NYT Praises Obama’s Phony War on Terror, Lauds Clinton, Blasts Trump
Stephen Lendman
NYT editors never let facts interfere with their worldview, consistently misinforming readers, willfully lying.
On Tuesday, they ignored Obama’s imperial madness, his high crimes against peace, his rage for wars, waging them in multiple theaters, using ISIS and other terrorist groups as US foot soldiers.
Instead they praised what demands universal condemnation and accountability, saying in a Tuesday speech, Obama “listed the ways in which his administration has worked to subdue the threat of terrorism abroad and home” - at the same time denouncing what he called Trump’s “dangerous” mindset.
Pentagon Hypes Nonexistent Russian Threat
Stephen Lendman
Today is the worst of times. Reckless US fear-mongering persists. No Russian threat exists. Claims otherwise are fabricated - a hoax proliferated by irresponsible media scoundrels, paid to lie, trashing journalistic ethics.
Putin gets no credit for being the world’s preeminent peacemaker - polar opposite Obama, Hillary Clinton and other neocons infesting Washington.
US Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia Michael Carpenter hyped fear irresponsibly, ludicrously suggesting Russia can overrun Baltic states Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia in 60 hours.
He cited a months earlier RAND Corporation report, the organization a largely Pentagon funded military think tank, paid to produce material serving US imperial interests.
Obama Escalates Afghan War
Stephen Lendman
Disturbing but true! Nearly 15 years of US naked aggression on Afghanistan aren’t enough, America’s longest war, raging endlessly.
Obama authorized escalated US involvement - on the phony pretext of aiding Afghan forces. How far he intends going remains to be seen, waging wars in multiple theaters - endless conflicts, trillions of dollars diverted from vital homeland needs.
An unnamed senior US defense official said airstrikes will be escalated - stopping short of explaining the Afghan war was lost years ago, a grand illusion believing otherwise.
Duopoly Power Candidates on BDS v. Green Party’s Jill Stein
Stephen Lendman
Increasing BDS influence is the single most effective tool for confronting longstanding Israeli contempt for Palestinian rights.
Neocons infesting Washington, state capitals and municipal governments want it banned - a flagrant First Amendment violation if enacted into law or enforced by gubernatorial executive order diktat, the extrajudicial way NY governor Andrew Cuomo operates.
Duopoly power presidential aspirants one-sidedly support Israel. Bernie Sanders’ House and Senate voting records show his rhetoric belies his agenda. Addressing AIPAC last March in written form, he committed America “not just to guaranteeing (Israel’s survival), but also to its people’s right to live in peace and security.”
Its only enemies are ones it invents. It’s the region’s leading menace, an apartheid state worse than South Africa’s.
Clinton at War with Islam She Claims She Won’t Demonize
Stephen Lendman
As first lady, US senator and secretary of state, Clinton waged unrestrained war on Islam, a ruthless agenda she’ll likely escalate if elected to succeed Obama.
In the 1990s, she supported husband Bill’s intermittent war and genocidal sanctions on Iraq, killing around 500,000 children, about 5,000 under aged five monthly;
As US senator, she backed George W. Bush’s naked aggression on Afghanistan and Iraq, causing millions of deaths.
As secretary of state, she bore full responsibility for war on Libya, responsible for ravaging and destroying Africa’s most developed country, turning it into an endless cauldron of violence, chaos and human misery.
Democrats Need a Conscience to Close Morality Gap with Republicans
Michael Collins
There’s a morality gap between Democrats and Republicans with the Democrats lagging far behind. The Republican National Convention rules committee will consider a conscience clause allowing committed delegates to change their vote on the convention’s first ballot. This could unseat the morally challenged presumed nominee Donald Trump. Democrats have no such clause to deal with the flagrant lack of morality displayed by nominee Hillary Clinton during her time as Untied States Senator and Secretary of State. (Image: Alex Gorzen)
Donald Trump received 14 million votes in Republican primaries translating to more than 1500 delegates pledged to vote for him on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention. The delegate total is 250 more than required for nomination. Trump wins, right? Maybe not.
Utah convention delegate Kendall Unruh is proposing a change in convention rules to allow delegates to change their pledged votes if that vote violates their conscience, “the guide to the rightness or wrongness of one’s behavior” that constitutes morality. Her version of the rule change is clear:

Markos Moulitsas Is a Fake, His DailyKos a Fraud
Eric Zuesse
Markos Moulitsas is a CIA asset whose service to the organization, certainly after he started his popular Democratic-Party propaganda-site “Daily Kos” in 2002, has been to shape the minds not of real progressives but of liberal fools (suckers such as this, a person who believed the lies of — and supported — Hillary Clinton against Bernie Sanders) in order to boost the candidates whom the U.S. aristocracy’s Democratic-Party contingent (which comprises around 25% of the U.S. aristocracy) want to be elected in Democratic Party primaries, to run against the Republican nominee, so that regardless of which of the two Parties wins, the aristocracy remains in charge of the U.S. Government. (This function, of manipulating Democratic Party primaries, is important in order to maintain the U.S. aristocracy’s control over the Democratic Party, and not only over the Republican Party — over which they’ve long had a total lock-hold.)
War Party Leader Obama Endorses War Goddess Clinton
Stephen Lendman
Obama, Clinton and bipartisan neocons infesting Washington explain the deplorable state of America today - a democracy in name only, enriching the privileged few at the expense of most others, waging endless wars on humanity, leaving its fate up for grabs.
Clinton was chosen Democrat party nominee last year before primary/caucus season began, assuring endless wars of aggression if elected, perhaps the madness of confronting Russia and China belligerently.
The possibility of her succeeding Obama should terrify everyone, heightening the risk of global war with super-weapons making WW II ones look like toys by comparison.
Saudis Reportedly Funding 20% of Clinton’s Presidential Campaign
Stephen Lendman
Deep pockets buy enormous influence, Saudi ones among the deepest - used for fostering and proliferating state terrorism along with committing other high crimes.
According to a Middle East Eye (MEE) report, citing Jordan’s official Petra News Agency (PNA), based on comments attributable to Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, Riyadh is providing “20 percent of the total funding to the prospective Democratic (sic) candidate’s campaign.”
Saudis also donate generously to the Clinton Foundation, a racketeering operation masquerading as a charitable NGO, accepting tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments, organizations and individuals, benefitting greatly by selling influence.
US law prohibits foreign interests from funding US elections at the federal, state and local levels. Yet it’s done anyway covertly through shell companies and other devious means.
Mourning for Orlando: What About for Millions of Imperial Victims
Stephen Lendman
First some important points. Paul Craig Roberts and several of my readers pointed out the absence of video and other credible evidence, no proof showing dead bodies from Sunday’s Orlando incident. Was it staged, not real?
With 49 reported dead (plus the alleged shooter) and over 50 wounded, where’s the casualty count proof? Why hasn’t there been widespread coverage of the implausibility of a lone gunman attack?
Orlando resembles Sandy Hook (December 14, 2012). Professor James Tracy conducted exhaustive, independent research into what happened.
