International Law Revisionism by Stephen Lendman In January 2012, Netanyahu appointed a three-member committee headed by former Supreme Court Justice Edmond Levy. Included were former Foreign Ministry legal adviser Alan Baker and former Tel Aviv District Court president Tchia Shapira. They examined three issues: (1) Legal aspects of Israel's occupation. (2) The 2005 Sasson Report's conclusion that dozens of outposts built on privately owned Palestinian land were illegal. (3) Whether Israel's presence in the West Bank is, or is not, an occupation. Levy's report rewrote international law. It claimed that occupation "as set out in the relevant international ...

Whitewashing Criminal Fraud by Stephen Lendman Wall Street crooks walk away free every time. So do their London counterparts and other corporate bosses. Crime pays so why not commit it. The only penalty is nasty headlines for a few days and minor slap on the wrist fines or admonishments about promising no repeats. At least not until next week. Most politicians also get off easy, and not just in America. In August 2009, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was indicted in three corruption cases. They related to Rishon Tours as well as the Talansky and Investment Center affairs. More on them below. On January 5, 2012, he and 17 others were indicted for allegedly giving or receiving ...
UN arms treaty could put U.S. gun owners in foreign sights, say critics

UNITED NATIONS – A treaty being hammered out this month at the United Nations -- with Iran playing a key role -- could expose the records of America's gun owners to foreign governments -- and, critics warn, eventually put the Second Amendment on global trial. International talks in New York are going on throughout July on the final wording of the so-called Arms Trade Treaty, which supporters such as Amnesty International USA say would rein in unregulated weapons that kill an estimated 1,500 people daily around the world. But critics, including the National Rifle Association’s Wayne LaPierre, warn the treaty would mark a major step toward the eventual erosion of the U.S. ...

by PaulCraigRoberts.org Recently by Paul Craig Roberts: Can Americans Escape the Deception? My German publisher has rights for all European languages and for a Russian edition, which he says he intends to publish. I hear that the Chinese are interested in publishing my book. Most likely, South America will follow. Strange, isn't it, that no serious work that diverges from the US propaganda line can be published in the United States, the country of "freedom and democracy." What a joke! In my lifetime, especially the 21st century, the US has become the country of thought control and oppression. The USA today bears no resemblance whatsoever to the country I grew up in. I ...

Denis Rancourt's Struggle for Justice by Stephen Lendman Injustice defines Western societies. America long ago spurned rule of law principles. Canada marches in lockstep. Democratic values are quaint and dying. So are honor, integrity, righteousness, and believing right over wrong matters. Even university officials and complicit staff members are tainted. Academia proves not so hallowed ground. Denis Rancourt is a distinguished tenured University of Ottawa physics professor. He's a recognized expert in his field. His students called him a "phenomenal teacher." His classrooms provided an enriching learning experience. He inspired student confidence and academic ...

Media Scoundrels Endorse Sham Libyan Election by Stephen Lendman In their book titled "Demonstration Elections," Edward Herman and Frank Broadhead described US- staged elections. They're manipulated to consolidate American power and influence public opinion to believe sham processes are legitimate. Herman and Broadhead defined what goes on as: "A circus held in a client state to assure the population of the home country that their intrusion is well received." "The results are guaranteed by an adequate supply of bullets provided in advance." They're freely used to achieve desired outcomes. The authors' main theme was that ...

Stolen Haitian Relief Money by Stephen Lendman Following Haiti's catastrophic January 12, 2010 earthquake, billions of dollars in relief aid were raised. Suffering Haitians got virtually none of it. Hundreds of thousands remain homeless. A cholera emergency still exists. On June 19, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent said: "There is a significant probability of a major cholera emergency in Haiti in the coming months but resources have been severely diminished." Increased numbers of cases were reported in the Artibonite, Nord-Ouest, Nord-Est, Ouest, Gonave island, and homeless camps in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas. The Pan American Health ...
New Hampshire Strikes a Blow Against the Sovietized Amerikan 'Justice' System

When New Hampshire Governor John Lynch signed HB 146 into law on June 18, the Granite State became the first in the nation to enact a measure explicitly recognizing and protecting the indispensable right of jury nullification. New Hampshire’s jury nullification law reads, in relevant part: “In all criminal proceedings the court shall permit the defense to inform the jury of its right to judge the facts and the application of the law in relation to the facts in controversy." There is nothing novel about the principle and practice of jury nullification, which dictates that citizen juries have the right and authority to rule both on the facts of a case, and the validity of a ...

Sham Libyan Elections by Stephen Lendman In 2011, Washington-led NATO forces destroyed Libya. It was ravaged, not liberated. Humanitarian intervention was cover to wage war. "Responsibility to protect (R2P)" was subterfuge to colonize and plunder another country. Tens of thousands were killed. Vital social services were lost. Imperial control replaced Jamahiriya governance. Pre-2011 Libya no longer exists. Libyans call what NATO wrought "dimacracy." Dima in Arabic is blood. NATO gains control by shedding it. An illegitimate National Transitional Council (NTC) was appointed. Puppet leader Mustafa Abdul Jalil was made chairman. Mahmoud Jibril became prime minister. ...

OBAMA WATCH CENTRAL What did president tell Supreme Court? Lawyer in eligibility case seeks records of secret discussions Posted: January 27, 2009 9:47 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2009 WorldNetDaily A lawyer whose case challenging Barack Obama's eligibility to occupy the Oval Office was denied a hearing in the U.S. Supreme Court says she will demand records of a meeting between the justices and the president. California lawyer Orly Taitz, who has several cases pending over the issue of Obama's status as a "natural born" citizen, told WND she will take action soon. Her case was the most recent on which the Supreme Court held a "conference," an ...

Libor Scandal Reflects A Cesspool of Financial Fraud by Stephen Lendman At issue is a bad barrel, not a few rotten apples. Western banking is rife with fraud. The business model of major banks is grand theft. UK-based Barclays bank was caught in a Libor rigging scandal. Other major banks are involved. Expect more to come out. How much and who's named remains to be seen. More on that below. Libor and Euribor are mechanisms used to set interest rates. Euribor stands for the Euro Interbank Offered Rate. It's one of the reference rates for interbank lending. Libor is the acronym for London Interbank Offered Rate. It's a fundamental rate-setting benchmark. It's set daily ...
Dismal Jobs Report Reflects Economic Decline

Dismal Jobs Report Reflects Economic Decline by Stephen Lendman Years ago, America's economy was a job creation machine. Today it's rusted, wheezing, and sputtering on the way to collapsing. In June, America added 80,000 jobs. U-3 unemployment remained at 8.2%. Based on 1980 calculations, it tops 22%. Most jobs created are part-time, low-pay temp ones. The nation's manufacturing base largely exists offshore. So do many high-pay service jobs. Expectations were missed for the fourth straight month. Typically at this stage of the economic cycle, around a quarter million monthly jobs are created. Moreover, 36 months after an alleged recovery, U-3 unemployment is 3.6% below the ...

TPP: A Trade Deal from Hell by Stephen Lendman Obama and political Washington support an alphabet soup of repressive police state laws, other freedom destroying measures, and hellish trade deals. SOPA, PIPA, and CISPA threaten online freedom. Free speech and civil protections are endangered species. So are other inviolable rule of law provisions. With bipartisan support, they're heading for the trash bin of history. Obama officials secretly negotiated and adopted ACTA (the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement). It established unrestricted supranational global trade rules. Its provisions trample on national sovereignty, privacy and personal freedoms. In October 2011, Obama lawlessly ...

Stealth Trade Agreement Secret Negotiations by Stephen Lendman Two other articles address the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). They discuss what the companion article to this one calls a trade deal from hell. Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch says it's a "Corporate Power Tool of the 1%." Secret negotiations plan: • offshoring millions more US jobs to low wage countries; • freeing giant banking crooks entirely from oversight; • banning "Buy America" policies in deference to global marketplace mandates; • decreasing access to medicines and making prescription drugs less affordable; • infesting America with toxic foods and other ...

House to prohibit IRS from implementing healthcare law The House as early as next week will pass legislation prohibiting the IRS from receiving any money from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to implement the 2010 healthcare reform law. Passage of the financial services spending bill is especially timely in light of last week's Supreme Court ruling that penalties the government can impose under the law against people who refuse to buy health insurance can be seen as a tax, because it is enforced like a tax. That finding allowed the individual mandate to stand, and Republicans have already started reorienting their attacks against the law based on the knowledge that ...
When Americans Understood the Declaration of Independence

The Fourth of July was not always a national celebration of the militarization of American society and of the federal government’s never-ending quest for world domination (disguised as "defending our interests abroad"). Americans did not always attend church services on the Sunday before the Fourth of July to "honor" their "military heroes" and pray that they may kill many more human beings in other countries that have done them no harm. Americans once actually read and understood the Declaration of Independence for what it was: a declaration of secession from the British empire and a roadmap for opposing a highly centralized, militaristic empire of the ...

Lynne Stewart Loses Appeal by Stephen Lendman For 30 years, Lynne heroically defended America's poor, underprivileged, unwanted, and forgotten. Without advocates like her, they never have a chance for due process and judicial fairness. Lynne championed equity and justice. She devoted her life and work to upholding principles too important to reject. She defended controversial figures like Weather Underground activist David Gilbert, United Freedom Front's Richard Williams, Black Liberation Army figures Sekou Odinga and Nasser Ahmed, and many others like them. She knew the risks, yet took them courageously. She did so because it's the right thing to do. At former US Attorney ...

Palestinian Authority Police Brutalize Peaceful Protesters by Stephen Lendman President Mahoud Abbas is a longstanding Israeli collaborator. He and unelected Prime Minister Salam Fayyad serve illegitimately. Abbas' term expired on January 9, 2009. He's no longer president of Palestine. He won't step down. Israel supports him. In return, he takes orders, salutes, and obeys. So does Fayyad. He's also Israel's man in Palestine. He's a former World Bank and IMF official. In 2006 legislative elections, his Third Way party got 2.4% of the votes. It was clear renunciation. After Israel and Washington sponsored Fatah's coup d'etat, it co-opted the PLO, PA and ...
