Egypt's Bloody Wednesday
by Stephen Lendman
On January 30, 1972, Northern Ireland's Bogside Massacre was called Bloody Sunday. UK soldiers shot 26 unarmed civilian protesters and bystanders. They did so in cold blood.
Fourteen deaths resulted. So did numerous injuries. Reports said five civilians were shot in the back of the head.
The incident occurred during a nonviolent Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march. Critics called what happened reckless.
Authorities largely cleared participating soldiers of blame. Controversy still resonates today. Everyone shot was unarmed. A belated 2010 Saville Inquiry said killings were "unjustified and unjustifiable."
Screaming in Bradley Manning's Trial
By David Swanson

I sat in the courtroom all day on Wednesday as Bradley Manning's trial wound its way to a tragic and demoralizing conclusion. I wanted to hear Eugene Debs, and instead I was trapped there, watching Socrates reach for the hemlock and gulp it down. Just a few minutes in and I wanted to scream or shout.
I don't blame Bradley Manning for apologizing for his actions and effectively begging for the court's mercy. He's on trial in a system rigged against him. The commander in chief declared him guilty long ago. He's been convicted. The judge has been offered a promotion. The prosecution has been given a playing field slanted steeply in its favor. Why should Manning not follow the only advice anyone's ever given him and seek to minimize his sentence? Maybe he actually believes that what he did was wrong. But -- wow -- does it make for some perverse palaver in the courtroom.
Regardless of Screeching Media Banter, Whistleblowers are our Bravest Heroes
By Vincent L. Guarisco
"The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action." ~~ John Dewey
Earlier this month, I published an article about Edward Snowden, an NSA whistleblower who bravely spilled the beans about how the NSA and their affiliates are wiretapping the planet. Snowden is a wise man who made the right decision in not trusting the U.S. Justice system, who recently was granted temporary asylum in Russia. However, I want to focus on a different unique individual and give credit to whistleblowers in general.
Many of us will never truly understand the significance of giving oneself for a worthy cause... the selfless act of becoming a "whistleblower." To sacrifice everything you hold dear -- loved ones, freedom and sometimes... even your life -- in order to shed truth to a public that routinely is accustomed to wrongfully believing the unbelievable at face value.
Sham Peace Talks Resume
by Stephen Lendman
Why bother. Talks are doomed to fail. So did multiple previous rounds. Israel wants things its way. Demands masquerade as give and take.
According to one PLO official, "Israel will dodge, evade and propose unachievable demands to promote a conclusion that negotiations are futile, and so Israel will continue to steal lands as they are doing now."
It's hard imagining Palestinian officials agreeing to talks rigged to fail. Longtime Israeli collaborators do it willingly. It's for generous benefits they derive. Crime pays well. So does betrayal.
Obama Appoints Spy Chief to Head NSA Investigation
by Stephen Lendman
You can't make this stuff up. It sounds like a bad film plot. The fix is in. Obama's reform assures business as usual. His promises aren't worth the paper they're written on.
He says one thing. He does another. It happens every time. He broke every major promise made. He's a serial liar. He governs lawlessly.
He claims Washington doesn't have a domestic spying. NSA monitors everyone everywhere all the time. Obama lied claiming otherwise.A previous article said London's Guardian headlined "NSA loophole allows warrantless search for US citizens' emails and phone calls."
Snowden revealed a secret NSA backdoor. It's a previously undisclosed rule. It lets NSA operatives "hunt for individual Americans' communications using their name or other identifying information."
Egypt: Blood in the Streets
by Stephen Lendman
Junta power runs Egypt. Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) generals decide policy. Interim officials serve at their pleasure.
On July 3, President Mohamed Morsi was ousted. Coup authority replaced him. It did illegitimately. His supporters want him reinstated. They've been camped out in Cairo for weeks. SCAF threatened to roust them.
Tensions remained high. Morsi supporters have been repeatedly attacked. Hundreds died earlier. Many others were injured. Scores are imprisoned. Arrests follow regularly. Ahead of Wednesday's action, Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy said: "Law and order has to be in place, and people need to have access to their homes and work and so on."
America: Addicted to War
by Stephen Lendman
It's been that way from inception. America's history reflects violence. It's blood-drenched. It glorifies war. It does so in the name of peace.
America believes war is peace. It's part of the national culture. Eventually it's self-destructive. Today's super-weapons make the unthinkable possible.
Hyman Rickover knew. He knew decades ago. He founded America's nuclear navy. In 1982, he told Congress:
"I do not believe that nuclear power is worth it if it creates radiation." Then you might ask me why do I have nuclear powered ships?"
"That is a necessary evil. I would sink them all. I am not proud of the part I played in it. I did it because it was necessary for the safety of this country."
That's why I am such a great exponent of stopping this whole nonsense of war. Unfortunately limits - attempts to limit war have always failed."
"The lesson of history is when a war starts every nation will ultimately use whatever weapon it has available."
"Every time you produce radiation, you produce something that has a certain half-life, in some cases for billions of years."
Orwellian Smart Grid Exposé to air Sept. 5
By Rady Ananda
Activist Post
A single smart meter measuring a home’s electricity usage, by appliance, emits radiation 100 times higher than the level internationally recognized as “extreme concern” and 450 times higher than a cell phone.
These are but two of the facts presented in Josh del Sol’s long-awaited documentary, Take Back Your Power, which will air online September 5.
My Favorite Dog Tricks - Blocked by YouTube
Just two days ago, on August 10, 2013, I published the article “They Lived" at Sandy Hook. They Live is a movie about a nameless, unemployed drifter referred to as “Nada” (Roddy Piper), who discovers a special pair of sunglasses that allows him to see an alternate reality of a bleak world populated by humanoid aliens with grotesque skull-like faces. From 2007 to April 5, 2013, They Live could be streamed or downloaded for free from a number of websites. But today the links to watch the movie for free are all dead. [1]
My article, “They Lived" at Sandy Hook, makes a prima facie case that Obama's Cyber-warriors and the Internet Police removed the movie because They Live is the key to solving The Sandy Hook Conspiracy Paradox:
The massacre, the worst school shooting in U.S. history, was staged by FEMA with crisis actors and made to look like a joint government-media operation false flag event. Furthermore, Adam Lanza, a scrawny, socially awkward 20-year old, mind controlled patsy, could not have shot 20 innocent children (and six adults) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in less than five minutes, with an assault rifle [still in the trunk of his car] and handguns that his cheerful, self-reliant mother purchased for self-defense and target shooting, because [I repeat, he could not have shot anyone anywhere on December 14] according to the Social Security Death index, Lanza died the day before on December 13.
However, a conspiracy involving the CIA, FBI, police departments in two cities, the coroners office, crisis actors, FEMA, Homeland Security, and the Newtown Bee is a Paradox because someone from the CIA, FBI, police departments in two cities, the coroners office, crisis actors, FEMA, Homeland Security, and the Newtown Bee would have come forward and buzzed the real truth about what really happened.
They Live is the key to solving the paradox. The article has an embedded link to a six-minute clip uploaded by nwopuppet on September 28, 2010. [2] The clip graphically illustrates why They Live is the solution to the paradox.
All of the people involved in Sandy Hook: the CIA, FBI, police departments in two cities, the coroners office, crisis actors, FEMA, Homeland Security, and the Newtown Bee, are humanoids that live live in an alternate reality that we can't see or understand because we don’t have the right sunglasses. Therefore they will never come forward and buzz the real truth to us mortal humans about what really happened at Sandy Hook.
As of today, the clip that you can watch below and uploaded by nwopuppet is still live.
In the article just below the clip by nwopuppet, I included the following sentence just in case someone took nwopuppet's clip down.
Click here to watch a copy of the six-minute clip just in case Obama's Cyber-warriors pressed the Internet Kill Switch on the video that solves the paradox.
We uploaded a copy of the clip under an account by Elliot Johnson and titled the video "My Favorite Dog Tricks."
Today, again two days after we uploaded the six-minute copy and published the article, we received the following email from Youtube
The Obama Regime’s Fabricated “Terror Conspiracy” in Defense of the Police State
James Petras
Introduction
Representative democracies and autocratic dictatorships respond to profound internal crises in very distinctive ways: the former attempts to reason with citizens, explaining the causes, consequences and alternatives; dictatorships attempt to terrorize, intimidate and distract the public by evoking bogus external threats, to perpetuate and justify rule by police state methods and avoid facing up to the self-inflicted crises.
Such a bogus fabrication is evident in the Obama regime’s current announcements of an imminent global “terrorist threat”[1] in the face of multiple crises, policy failures and defeats throughout the Middle East, North Africa and Southwest Asia.
