War Party Leader Obama Endorses War Goddess Clinton
Stephen Lendman
Obama, Clinton and bipartisan neocons infesting Washington explain the deplorable state of America today - a democracy in name only, enriching the privileged few at the expense of most others, waging endless wars on humanity, leaving its fate up for grabs.
Clinton was chosen Democrat party nominee last year before primary/caucus season began, assuring endless wars of aggression if elected, perhaps the madness of confronting Russia and China belligerently.
The possibility of her succeeding Obama should terrify everyone, heightening the risk of global war with super-weapons making WW II ones look like toys by comparison.
Saudis Reportedly Funding 20% of Clinton’s Presidential Campaign
Stephen Lendman
Deep pockets buy enormous influence, Saudi ones among the deepest - used for fostering and proliferating state terrorism along with committing other high crimes.
According to a Middle East Eye (MEE) report, citing Jordan’s official Petra News Agency (PNA), based on comments attributable to Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, Riyadh is providing “20 percent of the total funding to the prospective Democratic (sic) candidate’s campaign.”
Saudis also donate generously to the Clinton Foundation, a racketeering operation masquerading as a charitable NGO, accepting tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments, organizations and individuals, benefitting greatly by selling influence.
US law prohibits foreign interests from funding US elections at the federal, state and local levels. Yet it’s done anyway covertly through shell companies and other devious means.
Mourning for Orlando: What About for Millions of Imperial Victims
Stephen Lendman
First some important points. Paul Craig Roberts and several of my readers pointed out the absence of video and other credible evidence, no proof showing dead bodies from Sunday’s Orlando incident. Was it staged, not real?
With 49 reported dead (plus the alleged shooter) and over 50 wounded, where’s the casualty count proof? Why hasn’t there been widespread coverage of the implausibility of a lone gunman attack?
Orlando resembles Sandy Hook (December 14, 2012). Professor James Tracy conducted exhaustive, independent research into what happened.
Orlando Shootings: Terrorism or False Flag?
Stephen Lendman
It’s too soon to know whether Sunday’s Orlando incident was terrorism or false flag deception.
Yet it has distinct earmarks of the latter, likely the latest example of domestic state terror, another fear-mongering pretext for out-of-control militarism, endless wars of choice, and domestic repression, America more a police state than free society on a slippery slope toward full-blown tyranny.
Muslims are Washington’s target of choice, falsely blamed for numerous state-sponsored domestic crimes - 9/11 the mother of all false flags.
Convincing evidence indicates the alleged Boston bombers, San Bernardino bombers, Sandy Hook shooter, a shoe bomber, an underwear bomber, Times Square bomber, shampoo bombers, synagogue bombers, and numerous other convenient patsies blamed for similar incidents were victims of elaborate hoaxes, state-sponsored false flag deception.
Only Clinton Can Save Trump’s Electoral Victory
James Petras
Introduction
Rational Voters and Irrational Experts
Large swaths of the US electorate are voting for rational choices against a system controlled by an economic and political oligarchy.
Rational choice is based on their experience with political leaders who have pursued policies leading to a trillion dollar financial crisis and bank bailouts while impoverishing millions of mortgage holders and working families – the US tax payers.
Their rejection of the established leadership of both major parties is rational. It reflects an understanding that campaign promises are worthless.
They want rational commitments to address growing inequality and end the series of overseas wars which have weakened America. They identify with the slogan to ‘make America strong again’, emphasizing a dramatic transformation of the domestic economy and security system.
Endless US Dirty War Haunts Syrian
Stephen Lendman
Washington’s claim about wanting war in Syria resolved diplomatically is pretense. Russia continues fruitless bilateral talks while US support for ISIS and other terrorist groups continues.
Endless war ravages Syria, US-orchestrated slow-motion genocide, initiated by Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, a neocon monster masquerading as a woman.
On Saturday, Syria’s Foreign Ministry accused Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar of supporting state terror, responsible for massacring civilians, providing imported death squads with military and financial aid. Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Turkish forces operate illegally inside Syria, directing around 2,000 Jabhat al-Nusra and other terrorist fighters, supplying them with weapons and other material support.
The Struggle for Venezuela’s Soul
Stephen Lendman
Washington wants Latin and Central America recolonized, US-controlled tyranny replacing sovereign independence throughout the hemisphere.
At an Association of Caribbean States summit last week in Havana, Cuban President Raul Castro expressed alarm about Latin American and Caribbean “turbulence,” calling it the result “of an imperialist and oligarchic counteroffensive against popular and progressive governments.”
Washington orchestrated Brazil’s coup, wrongfully impeaching President Dilma Rousseff, forcing her to step down for 180 days, facing Senate trial controlled by right-wing fascists sure to convict her - despite no legitimate grounds. She committed no crimes.
Tyrannical Bahraini Rule
Stephen Lendman
Bahrain is one of six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, despotic monarchies allied with US regional imperial interests, mainly its endless wars of aggression.
On Monday, prominent human rights defender/former political prisoner Nabeel Rajab was again arrested. At 5:00AM, police surrounded his home. His son Adam tweeted they “entered the house and arrested my father…”
The incident occurred on first day of the UN Human Rights Council’s 32nd session, its high commissioner Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, warning “(r)epression will not eliminate people’s grievances. It will increase them.”
How Corrupt America Is
Eric Zuesse
The best reporting on the depth of America’s dictatorship is probably that being done by Atlanta Georgia’s NBC-affiliated, Gannett-owned, TV Channel “11 Alive,” WXIA television, its “The Investigators” series of local investigative news reports, which show, up close and at a cellularly detailed level, the way things actually work in today’s America. Although it’s only local, it displays what meets the legal standards of the U.S. federal government in actually any state in the union; so, it exposes the character of the U.S. government, such that what’s shown to be true here, meets America’s standard for ‘democracy’, or else the federal government isn’t enforcing federal laws against it (which is the same thing as its meeting the federal government’s standards).
The links to three of these local TV news reports will be provided, along with a summary of each of the videos; and then the broader context will be provided, which ties the local picture in with the national, and then the resulting international, picture. So: this will be like a zoom-lens view, starting with three selected close-ups, and then broadening the view to wide-angle, showing the context in terms of which what’s happening in that fine detail (those close-up views) makes sense.
WikiLeaks to Publish Indictable Evidence Against Hillary Clinton
Clinton is America’s first ever US presidential aspirant under FBI investigation for criminality - warranting indictment, prosecution and imprisonment if convicted, though chances of it happening are virtually zero.
Julian Assange was interviewed by ITV’s Peston on Sunday via video link from London’s Ecuadorian embassy, where he’s forced to remain to avoid wrongful arrest and extradition to America, followed by torture, abuse and lawless imprisonment the way Chelsea Manning was mistreated.
Without indicating when, he said WikiLeaks will publish leaked Clinton emails with enough evidence to indict her.
