Fast Food Healthcare Coverage
by Stephen Lendman
October 1 begins a new era of healthcare market rules. On the one hand, insurers no longer can refuse consumers for preconditions.
On the other, lots of rude awakenings await. They include bare bones plans. New health insurance exchanges (HIX) are state, federal, or jointly-provided options.
They're marketplaces for consumers to compare and choose plans. They determine who's eligible for federal subsidies.
They offer a confusing array of plans. They're privately run. Many will leave consumers paying around 40% of costs out-of-pocket. They'll do so after spending thousands of dollars on premiums.
Longstanding US/Iranian Relations
by Stephen Lendman
Iranians have long memories. They're well justified. They know how America always treated them. They understand Washington's duplicity. They're well aware of its imperial designs.
Obama's outreach to President Hassan Rohani changed nothing. His entire agenda is duplicitous. He governs with malicious intent. He's waging war on humanity.
Iran's Baku envoy Mohsen Pakayeen said America's "34-year-long animosity cannot be settled with one phone call, although it was a positive start."
"The phone talk between the Iranian and US presidents can be the start of a confidence-building move and if the process leads to the settlement of Iran's nuclear issue, it will serve both countries' interests."
Great Shake Out: Earthquake Preparedness
By Rady Ananda
Last Tuesday, a magnitude 7.7 Mw earthquake in Southwest Pakistan killed at least 515 people and left tens of thousands homeless.
On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 Mw earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, spawning a series of tsunami waves that reached up to 135 feet in height. Over 15,000 people died immediately, and over a million buildings collapsed or were seriously damaged. Worse, three nuclear reactors melted down, poisoning the northern hemisphere with radiation that’s ongoing today. (Please sign this petition.)
Just before 5pm on January 12, 2010, a magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake epicentered about 15 miles west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. That, and the several dozen aftershocks, some with a magnitude of over 5 Mw, condemned over 150,000 people to death and demolished over a million homes.
More on Inventing an Iranian Threat
by Stephen Lendman
None whatever exists. US, other Western, and Israeli leaders know it. Claims they make otherwise are false.
The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) is a pro-Israeli front group.
It calls itself "the most influential group on the issue of US-Israel military relations."
It "advocate(s) on behalf of a strong US military, a robust national security policy, and a strong US security relationship with Israel and other like-minded democracies."
It supports Israeli lawlessness. It endorses its regional dominance plans. It's in lockstep with its war on Palestine and other Middle East enemies.
It seeks full Washington support. It wants it backing Israeli policy. It's connected to high-level military/industrial officials in both countries.
NSA: Rogue Spying Writ Large
by Stephen Lendman
No nation in human history ever harmed more millions of people more grievously than America.
None ever did it more deceptively. None did under the guise of promoting democratic values. None claimed more disingenous nobel intentions.
None expressed more support for human and civil rights while egregiously violating them. None more dangerously threatened humanity. None operated more lawlessly with malicious intent.
NSA is one of many US rogue agencies. It's a power unto itself. It's reckless, ruthless, and out-of-control. It operates extrajudicially. Edward Snowden connected important dots for millions.
What a Way to Run the Country
by Stephen Lendman
Americans get the best democracy money can buy. The best, brightest and most honorable are excluded. Rare exceptions prove the rule.
Washington is dysfunctional, out-of-control, corrupt, lawless and self-serving. Miscreants infest the nation's capital.
They do so like crabgrass besets lawns. Both parties represent two sides of the same coin.
At the same time, each one jousts with the other. They do it for political advantage. Self-interest is the coin of the realm.
Republicans on Crack, Democrats Forget their Job
Michael Collins
There can be no doubt that we are ruled by fools. But, fools on crack are simply unacceptable.
That's what we have. The Republican's aren't just difficult. They're not just blinded by their principles. They're not just passionate to the point of total unreason. They are all of these things plus they're on crack. (Image:
Crack: Crack produces a quick, very intense feeling of euphoria in a rush that lasts about ten minutes. The comedown is just as intense. There's a profound depression after the high. Frequent use is associated with loss of appetite, insomnia, and paranoia. Crack users are frequently more agitated than normal between usages. Crack is highly addictive.
The Republican's just shut down the government of the United States in the midst of a recession, at a time when the actions of both parties have made the nation the target of hostile nations and groups.
While they claim to be the party of business, the Republicans are staging the equivalent of a sit down strike that profoundly disrupts the business of the United States of America. There is not one thing that's businesslike about the shutdown.
Welcome to the New Syria -- Reprise
Michael Collins
The destruction of Syria, in many forms, is proceeding according to plan and on time. When the Western powers and their pals, the oil oligarchs, target your country, it's time to run just as fast as you can.
I wrote Welcome to the New Syria on August 27, 2012. Based on known events and outcomes from the UN-NATO military action against Libya, I offered a number of predictions about the governance of the New Syria presuming a victory by Syrian rebels. At that time, the United States, Turkey, the United Kingdom, France and Gulf oligarchies, Qatar in particular, were full of themselves for their destruction of Libya in the name of democracy and progress. Given the Libya template, it seemed obvious the following would occur in Syria.
Unfortunately, four of the six post-Assad predictions have come true even though the Syrian government retains power. The predictions in the article are quoted below with italicized links. The reporting demonstrates that even with the Syrian government in place, the rebels have done an exceptionally efficient job of inflicting horrors on those parts of the nation under their control.
Chemtrails: A Planetary Catastrophe Created by Geoengineering
by Cosmic Convergence Research Group
Planet Earth has been besieged by many and diverse scientific experiments over the past one hundred years. The quantum leap in applied science and technology has "precipitated" a literal explosion of top secret and highly classified operations conducted in the atmosphere, throughout the planetary surface, as well as deep within the Earth's crust. However, none comes close to the degree of round-the-clock damage inflicted on the biosphere as the DARPA-sponsored program of geo-engineering.
Just one component of this secret geo-engineering program is known as chemtrails. For those who have never heard of chemtrails, they are not to be confused with contrails, which are the normal exhaust vapors ejected from jet engines in flight. Here is a photo of numerous chemtrails having just been laid down by special jets equipped to do the job:
- Can you imagine that the government has labeled these chemtrails as normal contrail activity?
FUKUSHIMA: A Nuclear Catastrophe of Epic Proportions
by Cosmic Convergence Research Group
The China Syndrome Morphs into "The Japan Syndrome"
Never before in the modern era has humankind been confronted with a nuclear disaster the likes of Fukushima. Truly, Japan has become the location of the greatest nuclear catastrophe in history, one that has defied countless attempts to resolve it. Although it was once imagined to occur in China on the silver screen, Japan has experienced the actual "China Syndrome" -- an apocalyptic nuclear meltdown(s). Once again, Japan is the site of an unparalleled atomic event whose aftermath has no end in sight.
Before the nuclear event even took place a vast area around Fukushima was rendered virtually uninhabitable by the 3/11 earthquake, seaquake and resulting tsunami. Here's an accounting of the destruction to life and property, caused by the natural cataclysm, which has never been reported in the mainstream media (MSM).
