Disturbing Obamacare Surprises by Stephen Lendman Consumers are in for many rude surprises. Soon enough they'll know they've been scammed. A previous article discussed insurers limiting hospital and doctor choices. Doing so cuts costs. Sacrificed is treatment from relied on providers when most needed. Using their services requires paying costs out-of-pocket. Obama lied claiming: "If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period," he said. "If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what." Obamacare deception is one of many lies he told. Marketplace ...
Gun makers say adios to states messing with gun ownership.

Gun makers say adios to states messing with gun ownership. Following the horrible tragedies at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, and elsewhere, a number of grandstanding politicians saw their chance to exploit the situation by trying to get tougher gun control laws passed in their states. As we’ve discussed before, none of these politicians seems to grasp the obvious. In almost every case of a madman shooting up a school, theater or mall, a good guy with a gun could have stopped the bad guy with a gun and limited the loss of life. But they don’t see it that way. They seem bent on keeping us all helpless when a shooter starts his carnage. Fortunately, gun ...

Human Rights Day 2013 by Stephen Lendman In 1950, the UN proclaimed December 10 Human Rights Day. It did so to affirm the importance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Eleanor Roosevelt chaired the UDHR drafting committee. Seventeen other political, cultural and religious figures joined her. She said: "We must show by our behavior that we believe in equality and justice and that our religion teaches faith and love and charity to our fellow men." "Here is where each of us has a job to do that must be done at home, because we can lose the battle on the soil of the United States just as surely as we can lose it in any one of the countries of the ...
Obama Sentences Lynne Stewart to Death

Obama Sentences Lynne Stewart to Death by Stephen Lendman Lynne's crime was compassion. She was imprisoned for doing the right thing. She did it honestly, admirably and courageously. She did it defending some of America's most disadvantaged for 30 years. Previous articles explained. She's dying. She has Stage Four cancer. She was given 12 months to live. She qualifies in all respects for compassionate release. Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) authorities denied her. Doing so reflects official Obama administration policy. In Lynne's words, BOP "stonewall(ed) since August." "They know (she's) fully qualified." Over 40,000 supporters "signed on ...
Tech Companies Demand Government Surveillance Continue

Laughable. That’s the single word that came to my mind as I read an article in the Atlantic titled “Google, Apple, and Microsoft Agree: NSA Spying Undermines Freedom”. Now, from their title, it sounds as if these companies were standing up for you, the user of their products and services. What actually transpired though, was something far different, and closer to the title of this article. Indeed, these giant corporations that wield so much influence over your life, have sent a letter to the government, which also wields entirely too much influence over your life. This letter outlines 5 points, which these companies say should restructure the manner in which they help said ...
Disaster Averted! Brave TSA Agent, With no Thought For Her Own Safety, Disarms Sockmonkey and Takes His Gun!

Thank God for the brave St. Louis TSA agent that stopped a sock monkey from getting a gun on a airplane. May has a small business selling unique sock monkey dolls. She says she and her husband were on their way from St. Louis to Sea-Tac and she had a couple of monkeys and sewing supplies with her in a carry-on bag. “His pistol was in there,” she says of the sock monkey “Rooster Monkburn,” a take-off on John Wayne character “Rooster Cogburn” from the film “True Grit.” May and her husband were going through the screening process when she noticed that one of her bags was missing. “And the (TSA agent) held it up and said ‘whose is ...
TOTAL BULLSHIT: Facebook and Twitter join tech giants in call for Obama to curb government spying
Post Date: 2013-12-09 07:34:48 by noone222

The world's most powerful technology firms united today in calls to curb government spying on internet users. Bosses from Apple, Facebook, Google, AOL, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Twitter and Yahoo said 'it's time to change' surveillance laws and practices in the wake of revelations about massive U.S. spying on citizens. The rare show of unity by usually fierce competitors is seen as a reflection of the damage in public confidence inflicted by leaks from Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor-turned-whistleblower. Earlier this year he revealed how U.S. and British spy agencies were able to harvest huge amounts of data - including emails and search history - on millions of ...
John Kerry's Anti-Palestinian Agenda

John Kerry's Anti-Palestinian Agenda by Stephen Lendman He's no peacemaker. He never was throughout 30 years in state and federal government service. He's one of America's privileged. He's super-rich. His record shows exclusive support for wealth and power. He spurns popular interests. He's been conducting Middle East shuttle diplomacy for months. He's Israel's man at State. He's no honest broker. He never was. He's not now. His dirty hands are manipulating dead on arrival Israeli/Palestinian peace talks. They're more pretense than real. They demand unconditional Palestinian surrender. Israel is all take and no give. So is Washington. Peace ...

Who Really Runs The Earth? Is It the “United Launch Alliance”? So who really runs the Earth? Who's in charge, here below?barack obama? ben bernanke? Clearly not. These ostensibly powerful men are obviously doing the bidding of others, who remain hidden from sight. They are but pawns. Sock puppets. They mostly do as they are told. So who really runs the show? I am not certain, but I cannot help but notice that someone or something is putting up a lot of very heavy, very secret payloads into Earth orbit. No doubt at all that these missions have to do with setting up a global, social control grid. Click these links:Giant secret satellite blasts off from Cape ...

Western Officials Collaborating Against Ukraine's Government by Stephen Lendman US and other Western officials do it openly. They're doing it lawlessly. They're violating international law. UN Charter Article 2(7) states: "Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter." Under no circumstances may one nation, or combination thereof, intervene against another without Security Council authorization. Article 8 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention of Rights and ...

NSA Mass Monitoring Cell Phone Calls Globally by Stephen Lendman On December 5, the Washington Post broke the story. It headlined "NSA tracking cellphone locations worldwide, Snowden documents show." Doing so enables tracking individual movements. It maps their relationships. It does it in "previously unimaginable" ways. NSA maintains a vast database. It's called FASCIA. It "stores information (on) locations of at least hundreds of millions of devices…" New efforts analyze data collected. Doing so reflects mass global surveillance. NSA claims it doesn't target Americans willfully. It lied saying so. "Incidental" ...

Eric Nave, an Australian who worked to break Japanese codes for Britain and Australia before and during World War II and was the co-author of a disputed 1991 book about Pearl Harbor, died last month, London newspapers reported last week. He was 94.In reporting his death, The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian did not give its cause or say where he lived. Book Sees British PlotThe Daily Telegraph said Captain Nave was "one of the most important pioneering personalities in the secret world of code-breaking" and his "long years in intelligence made him almost compulsively secretive."Born in Adelaide, he joined the Australian Navy in 1916 and later spent years in the ...

Honoring Lynne Stewart by Stephen Lendman Just societies erect statues to do so. They bestow tributes. America persecutes its best. Lynne is a longtime human rights champion. She deserves high praise, not punishment. She remains unjustifiably imprisoned. She's there for her powerful advocacy. She devoted her professional life to defending society's most disadvantaged. She did it because it matters. She's dying. She has Stage Four cancer. Prison authorities denied her request for compassionate release. Duplicitous reasons were given. A second request was submitted. No action so far was taken. Obama wants her dead. A stroke of his pen could release her straightaway. ...

Obama's Rogue Agenda by Stephen Lendman On Wednesday, Obama addressed income inequality. He called it "the defining challenge of our time." He did so disingenuously. Throughout his tenure, he's transferred America's wealth to corporate interests and super-rich elites. He stole it from ordinary people doing so. Even Wall Street Journal editors said "few presidents have done more to increase inequality than he has." Median household income fell throughout his tenure. It's 4.2% lower than when he took office. It keeps heading south. Rich investors profited hugely. Most never had it so good. "Mr. Obama is Chief Economist of Nottingham posing as ...

After You Shoot: Your gun’s hot. The perp’s not. Now what? PHOENIX, AZ --(Ammoland.com)- Don’t end up in more trouble than the crook – George Zimmerman needed this book. So do you. You have guns and plenty of ammo — but that’s only half of your armor. You need to know what to do after an incident. Should you Dial 911… And Fry? What should you say? Lawyers say: “Don’t say anything!” – and that’s impossible! What about your right to remain silent? How do you make that call — safely? Where do you put the gun before the man arrives? What if the perp had partners… or gets up again? If you’re perfectly innocent, do ...

Britain's War on Press Freedom by Stephen Lendman Press freedom is too important to lose. The right to express thoughts and opinions freely is fundamental. Without it all others are at risk. It's being assaulted in America. It's at risk in Britain. Both countries are democracies in name only. Britain has no constitutional free expression right. Police state ruthlessness threatens America's First Amendment. Waging war on freedom is official policy in both countries. They're partners in crime. Modern technology makes it easy. Ordinary people are targeted. So are newspaper editors and columnists. Alan Rusbridger is London's Guardian's editor-in-chief. Last ...
Officer Safety . . . (Why cops fear the Citizens)

If it is reasonable – justifiable – for a cop to base every interaction with a citizen on the presumption that the citizen might be a threat to his “safety,” isn’t the reverse all the more reasonable? That a citizen should assume the worst when confronted by a cop? After all, a cop is known to be armed – and not merely with a gun. He possesses the authority of the state and with it, a far more relaxed standard for using gross and disproportionate violence against a citizen. He can do things to you legally – without fear of repercussions that no ordinary citizen would dare to do – and to which, moreover, the ordinary citizen is legally obliged to ...

Dave, The long and short of our current condition is that we have failed, as did the generation before us, to follow God's laws or rules respecting money and faith. The generation before us allowed the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK to be implemented. Our generation has watched this behemoth take ownership of the country. Once the FEDERAL RESERVE became the creditor of the united States and virtual owner of it the individual States became like counties and lost their sovereignty. That's why there's forced FEDERAL integration which has destroyed the education system and taught the current generation to suck off of the government tit and approve socialist policies. Everyone that you have ...

Contesting Stolen Honduran Election by Stephen Lendman Previous articles discussed it. Honduran elections are won the old-fashioned way. They're stolen. State- sponsored electoral theft is official policy. It's longstanding. November 24 was no exception. Presidential elections were held. Eight candidates contested. Only two mattered. LIBRE party (Liberty and Refoundation) candidate Xiomara Castro challenged ruling National party's Juan Orlando Hernandez. The National Front of Popular Resistance (FNRP) established LIBRE. It did so following the 2009 coup. Dark Honduran and US forces collaborated. President Manuel Zalaya was ousted. Fascist governance replaced him. Hernandez ...

End presidential term limits By Jonathan Zimmerman, Published: November 28 Jonathan Zimmerman is a professor of history and education at New York University. His books include “Small Wonder: The Little Red Schoolhouse in History and Memory.” In 1947, Sen. Harley Kilgore (D-W.Va.) condemned a proposed constitutional amendment that would restrict presidents to two terms. “The executive’s effectiveness will be seriously impaired,” Kilgore argued on the Senate floor, “ as no one will obey and respect him if he knows that the executive cannot run again.” I’ve been thinking about Kilgore’s comments as I watch President Obama, whose approval rating ...

Provoking Iran by Stephen Lendman Observers call Geneva a "historic agreement." It remains to be seen. The proof of the pudding is in the implementation. It's whether Washington upholds its obligations. For sure Iran will. It has everything to gain by doing so. It has much to lose otherwise. Agreed on terms didn't end 34 years of US hostility. Longstanding sentiment hasn't changed. America's imperial agenda remains firm. Its duplicitous history isn't encouraging. Dozens of treaties and deals were systematically violated. Trustworthiness isn't a US tradition. Obama is a serial liar. He broke every major promise made. Is Geneva different? It requires a ...
