Republican Showdown Coming by Stephen Lendman Since entering the presidential race last June, Trump shook things up like no other US aspirant in memory - turning an otherwise dull political season into a memorable one, for better or worse. Republican party bosses want anyone but him. So do media scoundrels, becoming anti-Trump cheerleaders, going all-out to undermine his campaign, another reason to avoid them altogether. On February 6, failed presidential aspirant, vulture capital predator Mitt Romney said “I’ve had my turn…I’m not running for president.” Will he or won’t he enter the race? In desperation, will party bosses choose him to challenge Trump, ...

Rage Over Erdogan Prohibiting Press Freedom by Stephen Lendman Outrage followed Erdogan’s latest blow to press freedom, taking over Turkey’s largest circulation broadsheet - Zaman and its English language Today’s Zaman edition, a brazen example of police state viciousness. Human Rights Watch (HRW) called the takeover Erdogan’s “latest attempt…to silence critical media.” Amnesty International (AI) blasted what it called “the latest deeply troubling episode in the Turkish authorities’ ongoing onslaught on dissenting media.” “By lashing out and seeking to rein in critical voices…Erdogan’s government is steamrolling over ...
Super Tuesday Exit Polls Showed Voters Want Revolutionary Change

Super Tuesday Exit Polls Showed Voters Want Revolutionary Change by Stephen Lendman America’s dysfunctional political system is too corrupted to fix. Ordinary Americans understand. Half the electorate usually ops out, refusing to vote when no choices exist, no one for high office representing them. Governance at all levels is unresponsive to their rights and needs. People want revolutionary change, yet remain unwilling to get actively involved. Indifference lets dirty business as usual flourish. Elections are farcical when held. A previous article said duopoly power presidential aspirants look more like an FBI most wanted list than legitimate candidates, representing monied ...

Turkey’s War on Free Expression by Stephen Lendman Journalists, academics, public figures, human rights activists, even young children criticizing regime policy risk imprisonment on charges ranging from insulting the president to terrorism, espionage or treason. Turkey imprisons more journalists than any other country. Istanbul-based Zaman and its English language edition, Today’s Zaman, is the nation’s largest circulation broadsheet. On Friday, Erdogan seized control of its operations, continuing his war on free expression, tolerating no dissent, wanting critical voices silenced - using state prosecutors and rubber-stamp courts to serve his interests. Press freedom in ...

Does a JFK, RFK, MLK Moment Await Trump? by Stephen Lendman Bipartisan gangsters running America let nothing interfere with their ruthless agenda, waging war on humanity at home and abroad, serving monied interests exclusively. Trump won’t change longstanding policies if elected president. Yet Republican power brokers and media scoundrels want anyone but him representing the party in November. Will they choose the nuclear option to prevent it? Will long knives eliminate his candidacy the old- fashioned way? Facebook outrageously maintains an Assassinate Donald Trump page, ludicrously claiming it doesn’t violate company “community standards” left undefined - perhaps ...
Trump Bashing Reaches Epic Proportions

Trump Bashing Reaches Epic Proportions by Stephen Lendman Ideologically he’s over-the-top like all other duopoly power presidential aspirants, supporting the same dirty business as usual agenda. His unorthodox campaigning against the grain sounding anti-establishment put him at odds with Republican power brokers. They’re committed to anyone but him - with, as expected, echo chamber scoundrel media backing. Bashing him virtually drowns out other news. A separate article discussed Republican desperation in hauling out failed presidential aspirant Mitt Romney, a vulture capital predator profiting from asset-stripping companies and mass-firings to cut costs. The March 4 ...

Republican Desperation by Stephen Lendman What new dirty tricks the Republican wing of America’s one-party state plans to derail Trump’s campaign remains to be seen. Everything tried so far made him stronger. You’d think party bosses would have caught on by now. Instead they hauled out former Massachusetts governor, failed presidential aspirant Mitt Romney. His vulture capital firm, Bain Capital, profiteered by asset-stripping companies, bankrupting them, and leaving their employees high and dry on their own. He once said saving or creating jobs wasn’t his concern, adding he likes “being able to fire people,” claiming what’s good for business alone ...
Criticizing Turkey's Erdogan a Criminal Offense

Criticizing Turkey’s Erdogan a Criminal Offense by Stephen Lendman Turkey under Erdogan is a fascist police state. Criticizing him risks arrest, prosecution and imprisonment. Exposing regime wrongdoing risks being charged with espionage and treason, longterm incarceration following near-rubber-stamp convictions. Rare exceptions prove the rule. Since August 2014 elections elevated Erdogan from prime minister to president (formerly a ceremonial role), reign of terror governance followed. He’s been systematically solidifying his grip on power, despotic rule by any standard - along with allying with Obama’s war on Syria, supporting ISIS and other terrorist groups against its ...

Hillary Clinton: War Criminal, Racist, Psychopath by Stephen Lendman Clinton appears unstoppable for her party’s nomination. Americans should be terrified about the possibility of a power-crazed lunatic as president - her finger on the nuclear trigger. Possible global war with her in charge with weapons able to kill us all should scare everyone. Forget her gender. She’s a Wall Street supported war goddess, the most recklessly dangerous US presidential aspirant in modern memory. Francis Boyle calls her “a certified psychopath and a war criminal.” Electing her president is unthinkable. She supports endless wars of aggression, Wall Street looting the nation’s ...

Neocon Supported Our Principles Super PAC Aims to Undermine Trump’s Campaign by Stephen Lendman Trump looks unstoppable, the likely Republican nominee for president. The campaign to undermine him is perhaps unprecedented in US politics. Party power brokers want their leading candidate prevented from being nominated this July, going all-out to stop him. In mid-January, a neocon infested Our Principles super PAC was established - former Mitt Romney aide Katie Packer its director. She’s a founding member of Burning Glass, an Alexandria, VA-based Republican consulting firm. Days after its establishment, Our Principles (OP), sent out mailers opposing Trump’s candidacy. ...

NYT Endorses Ousting Venezuela’s Maduro by Stephen Lendman The Times wants Big Oil getting its dirty hands on Venezuela’s oil, the world’s largest reserves, preventing revenues they generate being shared with all Venezuelans equitably. It endorses Washington’s predatory agenda - its wars, political assassinations and coups to transform independent nations into US colonies - at the same time, ignoring its appalling human rights abuses. It’s a mouthpiece for state-sponsored viciousness, indifferent to human suffering, mindless about democratic values and rule of law principles. On March 2, its editors endorsed ousting Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro. A ...
Trump Ally: Fox Judge And 9/11 Truther Andrew Napolitano Is "Probably Trump's Number One Pick For" Supreme Court

Donald Trump ally Roger Stone said that Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano is "probably Trump's number one pick for the U.S. Supreme Court." Napolitano believes in 9/11 conspiracy theories, is a "contrarian" on President Abraham Lincoln's legacy, and doesn't believe "the right to vote" is a "fundamental right." Stone is a disreputable political dirty trickster who was recently banned from CNN for sexist and racist tweets. Stone worked as a paid adviser for Trump's campaign last year and is currently heading a pro-Trump super PAC that is trying to "stop the Republican establishment from stealing the Presidential ...

The Only Sure Ways to Beat Trump by Stephen Lendman He’s a billionaire businessman turned politician, a phenomenon, a one-of-a-kind in modern memory. He’s winning support with anti-establishment-sounding bombast, coming across as straight talk. He captured the imagination of millions of US voters. His unorthodox, against the grain, approach proved an effective strategy - whether able to win in November remains to be seen. Perhaps the only way to stop him is by assassination or election rigging. More on the latter below. Four US presidents were assassinated in office: Lincoln, James Garfield, William Mckinley and Jack Kennedy. The deaths of Zachary Taylor and Warren Harding ...

Dirty Business As Usual Sweeps Super Tuesday by Stephen Lendman Results were known before polls opened Tuesday morning. The same holds throughout the farcical political season - a meaningless pre-scripted exercise in theater, substance entirely excluded. Media hoopla conceals a process too corrupted to fix. Democracy in America is a four-letter word - a rigged Big Money controlled duopoly power system. Voters have no say whatever. Dirty business as usual wins every time. Green Party presidential aspirant Dr. Jill Stein is the real thing, a true populist supporting governance of, by and for everyone equitably - getting virtually no media coverage. Editorial scoundrels treat her like a ...

NYT Political Bombast by Stephen Lendman Weeks earlier, The Times shamefully endorsed Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. She’s arguably the most ruthlessly dangerous choice among a despicable array of aspirants, not a legitimate one in the bunch, Clinton worst of all. She’s ideologically over-the-top, rapaciously pro-war, pro-Wall Street, pro-privilege, anti-populist, anti-fundamental democratic rights. Times editors calling her “the most broadly and deeply qualified (aspirant) in modern history” is unmitigated rubbish, willful lying to their readers. Saying she “should stick to the high ground…continue to campaign on who she is and what she can do for ...

The republic has been decaying for decades, but it will not be saved by an unconstrained demagogue. Whether or not Donald Trump ultimately succeeds in winning the White House, historians are likely to rank him as the most consequential presidential candidate of at least the past half-century. He has already transformed the tone and temper of American political life. If he becomes the Republican nominee, he will demolish its structural underpinnings as well. Should he prevail in November, his election will alter its very fabric in ways likely to prove irreversible. Whether Trump ever delivers on his promise to “Make America Great Again,” he is already transforming American ...

Hillary Clinton Loves Goldman Sachs by Stephen Lendman It’s hard imagining a more deplorable candidate for any public office, unthinkable for the nation’s highest. Her presidency, if elected, assures endless wars of aggression, possible confrontation with Russia and China, letting Wall Street, other corporate bandits and war-profiteers continue looting the nation’s wealth, as well as likely advancing tyranny to full-blown, stripping the mask entirely off constitutional governance. Why any ordinary American would support a ruthless she-devil committed to undermining the lives, welfare and futures is shocking to imagine. A leaked transcript of Clinton’s June 2013 ...

Only In America: An Indiscreet Selfie Can Put A Kid In Prison

Did you know that if you are an American under 18 years old and you use your cell phone to send a nude “selfie” of yourself to a friend, you can be convicted of manufacturing and distributing “child pornography” and sent to prison? In case you are too old to be in the loop, a “selfie” is a photo that one makes of oneself. This is how expansively prosecutors, whose main purpose in life is to ruin as many people as possible, interpret laws passed to protect children from sexual exploitation. Sexting—the exchange of nude photographs—is now a big thing among the 14-17 year old set, especially among females. They have transitioned from children to women ...
Roger Waters: Pink Floyd star on why his fellow musicians are terrified to speak out against Israel

Roger Waters alludes to the band’s lyrics while painting on the Israeli- Palestinian security barrier in Bethlehem in 2006 American musicians who support boycotting Israel over the issue of Palestinian rights are terrified to speak out for fear their careers will be destroyed, according to Roger Waters. The Pink Floyd star – a prominent supporter of the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel since its inception 10 years ago – said the experience of seeing himself constantly labelled a Nazi and anti-Semite had scared people into silence. “The only response to BDS is that it is anti-Semitic,” Waters told The Independent, in his first ...

4 Zombie Survival Hacks From “World War Z” Movie You Can Use In A Collapse by Jeff Anderson Last night, my wife, son and I sat down with a bowl of popcorn and an evening of the undead as we watched “World War Z”.

Beyond the entertainment factor, there’s actually a very important scene in WWZ where Pitt and his family enter a looted grocery store to find some medicine for his asthmatic daughter. And here are… 4 Zombie Survival Hacks From “World War Z” To ...

Snowden: US Presidential Campaign a Choice Between Trump and Goldman Sachs by Stephen Lendman It’s largely a choice of style, not substance, dirty business as usual continuing no matter who succeeds Obama. Still, Snowden has a point. Hillary Clinton, like husband Bill, got super-rich through speechmaking, lucrative book deals and other Big Money handouts. Lots came from Wall Street and other corporate supporters - a rogue’s gallery of crony capitalist interests buying influence. Her public financial disclosures show she earned $2,935,000 from 12 speeches to Wall Street banks alone from 2013 - 2015, five for $225,000 (her usual fee). Deutsche Bank paid her $485,000, Goldman ...

Constitutional Carry Could Pass Soon in This State Boise, Idaho saw strong support from Second Amendment supporters recently, rallying for House Bill 422 to pass. If passed, HB 422 would end permit requirements in Idaho, and allow its citizens to carry a concealed firearm without having to obtain a carry permit. Idaho House Speaker Bedke says, “There’s a strong majority of Idahoans and legislators who believe that citizens have a right to protect themselves. In the wake of these mass shootings, I think that gets elevated.” Bonner County Sheriff, Daryl Wheeler links the state’s bill with the Constitution, observing, “The Constitutional Carry Bill would align Idaho ...
Infuriating: How Obama Can Bypass Congress To Appoint Who He Wants To The Supreme Court?

Infuriating: How Obama Can Bypass Congress To Appoint Who He Wants To The Supreme Court? John Thomas | February 18, 2016 By now, you’ve probably heard about the death of Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia. His death gives the potential opportunity for our leftist President to nominate a progressive to the U.S. Supreme Court which could shift the balance from a relatively politically balanced court, between conservative and liberal, to an outright liberal court. That’s pretty scary, especially given the court’s tendency to legislate from the bench, but what is even scarier is that Obama has a way that he can force his choice down our throat without Congressional ...

Trump's Top Two Surprise Goals: Make It Easier For Politicians To Sue Media, and Allow Churches To Endorse Candidates In Fort Worth TX today, Donald Trump welcomed an evangelical minister on to the stage and explained how one of his first goals if elected president would be to allow clergymen to endorse political candidates without having to worry risking their tax-exempt status. "We're gonna have the strongest Christian lobby," Trump promised. He also delivered a scathing rebuke of the New York Times, and said that he would seek a change in libel laws for negative news stories. He began by criticizing the New York Times and Washington Post, saying that the NYT is ...
