Obama collecting personal data for a secret race database

A key part of President Obama’s legacy will be the fed’s unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of “racial and economic justice.” Unbeknown to most Americans, Obama’s racial bean counters are furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school — all to document “inequalities” between minorities and whites. This Orwellian-style stockpile of statistics includes a vast and permanent network of discrimination databases, which Obama ...
Greek Bailout Deal: Greatest Ever Macroeconomic Management Failure

Greek Bailout Deal: Greatest Ever Macroeconomic Management Disaster by Stephen Lendman Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis expressed this view in a BBC interview. "This program is going to fail whoever undertakes its implementation," he said. Asked how long it would take, he said it "failed already." It's Greece's death sentence on top of all the human pain and suffering imposed - unconscionable governance no one should accept. Pressure in Brussels was intense, said Varoufakis. Monied interests and their representatives don't negotiate. They demand - their way, or else. "We were given a choice between being executed (or) ...
Constitutional Carry in Action

Imagine you’re standing in line at the sporting goods store when multiple armed burglars storm in demanding guns and money. You have only seconds to act. You draw your gun and stop the crime, defending your life and the lives of the other customers. But when the police arrive, instead of being touted as a hero, you’re arrested for not having a concealed carry permit. This exact scenario took place in Topeka, Kansas recently, but luckily, just days before it happened, Constitutional Carry became law in Kansas. So when Joey Tapley -- who didn’t have a Concealed Carry Permit -– found himself confronted with three armed thugs stealing rifles and cash from a sporting ...
Greece: Approving Its Own Death Sentence

Greece: Approving Its Own Death Sentence by Stephen Lendman Two earlier bailouts failed. Repeating what didn't work expecting a different result is the clearest definition of political and economic insanity - creating even greater debt peonage impossible to resolve without defaulting or demanding creditors take major haircuts. Even then, recovery and restoring economic growth won't happen while trapped under Eurozone straightjacket rules - preventing Greece from controlling its own monetary and fiscal policy, as well as its currency able to devalue to stimulate exports. Fascists running things pretending to be social democrats care only about their own self-interest - what best ...

Hillary Clinton: War Goddess, Corporate Shill, Anti-Populist by Stephen Lendman All US presidential cycles are money controlled corrupted processes with no legitimacy whatever. Voters have no say despite believing otherwise. They naively think electing new bums replacing old ones improves things. Their choices are among an array of long ago bought and paid for candidates supporting what most harms them. The late Gore Vidal said "(b)y the time a (candidate) gets to be presidential material, (he or she has) been bought ten times over." "There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party (with) two right wings: Republican and Democrat," he explained. ...
Jade Helm 15 Military Exercises: Preparing for Martial Law?

Jade Helm 15 Military Exercises: Preparing for Martial Law Enforcement? by Stephen Lendman Post-9/11, human and civil rights eroded markedly. They're incrementally disappearing altogether - the hallmark of a police state. America's military/industrial complex, its gulag prison system, militarized killer cops, city streets turned into battlegrounds, along with ongoing war on fundamental freedoms at home and against humanity worldwide define it. America's phony war on terror is duplicitous pretext to suspend the Constitution and declare martial law in case of another major (state-sponsored) 9/11-type event or to quell legitimate civil unrest. A US Army Military Police ...

ECB May Deny Greek Banks More Emergency Funding by Stephen Lendman Despite overwhelming Greek parliamentary capitulation to all Troika demands, Bloomberg reports the ECB's Governing Council will likely keep its Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA) to Greek banks near bankruptcy capped at 88.6 billion euros ($96.8 billion). An unnamed informed source said the ECB's Executive Board recommended maintaining the present limit for now. Greece's central bank requested an emergency 1.5 billion euro increase - apparently not forthcoming. On Thursday, the ECB's Governing Council is meeting as this is written. President Mario Draghi is expected to provide updated information at a ...

Banker Occupied Greece: Requiem for a Failed State by Stephen Lendman It's all over but the obituary. Rubber-stamp Greek parliamentarians overwhelming approved transforming the nation into a banker run colony - by a 229 - 64 vote. Six lawmakers abstained. Coalition partner Independent Greeks leader Panos Kammenos and likeminded party members voted "yes" after rhetorically rejecting Troika terms. The vast majority of bailout funding goes to pay bankers and other creditors - nothing for economic recovery and growth. The price is deeper punishing austerity, greater poverty and unemployment than already, and far more human misery ahead with no end in sight. Only 32 of ...

Tsipras Banishing Ministers Opposing his Sellout by Stephen Lendman He's governing like a despot. Long knives target opposition ministers. Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis resigned after being pushed out - replaced by Euclid Tsakalotos, in bed with Troika bandits like Tsipras. After leaving, he said he's no longer under "incredible pressure to negotiate for a position I find difficult to defend…" He cited the "complete lack of any democratic scruples (displayed by) the supposed defenders of Europe's democracy. (V)ery powerful figures look you in the eye and say '(y)ou're right in what you're saying, but we're going to crunch you ...
The Mess that Nuland Made

Exclusive: Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland engineered Ukraine’s “regime change” in early 2014 without weighing the likely chaos and consequences. Now, as neo-Nazis turn their guns on the government, it’s hard to see how anyone can clean up the mess that Nuland made, writes Robert Parry. As the Ukrainian army squares off against ultra-right and neo-Nazi militias in the west and violence against ethnic Russians continues in the east, the obvious folly of the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy has come into focus even for many who tried to ignore the facts, or what you might call “the mess that Victoria Nuland made.” Assistant Secretary of ...

Iran Nuclear Deal: The Real Battle Begins by Stephen Lendman It's not a done deal yet. It has miles to go with stiff congressional and Israeli opposition. A previous article discussed Netanyahu and AIPAC vowing in less than so many words to undermine what was achieved. Expect them going all-out by pressuring for congressional rejection and scare- mongering Americans to think Iran's nonexistent road to the bomb is facilitated. Two agreements were reached Tuesday. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) begins a lengthy process likely continuing through yearend or longer. Iran must satisfy P5+1 countries and IAEA requirements before implementation of relief in return - ...

Choice for Greeks: Rebel, Leave or Starve by Stephen Lendman Tsipras and likeminded SYRIZA officials proved they're like all the rest - masquerading as populists, governing like corporate tools, ready to unleash police state harshness against public anger over betrayal at its discretion. The price for new bailout funding (mostly earmarked to pay bankers, not aid its crippled economy) is loss of Greek sovereignty - surrendering it to Troika bandits, a death blow to democracy's birthplace. On Monday, modern Greece died. Troika coup d'etat rule replaced its elected government - serving monied interests exclusively at the expense of equity, justice and fundamental human rights. ...

Britain Targets Russian Media by Stephen Lendman Britain, America and other Western nations disgracefully consider real news, information and analysis Russian media provide propaganda - in other words, anything exposing their destructive agenda truthfully. Britain is obstructing Russia's international news agency Rossiya Segodnya (RS). On orders from Whitehall, Barclays bank froze its account unjustifiably without explanation. RS was founded in December 2013 - incorporating the former RIA Novosti news service and Voice of Russia international radio. In November 2014, RS launched Sputnik News and Radio Sputnik. Dmitry Kiselyov heads RS. He blasted what happened - calling it ...

Tsipras Surrenders to Troika Bandits by Stephen Lendman Greece is being systematically raped and pillaged. It's painful to see how easily powerful monied interests can destroy a nation without firing a shot. Financial war is as cruel and ruthless as naked aggression. Long-suffering Greeks understand better than establishment economists - paid to con people to believe destructive policies benefit them. Harder than ever hard times awaits Greeks and ordinary people throughout Western societies. Regimes in Europe and America serve their privileged elites alone at the expense of most others, especially their most vulnerable and needy. Their governments are their worst enemies - in bed ...

Troika Tyranny! by Stephen Lendman Eurozone finance ministers continue meeting in Brussels on bailout terms Greece offered - practically everything asked for, what no responsible government would agree to. Leaked word is it's not enough. Saturday talks ended inconclusively. They resumed Sunday. A scheduled summit of all 28 EU leaders to follow was cancelled. European Council president Donald Tusk said 19 Eurozone leaders will meet instead until talks with Greece conclude. Greece's Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos was apparently told deeper "reforms" are wanted to consider a third bailout. Reuters reported "(t)wo sources saying there was consensus among the ...

The Oklahoma Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decision, has ordered a monument of the Ten Commandments removed from the Capitol. Calling the Commandments “religious in nature and an integral part of the Jewish and Christian faiths,” the court said the monument must go. Gov. Mary Fallin has refused. And Oklahoma lawmakers instead have filed legislation to let voters cut out of their constitution the specific article the justices invoked. Some legislators want the justices impeached. Fallin’s action seems a harbinger of what is to come in America — an era of civil disobedience like the 1960s, where court orders are defied and laws ignored in the name of conscience and a higher law. ...

Iran Nuclear Talks: Mixed Reports by Stephen Lendman Indications are sticking points remain, including Washington upping the bar multiple times to include new issues - violating the letter and spirit of Lausanne preliminary agreement terms, the way US negotiators and top officials do business. At the same time, Iranian officials remain optimistic. Iran's nuclear chief believes a deal can be consummated. Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) head Ali Akbar Salehi said there's "a high chance for agreement" despite Washington making unreasonable demands. Tehran's parliamentary Second Vice Speaker Mohammad Reza Bahonar thinks it can be in a few days - provided ...

U.S. Military Makes Monumental Shift To Hollowpoint Pistol Ammunition (Kills Civilians, Banned Overseas)

The stunning announcement was made at the U.S Army’s Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey yesterday during the military’s two-day “industry day” for the Modular Handgun System (MHS), which will conclude today. A military lawyer who made a presentation during the Industry Day noted that the United States is not a signatory to the Hague Conventions which outlawed the use of “dum-dum” and expanding bullets more than a century ago. It is the military’s position that the shift to jacketed hollowpoint (JHP) ammunition, which more efficiently transfers energy to the target and which presents much less of a risk of over-penetration, is more humane and less of a risk ...

US Bullying Iran to Capitulate in Nuclear Talks by Stephen Lendman Iran nuclear talks continue without resolution - whether possible looks tenuous at best. US bullying bears full responsibility. America doesn't negotiate. It demands - at the same time blaming others for its do what we say or else position. "(W)e are not going to sit at the negotiating table forever," John Kerry blustered on Thursday. "If tough decisions don't get made, we are absolutely prepared to call an end to this process" - code language saying resolution depends on Iran's capitulation to outrageous, unacceptable US demands. On Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif accused ...

Destroying a Nation Without Firing a Shot by Stephen Lendman Predatory monied interests make serial killers look good by comparison. Their business model creates crises to facilitate grand theft, financial terrorism and debt entrapment. They hold nations captive to their demands. They turn crises into humanitarian disasters. They create mass impoverishment, high unemployment, neo-serfdom and human wreckage. They're more dangerous than standing armies. They wage war by other means. They're a malignancy ravaging societies and humanity for profit. The Fed, ECB, Bank of England, IMF, World Bank et al and corrupted Western political officials serve their interests exclusively. ...

Sellout in Athens by Stephen Lendman Popular Greek sentiment on Troika imposed austerity is clear and unequivocal. Last Sunday's referendum left no doubt. Voters overwhelmingly said "OXI" - "NO." Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras ignored them - despite pledging no more austerity, calling the referendum, publicly urging Greeks to vote "no," and by implication indicating he'd support the will of the people. It bears repeating what other articles stressed. He's like all the rest - promising one thing, delivering another, betraying his supporters disgracefully for his own political interests. It's up to millions of long-suffering Greeks to decide ...

US Obstructing Iran Nuclear Deal by Stephen Lendman Talks post-Lausanne's preliminary agreement were supposed to conclude by June 30 - then July 7, now July 13 or perhaps never. Israel and its US Lobby reject any deal. Congress is amenable to terms no responsible governments would accept. Obama wants Iranian subjugation, not a fair and equitable agreement all negotiating countries can accept - one that ends all sanctions straightaway, maintains all sovereign Iranian rights, and at least takes an important step toward normalizing Iranian-Western relations remaining unjustifiably hostile. On Thursday, Western media reported diplomatic sources close to talks indicating they may be ...
