react to the killing of children with a shrug or a cheer.
COLLATERAL DAMAGE ISN'T
U.S. kills 60% to 90% unarmed noncombatant civilians in its wars.
Civilian casualty ratio
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualty_ratio
Starting in the 1980s, it was often claimed that 90 percent of the victims of modern wars were civilians....
WW1: The civilian casualty ratio in World War I is therefore approximately 2:3 or 40%.
WW2: According to most sources, World War II was the most lethal war in world history, with some 70 million killed in six years. The civilian to combatant fatality ratio in World War II lies somewhere between 3:2 and 2:1, or from 60% to 67%. The high ratio of civilian casualties in this war was due in part to the increasing effectiveness and lethality of strategic weapons (e.g., biological weapons, chemical weapons, incendiary bombs, nuclear weapons, V-weapons, etc.) which were used to target enemy industrial or population centers, and famines caused by economic disruption.
Korean War: The civilian-combatant death ratio in the war is approximately 2:1 or 67%.
Vietnam War: The civilian-combatant fatality ratio of approximately 2:1, or 67%
Chechen wars: The combined ratio for both wars is 76:10.
NATO in Yugoslavia: the ratio would be between 4:1 and 10:1.
Iraq War: 174,000 casualties only 39,900 were combatants, resulting in a civilian casualty rate of 77%.
US drone strikes in Pakistan: drone strikes may kill "10 or so civilians" for every militant killed, which would represent a civilian to combatant casualty ratio of 10:1. Research published by Reprieve in 2014 suggested that U.S. drone strikes in Yemen and Pakistan have had an unknown person to target casualty ratio of 28:1 with one attack in the study having a ratio of 128:1.
Israeli–Palestinian conflict: resulting in a ratio of approximately 5:1.
Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip: ratio between killed combatants and civilians varies from 1:1 to 1:30.
Israel in the 2008–09 Gaza War: Journalist Yaakov Katz states in The Jerusalem Post that the ratio is 1:3 according to the Israeli figures and 60% civilians (3:2). ... 56 or 74 percent were civilians according to B'Tselem's figures, ... and 65 or 83 percent according to the figures of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights.
1982 Lebanon War: According to the International Red Cross, by the end of the first week of the war alone, some 10,000 people, including 2,000 combatants, had been killed, and 16,000 wounded—a civilian-combatant fatality ratio of 5:1. Lebanese government sources later estimated that by the end of the siege of Beirut, a total of about 18,000 had been killed, an estimated 85% of whom were civilians. This gives a civilian to military casualty ratio of about 6:1.

Firebombing in WWII:
https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/courses/ww2/projects/firebombing/introduction.htm
It might reasonably be assumed that the deadliest weapons aimed at civilians were these atomic bombs; however, this is not the case. Massive firebombing raids in Japanese and German cities consistently killed more civilians than any contemporary nuclear weapon could have. Incendiary munitions, such as firebombs, could—when used in massive numbers over a small area—create a raging inferno which destroyed life and property with greater rapidity than any technology under the control of man. Firebombs were the most devastating weapons of the Second World War.

This Is the Number of Innocent People Murdered by Governments.
Are You Anti-State Yet?
http://reason.com/archives/2014/05/15/be-antigovernment-and-proud
Let's start with a number: 262 million.
That's the number of unarmed people the late Prof. R. J. Rummel estimated governments murdered in mass killings he termed "democide" during the 20th century. "This democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century," ...
Rummel's 1997 book, Power Kills, stated his case most strongly, but he nicely summarized the argument on his website:
"It is true that democratic freedom is an engine of national and individual wealth and prosperity. Hardly known, however, is that freedom also saves millions of lives from famine, disease, war, collective violence, and democide (genocide and mass murder). That is, the more freedom, the greater the human security and the less the violence. Conversely, the more power governments have, the more human insecurity and violence. In short: to our realization that power impoverishes we must also add that power kills."
The conservative Heritage Foundation warns that "the number of criminal offenses in the U.S. Code increased from 3,000 in the early 1980s to 4,000 by 2000 to over 4,450 by 2008." Those laws, originally limited to obvious crimes, now touch on areas of life that most people would never guess to be of interest to prosecutors and law enforcement officers.
Civil liberties attorney Harvey Silverglate made a similar point in his 2009 book, Three Felonies a Day. He says that laws have not only proliferated, but they're applied in unpredictable and arbitrary ways, so that it's virtually impossible for Americans to avoid subjecting themselves to potential arrest, prosecution, and imprisonment. That's to say, you can break a law by accident, and end up behind bars....

In most warfare it is the Innocent Citizens who suffer the collateral damage. Warfare today upto 90% of all deaths are the Innocent non-combatant civilians.
The Government has basically declared war on the American People. Its policies of Law and Order on its own citizens in a Free country are designed in similar fashion as to how it maintains control of people in war torn countries that it has invaded.
It is difficult to give an exact US Civilian casualty report of this Gov't war on its people. But, we can look at Wrongful Convictions, and Police & Gov't killings of US Citizens as a partial indicator. From this, we guesstimate at least 12% Innocent Wrongfully Convicted of Serious crimes, and with 95% of all defendants coerced to plead guilty and misdemeanors given nearly no help it is almost impossible to give any factual data other than to say it must be high. If warfare kills 40% to 90% Innocent civilians we can estimate the range of Innocent US Citizens Wrongfully Convicted for any crime to be within this 40% to 90% range.
In both situations it is the Innocent Citizens who suffer from these Gov't policies of let the Bombs fall where they may, and if we drop enough Bombs we will eventually get a few of the Bad Guys in doing so.

Protection racket
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_racket
A protection racket is a scheme whereby a group provides protection to businesses or other groups through violence outside the sanction of the law—in other words, a racket that sells security, traditionally physical security but now also computer security. Through the credible threat of violence, the racketeers deter people from swindling, robbing, injuring, sabotaging or otherwise harming their clients. Protection rackets tend to appear in markets where the police and judiciary cannot be counted on to provide legal protection, either because of incompetence (as in weak or failed states) or illegality (black markets).
Protection rackets are indistinguishable in practice from extortion rackets, and distinguishable from private security, by some degree of implied threat that the racketeers themselves may attack the business if it fails to pay for their protection. A distinction is possible between a "pure" extortion racket, in which the racketeers might only agree not to attack a business, and a broader protection racket offering some real private security along with some extortion on the side, in which the criminals might agree to defend a business from any attack by either themselves or third parties (other criminal gangs). However, this distinction is moot in reality because extortion racketeers may have to defend their clients against rival gangs if only to avoid losing their cash cows. By corollary, criminal gangs may have to maintain control of territories (turfs), because local businesses don't have enough revenue to feed countless parasites without financially collapsing and thus the parasites must compete for hosts....
Government protection rackets: Government officials may demand bribes to look the other way or extort something of value from citizens or corporations in the form of a kickback. It need not always be money. A lucrative job after leaving office may have been in exchange for protection offered when in office. Payment may also show up indirectly in the form of a campaign contribution. Stopping governments agencies as a whole, and buying protection in the government is called regulatory capture.
(Gubmint Protection Rackets extend to Foreign Nations. Creating dangers for profit. The USA Gubmint picks fights and instigates conflicts with nations in order to sell its Protection Services to other nations.)

Calculating the Millions-High Death Toll of America’s Post-9/11 Wars
In the third and final part of his series, Nicolas JS Davies investigates the death toll of U.S. covert and proxy wars in Libya, Syria, Somalia and Yemen and underscores the importance of comprehensive war mortality studies.... Altogether, in the three parts of this report, I have estimated that America’s post-9/11 wars have killed about 6 million people. Maybe the true number is only 5 million. Or maybe it is 7 million. But I am quite certain that it is several millions....
we have “become the evil we deplore.” But these wars have not been accompanied by fearsome military parades (not yet) or speeches about conquering the world. Instead they have been politically justified by “information warfare” to demonize enemies and fabricate crises, and then waged in a “disguised, quiet, media free” way, to hide their cost in human blood from the American public and the world.
Why didn't the US invade Israel when it used chemical weapons on Palestinians?
Under international law - white phosphorous may be used as a smoke screen but not on civilian populations. Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas in the world and Israel's use of white phosphorous is very clearly being used over civilian areas. Operation Cast Lead resulted in between 1,166 and 1,417 Palestinian and 13 Israeli deaths; 4 of them were from friendly fire. The United Nations conducted an investigation and released the now famous Goldstone report which acknowledged that Israel's use of white phosphorous was indeed a war crime....

US military killed almost 500 civilians in 2017 - Pentagon report
https://www.rt.com/usa/428499-us-killed-500-civilians/
The Pentagon has told Congress that the US military killed almost 500 civilians and injured a further 169 in 2017. The civilians were killed in operations around the world, from Somalia to Yemen to Syria. "[The Department of Defense] assesses that there are credible reports of approximately 499 civilians killed and approximately 169 civilians injured during 2017," reads the Pentagon’s report to Congress, as per CNN. The casualty figures include those killed by airstrikes, and take in operations in Syria, Afghanistan and Yemen. The report did not include figures from Somalia or Libya, as there were “no credible reports” of civilian casualties there. The report added that a further 450 reports of civilian casualties from the same period have yet to be examined.
During the first year of the Trump presidency, bombing operations in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan were all stepped up. 4,361 bombs were dropped in Afghanistan in 2017, compared to 1,337 in 2016. In Iraq and Syria, 39,577 bombs were released in 2017, up from 30,743 in 2016...

'Air and artillery strikes by the US and its allies inflicted devastating loss of life on civilians in the Isis-held city of Raqqa, according to an Amnesty International report. It contradicts claims by the US, along with Britain and France, that they precisely targeted Isis fighters and positions during the four month siege that destroyed large swathes of the city. ...a senior US military officer as saying that “more artillery shells were launched into Raqqa than anywhere since the end of the Vietnam war”.

Putin tells Europe on U.S. trade threat: 'I told you so'
http://mohanews.com/news/putin-tells-europe-on-u-s-trade-threat-i-told-you-so/
MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that he had warned European countries years ago about the risk of the United States imposing its rules on others, and that they were now paying the price for ignoring him.
Speaking during a live television phone-in with the Russian people that lasted over four hours, Putin likened the tariffs that Washington imposed last week on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico and the European Union to economic sanctions.
The president said he had warned in a speech in Munich in 2007 about a growing U.S. sense of exceptionalism and the risk of it imposing its own rules on other countries.
“It appears our partners thought that this would never affect them, this counterproductive politics of restrictions and sanctions. But now we are seeing that this is happening.”
“That is exactly what is happening now. Nobody wanted to listen, and nobody did anything to stop this from developing....

Russia says the United States and its allies have relied on fabricated evidence to accuse the Syrian government of conducting chemical attacks against civilians.
“The US, Britain, France and their allies have misled international community ... relying on fabrications to accuse Syria of violating the chemical weapons ban with Russian assistance,” said Maj. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the chief of the Russian military's radiation, chemical and biological protection unit, at a briefing in the capital Moscow on Friday.
He also accused the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) of violating the Chemical Weapons Convention, saying “the remote nature of investigations as well as the collection, analysis and use of the documents obtained without specialists’ trips to the alleged sites of chemical weapons use is in direct contradiction to the convention’s provisions.”....

The bill’s sponsors argue these provisions will help “ensure that every base and every military region has a plan and the tools they need to fight these horrific crimes.” ...Hundreds of military children are sexually abused every year and the military is doing little about it. An Associated Press (AP) investigation found there were nearly 1,600 “substantiated” sexual abuse cases of military dependents between 2010 and 2014.

It's time for war on abuse
NATO was founded to be prepared militarily against the Warsaw Pact.
At the time that was still credible. But today it is different.
⦁ The Warsaw Pact no longer exists. Gorbachev was assured at the turn that NATO does not spread to the east.
⦁ Since you can not believe the United States and may, submitted at the initiative of the USA, NATO gradually eastward. It began by the machinations with Ukraine. Prayer-like Russia / Putin was unfounded accusations were made, allegations churning of the mass media and the US government, as well as the underground work of Soros, who invested in these planned coup to the 5 billion dollars.
⦁ At the same time marched the "NATO" by order of the United States, to the east. Thus, the targeted upgrade of the "NATO" began. Question at this point, who is the active aggressor.
⦁ NATO has to date now issued a total of 900 billion for upgrading.
⦁ If, compared to the cost of upgrading Russia, namely whole 56 billion. Who has aggressive intentions here?
⦁ With preventive action, the United States has never had what the hat .... It's here how to exploit in all military actions of the United States, only to raw materials.
Who actually feels threatened by Russia of the peoples? ... I feel more before Trump, threatened the United States and the war-mongering NATO.
⦁ How many wars Russia has led to the II WW and how much the United States? ....
⦁ Even it you can see who the real warmongers.
⦁ Germany should withdraw from NATO, seeking peaceful coexistence with Russia and prefer to kick ass the US.
⦁ NATO is now clearly a INTERNATIONAL UNLAWFUL AND ASSOCIATION mafia !!!
Well, who pays the protection money?
⦁ Of course, the countries that are "protected / suppressed" by the United States. "

Syria: US-led Coalition ‘deeply in denial’ about civilian casualties in Raqqa
International spent weeks in Raqqa conducting field investigations – something the Coalition has failed to do – leaving no doubt that the Coalition killed hundreds and injured thousands of civilians during its offensive. In just four cases the organization investigated for its June report, Coalition air strikes killed 70 civilians, mostly women and children – including 39 members of a single family.
14 in Afghan family die in US airstrike
Fourteen members of a family, including three small children, were killed in northern Afghanistan when a US airstrike destroyed their home, several Afghan officials confirmed Friday. In what has become a familiar situation, particularly in Taliban-dominated Kunduz province, Afghan and US officials had initially denied that any civilians had been killed in the strike Thursday, claiming the victims were Taliban fighters. Then the bodies of 11 women and children appeared at the hospital in Kunduz City, about 4 miles from the site of the attack in Chardara district. The Taliban do not have female fighters and the children were very young. Soon after the attack, district officials described the incident as an airstrike that went wrong, in which only civilians were killed. “There were 12 killed and one wounded by American jets in Chardara district, and all casualties are civilians,” ...
Here’s the real reason the US must talk to Russia
http://www.atimes.com/article/heres-the-real-reason-the-us-must-talk-to-russia/
The United States’ industrial-military-intel-security complex profits from a compounded annual budget of roughly US$1 trillion. The only justification for such whopping expenditure is to manufacture a lethal external threat: Russia. That’s the key reason the complex will not allow US President Donald Trump even to try to normalize relations with Russia....
The Soviet Navy, as the Russian Navy today, “was built largely for a single purpose: to prevent a NATO attack on the USSR from the sea.”
Moving to the post-USSR era, it’s inevitable that Russia had to come up with a concerted strategy to counteract the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s relentlessly moving east – a clear violation of the (verbal) agreement between George Bush Senior and Mikhail Gorbachev....
Even as Russia “does have the capability to deal major damage to NATO,” as Martyanov reminds us, “why would Russia attack or damage European countries which are worth way more for Russia free and prosperous than they would be if damaged and, theoretically, subjugated?”...
Martyanov goes all the way to explain how the latest Russian weapons systems present immense strategic – and historical – ramifications. The missile gap between the US and Russia is now “a technological abyss,” with ballistic missiles “capable of trajectories which render any kind of anti-ballistic defense useless.” Star Wars and its derivatives are now – to use a Trumpism – “obsolete.”
The Kinzhal, as described by Martyanov, is “a complete game-changer geopolitically, strategically, operationally, tactically and psychologically.” In a nutshell, “no modern or prospective air-defense system deployed today by NATO can intercept even a single missile with such characteristics.”...

On Israel’s Little-Known Concentration And Labor Camps (1948-1955) – altahrir, news of Islam, Muslims, Arab Spring and special Palestine
Much of the grim and murky circumstances of the Zionist ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the late 1940s have gradually been exposed over time. One aspect – rarely researched or deeply discussed – is the internment of thousands of Palestinian civilians within at least 22 Zionist-run concentration and labor camps that existed from 1948 to 1955....
“The more and more you dig, the more you find there are crimes that have taken place that are not reported and not known.”...All four camps were administered by “former British officers who had defected their rankswhen British forces withdrew from Palestine in mid-May 1948,” and the camp’s guards and administrative staff were former members of the Irgun and the Stern Gang – both groups designated as terrorist organizations by the British before their departure. In total, the four “official” camps were staffed by 973 soldiers....
“[T]he situation of civilian internees was ‘absolutely confused’ with that of POWs, and… Jewish authorities ‘treated all Arabs between the ages of 16 and 55 as combatants and locked them up as prisoners of war.’” – ICRC report, 1948
The number of Palestinian non-combatant detainees “far exceeded” those of Arab soldiers in regular armies or bona fide POWs. ...
The study highlights the statements by an ICRC delegate Emile Moeri in January 1949 of the camp inmates:
It is painful to see these poor people, especially old, who were snatched from their villages and put without reason in a camp, obliged to pass the winter under wet tents, away from their families; those who could not survive these conditions died. Little children (10-12 years) are equally found under these conditions. Similarly sick people, some with tuberculosis, languish in these camps under conditions which, while fine for healthy individuals, will certainly lead to their death if we do not find a solution to this problem. For a long time we have demanded that the Jewish authorities release those civilians who are sick and need treatment to the care of their families or to an Arab hospital, but we have not received a response....
In general, the living conditions in the “official” camps were far below what would be considered appropriate by international law at that time. ...Furthermore, Moeri reported that he saw for himself, “’the wounds left by the abuse’ of the previous week, when the guards had fired on the prisoners, wounding one, and had beaten another.”...Detainees who were combatants, the study explains, were “routinely shot on the pretense that they had been attempting to escape.”...
The wide-scale kidnapping and imprisonment of Palestinian civilians tend to correspond with the Israeli military campaigns. For example, one of the first major roundup occurred during Operation Danj, when 60-70,000 Palestinians were expelled from the central towns of Lydda and Ramleh. At the same time, between a fifth and a quarter of the male population from these two towns who were over the age of 15 were sent to the camps.
The largest round-up of civilians came from villages of central Galilee who were captured during Operation Hiram in the fall of 1948....
Maintaining Israel’s economy with “slave labor”...Palestinian civilian internees constituted an important supplement to the Jewish civilian labor employed under emergency legislation in maintaining the Israeli economy,” which even the ICRC delegation had noted in their reports.
The prisoners were forced to do public and military work, such as drying wetlands, working as servants, collecting and transporting looted refugee property, moving stones from demolished Palestinian homes, paving roads, digging military trenches, burying the dead, and much more....
It would not be until 1955 when most of the Palestinian civilian prisoners would finally be released....The importance of this study is multifaceted. Not only does it reveal the numerousviolations of international law and conventions of the age, such as 1907 Hague Regulations and the 1929 Geneva Conventions, but also shows how the event shaped the ICRC in the long run....
The study essentially shows the foundations and beginnings of Israeli policy towards Palestinian civilians that comes in the form of kidnapping, arrest, and detainment. This criminality continues till this day. One merely has to read the reports on the hundreds of Palestinians arrested prior, during, and after Israel’s latest war on Gaza mid-summer of this year.

Sept. 11 trial judge forbids use of FBI interrogations at Guantánamo
https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/national-security/article216948430.html
The judge in the death-penalty trial of those accused of carrying out the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in the U.S. has ruled that prosecutors may not use key FBI interrogations conducted at the Guantánamo detention center soon after years of CIA black site abuse ended. Under the war court system, confessions must be voluntary. So prosecutors had already pledged not to use what the captives told their CIA interrogators during their years of secret spy agency custody that included torture. Instead, as a substitute, prosecutors had planned to have FBI agents describe what the suspects told them soon after their September 2006 transfers to Guantánamo in supposedly consensual interviews. “Protective Order #4 will not allow the defense to develop the particularity and nuance necessary to present a rich and vivid account of the 3-4 year period in CIA custody the defense alleges constituted coercion,”...prosecutors’ cascading restrictions and threats over trying to find and question potential witnesses of their clients’ torture, notably CIA agents,...The accused plotters were brought to Guantánamo after three and four years of secret detention in the CIA’s secret overseas prison network. There, to get them to spill al-Qaida secrets, CIA agents subjected them to a program of “learned helplessness.” They slammed their captives’ heads into walls, strung them up in painful shackled positions, deprived them of sleep, kept them nude or in diapers, subjected them to dietary manipulation and rectal abuse. Mohammed was water boarded 183 times. FBI agents, taking some directive by the CIA, questioned the five men in their first months at Guantánamo before they were allowed to see lawyers. Defense lawyers had begun to argue that the alleged 9/11 plotters were so systematically broken, that what they told the FBI agents were programmed responses, lacking free will to say anything else. ...Pentagon, Congress and the courts have been weighing in on how to hold a trial by military commission of alleged terrorists who were disappeared into spy agency custody and deprived of defense lawyers and International Red Cross contact for years. The Sept. 11 case has no trial date. The five men were initially charged in June 2008 but then arraigned in May 2012 in this version of the war court.

NATO head Stoltenberg speaks about 1999 bombings on visit to Serbia
https://www.rt.com/news/440616-stoltenberg-serbia-nato-bombing/
Although many people in Serbia hold “painful” memories of NATO’s 1999 bombing of their country, it was, in fact, done precisely to protect them from their own government, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in Belgrade. ...In March 1999, NATO launched airstrikes in what was then Yugoslavia, without the backing of the UN Security Council, after it accused Belgrade of “excessive and disproportionate use of force” ...
During the bombings, NATO dropped “between 10 and 15 tons of depleted uranium, which caused a major environmental disaster” and prompted Serbians to sue NATO over its actions, linking them to a rise in cancer-related illnesses across the region. "In Serbia, 33,000 people fall sick because of this every year. That is one child every day," a member of the international legal team that was preparing the lawsuit told RT in 2017. Back in 2015, Stoltenberg himself expressed "regret" for the civilian casualties of NATO's 1999 bombing.

The offenses covered by the UCMJ include those encompassed by "high crimes and misdemeanors" which covers officials generally, and includes perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming, and refusal to obey a lawful order. It also includes ordinary crimes, but perhaps with different standards of proof and punishment than for civilians, on the grounds that more is expected of military personnel by their oaths of office. Many of the terms used date back to the era during which the code was written....

US ‘war on terror’ claimed half a million lives in Afghanistan, Pakistan & Iraq – study
https://www.rt.com/usa/443585-us-war-on-terror-death-toll/
Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in the so-called US ‘war on terror’ launched following 9/11 in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan alone, a new study says. The real death toll might be even higher, the author warns.
Between 480,000 and 507,000, including civilians, local military and law enforcement forces, militants as well as the US and allied troops have been killed since the US launched what it calls the “war on terror”... Iraq has seen the highest civilian death toll in the war, as between 182,272 and 204,575 civilians died there as a direct result of the US military actions since the 2003 invasion. In Afghanistan and Pakistan the death toll amounts to 38,480 and 23,372, respectively. The US itself lost almost 7,000 soldiers in this war. The report gives the figure of over 100,000 militants killed, but its author Neta Crawford notes that people described like that by local law enforcement or the US military might actually also be civilians. The report, however, covers only a fraction of a real death toll resulting from US actions...
‘US war on terror worst war crime in human history’
America’s so-called war on terror that began 17 years ago has killed millions of people, far greater than official estimates, amounting to a “holocaust” and one of the worst war crimes in human history, a US scholar says.
“Essentially what we’ve seen is a holocaust that’s off the charts, far beyond any World War ll holocaust that’s been covered up,” Barrett told Press TV on Friday. “It’s the worst kind of series of war crimes in all of human history.”
Barrett said the actual casualty figures caused by the US wars were far greater than estimates published by the US government and media, citing research by scholars in Australia.
A study released Thursday shows that the US war on terror has so far killed about 500,000 people...The report said the number of indirect deaths was several times larger than deaths caused by direct war violence, bringing the total death count to well over 1 million people....
Many experts believe that rogue elements within the US government, such as former Vice President Dick Cheney, orchestrated the 9/11 attacks in order to accelerate the US war machine and advance the Zionist agenda.

American detained by Russia was convicted of trying to steal thousands of dollars while deployed to Iraq as a Marine
On Friday, Ireland became the fourth nation to acknowledge Paul Whelan as a citizen, after the United States, Canada, and Britain. The Marine Corps found Paul Whelan, the American citizen detained by Russia on espionage charges, guilty of attempting to steal more than $10,000 worth of currency from the US government while deployed to Iraq in 2006 and bouncing nearly $6,000 worth of checks around the same time, according to records obtained by The Washington Post. The details of the charges against Whelan from a special court-martial that resulted in his discharge for bad conduct two years later add to an increasingly complex picture of the 48-year-old former Marine, whom Russian officials have accused of spying. His case grew more perplexing on Friday after Ireland became the fourth nation to acknowledge him as a citizen and seek consular access....

Aaron Rugh, to suppress some aspects of those witnesses’ expected testimony, particularly the numbers of people Gallagher allegedly bragged about killing.

Another witness said Gallagher told him he killed “three a day” and to “do the math” for the total number he killed....

Woman can't be named in Roberts-Smith case

A woman who accused Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith of assaulting her in Canberra won't be named in a defamation case brought by the decorated soldier against three newspapers. The former corporal in 2018 launched legal action against the Sydney Morning Herald, the Age and the Canberra Times and three journalists who wrote articles about his time serving with the special forces in Afghanistan and also his personal life. Mr Roberts-Smith says the articles contained false allegations about potential war crimes and falsely suggested he'd committed an act of domestic violence against a woman at a Canberra hotel. Publisher Fairfax Media is defending the action in the Federal Court and argued the woman's name should be suppressed to protect her safety.... The court heard the woman was worried if her name was revealed she'd be targeted by people within the military who supported Mr Roberts-Smith...
Damages are capped at $400,000 for each defamation proceeding plus aggravated damages meaning the former SAS soldier could seek more than $1.2 million.

Domestic Violence Charges Challenging for Military Personnel
http://collinsattys.wpengine.com/?p=6565
The incidence of domestic violence in the military has been so high that the Department of Defense has made special and concerted efforts to address this problem over the span of years. Rates of domestic violence are far higher among military families than among members of the general population....She also noted that half of all reported cases were from a female service member abused by a civilian man. ... Perhaps the foremost consideration when an active duty military member is convicted would be the repercussions under the Lautenberg Amendment.

The prime minister arranged for the organization to merge into a somewhat more mainstream party of religious Zionists, the Jewish Home. That pact, announced Wednesday, could easily catapult Otzma Yehudit from the disreputable fringe into Israel’s next governing coalition....
UN report slams US-led airstrikes & record civilian casualties in Afghanistan

A record number of Afghan civilians, mostly women children, were killed in 2018, a new UN report said, pinning the sharp increase on US airstrike rules of engagement, relaxed after almost two decades of futile war. Despite promises from the White House to reduce the number of troops currently stationed in Afghanistan, the 18-years-long American campaign is far from finished and is claiming a record number of civilian lives...

After documenting an 85 percent spike in child casualties from aerial operations in 2017, the UN report stressed that US-led airstrikes have caused the same number of civilian casualties as those inflicted by government forces on the ground.

CIA gave details of 9/11 suspect's secret torture to film-makers, lawyers say
The makers of the film Zero Dark Thirty were given detailed information about the torture of an inmate at a CIA “black site” that had been denied to the prisoner’s own defence counsel at his trial in Guantánamo Bay, his lawyers claim. Members of defence team for Ammar al-Baluchi, undergoing pre-trial proceedings for his alleged role in the 9/11 attacks before a military tribunal at the US base, said they were stunned to see the portrayal of his torture, including beatings, suspension from manacles and waterboarding, in the Oscar-winning 2012 film. The lawyers discovered that in the CIA’s year-long cooperation with the film-makers, the agency shared details of Baluchi’s torture at a secret prison, or black site, which they had been told were too secret to be divulged....The countless arguments over procedure are a source of profound frustration for the families of the nearly 3,000 victims of the 9/11 attacks, a few of whom attend each of the military commission hearings....
The only US conviction of a 9/11 plotter to date has been in federal court in Virginia, where a French citizen, Zacarias Moussaoui, was sentenced to life imprisonment in May 2006.

One request is for Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher of the Navy SEALs, who is scheduled to stand trial in the coming weeks on charges of shooting unarmed civilians and killing an enemy captive with a knife while deployed in Iraq.
The others are believed to include the case of a former Blackwater security contractor recently found guilty in the deadly 2007 shooting of dozens of unarmed Iraqis; the case of Maj. Mathew L. Golsteyn, the Army Green Beret accused of killing an unarmed Afghan in 2010; and the case of a group of Marine Corps snipers charged with urinating on the corpses of dead Taliban fighters....

UN ‘concerned’ about Trump’s exoneration of 3 US servicemen
GENEVA — The UN human rights office says it’s “very concerned” about President Trump’s exoneration of three US servicemen accused of war crimes, calling one pardon in a pending case “particularly troubling.” Office spokesman Rupert Colville said Tuesday the moves “run against the letter and the spirit of international law” requiring accountability for such violations and send a “disturbing signal” to military forces worldwide.
One of the pardons announced Friday went to Major Mathew Golsteyn, a former Green Beret accused of killing a suspected bomb maker in Afghanistan in 2010. Golsteyn believed the man was a legal target and was responsible for an explosion that killed two US Marines. Colville called that pardon “particularly troubling” because it cut short judicial processes. Golsteyn was to stand trial by court-martial in February.

The latest estimate is up from $30.7 trillion in 2018 and $29 trillion in 2017, the first year adjustments were tracked in a concerted way, according to Pentagon figures and a lawmaker who has delved into the accounting morass. The figure dwarfs the $738 billion of defense-related funding in the latest US budget, a spending plan that includes the most expensive weapons systems in the world, including the F-35 jet as well as new aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines.
‘‘Within that $30 trillion is a lot of double, triple, and quadruple counting of the same money as it got moved between accounts,’’ said Todd Harrison, a Pentagon budget expert with the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The Defense Department acknowledged that it failed its first-ever audit in 2018 and then again last year, when it reviewed $2.7 trillion in assets and $2.6 trillion in liabilities. ....Although it gets scant public attention — compared with airstrikes, troop deployments, sexual assault statistics, or major weapons programs —the reliability of the Pentagon’s financial statement is an indication of how effectively the military manages its resources. It receives over half of discretionary domestic spending....The ‘‘combined errors, shorthand, and sloppy record-keeping by DoD accountants do add up to a number nearly 1.5 times the size of the US economy,’’ ...
As an example of how the dollar figures multiply, Sherwood said recognizing $800 million due a contractor in previously unrecorded payments ‘‘requires multiple accounting adjustments that net to $0 but could total over $5 billion’’ in movement between accounts.
The GAO estimated based on a sample that at least 96 percent of 181,947 automatic adjustments made in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 ‘‘didn’t have adequate supporting documentation.’’...

Retired Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher strikes back at SEALs who testified against him
A retired Navy SEAL whose war crimes trial made international news has launched a video attack on former SEAL teammates who accused him of murder, shooting civilians and who testified against him at his San Diego court-martial in June. In a three-minute video posted to his Facebook page and Instagram account Monday, retired Chief Special Operator Edward Gallagher, 40, referred to some members of his former platoon as “cowards” and highlighted names, photos and — for those still on active duty — their duty status and current units, something former SEALs say places those men — and the Navy’s mission — in jeopardy....

The U.S. Military Is Not Ready for a Constitutional Crisis

President Donald Trump openly flouts laws at home, while threatening to destroy cultural sites abroad (a blatant violation of the Geneva Conventions). The faint echo of My Lai grows louder every time the president celebrates a U.S. war criminal. For example, Lieutenant Clint Lorance was convicted by a military jury of ordering his soldiers to murder unarmed civilians, after nine members of his unit testified against him. Lorance was not only pardoned by President Trump, but welcomed as a guest of honor at a political fundraiser....
Indeed, anyone charged with defending the Constitution is morally and legally bound to disobey an illegal order. ...Should that point arrive, those charged with carrying out such orders will bear an enormous burden. From my time in the Navy, and from conversations with those still in uniform, I fear that the American military is not prepared. It has failed, at every turn, to provide those charged with defending the Constitution even the most basic understanding of what it means. The country can, however, begin to correct this. All those who swear an oath to the Constitution should be issued a copy, preferably a pocket version to be carried as a reminder of where their loyalty properly lies. They should receive a basic overview of its structure that includes the relationships among the three branches, and further instruction that treaties such as the Geneva Conventions, ratified by the Senate, are U.S. law. Finally, before swearing their oath, they should have to pass a basic comprehension test.
Suspended head of Holyoke Soldiers’ Home accuses state officials of lying
“There have been widespread reports in the media that state officials were kept in the dark about what was happening at the Soldiers’ Home during the COVID-19 crisis. These reports are false,” Walsh wrote in a statement provided Thursday to the Globe. “We provided updates on a daily basis, sometimes multiple times a day. These updates were by phone, text, email, conference calls and official report forms. These updates were made at various times to the staffs of the Secretary of Veteran Services, the Executive Office of Health and Human Services and the Department of Public Health.”
The accusations come on the same day that the facility reported five new veteran deaths, bringing the death toll to 32. Twenty-eight of those deaths have been linked to the coronavirus. Meanwhile, 69 other veterans have tested positive, seven of whom were negative in the first round of testing. At least 68 staff members also have been infected. One nursing assistant is on a ventilator in intensive care, according to union officials.
“It is very disappointing to me that during this time of unspeakable horror the staffs at EOHH, DVS and DPH have remained silent and have let the lie that they didn’t know what was going on persist," he added. ...

US military says Russia deployed fighter jets to Libya
AFRICOM said the aircraft were likely to provide close air support and offensive fire for the Wagner Group, a Russia-based state-sponsored company that employs mercenaries to fIght alongside the eastern forces of military commander Khalifa Hifter.
Libya was plunged into chaos when a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime dictator Moammar Khadafy in 2011. The country is now split between a government in the east allied with Hifter and one in Tripoli, in the west, supported by the United Nations.
Hifter’s self-styled Libyan Arab Armed Forces launched an offensive to capture Tripoli last year, clashing with an array of militias loosely allied with the UN-supported but weak government there. Hifter is backed by the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Russia, while the Tripoli-allied militias are aided by Turkey, Qatar, and Italy.
In the past two months, Hifter’s forces have lost a string of western towns and a key air base after Turkey stepped up military support for his rivals, sending drones, air defense systems, armored vehicles, and thousands of Syrian mercenaries....
Townsend said neither Hifter’s LAAF nor private military companies “can arm, operate, and sustain these fighters without state support — support they are getting from Russia.”...

Canadian court says border agreement with US violates asylum seekers’ rights
TORONTO — A Canadian court on Wednesday threw out a longstanding deal that has allowed the country to send asylum seekers back to the United States, saying it violates their rights by exposing them to likely detention on the US side. Under the Safe Third Country Agreement, which went into effect in 2004, Canada may turn back asylum seekers attempting to enter from the United States at official border crossings — and vice versa — because both countries recognize each other as safe places.
Justice Ann Marie McDonald wrote in her decision that ‘‘it is not the role of the Court to pass judgment on the U.S. asylum system.’’ But she said the applicants had provided ‘‘significant evidence of the risks and challenges’’ faced by asylum seekers who are returned to the United States. The ruling could add a wrinkle to US-Canada ties and deals a blow to Ottawa, which has long defended the pact as lawful.
Former sailor details misconduct by SEALs pulled from Iraq
https://apnews.com/101efca1d3589f100c4f2262e984aa22
a sailor who attended a Fourth of July barbecue had just been raped by a Navy SEAL on the base. ...“It’s a good ol’ boy’s network.” ...Grace said her friend told her the sex started out consensual in the SEAL’s room, but then he started biting and choking her. Her friend told her that at one point she thought “what is he going to do with my body when he kills me?” because she said he was strangling her so hard she couldn’t breathe.
Grace gingerly asked her if it would be OK to photograph her injuries. She said she lifted her friend’s shirt to find more bruises — on her breast, a shoulder, her stomach. ...
The misconduct has included cocaine use and tampering of drug tests by members of SEAL Team 10 based in Virginia, and last year’s conviction of Navy SEAL Adam Matthews, who was sentenced to one year in military prison for his role in the 2017 hazing-related death of an Army Green Beret in Africa.
The Navy fired three SEAL leaders in the aftermath of the alleged rape on the Iraq air base and charged Special Warfare Operator First Class Adel A. Enayat, an enlisted SEAL, with sexual assault, aggravated assault via strangulation and assault by battery for allegedly biting the victim on the face, according to his charge sheet. He faces a court-martial in November....Enayat, who identifies as “non-white,” cannot get a fair trial because of systemic racism in the military justice system, pointing out that there are no Black judges on the Navy bench....

A Year of Heartbreak and Bloodshed at Fort Hood
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/09/us/fort-hood-deaths-army.html
KILLEEN, Texas — A 20-year-old soldier from the Fort Hood Army Base in Texas was shot at a strip club and died outside a convenience store on the first of March. Thirteen days later, another Fort Hood soldier was shot and killed in a triple homicide that also left his pregnant girlfriend and a former soldier dead. Then in May, a soldier was arrested and accused of breaking into her former boyfriend’s apartment, shooting him and attacking him with a hammer. Six days later, a soldier was shot to death and his Jeep Renegade was found engulfed in flames nearby. In June, the body of a soldier missing since 2019 was discovered in a field. The search for another missing soldier ended later that month when her dismembered body was found near a river. This has been a year of bloodshed and heartbreak at Fort Hood in the central Texas city of Killeen. A string of suicides, homicides, fatal accidents and criminal behavior has left residents at the base and its host city stunned and bewildered, and turned one of the country’s largest military installations into one of the most troubled.
For the 36,500 soldiers at Fort Hood, the homeland has been deadlier than the battlefront. Since 2016, more troops from Fort Hood have died in homicides on and off the sprawling Army base than have died in combat zones....
Iran’s top nuclear scientist killed in attack, state media say
“Terrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today,” Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, wrote on Twitter. “This cowardice — with serious indications of Israeli role — shows desperate warmongering of perpetrators.” Zarif, a U.S.-educated diplomat who is one of Iran’s most recognizable figures, said in the post that the international community — and especially the European Union — should “end their shameful double standards & condemn this act of state terror.” The Pentagon’s former top Middle East policy official, Michael Mulroy, said the death of Fakhrizadeh was “a setback to Iran’s nuclear program.” “He was their senior-most nuclear scientist and was believed to be responsible for Iran’s covert nuclear program,” Mulroy said in an email. “He was also a senior officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and that will magnify Iran’s desire to respond by force.”...

Ex-Mossad chief signals Israel behind Iran nuclear attacks

Biden Tries To Turn Domestic Security Into Partisan Witch Hunt
The day after 9/11, everything changed. Realizing the nation needed a more integrated, holistic approach to domestic security, Congress created the Department of Homeland Security. Combating terrorism became job No. 1.
All this came with a caveat. From the start, Americans remained understandably concerned. Under the wrong leaders, these powerful instruments of public safety could be turned into weapons for partisan action: suppressing free speech, invading privacy, denying the right to assemble peacefully, and persecuting political opponents.
Isn’t that exactly what the Biden administration is now doing?
The warning signs are certainly all there.
Consider how this administration is politicizing the threat of domestic terrorism. Addressing Congress in April, President Joe Biden intentionally labeled "white supremacist" terrorism as the "most lethal terrorist threat" to the United States.
False.
A March 2021 intelligence community assessment says domestic violent extremists of all political stripes pose "an elevated threat." We must remember several serious threats facing the homeland, such as cybersecurity breaches, pandemics, natural disasters, foreign terrorist organizations, and transnational criminal organizations. Each of these causes serious economic damage and loss of life. There is no data or supporting assessment to claim white supremacists are the most lethal threat to the homeland.
Yet, that is exactly what our president asserted.
Nuance matters. Biden wants Americans to pay attention to one threat above all others, and he wants to tie that threat to his political opponents....
The strategy also emphasizes restricting gun rights, which indicates a very politically driven agenda....
One upshot of this insidious partisanship is that many states may cease cooperating with Federal Joint Terrorism Task Forces and end cooperative intelligence sharing. They may fear being recruited into a partisan witch hunt against Biden's political opponents....

US military jury condemns terrorist’s torture and urges clemency
The panel of active-duty officers was brought to Guantánamo Bay this past week to hear evidence and decide a sentence of 25 to 40 years. Deliberations began after Khan spent two hours describing in grisly detail the violence that CIA agents and operatives inflicted on him in dungeonlike conditions in prisons in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and a third country, including sexual abuse and mind-numbing isolation, often in the dark while he was nude and shackled. “Mr. Khan was subjected to physical and psychological abuse well beyond approved enhanced interrogation techniques, instead being closer to torture performed by the most abusive regimes in modern history,”... The panel also responded to Khan’s claim that after his capture in Pakistan in March 2003, he told interrogators everything, but “the more I cooperated, the more I was tortured,” and so he subsequently made up lies to try to mollify his captors....
Khan, 41, was held without access to either the International Red Cross, the authority entrusted under the Geneva Conventions to visit war prisoners, or to a lawyer until after he was transferred to Guantánamo Bay in September 2006. He pleaded guilty in February 2012 to terrorism crimes...

Once weapons were manufactured to fight wars.
Now wars are manufactured to sell weapons.
USA IS A WORLD WIDE TERRORIST, ROGUE, MURDEROUS, AND A CRIMINAL REGIME
"United States is rogue state and a murderous regime".
"United States reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles threatens the entire world with unthinkable loss of human life."
"It is an outrage that some nations would not only trade with such a regime but would arm supply and financially support a country that imperils the world with nuclear conflict.
"No nation on earth has an interest in seeing this band of criminals arm itself with nuclear weapons and missiles.
"The United States government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind a false guise of a democracy. It has turned a wealthy party with a rich history and culture into an economically depleted rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed and chaos. "The longest suffering victims of United State's leaders are in fact its own people...."
"We cannot let a murderous regime continue these destabilising activities while building dangerous missiles and we cannot abide by the agreement if it provides cover for the eventual construction of a nuclear programme."

2018 United States federal budget
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_United_States_federal_budget
The proposed 2018 budget includes $54 billion in cuts to federal departments, and a corresponding increase in defense and military spending.
Department of Defense $574 billion +9%
Department of
Homeland Security $44.1 billion +7%
Department of
Veteran Affairs $78.9 billion +6%
FY 2017 Defense Budget Request Briefing Book
http://armscontrolcenter.org/fy-2016-defense-budget-request-briefing-book/
The U.S. will spend more than $600 billion on the military this year — more than at the height of the Cold War, and more than the next seven nations combined. If the Overseas Contingency Operations (war) account, Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, nuclear warhead production, military aid and interest on military-related national debt are included, the figure reaches $1 trillion. Every year.
For example, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction recently investigated a $3 million contract for a demonstration natural gas station. The final price tag wound up at $42.7 million, $20 million of which was “overhead.” For a gas station. The Pentagon couldn’t explain it, saying those responsible had retired.
The House Armed Services Committee chair, Texas Republican Mac Thornberry, recently proposed taking $18 billion from the Overseas Contingency Operations account to cover an extra 11 F-35 combat aircraft and 14 F-18 fighter-bombers … planes that the Pentagon doesn’t even want. That’s because Thornberry is in thrall to donors such as Lockheed Martin, which runs the troubled F-35 program — the most expensive weapons system in history on a plane that is still unready for combat — and Boeing, which is desperate to keep its F-18 production line open even though the Navy doesn’t want any more.
Thornberry’s $18 billion for unnecessary planes will come from funds for troop training and maintenance of equipment in active war zones.
Then there’s the two dozen foreign military aid programs at $10 billion each. (Those are only the biggest ones. The U.S. actually provides arms and training to 180 of the planet’s 196 countries.) The Pentagon is the only foreign-assistance agency that doesn’t have to submit an annual budget to Congress, so nobody really knows how much the Pentagon is spending overseas, why or with what effect.
To top it all off, the Pentagon plans to spend $1 trillion over the next three decades on new nuclear bombers, submarines and missiles. This will hit our wallets in the mid-2020s, when wildly expensive systems like the F-35 will also be hitting peak production.
Its clear to see whose the Fat Pig in Federal Govt.
Defense spending cumulative with military, law enforcement, homeland, overseas, Justice, and indirect related costs is the biggest source of our misery. American Fear-mongering is stealing us blind.

Pentagon racks up $35 trillion in accounting adjustments in one year
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon made $35 trillion in accounting adjustments last year alone — a total that’s larger than the entire US economy and underscores the Defense Department’s continuing difficulty in balancing its books. The latest estimate is up from $30.7 trillion in 2018 and $29 trillion in 2017, the first year adjustments were tracked in a concerted way, according to Pentagon figures and a lawmaker who has delved into the accounting morass. The figure dwarfs the $738 billion of defense-related funding in the latest US budget, a spending plan that includes the most expensive weapons systems in the world, including the F-35 jet as well as new aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines.
‘‘Within that $30 trillion is a lot of double, triple, and quadruple counting of the same money as it got moved between accounts,’’ said Todd Harrison, a Pentagon budget expert with the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The Defense Department acknowledged that it failed its first-ever audit in 2018 and then again last year, when it reviewed $2.7 trillion in assets and $2.6 trillion in liabilities. ....Although it gets scant public attention — compared with airstrikes, troop deployments, sexual assault statistics, or major weapons programs —the reliability of the Pentagon’s financial statement is an indication of how effectively the military manages its resources. It receives over half of discretionary domestic spending....The ‘‘combined errors, shorthand, and sloppy record-keeping by DoD accountants do add up to a number nearly 1.5 times the size of the US economy,’’ ...
As an example of how the dollar figures multiply, Sherwood said recognizing $800 million due a contractor in previously unrecorded payments ‘‘requires multiple accounting adjustments that net to $0 but could total over $5 billion’’ in movement between accounts.
The GAO estimated based on a sample that at least 96 percent of 181,947 automatic adjustments made in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 ‘‘didn’t have adequate supporting documentation.’’...
Srebrenica: Ratko Mladic’s Sham Trial and Conviction
https://www.globalresearch.ca/srebrenica-ratko-mladics-sham-trial-and-conviction/5619617
The Western-controlled International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was charged with delivering victor’s justice, polar opposite the real thing. In March 2016, it wrongfully convicted Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic on multiple counts of genocide in Srebrenica, war crimes and crimes against humanity, sentencing him to 40 years in prison. At age-71, it was a virtual life sentence. He served as Bosnian Serb Republika Srpska president from 1992 – 1996, part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Alleged genocide at Srebrenica was more myth than massacre. Deaths were hugely inflated, the ICTY established to blame Serbs for war crimes committed by both sides....
Before the alleged July 1995 massacre, falsely claiming 8,000 Muslim Bosniak deaths, Srebrenica-based Muslim forces carried out numerous attacks on nearby Serb villages...A small number alone were detained. Alleged Srebrenica victims reflected lies and half-truths based on what’s known – omitted in official and major media accounts. The 8,000 number included the Red Cross estimate of 3,000 “witnesses” allegedly detained by Bosnian Serbs, along with another 5,000 the Red Cross said “fled Srebrenica,” many to Central Bosnia. They fled for safety and weren’t killed. Years later, forensic teams discovered 2,361 bodies where heavy fighting occurred – including combatants on both sides, not massacred civilians. Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, Karadzic and Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladic were declared guilty by accusation....
“(t)his is all lies. This is a NATO (hanging) court” – dispensing injustice, not the other way around.
“The court was totally biased from the start,” Datco stressed, its ruling certain before proceedings began.
Mladic was falsely charged with two counts of genocide, five counts of crimes against humanity, and four counts of violations of the laws or customs of war, including for the fantasy Srebrenica massacre. The so-called victim count was invented. Thousands of alleged victims weren’t massacred. They fled. Yet they were included in the mythical death toll to inflate it....
Washington during the Clinton co-presidency warrants full responsibility, wanting Yugoslavia raped and balkanized for easier Western control. Slobodan Milosevic was falsely charged with genocide, crimes against humanity, grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions, and violations of the laws or customs of war....

US soldier admits killing unarmed Afghans for sport
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/mar/23/us-soldier-admits-killing-afghans
Army Specialist Jeremy Morlock, 23, told a military court he had helped to kill three unarmed Afghans. "The plan was to kill people, sir," he told an army judge in Fort Lea, near Seattle, after his plea. The case has caused outraged headlines around the world. In a series of videotaped confessions to investigators, some of which have been broadcast on American television, Morlock detailed how he and other members of his Stryker brigade set up and faked combat situations so that they could kill civilians who posed no threat to them. Four other soldiers are still to come to trial over the incidents....

A legal definition of torture
https://www.apt.ch/en/what-is-torture/
Article 1 of the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment is the internationally agreed legal definition of torture:
"Torture means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions."
This definition contains three cumulative elements:
the intentional infliction of severe mental or physical suffering
by a public official, who is directly or indirectly involved
for a specific purpose.
Other international and regional treaties, as well as national laws, can contain broader definitions of torture, covering a wider range of situations. ...
Torture
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture
the act of deliberately inflicting severe physical or psychological suffering on someone by another...
Reasons for torture can include punishment, revenge, extortion, persuasion, political re-education, deterrence, coercion of the victim or a third party, interrogation to extract information or a confession irrespective of whether it is false, or simply the sadistic gratification of those carrying out or observing the torture. Alternatively, some forms of torture are designed to inflict psychological pain or leave as little physical injury or evidence as possible while achieving the same psychological devastation....
Although torture is sanctioned by some states, it is prohibited under international law and the domestic laws of most countries. Although widely illegal and reviled, there is an ongoing debate as to what exactly is and is not legally defined as torture...
UN Convention Against Torture
The United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which is currently in force since 26 June 1987, provides a broad definition of torture. Article 1.1 of the UN Convention Against Torture reads:
For the purpose of this Convention, the term "torture" means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him, or a third person, information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in, or incidental to, lawful sanctions.
This definition was restricted to apply only to nations and to government-sponsored torture and clearly limits the torture to that perpetrated, directly or indirectly, by those acting in an official capacity, such as government personnel, law enforcement personnel, medical personnel, military personnel, or politicians. It appears to exclude: torture perpetrated by gangs, hate groups, rebels, or terrorists who ignore national or international mandates; random violence during war; and punishment allowed by national laws, even if the punishment uses techniques similar to those used by torturers such as mutilation, whipping, or corporal punishment when practiced as lawful punishment. Some professionals in the torture rehabilitation field believe that this definition is too restrictive and that the definition of politically motivated torture should be broadened to include all acts of organized violence. ...
Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture
The Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture, which is in force since 28 February 1987, defines torture more expansively than the United Nations Convention Against Torture. Article 2 of the Inter-American Convention reads:
For the purposes of this Convention, torture shall be understood to be any act intentionally performed whereby physical or mental pain or suffering is inflicted on a person for purposes of criminal investigation, as a means of intimidation, as personal punishment, as a preventive measure, as a penalty, or for any other purpose. Torture shall also be understood to be the use of methods upon a person intended to obliterate the personality of the victim or to diminish his physical or mental capacities, even if they do not cause physical pain or mental anguish.
The concept of torture shall not include physical or mental pain or suffering that is inherent in or solely the consequence of lawful measures, provided that they do not include the performance of the acts or use of the methods referred to in this article.
U.S. Code § 2340
Title 18 of the United States Code contains the definition of torture in 18 U.S.C. § 2340, which is only applicable to persons committing or attempting to commit torture outside of the United States. It reads:
As used in this chapter—
(1) “torture” means an act committed by a person acting under the color of law specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control;
(2) “severe mental pain or suffering” means the prolonged mental harm caused by or resulting from—
(A) the intentional infliction or threatened infliction of severe physical pain or suffering;
(B) the administration or application, or threatened administration or application, of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or the personality;
(C) the threat of imminent death; or
(D) the threat that another person will imminently be subjected to death, severe physical pain or suffering, or the administration or application of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or personality; and
(3) “United States” means the several states of the United States, the District of Columbia, and the commonwealths, territories, and possessions of the United States.

Soldier pardoned by Trump responds to Joe Biden's criticism of the president: 'Toeing the party line'

During his first interview since being released from Fort Leavenworth prison after President Trump granted him clemency last week, Army Lt. Clint Lorance responded to 2020 presidential hopeful Joe Biden's criticism of his pardon on "Fox & Friends" Monday.
He said the former vice president doesn't believe his own words.
Lorance served six years of a 19-year sentence for second-degree murder after he ordered soldiers to open fire on three motorcycle riders in Afghanistan in 2012. Several of his platoon members later testified against him before he was convicted. The president took an interest in Lorance's case, but Biden claimed Trump violated the law when he issued the pardon.
"Trump's intervention in the American military justice system to pardon service members accused or convicted of war crimes betrays the rule of law, the values that make our country exceptional & the men and women who wear the uniform honorably," Biden tweeted Sunday. "He is not fit to command our troops."...

US kills powerful Iranian general in airstrike; Iran threatens ‘harsh retaliation’
...called the strike “an act of state terrorism and violation of Iraq’s sovereignty."...
Oil prices surged on news of the killing and markets were mixed.
The Defense Department said it killed Soleimani because he “was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region." It also accused Soleimani of approving the orchestrated violent protests at the US Embassy in Baghdad earlier this week.
The airport strike also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of Iran-backed militias in Iraq known as the Popular Mobilization Forces. A PMF official said the strike killed a total of eight people, including Soleimani's son-in-law, whom he did not identify.
Trump was vacationing on his estate in Palm Beach, Florida, but sent out a tweet of an American flag....
It’s unclear what legal authority the US relied on to carry out the attack. American presidents claim broad authority to act without the approval of the Congress when US personnel or interests are facing an imminent threat. The Pentagon did not provide evidence to back up its assertion that Soleimani was planning new attacks against Americans....
“I think the Iranians are shocked now, the Russians, the Chinese, no one would believe Trump would do that,” he said, adding that Iran, in the short run, was likely to retaliate against the US or its allies, and possibly against Israel. But he said in the long run, the loss of Soleimani — who had also been on Israel's radar for some time — would weaken Iran's capabilities across the region....
US officials say the Guard under Soleimani taught Iraqi militants how to manufacture and use especially deadly roadside bombs against US troops after the invasion of Iraq. Iran has denied that.
Soleimani's killing follows the New Year's Eve protests orchestrated by Iran-backed militias at the US Embassy in Baghdad, which were not related to the anti-government demonstrations....

As tensions with Iran escalated, Trump opted for an extreme measure
Trump made the decision, senior officials said Saturday, despite disputes in the administration about the significance of what some officials said was a new stream of intelligence that warned of threats to US embassies, consulates, and military personnel in Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon. Soleimani had just completed a tour of his forces in Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq, and was planning an “imminent” attack that could claim hundreds of lives, those officials said....
But some officials voiced private skepticism about the rationale for a strike on Soleimani... According to one US official, the new intelligence indicated “a normal Monday in the Middle East” — Dec. 30 — and Soleimani’s travels amounted to “business as usual.”
That official described the intelligence as thin and said that Soleimani’s attack was not imminent because of communications the United States had between Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Soleimani showing that the ayatollah had not yet approved any plans by the general for an attack. The ayatollah, according to the communications, had asked Soleimani to come to Tehran for further discussions at least a week before his death....
Tears from ayatollah as Iran mourns dead general
President Trump: The president had repeatedly threatened to retaliate for any attacks against American interests by ordering airstrikes against as many as 52 potential targets, one for each of the American hostages held after the seizure of the US embassy in Tehran in 1979. In response, Iran’s moderate president, Hassan Rouhani, on Monday offered his own numerology. “Those who refer to the number 52 should also remember the number 290,” he said on Twitter, a reference to the 290 people killed in 1988 in the accidental downing of an Iranian airliner by a US warship. “Never threaten the Iranian nation,” Rouhani added....

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Mark T.

Esper acknowledged that striking cultural sites with no military value would be a war crime, putting him at odds with the president, who insisted such places would be legitimate targets.

Use of medical helicopter to target protesters is under investigation, National Guard says
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2020/06/02/helicopter-protest-dc
On the battlefield, the roar of helicopter blades paired with a red cross is salvation for wounded troops and civilians. But the thwomping blades of military helicopters, including one with red cross markings, were part of a low-flying show of force over Washington’s streets Monday night — an incident now under investigation. Numerous videos on social media showed an unarmed Lakota medevac helicopter hovering over demonstrators. Its red cross markings, visible on the aircraft’s belly and side, was flown by the Washington D.C. Army National Guard. At least two helicopters roared overhead, sending people and debris flying. The use of a helicopter with red cross markings was an abuse of global norms that could help erode its neutral symbolism, military justice experts said....
The National Guard has been used to augment police across the country, defense officials have insisted, including 18,000 Guard members in 29 states and the District mobilized in response to unrest after the death in police custody of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week. The use of a helicopter’s rotor wash, the downward rush of air from its rotors, is a common military tactic to incite fear, disperse crowds and warn of other capabilities, like rockets and guns, said Kyleanne Hunter, a former Marine Corps pilot who flew Cobra attack helicopters in Iraq and Afghanistan.... “Misuse of the red cross symbol is prohibited even during peacetime by the First Geneva Convention, to which the U.S. is a party,” ...
How Police Departments Embraced Firing Tear Gas on Protesters
https://slate.com/business/2020/06/tear-gas-police-wwi-george-floyd.html
Over the past week, police across the country have responded violently to protests against the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police—with rubber bullets, with batons, and, in city after city, with tear gas. On Saturday, a college student lost his right eye after police allegedly shot a tear gas canister at his face during a protest in Fort Wayne, Indiana. At the same demonstration, a 3-year-old was also reportedly hit with a cloud of tear gas after getting caught in the crossfire. On Sunday, Massachusetts General Hospital had to set up a hazmat tent in Boston in order to treat tear gas victims, as did volunteers in Minneapolis. Tear gas, a class of substances that sting the mucus membranes of the eyes and irritate the upper respiratory tract, emerged largely as a wartime weapon a century ago. How did it find its way to police departments?
Tear gas made its debut in trench warfare during World War I as the first chemical agent to be used in the war, according to an article tracing its transition from a military to domestic technology... In the ensuing decades, tear gas would play a central role in quashing protests related to overdue wartime payments from World War I in the 1930s, the Vietnam War in the 1960s, the World Trade Organization in the 1990s, and Occupy Wall Street in the 2010s. Though several international treaties have prohibited use of tear gas in war, governments around the world still regularly use it on their own people.

The innocent victims of Germany's postwar Soviet special camps
https://www.dw.com/en/germany-postwar-soviet-special-camps/a-54759064
During the Soviet occupation of eastern Germany, Nazi war criminals were held in "special camps." But many innocent people were also imprisoned, often on flimsy charges, and many of them perished.... Torgau was one of 10 "special camps" established by the Soviet Union between 1945 and 1950, while occupying eastern Germany after World War II. The Western powers also built camps to house high-ranking Nazis and other war criminals in order to hold them accountable for their atrocities, as agreed to with the Soviets.
However, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin and his secret services had something else in mind from the beginning: They wanted to quash any protest or resistance to the establishment of a communist dictatorship in what was to become East Germany. As a result, thousands of innocent people were ultimately sent to the Soviet special camps....
As cynical as it sounds, Wichmann was one of the lucky ones. Around one-third of the 176,000 prisoners did not survive the torture they endured, according to the latest estimates. "They starved, they died from deficiency diseases such as tuberculosis or dysentery," Anna Kaminsky, who heads a government-funded foundation studying East Germany's communist dictatorship, told DW. She began studying the Soviet special camps shortly after the 1989/90 peaceful revolution that brought down the East German regime....
Anyone who expressed doubt or reported on the conditions in the camps was guilty of "agitation" and "slander."...They were convicted on flimsy charges as teenagers in 1945 and sentenced to lengthy prison terms, which they served at multiple special camps....
After the fall of East Germany, mass graves containing 7,000 dead were discovered at Sachsenhausen. The victims were not former concentration camp prisoners, but rather inmates of the special camp built at the same site. ... "One serious difference was the targeted mass murder, which was specific to concentration camp terror." However, Drecoll added that it was also clear that thousands of people died from hunger and illness in Soviet special camps....

North Dakota Air Force rape case reaches US Supreme Court; justices could rule on time limits in military cases
FARGO — The U.S. Supreme Court will decide if there is no time limit in pursuing criminal charges for military rape allegations that are more than 15 years old, including one from a North Dakota Air Force Base. Justices heard on Tuesday, Oct. 13, arguments revolving around the conviction of three airmen, including Air Force Lt. Col. Humphrey Daniels III. He was sentenced in 2017 to three years in prison for raping a 29-year-old college student in 1998 in Minot, N.D., when he was stationed at Minot Air Force Base. At question is whether the statute of limitations ran out for prosecutors to seek charges against Daniels, Master Sgt. Richard Collins and Lt. Col. Michael Briggs. In citing previous cases, the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces ruled that allegations from before 2006 could only be charged if they were prosecuted within five years of the sexual assaults. That overruled a general understanding that military rape cases had no statute of limitations because they were considered capital offenses. If the Supreme Court reverses the lower court’s ruling, it would allow people to bring forth decades-old sexual assault allegations against military members.... “The question here is whether three convicted rapists will go scot-free inside the military,” Wall said. ...

The US Navy routinely has tense encounters with the Revolutionary Guard, whose speed boats race alongside American warships in the Persian Gulf and sometimes conduct live-fire drills with machine guns and missile launches in their presence.

Iran's regular navy largely operates in the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.... “Any suggestion to the otherwise is categorically false,” Miryousefi said. “The question that should be raised is, what is the US Navy doing 7,000 miles from its territorial waters?”... Still, Paparo’s remarks carried a clear warning, quoting former US Defense secretary Jim Mattis at one point. “Be polite, be professional, and have a plan to kill everyone in the room,” he said. “That’s how we conduct ourselves at sea.”

So the Pentagon officials agreed on an unusual strategy: They held back their recommendations until after the November elections, betting that if Joe Biden won, he and his aides would be more supportive of the Pentagon picks than Trump, who had feuded with Esper and has a history of disparaging women. ...
“They were chosen because they were the best officers for the jobs, and I didn’t want their promotions derailed because someone in the Trump White House saw that I recommended them or thought DOD was playing politics,” Esper said in an interview, referring to the Department of Defense. “This was not the case. They were the best qualified. We were doing the right thing.”...
The strategy may soon pay off. In the next few weeks, Esper’s successor, Lloyd Austin, and Milley are expected to send the delayed recommendations to the White House, where officials are expected to endorse the nominations and formally submit them to the Senate for approval. ...
Report: US wasted billions on cars, buildings in Afghanistan
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/03/01/world/report-us-wasted-billions-cars-buildings-afghanistan
The United States wasted billions of dollars in war-torn Afghanistan on buildings and vehicles that were either abandoned or destroyed, according to a report released Monday by a US government watchdog. The agency said it reviewed $7.8 billion spent since 2008 on buildings and vehicles. Only $343.2 million worth of buildings and vehicles “were maintained in good condition,” said the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, or SIGAR, which oversees American taxpayer money spent on the protracted conflict. The report said that just $1.2 billion of the $7.8 billion went to pay for buildings and vehicles that were used as intended.... The reasons for the financial losses include Taliban attacks, corruption, and “throwing money at the problem without considering the implications,”... The waste occurred in violation of “multiple laws stating that US agencies should not construct or procure capital assets until they can show that the benefiting country has the financial and technical resources and capability to use and maintain those assets effectively,”...“feeds into the Taliban narrative that the government is corrupt, incompetent, and incapable of providing for the Afghan people,”
UN rights chief: Israeli strikes in Gaza may be war crimes
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/05/27/world/un-rights-chief-israeli-strikes-gaza-may-be-war-crimes
The revised text calls on states to refrain from “transferring arms” — the recipients were not specified — when they assess “a clear risk” that such weapons might be used to commit serious violations of human rights or humanitarian law. That appeared aimed to countries that ship weapons to Israel. “Today’s shameful decision is yet another example of the UN Human Rights Council’s blatant anti-Israel obsession,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement. “This travesty makes a mockery of international law and encourages terrorists worldwide.” The Palestinian Authority welcomed the resolution, saying it amounted to “international recognition of Israel's systemic oppression and discrimination against the Palestinian people.”... China and Russia were among those voting in favor. Several Western and African countries voted no.... Israel had called on “friendly” countries to oppose the meeting, and the United States — while not a member of the 47-member state body — did not take part, even in its status as an observer state. An array of countries denounced the latest violence and urged efforts to address the roots of the Mideast conflict....
The 11-day war killed at least 248 in Gaza, including 66 children and 39 women. In Israel, 12 people also died, including two children. “Air strikes in such densely populated areas resulted in a high level of civilian fatalities and injuries, as well as the widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure," Bachelet said. “Such attacks may constitute war crimes,” she added, if deemed to be indiscriminate and disproportionate in their impact on civilians.... Bachelet said Hamas’s indiscriminate rocket fire during the conflict was also a clear violation of the rules of war, and she derided the group’s tactics that included locating military assets in densely populated civilian areas, and firing rockets from them.
"These rockets are indiscriminate and fail to distinguish between military and civilian objects, and their use, thereby, constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law,” Bachelet said. “However, the actions of one party do not absolve the other from its obligations under international law.”... Riad al-Maliki, the Palestinian foreign minister, sought to highlight years of suffering by Palestinians in the lands controlled or occupied by Israel. “The Israeli war machinery and terrorism of its settlers continue to target our children who face murder, arrest, and displacement, deprived of a future in which they can live in peace and security,” al-Maliki said.

US allies drive much of world’s democratic decline, data shows
With few exceptions, US-aligned countries saw almost no democratic growth in that period, even as many beyond Washington’s orbit did. The findings are reflected in data recorded by V-Dem, a Sweden-based nonprofit that tracks countries’ level of democracy across a host of indicators, and analyzed by The New York Times. The revelations cast democracy’s travails, a defining trend of the current era, in sharp light. They suggest that much of the world’s backsliding is not imposed on democracies by foreign powers, but rather is a rot rising within the world’s most powerful network of mostly democratic alliances. In many cases, democracies such as France or Slovenia saw institutions degrade, if only slightly, amid politics of backlash and distrust. In others, dictatorships like Bahrain curtailed already modest freedoms. But, often, the trend was driven by a shift toward illiberal democracy. In that form of government, elected leaders behave more like strongmen and political institutions are eroded...

Police killing of Colorado 'hero' illustrates issues cops face in regulating concealed guns
https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/17/us/concealed-open-carry-guns-police/index.html
(CNN)The police killing of a Colorado man praised as a hero for preventing a mass shooting earlier this year illustrates how laws that allow the concealed or open carry of guns in public complicate police response to shootings.
Police say that John Hurley, 40, confronted Ronald Troyke after he shot and killed Officer Gordon Beesley in the west Denver suburb of Arvada. Investigators recovered a document written by Troyke with statements revealing his intent to kill police officers, including, "Today I will kill as many Arvada officers as I possibly can."
The local prosecutor announced last week that responding Arvada Police Officer Kraig Brownlow will not face criminal charges for fatally shooting Hurley, who was holding a handgun and Troyke's AR-15 when Brownlow shot and killed him.
In a letter laying out their decision, prosecutors said that while Hurley's acts "were nothing short of heroic," the facts from Brownlow's point of view show that he did not know or could not have known of officer's death or of Hurley's "role in eliminating the threat" posed by Troyke. The incident underscores how laws allowing people who legally own a firearm to carry it openly in public or carry it in a concealed manner, pose an increased risk to public safety.
"If there is a weapon of any sort, not just guns, in somebody's hands when we respond in a situation like an active shooter or an assault in progress ... officers have additional pressures placed upon (them) to evaluate an awful lot of info in a short period of time and hopefully arrive at the correct answer to mitigate danger to everyone involved," said Thor Eells, executive director of the National Tactical Officer Association.
"Now as a responding officer, I have to very quickly, and when I say quickly: seconds, milliseconds; make a determination in my mind, is this a friend or foe type of thing," he said....

US military launches investigation after possible civilian casualties in Syria strike targeting al Qaeda leader
https://www.kmbc.com/article/us-military-syria-strike-al-qaeda-leader/38427656#
U.S. Central Command has launched an investigation after a drone strike against a senior al Qaeda leader in northwest Syria on Friday may have killed civilians, according to a spokesman for Central Command.The strike in Idlib, Syria, was carried out by an MQ-9 Reaper, targeting a senior al Qaeda leader and planner, Capt. Bill Urban said in a statement.... In September, the military carried out another strike in northwest Syria targeting a senior al Qaeda leader.The acknowledgment of potential civilian casualties and the immediate opening of an investigation comes after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a review of a strike in Syria in March 2019, which the Pentagon only recently admitted had killed civilians. In mid-November, U.S. Central Command acknowledged for the first time that previously undisclosed airstrikes in Syria carried out days before the fall of ISIS in 2019 killed multiple civilians, including women and children....

No US troops will be punished for deadly Kabul strike, Pentagon chief decides
WASHINGTON — None of the military personnel involved in a botched drone strike in Kabul that killed 10 civilians will face any kind of punishment...The Pentagon acknowledged in September that the last US drone strike before American troops withdrew from Afghanistan was a tragic mistake that killed the civilians, including seven children, after initially saying it had been necessary to prevent an Islamic State attack on troops. A subsequent high-level investigation into the episode found no violations of law but stopped short of fully exonerating those involved... In two decades of war against shadowy enemies like al-Qaida and the Islamic State group, the US military has killed hundreds, if not thousands, of civilians by accident in war zones like Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Somalia. And while the military from time to time accepts responsibility for an errant airstrike or a ground raid that harms civilians, rarely does it ever hold specific individuals accountable....

Internal investigation of domestic violent extremism reveals four sympathizers inside DHS
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/domestic-violent-extremism-inside-department-of-homeland-security/
A nearly 11-month probe by the Department of Homeland Security into domestic violent extremism (DVE) in its ranks uncovered four incidents of active participation or support for violent extremist activity among employees at the agency since 2019.
But the report also revealed that the government arm responsible for tracking terrorist threats to the homeland "has not adopted an authoritative definition of 'domestic violent extremist' that can be incorporated" into DHS policies and guidance."...
The working group's initial search identified 35 allegations of potentially violent extremist activity between October 2018 and July 2021 in the department's ranks, which boasts more than 250,000 personnel. Investigators ultimately determined only four incidents involved "active participation or support for violent extremist activity," while the other 31 allegations were deemed unsubstantiated or miscategorized...
But among the four identified in the audit is former Coast Guard lieutenant, Christopher Hasson, who was accused of compiling a hit list of Democratic politicians and media personalities in February 2019. The self-described "long-time White Nationalist" was later sentenced to over 13 years in prison after agents uncovered several firearms, including a silencer, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition at his home.... Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin issued a service-wide, 60-day "stand down" within the U.S. military. At least 82 current or former military members have been arrested in relation to the attack on the Capitol on January 6. About 100 current service members participated in prohibited extremist activity in 2021, Pentagon officials said...
Friday's report failed to identify specific extremist groups by name, but sorted allegations into the following categories:
racially or ethnically motivated domestic violent extremism
animal rights/environmental-related domestic violent extremism
abortion-related domestic violent extremism
anti-government/anti-authority domestic violent extremism\
all other domestic terrorism-related threats
He acknowledged the challenges of policing extremist activity while safeguarding the First Amendment rights of employees, but stressed "all speech is not necessarily protected."...
Moving forward, recommendations in Friday's report will not cover the 48,000 members of the Coast Guard, who sit under the purview of DHS but will be separately considered by the Pentagon's review of domestic violent extremism. The working group has tasked DHS with establishing rules and guidelines for its approximately 170,000 contractors...

US pushes Russia toward default by blocking debt payments
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen testified before the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee hearing May 10 on Capitol Hill in Washington. The US will close the last avenue for Russia to pay back its billions in debt to international investors on Wednesday, making a Russian default on its debts for the first time since the Bolshevik Revolution all but inevitable.... The Treasury Department said in a notification that it does not plan to renew the license to allow Russia to keep paying its debtholders through American banks. Moscow has tried to avoid a default — a breach of its national debt commitments — since launching the war in Ukraine.
The Biden administration imposed sanctions on Russia’s central bank shortly after the start of the war, but it issued a special license exempting bond payments, allowing Russia to continue to pay its loan obligations. But that license was set to expire this week, and the Treasury Department is now saying it will not be renewed. That means American banks will not be able to process debt payments when Russia tries to make them. In total, the Russian government owes about $20 billion worth of bonds, mostly in dollars, and it owes about $500 million in interest payments over the next month,...

Sensitive Iranian military site was targeted in attack

Mourners surround the truck carrying the coffin of Col. Hassan Sayyad Khodaei during his funeral in Tehran, Iran, on Tuesday, May 24, 2022.
A drone strike this week targeted a highly sensitive military site outside Tehran, where Iran develops missile, nuclear, and drone technology, according to three Iranians with knowledge of the attack and to a US official. The strike Wednesday evening hit the site of the Parchin military complex, about 37 miles southeast of the capital, with quadcopter suicide drones, according to the Iranian sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly. The drones exploded into a building used by the Ministry of Defense for research on drone development, killing an engineer who worked at the ministry and injuring another person, they said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the attack fit a pattern of past Israeli strikes on Iran and Lebanon in a covert campaign of hostility that has been going on for years. A statement from Iran’s Ministry of Defense indicated that it viewed this as an attack, not an accident. Israeli officials refused to comment. A US official confirmed that suicide drones had attacked Parchin but did not say who was behind it or offer any further details. On Sunday, just a few days before the strike on Parchin, a colonel in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard was gunned down in Tehran, and Israel told the United States that it was behind his killing, according to one intelligence official. The Israelis intended it as a warning to Iran to stop targeting Israeli citizens abroad, the official said....

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia took aim Sunday at Western military supplies for Ukraine, launching airstrikes on Kyiv that it claimed destroyed tanks donated from abroad, as Vladimir Putin warned that any Western deliveries of longer-range rocket systems would prompt Moscow to hit “objects that we haven’t yet struck.”
The Russian leader’s cryptic threat of military escalation did not specify what the new targets might be. It came days after the United States announced plans to deliver $700 million of security assistance for Ukraine that includes four precision-guided, medium-range rocket systems, as well as helicopters, Javelin anti-tank systems, radars, tactical vehicles and more....

Report: ‘Perpetual’ Israeli occupation at root of violence
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/06/07/world/report-perpetual-israeli-occupation-root-violence
GENEVA — Investigators commissioned by the United Nations’ top human rights body say tensions between Palestinians and Israelis are underpinned by Israel’s “perpetual occupation” of Palestinian areas with no apparent intention of ending it.
The findings came Tuesday in the first report by a Commission of Inquiry, headed by a three-person team of human rights experts. It was set up last year by the UN-backed Human Rights Council following an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The UN human rights office says the war killed at least 261 people — including 67 children — in Gaza, and 14 people, including two children, in Israel....
“What has become a situation of perpetual occupation was cited by Palestinian and Israeli stakeholders to the commission as the one common issue” that amounts to the “underlying root cause” of recurrent tensions, instability, and protracted conflict, the authors wrote. They said, “impunity” for perpetrators of violence was feeding resentment among Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza, and east Jerusalem.
Israel’s government, which opposed the creation of the commission, refused to grant its members access to Israel or Palestinian territories, and testimonies from Palestinians and Israelis were collected from Geneva and Jordan....

“Anyone who is seriously addressing the North Korean problem has long understood that it’s futile to expect Pyongyang to unconditionally disarm under the threat of a spiral of sanctions,” she said. “The creation of new military blocs in the regions such as the formation of the US-Great Britain and Australia casts serious doubt on the good intentions of these countries,” including in Pyongyang.
North Korea’s UN Ambassador Kim Song denounced all UN sanctions and the proposed US resolution as “illegal,” saying they violate the UN Charter and his country’s right to self-defense to prepare for any potential security crisis on the Korean peninsula and in the region.
Modernizing the DPRK’s armaments is essential, he said, to safeguard North Korea’s interests “from direct threat of the United States,” which he insisted has made no move “to abandon its hostile policy.”

United States foreign policy and the causes of dislike of Americans in other countries....The book consists of 91,000 interviews that were conducted in 50 countries and collected by the Pew Foundation and other organizations. They find that Americans are unique and the differences of viewpoint between Americans and others on a range of topics, including happiness, religious conviction and individualism, are striking. The authors said they believed anti-Americanism usually concerns US government policies, and the world had always "held Americans in higher esteem than America". But today, non-Americans are "increasingly equating the US people with the US government"....

ISFRAUD AND UNITED SLAVES ASSASSINATES MORE IRANIAN SCIENTISTS IN ITS ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ACTS
Iran suspects Israel killed two scientists with poison
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/06/13/world/iran-suspects-israel-killed-two-scientists-with-poison
One of them, Ayoub Entezari, was an aeronautical engineer who worked for a military research center, and the other, Kamran Aghamolaei, was a geologist.
Compounding the mystery behind their deaths, Israeli media and Persian news channels abroad reported that Aghamolaei worked at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility. But friends denied that, and said he worked for a private geological research company...
If, as Iran suspects, these mysteriously similar deaths were targeted killings, it would fit the pattern of a shadow war with Israel that has seen both sides strike each other with just enough secrecy to avoid a full-blown war.
Now that shadow war appears to be intensifying. In the past two weeks alone, a series of deaths linked to Israel have rattled Iran. Israel appears to have broadened its targets from senior figures connected to the nuclear program to military personnel and lower-level scientists....
The quickening pace of attacks in Iran, taken together with recent comments by Israeli leaders, suggest a shift in Israel’s strategy.
“The past year has been a year of changing course in Israel’s strategy vis-à-vis Iran,” said Prime Minister Naftali Bennett of Israel on Tuesday at a meeting of the parliamentary foreign affairs and defense and foreign affairs committee. “We have shifted into a higher gear. We are acting at all times and places, and we will continue to do so.”
Over the past two weeks in Iran, a senior member of the powerful Revolutionary Guard, Sayad Khodayee, was targeted and killed in a drive-by shooting in Tehran. A young Defense Ministry engineer was killed in a drone attack. And another senior member of the Revolutionary Guard fell suspiciously to his death from a balcony.
Then, the two scientists died....

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/04/world/putins-russia-arrests-are-spreading-quickly-widely
The flurry of arrests across the country in recent days has signaled that the Kremlin is intent on tightening the noose around Russian society even further. It appears to be a manifestation of Putin’s declaration in the early weeks of his war in Ukraine that Russia needed to cleanse itself of pro-Western “scum and traitors,” and it is creating an unmistakable chill. ... Putin has said as much himself. In the speech in March in which he railed about the traitors in Russia’s midst, he called out those who physically reside in Russia but live in the West “in their thoughts, in their slave-like consciousness.” He is also increasingly asserting that truly patriotic Russians must be committed to living and working in Russia. He told an economic conference in St. Petersburg last month that “real, solid success and a feeling of dignity and self-respect only occurs when you tie your future and your children’s future to your Motherland.” ...

Ukraine’s military used US-supplied rocket launchers to strike the prison in Olenivka, a settlement controlled by the Moscow-backed Donetsk People’s Republic. Separatist authorities and Russian officials said the attack killed 53 Ukrainian POWs and wounded another 75. Moscow opened a probe into the attack, sending a team to the site from Russia’s Investigative Committee, the country’s main criminal investigation agency. The state RIA Novosti agency reported that fragments of US-supplied precision High Mobility Artillery Rocket System rockets were found at the site.... Ukraine decided to strike the prison to prevent captives from revealing key military information. Ukraine “knew exactly where they were being held and in what place,” he said. ‘’After the Ukrainian prisoners of war began to talk about the crimes they committed, and orders they received from Kyiv, a decision was made by the political leadership of Ukraine: carry out a strike here.” ...

Austin orders overhaul to better protect civilians during US combat operations
“This is a sea change,” said Marc Garlasco, a former Pentagon official who later investigated civilian deaths caused by US military operations for the United Nations. “It doesn’t mean civilians won’t be killed in war anymore. They will. But if this plan is implemented and properly resourced, it will ensure fewer people will die and create a way for the Defense Department to respond when civilians are killed.”. Still, Garlasco said the plan did not fully address several questions, including how the military would improve its ability to estimate civilian casualties; how information from outside groups would be incorporated into the Pentagon’s civilian harm assessments; and whether individual officials or commanders would be held accountable for violations. The US military is taught that the laws of war prevent intentionally targeting civilians or carrying out strikes where the anticipated scale of civilian deaths is disproportionate to the combat aim. Military leaders and presidents have also long articulated a policy of minimizing or trying to prevent collateral damage. Nevertheless, the laws of war and military doctrine accept that some civilian casualties will occur in combat...

Iran blasts US charges against three of its citizens over cyber attacks
TEHRAN — Iran on Thursday strongly condemned what it called false accusations leveled by the United States against three of its citizens for alleged cyberattacks in the US and other countries. The US Justice Department unveiled the indictments on Wednesday accusing the trio of exploiting computer vulnerabilities to extort “hundreds” of victims, including inside Britain, Australia, Iran, Russia, and the United States. In a statement on Thursday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani “strongly condemned” the US measures against “citizens and companies on the false accusation of being involved in cyber attacks.” “Resorting to launching a propaganda campaign… against Iran is part of the failed Iranophobic policy of the American government, which of course will not lead anywhere,” Kanaani said. “The US, which has previously remained silent against numerous cyber attacks against Iran… and has even directly or indirectly supported these attacks, lacks the jurisdiction to accuse others.” The Islamic Republic has also been targeted by cyber attacks, most notably in 2010 when the “Stuxnet” virus — believed to have been engineered by Israel and the US — infected its nuclear program.
On Wednesday, the US Justice Department said a shelter for victims of domestic violence and a children’s hospital were among those targeted by the three accused between October 2020 and August 2022...

Syria, North Korea take swipes at West as UN assembly ends
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/09/26/world/syria-north-korea-take-swipes-west-un-assembly-ends
UNITED NATIONS — Some of the West’s fiercest critics made their cases in the closing hours of the UN General Assembly meeting of world leaders, as Syria and North Korea on Monday accused the United States and its allies of trying to impose their will on the world. Syria’s top diplomat called for a US-led military coalition to get out of his country, a North Korean ambassador said his nation wouldn’t yield to UN demands to give up its nuclear weapons program, and both condemned sanctions against their countries....
resident Biden addressed the assembly last week, making no direct mention of Syria but briefly complaining that North Korea “continues to blatantly violate UN sanctions” over its nuclear activities.... “To put it clearly, we have never recognized such resolutions of the United Nations that impose pressure” because North Korea views them as US aims given an international imprimatur, Kim said. “We will not recognize them in the future, either,” he added.... Syria Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad also took aim at sanctions, which the the US, some other countries and the European Union have imposed on his country’s government, oil industry, and more. He said his country has been “economically besieged” by powers bent on getting their way and retaining their wealth. “The war against Syria, ultimately, was an attempt by the West to maintain control over the world,” he said.... To Syria’s frustration, hundreds of US troops are stationed in the country’s east to help the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces to fight the militants. Mekdad said the coalition’s presence contradicts international law and “should end immediately, without conditions.” “Fighting terrorism does not happen through an illegitimate international coalition that violates Syria’s sovereignty and destroys towns and villages,”... Mauritanian Foreign Minister Mohamed Salem Ould Merzoug called for debt cancellation for African countries....

Russia gives citizenship to ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowden
MOSCOW — Russia on Monday granted citizenship to former American intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, who fled prosecution after he revealed highly classified US surveillance programs to capture communications and data from around the world.
A decree signed Monday by President Vladimir Putin of Russia listed Snowden as one of 75 foreign citizens listed as being granted Russian citizenship. After fleeing the United States in 2013, Snowden was granted permanent Russian residency in 2020 and said at the time that he planned to apply for Russian citizenship without renouncing his US citizenship....
While Snowden, 39, is considered by supporters to be a righteous whistleblower who wanted to protect American civil liberties, US intelligence officials have accused him of putting US personnel at risk and damaging national security. He faces charges in the United States that could result in decades in prison....Snowden has denied cooperating with Russian intelligence and was traveling through Moscow when the United States revoked his passport. Snowden leaked documents on the National Security Agency’s collection of data passing through the infrastructure of US phone and Internet companies. He also released details about the classified US intelligence budget and the extent of American surveillance on foreign officials, including the leaders of US-allied countries.
Snowden says he made the disclosures because he believed the US intelligence community had gone too far and wrongly infringed on civil liberties....
His decision to turn against the NSA came when he used his programming skills to create a repository of classified in-house notes on the agency’s global snooping and as he built a backup system for agency data, he wrote in his 2019 book “Permanent Record.” Reading through the repository, Snowden said he began to understand the extent of his government’s stomping on civil liberties and became “cursed with the knowledge that all of us had been reduced to something like children, who’d been forced to live the rest of their lives under omniscient parental supervision.”...

Moscow-installed administrations in the four regions of southern and eastern Ukraine claimed Tuesday night that 93 percent of the ballots cast in the Zaporizhzhia region supported annexation, as did 87 percent in the Kherson region, 98 percent in the Luhansk region, and 99 percent in Donetsk.

“It’s like I lost me somewhere,” said Williamson, a Navy lieutenant commander who experienced disorientation, depression, memory loss, and chronic exhaustion. “I went to my captain and said, ‘Sir, I need help. Something’s wrong.’”
As the Pentagon seeks to confront spiraling suicide rates in the military ranks, Williamson’s experiences shine a light on the realities for service members seeking mental health help. For most, simply acknowledging their difficulties can be intimidating. And what comes next can be frustrating and dispiriting....
According to Defense Department data, suicides among active-duty service members increased by more than 40 percent between 2015 and 2020. The numbers jumped by 15 percent in 2020 alone. In longtime suicide hotspot postings such as Alaska — service members and their families contend with extreme isolation and a harsh climate — the rate has doubled.
A 2021 study by the Cost of War Project concluded that since 9/11, four times as many service members and veterans have died by suicide as have perished in combat. The study detailed stress factors particular to military life: “high exposure to trauma — mental, physical, moral, and sexual — stress and burnout, the influence of the military’s hegemonic masculine culture, continued access to guns, and the difficulty of reintegrating into civilian life.”...

Iran president accuses US of ‘destabilization’ amid protests
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran’s president on Thursday accused the United States of conducting a “failed policy of destabilization” targeting his nation, as Iranian protesters continued to call for the downfall of its rulers despite a violent and wide-ranging crackdown. President Ebrahim Raisi has repeatedly dismissed the unrest sparked by the death of a 22-year-old woman in policy custody as a purported Western plot, without providing evidence. His latest remarks came after protests erupted in cities across Iran on Wednesday, with videos showing security forces apparently firing toward demonstrators.

Edward Snowden swore allegiance to Russia and collected passport, lawyer says
Edward Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor who leaked information about US surveillance programs, swore an oath of allegiance to Russia and has collected his Russian passport, his lawyer told state media on Friday.... “Edward received a Russian passport yesterday and took the oath in accordance with the law,” lawyer Anatoly Kucherena said, according to Russia’s Interfax news agency. “He is, of course, happy, thanking the Russian Federation for the fact that he received citizenship,” he continued. “And most importantly, under the Constitution of Russia, he can no longer be extradited to a foreign state.” Snowden, 39, is wanted by Washington on espionage charges. He argues that his actions were in the interests of the United States. In any case, his revelations exposed the breadth of US digital spying programs and altered the public’s understanding of technology, privacy, and digital security....

Biogen whistle-blower who received $266 million said people who report wrongdoing are ‘an anomaly’
He received $266.4 million last month as a result of a federal whistle-blower lawsuit he filed in 2012 against Biogen, now based in Cambridge. The money is part of $900 million that the firm paid the federal government and 15 states to settle the civil case. His award is the largest in a whistle-blower suit on record, according to his lawyer, Thomas M. Greene, of Boston, who declined to disclose how much he was paid out of the settlement.
The suit alleged that Biogen paid hundreds of doctors for sham speaking and consulting programs that were actually kickbacks and defrauded Medicare and Medicaid, which covered the drugs the physicians prescribed. Federal law allows a private citizen to sue for fraud on behalf of the government and, if successful, obtain part of the award. Biogen’s settlement and Bawduniak’s cut were finalized on Sept. 26...
