Senate Passes Bill Letting 9/11 Victims Sue Saudi Arabia by Stephen Lendman The despotic Saudi regime is guilty of many high crimes. 9/11 isn’t one of them, the mother of all false flags, Washington responsible, perhaps complicit with Israel’s Mossad. Bin Laden and Riyadh had nothing to do with what happened. Osama was dying in a Pakistani hospital at the time, expiring months later from natural causes. The 9/11 whitewash commission found “no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials” were involved in the attacks. If its regime was culpable, why did America wage war on Afghanistan, then Iraq, Syria, Libya and Yemen, complicit ...

“The vitality of civil and political institutions in our society depends on free discussion… It is only through free debate and free exchange of ideas that government remains responsive to the will of the people and peaceful change is effected. The right to speak freely and to promote diversity of ideas and programs is therefore one of the chief distinctions that sets us apart from totalitarian regimes.”—Justice William O. Douglas, Terminiello v. City of Chicago (1949) Shame on the U.S. Supreme Court for making a mockery of the First Amendment. All the justices had to do was right a 60-year wrong that made it illegal to exercise one’s First Amendment rights on ...
The Rights and Wrongs of Segregation

Segregation is alive and well. After a series of sexual assaults against women in Cologne, Germany, by Muslim migrants, a German rail service announced it was instituting “women only” train cars to protect women who ride the train. The Mitteldeutsche Regiobahn rail company says “the segregated train cars are designed to make women traveling alone or with small children feel safe.” Each train will have two “women-only” compartments “located at the center of the train and close to the customer service compartment.” Boys up to the age of ten will be allowed access to the special cars as well. But this is nothing new. In Delhi, India, the metro rail ...

Russia Insider We're from the government, and we're here to help Originally appeared at New Eastern Outlook Few Americans know what they have lost. Few understand to what extent they have been victimized by something far beyond a police state, far beyond simple surveillance, far beyond the obvious loss or rights and privacy that some accepted so readily less than two decades ago in order to “be safe.” At the center of it all is the Department of Homeland Security, a shadowy bureaucracy tasked with examining every aspect of the lives of every American and producing a “threat profile” using a “predictive algorithm. “ While Americans worry about their ...

Texas Rejects Iran Nuclear Deal by Stephen Lendman The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was agreed to by the five permanent Security Council member plus Germany and Iran. It’s binding under international law. No nation may unilaterally abrogate it. Nor can any of the 50 US states. On May 16, Texas Governor Greg Abbott wrote Obama, irresponsibly calling the deal “fundamentally flawed,” saying he’ll maintain illegal sanctions. He called on Texas legislators to toughen them, ludicrously claiming JCPOA “undermines (US) national security,” citing no corroborating evidence. None exists. Plenty shows Washington threatens Iranian security. More Big Lies ...

Hillary Clinton Wants Husband Bill in Charge of Economic Revitalization by Stephen Lendman Campaigning in Kentucky, Hillary Clinton said she’ll put husband Bill in charge of “revitalizing the economy” to create jobs - with little further elaboration. Former labor secretary in his administration, Robert Reich, said her remarks suggest “she’s no longer touting the successes (sic) of the Obama economy or even linking herself to it.” Today’s economy differs vastly from the 1990s. Bill Clinton’s policies set the stage for thirdworldizing America. His rap sheet includes: • eight years as Wall Street’s man in Washington, facilitating ...

An anonymous congressman has dropped a bombshell election-year book that confirms why Americans hate their national government and have rallied to anti-establishment presidential candidates like Donald Trump. The veteran politician lays bare a rotten and corrupt Congress enslaved by lobbyists and interested only in re-election in an anonymous, 65-page manifesto called “The Confessions of Congressman X.” “Like most of my colleagues, I promise my constituents a lot of stuff I can never deliver,” he admits. “But what the hell? It makes them happy hearing it . . . My main job is to keep my job.” The House member — a Democrat who is either still in Congress or ...

DEMONIZATION OF AN ICON FOR STATE’S RIGHTS *Author’s note: With the recent events surrounding allowing perverts and sexual deviants unfettered access to potential victims now being dictated by the central government as vividly seen with the lawsuit against North Carolina for having a governor and a legislature with the courage to just say no to a tyrannical central government, I thought back to this article I had written some time back. Now, we see our diversity centric Attorney General associating perverts in the bathroom with the Civil Rights movement. This makes the words of George C.

Criminal Injustice in America by Stephen Lendman America has the world’s largest prison system, larger than China’s with four times its population. Thousands are incarcerated for political reasons. They committed no crimes. Most prisoners were convicted of nonviolent offenses. In 2012, “A Living Death” ACLU report indicated 3,278 prisoners in federal facilities and nine states providing data, serving life without parole (LWOP), mostly for nonviolent drug offenses. Over 83% of LWOP sentences were mandatory, judges unable to offer leniency. A living death describes the fate of victims. Most never should have been imprisoned in the first place. According to the ACLU, ...

Obama Campaigns for Clinton in Rutgers Address by Stephen Lendman Obama used his Sunday Rutgers University commencement address to tout his deplorable record, a reason to support Clinton without saying so, and bash Trump without naming him. His trademark demagoguery and Big Lies are featured in all his addresses. “You and your fellow graduates are entering the job market with better prospects than any time since 2007,” he blustered. False! One-fourth of working age America can’t find jobs. Most others have rotten low-pay, poor- or-no-benefit service ones. Half of US households are impoverished or bordering it. “Since I graduated in 1983, crime rates (and) share of ...

How Orange County Prosecutors Covered Up Rampant Misuse of Jailhouse Informants Prosecutorial misconduct and the misuse of jailhouse informants are persistent problems in the criminal justice system. According to the National Registry of Exonerations, since 1989 there have been 923 exonerations tied to official misconduct by prosecutors, police, or other government officials, 89 of them in cases involving the use of jailhouse snitches.

Reactions to Brazil’s Coup by Stephen Lendman Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, himself threatened by Washington wanting him ousted, denounced what he called a “made in the USA” coup, part of Obama’s deplorable legacy. He withdrew his ambassador in protest. In Havana on Cuban state television, a newscaster read the following statement: “The revolutionary government of the Republic of Cuba has denounced the judicial-parliamentary coup d’etat, disguised with legality that has been underway for months in Brazil.” “Today a fundamental step was taken for the objectives of a coup.

Imagine standing at a bus stop, talking to your friend and having your conversation recorded without you knowing. It happens all the time, and the FBI doesn’t even need a warrant to do it. Federal agents are planting microphones to secretly record conversations. Jeff Harp, a KPIX 5 security analyst and former FBI special agent said, “They put microphones under rocks, they put microphones in trees, they plant microphones in equipment.

Dire Economic Conditions in Brazil Made Rousseff Vulnerable by Stephen Lendman US-supported right-wing extremists voted overwhelmingly to impeach her without just cause, a parliamentary coup by any standard. A Senate trial will likely convict her, removing her from office despite no legitimate grounds, replacing social democracy with neoliberal harshness - the process already begun. Addressing the nation on Thursday, Rousseff called for popular support, “mobilized (to) defend democracy” against dark forces wanting it ended. “I am ready to resist through all legal means,” she said. Brazil’s Supreme Court denied her 11th hour appeal to intervene responsibly. ...

Parliamentary Coup in Brazil by Stephen Lendman In an overnight Wednesday session, majority fascist Brazilian senators voted to impeach Rousseff without just cause - following majority lower house members in mid-April voting the same way. An 11th hour Supreme Court appeal on her behalf was denied, along with a separate appeal to bar vice president/interim president Michel Temer from replacing her ministers with ones he and other fascists usurping power choose. Rousseff must now step down for 180 days until a Senate trial convicts or exonerates her. Removing her requires a two-thirds majority. A previous article explained no legitimate grounds for impeachment exist. She committed no ...

Sanders’ W. VA Win Slows Clinton’s Near-Certain Nomination by Stephen Lendman Sanders’ Tuesday win more reflects anti-Clinton hostility in one of America’s poorest states than support for him. Polls show most voters hold negative views about both candidates expected to win their party nominations in July, as well as disdain for America’s political system, ignoring their interests and welfare entirely. In November, voting Republican or Democrat comes down to choosing the perceived lesser of two evils. No meaningful choice for change exists. Widely despised continuity has no opposition. Sanders persists in enjoying his prolonged 15 minutes of fame going nowhere. ...

France Imposes Widely Despised Anti-Labor Bill by Decree by Stephen Lendman On top of punishing austerity, new rules imposed benefit business exclusively at the expense of worker rights. They govern layoffs, cap damages for unfair dismissals, and increase the 35-hour workweek at the discretion of employers with minimal pay for overtime. Since early March, students, other youths and workers rallied against labor law changes proposed by Labor Minister Myriam El Khomri. President Francois Hollande talks like a leftist, governs like a fascist, entirely beholden to monied interests.

Neocons Want Iran Nuclear Deal Rescinded by Stephen Lendman In a Monday Independent Journal op-ed, neocon House Speaker Paul Ryan claimed Obama “misled the American people on the Iran (nuclear) deal…Everything about (it) is starting to unravel.” Nothing supports his baseless claims. Tehran’s best faith efforts along with four of the other P5 countries plus Germany may go for naught if neocons infesting Washington get their way. Longstanding US policy toward Iran remains hostile - solely for its sovereign independence, unrelated to its nuclear program, well known to be peaceful without a military component or intention to have one. Ryan and likeminded neocons want ...

Something is rotten in Brasilia. Overnight Monday, he about-faced, saying “I revoke my decision issued May 9, 2016, in which the lower house sessions were annulled.” Was he pressured, bribed or threatened?

Brazil’s lower house April vote to impeach Rousseff is in question after interim speaker Waldir Maranhao invalidated it because of procedural irregularities, saying lawmakers announcing their intentions ahead of voting constitutes “a clear offense to the wide right ...
