High Court Injustice
by Stephen Lendman
Two June 2010 decisions show the workings of a right wing High Court, with five Federalist Society members - Chief Justice John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy, and Samuel Alito.
Once confirmed, Elana Kagan will solidify their control when the Court reconvenes in October - her record exposing extremist positions, including outlandish anti-terrorism practices, unconstitutional federal litigation, and "love (for) the Federalist Society," affirming her endorsement of an organization supporting rolling back civil liberties; defiling human rights; ending New Deal social policies; opposing reproductive choice, government regulations, labor rights, and environmental protections; subverting justice in defense of privilege; and as Solicitor General, arguing against First Amendment rights without which all others are at risk - an ideology the Court endorses, one protecting privilege against the rule of law.
Rolling Back First Amendment Protections
The despised state of Israel cannot survive for long: Christopher Bollyn
Kourosh Ziabari
"9-11 was an Israeli-designed "false-flag" operation..."
Christopher Bollyn is an American journalist and researcher. He is widely known for his extensive researches on the September 11, 2001 attacks which reveal that Israel has been complicit in planning and carrying out the terrorist attacks that cost the lives of 2,976 victims and left more than 6,000 injured. The U.S. government under ex-President Bush introduced the paramilitary group Al-Qaida the main culprit of the attacks and adopted an aggressive policy towards the Muslim nations thereafter It also enacted the USA PATRIOT Act that would enable the U.S. government to search and investigate the telephone and email communications of the U.S. citizens under the pretext of discovering and mapping out the possible threats to the U.S. national security. Bollyn has written on the U.S. – Israel relations comprehensively and believes that a powerful corporate cartel of Zionists control and mastermind the large-scale U.S. foreign policy.
What follows is the full text of an in-depth interview with Christopher Bollyn in which we've discussed the post 9-11 "War on Terrorism" project devised by the Bush administration, the complicity of the state of Israel in the 9-11 attacks, the fate of Israeli regime in the wake of its growing isolation, the stance of United States administration towards Iran's nuclear dossier and the double standards it exercises with regards to the Israel's military nuclear program.
You've Gotta Fight For Your Right....To PARTY!
by Keith Johnson
See that man standing in the bleachers? That’s me—I’m an American, dammit! Every time I hear that “Star Spangled Banner” played over the loud speakers, I set my $7 cup of beer down here on the seat and proudly place my right hand over my heart. See that tear in my eye? That’s what you call patriotism.
I can’t tell you what the sixth amendment is, but I do know who won game six in the NBA finals.
When I hear people complain about the government, I tell them “listen, buddy…if you don’t love America, why don’t you just geeeet out!”
I’ve got Alan Jackson in my CD player and a yellow “Support The Troops” sticker on my bumper. I do my part. I pay my taxes and I raised my son on Tom Clancy video games. He’s in Afghanistan right now putting those skills to work. What have you done for your country lately?
Stanley Sporkin: BP's Ombudsman Fixer
by Stephen Lendman
Some call him Stanley the Fixer, Catherine Austin Fitts for one, a former high level government and Wall Street insider, now editor of Solari.com and running Solari, Inc., an ethical online investment firm specializing in preserving family wealth. Besides on her own firm and a wealth of information on important topics, her site provides extensive coverage of Sporkin, including unanswered questions about him.
On September 5, 2006, the Wall Street Journal reported that BP hired him as ombudsman "to hear worker complaints from Alaska and elsewhere in the US," a move to quiet criticism about company operations, given its history of safety and environmental violations, and long record as a serial scofflaw, making daily headlines for the past two months and sure for much longer, keeping Sporkin hyperactive on the job.
Erdogan; the new hero of Islamic world
Kourosh Ziabari
The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has stirred up international appreciation after he courageously blasted the Tel Aviv leaders for the bloody massacre of the peace activists aboard the Freedom Flotilla convoy of humanitarian aids which was heading towards the besieged Gaza strip to break the three-year-long blockade of the war-stricken enclave.
The beleaguered Gaza strip has been grappling with deteriorating economic and social situation over the past three years and needs urgent humanitarian aids to be disentangled from the growing crisis it's facing. More than 80% of the Gaza strip's 1.5m population lives under poverty threshold. The unemployment rate of the enclave hit 41.3% in 2008. According to the United Nations' World Food Program (WFP), some 70 percent of Gaza's population is food insecure and the vast majority is dependant on assistance from the United Nations to cover its basic needs.
Elena Kagan - Willing Accomplice
Should Elena Kagan be approved as a justice to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States?
As it turns out there's a supremely simple method of testing her suitability. Once applied, citizens of any political persuasion will see that her nomination should be rejected outright.
As Solicitor General of the United States, Kagan argued against an appeal to the Supreme Court by former Alabama Governor, Don Siegelman in November, 2009. The Siegelman prosecution is viewed by many as one of the gravest injustices of the modern era, a purely political prosecution initiated by the Gonzales Justice Department.
Forty four former state attorneys general were so concerned that they issued a public petition on Siegelman's behalf in 2007. The petition to the United States House of Representatives urged prompt investigation of the many shady dealings in the Siegelman case, before, during and after his trial. They framed their petition in this simple sentence: "The U.S. justice system should be above reproach." It wasn't.
Life, Liberty and Property: Let Freedom Ring
By Robert Singer
My articles cover politics and the financial and environmental implications of our consumer society and I make a prima facie case that:
The Federal Reserve isn’t evil because they print our money and make us pay interest on the principal,
They are evil because, until October of 2008, the monetary policy that created money out of “thin air”, so we could live the American Dream, put humanity at the “unknown points of no return.”
According to the GEO4, a massive United Nations report, the planet is in “dire environmental straits and we have probably passed the “unknown points of no return” because humanity’s footprint [its environmental demand] is 21.9 hectares per person while the Earth’s biological capacity is, on average, only 15.7 ha/person.”
There are only three possibilities for how we passed the “unknown points of no return”, and the first two make no sense:
- Those scoundrels of our filtered history books, The Global Financial Elite (TGFE), behind the Federal Reserve, Rockefeller, Kuhn, Loeb and Morgan were inept, corrupt or just “stupid when they gave up their real wealth: raw materials, commodities, copper, iron ore, petroleum, lead, copper, silver and gold in exchange for $500 trillion of the fiat currency (monopoly money) they created out of “thin air” so Americans could “trash the planet”. (Dem Bones is Connected To De Debt Bone)
- TGFE are really benevolent and wanted their former serfs and slaves to have the highest standard of living for the last 75 years. (Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité – Providence, Miracle or What Really Happened)
We probably passed the “unknown points of no return” because our last President Bush was deadly serious when, after rejecting the global climate change targets of the July 2008 G8 summit, he said, "Goodbye, from the (then) world's biggest polluter."
George W. Bush connected to the Federal Reserve and TGFE, while president lost the war on terrorism and the war in Iraq, but was winning the war waged on the environment.
Therefore, you might conclude I have a tin-foil hat conspiracy theory for those scoundrels behind the Federal Reserve and TGFE convincing us to go shopping for useless toxic “stuff”.
But to suppose a conspiracy to environmentally damage and pollute the planet taking into consideration, national, international, state, regional and local governments then adjusting for the intricacies of population diversity, mentality and attitudes with all its inimitable contrivances, that an ecocide conspiracy could have been orchestrated by TGFE, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.
THE GULF OIL SPILL: A Matter Of National Security?
Dr. Tom Termotto
Why does the US Federal Government continue to allow British Petroleum (BP), a serial criminal among oil companies, to control the biggest crime scene in American history?!
Why hasn’t the Barack Obama Administration (BOA) simply taken complete control of the situation, moved BP out of the way and capped the well, permanently?! Instead, they have allowed BP to tell the US victims how and when to clean up BP’s very own crime scene (BP is part of the government-empowered unified command structure currently keeping scientists from doing their work in the Gulf and journalists from photographing oil slicks).
INVESTMENT FRAUD: DON’T LET SCAM ARTISTS RUIN YOUR DAY
Bryan Sayers
As if sour news in the Gulf and about the economy were not enough, the advent of the summer travel season also brings with it the latest renditions of con artist schemes designed to ruin your day. For those of you who have managed to save in these tough times, you must be doubly aware of the potential for investment fraud. The FBI ascribes over $400 billion in annual losses to this criminal activity alone, and this figure does not include legitimate promotions that trick you into buying overpriced items as if they were valuable collectibles.
Updating Lynne Stewart's "Love Struggle:" Part II
by Stephen Lendman
Human rights attorney Stewart spent her career observing the American Bar Association's Model Rules, saying all lawyers must:
"devote professional time and resources and use civil influence to ensure equal access to our system of justice for all those who because of economic or social barriers cannot afford or secure adequate legal counsel."
Also to practice law ethically, morally and responsibly to assure everyone gets due process and judicial fairness, what the poor, underprivileged, society's unwanted rarely ever are afforded unless lucky enough to have an advocate like her. What failed her after being bogusly indicted, prosecuted, convicted, and jailed, awaiting final sentencing in July, perhaps later for reasons of health. More on that below.
