Guess Which Popular Department Store Was Busted For Censoring the 2nd Amendment Remember when large retailers made tons of money off of selling items that were emblazoned boldly with pieces of Americana? Those days are long since over. Nowadays kids can’t wear shirts with American flags to school, shirts with NRA logos are banned, chants of U.S.A. aren’t allowed at sporting events and things like the confederate flag are all but banned. That’s why Sears is catching some heat…they were just busted censoring the precise wording that appears on the second amendment on a Zippo lighter they’re selling online. That’s a bit ridiculous don’t you think? ...

How do you know when your society is in the midst of collapse? Posted on January 26, 2016 by Brandon Smith As economic turmoil worldwide becomes increasingly apparent, I have been receiving messages from readers expressing some concerns on the public “perception” of collapse. That is to say, there are questions on the average person’s concept of collapse versus the reality of collapse. This is a vital issue that I have discussed briefly in the past, but it deserves a more in-depth analysis. What is collapse? How do we define it? And, are some of the notions of collapse in the public consciousness completely wrong? It’s funny, because skeptics opposed to the idea of ...
Phony US Claims About Putin's Corruption

Phony US Claims About Putin’s Corruption by Stephen Lendman Relentless US Putin bashing persists, reckless accusations made - including invading Ukraine and murder, evidence backing up claims absent. None exists. Putin is vilified for forthrightly defending Russian sovereign independence, supporting a multi-polar world, and challenging Washington’s imperial agenda - at the same time seeking world peace and stability along with mutual cooperation among all nations. Comments by US officials reflect administration policy. Britain’s BBC is state-owned, controlled and operated. Propaganda substitutes for credible news and information. Its correspondent Richard Bilton asked US ...

US Wants Russia Transformed into a US Vassal State by Stephen Lendman Washington tolerates no governments it doesn’t control, wanting pro-Western vassal states replacing sovereign independent ones - notably Russia and China, both countries targeted for regime change. Neocon/super-hawk former US Deputy Defense Secretary and World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz earlier explained Washington's “first objective is prevent(ing) the re-emergence of (rival states), either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere.” America seeks unipolar/New World Order dominance, pursuing a policy of state terrorism globally, wanting control over all other nations, threatening ...
Haiti: Longstanding US Colony

Haiti: Longstanding US Colony by Stephen Lendman Haiti is no stranger to adversity, anguish and overwhelming human misery. It endured over 500 years of severe repression, slavery, despotism, colonization, reparations, embargoes, sanctions, deep poverty, starvation, unrepayable debt, overwhelming human suffering and destructive natural disasters. Democracy is pure fantasy - Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s tenure the exception to the longstanding rule. Elections when held are farcical, populist candidates excluded or marginalized to insignificance. Brazen disenfranchisement, ballot box stuffing, massive state-sponsored fraud and other irregularities are standard practice. Except for the ...
WTF! Another Executive Order?

Did you know that Obama recently signed Executive Order 16303? This is incredibly scary. The government should NOT have this much power. People are outraged because this little-known executive order could be the trigger that leads to more government control… and possibly even martial law. Because thanks to this executive order, Obama now has the power to take complete control of our country at the drop of a hat. Here's what the Washington Post warned: Executive Order 16303 (National Defense Resources Preparedness) states that, in case of a war or national emergency, the federal government has the authority to take over almost every aspect of American society. Food, livestock, ...

Moldova in Turmoil

Turmoil in Moldova by Stephen Lendman Most Americans likely never heard of the tiny former Soviet republic, landlocked in Eastern Europe, bordering Ukraine and Romania - its population around 3.5 million. Political and economic crisis gripped the country last year, beginning in March. Protests followed hard times for ordinary Moldovans, exacerbated by an enormous corruption scandal, involving the theft of around $1.5 billion from three of the nation’s banks. At the time, the EU, World Bank and other foreign donors severely criticized Moldova’s Alliance for European Integration, suspending further financing.

State-Sponsored Murder at Guantanamo

State-Sponsored Murders at Guantanamo by Stephen Lendman Guantanamo is one of numerous US global black sites operating extrajudicially - torture and other forms of abuse still ongoing, major media entirely silent. Obama could have closed all US torture prisons by executive order on day one in office. He chose to keep them operating. His pledge to close Guantanamo during his first year in office was deliberate deception. The evidence speaks for itself. Washington operates solely by its own rules. International, constitutional and US statute laws don’t matter. Former Guantanamo guard Joseph Hickman believes Guantanamo officials wanted prisoners causing “problems for the ...

Unrelenting Putin Bashing by Stephen Lendman Putin’s support for international law inviolability, nation-state sovereignty and multi-world polarity made him Washington’s top geopolitical adversary. Big Lies and willful misinformation about him continue circulating, the latest accusing him of possible murder. In November 2006, former Russian Federal Security Service/KGB official Alexander Litvinenko died from polonium-210-induced acute radiation syndrome poisoning in a London hospital. Russia was automatically blamed for his death, dubious witness testimonies lacking credibility the only evidence. Former Russian Federal Protective Service official, current lower house State ...

Scary Statistic About Americans Will Have You Shaking Your Head John Thomas | December 24, 2015 Some statistics can scare you, can really terrify you, because you know that the statistic indicates huge problems coming down the pike if something doesn’t change. This is one of them. In a recent survey, a full one-third of Americans could not name a single right protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution. You read that correctly. Not one. Not the right to free speech. Not the right to freedom of religion. Not freedom of the press. nor the right to assemble, nor the right to petition. None of them. The survey had this to say: “When asked to name the five specific ...

See Why Obama’s Asking Hotels To See How Many Condoms You Have Ever since Obama took office our freedoms have begun to evaporate. First it was the confirmation of his extensive spying program which was implemented (and not stopped) under the auspices of preventing terrorism. Then there’s what he’s trying to do with our second amendment, you know, adding new, unconstitutional restrictions on who can own a gun. And now there’s what his DHS is doing in order to prevent sex-trafficking. This includes asking hotel staff to see how many condoms you use and whether or not you have sex-toys in your luggage.

Knife-Wielding Man Attacks Mother Of 4, What Her Husband Did Next Saved Their Lives President Obama was recently recorded saying he’d be glad to give up constitutional freedoms if it helped to save “just one or two lives.” It’s obvious the weight of his statement didn’t sink in entirely as a commitment to relieve Americans of their second amendment rights will likely end up costing far more than one or two loves. Katie Claxton of Springfield Missouri knows this all too well as she and her family were accosted by a knife wielding lunatic.

The Right to Tell the Government to Go to Hell: Free Speech in an Age of Government Bullies, Corporate Censors and Compliant Citizens

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”― George Orwell Free speech is not for the faint of heart. Nor is it for those who are easily offended, readily intimidated or who need everything wrapped in a neat and tidy bow. Free speech is often messy, foul- mouthed, obscene, intolerant, undignified, insensitive, cantankerous, bawdy and volatile. While free speech can also be tender, tolerant, soft-spoken, sensitive and sweet, it is free speech’s hot-blooded alter ego—the wretched, brutal, beastly Mr. Hyde to its restrained, dignified and civil Dr. Jekyll—that tests the limits of our so-called ...
Private Gun Sellers Confused By Obama’s New Rules

Private Gun Sellers Confused By Obama’s New Rules This week, Obama went live with his promised executive actions on gun control, leaving millions of gun owning citizens confused on whether or not they need to obtain a license to sell their firearms. Reading the Gun Control Act of 1968 for clarification, it clearly states that only persons “engaged in the business” of dealing guns must be licensed. Obama’s statements created confusion when he said that if you sell a gun, you must have proper licensing. The ATF has not been overly helpful in clearing the confusion, as they released one fact sheet defining “engaged in business” and stating that nothing has ...

Constitution Check: Are the states’ “Blaine Amendments” on shaky ground?

THE STATEMENT AT ISSUE: “At least three states – Nevada, Colorado and Missouri – are currently confronted with litigation that raises questions about the limits that the U.S. Constitution imposes on state constitutions’ Blaine or No-Aid provisions. State and lower federal courts are deeply split on those limits, and states ...

Hillary Clinton's emails on her unsecured, homebrew server contained intelligence from the U.S. government's most secretive and highly classified programs, according to an unclassified letter from a top inspector general to senior lawmakers. Fox News exclusively obtained the text of the unclassified letter, sent Jan. 14 from Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III. It laid out the findings of a recent comprehensive review by intelligence agencies that identified "several dozen" additional classified emails -- including specific intelligence known as "special access programs" (SAP). That indicates a level of classification beyond ...

MPs Debate Banning Trump from Britain by Stephen Lendman Following Trump’s call for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on,” a UK petition began circulating to prevent him from entering Britain. It gathered over 570,000 signatures, passing the required threshold for mandatory parliamentary debate. The irony wasn’t lost on observers - the hypocrisy of denouncing Trump’s opposition to Muslim immigration in America while voting up or down on banning his entry to Britain - along with attacking his free expression right, no matter how offensive. A Trump ...

Implacable US Hostility Toward Russia by Stephen Lendman Hostile US policy toward Russia is longstanding. Washington tolerates no sovereign independent governments, wants Western-controlled vassal states replacing them - especially Russia and China. State Department Coordinator for Sanctions Policy Daniel Fried lied, saying “cooperat(ion) with Russia” is possible. “(B)ad relations (aren’t) permanent.” They’ve been implacably hostile for nearly a century. Nothing in prospect indicates positive change. Suggesting otherwise is duplicitous. Washington invents ways to maintain adversarial relations. False accusations of meddling in Ukrainian internal affairs, ...

New US Sanctions on Iran by Stephen Lendman With Iran celebrating international sanctions lifted on its entirely peaceful nuclear program, the US Treasury imposed new ones unilaterally and illegally - again solely for political reasons. A Treasury press release said Iran’s ballistic missile program was targeted, unrelated to its nuclear activities. Eleven domestic and foreign entities as well as individuals are targeted. Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Adam Szubin lied, claiming “Iran’s ballistic missile program poses a significant threat to regional and global security, and it will continue to be subject to international sanctions.” ...

House Speaker Paul Ryan said “(a) bipartisan majority in the House voted to reject this deal in the first place, and we will continue to do everything possible to prevent a nuclear Iran.” He along with numerous other Republican and Democrat congressional members strongly oppose lifting international sanctions. Republican presidential aspirants railed against changing longstanding policy. Senator Marco Rubio said he’ll “cancel this ridiculous (nuclear) deal with Iran” straightaway in office if elected. “As president, ...

Erdogan’s War on Academic Freedom by Stephen Lendman Erdogan considers criticism of his rogue policies treason, going all-out to solidify unchallenged fascist rule, wanting opposition elements eliminated, waging war on press and academic freedom. State-controlled Anadolu Agency news reported police arresting 12 academics (among over 1,100 others worldwide), signing a declaration - denouncing terror war without mercy on Turkish Kurds - part of Erdogan’s relentless attack on fundamental freedoms. All 12 are Kocaeli University lecturers. Others on staff face arrest. Prosecutors charged targeted individuals with insulting the head of state and engaging in “terrorist ...

We’re supposed to revere – and follow – the Constitution. But if they don’t, why should we? By they, I mean the people who lord it over us. Our rulers. I choose the word deliberately, in the interests of editorial accuracy. We’re certainly not ruled by the Constitution. And neither are they. Consider, for instance, this business of judicial review. The power claimed by the Supreme Court to “interpret” the Constitution. It is a power you will find nowhere in the Constitution itself, or even hinted at. It was simply asserted by the first chief justice, John Marshall (who was a cousin of but also – unsurprisingly – a great enemy of Thomas ...
