Another US Jail Cell Death Sentence by Stephen Lendman When police in America want someone eliminated, they’re as good as dead. Thirty-seven-year-old Black woman Ralkina Jones is another killer cop victim. She was “perfectly fine” the day before her death, according to her sister, Renee Ashford. Last Saturday, she and other family members visited her. “She didn't complain of nothing, saying she was hurting or anything,” Ashford said. She “would want us to find out why. You can’t just tell me one minute I seen my sister, then the next day she’s dead. That don’t even make sense. And it’s just, ‘I can’t help you. I can’t ...

Illegitimate Show Trial Sentences Gaddafi’s Son to Death by Stephen Lendman In 2007, candidate Obama said “(t)he president does not have the power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.” Straightaway after entering office, he expanded drone attacks against Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen. He increased troop strength in Afghanistan after pledging to end war by yearend 2009. US-led NATO aggression on Libya followed. Obama lied claiming Gaddafi “attack(ed) his (own) people. (So) we took…swift steps…to answer his aggression.” A ...

Another Jail Cell Murder in America by Stephen Lendman While family, friends, civil rights activists and good people everywhere mourn Sandra Bland’s death at the hands of Waller County, TX killer cops, Native American Rexdale Henry’s likely murder in Neshoba County, Mississippi jail needs more nationwide attention. Family spokesman John Steele said he was found dead on July 14. As of July 27, results of two autopsies aren’t known. He was allegedly arrested for nonpayment of traffic fines. A Neshoba County Justice Court clerk said records showed they totaled $2,677. He could have paid some not yet indicated, she explained. Possibly the recorded total included late fees or ...

The United Kingdom has gone batshit crazy. There’s simply no other way to put it. I warned about Britain’s “war on toddler terrorists” earlier this year in the post: The War on Toddler Terrorists – Britain Wants to Force Nursery School Teachers to Identify “Extremist” Children. Here’s an excerpt: Nursery school staff and registered childminders must report toddlers at risk of becoming terrorists, under counter-terrorism measures proposed by the Government. The directive is contained in a 39-page consultation document issued by the Home Office in a bid to bolster its Prevent anti-terrorism plan. The document accompanies the Counter-Terrorism and ...

A Man Shoots A Home Invader, What Happened Next Will Leave You Outraged The basic premise behind the use of guns in life or death situations is if someone’s in your home, and you don’t know who they are, then you’re allowed to shoot them. That’s the basic premise. The problem is sometimes police and courts don’t get that. Take a look at this outrageous case. "The man accused of shooting and killing a squatter Monday morning at his relative’s DeKalb County home has been charged with murder, officials said. DeKalb County police spokeswoman Mekka Parrish said Monday afternoon that Terrance Medina, 39, had been charged in connection with the ...

Troika Bandits Want More from Greece by Stephen Lendman The devil in Brussels, Frankfurt and Washington wants its due. Everything gotten so far from Greek self-mutilation isn’t enough. Loan sharks of last resort operate this way - by their own rules with no deviations. Who knows how many more pounds of flesh they’ll demand - all they can get until Greece is entirely pillaged and economically destroyed, its people left in greater duress than already, on their own. On Monday, talks began in Athens to clear remaining hurdles before Troika officials release any bailout funds. They demand more. On Friday, the IMF said about 16.5 euros still to disburse under an existing agreement ...

“Fighting words” from the Dissident Right. The main issues in American politics are mass immigration, demographic change, and the new Culture War against implicit symbols of white identity. A celebrity businessman is now the leading GOP candidate for president only because of his banal truism that illegals from Mexico commit crimes. The overwhelmingly white base of the Republican Party is coping with the brutal reality that European-Americans will be a minority in the country they created. Even the Left is gripped in internecine warfare as an older generation of white progressives grapple with a multicultural monster of its own creation, as minority activists would rather agitate ...

Cleveland Police Attack Black Activists by Stephen Lendman Blacks know Jim Crow remains virulent in America - 1960s civil rights laws did nothing to curb police brutality largely against Black and Brown people. On Friday through Sunday, hundreds of Black Lives Matter activists from around the country met in Cleveland for the inaugural Movement for Black Lives convention. Information about the event said it was organized “at a pivotal time for the growing movement for Black lives in the United States.” “Black people are facing unabated police violence, increasing criminalization, a failed economic system, a broken education system and the loss of our communities to ...

Zoo Animals May Starve in Greece by Stephen Lendman Economist Joseph Stiglitz says Troika demands for more bailout funds “make no sense either for Greece or its creditors.” The so-called “third memorandum” will devastate economic and financial conditions more than already. The entire scheme is misguided, Stiglitz explains. Structural adjustment programs loot countries instead of helping them - “turning downturns into recessions, recessions into depressions,” wherever they’re imposed, says Stiglitz. Greece’s future includes increasingly unrepayable debt peonage, greater unemployment and poverty with diminishing resources for vital public services. ...

Puerto Rico’s Debt Crisis by Stephen Lendman Officially called a “Free Associated State or Commonwealth,” Puerto Rico has been exploited as a US colony since 1898. Its elected governor is powerless - little more than a potted plant ruled by Congress with America’s president its head of state. Washington never granted islanders control of their lives, welfare and destiny. They have no say over foreign relations, commerce and trade, their air space, land and offshore waters, immigration and emigration, nationality and citizenship, currency, maritime laws, military service, US bases on its territory, constitutionality of its laws, jurisdictions and legal procedures, ...

Obama Orders Army to Pay Damages to Trans Man Kept from Women’s BathroomPoliticsby Judicial Watch - Apr 10, 201555422 The Obama administration has ordered the U.S. Army to pay damages for discriminating against a transgender worker by denying the one-time man access to the women’s bathroom after he “transitioned” to female, thus changing his “gender identity.” Additionally, the administration has determined that the Army also discriminated against the employee by failing to use his new female name (Tamara Lusardi) and instead continuing to use the name the man was originally hired under. The case involves a military veteran who worked as a civilian software ...

Iran's Longstanding US-Inflicted Nightmare by Stephen Lendman It began in August 1953 - replacing democratically elected Mohammad Mossadeq (Iran's most popular politician at the time) with a generation of brutal US-installed Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi dictatorship. A 2013 declassified CIA document (marking the coup's 60th anniversary) publicly acknowledged the agency's involvement (Operation TPAJAX) - what's been well-known for decades. Kermit Roosevelt (Theodore's grandson, Franklin's cousin) engineered the CIA's first coup. Harry Truman established the agency in 1947, saying he "considered it very important…to have a sound, ...

Whitewashing Sandra Bland's Murder by Stephen Lendman Every 28 hours on average, a Black man, woman or child is murdered by killer cops in America. Sandra Black is one of their victims - a high-profile one, unlike countless nameless, faceless, unreported victims of US police brutality, at times resulting in unaccountable murders routinely whitewashed when investigations are conducted. Police traffic stops, even violent ones, followed by wrongful short-term detentions, aren't reasons for suicides - unless perhaps victims are so mentally ill and unstable their behavior is unpredictable. Bland was a young Black civil rights activist - a vocal Black Lives Matter movement exponent, ...

Unidentified US Navy Nurse Honored for Refusing Involvement in Force-Feeding by Stephen Lendman Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) deputy communications director Vesna Jaksic Lowe announced possible Pentagon efforts to revoke the security clearance for an unnamed navy nurse - in retaliation for his refusal to participate in unethical/immoral/illegal force-feeding amounting to brutal torture. PHR's medical director, Dr. Vincent Iacopino, called "(t)he military's latest action against the nurse… backdoor retaliation for refusing to take part in an unethical and criminal activity." It's barbaric viciousness America practices with impunity along with countless ...

Anti-Climax in Greece: Epitaph for a Failed State by Stephen Lendman The latest Greek tragedy chapter came around 4:00AM Athens time Thursday. Prime Minister Tsipras- led SYRIZA coalition governance unconditionally capitulated to Troika demands for the second time in a week - with no chance to benefit Greece's economy or provide desperately needed relief for its beleaguered people now facing greater austerity than earlier. Athens' third bailout will fail as dismally as the first two, leaving the Hellenic Republic more greatly debt entrapped than ever - heading toward 200% of GDP on its present path. Financial expert Patrick Young said Greece capitulated to its own ...

Unaccountable Killer Cops in America by Stephen Lendman US streets in minority communities are battlegrounds. The good news is more police killings make headlines though nowhere near as many warranted. Justifiable public anger is noticeably more visible. The bad news is cops in America kill innocent (mostly Black) victims hundreds of times annually with impunity. Activist police brutality critic Sandra Bland was lawlessly arrested after being stopped for a dubious traffic violation. Waller County, TX police lied claiming she assaulted arresting state trooper Brian Encinia. Video evidence showed him harassing, threatening and abusing her. He opened her car door, aggressively demanded ...

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on Tuesday said it will no longer require incoming U.S. citizens to pledge that they will "bear arms on behalf of the United States" or "perform noncombatant service" in the Armed Forces as part of the naturalization process. Those lines are in the Oath of Allegiance that people recite as they become U.S. citizens. But USCIS said people "may" be able to exclude those phrases for reasons related to religion or if they have a conscientious objection. USCIS said people with certain religious training or with a "deeply held moral or ethical code" may not have to say the phrases as they are naturalized. The ...

Maidan 2.0 in Kiev? by Stephen Lendman Ordinary Ukrainians have every reason to oppose fascist governance far worse than what they rejected earlier - a Nazi-infested monster responsible for mass unemployment, growing poverty, hyperinflation, social injustice, horrific deprivation, police state repression, and endless war on its own Donbass citizens wanting fundamental democratic rights. Anti-Russian, Jew-hating, overt Nazi, Interpol wanted criminal (for "public incitement to terrorist and extremist activities") Right Sector leader Dmytro Yarosh called on Ukraine's National Guard, army and security forces to disobey Kiev orders as internecine warfare threatens to erupt into ...

Former IMF Chief Blasts Greek Bailout Deal by Stephen Lendman In 2011, corporate shill Christine Lagarde replaced Dominique Strauss-Kahn as IMF managing director - forced from office by spurious rape charges later dropped. He was targeted for being France's most popular potential left wing presidential candidate (he still is) and for supporting more responsible IMF policies - ones monied interests don't tolerate. Lagarde straightaway showed why she was selected - supporting harsh austerity measures bankers demand, including debt entrapment, predatory capital rules and social injustice. In an open letter "To my German Friends," Strauss-Kahn called Troika Greek bailout ...

Republican Internecine Warfare by Stephen Lendman Donald Trump is a caricature of a presidential aspirant. His views on vital issues are way over-the-top and then some. It's hard taking him seriously most often. He's a billionaire hoping his wealth, bravado and business aggressiveness can put him atop the Republican field in polls when it counts most next year, win his party's nomination for president and beat his Democrat opponent. At best, he shakes up an otherwise dull campaign. He's a diversion from cookie-cutter politics.The Huffington Post doesn't take him seriously. It relegated his coverage to its entertainment section. He deserves justifiable criticism for ...

Concentration Camps in America? by Stephen Lendman Post-9/11 repressive laws transformed America into a police state. US prisons already overflow with political and other unjustly incarcerated victims. It's a short leap to filling concentration camps with dissidents - anyone publicly opposing America run by monied interests and warlords, governed lawlessly, waging endless wars of aggression abroad, persecuting its own people, leaving anyone potentially vulnerable to abuse. FEMA detention camps were established years ago. Perhaps many more are planned. They're used to incarcerate undocumented immigrants before deportations to countries of origin. In 2002, Bush Attorney General ...

Greek Banks Reopen: Bailout Uncertainties by Stephen Lendman After three weeks of closure (since June 29), Greek banks reopened - with lots of restrictions leaving ones imposed earlier largely in place. The Athens Stock Exchange is still closed. Capital controls remain in place. Withdrawals are limited to 60 euros daily or 420 a week all at once. Restrictions on inbound and outbound international transactions are unchanged. Domestic payments resumed - including checking, paying bills and gaining security box access. Since October, cash withdrawals exceeded 35 billion euros. Given dire conditions, expect depositors to want control over as much of their money as possible. German Finance ...
