Can Jill Carry Bernie’s Baton? A Look at the Green Candidate’s Radical Funding Solution
Ellen Brown
Bernie Sanders supporters are flocking to Jill Stein, the presumptive Green Party presidential candidate, with donations to her campaign exploding nearly 1000% after he endorsed Hillary Clinton. Stein salutes Sanders for the progressive populist movement he began and says it is up to her to carry the baton. Can she do it? Critics say her radical policies will not hold up to scrutiny. But supporters say they are just the medicine the economy needs.
Stein goes even further than Sanders on several key issues, and one of them is her economic platform. She has proposed a “Power to the People Plan” that guarantees basic economic human rights, including access to food, water, housing, and utilities; living-wage jobs for every American who needs to work; an improved “Medicare for All” single-payer public health insurance program; tuition-free public education through university level; and the abolition of student debt. She also supports the reinstatement of Glass-Steagall, separating depository banking from speculative investment banking; the breakup of megabanks into smaller banks; federal postal banks to service the unbanked and under-banked; and the formation of publicly-owned banks at the state and local level.
President-Elect Clinton: The Three Scariest Words You’ll Ever Hear
Stephen Lendman
Disturbing signs point to a rigged November election to install Hillary as Obama’s successor - stealing the nation’s highest office, not winning it fair and square.
Given the power of money, influence, and scandalous one-sided media reporting, it’s hard imagining how it can be stopped.
It appears the fix was in from the onset of the political process last year. The train left the station with Hillary alone aboard - destination the White House, blackened with her in charge, along with husband Bill as co-president for a third term, a duo only Wall Street, war profiteers and other corporate predators could love.
Sanders was never a serious candidate. He played the role of loyal opposition, enjoying his extended 15 minutes of fame, a huckster throughout his deplorable political career - saying one thing, doing another.
NYT Calls Nominating Killary What Democracy Looks Like
Stephen Lendman
From inception, the New York Times was always an establishment broadsheet. Now it’s more a laughing stock.
It’s an unabashed agent for wealth, power and privilege, a supporter of imperial wars killing millions, a Wall street tool - now acting as Killary’s press agent, entirely abandoning journalistic ethics and professional integrity
Democracy in America is pure fantasy. None whatever exists. Voters have no say over who’ll lead them. Not according to The Times, disgracefully calling a rigged electoral process for Killary “what democracy looks like.”
Can anyone ever again take anything it publishes seriously? The self-styled “newspaper of record” entirely abandoned legitimate reporting and analysis, substituting all propaganda, all the time, its soul for sale to the highest bidder - wanting the world made safe for monied interests, everyone else be damned.
Trump Critics Enter the Twilight Zone, Claiming He’s a Manchurian Candidate for Putin
Stephen Lendman
US establishment figures are so hellbent for Hillary, they’re reaching new lows to make her America’s 45th president - a legally challenged, trigger-happy Wall Street tool she-devil perhaps eager for global war.
Trump is no solution to changing America’s deplorable state. Compared to Clinton, he’s the lesser of two malign forces.
With no public track record, he’s judged by his rhetoric alone, along with knowing all politicians and wannabe ones lie. Nothing they say is credible. Judge them by their actions alone.
Clinton’s notorious history is abominable, DNC party bosses and complicit media scoundrels suppressing what’s too scandalous and criminal to ignore.

Why would (Ras) Putin target a sure loser like Trump?
Michael Collins
Former CIA director Michael Morrell claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin controls Donald Trump’s mind.
The new McCarthyism was born when Wikileaks revealed the truth about the leaders of the Democratic Party. The leaked emails showed that the vile Democratic National Committee boss Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her crew of foul-mouthed punks perpetrated election fraud by rigging the Democratic primaries for Hillary Clinton. (Image: Dennis Jarvis)
What a way to kick off convention week. The next step in the story was the obvious question. Who was Debbie working for? We all know the answer. Debbie worked for Hillary. But that question was never asked in earnest and it was certainly not answered.
The ever-vigilant Clinton machine knew the score. If Hilary’s tied to Debbie, we’re completely screwed. Those Sanders true believers will Kirk out nonstop for the rest of the convention.
Clinton campaign head Robby Mook rushed to the media with an outrageous claim that the Russians hacked the DNC email server to aid the Trump campaign. This was a desperate attempt to divert public attention from the inevitable conclusion that Hillary Clinton is a total slime ball, Bill without the charm.
Fascist Tyranny Runs America
Stephen Lendman
From the neoliberal 90s through near-16 painful Bush/Obama neocon years, tyranny became hard-wired in America - a hair’s breadth from full-blown.
It’s virtually sure to emerge this way if Hillary becomes America’s 45th president - a mentally unstable neocon lunatic, itching for imperial world conquest and dominance, perhaps willing to wage global war with nuclear weapons to achieve her megalomaniacal aims.
Media scoundrels suppress her dark side, the immense danger she represents, the urgency of preventing her ascendency to power. Instead they try reinventing her into something she’s not, downplaying or ignoring mass national revulsion about a woman too irreparably tainted to be rehabilitated.
US Cyberwar on Russia?
Stephen Lendman
On Saturday, Tass reported what looks like Washington’s dirty handiwork, perhaps complicit with NATO and Israel, saying:
Russia’s “Federal Security Service (FSB) revealed virus software for cyber-spying in computer networks of about 20 organizations located in Russia.”
The attack targeted “information resources of the state authorities, scientific and defense companies, enterprises of the defense industry and other objects of the country’s critically important infrastructures.”
“(C)learly, it was a targeted virus spread, planned and made professionally. Specialists say the malicious software, judging by the style of programming, names of files, parameters of their use and by methods, is similar to the software, which was used in much-spoken-about earlier revealed cyber-spying, revealed both in territory of the Russian Federation and around the globe.”
Rebranding US-Supported Jabhat Al-Nusra Terrorist Group
Stephen Lendman
Virtually all significant terrorist groups ravaging the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere are US creations - its mercenary death squad army, doing America’s killing and dying for it.
No moderate rebels exist, in Syria or in any other US war theater. They’re all cutthroat killers, indifferent to human life and welfare.
Jabhat al-Nusra (aka Nusra Front) is Al Qaeda in Syria, renamed Jabhat Fatah al Sham, claiming “no affiliation to any external entity.”
What does rebranding accomplish? Will it shield the group from Syria and Russia attacking its forces? Hopefully not.
Haaretz for Hillary
Stephen Lendman
Israel’s well-known broadsheet increasingly resembles the worst of New York Times reporting.
It shamelessly supports Hillary the way it backed Obama earlier, ignoring their high crimes instead of denouncing them - like it fails to condemn rogue Israeli policies, its lawless apartheid rule, its ruthless Anglo/Zionist agenda and wars at its discretion.
Last March, it called Hillary “by far the best known commodity on either side of the US presidential primaries…a liberal (sic) interventionist of the old school,” adding:
She’s “the only candidate (for) decapitati(ng) a dictator (sic),” meaning any independent leader Washington opposes - a policy Haaretz supports regardless of how in violation of fundamental international law.
