Warrantless cell phone searches out. Privacy in. government, privacy | 21 Comments The Supreme Court has been very busy lately. It seems like they’re getting most of their decisions right these days. They gave Hobby Lobby and a Christian college in Illinois victories over ObamaCare, they ruled against President Obama’s appointments to the National Labor Relations Board that bypassed Congress and they decided that public employees should not be forced to pay union dues. Now, the Supreme Court has struck a chord for privacy. This comes at a time when there is little privacy left, thanks to the USA Patriot Act that George W. Bush started and Barack Obama expanded. In a unanimous ...
Everything Western Media Report About Russia Is a Big Fat Lie

Everything Western Media Report About Russia Is a Big Fat Lie by Stephen Lendman Vital truths are systematically suppressed. Willful disinformation, distortions and bald-faced lies substitute - why Western media are called presstitutes, making street whores look good by comparison. More on this below. Longstanding regime change plans lie at the root of US anti-Russian policy - not how the country is governed, its geopolitical agenda or who leads it. Previous articles explained. Washington wants pro-Western stooge governance replacing Russia’s sovereign independence, its vast land mass balkanized for easier control, its resources looted, its people exploited like serfs - a pure evil ...

Jerry Hartfield: Victimized by US Police State Injustice by Stephen Lendman Blacks and other people of color in America are systematically denied due process and judicial fairness. Killer cops murder innocent victims with impunity. African Americans like Hartfield are imprisoned unjustly. In his case, for nearly four decades despite an appeals court in 1980 throwing out his 1977 conviction for the killing of Bay City, TX bus station ticket agent Eunice Lowe. He was on death row until then Governor Mark White commuted his sentence to life in prison - despite no sentence to commute. A Texas appeals court ruling annulled it. He should have been freed straightaway. He’s mentally ...
No Letup in Anti-Russian Propaganda

No Letup in Anti-Russian Propaganda by Stephen Lendman Russia bashing remains intense. Media scoundrels are in lockstep with US policy - irresponsibly blaming Putin for Obama’s war on Donbass, using Kiev foot soldiers as proxies, heading recklessly toward resuming full-scale conflict. Facts on the ground are irrefutable. Kiev forces continue waging naked aggression begun last year, systematically violating ceasefire terms agreed on, shelling Donbass multiple times daily - including residential neighborhoods, schools and other civilian targets. Things are very close to exploding in perhaps greater war than before. Sergey Lavrov expressed great concern, saying: “(W)e are really ...

Mass Support for Chelsea Manning by Stephen Lendman Manning was wrongfully imprisoned for courageously revealing US war crimes Pentagon officials want suppressed. Kangaroo show trial proceedings sentenced her to 35 years imprisonment. Police states operate this way - persecuting their best, honoring their worst, terrorizing anyone challenging what no one should tolerate. Prison authorities treat Manning horrifically. She faced indefinite solitary confinement for having a tube of expired toothpaste in her cell, reading the “wrong” books and magazines, as well as other outrageous charges - willful cruel and unusual punishment as long as she’s imprisoned, a flagrant 8th ...
We Are the Government: Tactics for Taking Down the Police State

“The people have the power, all we have to do is awaken that power in the people. The people are unaware. They’re not educated to realize that they have power. The system is so geared that everyone believes the government will fix everything. We are the government.”—John Lennon Saddled with a corporate media that marches in lockstep with the government, elected officials who dance to the tune of their corporate benefactors, and a court system that serves to maintain order rather than mete out justice, Americans often feel as if they have no voice, no authority and no recourse when it comes to holding government officials accountable and combatting rampant corruption ...
Egypt's New Anti-Terror Law Targets Press Freedom

Egypt’s New Anti-Terror Law Targets Press Freedom by Stephen Lendman Egypt is a coup d’etat installed, US supported fascist police state. Anyone challenging regime authority is targeted for elimination. Thousands of political prisoners languish in hellish gulag conditions. Many others resisting for their fundamental rights are murdered, disappeared or sentenced to death by hanging judges. Junta leader/US War College graduate General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi rules like a modern day pharaoh. Challenging him risks imprisonment or death. Police states call all forms of legitimate resistance “terrorism.” On Sunday, Sisi signed a new anti- terror law, effective August 17. ...

Donald Trump on the Issues by Stephen Lendman He’s the Republican frontrunner so far - with miles to go before next year’s nominating conventions and November election so nothing this early is settled. Far from it. Bombast, bravado and arrogance aside, he’s like all other candidates from both parties - pro-war, pro-business, anti-populist, mindless of what matters most to ordinary Americans. Intending dirty business as usual if elected. The most important issue all aspirants oppose is government of, by and for everyone equitably and fairly - with special concern for society’s most disadvantaged, a vital safety net for people needing it most.

In Memoriam Julian Bond

Julian Bond, the black civil rights activist who was thrice elected to the Georgia legislature before the US Supreme Court finally ruled that the Georgia House could not deny him his seat, died on August 15. Julian Bond was a student at Morehouse College, one of the colleges that made up Atlanta University, when I was a student at Georgia Tech. I was active on the International Students Committee at Tech. The committee had sponsored several dark skinned students from abroad, and we could only get them into the movie theaters by having them wrap their heads in turbans and show their Ga Tech student ID. As Ga Tech itself was segregated, a Tech ID was proof that the movie ticket purchaser ...

Donald Trump Makes Ukraine’s Enemies List by Stephen Lendman There’s nothing redeeming about a demagogic billionaire con man, self-styled celebrity, ideologically over-the-top like all other Republican and Democrat presidential aspirants - other than his in-your-face bravado shaking up an otherwise dull race for the White House. No matter who wins in November 2016, business as usual will again triumph. Candidates differ in style alone. On all issues mattering most, they in lockstep - cardboard cutouts of each other. So why did Trump make Kiev’s enemies list? More on this below. The regime is run by a US- installed gang of criminal misfits - guilty of virtually every crime ...
Obama Voting Rights Act Demagoguery

Obama Voting Rights Act Demagoguery by Stephen Lendman Democracy in America is pure illusion. Human and civil rights are vanishing in plain sight. Voting rights are more fantasy than real for millions - the nation’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged, abused and disenfranchised. Fifty years ago on August 6, 1965, Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law. On August 8, Obama defended it duplicitously. He claimed it “broke down legal barriers that stood between millions of African Americans and their constitutional right to cast ballot. It was, and still is, one of the greatest victories in our country’s struggle for civil rights.” Earlier articles explained ...

Obama Wants Gitmo Hunger Striker for Justice Tariq Ba Odah Dead by Stephen Lendman Odah committed no crimes. He’s victimized by US ruthlessness. He’s been lawlessly imprisoned at Gitmo since 2002 - over one-third of his life. He’s now aged 36. He’s uncharged, untried, yet indefinitely detained because of his nationality. The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) represents him. He’s a Yemeni citizen, abducted in Pakistan, turned over to US authorities, cleared for release in 2009, yet remains lawlessly held in Gitmo hell. He hunger struck periodically throughout his ordeal. He said vicious crackdowns were so brutal, he couldn’t continue resisting. ...

John Kerry Lectures Cubans About Democracy by Stephen Lendman Kerry represents US imperial arrogance, rogue state ruthlessness rejecting democracy worldwide - especially at home. US elections when held are farcical. Ordinary people have no say whatever. Big money-controlled duopoly power rules. All so-called elections turn out the same way. Business as usual always triumphs. Things go from bad to worse. Neocons infesting Washington threaten world peace. Alleged US normalization with Cuba is a thinly veiled scheme to recolonize the island state, steal its resources, exploit its people and open its markets without restrictions to US corporate predators. Kerry berated Cuban ...
Haiti's Sham Electoral Process

Haiti’s Sham Electoral Process by Stephen Lendman Haiti’s only legitimate government in over 200 years was under Jean-Bertrand Aristide (1991, 1994 - 1996, and 2001 - 2004) - twice ousted by US imperial arrogance, a true populist leader serving all Haitians equitably, dedicated to social justice. In 2011, Washington rigged Haiti’s electoral process to install widely despised Duvalierist/anti- populist Michel (Sweet Mickey) Martelly as president. He governs extrajudicially - by decree since parliament was dissolved in January, in violation of Haiti’s constitution. Haiti hasn’t had elections in over four years. When held they’re farcical - rigged to ...
When Nullification Works, and When it Doesn’t

Although leftists often like to condemn nullification as right-wing kookery, the left is quite good at employing the tactic. Certainly, the most successful nullification trend going on right now is in state refusals to enforce federal drug laws. Four states (Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska) have all unilaterally declared recreational marijuana to be legal. Left-Wing Nullification While the successful passage of these measures did require support from libertarians and conservatives, the Colorado, Washington, and Oregon efforts especially benefited from support from people most would identify as so-called left-wing “liberals.” Many other states have unilaterally ...

Journalists Arrested in Ferguson for Doing Their Job by Stephen Lendman Last August after protests followed Michael Brown’s murder, 19 journalists were arrested, according to the Freedom of the Press Foundation. Others were harassed, threatened, tear gassed, pepper sprayed and abused by other brutal police tactics. Authorities wanted journalists confined to a restricted area away from protests - to prevent their reporting on police brutality. Homeland Security operatives were involved. In a news conference, Obama lied saying: “Let me be clear that our constitutional rights to speak freely, to assemble, and to report in the press must be vigilantly safeguarded, especially in ...

Facade of Diplomacy Masks Same Old US Latin American Policy by Stephen Lendman Nothing ever changes in Washington except new faces continuing old policies dressed up at times to look different - same old, same old always. Duopoly power is ruthless, predatory and merciless. Business as usual continues - worse than ever under a so-called “peace” president at war throughout his tenure against more nations than any of his predecessors, destabilizing others globally, pressuring, bullying or bludgeoning independent ones to obey Washington rules or else. New York Times propaganda wants readers to believe otherwise - the myth of a kinder, gentler America. None exists - not now, ...

Torturing Chelsea Manning in Prison by Stephen Lendman US authorities ruthlessly and consistently violate 8th Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment. America has by far the world’s largest gulag system operating globally - filled with thousands of political prisoners, many others warranting only a reprimand (never incarceration), and countless numbers of victims of wrongful imprisonment, including innocent inmates on death row. Chelsea Manning is one of America’s best - a real American hero. She took great personal risks to reveal vital truths everyone has a right to know. In February 2012, Movement of the Icelandic Parliament (MIP) members nominated her ...

Washington Threatens Ecuadorian Democracy by Stephen Lendman Washington rejects democratic governance everywhere - especially at home. Rule by powerful monied interests is longstanding US policy. Sovereign independent countries are targeted for regime change by color revolutions or war - including China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela and Ecuador among others. Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa urged supporters to defend the nation’s democracy and political progress achieved under its Citizens’ Revolution - an initiative implemented during his tenure. On Monday, he said “(t)hey want to provoke the political divisions of the past, but they do not have the political legitimacy or ...

Greece and Troika Agree on Bailout Deal in Principle by Stephen Lendman Greek Economy Minister George Stathakis told the Financial Times: “We have a deal” - for an 86 billion euro bailout over the next three years at a cost of selling Greece’s soul to predatory money lenders, financial terrorists by any standard. The European Commission confirmed “an agreement in principle.” Some details remain to be resolved. According to the FT, “(t)he agreement covers the main points of a sweeping three-year fiscal and structural reform programme agreed with bailout monitors from the commission, the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the European ...

Unjustifiable De Facto Martial Law in Ferguson, MO by Stephen Lendman US federal, state, county or city authorities circumventing constitutional protections with de facto or de jure martial law based on exaggerated state of emergency conditions reveals police state America in plain sight - enforced against the nation’s most vulnerable, grievously abused, justified in demanding redress.

When Alabama DOT Tried to Ban Guns at Rest Stops, the Governor Laid Down the Law Screen Shot 2015-07-30 at 2.46.25 PMYou’d think this is something that would come out of a authoritarian regime like Massachusetts or California. Instead it’s coming from Alabama. In a surprising move for this conservative state, the Department of Transportation has said they’re banning all guns from state operated rest stops citing the danger guns pose to others. Apparently they haven’t been keeping up to date with all of the stories concerning the increase of concealed carry leading to a decrease in murder rates. Guns N Freedom covered the story in detail: In a surprising move ...
