“…it would be good to know under what circumstances the White House thinks it can kill Americans without a trial.” If Rip Van Winkle awoke just yesterday, he might be dumbfounded at the above sentence. To Americans in the Obama-era, it is an all too relatable assertion. The sentence comes from The New Yorker‘s Amy Davidson and she is referring to the court decision this week that ordered the Obama administration to release the legal memo that authorized targeting an American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki, for assassination. In it’s decision, the court made clear that this does “not challenge the lawfulness of drone attacks or targeted killings.” Instead, as ...

ANOTHER university stops students from handing out Constitution

Two students are suing the University of Hawaii for violating their First Amendment rights after administrator prevented them from distributing copies of the U.S. Constitution — demonstrating a frightening lack of knowledge about the very legal document they were attempting to censor. Students Merritt Burch and Anthony Vizzone, members of the Young Americans for Liberty chapter at UH-Hilo, were prevented from handing out copies of the Constitution at a recruitment event in January. A week later, they were again informed by a censorship-minded administrator that their First Amendment-protected activities were in violation of school policy. The students were told that they could only ...

Who cares? He could believe Bette Midler is the 12th Imam, it doesn't change the fact that the government has sent SWAT teams to collect a tax bill from a free citizen. Poster Comment:I thought that was a great comment about not caring if Bundy believes Bette Midler is the 12th Imama, it is irrelevant. And she is right, it doesn't change the fact that the government sent out scores of well-armed goons to collect a tax bill.
Outrageous Pro-Kiev Op-Ed

Outrageous Pro-Kiev Op-Ed by Stephen Lendman Haaretz editors published it. They know better. They shame their US counterparts. They feature writers excluded from their pages. Western ones substitute propagandists. They're illegitimate. They lack credibility. They masquerade as journalists. US media feature them prominently. Readers are systematically lied to. Hennadi Nadolenko is Kiev's ambassador to Israel. He represents illegitimate fascist putschists. Haaretz editors gave him feature op-space. Doing so was shamelessly irresponsible. Nadolenko took full advantage. He headlined "Nobody wants a war, but Ukraine is fighting back." "Russia thinks it has found ...

Kiev Breaks Easter Truce by Stephen Lendman On April 19, Kiev putschists pledged no Easter weekend Eastern Ukraine attacks. They promised "suspension of the active phase of the anti-terrorism operation" to defuse crisis conditions. A state security service (SBU) spokeswoman said suspension was "linked to the implementation of the Geneva agreement and the Easter holidays." Putschist Foreign Minister Andriy Deshchytsia added: "The anti-terrorist operation was put on hold for the Easter time, and we will be not using force against them at this moment." A day earlier, he said "more concrete actions" will follow next week if activists don't stop ...

Unacceptable Kiev-Sponsored Murder by Stephen Lendman Fascist thugs operate this way. Moscow denounced them. Slavyansk Mayor Vladimir Ponomaryov asked Russia to send peacekeepers for protection. More on this below. A companion article said Kiev putschists pledged no Easter weekend Eastern Ukraine attacks. Straightaway they occurred. Earlier deployed Right Sector neo-Nazis murdered 4 Slavyansk activists. They did so in cold blood. Other gunmen attacked central city residents. Two victims were injured. They remain hospitalized. Expect more Right Sector initiated violence ahead. They bear full responsibility for Maidan killings. Clear evidence proves it. Ousted President Viktor ...

Learn what Hillary meant by ‘vast right-wing conspiracy’ WASHINGTON – If you want to learn what Hillary Clinton meant by “the vast right- wing conspiracy,” part of the extensive collection of dossiers the Clinton White House kept on its media enemies was released Friday by the Clinton Library. The most important of the documents, “The Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce,” originally some 331 pages, was reduced to only 28 pages in the sanitized and heavily redacted version posted by the presidential library. “The Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce refers to the mode of communication employed by the right wing to convey their ...

Koch Brothers-Style Free Society by Stephen Lendman Charles and David Koch are modern-day robber barons. They're multi-billionaires. Forbes estimates their April 2014 net worth at $40.3 billion each. Charles is Koch Industries (KI) chairman and CEO. David is executive vice president. They're $6 billion richer this year than last. They make money the old fashioned way. Behind every fortune lies a great crime, said Balzac. Maybe he was thinking of Charles and David. KI is America's second largest private company. Agribusiness giant Cargill holds top spot. Its estimated 2013 revenues were $136.7 billion. KI's are an estimated $115 billion. Both companies way outdistance ...

Kiev Violates Four-Party Agreement by Stephen Lendman The ink wasn't even dry. On April 17, deal terms was struck. A previous article discussed them. Hold the cheers. They're not worth the paper they're written on. Washington negotiates duplicitously. Promises made are systematically broken. Don't expect this time to be different. Kiev's illegitimate putschists didn't surprise. They violated agreement terms. They did so straightaway. They acted with full US support. More on this below. On April 17, a joint US/EU/Russia/Ukraine statement said the following: "The Geneva meeting on the situation in Ukraine agreed on initial concrete steps to de-escalate ...

Fake Donetsk Letter Circulating by Stephen Lendman John Kerry denounced it, saying: "During the past couple of days Jews in one of the cities were sent letters that they should declare themselves as Jews. The letter also contained threats." "By 2014, after all the lessons that history has presented to us, it is not just unacceptable. It is - absurd. This is - beyond acceptability." "People involved in this kind of activity on both sides need to understand that there is no place for this." The story went viral. Media scoundrels feature it. The New York Times headlined "Demands That Jews Register in Eastern Ukraine Are Denounced, and Denied. ...

Four-Party Agreement on Ukraine by Stephen Lendman On April 17, Russian, US, EU and Ukrainian foreign ministers met in Geneva. Discussion focused on deescalating Ukrainian crisis conditions. A joint document was agreed on. It's not worth the paper it's written on. Washington's word isn't its bond. Its history reflects one broken promise after another. Don't expect this time to be different. Ukraine's crisis may escalate. Perhaps the worst of all possible outcomes will follow. The fullness of time will tell. Following discussions Sergei Lavrov explained an agreement reached, saying: All parties must refrain from "violence, intimidation, or provocative ...
Obama Admin Makes New Rules on Grains, Breweries Rebel

Obama Admin Makes New Rules on Grains, Breweries Rebel For generations brewers have been selling leftover brewing grains to farmers to feed to their livestock, but now the feds want to interfere and make that transaction harder and more expensive, a move that will drive up the costs of both beer and food. But America's breweries and farmers are not taking this quietly. "The whole brewing community was shocked about it," Josh Deth, co-owner of Revolution Brewing in Chicago, told Fox News. Currently brewers make deals with farmers where the farmers cart off the used grains. Often the deal is done without cost to both parties. "We're trading, giving something of ...

How does Washington get away with the claim that the country it rules is a democracy and has freedom? This absurd claim ranks as one of the most unsubstantiated claims in history. There is no democracy whatsoever. Voting is a mask for rule by a few powerful interest groups. In two 21st century rulings (Citizens United and McCutcheon), the US Supreme Court has ruled that the purchase of the US government by private interest groups is merely the exercise of free speech. These rulings allow powerful corporate and financial interests to use their money-power to elect a government that serves their interests at the expense of the general welfare. The control private interests exercise over ...

Duplicitous Human Rights Misinformation on Ukraine by Stephen Lendman A previous article discussed UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay. It discussed her duplicitous anti-Assad report. It wasn't her first one. It won't be her last She's a reliable imperial tool. She buries truth. She lies for power. Her credibility long ago was lost. Not a shred of it remains. She never had any in the first place. It launched her career earlier. It sustained it. Her new report supports illegitimate putschist fascists. It's titled "Misinformation, propaganda and incitement to hatred need to be urgently countered." During months of Maidan protests, Berkut special ...

Bundy Ranch and the new rules of engagement: Send this analysis to your favorite fed (NaturalNews) In the aftermath of round one of the Bundy Ranch armed siege by the U.S. government, I have decided to offer the federal government an intelligent analysis of the new rules of engagement. People like Daniel P. Love, Special Agent in Charge of BLM Region 3, desperately need to review and learn these rules. Other federal agents also need to understand the tectonic shift of power that has just taken place and how it will impact their operations from here forward.Why am I doing this? Because the BLM, through its astounding incompetence and arrogance, very nearly initiated a massacre at Bundy ...

Ukrainians Resist by Stephen Lendman They're the best and bravest. They reject Kiev putschists. They're what democracy looks like. They want fundamental rights everyone deserves. They're putting their bodies on the line for them. They're a model for freedom-loving people everywhere. The only solution to state repression is revolution. It grips Eastern Ukraine. It's spreading throughout the region. Activists in a dozen or more cities are involved. So are others in small towns and villages. What's ongoing perhaps heads toward mass insurrection. Democratic change requires sustained resistance. Ukrainians represent hope. They deserve universal support. On April ...

Duplicitous Obama Civil Rights Hyperbole by Stephen Lendman Obama represents the worst of rogue governance. On April 10, he honored Lyndon Johnson. One war criminal paid tribute to another. He spoke at his Austin-based Presidential Library and Museum. He did so commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. His words rang hollow. The New York Times called his speech "stirr(ing)." It stopped short of denouncing his duplicity. More on what he said below. America's human and civil rights record is by far the world's worst. No other nation matches its lawlessness. None approach it. It's by far the world's most unprincipled. It's responsible ...

Navi Pillay: US Imperial Tool by Stephen Lendman On April 14, her latest report looked like earlier ones. She lies for power. She condemned "rampant use of torture in detention in Syria." She duplicitously blames Assad largely. More on what she said below. Syria condemned earlier fabricated torture reports. On January 22, its Justice Ministry dismissed a UK Carter-Ruck law firm politicized report. It called it baseless. It lacked "objectivity and professionalism," it said. Carter-Ruck is linked to Syrian opposition groups. Its report was malicious propaganda. It buried truth. It had no credibility whatever. Its aim was discrediting Syria. It tried subverting ...

We're All Ukrainians Now by Stephen Lendman On February 22, 2014, Ukrainian freedom died. Western-supported fascist putschists seized power. They ousted Ukraine's democratically elected government. Mob rule replaced it. Illegitimate xenophobic, ultranationalist, neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic thugs run things. They do so with full US backing. Eastern Ukrainians reject Kiev putschists. They want democracy. They want the real thing. They want what Americans don't have. They're going all-out to get it. They're a role model for freedom fighters everywhere. They deserve universal support. They continue rallying across Eastern Ukraine. They seized government buildings. ...

What Ukraine Propaganda Looks Like by Stephen Lendman It's like US propaganda. Like other Western propaganda. Big Lies repeat. They proliferate. They follow one after another. Truth is systematically buried. The Ukrainian News Agency (UNA) is Kiev-based. It's part of the UA Inter Media Group Limited. It owns 61% of the Ukrainian TV channel Inter. On April 13, it headlined "Foreign Ministry: There is Evidence of Russian Special Forces' Involvement in Seizure of Government Facilities in Eastern Ukraine." Allegations are baseless. No evidence whatever proves them. John Kerry accused Russia of the same thing. Sergei Lavrov confronted him responsibly. In diplomatic ...
How Lending A Friend Your Car, Then Going to Bed Can Land You a Life Prison Sentence

Several years ago I read a piece in The New York Times by Adam Liptak about Ryan Holle. Ryan, who had no prior record, is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole in Florida. He was convicted of pre-meditated murder, even though no one, including the prosecutor, disputes that Ryan was asleep in his bed at home at the time of the crime. This could only happen in America, because we are the only country that retains the Felony Murder Rule. What the Felony Murder Rule essentially says is if anyone has anything to do with a felony in which a murder takes place, such as a robbery, that person is as guilty as the person who has committed the murder. Every other country including England, ...

Last week, Congress unanimously voted to deny him visa permission to enter America. Effectively he was declared persona non grata. Legislation passed "den(ies) admission to the United States to any representative to the United Nations who has engaged in espionage activities against the United States, poses a threat to United States national security interests or has engaged in a terrorist activity against the United States." Neocon Ted Cruz (R. TX) sponsored Senate legislation. He ...
