Hillary Veers Left, to Head Off Sanders
Eric Zuesse
In order to attract some of the liberal support that would otherwise go to Bernie Sanders, who is her new challenger for the 2016 Democratic Presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton is announcing that too many people are in U.S. prisons, and that this nation should let lots of them out.
Amanda Terkel at Huffington Post headlines about it, "Hillary Clinton To Call For 'End To The Era Of Mass Incarceration' In Major Speech.” As reported there, this speech will call for "an end to a system that disproportionately targets black men.”
Hillary Clinton needs the votes of America’s Blacks, and is therefore going to campaign against the institutionalized racism of American society, so that she can get into the White House and serve the Wall Street, GMO, Big Oil, and other financial backers of her political career, especially Wall Street, such as is shown here:
More Evidence of Ukraine's Reign of Terror
by Stephen Lendman
Oles Buzina
A previous article discussed how Obama-installed fascist thugs eliminate anyone opposing their ruthlessness.
They're harassed, brutalized, imprisoned, disappeared or murdered in cold blood - including assassinating political opponents reported as "suicides."
Independent journalists, human rights workers and democracy advocates are vulnerable - anyone criticizing regime policy.
CyberBerkut is a Ukrainian hacker collective. It hacked into Kharkov regional state administration deputy head Vyacheslav Abbakumov's emails.
It reported the following, saying:
"We, the CyberBerkut, hereby present for public access materials confirming that the physical liquidation of public and political figures opposed to the Kiev Junta was authorized by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), and was supervised by the Kharkov political elite; the 'cleaners of Free Ukraine' turned out to be Kharkov-based nationalist groups."

Don't Travel to Israel Ever for Any Reason!
by Stephen Lendman
Doing so could be nightmarish - especially for anyone wishing to visit Occupied Palestine.
What French music students Philomene Constant and Bastien Anthoine experienced could happen to anyone.
Mondoweiss published their horrifying account. Israeli hospitality reflects police state viciousness.
Stay far away from its borders. Warn others against traveling there. Jewishness is no protection.
Beginning in September 2013, Philomene and Bastien spent a year in Occupied Palestine.
"We gave and attended music classes (violin and flute) at the Edward Said National Conservatory in Ramallah and helped to create a music school in Jericho," they said.
Obama Wars Rage at Home and Abroad
by Stephen Lendman
Endless Obama wars of aggression rage in multiple theaters abroad and at home against ordinary Americans.
Yemen is his latest imperial atrocity using regional proxies to do his dirty work. A nation is being systematically destroyed.
Its entire population is threatened by terror-bombing, ground conflict, war related violence, starvation, overall deprivation and appalling human misery.
Ukraine threatens to explode in escalated war - at Obama's discretion. Hundreds of US, UK and Canadian combat troops are readying its Nazi-infested National Guard and likeminded paramilitary battalions to wage greater terror-war without mercy than already on Donbass residents wanting to live free from the scourge of US-imposed fascist dictatorship.
Chances for Peace in Ukraine: Zero
by Stephen Lendman
Low-level US/ordered/Kiev initiated conflict before resumed full-scale may not last much longer.
Over 1,500 US, UK, and Canadian combat troops are readying Ukraine's Nazi-infested National Guard and likeminded paramilitary battalions for resumed genocidal war on Donbass.
Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) parliament speaker Andrey Purgin said foreign elements are training Ukrainian extremists already with "their hands up to the elbows in blood."
Foreign mercenaries continue supporting Kiev. DPR Defense Ministry spokesman Eduard Basurin said US State Department enlisted Blackwater elements are involved.
Washington continues sending Kiev heavy weapons. Daily shellings continue. Minsk ceasefire terms were dead on arrival. Kiev violated them straightaway.
According to the Saker, "(t)here is very little doubt left in anybody's mind that the junta will resume a full-scale attack on" Donbass.
"(A)ny hopes for a weakening of the US and/or European support for the Nazi junta are now dead."
Washington intends resuming full-scale war - perhaps goading Russia to intervene.
US/Saudi Blockade Prevents Vital Humanitarian Aid from Reaching Yemen
by Stephen Lendman
Yemen is Obama's war - more genocide on his rap sheet against 25 million Yemenis wanting freedom from imperial oppression.
US/Saudi imposed air and sea blockade prevents vital humanitarian aid in amounts needed from reaching desperate Yemenis - including food, clean water, medical supplies and other essentials to life.
Obama, Saudis and rogue regional allies (including Israel) want Yemenis starved to death or perishing from untreated serious wounds.
Reuters reported desperately needed vital aid is being blocked. Saudis continue "holding up food deliveries by sea" and air.
ICRC spokeswoman Marie Claire Feghali said things "were difficult enough before, but now there are just no words for how bad (they've) gotten."
Israel Aids Nepalese Victims, Blocks Gaza Reconstruction
by Stephen Lendman
Israel and America give double standard hypocrisy new meaning. Washington wages endless direct and proxy wars of aggression claiming humanitarian intervention.
Israeli occupation harshness is nearly seven decades old. Besieged Gazans suffer most - preemptively attacked by land, sea and air at Israel's discretion, isolated in the world's largest open-air prison.
Last summer's genocidal war left large parts of Gaza in ruins - besides committing mass murder, including willfully massacring mostly noncombatant men, women, children, infants and the elderly.
According to UNRWA, "(n)ot a single home has been rebuilt" - eight months after Israel's genocidal war ended.
Congressional Legislation Targets BDS Initiatives
Stephen Lendman
AIPAC-promoted/anti-BDS measures were attached as amendments to House and Senate fast track legislation introduced earlier in April.
Its purpose is to ram through Congress Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) bills global justice advocates call NAFTA on steroids - stealth corporate coup d'etats.
The House measure "discourage(s) politically motivated actions to boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel and seek(s) the elimination of politically motivated non-tariff barriers on Israeli goods, services, or other commerce imposed on the State of Israel."
Chernobyl All Over Again
by Stephen Lendman
Forest fires rage in Ukraine dangerously close to Chernobyl. Ukrainian interior minister Arsen Avakov said conditions "worsened."
"The forest fire is heading in the direction of Chernobyl's installations," he said. Treetop flames and strong gusts of wind have created a real danger of the fire spreading to an area within 20 kilometers of the power plant."
"There are about (1,000 acres) of forests in the endangered area," he claimed. "National Guard and interior ministry forces have been put on combat alert."
The April 26, 1986 Chernobyl incident was the worst nuclear power plant disaster up to that time - exceeded only by Japan's Fukushima (March 11, 2011).
