The Owner of Rolling Stone Endorses Hillary Clinton for President
Eric Zuesse
His name is Jann Wenner, and he says he endorses her because, "Hillary Clinton is one of the most qualified candidates for the presidency in modern times.” He doesn’t explain what he means by that.
Here are her qualifications — it's her actual record, as the U.S. Secretary of State, and links are also provided there to her record as U.S. Senator before that. She was Senator for 8 years, and was Secretary of State for one 4-year term. (Prior to that, she was First Lady for 8 years, no government-decisionmaker.) Her opponent Bernie Sanders was U.S. Congressman for 18 years, and U.S. Senator for 10 years. (Prior to that, he was a political demonstrator and activist for many years, and was sent to jail in the early 1960s for leading a Chicago demonstration against racial segregation, and he was also the Mayor of Burlington Vermont, prior to being elected to Congress.)
Message from Palmyra
Stephen Lendman
Routing ISIS from Palmyra decisively is the most important strategic victory in the struggle to liberate Syria from foreign terrorist invaders since Obama launched naked aggression in March 2011.
He continues using them as imperial foot soldiers, death squad mercenaries, not Syrians waging civil conflict, the official Big Lie.
Triumph over the weekend highlighted the enormous contribution of Russian air power, logistical and other support.
Moscow backs its allies forthrightly. Washington uses other countries to further its imperial interests. The difference in approaches is stark.
Since Russia intervened on September 30, the tide of battle turned. ISIS and other terrorist groups suffered significant defeats. They continue losing ground to government forces.
Documented Link Between Turkey and ISIS
Stephen Lendman
Previous articles discussed Erdogan’s support for ISIS, giving its fighters safe haven on Turkish territory, allowing them free cross-border passage into Syria and return, providing them arms and other material support, selling their stolen oil.
An RT International documentary film crew discovered damning evidence found by Kurdish YPG fighters in northern Syria of Turkey’s involvement with ISIS in transporting, refining and selling stolen Syrian oil - Erdogan and other regime officials profiting hugely, separate evidence revealing it. Turkey claiming it’s combating ISIS, not supporting it, is contradicted by hard evidence proving otherwise.
Documents RT got from Kurdish fighters included “detailed invoices used by IS to calculate daily revenues from their oil fields and refineries, as well as the amount of oil extracted there,” it reported.
Clinton Email Revelation: Destroying Syria “Best Way to Help Israel”
Stephen Lendman
Ellen Brown’s important article on Clinton’s emails as secretary of state revealed raping Libya and killing Gaddafi had nothing to do with ousting a dictator. The official story is always cover for a diabolical hidden agenda.
ls provide a window into her soul, revealing a ruthless she-devil, too wicked to entrust with the power of the nation’s highest office, or any other public position.
Her orchestrated naked on Libya had everything to do with “money, banking and preventing African economic sovereignty,” Brown explained.
More was involved, discussed in my own articles in October 2011 and February 2016 (drawing on the earlier one), including replacing the Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (a “state of masses,” sharing the nation’s oil wealth with the people by providing extraordinary social benefits) with Western controlled tyranny.
Russian Documentary Shows ISIS Documents of Turkey’s Assistance
Eric Zuesse
Russian Television is starting a series of documentaries showing captured ISIS documents, and Turkish-border-stamped passports of ISIS fighters. The initial news-report also refers to a ‘fatwa’ that allegedly allows infidels to be killed to supply fresh organs for transplantation into severely injured ISIS fighters.
Invoices are shown for records of Syrian oil trucked into Turkey for sale, which indicate "the name of the driver, the vehicle type driven, and the weight of the truck, both full and empty, as well as the agreed upon price and invoice number. One of the discovered invoices dated 11 January, 2016, says that IS had extracted some 1,925 barrels of oil from Kabibah oil field and sold it for $38,342.” Turkey then sells it for far more — the current market-price.
The Rise of the Jewish Policy Elite: Meritocracy, Myth and Power
James Petras
Introduction
Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court marks a continuation and deepening of the lopsided ethno-religious representation in the US judicial system. If Garland is appointed, Jewish justices will comprise 45% of the Court, even though they represent less than 2% of the overall population. Roman Catholics comprise the other 55% of the Court - even though they represent approximately 30% of the population. Protestants (historically the authors and signers of the country’s foundational documents, and the major confessional group) are totally absent from this august body of jurists.
Equally important the increasing power of Jewish justices on the Supreme Court is accelerating: Counting Garland, two of the last three appointments (67%) have been Jews.
UN Human Rights Council Establishing Database Of Israeli Settlement Companies
Stephen Lendman
The normally pro-Western UN Human Rights Council (HRC) surprisingly intends establishing a database of Israeli settlement companies operating illegally on stolen Palestinian and Syrian land - including in the Occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and Syria’s Golan.
Netanyahu blasts initiatives, reports or publicly revealed information critical of oppressive Israeli policies, especially its high crimes. Whenever he opens his mouth he puts his foot in it. He called the HRC “an anti-Israeli circus…attack(ing) the only democracy (sic) in the Middle East…instead of dealing with the Palestinians’ terrorist attacks (sic)…”
He called on “responsible governments (sic) not to honor the decisions of the Council that discriminate against Israel.
Politics Isn’t for Sissies
Stephen Lendman
Harry Truman once reportedly said “(i)f you want a friend in Washington get a dog.” Political campaigns are rough and tumble, virtually no-holds-barred, notably this year with everyone bashing Trump.
His campaign features regular ad hominem attacks on all his rival aspirants, and now Cruz is accused of multiple extramarital affairs.
If true, it’s hardly a Washington anomaly. Numerous past presidents had them, including Washington, Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Jack Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton, among others.
Cruz denied a story leaked to the National Enquirer, blaming Trump for planting “complete and utter lies. It is a tabloid smear…from Donald Trump and his henchmen,” he maintains.
Trump issued a statement, saying he has “no idea” whether the story is true, stressing he had nothing to do with it, adding:
“Ted Cruz’s problem with the National Enquirer is his and his alone, and while they were right about O.J. Simpson, John Edwards, and many others, I certainly hope they are not right about Lyin’ Ted Cruz.”
NAFTA and Obama’s Proposed ‘Trade’ Deals Are UnConstitutional
Eric Zuesse
NAFTA and other mega-‘trade’ deals are actually about lots more than merely ‘trade’; they’re about sovereignty — the ability of each of the participating nations to establish laws and regulations restricting toxicity of products, environmental pollution, protecting workers’ rights, and many other things that are essential to the public's welfare. These ‘trade’ deals lock-in existing laws and regulations so that no matter what is found by future scientific studies which may indicate, for example, that a given product is actually far more toxic than had previously been known, the laws and regulations can’t be increased, because any such increase would subject the given nation to multi-billion-dollar lawsuits by international corporations for ‘infringing on the rights of stockholders to profit’ by any stiffening of those regulations existing at the time the ‘trade’ deal became law. Thus, for the first time in world history, the rights of the holders of the controlling blocs of stock in international corporations are coming to supersede the rights of any government, so that those stockholders can sue taxpayers of any such country, not in any democratically accountable court and judicial system, but in private panels of unaccountable international ‘arbitrators’ who won’t be subject to any nation’s laws. It’s an international-corporate world government now forming, and the U.S. Constitution prohibits the U.S. from being any part of it (because what’s forming is an international-corporate dictatorship); so, in the U.S., it’s being done entirely unConstitutionally.
The Scourge of State-Sponsored Terrorism
Stephen Lendman
Brussels blasts like similar incidents in US and other European cities have clear earmarks of state-sponsored false flags - 9/11 the mother of them all, acts initiated with internal and geopolitical aims in mind, governments blaming convenient patsies for their crimes.
State-sponsored terrorist acts are declarations of war on fundamental freedoms, used to achieve objectives not otherwise possible to attain - including transforming free societies into tyrannical ones, waging wars on humanity at home and abroad on the phony pretext of protecting security, things made less secure, unstable and intolerable. America’s war on terrorism is a complete fabrication, the public manipulated by fear-mongering, hyped by media scoundrels ad nauseam, mouthpieces for power.
