Donetsk, Lugansk, Kharkov Opt Out of Sham May 25 Elections by Stephen Lendman They mock legitimate ones. Choices exclude democracy. Fascist ones alone will compete. Results are largely pre-determined. No matter who wins, ordinary Ukrainians lose. Eastern regions won't participate. Days earlier, Donetsk and Lugansk leaders opted out. On May 18, Kharkov's Yuri Apukhtin said: His "region will hold a referendum on independence following Donetsk and Lugansk." "Our task is not to participate in Ukrainian presidential elections in any case." "We should meet on this square on May 25. We do not recognise these elections." On May 17, second round sham ...

ROUND ROCK, Texas – A Texas man is facing up to life in prison for his baking habit. Joe Lavoro said, “It’s outrageous. It’s crazy. I don’t understand it.” Lavoro says he can’t understand why his son is in so much legal trouble. Authorities say 19-year-old Jacob Lavoro is accused of making and selling pot brownies. He is being charged with a first-degree felony. Lavoro said, “Five years to life? I’m sorry. I’m a law abiding citizen. I’m a conservative. I love my country. I’m a Vietnam veteran, but I’ll be damned. This is wrong.” Jack Holmes, Lavoro’s attorney, said, “I was outraged. I’ve been doing this ...

WASHINGTON — As hundreds of commuters emerged from Amtrak and commuter trains at Union Station on a recent morning, an armed squad of men and women dressed in bulletproof vests made their way through the crowds. The squad was not with the Washington police department or Amtrak’s police force, but was one of the Transportation Security Administration’s Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response squads — VIPR teams for short — assigned to perform random security sweeps to prevent terrorist attacks at transportation hubs across the United States. “The T.S.A., huh,” said Donald Neubauer of Greenville, Ohio, as he walked past the squad. “I thought they ...
Why Liberty Dies

To understand why liberty is imperiled in our country today we must first state clearly and unequivocally what is liberty. Then and only then can we understand what is necessary for its preservation as well as see what is undermining it today. Liberty is the absence of coercion and the freedom to act upon your own will within the perimeters of not infringing the freedom of action of others. The only way that has been found among the societies of man to ensure, promote and protect liberty is through the rule of law. The rule of law means that government is not allowed to coerce an individual except through the enforcement of a previously known and explicitly stated principle of limited ...

Justifying the Unjustifiable

Justifying the Unjustifiable by Stephen Lendman Navi Pillay is UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. She's a reliable imperial tool. She betrays her mandate. She does so consistently. She disgraces the office she holds. She twists vital truths irresponsibly. She substitutes misinformation rubbish. She serves Western interests exclusively. She's up to her old tricks again. Her new report is titled "Report on the human rights situation in Ukraine." It’s infested with lies. It whitewashes what's most important to reveal. On the one hand, it totally ignores fascist putschists usurping power. Imposing hardline rule. Governing lawlessly. Targeting all opposition ...
Police Now “Armed For War” Against Returning Veterans

In an interview with Fox 59, a Morgan County, Indiana Police Sergeant admits that the increasing militarization of domestic police departments is partly to deal with returning veterans who are now seen as a homegrown terror threat. In a chilling story entitled Armed for War: Pentagon surplus gives local police an edge, we learn how a Mine Resistant Vehicle (MRAP) which was once used during the occupation of Afghanistan will now be “patrolling the streets of central Indiana,” according to the report. Sgt. Dan Downing of the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department states, “When I first started we really didn’t have the violence that we see today,” adding, “The ...

Fighting for Internet Freedom by Stephen Lendman A previous article discussed Obama's war to destroy it. In 2008, he pledged support. He called "preserv(ing) the benefits of open competition on the Internet" essential. He lied saying so. He's waging war on free expression. He prioritizes intellectual property protection over Internet freedom. He's targeting it for elimination altogether. He appointed corporatist Tom Wheeler FCC chairman. He deplores Internet freedom. He wants pay-to-play fast lanes. They're polar opposite Net Neutrality. They play favorites. They banish others to slow lanes. Pay more, get more. Pay less, get left behind. Doing so weakens ...

(See Videos On Site) In a controversial move following protests against deadly force by police in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the department has promoted a commander previously accused of burning off part of homeless man's ear with a taser. The announcement came Thursday, with the Associated Press reporting that Albuquerque Police Department Chief Gordon Eden said the promotion of both Timothy Gonterman and Anthony Montano would help the force implement reforms outlined by the Department of Justice. As RT reported previously, police in the area have come under fire for using excessive force in situations where it was deemed unnecessary. In a report on law enforcement's behavior, the ...

Fake Ukrainian National Unity Talks by Stephen Lendman Coup-appointed prime minster Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced so-called "roundtable for national unity" talks. On Wednesday, they began in Kiev. So-called groups with "legitimate political goals (and) no blood on their hands" were invited. Coup-appointed officials ran things. Former presidents Leonid Kravchuk and Leonid Kuchma attended. So did coup-friendly parliamentarians, regime vetted presidential candidates, other government officials, various coup supporters, businessmen, and hand-picked representatives of selected public and international organizations. Yatsenyuk said Ukraine faces a "super complicated ...

Tech billionaire silent on decision to use armed guards to close California public beach

A billionaire who bought a popular beach only to close it off to the public finally spoke on the contentious issue on Monday, although his comments seem to have only generated more frustration among concerned Californians. Vinod Khosla, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who co-founded Sun Microsystems – a computing pioneer perhaps best known for developing the Java programming language – took the witness stand in a civil trial on Monday regarding his purchase of Martins Beach. The civil suit was first filed in San Mateo County in March 2013 against the then-unidentified owner of the beach for painting over a billboard welcoming people to the seaside location, locking the gate, ...
This Is Why They Should Knock First: Multiple Cops Shot, One Killed in No Knock Raid

A lot of people — innocent people — and their pets have wound up dead during no knock raids in recent years in this country. A no knock raid is when officers can serve a warrant on a house without notifying the residents first. At all. Period. Without ringing the doorbell, calling first, a knock, nothing. Police typically do it in the middle of the night or in the wee hours of the morning, too, when people are more likely to be asleep. The majority of these raids aren’t even for violent crimes or imminent threats to life and limb, but drug crimes. So a lot of people tend to die. It’s a pretty stupid way to enforce laws. We live in a country where the citizenry are ...
The United Stasi of Amerika

Over the top doesn’t begin to describe where the US Police State has gone. From daily beatings, killings and arbitrary incarcerations to beyond Orwellian surveillance and armored military patrolling their streets, Americans have transitioned into a full blown Stasi controlled State. Just google “police state america” and you’ll see there are over 620 MILLION results. This is clearly no secret, yet the hordes trundle on like nothing’s happening. Who were the Stasi and why is this label appropriate? The East German secret police, known as the Stasi, were an infamously intrusive secret police force. They amassed dossiers on about one quarter of the population of the ...
Police Dog Bites 8-Yr-Old Boy During "Search Demonstration" On School Playground

Police conducting a "search demonstration" at an elementary school in Gainesville, Florida allowed a child to get bit by their police dog after the 8-year-old entered a "fenced off area" on the school's playground where the demonstration was performed. The dog charged the child and bit him on his upper-right thigh, The Independent Florida Alligator reports. Police said they "regret" the incident occurred, but said they won't cancel future demonstrations because they've never had a similar incident occur that they're "aware of." Why children need to be taught how police K-9 searches are performed on their elementary school ...

Russell Maroon Shoatz: One of Thousands of US Political Prisoners by Stephen Lendman Thousands of political prisoners languish in America's gulag. It's one of the world's worst. It's the largest by far. It's supplemented by dozens of global torture prisoners. They're in numerous countries. They're black holes of viciousness. Their existence alone reveals America's dark side. Marc Mauer heads the Sentencing Project. He's a leading criminal justice system authority. His "Race to Incarcerate" book was groundbreaking. It focuses on America's rage to punish. To imprison. To fill prison beds. To commodify criminal injustice. To harm ...
Five items Congress deleted from Madison’s original Bill of Rights

When James Madison spoke to the First Congress he proposed 20 amendments for a Bill of Rights, and not the 10 we all know about. So what did Congress delete from the final list that was ratified by the states? James_Madison_cropped1There were some very significant deletions as his proposed list went through the House and Senate, and Madison himself took part in the decisions to edit out some of his own ideas. List: Read Madison’s original proposed Bill of Rights In the end, 12 of the 20 amendments survived the congressional approval process. Enough states approved 10 of those 12 amendments to make the Bill of Rights a reality on December 15, 1791. One of two bypassed amendments was ...

The US Congress has allocated a fund of $69 million for a new secret jail at Guantanamo Bay to hold the 9/11 mastermind and several former CIA prisoners. The GOP-led House Armed Services Committee allocated the fund Wednesday to build a new “high-value detainee complex” that would replace the crumbling "Camp 7" detention center, which keeps 15 former CIA prisoners, including six men awaiting death penalty trials, at Camp 7. The six include Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four alleged accomplices accused of plotting the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks as well as the alleged plotter of al-Qaeda’s 2000 suicide bombing of the USS Cole destroyer, Abd al Rahim al Nashiri. ...

From the article. "The more important questions are: How do you know you are doing nothing that could be construed as wrong by some state functionary? How do you know you are not breaking some law somewhere? And why are you so implicitly trusting that your government would never do anything evil with the information it has collected on you?"

“Live free or die” is the motto of the state of New Hampshire. I hope the residents areprepared to die, because living free is not what they do. NH is merely a cog within theAmerikan Stasi State, but I am referring to what goes on within NH itself, not the police state existence imposed by Washington. On May 5 attorney William Baer was arrested at a school board meeting at which he went over a 2-minute speaking rule while trying to get some explanation from the Gilford, NH, school board for assigning sexually explicit reading material to his 14-year old daughter’s English class. The evasiveness of the school board angered Mr. Baer, and he spoke out again in support of ...

Kiev Obstructs Peaceful Dialogue by Stephen Lendman Coup-appointed putschists are convenient US stooges. Washington manipulates their policies. They salute and obey. They spurn peaceful dialogue. They continue lawless aggression. They do so against their own people. They do it with full US support. On May 8, Russia's Foreign Ministry said they sabotaged OECD peaceful conflict resolution dialogue. "The reaction to the results of the Moscow meeting between the presidents of Russia and Switzerland that came from the Kiev authorities, who have essentially jeopardized the OSCE efforts to launch an inclusive dialogue, is deeply regrettable," the ministry said.

Dershowitz: Hate Speech Laws 'Dangerous Trend' Thursday, 08 May 2014 01:02 PM By Jennifer G. Hickey Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts has introduced legislation calling for the government to investigate "hate speech" on broadcast, cable, and Internet outlets — a bill that is raising concerns from First Amendment advocates and constitutional experts. Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz called the enactment of hate speech laws a "dangerous trend." "I have never in my life seen a successful effort to define hate speech that does not interfere with rights of free expression," Dershowitz told Newsmax. "It is a worthy effort, but my ...

Fascism's Willing Co-Conspirators by Stephen Lendman Western media scoundrels mock legitimacy. They march in lockstep with lawless US policy. They misinform readers and viewers. They spurn truth and full disclosure. They proliferate Big Lies. They violate core journalistic ethics doing so. They shame themselves in the process. Ukraine is in the eye of the storm. Managed news misinformation persists daily. Irresponsible Russia bashing is featured. Truth is twisted to fit US imperial policy. It's turned on its head. It's pure garbage. It doesn't matter. It's featured daily. America's so-called newspaper of record matches the worst of irresponsible journalism. ...
