The Fascinating Truth About The 16th Amendment The income tax is just an excise; capitations still require apportionment; and you’ve been taken to the cleaners. Introduction AS THE FIRST AMERICAN IN HISTORY to secure a complete refund of all federal income taxes withheld-- including Social Security and Medicare taxes-- and the author of several books that have led to many tens of thousands of other American men and women getting all THEIR money back year after year since 2003, I imagine I'm the last person from whom you'd expect to hear praises of the income tax. But that's what you're hearing. The fact is, the income tax is not only a Constitutional tax, it ...
US War on Whistleblowers

US War on Whistleblowers by Stephen Lendman Truth-telling in America is endangered. Free and open expression is our most fundamental right, all others threatened without it. Exposing government wrongdoing is courageous and essential. Obama waged war on press freedom and whistleblowing. Trump continues his outrageous agenda. When governments consider truth-telling independent journalists and whistleblowers threats to national security, tyranny replaces freedom. In 2012, the Obama administration declared WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange an enemy of the state, forcing him to take refuge in Ecuador’s London embassy to avoid unjust arrest, extradition to America and imprisonment to ...
US Preparing Charges Against Julian Assange

Sessions: Assange Arrest Is 'a Priority' US officials have repeatedly vilified WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange over the past several years, and intermittently called for his assassination, but just now appear to be nearing a decision to file charges against him, accusing him of crimes for involvement in the whistleblower organization. What the charges might be remain a matter of speculation, as Assange’s lawyer says they’ve heard nothing from the Justice Department. CIA chief Mike Pompeo, however, suggested the charges could be speech related, insisting Assange doesn’t get “First Amendment freedoms” because he isn’t American. This sudden interest ...

Anti-Erdogan Rage, Emergency Rule Extended by Stephen Lendman Before Sunday’s constitutional referendum, Erdogan repudiated democracy, freedom and rule of law principles, governing as a tinpot despot. Manipulated results officially empowered his iron-fisted rule. Criticism of his rogue regime is considered treason. Opponents are targeted for elimination. He’s at war with Kurds domestically, in Iraq and Syria. Press and academic freedom are considered heresy. He’s ruthless and unforgiving, a regional menace, Turkey a launching pad and safe haven for ISIS and other terrorist groups, providing them weapons and other material support, treating their wounded, pretending to ...
Anti-Marine Le Pen Shenanigans

Anti-Marine Le Pen Shenanigans by Stephen Lendman On April 23, first-round voting for France’s next president is scheduled. Polls show Le Pen slightly ahead of her main rivals in a race too close to call. The top two vote-getters will meet in a May 6 runoff election. Anti-Le Penism is intense, reminiscent of how French politician/IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn was forced from office in 2011 over spurious rape charges later dropped. He was favored to be France’s next president in 2012, denied the chance to run because of fabricated charges against him. France’s establishment wants Le Pen denied a chance to succeed Francois Hollande. Media scoundrels ...

US/Russia Support Flawed Turkish Constitutional Referendum Results by Stephen Lendman On Sunday, Turkey’s deplorably weak democracy died. Erdogan’s power-grab succeeded, ending it. The constitutional referendum lets him declare emergency rule and govern by decree, including dissolving parliament and calling new elections if he wishes. An OSCE observer mission monitoring the referendum campaign and Sunday’s vote raised serious questions about its legitimacy. Procedures “fell short” of international standards, it said. Numerous irregularities occurred. On April 17, an OSCE press release said in part: “The 16 April constitutional referendum in Turkey was ...

Iran a Bigger Threat Than Syria and North Korea Combined? by Stephen Lendman Only a fool would believe this rubbish. Only a scoundrel would claim it. Enter Michael Oren, former Israeli ambassador to Washington, Knesset member, a deplorable character, representing apartheid viciousness, defending the indefensible reprehensibly. On April 16, he outrageously claimed Iran is a bigger threat than Syria and North Korea combined. These countries threaten no one. Their security is very much threatened - by joint US/Israeli rage for dominance regionally and globally. Oren: Syria and North Korea “violated…agreements (to limit) their unconventional military capacities.” Fact: ...

Turkey’s Constitutional Referendum Divides Country, Opposition Cries Foul by Stephen Lendman On Sunday, Turks voted on whether to replace its parliamentary system with a presidential one - affording Erdogan virtual dictatorial powers. He can now rule by decree, short of circumventing existing laws. He can declare emergency rule, appoint two vice presidents, ministers and regime officials, as well as dissolve parliament if he wishes and call new elections. He has more control over Turkey’s courts. His power-grab prevailed on Sunday by a 51.3 - 48.7% margin. Reported turnout was 84%. The referendum was held under state of emergency conditions, following last July’s failed ...

Congress Weighing New Sanctions on Russia, Iran and Syria by Stephen Lendman US imperial strategy includes endless aggression and illegal sanctions, among other deplorable actions. When returning from spring recess next week, Congress reportedly is considering legislation to impose new sanctions on Russia, Iran and Syria - punitive measures if passed by both houses, aggravating things rather than alleviating them. According to House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Ed Royce (R. CA), proposed “legislation will give the administration much-needed diplomatic and financial leverage to help stop Assad’s slaughter of innocent Syrians” - a despicable Big Lie. “It ...

Turks Vote on Controversial Referendum by Stephen Lendman On Sunday, Turkish voters are deciding up or down on whether to replace its parliamentary system with a presidential one. At stake is giving wannabe-sultan Erdogan vastly increased authority or rejecting his attempted power-grab. He already rules with an iron fist. If adopted, an 18-article constitutional amendment will grant him greater concentrated power. Changes would abolish the office of prime minister and the cabinet. Erdogan would have authority to rule by decree, giving him virtual dictatorial power - other than not being able to circumvent existing laws. He’d be able to declare emergency rule, appoint ministers ...

Trump’s Deplorable Agenda Belies His Easter/Passover Message by Stephen Lendman Trump’s weekly Saturday address to the nation rang profoundly hollow - an Easter/Passover message of faith, hope, “the blessings of this land” and peace. His deplorable first three months in office belie the spirit he conveyed - escalating US wars of aggression, risking nuclear war on the Korean peninsula, serving Wall Street, war-profiteers, other corporate favorites and privileged Americans at the expense of most others. Trump: “This is a season of great hope.” Fact: US Main Street Depression conditions persist because nothing is done to correct things. Fact: Millions of ...

The rising movement uses the same playbook as the American version. In September, Germans will head to the polls to elect a new parliament. One of the parties expected to enter the Bundestag for the very first time is the Alternative für Deutschland (or Alternative for Germany). Over the course of two years, as AfD has transitioned from an agenda of economic reform to one of nationalist populism, they have morphed into something resembling the American alt-right. In 2012, a group of German conservatives and classical-liberal economists who had defected from Angela Merkel’s center-right and the traditional liberal-democrat party found themselves associating with ...

Rogue State America Viciousness by Stephen Lendman Daily events should terrify everyone. Deplorable policies continue no matter which right wing of US duopoly power is in charge. Endless US wars rage. Conquest, occupation, colonization, exploitation and dominance are prioritized over world peace and vital popular needs. The most perilous time in world history threatens everyone. State-sponsored criminality is rewarded, not punished. Warmakers win peace prizes. Why not when war is considered peace. Leaders waging them are extolled, peacemakers vilified. So are social democrats and independent journalists, falsely accused of reporting fake news. Truth-telling leaves them vulnerable. ...

Will Republicans or Democrats suffer politically for what just happened in the Senate? Probably not. By Amber Phillips April 6, 2017 We can credibly make the case that both parties had a heavy hand in Thursday's historic moment on the Senate floor: Democrats launched a rare filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee, and Republicans reacted by getting rid of the centuries-old practice of filibustering Supreme Court nominees. We can also credibly make the case that neither side is going to suffer much politically for this. Which is exactly what I'm about to do. All we have to do is look back at the sequence of events these past 419 days. That's how long this ninth Supreme Court ...

Not a smudge in sight on the picture window. On the other side of the glass, the maid is hanging on by one knuckle, screaming. “Oh crazy, come here,” a woman says casually in Arabic, holding a camera up to the maid. “Hold on to me! Hold on to me!” the maid yells. Instead, the woman steps back. The maid's grip finally slips, and she lands in a ...

Trump Welcomes Egypt’s Pinochet at White House by Stephen Lendman Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is an illegitimate president, usurping power illegally. A brutal despot, he’s a US War College graduate, maintaining close Pentagon ties. He rules by iron-fisted brute force. Democracy is pure fantasy. Sweeping crackdowns continue against opposition elements opposing his viciousness. He’s Washington’s man in Cairo, complicit with the Obama administration in manipulating Hosni Mubarak’s ouster - followed by toppling elected Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, imprisoned on false charges. State terrorism is official policy. A climate of fear exists, including mass arrests, ...

Gratuitous Trump Bashing Ignores Hillary’s Crimes by Stephen Lendman Valid criticism is warranted. Media scoundrels focus on unjustifiable Trump and Russia bashing. Facts don’t interfere with their agenda. What’s most important to explain is suppressed. Presstitution substitutes for responsible journalism.

Diabolical Russia Bashing by Stephen Lendman Russia is vilified for its sovereign independence, Putin’s multi-world polarity advocacy, his opposition to imperial wars, refusal to be subservient to US interests, and support for mutual cooperation among all nations. Conservative senior Weekly Standard editor Christopher Caldwell said “he rescued (Russia), and gave it coherence and purpose.” He “refused…to accept…a subservient role in an American-run world system drawn up by foreign politicians and business leaders.” Russians “revere him.” He “restrained” oligarchs looting the country, colluding with Western interests.

Trump a Russian Mouthpiece? by Stephen Lendman The suggestion is spurious on its face. It would be laughable if the diabolical agenda of his opponents wasn’t so menacing. Neocon CIA/connected Washington Post editors accused his administration of “derail(ing) (the) House Intelligence Committee’s investigation into (accusations of) Russia’s interference in the presidential election” - no evidence proving it since accusations surfaced last year. Ranking Virginia Democrat Senate Intelligence Committee member Mark Warner lied, accusing “(a)n outside foreign adversary (Russia) (of) hijack(ing) our most critical democratic process, the election for ...

Russia Bashing Senate Hearing by Stephen Lendman Thursday’s hearing on Russia was reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition - a nation and its leadership on trial, spurious accusations featured, made-for-television witch-hunt proceedings. McCarthyism is back on steroids. Intense bipartisan Russia bashing risks possible military confrontation. Fabricated claims about Russian US election hacking persist - despite no evidence suggesting it. Congress is spoiling for a fight. The Thursday Senate Select Committee on Intelligence open hearing was Orwellian titled “Disinformation: A Primer in Russian Active Measures and Influence Campaigns.” A Committee statement read like a grade ...

Nikki Haley’s Historical Revisionism by Stephen Lendman In March 29 remarks at the Council on Foreign Relations, Haley called America “the moral conscience of the world.” Orwellian dystopia more accurately describes the horrors of US policies. Haley’s disinformation fell flat. “(H)uman rights are at the heart of” America’s UN mission, she blustered, ignoring its rape, destruction and plunder of one nation after another, shifting blame for its high crimes on others. US terror-bombing massacres civilians indiscriminately. It targets hospitals, schools, residential areas and other nonmilitary sites - flagrant international law violations. Haley’s ...
The ‘Vaccine Court’ Is Hazardous to Your Health

The vaccine-industrial complex has created a Kafkaesque system. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Act was passed in 1986, under the shadow of multi-million dollar jury verdicts against the makers of the Diphtheria Pertussis and Tetanus (DPT) vaccine. Congress announced that vaccine injuries and deaths are real and provided that vaccine-injured children and their families would be financially compensated. Part of the larger Vaccine Act, the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) was modeled after workers’ compensation programs. It was to be a “no-fault” program. Very well. As one of the earliest “vaccine attorneys”—a very limited ...

Hillary Unleashed by Stephen Lendman She’s back. She never went away. In a St. Patrick Day address, she suggested she’ll return to politics - despite a Suffolk University poll showing her popularity at 35%, an all-time low. Asked after an earlier Wellesley College address (her alma mater) what she’d change about her disastrous 2016 campaign, she said: “I’d win.” Anyone so widely reviled should realize she’s unwanted and back off. Not Hillary, perhaps as much focused on undermining Trump as pursing a political comeback. On Tuesday, she spoke at a San Francisco diversity conference, hosted by Professional Business Women of California, invited as ...
