Trump Targeting Sexual Abuser/Rapist Bill Clinton and Hillary’s Coverup by Stephen Lendman Bill Clinton was a notorious sexual abuser, the Oval Office private study a near-bordello on his watch. Trump vowed to hit back hard after release of his 11-year-old lewd talk caught on tape - private locker-room type boasting lots of men engage in, often exaggerating. He began by inviting three Bill Clinton sexually abused women to the October 9 presidential debate - Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey and Paul Jones. He believes Bill and Hillary were “shaken” by the tactic. Bloomberg News quoted his campaign manager Steve Bannon, saying “(w)e’re going to turn (Bill ...

NYT Double-Barreled Editorial Assault on Trump by Stephen Lendman NYT-led scoundrel media viciousness destroyed Trump’s presidential aspirations - defeated before voting begins next month, Hillary almost certain to succeed Obama. Power brokers decided things before campaigning began, media scoundrels serving as press agents for longstanding dirty business as usual. Daily Trump vilification continues. Two new Times editorials went at him on the same day. One criticized him for wanting normalized ties with Moscow and Vladimir Putin - irresponsibly accusing him of being “a Kremlin apologist on issues ranging from Syria to…computer hacking…” Despite besting Hillary ...
Why Russia Bashing Is So Intense

Why Russia Bashing Is So Intense by Stephen Lendman Russia and China are the only nations able to challenge America’s hegemonic agenda effectively, strategically allied, supporting each other politically, economically and militarily - a formidable anti- new world order counterforce. Hostility toward Moscow intensified after Washington toppled Ukraine’s democratically elected government, replacing it with Nazi-infested putschists - followed by Crimeans overwhelmingly voting to rejoin Russia, and breakaway Donbass freedom fighters effectively opposing fascist rule. Fabricated accusations of “Russian aggression” persist, proliferated by media scoundrels. Moscow alone ...

Scoundrel Media Bankruptcy: Glorifying Hillary, Vilifying Trump by Stephen Lendman Lockstep US political reporting is the most vulgar and disgraceful in modern memory, anywhere in Western societies, revealing unprecedented moral and ethical media bankruptcy. Praise for a ruthless woman belonging in prison, not high office, shows how low political reporting has sunk. Trump bashing showed political assassination reaching depths never thought possible. It’s not a pretty picture, exposing how bad presstitution can get. Hillary represents an unprecedented menace. Yet The New Times promotes her candidacy with daily religious fervor, shamelessly headlining a Tuesday piece “ ...

NYT Promotes Phony Claims About Russia Supporting Trump by Stephen Lendman Not a shred of evidence suggests Russia in any way tries to influence electoral politics in America or anywhere else. Yet phony accusations persist, The New York Times one of the lead culprits - part of its unrelenting Russia bashing, proliferating misinformation and Big Lies, suppressing hard truths. Its latest attack piece cites Hillary’s campaign chairman John Podesta, irresponsibly blaming Russia for thousands of emails released by WikiLeaks. “I’ve been involved in politics for nearly five decades,” he said. “This definitely (sic) is the first campaign…in which I’ve had to ...

Media Scoundrels One-Sidedly for Hillary by Stephen Lendman Comedian Ernie Kovacs earlier explained why television is called a medium - because it’s neither rare or well done, he said, long before deplorable cable TV news. Today his comment applies to all mainstream print and electronic media, especially their outrageous managed news misinformation, substituting for responsibly informing readers and viewers on world and national issues - highlighted when America goes to war and in this year’s race for the White House. Never before in US history was media coverage so outrageously biased for one duopoly aspirant over the other - independents almost entirely ignored. None of ...

Sunday’s Hillary/Trump Spectacle Proved Neither Duopoly Power Candidate Fit to Serve by Stephen Lendman Time and again I’ve stressed America’s political system is too debauched to fix - fantasy democracy, not the real thing, a money-controlled one-party state with two right wings, exclusively serving the nation’s privileged few at the expense of equitable and just governance. Power brokers decide things. Voters have no say whatever. Election rigging is commonplace, existing from the republic’s early days - today achieved with electronic ease, voter roll stripping and other dirty tricks. Before campaigning began last year, Hillary was anointed Obama’s ...

Media Scoundrels One-Sidedly Bash Trump’s Sunday Night Performance by Stephen Lendman Scoundrel media postmortems following Sunday’s Trump/Hillary face-off didn’t surprise - deplorably one-sided like reporting throughout the campaign. Shameless NYT pro-Hillary press agent journalism makes Fox News look good by comparison. The self-styled newspaper of record finds new ways to reach unchartered lows. Headlining “Mr. Trump Goes Low,” Times editors called his campaign “decadent” - for daring to skewer Hillary’s deplorable public record its reports and commentaries ignore, disgracefully reinventing the most ruthlessly dangerous presidential aspirant in ...

One-Party Rule in America by Stephen Lendman Democracy in America was farcical from the republic’s inception. Money-controlled duopoly rule runs things today. Things are headed toward eliminating one of its two right wings in the presidential race if pro-Hillary supporters, backed by media scoundrels, get their way. They’re calling for Trump to step aside, abandon his campaign, effectively letting Hillary be anointed Obama’s successor, making November voting a greater charade than already. Sunday media scoundrel headlines, claiming Trump losing support from GOP leaders, read like a campaign obituary. Hillary is the establishment favorite. He’s the outlier, whatever ...

WikiLeaks Revelations from Hillary’s Highly-Paid Wall Street Speeches by Stephen Lendman Hillary’s persona in public and private are polar opposites. Comments in highly-paid speeches reveal the true mettle a deplorable aspirant for any public office. Publicly with cameras rolling, she’s for middle class values, helping America’s poor and lots more lofty pledges. In speeches to Wall Street firms, paying her six-figure remuneration fees as high as half a million dollars or more at times, she admits support for monied interests, explaining she’s “far removed” from middle class struggles she knows little or nothing about, or cares - showing as president ...

NYT Sleaziness by Stephen Lendman The Times’ latest anti-Trump tirade highlighted his womanizing history, citing boastful sexual comments, made heading for a cameo soap opera appearance over 20 years ago. Its editorial titled The Sleaziness of Donald Trump showed how low it’s willing to stoop to defeat him in November - failing to explain numerous past US presidents had extramarital affairs, including Washington, Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Jack Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton, among others. Many members of Congress and Washington bureaucrats had indiscretions, likely many fourth estate members with much to hide. During earlier presidential ...

The Big Lie Alleging Russia Cyberattacking America Resurfaces in Baseless Formal Charges by Stephen Lendman An irresponsible October 7 joint Department of Homeland Security/Director of National Intelligence (DHS/DNI) statement formally charged Russia with cyberattacks “intended to interfere with the US election process” - no evidence cited because none exists. Charges are baseless, following earlier ones intended to divert attention from clear evidence of DNC primary election rigging - favoring Hillary over Sanders, perhaps handing her the Democrat party nomination fraudulent, an indication of what may follow in November. Lodging false formal charges also reflects longstanding ...
Ammon Bundy Case as Inkblot Test: What Will Jurors See in His Words?

PORTLAND, Ore. — The beard and cowboy hat that defined Ammon Bundy’s image to Americans on those cold mornings in January are gone. He is cleanshaven now and dressed in ill-fitting jailhouse blue. The federal wildlife refuge that he and other armed militia members occupied for six weeks in Oregon’s high eastern desert has returned to normal. But he is still talking. And talking. Through three days of testimony this week here in Federal District Court, Mr. Bundy, 41, the owner of a truck maintenance company, defended the takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. “I still believe very strongly that what we did was the right thing, and that it was legal,” ...
Police Abuse And Race-Baiting: The Perfect Storm
Post Date: 2016-10-07 09:37:50 by Ada

Faithful readers of this column know that I am not timid about reporting on the exponential increase of police abuse currently taking place in our country. This tragic phenomenon is a clear and present danger to the overall health and wellbeing of our society. And it is not a fabrication of “leftists.” The abuse of power by many police officers is very real. And as I have attempted to point out previously, the reason for this sad state of affairs is largely due to the recruitment and training of police officers today. More and more frequently, the ranks of civilian law enforcement are being filled with former military personnel. This is not necessarily wrong in and of itself, ...

Illegal US/EU Sanctions on Russia, Syria and Iran by Stephen Lendman Security Council members alone may impose sanctions on nations, organizations, enterprises or individuals - not countries against others on their own. US/EU sanctions on Iran, Syria and Russia have no legitimacy. Neocons infesting Washington want new ones imposed on these countries, legislation now being considered, virtually certain to pass, its provisions alone uncertain. Washington wants these countries punished for supporting Syrian sovereignty and territorial integrity, along with the rights of its people to live free from the scourge of US-led imperial viciousness. The sanctions game is all about targeting ...

What if the most remarkable aspect of this presidential election is not how much the two principal candidates disagree with each other but how much they actually agree? What if they are both statists? What if they both believe that the government’s first duty is to take care of itself? What if they both believe in the primacy of the state over the individual? What if, in clashes between the state and individuals, they both would use the power of the state to trample the rights of individuals? What if the first priority of both is not to decrease the size and scope of government but to expand it? What if they both believe that the federal government may lawfully and constitutionally ...

Next UN Secretary-General Resembles His Predecessors by Stephen Lendman The UN is a virtual appendage of US-dominated Western policy, its secretary-general and officials serving their interests - flagrantly breaching or ignoring world body Charter principles they’re sworn to uphold, especially on issues of war and peace. On Wednesday, Security Council members chose Portugal’s Antonio Guterres, aged 67, to succeed Ban Ki-moon - effective at the completion of his December 31 tenure, a disgraceful imperial tool throughout his tenure. Expect continuity under Guterres, chosen to assure it. On January 1, 2017, he’ll become the ninth UN secretary-general. From 1995 - 2002, he ...

{snip} The most noteworthy battlefield upon which livelihoods and personal relationships are savaged by the arbiters of political correctness is the World Wide Web, and doxing is the nuclear bomb within the arsenal of soft tyrants. Unlike yesteryear in which derogatory newspaper articles and editorials are soon forgotten and buried within the annals of time, the Internet is forever and a Google search of one’s name republishes the offensive material anew to interested third-parties. Doxing is defined by Wikipedia as “the Internet-based practice of researching and broadcasting private or identifiable information (especially personally identifiable information) about an individual ...

Obsessive Scoundrel Media War on Trump by Stephen Lendman Relentless one-sided, daily bashing continues, media scoundrels going all-out for Hillary - unparalleled disgraceful political reporting, never letting facts or fairness interfere with their advocacy for one candidate over the other. During the height of the 2008-09 financial crisis, Times editors failed to denounce bailing out Wall Street banks too big to fail, predatory scam artists, making money by stealing it - through fraud, grand theft, market manipulation, front-running them, pumping and dumping schemes, cheating investors, bribing politicians, having its executives in top administration posts, and getting open- ended low ...

US/Russia Rift Deepens by Stephen Lendman America’s imperial agenda bears full responsibility for souring relations between both nations - what can and may lead to belligerent confrontation if Washington doesn’t curb its reckless appetite. Moscow’s patience appears wearing thin. On Monday, Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said “(a)ll (military) contacts…have been stopped of late. There has been no exchange of information.” Despite its good faith efforts for cessation of hostilities toward resolving Syria’s long-running conflict, US policymakers consistently undermine them. “We are trying to agree with Americans on resumption of truce in ...

Leaked Hillary Tapes Mock Progressive Politics by Stephen Lendman Supporters believing she’s progressive should think again. Her deplorable longstanding public record reveals otherwise - more proof from newly leaked tapes. On September 30, The Intercept discussed comments she made at a fund-raiser last February - “distanc(ing) herself from progressive” positions she rhetorically espouses while campaigning, including “free college (and) free healthcare.” Last July, she lied, saying “I take a backseat to no one when you look at my record in standing up and fighting for progressive values.” Since the 1990s, she consistently supported monied interests ...

Neocon Washington Post Mocks Jill Stein and Gary Johnson by Stephen Lendman WaPo, like other media scoundrels, wants no challenges to deplorable duopoly power governance - serving powerful monied interests, harming popular ones. Trump and Clinton are widely reviled for good reason. Both are unacceptable choices for any public office. Gary Johnson is geopolitically clueless - unable to identify a single world leader he admires in a televised interview after earlier asking: “(W)hat is Aleppo?” Jill Stein is the people’s candidate, wanting governance representing everyone equitably and justly. More on her agenda below, discussed in earlier articles. According to WaPo, ...

Deplorable Daily NYT Propaganda Drumbeat by Stephen Lendman A previous article offered an easy, simple to remember definition of a rogue state: the United States of America. Here’s another to understand state-sponsored propaganda: The New York Times - press agent for wealth, power and privilege, publishing administration and Pentagon handouts with disturbing regularity, pretending it’s legitimate journalism. Merriam-Webster defines it as “writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation.” In other words, impartial fact-based truths, all of it at all times with no deviations.

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”—George Orwell The final countdown has begun to the 2016 presidential election, and you can expect to be treated to an earful of carefully crafted sound bites and political spin. Despite the dire state of our nation, however, you can rest assured that none of the problems that continue to undermine our freedoms will be addressed in any credible, helpful way by any of the so-called viable presidential candidates. Certainly not if doing so might jeopardize their standing with the unions, corporations or the moneyed elite bankrolling their campaigns. In the interest of liberty ...
