Obama's Anti-Populist Agenda

May 30th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

Obama's a reliable corporate tool. He serves powerful monied interests. He spurns populist ones. He's done so throughout his tenure. He's unfit to serve.

Since taking office, he targeted America's most disadvantaged. He wants deeper Medicare and Medicaid cuts than already instituted on his watch. He wants Social Security benefits reduced.

He’s already cut:

● home heating help for needy families;

● higher education Pell Grants;

● Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) benefits;

Israel Threatens Russia

May 30th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

Israel gives chutzpah new meaning. War on humanity defines its agenda. It's partnered with Washington's war on Syria.

It's heading perhaps toward greater intervention. It warned Russia about supplying Syria with sophisticated defensive anti-aircraft missiles. It said Israel will react in response. More on that below.

A previous article discussed Russian S-300 launch systems and other defensive missile sales to Syria. Vladimir Putin said existing contracts will be honored.

Netanyahu tried to dissuade him. They met face-to-face. Perhaps Israel's early May aggression convinced him they're urgently needed.

The Diplomatic Double Standards of Agent Hague, If he arms the Syrian rebels shouldn’t he also arm Hamas?

May 30th, 2013

Stuart Littlewood

UK foreign Secretary William Hague continues to surpass himself. You’ll remember how he fell for the phony claptrap about WMD and voted “very strongly” for the Iraq war, thus advertising his lack of diligence and poor judgement. After three years in power he still has British troops dying in Afghanistan to massage the egos of American and British warmongers. He’s also made it his business to protect Israeli war crimes suspects - and the rest of the world’s most odious scum - from arrest.

He was at the forefront of military intervention in Libya, which has had messy, horrific and uncontrollable consequences.

The Monsanto Revolution

May 29th, 2013

By Timothy V. Gatto

The protests against the Monsanto Protection Act were not covered by the corporately run news media in the United States. This treacherous act itself has not been discussed by the majority of people and the information about what it really means to us is being hidden by those charged to provide this information.

The very fact that the corporate media has tried to minimize the coverage of the protests, and the fact that they hid the role of Congress in protecting a company that has the potential to damage our lives is something that is actually criminal. The fact that most Americans still don’t know about the potential effects of GMO seeds to the American people cannot be defended.

Radical Remaking of the Economy is Taking Root

May 29th, 2013

By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers

It is time for the economy to work for the people, not the elites; it is time for economic democracy.

As the school year ends, college students are coming home to a paucity of summer jobs and young adults are graduating into an economy with 27% underemployment and unemployment for them.This generation has inherited a failed economy. Not only do they graduate to lousy job prospects, but they also graduate with record high debts .

Lifting the Fake EU Arms Embargo

May 29th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

On May 27, the so-called one-year EU arms embargo on Syria's opposition ended. Officially it does so on June 1. EU nations agreed to end what never existed.

Since Washington's war on Syria began in early 2011, arms flowed freely. Western-enlisted death squads get them. At issue is replacing Assad with a subservient pro-Western puppet.

Syria's being ravaged in the process. Washington, key NATO partners, Israel and rogue Arab state allies bear full responsibility.

War rages ahead of Geneva II. Planned peace talks are pretense. Syrians genuinely want it. So does Russia going all out to achieve it. Other nations urge peace.

Obama: America's Second Teflon President?

May 29th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

New poll numbers show recent scandals haven't hurt his approval rating.

According to a CNN/ORC International survey, 53% of Americans approve his job as president. Another 45% disapprove.

Throughout much of his tenure, he hovered around 50%. According to Gallup, he scored highest from January 22 - 24, 2009 at 69%.

At 38%, he scored lowest from October 15 - 17, 2011. His average approval from January 20, 2009 to the present is 49%.

From 1938 - 2013, the average for US presidents is 54%. After his November 2012 reelection, Obama's approval rating was 52%.

Milliman Medical Index on Obamacare

May 28th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

Milliman calls itself one of "the world's largest providers of actuarial and related products and services."

It provides independent consulting services. It does so in areas including healthcare among others. It says it maintains "rigorous standards of professional excellence, peer review and objectivity."

It publishes a Milliman Medical Index (MMI). It represents the projected cost for employer-sponsored managed care preferred provider organization (PPO) healthcare coverage. It does so for a family of four comprised of two adults and two children.

On May 23, Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) featured its latest MMI.

It reveals America's deplorable state of healthcare coverage. Obama's Affordable Care Act (ACA) made things worse.

Peace Process Pretense

May 28th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

Peace process initiatives were stillborn from inception. Decades of futility define them. Palestinians genuinely want peace. They deserve it and much more.

Israeli leaders pretend they care. Doing so conceals their dark agenda. They deplore peaceful conflict resolution. They prioritize violence and instability.

They want all valued parts of Judea and Samaria exclusively for Jews. They want Palestinians occupied, exploited, abused and denied. They don't negotiate. They demand.

On February 1, Hillary Clinton stepped down as Secretary of State. John Kerry replaced her. He's made four Middle East trips so far. He's up to no good.

America's Greatest Challenge

May 28th, 2013

by Timothy Gatto

I’ve been reading a few articles on the “alternative” media which really have me thinking. One, by Chris Hedges entitled “Rise Up or Die” made me think about just how bad things really are nowadays here in the USA. The other article by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, “You are The Hope” was also a particularly dark piece.

It’s not that I don’t agree with what the two have said…I do; still, I don’t think they quite accurately reflect the growing dis-connects between what many Americans and the mainstream media, along with the Powers That Be would have us believe.

At this moment in time (I reserve the right to change my mind at a moment’s notice), from talking to people I have been meeting in my travels, there really isn’t much support for the President or the Congress. People don’t seem to be buying what they are selling on the corporate media. I heard today (mostly from the Democrat megaphone on MSNBC) that the President’s approval rating is actually up this week. I’m starting to wonder who exactly was really polled.
