US rogue state empire LYING for WW3 in Syria: learn three facts to demand .01% arrests, or witness millions more war-murders
“Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
~ George Santayana, The Life of Reason: The Phases of Human Progress, 1905-’06, Vol. 1
“It is no use trying to escape their arrogance by submission or good behavior. Robbers of the world, having by universal plunder exhausted the land, their drive is greed. If the enemy be rich, they are rapacious; if poor, they lust for domination. Neither rule of the East nor West can satisfy them. Alone among men, they crave with equal eagerness poverty and riches. To plunder, slaughter, seize with false pretenses, they give the lying name ‘empire.’ And where nothing remains but a desert, they call that ‘peace.’ ”
We in alternative media reported last year that Trump’s threats of regime change in Syria was Orwellian-illegal, without objective evidence, and just another targeted nation of the US rogue state empire. From my contributions (and explore here going back to 2011 with over 300 articles on Syria from Washington’s Blog):
- US military now illegally occupy eight bases in Syria (and here), with escalating bombing of Syria and Iraq of over 4,000 bombs/month and over 84,000 since 2014. The US acknowledges ~500 civilian deaths from these bombs, with independent count of ~750 in just in June 2017.
- Among dozens of independent writers, I’ve documented that all “reasons” for wars on Iran, Syria, and Russia are easily proved lies (recently, here, here, here, and going back to 2005), with US Department of illegal Wars of Aggression (so-called “Defense”) claiming to have “lost” $65,000 for every US household.
Now there is new rhetoric for war on Syria, and at risk to engage Russia, Iran, and Israel with danger of WW3.
We the People can empower peace, and end war lies with three areas of factual command:
- Claims of poison gas are without objective evidence.
- War law under two US treaties after two world wars that killed ~60 million people make armed attack on a nation illegal unless that nation attacks you first (or imminent threat). All other security issues go through the UN Security Council in order to avoid another world war killing millions.
- The US has become the most dangerous and war-murderous illegal rogue state empire in world history. International polling confirms that people view the US as the greatest danger to world peace. Responsible citizens must demand US .01% arrests to stop these millions of war-murders.
1. No evidence of gas other than from War Criminals’ mouths
Trump’s multiple threats of armed attack on Syria are tragic-comic, hypocritical to campaign promises for no more US “regime changes,” and just as illegal as you threatening to bomb your neighbor for baseless accusations he gasses children. Trump tweeted:
Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it! 3:57 AM - Apr 11, 2018
Of all the material I’ve read and viewed to document zero objective evidence of a gas attack from the Syrian government, I recommend:
- Contrary to Neocon War Propaganda there is ZERO evidence of Assad ever using chemical weapons on his own people and False Flag Syrian Manipulation by Ian Shilling
- Syrian War Lies and the Greater Israel Project by Patrick J. McShay
- Truth, Peace, Justice and the War on Syria: Lies, Fake Humanitarians, Fake Covers for War Crimes by Mark Taliano
Among the video coverage, I recommend these three:

2. War Law: Honor humanity, all our families’ sacrifices of 2 world wars, and today’s billions by demanding enforcement
We all learned in school of two world wars killing ~60 million people. All of our families sacrificed dearly, with both my grandfathers lied into the first world war, my father and wife’s father in the second, and all families today threatened by a nuclear third.
The two treaties after both wars are crystal-clear in letter and intent: armed attack by a nation’s government is illegal unless under a narrow definition of self-defense: another nation’s government is attacking or there is demonstrable imminent threat of such attack.
This is non-controversial understanding of these treaties. If anyone can provide any refutation to this claim, please provide it. Those of us working in this area of reform are not aware of anyone able to document “war law means a, b, c, so the current US wars are lawful because d, e, f.”

3. US is the most dangerous rogue state empire in world history
Specific to Syria, the US has engaged in “regime change” since 1949 to best control strategic resources. But this seems to be the overarching theme to world history: a .01% class attempting global domination.
Trump’s claimed “care” for loss of innocent lives are spoken either in psychopathic posturing or profound ignorance of the ~30,000 children dying daily from preventable poverty when the so-called “developed” and “former” colonial nations have reneged on all promises to invest less than 1% of GNI to end poverty (a token amount compared to colonial looting of natural and human/slave resources).
As a National Board Certified Teacher of history, I factually assert the US is most accurately described as an illegal rogue state empire, and wrote an article series to professionally document this history taught to anyone with a comprehensive course. Moreover, those of us pointing to these facts conclude the only competent citizen response is demand for US .01% arrests for annually killing millions, harming billions, and looting trillions.
Current updates document ~30 million US war-murders since WW2 (and here), and 2.4 million in Iraq since 2003 from that illegal War of Aggression started with lies known to be lies as they were told.
Those of us with experience working with political “leaderships” of so-called “former colonial” and “developed” nations recognize this as business as usual, with paper-thin propaganda mocking We the Sheeple as gullible work animals. For example, did you know the 2003 official “war title” was Operation Iraqi Liberation: O.I.L.?
Ben Swann’s sharp 6-minutes on US overthrowing democracies as the .01% US “leadership” usual response to protect and expand ongoing empire to maximize profit over natural and human resources, “covered” by lying corporate media as literal Orwellian doublespeak “overthrowing democracies” in the name of “democracy” (strong interview of history here):
Among key facts:
- US ongoing lie-started and Orwellian-illegal Wars of Aggression require all US military and government to refuse all war orders because there are no lawful orders for obviously unlawful wars. Officers are required to arrest those who issue obviously unlawful orders. And again, those of us working for this area of justice are aware of zero attempts to refute this with, “War law states (a, b, c), so the wars are legal because (d, e, f).” All we receive is easy-to-reveal bullshit.
- The US is a literal rogue state empire led by neocolonial looting liars. The history is uncontested and taught to anyone taking comprehensive courses. If anyone has any refutations of this professional academic factual claim for any of this easy-to-read and documented content, please provide it. Rogue state empire is the most accurate term to describe the US for the following reasons:
- People around the world view the US as the greatest threat to peace; voted three times more dangerous than any other country. The data confirm this conclusion:
- Since WW2, Earth has had 248 armed conflicts. The US started 201 of them.
- These US armed attacks have killed ~30 million and counting; 90% of these deaths are innocent children, the elderly and ordinary working civilian women and men. The US has war-murdered more than Hitler’s Nazis.
- The total deaths caused by rogue state empire for resource control (natural and human) in the last 20 years is ~400 million, more than all total wars and violence in all recorded Earth history.
- Iran has never threatened to “wipe Israel off the map” and only has IAEA-verified legal energy and medicine programs with nuclear materials. Trump and corporate media continues and escalates easily-verified lies to threaten more illegal war on Iran.
- Israel engages in lie-started and illegal War of Aggression on Gaza; ironically the largest concentration camp in world history. This is also easy to verify.
- To repeat: US military now illegally occupy eight bases in Syria (and here), with escalating bombing of Syria and Iraq of over 4,000 bombs/month and over 84,000 since 2014. The US acknowledges ~500 civilian deaths from these bombs, with independent count of ~750 in just June 2017.
- Corporate media are criminally complicit through constant lies of omission and commission to “cover” all these crimes. Historic tragic-comic empire is only possible through such straight-face lying, making our Emperor’s New Clothes analogy perfectly chosen.
War law isn’t the only casualty as the .01% have provided “leadership” for the destruction of nearly all rights lawfully guaranteed in the US Bill of Rights within the US Constitution, and in Orwellian inversion of limited government.
This satire from The Onion is closer to truth than what our lying sacks-of-spin "leaders" and corporate media bury us under.

‘We the People’ must choose: enabling consent for this rogue state, or .01% arrests for annually killing millions, harming billions, looting trillions
The categories of crime include:
- Wars of Aggression (the worst crime a nation can commit).
- Likely treason for lying to US military, ordering unlawful attack and invasions of foreign lands, and causing thousands of US military deaths.
- Crimes Against Humanity for ongoing intentional policy of poverty that’s killed over 400 million human beings just since 1995 (~75% children; more deaths than from all wars in Earth’s recorded history).
- Looting trillions.
US military, law enforcement, and all with Oaths to support and defend the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, face an endgame choice:
- Demand arrests, with those with lawful authority to enact it. An arrest is the lawful action to stop apparent crimes, with the most serious crimes documented here meaning the most serious need for arrests.
- Watch the US escalate its rogue state crimes that annually kill millions, harm billions, and loot trillions.

I make all factual assertions as a National Board Certified Teacher of US Government, Economics, and History (also credentialed in Mathematics), with all economic factual claims receiving zero refutation since I began writing in 2008 among Advanced Placement Macroeconomics teachers on our discussion board, public audiences of these articles, and international conferences (and here). I invite readers to empower their civic voices with the strongest comprehensive facts most important to building a brighter future. I challenge professionals, academics, and citizens to add their voices for the benefit of all Earth’s inhabitants.
