In 2006 – years before ISIS replaced Al Qaeda as the New and Unprecedentedly Evil Villain – Newt Gingrich gave a speech in New Hampshire in which, as he put it afterward, he “called for a serious debate about the First Amendment and how terrorists are abusing our rights–using them as they once used passenger jets–to threaten and kill Americans.” In that speech, Gingrich argued: Either before we lose a city, or, if we are truly stupid, after we lose a city, we will adopt rules of engagement that use every technology we can find to break up (terrorists’) capacity to use the Internet, to break up their capacity to use free speech [protections] and to go ...
NYT Supports Kiev Fascists

NYT Supports Kiev Fascists by Stephen Lendman Times management and editors support US-installed fascists running Ukraine, hugely corrupt and lawless gangsters, still waging war on their own people, against fundamental human and civil rights - a classic rogue state with no legitimacy whatever. Not an obstacle for the self-styled “newspaper of record,” supporting what demands unequivocal condemnation. It routinely gives op-ed space to anti-Russian elements - now featuring three US neocons, urging investment in Ukraine’s future, ignoring its rogue state status, contempt for fundamental freedoms, lawlessness and overwhelming internal public opposition, perhaps heading toward ...
Police May Confiscate Guns without Notice to Owner Starting January 1

This is the result of the implementation of “gun violence restraining orders” (GVROs), which go into effect New Year’s Day. According to KPCC, GVROs “could be issued without prior knowledge of the person. In other words, a judge could issue the order without ever hearing from the person in question, if there are reasonable grounds to believe the person is a threat based on accounts from the family and police.” And since the order can be issued without the gun owner even being present to defend him or herself, confiscation can commence without any notice to the gun owner once the order is issued. To be fair, Los Angeles Police Department Assistant Chief Michael ...
What’s in Store for Our Freedoms in 2016? More of Everything We Don’t Want

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”—George Santayana, The Life of Reason, Vol. 1 In Harold Ramis’ classic 1993 comedy Groundhog Day, TV weatherman Phil Connors (played by Bill Murray) is forced to live the same day over and over again until he not only gains some insight into his life but changes his priorities. Similarly, as I illustrate in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, we in the emerging American police state find ourselves reliving the same set of circumstances over and over again—egregious surveillance, strip searches, police shootings of unarmed citizens, government spying, the criminalization of ...
Another Whitewashed US Cop Killing

Another Whitewashed US Cop Killing by Stephen Lendman US Black communities are virtual war zones - similar to daily Israeli-inflicted horrors on Palestinians. Cops are licensed to kill with impunity. Accountability for cold-blooded murder is almost entirely absent. Twelve-year-old Tamir Rice threatened no one. In November 2014, he was innocently playing with a toy gun - reminiscent of a harmless cap pistol I and my friends had as young boys, never fearful of hurting anyone or being hurt. Simply the innocent play of young boys with their friends. Rice was in a Cleveland playground when lethally shot by officer Timothy Loehmann - a clear case of cold-blooded murder, another Black life ...
FEDERAL JUDGE: DRINKING TEA, SHOPPING AT A GARDENING STORE IS PROBABLE CAUSE FOR A SWAT RAID ON YOUR HOME

In April 2012, a Kansas SWAT team raided the home of Robert and Addie Harte, their 7-year-old daughter and their 13-year-old son. The couple, both former CIA analysts, awoke to pounding at the door. When Robert Harte answered, SWAT agents flooded the home. He was told to lie on the floor. When Addie Harte came out to see what was going on, she saw her husband on his stomach as SWAT cop stood over him with a gun. The family was then held at gunpoint for more than two hours while the police searched their home. Though they claimed to be looking for evidence of a major marijuana growing operation, they later stated that they knew within about 20 minutes that they wouldn’t find any such ...
Ukraine's Widely Despised Regime

Ukraine’s Widely Despised Regime by Stephen Lendman US-installed fascists have no legitimacy whatever. Polls increasingly show it. Last summer, Ukrainians were asked who they trusted most to lead them. Vladimir Putin was named overwhelmingly by 84% of respondents - even though he’s Russian, not Ukrainian. Illegitimate oligarch president Poroshenko scored 1%, Obama 1%, Angela Merkel 1%, illegitimate prime minister Yatsenyuk and various other Ukrainian officials 0%. Ukrainians nationwide despise their ruling regime for good reason. It’s ruthlessly despotic, hugely corrupt, run by illegitimate officials, and at war with its own people. Poroshenko’s approval rating ...

Holiday Season Fear-Mongering by Stephen Lendman European media are irresponsibly warning of possible terrorist attacks in London and/or elsewhere on the continent between Christmas and New Year’s day - claiming they may involve explosives or guns. The only terrorist threat Europeans or Americans need fear over the holiday period or any other time of year is state-sponsored - false flags blamed on phantom terrorist elements to enlist public support for policies they’d otherwise oppose, notably wars and crackdowns on civil liberties. Reports like ones circulating now are spurious, state-sponsored fear-mongering. European capitals are on high alert - residents manipulated to ...

Weird Reason Why Gun Shop Owners Cheer Obama’s Speech gun shopOnce again, gun shop owners across America rejoice. Thanks to Obama’s empty pleas for more gun control, gun sales are brisk. President Obama has turned into America’s leading gun salesperson: "Gun rights activists have pointed to Democrats’ calls for new gun control measures as one reason why gun sales have increased. Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton has said that the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment, that Australian style mandatory gun buybacks should be considered in the United States, and that she would implement new gun control through executive action. “Barrack Obama ...

Palestine and Chicago: War Zones by Stephen Lendman Israel is at war with Palestine without declaring it. Official policy sanctions cold-blooded murder. Praying to the wrong God is considered a criminal offense. So is wanting fundamental freedoms everyone deserves. Chicago is much the same, like other US cities and towns nationwide - the so-called “city of big shoulders” where I live notoriously called the police repression capital of America for good reason. Police operate freely in Black and Latino communities, committing cold-blooded murders with impunity. Shooting fatalities by Chicago cops top the nation - over 70 in the past five years along with hundreds wounded, most ...

Erdogan Image Building? by Stephen Lendman No amount of lipstick changes anything about his dark side. He’s a world-class thug heading a despotic regime, fascist and vicious by any standard. Fundamental rights in Turkey don’t exist. Democracy is pure illusion. Anyone criticizing regime policy or exposing its wrongdoing faces charges of espionage and/or treason, imprisonment following, at times death by targeted assassination. Erdogan is a ruthless, dangerous rogue actor, a valued US ally, a NATO member - threatening regional peace, stability and security. He’s allied with America’s imperial enterprise, waging war on his own Kurdish population, murdering them in cold ...

Tyranny in France by Stephen Lendman France’s national motto “Liberte, egalite, fraternite” is a meaningless slogan, spurned by police state authority - things heading toward becoming worse than ever. Fundamental rule of law principles don’t apply. Article 13 of France’s 2014-2019 defense appropriation legislation permits monitoring, collecting and maintaining Internet user data - without judicial oversight. Surveillance is authorized for any conduct authorities deem potentially harmful to French “scientific or economic potential.” State anti-terrorism legislation eviscerates civil liberties protections, draconian measures substituting. Virtually ...

US Mistreating Russian Political Prisoner by Stephen Lendman Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko is one of thousands of US political prisoners - wrongfully incarcerated despite no credible evidence of criminality. He’s a victim of US anti-Russian hostility - lawlessly kidnapped in Monrovia, extrajudicially taken to New York, wrongfully accused of trying to bribe Liberian officials and cocaine smuggling, tried in a kangaroo proceeding, convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison. At the time, Russia's Foreign Ministry called it “unacceptable that the Russian side had not received proper notification on the arrest of our fellow citizen as is prescribed by the Vienna ...

Gun Sales to These Americans Officially BANNED! While it has yet to become effective at the federal level, the dissolving of our dearly held second amendment rights is well underway in the state of Connecticut. They’ve just created new legislation prohibiting anyone on the “Do Not Fly List” from purchasing a gun. Doesn’t matter how you got on there, if you’re on it then you can’t defend yourself with a firearm. The New York Times writes: "Gov. Dannel P. Malloy of Connecticut announced on Thursday that he intended to sign an executive order barring people on federal terrorism watch lists from buying firearms in the state. “Like all Americans, I ...

US Ties to World Forces Representing Pure Evil: Thoughts During the Holiday Season by Stephen Lendman The spirit of Christmas represents peace, good will, consideration for those less fortunate, as well as mutual cooperation among nations for the benefit of humanity. Washington’s imperial agenda is polar opposite, including: • democracy for privileged elites alone;
• government serving monied interests exclusively;
• enriching the super-rich at the expense of most others - Wall Street, war profiteers and drug industry bandits benefitting most;
• thirdworldizing America, systematically destroying social justice, creating a nation of ...

Turkey’s Erdogan: Slave Trader by Stephen Lendman Erdogan is an international criminal. His illicit activities are wide-ranging, perhaps involved in virtually all major internal illegal activities - including waging war on regional Kurds and complicity with ISIS. Writing for the German publication Neues Deutschland, Roland Etzel said world leaders ignore his war on his own people. “Erdogan expressed readiness to do a dirty job at the Syrian-Turkish border. His reward is Europe’s silence about Turkey’s crimes,” said Etzel. They include: • training ISIS fighters on Turkish territory;
• arming them with heavy weapons and munitions;

Gonzales arguing that National Security Letters (NSLs) are unconstitutional. NSLs are secret subpoenas for communications logs, issued directly by the FBI without any judicial oversight. These secret subpoenas allow the FBI to demand that online service providers produce records of where their customers go on the Web, as well as what they read and ...

Turkey’s Erdogan: Drug Kingpin by Stephen Lendman In a just world, Erdogan would top Interpol’s most wanted list, along with US-led NATO leaders, Israel’s Netanyahu, and Middle East Arab despots - partners in high crimes too major to ignore. Along with arming and providing safe havens for ISIS terrorists, supplying them with toxic chemical agents, and selling their oil on the black market, Erdogan is a major drug trafficker. Nothing significant happens in Turkey without his knowledge, approval and involvement. RT International reported (US-protected) Afghan opium is processed into high-grade heroin in “clandestine Turkish drug labs for distribution in Europe and ...

Would render executive action “advisory only” GOP presidential hopeful Rand Paul has introduced legislation intended to block any effort by the incumbent president to enforce gun control by executive action. Paul’s legislation, named the Separation of Powers Restoration and Second Amendment Protection Act, would render any action on gun legislation by the president which circumvents Congress as “advisory only” in nature. Paul’s bill would apply to “any execution action on gun control that either infringes upon congressional authority or potentially violates the Second Amendment.” The bill then mandates that once an executive action has been ...

What happens when law enforcement sees civil liberties as an impediment to public safety. If you’ve been listening to various police agencies and their supporters, then you know what the future holds: anarchy is coming—and it’s all the fault of activists. In May, a Wall Street Journal op-ed warned of a “new nationwide crime wave” thanks to “intense agitation against American police departments” over the previous year. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie went further. Talking recently with the host of CBS’s Face the Nation, the Republican presidential hopeful asserted that the Black Lives Matter movement wasn’t about reform but something far ...

Nothing of consequence goes on without his direct knowledge and approval. Various illicit activities let him, his family, and other top regime officials profit hugely. His minions are involved with CIA agents and US special forces in training ISIS recruits on Turkish territory. Their fighters move freely back and forth cross-border to Syria and ...
