Post-Quake Haiti: One Year Later - by Stephen Lendman On January 12, 2010 at 21:53 GMT, 4:53PM in Haiti, the earth massively shook. For affected Haitians, it never stopped. The combination of initial shock, devastating destruction, vast loss of life, injuries, suffering, and human misery disrupted millions of Haitians already overwhelmed by crushing hardships. A year ago, people wandered the streets dazed, searching for loved ones. Lost power cut communications except by satellite phone. Haiti's quake vulnerability was well known but little reported, and no advance precautions were taken. The inevitable finally happened, harming the majority poor population most. Earlier storms wiped ...

Top Federal Judge Assassinated after threat to Obama Agenda A Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that the top US Federal Judge for the State of Arizona was assassinated barely 72-hours after he made a critical ruling against the Obama administrations plan to begin the confiscation of their citizen’s private retirement and banking accounts in order to stave off their nations imminent economic collapse, and after having the US Marshals protecting him removed. According to this SVR report, Federal Judge John McCarthy Roll was the Chief Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Arizona who this past Friday issued what is ...
The Nihilist as the Vilest [AKA Our Leaders are Self-Servant, Self-Centered Pussies!]

The Nihilist as the Vilest Yesterday I surveyed the media landscape and found the weekend’s most obnoxious theme: That Jared Lee Loughner, the apprehended suspect killer in Saturday’s Tucson massacre, was somehow spurred to commit his gruesome shooting spree by the “inflamed rhetoric” of today’s protest politics. I titled my effort “Killer Apprehended, Vitriol’s to Blame.” Hans Bader had a better title for his Washington Examiner contribution: “Shootings obscure America’s generally bland and timid political culture.” Yes, bland, he wrote. “My French relatives regularly denounce their country’s leaders in far more heated ...

PHOENIX — Arizona legislators quickly approved emergency legislation Tuesday to head off picketing by a Topeka, Kan., church near the funeral service for a 9-year-old girl who was killed in the Tucson shootings. Unanimous votes by the House and Senate sent the bill to Gov. Jan Brewer for her expected signature. It would take effect immediately. Without specifically mentioning the Tucson shooting, the proposed law prohibits protests at or near funeral sites. Dozens of lawmakers co-sponsored the bill, and legislative action was completed within 90 minutes. The Senate's committee hearing took just three minutes. The Westboro Baptist Church said Monday it plans to picket ...

Britain's War on Islam

Britain's War on Islam - by Stephen Lendman Western vilification of Islam is longstanding, cruel, and unjustifiable. In his 1978 book "Orientalism," Edward Said explained a pattern of Western misinterpretation of the East, especially the Middle East. In "Culture and Imperialism" (1993), he broadened Orientalism's core argument to show the complex relationships between East and West by referring to colonizers and the colonized, "the familiar (Europe, West, us) and the strange (the Orient, East, them)." He explained Western high-minded/moral superiority notions compared to culturally inferior Muslims. They're now portrayed as dangerous bomb-throwing ...

Dem Planning Bill That Would Outlaw Threats to Lawmakers By Peter Schroeder January 10, 2011 "The Hill" -- -- Rep. Robert Brady (D-Pa.) reportedly plans to introduce legislation that would make it a federal crime to use language or symbols that could be perceived as threatening or inciting violence against a federal official or member of Congress. Brady told CNN that he wants federal lawmakers and officials to have the same protections against threat currently provided to the president. His call comes one day after Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) was shot, along with 19 other people, at a public event in Tucson. A suspect is currently in custody. "The president is a ...

Drugging Guantanamo Detainees - by Stephen Lendman From inception, most Guantanamo detainees were uncharged. On January 5, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) said: "....the vast majority of the men at Guantanamo should never have been detained in the first place, and that over 550 have been released and are peacefully rebuilding their lives." Most of the 800 captured and brought there were lawlessly "seized in broad sweeps and sold to the US (for) substantial bounties." From the Pentagon's own records, "most (have) no link to terrorism." For over seven years, CCR "organiz(ed) and coordinat(ed) more than 500 pro bono lawyers across the ...

This morning on Face The Nation, Bob Sheifer had interviews with Charlie Shumer, John Kyl, and Stenny Hoyer. From whatching, the all pointed the finger at the internet for inciting this shooting ans the internet is responsible for people getting all worked up and have a tendency toward violence. None of the three are worth a pitance. The jest of their complaints is that we should be a society where non-violent dissent and questioning of the governments actions could be done and should be done in that manner. However, none of them failed to point out that people have been arrested and sometimes beaten for peaceful assembly to have grievances addressed. None of them spoke out that those of ...

Shield Act Targets First Amendment Freedoms - by Stephen Lendman For decades, America's freedoms have eroded, notably post-9/11 with: -- a president declaring unconstitutional unitary executive powers to rule unilaterally; -- his successor embracing the doctrine; -- checks and balances and separation of powers virtually ended; -- passage of the USA Patriot Act; -- Homeland Security Act; -- other repressive laws; -- annual renewals of coup d'etat continuity of government (COG) authority to rule unconstitutionally, including by martial law; -- repressive national and homeland security presidential directives (NSPDs & HSPDs); -- unconstitutional executive and other ...
Can U.S. Foreign Policy Be Fixed?

The WikiLeaks revelations have shined a light on the dark nature of U.S. foreign policy. As Eric Margolis recently described it: “Washington’s heavy-handed treatment of friends and foes alike, its bullying, use of diplomats as junior-grade spies, narrow-minded views, and snide remarks about world leaders.” As much as I, an American, hate to say it, U.S. foreign policy is actually much worse. It is aggressive, reckless, belligerent, and meddling. It sanctions the destabilization and overthrow of governments, the assassination of leaders, the destruction of industry and infrastructure, the backing of military coups, death squads, and drug traffickers, and imperialism under the ...
Waging War on American Workers

Waging War on American Workers - by Stephen Lendman Target one is America's middle class, endangered after decades of wealth shifts to super-rich elites besides most high-pay, good benefit jobs, offshored to cheap labor markets - a policy Washington's duopoly endorses. It's the most serious threat to middle America since attacks began in the 1970s. On December 23, 1957, The Dan Smoot Report published novelist Taylor Caldwell's (1900 - 1985) article, titled "Honoria," the true story of a former great nation and lessons to be learned from its demise. She explained how men seeking freedom became Pilgrims, endured terrible hardships, yet survived, prospered, and ...

Gulet Mohamed is an 18-year-old American citizen whose family is Somalian. His parents moved with him to the U.S. when he was 2 or 3 years old, and he has lived in the U.S. ever since. In March, 2009, he went to study Arabic and Islam in Yemen (in Sana'a, the nation's capital), and, after several weeks, left (at his mother's urging) and went to visit his mother's family in Somalia, staying with his uncle there for several months. Roughly one year ago, he left Somalia and traveled to Kuwait to stay with other family members who live there. Like many teenagers who reach early adulthood, he was motivated in his travels by a desire to see the world, to study, and to get to know ...

CAMP WILLIAMS — Today's groundbreaking for a $1.5 billion National Security Administration data center is being billed as important in the short term for construction jobs and important in the long term for Utah's reputation as a technology center. "This will bring 5,000 to 10,000 new jobs during its construction and development phase," Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said on Wednesday. "Once completed, it will support 100 to 200 permanent high-paid employees." Utah – Jan. 13, 2010 Officially named the Utah Data Center, the facility's role in aggregating and verifying dizzying volumes of data for the intelligence community has already earned it the ...

Told 'Ya So: Tea Party = DOUCHE NOZZLES It took less than six hours for me to be able to wave the "told 'ya so" flag: An early push by New Jersey Republican Rep. Scott Garrett to add some “teeth” to the GOP’s new Constitution rule requiring every bill cite its specific constitutional authority failed in a Republican conference meeting Tuesday. What was the rule? That you couldn't claim "general welfare" or "necessary and proper" as justification - you had to point to an actual enumerated power. The very so-called "Tea Party" and "Conservative" members of Congress could not even agree to cite a specific clause ...

Permanent Debt Bondage from America's Student Loan Racket - by Stephen Lendman An earlier article compared the 1950s to today, saying: It was a different time, good and bad. Elected in 1952, Eisenhower was still president. Unemployment was low. Anyone wanting work found it. Most years the economy grew during a post-WW II expansion. Inflation was low. The average new car cost $1,500, a typical home under $10,000. College was affordable. Harvard's 1952 full year tuition was $600. Four years later it was $1,000 - for a full, two- semester year. During the period, anyone could attend evenings at $5 a course and get a Harvard degree for about $175, astonishing but true. America was ...

Annabel Melongo: Victimized and Imprisoned - by Stephen Lendman In May 2006, Melongo was bogusly charged and arrested for computer tampering and eavesdropping without consent - the former accusation based solely on Save-A-Life Foundation (SALF) founder, Carol Spizzirri, a woman exposed as a liar. More about her and SALF below. Melongo justifiably claims she was framed "to cover up SALF's longstanding relationships with powerful political cronies and funders." Originally indicted on January 17, 2007, she was re-indicted on May 28, 2008 on two alleged charges for: (1) Eavesdropping without consent: "in that she knowingly and intentionally used an eavesdropping device, ...

Police can now read the messages on your phone at will A ruling of the California Supreme Court declared that if you are suspected of any wrongdoings, police officers can read the messages on your phone without needing a warrant. It's yet to be seen how this decision, part of the People versus Gregory Diaz case, will be implemented in practice and in the different states. Here's the explanation of this court decision: "The majority opinion, written by Justice Ming Chin, cited precedents from the U.S. Supreme Court, saying the contents of a cell phone are like the contents of clothing or a cigarette pack found on a suspect's person. The U.S. Supreme Court has found that ...
