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 ...

UN Report Denounces US Human Rights Record by Stephen Lendman It's deplorable. It's longstanding. It's by far the world's worst. It's a pariah state for good reason. Claims otherwise ring hollow. Ongoing genocidal crimes of war and against humanity continue. Homeland victims are targeted. So is humanity globally. America is guilty of every imaginable crime and then some. Torture is sanctioned. Peace and stability are verboten. Permanent war is official policy. So is global state terror. America operates the world's largest gulag. Thousands of political prisoners fill it. Global torture prisons supplement it. Crime bosses make policy. Monied interests control ...
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 ...

NYT Editors Front for Power by Stephen Lendman The New York Times is an establishment broadsheet. It's the leading one. It dates from September 18, 1851. Its feature stories get worldwide coverage. Its editors are notorious. They support wealth, power and privilege. They're on the wrong site of history. They defend the indefensible. They're in lockstep with Western imperial lawlessness. They endorse US global dominance. They turn a blind eye to homeland police state repression. They're mindless about disappearing freedoms. They ignore monied interests running America. They support what demands condemnation. The so-called newspaper of record is the closest thing to an ...

Justices Kagan, Sotomayor and Ginsburg aggressively questioned the corporate challengers who want exemptions from providing contraception under Obamacare at Tuesday's oral arguments. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties say the measure violates their religious freedoms The three women of the Supreme Court dominated questioning at the beginning of Tuesday’s oral arguments in a case pitting religious business owners against the new health care reform law’s mandate that employer-provided insurance cover contraceptive care. The court case will determine whether Hobby Lobby, a Christian-owned craft store chain, and Conestoga Wood Specialties, a cabinet company, can be ...

Obama's Ruthless Egyptian Friends by Stephen Lendman Obama's rap sheet is long and loathsome. He heads a homeland police state apparatus. He's waging war on humanity. He supports some of the world's most ruthless despots. He's in bed with criminal elements of the worst kind. He wants fundamental freedoms eliminated. He wants all sovereign independent governments removed. He wants vile elements replacing them. He elevated Ukrainian fascist putschists to power. Last July, he conspired with Egypt's junta to oust Mohamed Morsi. Martial law followed. Egypt's constitution was suspended. Tanks patrolled streets. Peaceful demonstrators were murdered in cold blood. ...

Weeks earlier, Assistant Secretary of State for European and European Affairs Victoria Nuland was caught red-handed on tape. Her leaked conversation circulated on You Tube. It's more evidence of America's dark side. She and US ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt discussed regime change. Current putschist prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk was named as a Washington favorite. The leaked ...

“NO CONCEALED WEAPONS ALLOWED. If you are such a loser that you feel a need to carry a gun with you when you go out, I do not want your business. Douchebag.” That’s the message Backstreets Pub & Deli recently sent to gun owners with a sign posted in its store window. The backlash against the establishment, located in Clemson, S.C., was swift after the conservative website Twitchy posted several photos of the sign from Twitter. The Washington Times reports that the pub has a one-star rating out of five on Yelp.com, “with pages upon pages of negative comments and reviews by Second Amendment supporters.” The owner of the pub, who identified to himself only as ...

Anti-Russian Propaganda Rages by Stephen Lendman It's intense. It rages daily. It's unprecedented. It exceeds the worst of Cold War vitriol. Malicious misinformation persists. Truth is systematically buried. It's turned on its head. Lies, damn lies and vicious agitprop substitute. Obama officials substitute Russia bashing for responsible diplomacy. On March 14, John Kerry lied claiming: "...(W)e remain deeply concerned about the large deployments of Russian forces in Crimea and along the eastern border with Russia, as well as the continuing provocations and some of the hooliganism of young people who've been attracted to cross the border and come into the east, as ...

Campaigns against their governments continue. Media scoundrels hype Big Lies. So do pro-Israeli and right-wing think tanks. They proliferate them ad nauseam. They drown out truth. Emily Landau is an unapologetic Iran basher. She's an Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) senior research associate. She's a paid propagandist. She lies for power. INSS is Tel Aviv-based.

Washington's Dirty War on Venezuela by Stephen Lendman Throughout his tenure, Obama plotted one lawless regime change scheme after another. How many are too many? What new ones does he plan? How many more wars will he wage? How much more carnage will follow? How much more death, destruction and unspeakable human misery? How much more violence and instability? How much longer will nations for peace and security put up with US lawlessness? Resisting it is a global imperative. Saving humanity from the madness of imperial rampaging depends on it. America tolerates no independent governments. It want pro-Western puppet ones replacing it. It wants ones it controls. It wants Washington ...

New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez was a regular customer of Santa Fe hair stylist Antonio Darden. About two years ago, Darden decided that he would no longer accept the Governor as a client because of her public support for the conventional definition of marriage as a monogamous, heterosexual arrangement. This was a perfectly legitimate exercise of Daren’s absolute property right as the owner of his business. Six years earlier, New Mexico resident Elaine Huguenin, who runs a photography business, declined a request to photograph a commitment ceremony between two women. In doing so, Mrs. Huguenin broke no contract, violated no promise, and didn’t defraud anybody. Like Darden, ...

Many are militant fascists. They're thugs. They're criminals. They're illegitimate putschists. They're xenophobic, hate-mongering, ultranationalist anti-Semites. Combined they represent mob rule. They make mafia bosses look saintly by comparison. They threaten world peace. They vowed to fight. They urge NATO intervention. For the first time since WW II, overt fascists have real power. They hold major government posts. In December 2012, European ...

Once again, the U.S. government is attempting to police the world when it should be policing its own law enforcement agencies. We’ve got a warship cruising the Black Sea, fighter jets patrolling the Baltic skies, and a guided-missile destroyer searching the South China Sea for the downed Malaysia Airlines flight. All the while, back home in the U.S., our constitutional rights are going to hell in a hand basket, with homeowners being threatened with eviction for attempting to live off the grid, old women jailed for feeding crows, and citizens armed with little more than a cell phone arrested for daring to record police activities. Robin Speronis now finds herself threatened with ...

Ukraine is the most serious geopolitical crisis since WW II. Kiev neo-Nazis usurped power. They reckless. They're dangerous. Putin understands well. He knows Washington and EU partners back them. East/West tensions head toward exceeding the worst of Cold War years. Putin met with media representatives. He suggested a format. "Let's have a conversation, rather than an interview," he said. He spoke forthrightly. He tried addressing as many vital issues as possible. He assessed ...

Connecticut has been making news due to their hastily passed gun registration laws. According to some sources as few as 15% of gun owners have actually registered their firearms. News Blogs have been warning state officials are talking about mass confiscations of the unregistered firearms. An AR-15 and high capacity magazine. Plans for these confiscations hit a snag when a legislative intern dared to ask a question. “Who will be going door to door to take all the guns away?” asked the 21-year-old college senior. Reportedly multiple people in the room in the most sarcastic voices they could muster said “the police”. The unnamed intern then pointed at the list and ...

A two-year-old girl got a three-day suspension from her Ottawa daycare Monday. Her offence: Possession of a contraband cheese sandwich. Randy Murray was packing his daughter Faith and son Michael off to the Centre D’Enfant Aux 4 Vents in Barrhaven Monday morning, but they’d missed breakfast, so he made the sandwiches to eat in the car en route. Faith popped hers in her pocket instead, and when a staff member found it, her suspension was automatic. The daycare has a strict ban on outside food to protect children with severe allergies. “This wasn’t a packed lunch or intentionally brought in,” Murray said. “This was purely accidental by a two-year-old.” ...
