‘Blackula’ Obama, Whistleblowers, & Betrayal by the Media
By Larry Pinkney
“If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
–Malcolm X [el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz]
“I think people are dazzled by Obama’s rhetoric, and that people ought to begin to understand that Obama is going to be a mediocre president – which means, in our time, a dangerous president…”
–Howard Zinn
Laws without justice represent nothing more than a legally codified dictatorship.
The national and global power elite’s corporate-stream media engages in the incessant and insipid strategy of ‘killing the messenger’ while deliberately distracting, diverting from and ignoring the message itself. As such, the corporate-stream media keeps a vast amount of everyday ordinary Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people in a comatose state of confusion and manipulation. This of course serves the insidious objectives of the corporate owned Barack Obama and his Democrat and Republican party cohorts.
Obama in Africa
by Stephen Lendman
Voice of America reflects raw imperial power. It broadcasts US propaganda globally.
On June 26, it said Obama "arrived in Senegal, the first stop of a three-nation African trip, focused on supporting democratic progress, and increasing US trade and investment."
It's his second African trip. He visited earlier as a freshman Illinois senator. He told Kenyans, "I want you all to know that as your ally, your friend and your brother, I will be there in every way I can." He lied. He's a serial liar. Democracy is verboten. Washington tolerates none at home or abroad. America comes to exploit. At issue is controlling Africa's rich resources.
Snowden: Shooting the Messenger
by Stephen Lendman
A previous article said challenging US lawlessness more than ever matters. Big Brother spying reflects it. Unprecedented global surveillance is official US policy.
Everyone can be monitored all the time, everywhere, for any reason or none at all. National security threats are fabricated. America's only enemies are ones it creates.
The ACLU said "(i)t's time to get angry. (It's) "Time to Rein in the Surveillance State." Stop lawless US spying. Mega-data-mining's unconstitutional.
"This unprecedented surveillance strikes at the core of our right to free speech, association, and privacy."
"On June 10, 2013, the ACLU filed a motion with the FISA Court seeking the release of its secret opinions that enable the mass acquisition of phone records."
Anything goes is policy. Hegemons make their own rules. They operate extrajudicially. Snowden revealed what everyone needs to know. He did so heroically. He's vilified for doing the right thing.
Lynne Stewart Denied Compassionate Release
by Stephen Lendman
Numerous previous articles discussed her. She's one of America's best. She's a role model for others.
She's wrongfully imprisoned. She got 10 years for acting responsibly. She served others honorably, ethically, and heroically.
She did so for 30 years. Doing the right thing matters. It's its own reward. She defended clients prosecutors wanted wrongfully imprisoned. They have no chance for justice without advocates like her.
Obama wants her silenced. He wants justice denied. He reflects the worst of America's dark side. No pun intended. He wants Lynne dead.
Ecowarriors destroy 6,000 GM beets in Oregon
By Rady Ananda
Food Freedom News
To protect against genetic contamination, a group of ecodefenders destroyed 6,000 genetically modified beets in Jackson County, Oregon earlier this month. The FBI is involved and has deemed the act "economic sabotage," despite that Syngenta is creating products that economically destroy organic crops through genetic contamination and pesticide aerial drift.
When cross contamination occurs, then our corrupt judicial system blames the victim farmer who is ordered to pay Monsanto for the company's failure to control its frankenseeds that contaminated her organic crops.
And they report that shit with a straight face.
Also in Oregon, because our corrupt government won't join the EU in banning neonicotinoids, someone at Target ordered several flowering linden trees (Tilia americana) in the parking lot to be doused with the poison and surprise, surprise, tens of thousands of bees died when over 150 nearby hives also succumbed.
Challenging US Lawlessness
by Stephen Lendman
It's vital today more than ever. America's a rogue terror state. It's ruthlessly out-of-control. It spurns rule of law principles. It mocks democratic rights. It honors its worst. It persecutes its best.
It acts unconscionably. It threatens freedom. It menaces world peace. It endangers humanity. It's guilty of worldwide espionage on a massive, unprecedented scale.
Edward Snowden revealed it. Everyone needs to know. He did it heroically. He accepted great risks. He acted responsibly. He did so because it matters. He's a role model for others. Hopefully he'll embolden others to come forward.
Political Washington vilified him. He's excoriated for doing the right thing. Media scoundrels piled on. They're unprincipled. They're vicious. They're unrelenting. They front for power. They support America's worst crimes. They mock legitimate journalism doing so.
Snowden has millions of world supporters. Important nations respect him. His legitimate rights matter. Russia, China, Ecuador, Venezuela, and other countries stand tall.
Supreme Court Guts Voting Rights Act
by Stephen Lendman
America's High Court lacks legitimacy. It's supremely pro-business, anti-populist, anti-labor, and anti-rule of law fairness. It mocks democratic principles. It does so shamelessly.
On June 25, it eviscerated Voting Rights Act enforcement. It usurped congressional authority. It did so unconscionably. In Shelby County v. Holder, it ruled 5 - 4. More on this below.
A previous article said America's Supremes are notoriously hard right. Equal justice under law is more illusion than reality. Rule of law principles and egalitarian fairness don't matter. Power politics corrupts the High Court. It lacks legitimacy.
Five justices are Federalist Society (FS) members. They include Chief Justice John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, and Clarence Thomas. They're ideological extremists.
Edward Snowden on the Move, History in the Making
by Nozomi Hayase
After the largest leak in NSA history, the unprecedented scale of the PRISM global spying program sparked a global controversy. Whistle-blower Edward Snowden, responsible for the release has been at the eye of the storm of international attention as he left Hong Kong to find sanctuary.
The tired drumbeat of government rhetoric grew louder, with officials calling Snowden a 'traitor' and 'villain', while Hong Kong citizens and others around the world rallied in support of him. Apparently the idea that anyone virtually anywhere in the world has a huge unaccountable government constantly spying on them didn't sit well with a lot of people.
On Friday, the US revealed it had charged Snowden with three felonies, including two under the Espionage Act, the 1917 statute enacted to criminalize dissent against World War I. Despite Obama's campaign promise of transparency and protection for whistleblowers, Snowden is the seventh person to be indicted under Espionage Act by Obama's highly secretive administration.
Snowden on the Move
by Stephen Lendman
Where is Edward Snowden? Unanswered questions remain. Supposedly he traveled from Hong Kong to Moscow en route to Havana and Quito, Ecuador. Or did he? More on that below.
On June 25, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) headlined "Snowden sought Booz Allen job to gather evidence on NSA surveillance."
He said so. "My position with Booz Allen Hamilton granted me access to lists of machines all over the world the NSA hacked," he explained.
"That is why I accepted that position about three months ago." He took less pay "in the course of pursuing specific work. Booz was not the most I've been paid."
Lyndon LaRouche Declares: Only Preemptive Bankruptcy Action Against British Can Save The United States
Lyndon LaRouche (LPAC)
As the result of a careful review of two recent documents publicly released by JP Morgan Chase and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the following urgent call to action has been issued by Lyndon LaRouche through the LaRouche Political Action Committee (LPAC):
Over the last three weeks, you’ve had several explicit statements of intent, from a major faction of the British-European oligarchy. The first was the J.P. Morgan research paper published May 28th which laid out a perspective for the Eurozone.[1] In this 16-page document, they said: We’re halfway there to the establishment of a bankers’ dictatorship over a single-currency European region which no longer has any degree of national sovereignty; and to complete the process, we’ve got to crush any resistance to establishing a dictatorship over all of Europe, an austerity fascist dictatorship, effectively on the model of what was done, at the initiative of the Bank of England and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in the 1930s with the bankrolling of Hitler and the Nazis by the likes of Montagu Norman, Prescott Bush and Averell Harriman. In this document the authors from the JP Morgan London office are very explicit, very transparent that the big problem areas within the Eurozone, are Italy and Germany, in part because of certain residual anti-fascist features of the immediate postwar Constitution in Germany, and impulses in that direction in Italy; but that, basically, this has to be crushed.
