Hatemongering Israeli Defense Minister Denigrates Palestine’s Poet Laureate
Stephen Lendman
Neocon lunatics run Israel, a crowd similar to America’s ruling authority under either right wing of its duopoly government.
Ultranationalist, hatemongering Israeli defense minister/former foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman is an embarrassment to legitimate governance. In Israel, he holds high office, an Arab-hating gangster with his finger on his nation’s nuclear trigger.
On Israeli Army Radio, he compared revered Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish (1941 - 2008) with “glorification of the literary marvels of Adolph Hitler’s Mein Kamph” - a shocking perversion of truth, typical of how Lieberman and likeminded Israeli extremists operate.
Deconstructing Trump’s Acceptance Speech
Stephen Lendman
Claiming he “alone” can fix America’s ills, Trump displayed more bombast than charisma and forthrightness in accepting his party’s presidential nomination.
He’s part of the problem, not its solution. Politics in America serves its privileged class alone, harming most others, inflicting a devastating toll on humanity.
Positive change won’t follow no matter who succeeds Obama. Expect more of the same and likely worse.
Longstanding US policy reflects imperialism run amuck, duopoly war party politics running things, each wing following the same script, differing only in rhetoric and style.
Hillary’s Deplorable VP Choice
Stephen Lendman
Neither wing of America’s duopoly system has acceptable choices for any public office.
The horror of Clinton and Trump as standard bearers for their parties shows a debauched system too irreparable to fix. Their VP choices provide further evidence.
Trump running mate Mike Pence is a neocon Tea Party hardliner, an imperial war cheerleader, an evangelical supporter of Israel’s worst crimes, an anti-progressive. Clinton’s VP choice, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, is cut from the same mold - pro-war, pro-Wall Street, pro-corporate favoritism, pro-neoliberal harshness, pro-regressive trade deals like TPP, anti-labor rights, pro-serving wealth and power interests at the expense of most others.
Electoral Calculus Points to a Trump Landslide Victory
Posted on July 29, 2016 by State of the Nation
Clinton Can Only ‘Win’ By Stealing The Election
No matter how you slice and dice the electoral vote or the popular vote, Donald Trump is destined for an unprecedented landslide victory.
Trump will beat Clinton by ‘landslide proportions’
Shock poll: Nate Silver’s election forecast now has Trump winning
The following voting bloc analysis is really just common sense. However, the mainstream media will do everything in its power to distract the electorate from the obvious. Why is that?
Because the only way that Hillary Clinton can win this election is by outright theft and LOTs of election fraud. That is the only way for her to win—illegally.
VIDEO: Hillary Clinton Is Openly Stealing The Election
Here are the major voting demographics:
First, not a single Republican or Conservative or Tea Partier or Right Winger or Christian will vote for Clinton. Yes, there will be a few who will go and accidentally “pull the wrong lever”, but this massive voting block, to the extent that they show up at the polls, will vote overwhelmingly for Trump.
The middle ground occupied by the Independents will vote Trump. Yes, a few will momentarily lose consciousness and accidentally vote Clinton, but the vast majority will vote for Trump.
The Berniacs, who were profoundly betrayed by the campaign fraud known as Bernie Sanders, are pissed. Extremely pissed! They will not vote for Clinton for numerous and obvious reasons. Many will not vote because of the naked betrayal they suffered at the hands of Sanders. However, the vast majority who do vote will unanimously vote for Donald Trump. He is a truly populist candidate just like the Bern pretended to be. The Berniacs represent a huge voting bloc that Clinton & Company majorly disrespected.
As for the Democratic side, the true liberals, real progressives, ultra-leftwingers and dyed-in-the-wool Democrats will not vote for Clinton. They will, by and large, stay home on election day. Those who are genuine old-school Democrats and principled citizens will not bring themselves to vote for an incorrigible warmonger, career criminal and pathological liar. None of them wants to be associated with a criminally insane psychopath.
Democrats Try Changing the Subject to Distract from Internal Dissension
Stephen Lendman
Republicans were touted as the divided party this year. It looks almost unified compared to dissension in Democrat ranks.
Hillary’s impending Tuesday night nomination created a firestorm of anger among Sanders’ delegates, along with rage over his sellout to what he campaigned against - proving he’s as dirty as all the rest.
Monday inside and outside Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center was raucous and unruly - anti-Clinton delegates and tens of thousands in the streets protesting against her.
If this keep up throughout the convention, she’ll be greater damaged goods than already - unable to unify a a deeply divided party. What better strategy than to change the subject. What better target than Putin. He’s blamed for practically everything short of Philadelphia’s scorching heat.
A Romanian hacker with no connection to Russia, using the name Guccifer 2.0, hacked into a treasure trove of DNC emails, showing now defrocked former chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz rigged enough primaries and caucuses to assure Hillary’s nomination - handing the incriminating evidence to WikiLeaks for publication.
Turkey’s Erdogan Running Wild, Geopolitics in Play
Stephen Lendman
Wannabe sultan Erdogan’s policies aren’t pretty. His reign of terror continues into its eighth day, likely lots more purging ahead.
What’s unfolding followed what looked like a stage-managed sham military uprising - sloppy, inept and stillborn when initiated, Erdogan never in danger of being toppled.
Citing “Turkish and foreign intelligence sources inside Turkey,” investigative journalist Wayne Madsen called the July 15 uprising a “ ‘false flag’ coup…limited by Erdogan’s design from the start.”
“The coup attempt was a standard ‘fly paper’ operation,” used to flush out opposition elements, seeing which ones stick, eliminating them as a threat to his absolute rule.
He’s taken full advantage, using the events of July 15 to eliminate potential challenges - cleaning house, targeting tens of thousands.
NYT Obscene Pro-Clintonism, Anti-Trumpism
Stephen Lendman
Times editors reinvented war goddess/Wall Street tool Clinton into a mythical US presidential candidate of unparalleled stature, ignoring her high crimes - while bashing Trump relentlessly.
He’s a billionaire tycoon businessman with no public service record. As me-first lady, US senator and secretary of state, Clinton’s rap sheet warrants condemnation, not praise, prosecution and imprisonment, not high office.
Times editors papered it over, saying she supports “America’s (important) role in the world…hewed to (Obama’s) policies (while being) somewhat more willing to intervene militarily.”
“She was an early supporter of arming and training Syrian rebels fighting (Assad)…called for a no-fly zone to protect Syrian civilians…was a strong supporter of” ousting Gaddafi. She “believes…in diplomacy backed by military sanctions…helped put in place tough…sanctions on Iran,” supports using NATO “in addressing terrorism from ISIS and other groups.”
Fact: All ongoing US wars are illegal, waged without Security Council authorization. Clinton fully backs what demands denunciation.
Fact: She abhors diplomacy, wars of aggression against nonbelligerent states her strategy of choice.
Polarization and the Powder Keg
James Petras
Introduction
The constitutional order of the US, such as it exists, faces a profound crisis of legitimacy, rooted in the multi polarity of US society. The US is divided among (1) a deeply entrenched police – judicial – presidential state against civil society organized in community based Afro-American, Hispanic and disinherited workers; (2) a corrupt Federal police, Justice , State Department and Presidential Office against a constitutional legal system upheld by the vast majority of citizens; and (3) a rigged Presidential electoral system against the consent and approval of the majority of the electorate.
The divisions in US society go far beyond the ‘opinions’ expressed in polls and surveys.
The polarization has found expression in mass street protests, ‘rejectionist’ votes and violent assaults. Are they heading toward a national uprising? Public officials describe the situation as ‘a powder keg on the verge of exploding’.
Russia’s Lavrov Blasts West
Stephen Lendman
Noted for his unmatched world-class diplomacy and seemingly infinite patience in dealing with intractable issues, Lavrov was uncharacteristically blunt in calling the West (meaning America mostly) “a bull in a china shop.”
Perhaps venting frustration over dealing with Washington and its European colonies in trying to resolve major geopolitical issues, he called what’s happening in the Middle East and North Africa “the direct result of a very incompetent and unprofessional attitude to the situation.”
Russia Bombs Secret US/UK Base in Syria
Stephen Lendman
US, NATO and regional rogue state operations in Syria flagrantly breach international law - waging war on a nonbelligerent country without Security Council authorization.
Russia alone among major powers operates legally, invited by Damascus to intervene in combatting terrorism.
America and rogue allies aid and abet what they claim to oppose - systematically raping and destroying Syria, massacring its people, displacing half the population internally or abroad.
According to the Wall Street Journal, “Russian aircraft bombed a remote garrison in southeastern Syria (in June) - a secret base of operations for elite American and British forces.” They were outside the facility when attacked, followed by a second one on a CIA-linked site.
