On this day in 2017, US SEALs killed 8-year-old American citizen “Nora” Nawar Al-Awlaki along with 24 other civilians, (incl. 9 young children) in a raid on a village in Yemen village. US Apache gunships destroyed entire homes & fired on villagers as they fled.

"Ahmad Qassum was driving home with his family when a US drone struck and left all six of them wounded.

It wounded his wife and four children, including his nine-year-old son Mahmud who is still in intensive care for a serious head injury."

“Civilian observers who came to the area of the strike the next day found piles of dead women and children. The human rights organization Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently posted photos of the bodies, calling it a ‘terrible massacre.’”

“What is compelling about this case is the argument it makes about the lack of any other remedy available to these victims... there is no mechanism for redress."

My new article is a work of comprehensive historical revisionism. It disproves claims that US biowar in Korea was a "hoax." It really happened, and it was documented in COMINT files from the Korean War!

No one has published anything like this before!

For years, State Department officials have voiced concerns that they might be charged with war crimes for approving arms sales into the Yemen war. But rather than take steps to address the legal issues, the State Department has concealed them. W/ @ewong

Excellent thread describing how the Obama state department’s sanctions on Iran were designed to starve the population and prevent imports of vital medicine

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

I just read @RichardMNephew's "The Art of Sanctions."

Nephew, ex-Obama State Dept sanctions coordinator, clinically & chillingly details how pain is the essence of the US global sanctions regime.

Unfortunately, he hasn't been honest about the contents of his own book. Thread:

Amazing 1966 GDR documentary about ex-Wehrmacht/ex-US Army mercenary Siegfried "Kongo" Müller who, with a smile on his face and a swastika iron cross on his chest, tells of slaughtering countless people in the Congo on behalf of NATO and "Western values." https://t.co/O7om7zxxKg

Any time you think the State Dept under Pompeo can't stoop any lower, read a declassified cable about Allende. “We have been living with a corpse in our midst for some time and its name is Chile...The decomposition is no less malodorous bc of the civility which accompanies it."

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the U.S. government will impose sanctions on International Criminal Court prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, over her investigation into whether or not American troops committed war crimes in Afghanistan. https://t.co/vPWHhFfdle #ICC
