Snowden: Nobel Peace Prize Nominee by Stephen Lendman Swedish Sociology Professor Stefan Svallfors nominated him. He praised his "heroic effort at great personal cost." He revealed NSA's lawless global spying. He told millions worldwide what they need to know. He did so at great risk. He deserves high praise, not persecution. He showed "individuals can stand up for fundamental rights and freedoms," said Svallfors. His nominating letter states: "Best committee members! I suggest that the 2013 Peace Prize (be) awarded to the American citizen Edward Snowden. Edward Snowden has - in a heroic effort at great personal cost - revealed the existence and extent ...

Snowden in Russia by Stephen Lendman Snowden remains in Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport transit zone limbo. Russia's his safest option. Traveling elsewhere's too risky. It's hazardous. He's seeking temporary asylum. Odds are he'll get it. Moscow won't extradite him. It has no treaty obligation to do so. Washington never repatriated Russian defectors. Heavy US pressure's exerted anyway. Few countries resist. Few push back effectively. China can do it. So can Russia. On the one hand, Putin values good relations. On the other, he won't be bullied. Supporting Snowden's politically advantageous. According to Der Spiegel: His activist status largely united a ...
Lawlessness Is Official US Policy

Lawlessness Remains Official US Policy by Stephen Lendman Sweeping mass surveillance continues. It won't stop. It's intensifying. It reflects rogue state governance. It has nothing to do with national security. Claiming it's a red herring. It's about control. It's to advance America's imperium. It's political and corporate espionage. It's monitoring truth-tellers. It's targeting constitutional rights. It's eliminating freedom altogether. It's institutionalizing tyranny. It made America a police state. It's coup d'etat authority. Too few Americans understand. Two few who do challenge it responsibly. Washington "lacks ...

Napolitano to Head University of California by Stephen Lendman On July 12, the Los Angeles Times headlined "Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security chief, to head UC," saying: Her "nomination by a committee of UC regents came after a secretive process that insiders said focused on her early as a high-profile, although untraditional, candidate who has led large public agencies and shown a strong interest in improving education." UC officials said her cabinet experience "will help UC administer its federal energy and nuclear weapons labs and aid its federally funded research in medicine and other areas." Sherry Lansing headed UC's search committee. She ...

Zimmerman: Not Guilty of Cold-Blooded Murder by Stephen Lendman When is killing a non-threatening unarmed teenager not murder? When civil rights don't matter. When Jim Crow justice prevails. When the victim is black. When mostly white women jurors call cold-blooded murder self-defense. (Note: Juror B29 was the sole Hispanic. Zimmerman's white. He's Hispanic. His voter registration form identifies him that way. His father calls himself white. His mother's Peruvian). Killing Trayvon Martin's not murder when a jury of peers representing both sides fairly is verboten. When killing black males in America is OK when whites do it. When a culture of violence ...

Coup d’etat — Paul Craig Roberts

The American people have suffered a coup d’etat, but they are hesitant to acknowledge it. The regime ruling in Washington today lacks constitutional and legal legitimacy. Americans are ruled by usurpers who claim that the executive branch is above the law and that the US Constitution is a mere “scrap of paper.” An unconstitutional government is an illegitimate government. The oath of allegiance requires defense of the Constitution “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” As the Founding Fathers made clear, the main enemy of the Constitution is the government itself. Power does not like to be bound and tied down and constantly works to free itself from ...
Gitmo Force-Feeding Continues Through Ramadan

Gitmo Force-Feeding Continues Through Ramadan by Stephen Lendman Doing so constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. It inflicts excruciating pain and suffering. It's aggravated assault writ large. It's torture under international law provisions. It violates human dignity. It reflects disdain for human suffering. It's Josef Mengele-style treatment. Nazi prisoners were coerced. They had no choice. Experiments constituted torture. Obama reflects the worst of cruel despots. As president and commander-in-chief, he's empowered to stop what's unconscionable to allow. Dismissively he lets it continue. Doing so's a crime against humanity. It persists viciously. It does so ...

Snowden's Asylum Quest by Stephen Lendman Snowden reflects the best of heroic activism. He acted responsibly. He did the right thing. He committed no crimes. He knew the risks and took them. Few would do as much. Legions more are needed. Maybe he'll inspire others to come forward. Today they're more than ever needed. He sacrificed financial security, personal freedom and well-being. He did so to expose serious US high crimes. Potentially everyone's harmed everywhere. Millions worldwide support him. Everyone should. On Friday, he met with representatives from 13 human rights organizations. He did so in Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport transit area. It was closed to the ...

Obama Blocks Snowden's Asylum by Stephen Lendman On July 12, Russia Today (RT) headlined "US 'blocks my asylum:' Snowden human rights activists to airport meeting," saying: Snowden remains stuck. He's in limbo. He's at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport. He's in its transit area. A source told Interfax he'll meet with human rights organizations late Friday. Airport spokeswoman Anna Zakharenkova said she "can confirm that such a meeting will take place." Snowden invited a UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) representative, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Transparency International and Poland's Krido Legal. Moscow ...

Wrongheaded Fed Policy by Stephen Lendman It's been that way far too long. Bernanke and other Fed governors represent Wall Street. They're hired hands. They take orders and obey. They consistently spurn good policy. Greenspan created an earlier mother of all bubbles. Bernanke exceeded the worst of his policies. Day of reckoning time awaits. The fullness of time will decide when. June FOMC minutes confirmed trouble. Members will keep buying mortgage-backed securities and longer-term Treasuries. They split evenly on when to stop. Half the governors want QE ended late this year. Bernanke and others want it continued into 2014. Some believe labor market conditions improved. They ...

MOSCOW -- Edward Snowden reportedly emerged from his airport hideout in Moscow to meet human rights groups Friday, accusing U.S. officials of “threatening behavior” in thwarting his attempts to seek asylum. The self-declared leaker of classified NSA documents met officials from Human Rights Watch and other groups at Sheremetyevo Airport, according to the organization. He has been holed up in the airport's transit zone since flying from Hong Kong on June 23. Although the meeting was not public, rights group representatives posted details to Twitter. The U.K.'s Guardian newspaper, which published Snowden's revelations, posted a picture of the fugitive - the first ...

Rage Against the System: Why It Matters by Stephen Lendman Public anger in Egypt, Turkey, Palestine, Brazil, Chile, across Europe, in America against Wall Street, and elsewhere is real. It's visceral. It's deep-seated. It's growing. It reflects what media scoundrels won't explain. Democracy's more illusion than real. People get the best kind money can buy. Manipulated elections control things. Systemic rule is hardline. Progressive change is verboten. Monied interests have final say. Corporate giants rule the world. Exploiting nations, markets and people for profit matters most. Governments conspire with business to facilitate it. Popular needs more than ever go ...

Junta-Style Transition in Egypt by Stephen Lendman Events remain fluid. They're fast-moving. Interim President Adly Mansour appointed Hazem Beblawi prime minister. He's a technocrat. He's an economics PhD. He and Mansour are pro-Western stooges. From 1965 - 1980, Beblawi held academic positions at the University of Alexandria and elsewhere. From 1980 - 1983, he was an Industrial Bank of Kuwait manager. From 1983 - 1995, he was Export Development Bank in Egypt chairman and CEO. From 1995 - 2000, he was UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) executive secretary. From 2001 - 2011, he served as an Abu Dhabi-based Arab Monetary Fund advisor. After ...

Washington Ousted Egypt's Morsi by Stephen Lendman Previous articles discussed it. So did The New York Times. More on that below. Washington manipulates most regional events. It's dirty hands orchestrate them. Geopolitical ones matter most. In 2011, Obama officials choreographed Mubarak's ouster. They deposed Morsi in similar fashion. Michel Chossudovsky said Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) "tows the line. (I)t takes orders from Washington, DC." Around $1.5 billion annually buys lots of influence. America's long arm tolerates no outliers. Independent governments are targeted. Subservient ones are supported. "US Defense Secretary ...
Six Plain Clothes Agents [AKA mentally diseased gubmint oppressors) Assault and Arrest College Girl Buying Bottled Water

Following the pattern of cruel and extreme acts of ‘law enforcement’ we’ve witnessed, such as charging one teen with 8 years in prison over violent comments made in a video game, a new report details how six ‘alcohol agents’ bashed in the car windows of one young college girl who was buying bottled water in Virginia. It’s yet another concerning story of government agents unleashing their rage on innocents, and they really do continue to get increasingly stranger. In this latest event, University of Virginia student Elizabeth Daly was with her roommates picking up some bottled water, ice cream, and cookie dough — the typical diet of a college student, but ...

Criticizing Venezuela's Maduro Irresponsibly by Stephen Lendman A previous article explained. President Nicolas Maduro granted Snowden asylum. He did so responsibly. He did it courageously. He wants him protected from unjustifiable US persecution. "Who is the guilty one," he asked? "A young man who denounces war plans, or the US government which launches bombs and arms the terrorist Syrian opposition against the people and legitimate president, Bashar al-Assad?" Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina and other Latin American countries adopted the Cochabamba Declaration. It denounced France, Portugal, Italy and Spain for denying Evo Morales' ...

Nearly 150 female inmates were sterilized in the California corrections system between 2006 and 2010 without the required state approvals after succumbing to pressure from doctors and prison medical staff who suggested the female inmates be sterilized. During those five years, at least 148 female inmates were signed up for tubal ligation surgeries while they were pregnant, with doctors targeting those they believed were most likely to be incarcerated again and sterilized those inmates, The Center for Investigative Reporting found.

"The President condemned the ongoing violence across Egypt and expressed concern over the continued political polarization." "He ...
