Destroying Social America by Stephen Lendman It's on the chopping block for elimination. Initiatives began decades ago. Republicans, Democrats and Obama are in lockstep. They're waging war on vital safety net protections. In 1996, Clinton's Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) became law. Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) ended. Time limit harshness replaced it. Five years and out became policy. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) mandates it. States get diminishing amounts of federal funding. Fixed block grants provide it. They're permitted to administer policy freely. They take full advantage during harder ...

Rogue State America by Stephen Lendman Oxford Dictionaries call rogue states "nation(s) or state(s) regarded as breaking international law and posing a threat to the security of other nations." They're authoritarian or despotic and ruthless. They stop at nothing to achieve aims. They spurn human and civil rights. They possess weapons of mass destruction. They sponsor state terrorism. William Blum's done some of the best research. His books include "Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower." He documented how from 1945 through 2005, America tried or succeeded in toppling over 40 governments. It crushed dozens of popular movements. It ...

California College Tells Student He Can't Hand Out Copies Of The Constitution On Constitution Day

As an American with First Amendment rights, you'd probably assume that a "Free Speech Zone" would look something like this: The blue on that map should represent areas where you can exercise your right to free speech. Unfortunately, for many college students, their "Free Speech Zone" shrinks considerably when on campus. One out of every six major colleges have designated "Free Speech Zones" where students are "permitted" to "enjoy" this Constitutional right, and even then there are restrictions. In these colleges, exercising your right to free speech means asking permission at least a couple of days in advance as well as having the ...
"You Know How to Leave": Scenes from a Police Riot in Idaho Falls

“You’re under arrest!” snarled Officer Clark Lund as he lunged into Victor Madrigal’s home, his Taser at the ready. Madrigal had triggered that response by moving to comply with the officer’s unconstitutional demand that he produce his driver’s license. Seconds later, Madrigal – who put up no resistance – was being swarmed by police as his brother Delosanto (known to friends and family as Dindo) was writhing on the floor as a result of an unprovoked Taser strike. Madrigal, a resident of Idaho Falls, Idaho, was not a criminal suspect, nor had he been accused of a traffic violation. He and his wife Alissa were having a Saturday evening barbecue on ...

Whither Occupy Wall Street?

Whither Occupy Wall Street? by Stephen Lendman It’s second anniversary approaches. Observers ask what happened to what emerged in New York's Zucotti Park. It's located in Wall Street's financial district. On September 17, 2011, OWS began. Activists said: "The one thing we all have in common is: "We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%." Saying "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired," civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer (1917 - 1977) said it her way. Today, we're all sick and tired of corrupted officials letting Wall Street crooks steal public wealth. They're doing it at the expense of ...

High School AP History Book Rewrites 2nd Amendment Submitted by RobHino Guyer High School (and obviously several others) are complicit in attempting to condition students to interpret the 2nd Amendment in a clearly opposite manner in which it was intended. The 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th are also misinterpreted as several commenters below pointed out. This textbook, currently being used by Guyer High School, is attempting to redefine the Second Amendment to impressionable young minds. Parents, you must speak up and demand action. Investigate your child's history book ASAP, and post more pictures in the comments below. Call your school and demand that revisionist history books like this ...

Consensus 9/11: New Truths Dispelling Old Lies by Stephen Lendman A previous article explained the following: Consensus 9/11 seeks "best evidence" proof. It does so to dispel official story falsehoods. It's founded on: "(1) The opinions of respected authorities, based on professional experience, descriptive studies, and reports of expert committees. (2) Physical data in the form of photographs, videotapes, court testimony, witness reports, and FOIA releases. (3) Direct rather than circumstantial evidence." Determining "best evidence" depends on "integrating individual professional expertise with the best available documentary and scientific ...

But since the evil govt is now known to potentially listen, monitor & record all human interactions, has that changed the very nature of human communication & undermined peace, dignity, & confidence itself? where are the clergymen condemning this outrage?

• Secret deal places no legal limits on use of data by Israelis • Only official US government communications protected • Agency insists it complies with rules governing privacy • Read the NSA and Israel's 'memorandum of understanding' The National Security Agency routinely shares raw intelligence data with Israel without first sifting it to remove information about US citizens, a top-secret document provided to the Guardian by whistleblower Edward Snowden reveals.

Home Depot Is Accused of Shaking Down Suspected Shoplifters

Jimin Chen received two worrisome letters this summer. Both came from a law firm hired by Home Depot (HD). The first demanded payment of $350 to settle claims that he shoplifted from a California store. According to Chen, in early June he had been wrongly accused of taking two pairs of work gloves (priced at $3.99 each) as he purchased nearly $1,500 worth of merchandise from Home Depot. A second letter demanded $625. Both helpfully included five ways he could pay, and both threatened legal action if he didn’t. Chen didn’t pay. Instead, on Sept. 5, he filed a class-action lawsuit (PDF) in California Superior Court, alleging that Home Depot is shaking down customers for arbitrary ...

NSA Undermines Encrypted Communications by Stephen Lendman Unconstitutional spying is official US policy. Privacy no longer exists. Even encrypted communications are vulnerable. On September 5, London's Guardian headlined "Revealed: how US and UK spy agencies defeat internet and privacy security." They "successfully cracked much of the online encryption relied upon by hundreds of millions of people to protect the privacy of their personal data, online transactions and emails, according to top-secret documents revealed by former contractor Edward Snowden." They show NSA and Britain's GCHQ compromised what online companies are sworn to protect. Virtually ...

Stop Obama's War on Humanity: A Personal Statement by Stephen Lendman Candidate Obama pledged hope, peace and change. President Obama delivered duplicity, war and betrayal. It didn't surprise. His Senate voting record warned. It was way right-of-center. It showed where he stands. His tenure as president does writ large. He's no man of the people. He's soulless, anti-progressive, anti-populist, anti-labor, anti-fairness, anti- dissent, anti-democratic, anti-freedom, anti-civil and human rights, anti-environmental sanity, and anti-government of, by and for everyone equitably. His rap sheet exceeds the worst of his predecessors. He's hard-right, reactionary, ...
Middle Management Psychopaths; The State Needs and Protects Them

Most low level government employees are biding their time. They don’t desire to push people around. Most senior executives are politicians. They don’t want to get their hands dirty. They don’t want to make a politically dangerous order requiring underlings to engage the edge of the knife. Executives want the results. Wink-wink, nod-nod but, they don’t want to tell others to kick skulls. There are too many people that will quote their statements. Too many people documenting what they do. The state is about force and it needs someone to bring it to bear: an unprincipled brute that can produce results; fake results if needed; a pile of “guilty” dead bodies if ...

America's Intelligence Budget Black Hole by Stephen Lendman On August 29, the Washington Post headlined "US spy network's successes, failures and objectives detailed in 'black budget' summary," saying: Post-9/11, US spy agencies "built an intelligence-gathering colossus. (It) remain(s) unable to provide critical information to the president on a range of national security threats, according to the government’s top-secret budget." Its budget totals $52.6 billion for FY 2013. WaPo obtained it "from intelligence contractor Edward Snowden." It discusses a "bureaucratic and operational landscape."

Obama Intends Lawless Aggression on Syria by Stephen Lendman On Saturday, he replicated John Kerry's Colin Powell moment. He lied like he always does. His war plans were delayed. They're not deterred. They're not halted. Obama plans aggressive war on Syria. He does so with or without Security Council and/or congressional approval. On August 31, a White House Office of the Press Secretary release reported his remarks. It headlined "Statement by the President on Syria," saying: "Ten days ago, the world watched in horror as men, women and children were massacred in Syria in the worst chemical weapons attack of the 21st century."

Obama’s Homeland Security Seizing Private Citizen Property Via Eminent Domain Along Mexico Border Posted by Guest Post by Mara Zebest on Saturday, August 31, 2013, 6:46 PM NOGALES, Ariz. (KGUN9-TV) -The feds’ are exercising eminent domain along the Mexico border– buying up property- but paying very little for it. Landowners in Santa Cruz county are livid. “A man’s home is his castle,” said Tony Sedgwick, the co-owner and manager of Carmencita Ranch. “We’ve owned that since the 1950′s.” But now Sedgwick is losing a chunk of it. “They have taken the choicest part of my land,” he said. It’s a valuable, not to mention ...

It maintains large stockpiles of hugely toxic chemical and biological weapons. They're used freely in all US wars. Washington threatens world peace. It risks global war. It's no land of the free and home of the brave. It's not beautiful. It's no democracy. It's run by cutthroat criminals. They're gangsters. They're thugs. They're hoodlums. They're barbarians. They're corrupt. They're morally depraved. They're ethically challenged. They want everything for themselves. They want unlimited ...
In Blow to ‘No Fly’ List, US Judge Rules Air Travel Is a Right

Precedent Could Allow Fliers to Contest Travel Bans Though the case itself is still far from over, a major victory was scored for opponents of the US “no fly” list when US District Judge Anna Brown ruled that the ability to travel internationally by airplane is a constitutionally protected right. The finding is part of an ongoing lawsuit by 13 Americans placed on the “no fly” list, who say they have been barred from travel without any due process, and with no way to get off the list. The Justice Department has insisted that flying is not a right and banning someone from flying is just a minor inconvenience. They also maintain that there is a clear path to appeal being ...
