Fight the Esblishment
Joel S. Hirschhorn
If you think that the worst thing for the country is electing yet another establishment politician to the presidency, what is your best, most principled action? By you I mean the millions of Americans who have supported the candidacy of either Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump. They have enormous potential power.
Skip forward to the general election and imagine that both Sanders and Trump have not made it to the presidential ballot, a very likely scenario. Clearly, both Trump and Sanders supporters strongly oppose the political establishment. The status quo of what amounts to more of a plutocracy than a legitimate and effective democracy. Now, what do these angry, disappointed Americans do in the general election? Cave and vote for the lesser of two evils? Or, is there a better solution? There is. It is to not vote for any presidential candidate.
Calling Russia America’s Greatest Strategic Threat Risks Direct Confrontation
Stephen Lendman
US/Russian relations are adversarial. Nothing in prospect suggests change. Neocon lunatics in Washington bear full responsibility. Is eventual war inevitable?
Will nuclear weapons be used for long sought regime change? Is the unthinkable possible? Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and NATO commander General Philip Breedlove, among others, persist in calling Russia America’s greatest existential threat.
Putin is committed to world peace, stability and mutual cooperation among all nations. Moscow threatens no one. Washington is the greatest threat to world peace under Republican or Democrat leadership.
A nation perpetually at war risks igniting it globally with super-weapons able to end life on earth. Rogue leadership in Washington threatens it.
America Represents the Greatest Threat to World Peace
Stephen Lendman
America needs enemies to justify its imperial agenda. When none exist, they’re invented.
Cold War politics never died. After Soviet Russia dissolved, everything changed but stayed the same, largely dormant during the Yeltsin years, reemerged under Putin as Russia’s leader - a force for good, not evil, polar opposite America’s agenda.
The real evil empire resides in Washington, waging endless wars against nonbelligerent nations, threatening world peace, humanity’s survival if nuclear war is launched.
On Monday, Obama met with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the White House. The Alliance is for offense, not defense, a killing machine menace.
Obama lied, calling it “the lynchpin, the cornerstone of our collective defense and US security policy” - without explaining no nations threaten America or any NATO state.
Ousting Assad Remains Official US Policy
Stephen Lendman
In March 2011, Obama launched naked aggression on Syria, using imported death squads as proxy fighters, creating the myth about civil war - wanting Assad replaced with US controlled puppet governance the way Gaddafi was ousted and murdered.
Over five years later, endless conflict rages. Washington and its rogue allies continue supporting ISIS and likeminded terrorist groups while claiming they’re combatting them.
When farcical peace talks resume this weekend, if things go as planned, expect continued failure to resolve things, both sides intractably apart, discussions a waste of time.
Washington wants war, not peace. It wants Syrians having no say on who’ll lead them while claiming otherwise - polar opposite Russia’s position.
Obama’s Nuclear Security Summit Ignores Greatest Threat
Stephen Lendman
Nuclear armed and dangerous America and Israel pose the greatest threat to world peace.
Obama’s just concluded Nuclear Security Summit ignored it entirely. Russia declined to attend for good reason. More on this below.
Obama’s demagoguery makes painful listening. He commented at NSS’ closing session, hailing dubious “extensive and impressive…steps” taken to keep nuclear material out of the hands of “terrorists.”Arsenals controlled by state terrorists alone matter. Extremist groups have no ability to enrich uranium or produce nuclear weapons.
They’re unable to operate without extensive support America and its rogue allies provide. Obama calling ISIS “a threat to us all” ignored its US creation, used as imperial death squads where they’re deployed.
Truth About Cancer Documentary
Stephen Lendman
Information on the important documentary to be released online April 12 states “CANCER WILL KILL NEARLY 8 MILLION PEOPLE THIS YEAR.”
Truth is systematically suppressed on how to avoid being one of its victims. Media scoundrels won’t air the documentary, with vital information drug industry bandits want suppressed.
Media freedom in America is wishful thinking. Industry corporate giants suppress what’s most important to report.
People are systematically lied to. Big Pharma is hated for good reason, profiting from ripping off consumers, contesting natural/alternative remedies to their toxic choices.
According to Health Ranger Mike Adams, The Truth About Cancer documentary “threatens to collapse the for-profit cancer industry,” benefitting hugely from remedies often causing more harm than good.
Judge Rules Clinton Exhibited ‘Wrong-Doing and Bad Faith’
Eric Zuesse
A U.S. District Court Judge ruled, on Tuesday March 29th, that in the civil matter of Hillary Clinton’s State Department emails, “there is evidence of government wrong-doing and bad faith.” Consequently, he has granted to Clinton’s adversary in the proceedings, Judicial Watch, what they had been seeking, which was “limited discovery” to seek further evidence about what she had done and why. (NOTE: This is not in the FBI’s potential criminal case against her, which remains at a preliminary stage. A main purpose of the civil case is to develop evidence that can assist in a potential criminal prosecution against the defendant.)
The Judge, Royce C. Lambreth, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, further noted that there have been “constantly shifting admissions by the Government and the former officials.” This was a veiled reference to the former Secretary of State, Clinton.
CNN Features World-Class Thug Erdogan
Stephen Lendman
CNN mocks legitimate journalism, a mouthpiece for wealth and power like its scoundrel media counterparts.
Credible news, information and analysis are systematically suppressed, banished from its broadcasts, state-sponsored propaganda and rubbish not fit to air substituting.
On March 31, CNN disgracefully gave notorious despot Erdogan a platform to lie.
Imperial cheerleader Christiane Amanpour interviewed him without challenging his litany of Big Lies, state-sponsored terror, support for ISIS and other terrorist groups, used to wage proxy war on Syria.
Trump’s First 100 Days As President
Stephen Lendman
Should a billionaire be entrusted to lead the country? Perhaps his only redeeming quality is he’d likely not start WW III.
Interviewed on April 2, he said he’d govern like he campaigns if elected president, a nontraditional Trumpian approach, he explained.
During the height of the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt’s first 100 days were historic, a unique post-electoral period. More on it below.
Trump barely touched on his first 100 days if elected president. Whoever succeeds Obama enters office during America’s second Great Depression, a Main Street one, affecting tens of millions of unemployed, underemployed struggling people in a nation systematically being thirdworldized.
Unlimited Propagandistic Lying from CNN
Eric Zuesse
On Saturday April 2nd, CNN headlined, “U.S. F-15s Deployed to Iceland,” and Zachary Cohen opened:
Demonstrating its commitment to a ‘free' and ‘secure' Europe, the United States deployed 12 F-15C Eagles and approximately 350 airmen to Iceland and the Netherlands on Friday, the Air Force announced. U.S. aircraft units from the 131st Fighter Squadron at Barnes Air National Guard Base in Massachusetts and the 194th Fighter Squadron at Fresno Air National Guard Base in California will support NATO air surveillance missions in Iceland and conduct flying training in the Netherlands.The F-15s are not the only package of American fighters being sent to Europe in an effort to deter further Russian aggression in the region.
