Ukrainians Denied Democracy by Stephen Lendman Claiming otherwise doesn't wash. Moscow called Kiev events "an illegitimate fascist coup and a military seizure of power." Western-supported putschists seized it. At the same time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urges deescalating crisis conditions. It's completely possible, he said. It requires replacing putschists with democratic governance. It involved instituting responsible policies. Ones that protect fundamental legal rights and freedoms of all Ukrainians. Ones that guarantee them. Russia is on the right side of history. It promised help. It set four conditions. It wants legitimate Crimean independence ...

Palestinian Children's Day 2014 by Stephen Lendman In 1925, the World Conference for the Well-Being of Children first proclaimed a day to honor children. In 1954, it was universally established. Dozens of countries recognize it. Variants include the UN's November 20 Universal Children's Day. It was established to encourage all countries to institute a day. It urged doing so to promote mutual exchange and understanding for children's rights. It was done to promote child welfare worldwide. On November 20, 1958, UN members adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. On November 20, 1989, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) became law. Universal ...

Big Lies Drown Out Truth by Stephen Lendman Beating up on Russia persists irresponsibly daily. Big Lies repeat ad nsuseam. Truth is systematically suppressed. Fake satellite photos are the latest. Images of Russian troops allegedly massed on Ukraine's border date from August 2013. More on this below. On April 10, The New York Times hyped the Big Lie.

Meet Obama's New HHS Chief

Meet Obama's New HHS Chief by Stephen Lendman She's like the old Health and Human Services chief. She's Sylvia Mathews Burwell. More on her below. Kathleen Sebelius is out. She said she resigned. Maybe she was pushed. Obamacare claimed its latest victim. She served as chief architect. She presided over its disastrous rollout. Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a giant scam. It rations care. It's a ripoff. It's a monstrosity. It's rife with unacceptable inequities. It does nothing to control costs. They're spiraling out-of-control. They're increasingly unaffordable for growing millions. ACA makes a dysfunctional system worse. ...

The establishment media is now paying attention to Cliven Bundy and his struggle with the Bureau of Land Management. Most of this coverage assumes Bundy is engaged in illegal cattle grazing on federal land. “The U.S. government is rounding up Bundy’s cattle that it says have been grazing illegally on public lands in Clark County for more than 20 years, according to the land-management bureau and the National Park Service,” CNN reports today. The BLM insists “Mr. Bundy has… failed to comply with multiple court orders to remove his cattle from the federal lands and to end the illegal trespass.” It is the BLM, not Cliven Bundy, who is in violation of the law ...
Obama's War on Immigrants

Obama's War on Immigrants by Stephen Lendman Obama exceeds the worst of his predecessors. He governs lawlessly. He does so multiple ways. He targets humanity globally. He does so at home. He's waging racist war on immigrants. He mocks notions of welcoming tired, poor, wretched masses yearning to breathe free. He enforces white supremacist policies. Poor, desperate arrivals aren't welcome. People of color are scorned. America never was beautiful. For sure it's not now. Obama reflects the worst of rogue leadership. He deported larger immigrant numbers than all his predecessors combined. On average he exceeds 1,000 a day. In total it's over two million. With nearly ...

Fascist Police Attack Anti-Maidan Protesters by Stephen Lendman Fascist police operate the same way everywhere. They do it across America. They brutalized nonviolent Occupy Wall Street activists. FBI officials equated them with terrorists. Independent journalists covering them were harassed, arrested, handcuffed and beaten. It happened in New York's Zuccotti Park. They were accused of trespassing. They had valid NYPD-issued press passes. It happened nationwide. Peaceful protesters were accused of pursuing violence. Rogue cops got free reign to attack them. Global justice activists are treated the same way. Free expression is denied. So is public assembly. Petitioning government ...

His family are the last of 53 ranching families that have grazed the public land in Nevada for 140 years.

US Supreme Court Endorses Involuntary Servitude

A slave is somebody compelled to provide service to another. Elane Huguenin, a wedding photographer from New Mexico, was arraigned before that state’s “human rights” soviet for politely declining to provide her services to a lesbian couple planning a “commitment ceremony” (the state doesn’t recognize same-sex marriage). The couple had no difficulty finding another photographer willing to accept payment for that service, and thanks to their punitive impulses – and the totalitarian “public accommodations” law in that state – they were able to use money extracted from Huguenin in the form of fines in order to pay for their photographs.

Eastern Ukrainian Resistance by Stephen Lendman Thousands of Eastern Ukrainians reject Kiev putschists. Perhaps millions. They want local sovereignty. They want autonomy rights. They want them respected. They reject fascist rule. They demand their own referendum. They want Ukraine federalized. Protests continue in Kharkov (Ukraine's second largest city), Donetsk (its largest industrial city), Dnepropetrovsk, Lugansk, Odessa, Nikolayev and elsewhere. They're growing. They're spreading. They have legs. Maybe parts of Western Ukraine will join them. Ukrainians are long-suffering. They rejected Orange Revolution rule years earlier. Perhaps Orange Revolution 2.0 won't fare ...

One freedom at a time, one right at a time, one battle at a time, we the people are losing each and every one of our liberties to federal authorities, and will continue to do so until we stand up against them together. The story below is yet another example of the police state USSA in action. Once again a situation where federal authorities arbitrarily change laws and rules and just expect the general public to blindly follow those rules. Well one man, a rancher by the name of Cliven Bundy, has refused and does not recognize any federal authority over the land and now dozens of armed federal officers, rangers and agents, are preparing a showdown with this one older gentleman you will ...

Madness in Ukraine by Stephen Lendman This year's March madness wasn't in America. Nor what continues in April. Or what preceded it. Or perhaps what's likely to follow. It's in Ukraine. It's ground zero. It represents the greatest geopolitical crisis since WW II. It threatens a third global conflict. It that's not madness, what is? Obama bears full responsibility. His rap sheet is blood-drenched. He's waging multiple direct and proxy wars. He's got lots more mass slaughter and destruction in mind. He wants unchallenged US global dominance. He wants Russia marginalized, isolated, weakened, contained and co-opted. His objectives risk global war. Ukraine ...

Supreme Court Rules for Big Money by Stephen Lendman It didn't surprise. It's supremely pro-business. It's always been this way. It's more than ever now. It supports Big Monied interests. It does so over democratic governance. It's on the wrong side of most issues mattering most. On April 2, it repeated a familiar pattern. Its McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission decision ruled one dollar = one vote. It struck down federal campaign contribution limits. It did so disgracefully. It gave monied interests more power. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts referred to the landmark 1976 Buckley v. Valeo ruling saying: "We conclude that the ...
Court: Improper for Judiciary to Decide Whether Killing US Citizens with Drones Violates Due Process Rights

A federal judge was unable to find no remedy in United States law for a claim that United States citizen’s due process rights were violated when they were targeted and killed by a drone. The case was dismissed because the judge determined the citizen had been properly designated a terrorist, posed a threat to US interests, and the judiciary should not interfere in the areas of “warmaking, national security and foreign relations.” Essentially, this means the executive branch in the US government can claim the power to collect secret evidence as part of a secret review process and place a US citizen suspected of engaging in terrorist activities on a kill list. The decision to ...

Kiev Sniper Shootings: Lies v. Truth by Stephen Lendman Ukraine putschist authorities are illegitimate. Arsen Avakov is interim interior minister. On Thursday he lied. He pointed fingers the wrong way. He outrageously accused Ukraine's legitimate President Viktor Yanokovych, his interior minister Vitali Zakharchenko, and Russian security elements of direct involvement in Kiev sniper shootings. "The former government of the country gave criminal orders and a huge number of people suffered in the 'mincer'," he said. He cited no evidence whatever proving it. None exists. He said a dozen Ukrainian so-called Black Unit Berkut police officers were detained on suspicion ...

INDIANAPOLIS – FBI agents seized thousands of artifacts Wednesday from a 91-year-old man’s private collection at his home in rural central Indiana and says it will return the items that were wrongfully in his possession Donald Miller, from Waldorn, amassed the collection over eight decades, the FBI said. The items include artifacts from Native Americans, Russia, China, and other nations. "The cultural value of these artifacts is immeasurable," FBI Special Agent Robert Jones said at a news conference. He refused to disclose details of any of the individual items taken from Miller's property. Some items were acquired improperly, but Miller, who traveled ...

Last week, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced it did not intend to appeal last month’s court decision which removed Rahinah Ibrahim from the "No-Fly list" – making her the first person in years to be taken off that bureaucratic black- hole relic of the Bush war on terror. This is great news for Ibrahim. But she has been battling for seven years to win this victory for herself. The rest of the however many thousands of folks on that list remain there, with no clear road out of that swamp. And that’s only a small aspect of the myriad ways in which Americans and visitors to America are harassed, oppressed and impeded during their travels. Last month, the ...

While you were focused on the missing Airliner, there was a little case being heard in front of the Supreme Court called U.S. v. Castleman.

The US Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the Bill of Rights is no longer made up of “Declaratory and Restrictive Clauses.” They are judicially now perceived as ...

BOISE, Idaho (CN) - An Idaho state trooper arrested and searched a 70-year-old Washington man solely because of his license plate from Colorado, where marijuana is legal, the man claims in a federal lawsuit. Darien Roseen lives in Washington and has a second home in Colorado. He was driving east on I-84 the morning of Jan. 25, 2013, and had just crossed the Idaho-Oregon Border, when he passed Idaho State Police Trooper Justin Klitch, who was in the median observing eastbound traffic. "Immediately after Mr. Roseen passed his location, Trooper Klitch pulled out from the Interstate median, rapidly accelerating to catch up with Mr. Roseen's vehicle," according to the 25-page ...

Debunking Western Propaganda by Stephen Lendman It's malicious. It's unrelenting. Big Lies repeat one after another. Official sources announce them. Media scoundrels regurgitate them as gospel. It's standard practice. Agitprop substitutes for accurate reporting. Ukraine crisis misinformation proliferates. Responsible Russian replies get short shrift. Often they're ignored. Sometimes they're twisted irresponsibly. On March 28, Vladimir Putin said professional Russian action saved Crimean bloodshed. He thanked "the command and service members of the Black Sea Fleet, other units and formations based in Crimea, for their stamina and personal courage." He ...

It's been quite a while since I've been on Forum. A few of you remember me, and I'm sure some (or many) don't. I feel like Forum is a great place to post this, since I think I can safely say MOST of us feel that what is happening in this country has gotten WAY out of hand. The levels of corruption are staggering. Our courts are making criminals out of all of us, and are willing to commit crimes if necessary to do it. Our legislators are scumbags who have no concerns except their own self-serving interests. Our cities are becoming nothing but dead zones of unemployed people trying to get by any way they can. Our farms are slowly eroding into a few large corporate farms. Our ...

There’s a Secret Patriot Act, Senator Says

You think you understand how the Patriot Act allows the government to spy on its citizens. Sen. Ron Wyden says it’s worse than you know. Congress is set to reauthorize three controversial provisions of the surveillance law as early as Thursday. Wyden (D-Oregon) says that powers they grant the government on their face, the government applies a far broader legal interpretation — an interpretation that the government has conveniently classified, so it cannot be publicly assessed or challenged. But one prominent Patriot-watcher asserts that the secret interpretation empowers the government to deploy ”dragnets” for massive amounts of information on private citizens; the ...

The Real Evil Empire by Stephen Lendman None in human history compare to America. It's by far the most lawless. It's the world's most egregious civil and human rights abuser. It's done more harm to more people for longer than any combination of other nations. None match its ruthlessness. It's genocidal legacy is longstanding. It began in pre-colonial days. Expanding America from sea to shining sea claimed tens of millions of lives. Mass extermination became policy. Centuries of slaughter reduced America's indigenous population to a tiny fraction of its original numbers. Ward Churchill's chilling quote bears repeating. He minced no words, saying: Millions ...
