When Is a Coup not One? by Stephen Lendman "What's in a name," asked Shakespeare? A coup by any other name doesn't change things. It isn't one when it's "our coup, a 'good cause' coup," said Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins. Western diplomats are scrambling to characterize it otherwise. Coups are called "military interventions with good intent." Saying they reflect good v. evil struggles doesn't wash. Merriam-Webster calls them "a violent decisive exercise of force in politics; especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group." The Oxford Dictionaries defines them as ...

The Last 90 days of the USA

237 years after its birth, the United States of America may cease to exist as we know it within the next 90 days. The American people have become lazy, slothful, and intellectually dishonest to the point where accepting the government’s decrees which impinge on their freedoms is the accepted rule of thumb rather than fighting to defend their freedoms. Unless a drastic change occurs soon, the end of the Republic will happen much faster than imagined. Sadly, the United States and much of our population have not only forsaken the hard fought freedoms won by our Founding Fathers, they have turned their back on God so as to insure the wisdom and guidance needed to not only maintain moral ...

Jobs Report Shows America in Decline by Stephen Lendman Headlines cheered America's June report. Bloomberg said "US Employers Added More Workers in June Than Forecast." "Employment roared ahead in June." America's "economy is poised for faster growth as it shakes off the impact of tax increases and budget cuts." The Wall Street Journal headlined "Job Gains Show Staying Power," saying: June showed "solid promise." Doing so suggests "the economy might be strong enough to grow with less help from the Federal Reserve." More on that below. Bond investors "rush(ed) to sell." Ten-year Treasuries spiked above 2.7%. ...

Breastfeeding Viewed as Potential Terrorist Activity by New York Country Club by Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist on July 1, 2013 When ignorance about breastfeeding coincides with an irrational fear of terrorists, what do you get? A very nasty scene at a ritzy New York Country Club, that’s what! This is exactly what Belgian diplomat Tom Neijens and his wife Roseline Remans discovered when they stopped by the Metropolis Country Club in White Plains, New York on June 8, 2013 and inquired about having lunch. Club employees permitted the family to dine on the terrace despite the fact that they weren’t members, whereupon Remans began to discreetly breastfeed her daughter Luka at ...

EPA Wants Gov't To Control How Cold Your Beer Can Be Regulation: No longer the stuff of science fiction, a little-noticed change in energy-efficiency requirements for appliances could lead to government controlling the power used in your home and how you set your thermostat. In a seemingly innocuous revision of its Energy Star efficiency requirements announced June 27, the Environmental Protection Agency included an "optional" requirement for a "smart-grid" connection for customers to electronically connect their refrigerators or freezers with a utility provider. The feature lets the utility provider regulate the appliances' power consumption, "including ...
ElBaradei Heads Egypt's Interim Government

ElBaradei Heads Egypt's Interim Government by Stephen Lendman It's official. He's Washington's man in Cairo. More on that below. Ousting Morsi unleashed widespread violence. Pitched battles erupted. Both sides clashed with each other. On July 6, Russia Today reported Friday's toll caused 36 deaths. One or more others followed. Over 1,100 were injured. Unknown numbers were arrested. Neither side's yielding so far. Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) is notoriously brutal. Mercy isn't in its vocabulary. It conspired with Washington against Morsi. Popular outrage made him damaged goods. He's gone. He's under house arrest. So are ...

Business As Usual in Egypt by Stephen Lendman Days of street protests created illusory change. Everything changed but stayed the same. The pattern's familiar. Ousting Morsi assures same old, same old. Washington prioritizes Middle East control. It wants it unchallenged. It's the oil, stupid. Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and other regional states have nearly two-thirds of proved world oil reserves. They have huge gas deposits. Egypt's the largest Arab country. It's geopolitically important. It supports America's imperium. US officials prioritize continuity. Michel Chossudovsky asked: "Was Washington Behind Egypt's Coup d'Etat?" What's known ...

Targeting Foreign Leaders: Longstanding US Policy by Stephen Lendman No one's safe from America's long arm. From inception, CIA operatives developed skills to kill. Fidel Castro survived hundreds of assassination attempts. He knows best how Washington operates. Other leaders weren't as lucky. In April 1994, CIA surface-to-air missiles killed Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana and Burundi President Cyprien Ntaryamira. Downing their plane put Paul Kagame in power. He became Washington's man in Rwanda. Ethnic slaughter continued what began earlier. It's longstanding US policy. It advances America's imperium. Mobutu replaced Lumumba in Congo. Pinochet followed ...

What's Next in Egypt? by Stephen Lendman Morsi's out. Junta power rules. Generals have final say. Democracy's verboten. Popular interests don't matter. They never did. They don't now. What's next? Headlines said Egyptians celebrated Morsi's ouster. Fireworks lit up Cairo's sky. On February 12, 2011, jubilant crowds reacted the same way. Millions hailed Mubarak's removal. People overthrew entrenched power, they believed. Hoped for change didn't follow. So-called Arab spring didn't bloom. It wasn't meant to. Expect nothing different this time. Wealth, power and privilege alone matter. It's de rigueur. It's true throughout the ...

London's Guardian: Out in Front Exposing Lawless NSA Spying by Stephen Lendman Give credit when deserved. It happens all too seldom. The Guardian's an establishment publication. It's been around since 1821. It's credentials are well-known. It published other notable scoops. It was out in front on Rupert Murdoch's News International phone hacking scandal. It caused an uproar in parliament. Related police corruption was revealed. So did information about Murdoch, son James, as well as other News Corp executives and editors having private meetings with Prime Minister David Cameron never disclosed. Guardian contributors told readers what they need to know. They told ...
What Americans Used To Know About the Declaration of Independence

"During the weeks following the [1860] election, [Northern newspaper] editors of all parties assumed that secession as a constitutional right was not in question . . . . On the contrary, the southern claim to a right of peaceable withdrawal was countenanced out of reverence for the natural law principle of government by consent of the governed." ~ Howard Cecil Perkins, editor, Northern Editorials on Secession, p. 10 The first several generations of Americans understood that the Declaration of Independence was the ultimate states’ rights document. The citizens of the states would delegate certain powers to a central government in their Constitution, and these powers (mostly ...

America's Independence Day Hypocrisy by Stephen Lendman Ron Kovic's an anti-war activist. He was born on July 4, 1946. Vietnam combat left him paralyzed. He's wheelchair-bound. His memoir titled "Born on the Fourth of July" became an Academy Award-winning film. Oliver Stone directed it. Tom Cruise played Kovic. An updated 2005 book introduction said in part: Vietnam's "disastrous war" changed his life. It affected countless "others of (his) generation profoundly and forever." Back then was "a lifetime ago." He was 18. He has photos of how he looked. Recalling them shakes him badly. He can't do it without experiencing ...

Obama Threatens Humanity by Stephen Lendman He represents the worst of rogue governance. He does so lawlessly. He serves monied interests. They own him. Whatever they want they get. He violates core rule of law principles. He mocks democratic rule. He's waging multiple imperial wars. He's doing so on humanity. He plans others. He looted the nation's wealth. He handed it to Wall Street, war profiteers, and other corporate crooks. He wrecked the economy. He lets popular needs go begging. He ignores growing poverty, unemployment, hunger, homelessness and despair. He governs by diktat. He permits lawless torture. Global renditions persist on his watch. He institutionalized ...

Turmoil Rocks Egypt: Morsi's Out by Stephen Lendman Events are fast moving. Russia Today's live Cairo video shows huge Tahir Square crowds. They're nonviolent. They're expectant. The mood's electric. Egyptian troops control key sites nationwide. Large contingents are deployed around Cairo. Unconfirmed reports suggest Morsi's under house arrest. Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) gave him 48 hours to yield. Do so or step down, it said. The deadline came and passed. Reuters reported that SACF said it's "ready to die to defend Egypt's people against terrorists and fools." It did so in response to Morsi. It headlined "The ...

Bolivia angered by search of president's plane, no sign of Snowden VIENNA (Reuters) - Bolivia accused Austria of an act of aggression by searching President Evo Morales' plane on Wednesday and blamed Washington for its forced landing in Vienna over suspicions that former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden was on board. Morales' plane was stranded at Vienna airport for several hours after Portugal and France abruptly canceled air permits for it to fly through their airspace, but eventually resumed its flight home from an energy meeting in Moscow. Austria found no sign of Snowden on board. He is believed to still be in the transit area of a Moscow airport, where he has ...

Hands Off Snowden Campaign by Stephen Lendman Snowden acted heroically. He did so at great risk. He exposed lawless US spying. He represents a noble tradition. Others did before him. Allies do it now. Legions more are needed. Hopefully they'll be emboldened to help. Doing so exposes fascist state governance. People need to know. America's by far the worst. Activists want Snowden helped. More on that below. He released a statement, saying: "One week ago I left Hong Kong after it became clear that my freedom and safety were under threat for revealing the truth." "My continued liberty has been owed to the efforts of friends new and old, family, and others who I ...

Obama's New Climate Plan by Stephen Lendman It's typical Obama. It's largely old wine in new bottles. It's more duplicitous than real. Rhetoric belies policy. He does it every time. His credibility's sorely lacking. He's a serial liar. It remains to be seen what follows. A White House web site posting headlined "CLIMATE CHANGE and President Obama's Action Plan." On June 25, he said: "So the question is not whether we need to act. (It's) whether we will have the courage to act before it's too late." "As a President, as a father, and as an American, I’m here to say we need to act." A follow-up press release ...

Quelle Surprise: NSA Spies on Europe by Stephen Lendman NSA spies globally. Enormous amounts of meta-data are collected. It's been ongoing for decades. Post- 9/11, it intensified. It's out-of-control today. It's lawless. It's menacing. It persists. Spying domestically isn't for national security. Nor is monitoring allies. It's about control. It's for economic advantage. It's to be one up on foreign competitors. It's for information used advantageously in trade, political, and military relations. On June 30, London's Guardian headlined "New NSA leaks show how US is bugging its European allies. Exclusive: Edward Snowden papers reveal 38 targets ...

Kerry's Shuttle Diplomacy Excludes Peace in Our Time by Stephen Lendman America and Israel deplore peace. Claims otherwise are pretense. On June 27, Kerry arrived in Jerusalem. It was his fifth regional trip since February. He'll return. He met straightaway with Netanyahu. They talk peace. They plan war. They abhor diplomatic conflict resolution. They don't negotiate. They demand. They want Israeli/Palestinian peace talks resumed with no preconditions. They want unconditional Palestinian surrender. Don't bet Abbas won't agree. He's a longtime collaborator. He's Washington and Israel's man in Ramallah. In late 2010, talks were suspended. Settlement ...
