Erdogan Reign of Terror Following Failed Coup Plot by Stephen Lendman He’s back in Ankara, military forces loyal to his regime crushing remnants of Friday’s rebellion. His first order of business is solidifying power, eliminating opposition and hardening dictatorial rule. Security forces retook control of state-run broadcaster TRT after rebels seized it. Turkish Airlines resumed flights to and from Istanbul’s Ataturk airport after suspending them yesterday. Various international airlines halted their own as a precaution. Harsh crackdowns against coup plotters and supporters began. According to Erdogan, over 2,800 military personnel were arrested, ranging from soldiers to ...
ISIS Claims Responsibility for Nice, France False Flag

ISIS Claims Responsibility for Nice, France False Flag by Stephen Lendman Its semi-official Amaq News Agency published a statement, saying “(t)he man behind the running- over operation in Nice, France, is a soldier from the Islamic State, and he carried out the attack to answer the calls for targeting the nationals of countries in the coalition that is fighting Islamic State.” Take the above statement with a grain of salt. The group often claims responsibility for incidents it had nothing to do with - evidence showing they were false flags in Europe and America. Reports without independent corroboration claim Bastille Day assailant Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel managed to drive a ...

Attempted Military Coup in Turkey by Stephen Lendman Turkey is no stranger to military coups, three occurring in the post-Ottoman era, the last one in September 1980 before the July 15 attempted takeover. It continued overnight. Events are fast moving. Reports indicate scores killed, many others injured, numerous arrests made by regime authorities. They remain in power - martial law and a curfew imposed. According to Tass, spokesman for President Erdogan’s National Intelligence Organization Nuh Yilmaz reported “(t)he coup attempt in Turkey has been curbed. All the events will be over before morning.” Clashes occurred in Istanbul and Ankara, Turkey’s capital. Tanks ...

Trump/Spence Ticket Official by Stephen Lendman On Thursday, Spence flew unannounced to New York ahead of Friday’s announcement - low key instead of more elaborate plans following Nice’s overnight incident. At 9:50AM Friday, Trump made it official, twittering “I am pleased to announce that I have chosen Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate. News conference tomorrow at 11:00AM.” Pence formally filed paperwork affirming he won’t stand for Indiana gubernatorial reelection, then tweeted it. He endorsed Trump after primary season ended, saying “it’s time to come together around the people who were the people’s choice.” ...
Hyping Terrorism, Stoking Fear Following Nice, France Incident

Hyping Terrorism, Stoking Fear Following Nice, France Incident by Stephen Lendman Muslims are convenient scapegoats of choice in America, other Western societies and Israel. Islamophobia rages, boosted by Bastille Day violence in Nice. Western media said lone jihadist lorry driver/gunman Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel singlehandedly mowed down or shot over 200 holiday celebrants in Nice overnight - killing scores, injuring many others, the claim defying credibility. How could one person cause so many casualties before being stopped? Logic suggests more than one attacker involved, maybe covert CIA, Mossad and/or French security forces. Rabble-rousing reports made what happened sound like a ...

Hypocritical Political Responses to Nice, France Incident by Stephen Lendman A same day article discussed the Bastille Day incident, killing or injuring over 200, the death toll mounting as victims succumb. Whether individual, group or state-sponsored terrorism so far is unknown - similar incidents suggesting the latter most likely. World leaders and other top officials reacted - the same ones waging state-sponsored terrorism on humanity, responsible for millions of deaths, Muslim countries ravaged, destroyed, occupied and plundered, domestic civil and human rights eviscerated on the phony pretext of protecting national security. Shock, horror and angst politicians expressed rang ...

Bastille Day Nice Incident: A Disturbingly Familiar Story by Stephen Lendman Ignore Western media reports, automatically calling these type incidents terrorism, Muslims nearly always blamed. Other possibilities are discounted - notably whether what happened in Nice was state-sponsored false flag terrorism, what seems most likely, though it’s too early to rush to judgment. Here’s how The New York Times, the self-styled “newspaper of record,” covered what happened, typical of other reports I’ve seen so far, more obfuscating than enlightening, saying: “A Bastille Day fireworks celebration was shattered by death and mayhem on Thursday night in the southern ...
America Fosters, Supports and Encourages Terrorism

America Fosters, Supports and Encourages Terrorism by Stephen Lendman America is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, a scourge it falsely claims to oppose. It’s using ISIS and other proxy death squads as imperial foot soldiers, responsible for mass slaughter and destruction, ongoing because of foreign support. Interviewed by NBC News, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Washington wants terrorist groups “control(led) and use(d),” not defeated, US airstrikes aiding, not targeting them. They’re “not legal,” he stressed, in contrast to Russia’s intervention - “legally and formally (invited) by the Syrian government. It’s the ...

Mike Pence: Trump’s VP Choice? by Stephen Lendman According to Roll Call, he’s expected to name Pence as his running mate on Friday, July 15 in Manhattan - citing an unnamed “Republican with direct knowledge of the decision.” They spent time together in early July, again this week at the Indiana governor’s mansion. IndyStar reported he dropped his gubernatorial reelection bid - “confirm(ing)” him to be Trump’s VP choice. He’s a Tea Party hardliner, a loyal Trump supporter, Indiana governor since January 2013, former Indiana House member and House Republican Conference chair. IndyStar cited unnamed GOP strategists, saying he’ll ...

FBI Director James Comey got Hillary off the hook but wants to put you on it. He is pushing hard for warrantless access to all of your Internet activity. Comey, who would have fit in perfectly with Hitler’s Gestapo, tells Congress that the United States is not safe unless the FBI knows when every American goes online, to whom they are sending emails and from whom they are receiving emails, and knows every website visited by every American. In other words, Comey wants to render null and void the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution and completely destroy your privacy rights. The reason Washington wants to know everything about everyone is so that Washington can embarrass, ...

Spot-On Trump Quotes on Sanders’ Sellout by Stephen Lendman Sanders’ Tuesday endorsement of Hillary showed he’s just another dirty politician, deceiving supporters, pledging one thing, doing another, supporting war, wealth, power and privilege. He’s unprincipled, dishonorable, shameless and corrupted like all the rest - rare exceptions proving the rule. Supporters have just cause to be furious. Betrayal never goes down well. Et tu, Bernie? You betcha! It was baked in the cake all along. Soul-selling is endemic in Washington, few free from its affliction, Sanders irreparably defiled, toxic, spilled milk, damaged goods - immoral, unethical and cowardly, a national ...

Kerry in Moscow: No Change in Hostile US Policy by Stephen Lendman Hegemons don’t change policy, at times create the illusion of change only. Sordid US history proves it can’t be trusted, agreements made systematically breached. America’s longstanding agenda calls for replacing all sovereign independent nations with US vassal states - by color revolutions or wars of aggression. Syria remains in the eye of the storm, along with eliminating freedom-fighting resistance in southeastern Ukraine. Kerry’s fourth visit to Moscow since May 2015 isn’t about improving bilateral relations. They’ve been sour for most of the past century, notably during Putin’s ...

Jesse Ventura Explains Why So Many Americans Are Voting for Trump A candid Q&A about gun control, the war on drugs, George W. Bush, and more. Getty By Luke O'Neil Jul 13, 2016 John Kerry once said, "In America, you have a right to be stupid." Nowhere is that more true than in the world of politics. That quote leads off Sh*t Politicians Say, the latest book from Jesse Ventura, a man who knows of what he speaks. In the book, the onetime governor of Minnesota, Vietnam veteran, actor, professional wrestler, media personality, and current icon of libertarian-hued, conspiracy-minded wokeness, walks us through a collection of some of the dumbest things U.S. politicians have ...

Sanders: Liar, Hypocrite, Self-Serving Con Man SOB by Stephen Lendman Sanders’ Tuesday sellout to wealth, power and privilege didn’t surprise observers like myself who’ve followed his deplorable political career for years. Mendacity, betrayal, dishonor, lack of principles and moral cowardice define his years in office - from his Burlington, VT mayoral days to the House, Senate and now concluded presidential bid. His extended 15 minutes of fame ended in infamy. His phony political revolution was stillborn - his self-styled democratic socialism a thinly-veiled facade, stripped away to reveal the true measure of the man. It’s not pretty. Endorsing Clinton means getting ...

Sanders: Hoisted on His Own Petard by Stephen Lendman His lofty-sounding campaign rhetoric was duplicitous hyperbole, willful deception, BS, another political fraudster exposed, a charlatan - pathetically pandering to what he pretended to oppose. Everything he said on the stump was counter to what he supports. His Tuesday endorsement of Clinton was despicable, morally and ethically cowardly, a shameless example of soul-selling for the whole world to see. He’s just another dirty politician like all the rest, selling out for special benefits afforded him. What backroom deal was cut? Was he offered a high-level Clinton administration post if she’s elected, perhaps as running ...

Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg’s Trump Bashing by Stephen Lendman She, like other Americans, is constitutionally free to publicly express views on any topics - other than on cases before the High Court or under consideration. At the same time, expressing them for or against political candidates isn’t the remit of judiciary branch members - especially for the nation’s highest office while campaigning is ongoing. In a July 10 NYT interview, Ginsburg overstepped, tacitly endorsing Clinton, saying “I can’t imagine what this place would be - I can’t imagine what the country would be - with Donald Trump as our president. For the country, it could be four years. ...
Something Weird Happened After Clinton And Lynch Met Privately In A Plane

Something Weird Happened After Clinton And Lynch Met Privately In A Plane It was reported the current Attorney General, Loretta Lynch had a private, 30-minute meeting with former President Bill Clinton. While this would hardly be worthy of the news under a different set of circumstances; the simple fact the former President’s wife is the subject of a FBI investigation certainly leads to some speculation. For instance, how was it that only days after the Benghazi report was issued, and just days before Mrs. Clinton was set to be interviewed by the FBI… that Lynch and Clinton would just happen to be at the same airport and have their two private jets park right next to each ...

Sanders Defects to Clinton Camp, Endorses Pure Evil, Betrays Loyal Supporters by Stephen Lendman Sanders is part of the problem, not the solution, a longtime self-serving con man, betraying his supporters for 30 years. I predicted defection to Clinton months earlier, both candidates likeminded on most issues - differing largely in rhetoric and style. On Tuesday at a Clinton Portsmouth, New Hampshire campaign event, he proved it by endorsing a legally-challenged neocon she-devil, an unindicted war criminal/racketeer, her email scandal one of many on her rap sheet. Throughout the campaign Sanders said one thing. In the end, he sold out to wealth, power and privilege, betraying loyal ...

Pro-Western Tribunal Rules Against China by Stephen Lendman The Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) resolves disputes among and between between states, international organizations and other entities. Cases relate to “territorial and maritime boundaries, international humanitarian law, and treaty interpretation, as well as commercial and investment disputes between private parties and states, including disputes arising under bilateral and multilateral investment treaties.” PCA is pro-Western, an administrative organization, not a conventional court. Judges or arbitrators hearing cases are officially called Members of the Court. Its Philippines v. China ruling ...

Obama and Bush in Dallas: Honoring Police Deaths, Ignoring Their Victims by Stephen Lendman America’s current and preceding assassins-in-chief are in Dallas on Tuesday for a memorial service, honoring five police officers slain last week - theater without substance, maintaining the illusion of caring, not there to “console and reassure” as The New York Times disingenuously suggests. Neither president shows compassion for millions of imperial victims, nor concern about racist US policies, harming Blacks, Latinos and other people color, persecuting them viciously. Bipartisan administrations, Congress and courts at all levels of government serve monied interests exclusively ...

The U.S. and UK governments forcibly expelled an entire population of islanders to make way for a military base. It's time to let them come home One week after British voters decided to exit the European Union, the UK Supreme Court was set to decide the fate of a small group of British citizens who had no such vote when the UK and U.S. governments forced the people to exit their homeland beginning in the late 1960s. Known as the Chagossians, these little known refugees have long been denied the kind of democratic rights exercised in the Brexit referendum. Instead, Britain and the United States forcibly removed the Chagossians from their homes during the construction of the U.S. ...

US Hostility Toward Iran Persists by Stephen Lendman Since the Islamic Republic replaced US ally Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi’s despotic rule in 1979, unjustifiable hostility toward Iran persisted. Last year’s nuclear deal changed nothing. International sanctions ended. US ones largely remain in place, bipartisan congressional hardliners calling for more. Billions of dollars of Iranian assets remain frozen. Tehran is wrongfully blamed for regional terrorism and elsewhere. Congress earlier passed legislation authorizing Iranian assets be used to compensate victims of Israeli Mossad terrorism - wrongfully blamed on the Islamic Republic. In April 2016, the Supreme Court ...

Widespread evidence shows that these tests routinely produce false positives. Why are police departments and prosecutors across the country still using them? Amy Albritton can’t remember if her boyfriend signaled when he changed lanes late that August afternoon in 2010. But suddenly the lights on the Houston Police patrol car were flashing behind them, and Anthony Wilson was navigating Albritton’s white Chrysler Concorde to a stop in a strip-mall parking lot. It was an especially unwelcome hassle. Wilson was in Houston to see about an oil-rig job; Albritton, volunteering her car, had come along for what she imagined would be a vacation of sorts. She managed an apartment ...
