Reinvented Scoundrel Media History
by Stephen Lendman
New York Times editors do it numerous ways. At times in their "Room for Debate" series. Featuring mostly one-sided views.
Crowding out truth and full disclosure. Overwhelming it with Big Lies. On October 17, they headlined "Should Nations Recognize a Palestinian State?
Six views were presented. More on them below. An earlier article said the following:
Debating is an ancient tradition. Socrates and Plato debated political, social, and other issues. The Socratic method involves opposing sides asking and answering questions.
Ideas are freely aired. Beliefs are challenged. Truths are sought. Critical thinking is stimulated.
Opinions are formed. Conclusions are reached through free and open dialogue and discussion.
Attorney Stanley L. Cohen: Guilty of Doing His Job Honorably
by Stephen Lendman
He's a criminal defense attorney/political activist par excellence. Wrongfully indicted on bogus charges.
Guilty of defending wrong clients. Ones prosecutors wanted convicted. More on this below.
America's criminal justice system is corrupted. Broken. Systematically unfair. Infested with political hacks.
Solely supporting wealth, power and privilege. Prosecutors take full advantage.
Innocence is no defense. Guilt by accusation is official policy. The American Bar Association's (ABA) Model Code of Judicial Conduct doesn't matter. Its preamble calls for:
"An independent, fair and impartial judiciary." It's "indispensable to our system of justice." It's composed of "men and women of integrity.
Fear-Mongering Ahead of Another US False Flag? (Part II)
by Stephen Lendman
Dick Cheney is an unindicted war criminal. He's guilty of genocidal high crimes against peace.
He predicts another mass casualty event on US soil. Much worse than 9/11. More on what he said below.
Fear-mongering is a longstanding US tactic. False flags are an American tradition.
Both schemes usually precede premeditated war plans. They're used to wage war on freedom.
Quash human rights. Eliminate civil liberties. Replace them with police state harshness.
Uniting to Transform, Policing The Post-Michael Brown Agenda Provides Goals For The Movement To End Racist, Militarized Policing
Kevin Zeese
And, Actions We Need to be Taking Today to Make Transformation a Reality
Throughout the nation the issue of police brutality, including killings of unarmed people, is a common problem. It is part of a criminal enforcement system that has pitted police against people in ways that are very destructive to the fabric of the nation. DOJ is taking or has taken action involving three dozen law enforcement agencies during the Obama era.
To turn this moment of awareness and activism into an effective movement, we need an agenda to transform policing so police play a constructive role in the community. At the inspiring Ferguson October actions, protesters put forward a list of demands that provide an agenda for a movement to fix policing in America, including:
1: Body cameras on all police.
2: Empowered civilian review boards.
3: Independent review of fatalities.
4: End of military surplus going to police.
Deconstructing John Kerry's Big Lies
by Stephen Lendman
Kerry disgraces the office he holds. He's an unindicted war criminal. He represents America's dark side. Its consummate evil.
Big Lies infest his rhetoric. He's been caught red-handed numerous times.
He disdains rule of law principles. He supports war. He deplores peace. He's indifferent to human suffering.
He's a monument to wrong over right. He mocks legitimacy. He's a world-class thug.
DON’T LET OBAMA’S LIES ABOUT EBOLA KILL YOU
by larouchepac.com
“If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full.” – Bertrand Russell, 1951
“In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation.” – Queen Elizabeth’s consort Prince Philip, 1988
Today, as the Ebola pandemic ravages West Africa, the horrible fantasies of the British imperial genocidalists are fast becoming a reality and it is a reality that could have been avoided. In the early 1970s, American statesman and economist Lyndon LaRouche warned that the economic policies imposed on Africa and the developing sector threatened to create a lush environment for the creation of pandemics that would not only devastate Africa, but would spread throughout the world. But those genocidal policies have remained in place for almost 50 years now and all of mankind is likely to suffer the result.
Israel's Rogue Agenda
by Stephen Lendman
"Israeli soldiers murdered 13-year old Bahaa Samir Badir in cold blood."
Israel is a regional replica of rogue state America. Both countries operate lawlessly. Ruthlessly.
They partner in crime. They wage it on defenseless adversaries. For unchallenged control.
For resources they want pillaged. People they want exploited. No matter the human cost involved.
Imperial objectives alone matter. So does making the world safe for monied interests. Bankers. War profiteers. Other corporate crooks. Government extremists complicit with them.
Benefitting from mass slaughter and destruction. High crimes against peace. Killing Palestinian children for target practice.
2008 Redux?
by Stephen Lendman
Headlines aren't reassuring. They're unnerving. Today's Wall Street Journal headlined "Stocks Swoon in Frenzied Trading."
"Dow Slides More than 450 Points Before Climbing; Treasury Yields Touch 16-Month Low." Doing so shows low growth expectations. Maybe heading for decline.
Economist John Williams calls GDP guesstimates "the most worthless of economic series." They over-estimate growth. They show it in times of decline.On Thursday, the Financial Times headlined "US and European stocks resume slide." Wednesday's Dow "had its biggest intraday fall for three years." The headlined story was rewritten after Thursday volatility helped stocks rebound. Things can turn on a dime and head valuations lower.
Sentiment is weak. Thursday's Dow opened down 175 points. Volatility defines things. At times extreme.
E-minis are futures contracts. They represent a portion of standard futures values.
Global Humanity in Search of Peace, Not War
Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD.
We, as Americans, need to ask ourselves what all this is about? Why is our government so provocative toward Islam, Russia, China, Iran? What purpose, whose purpose is being served? Certainly not ours…………Where do we go from here? If not to nuclear destruction, Americans must wake up. Football games, porn, and shopping malls are one thing. Survival of human life is another. Washington, that is, “representative government,” consists only of a few powerful vested interests. These private interests, not the American people, control the US government. That is why nothing that the US government does benefits the American people. (Paul Craig Roberts (“The Next War on Washington’s Agenda.”
International Governance Lacks Moral and Intellectual Leadership
The UNO originated from the belief and commitment to avert futuristic wars by men of new ideas pursuing peaceful means, diplomacy and accountability to the global mankind. How sad and cynical it looks to view the succeeding generations entrapped again into the same mindset of warmongering and power politics as were the sadistic leaders before. The UNO and its major organs responsible for global peace and security have proven to be ceremonial debating clubs and acting contrary to the essence and purposes of the Charter. The global humanity feels tormenting pains and wants to foresee systematic change and development of a new global organization responsible to the global community, not the abstract Nation States. Like the past, once again few Western egoistic leaders have manipulated the time and opportunities to dictate and undermine the interests of the mankind. The global humanity is the net object of all their deliberations but without any meaningful role in challenging the few global warlords. America and few Europeans find freehand to go anywhere and bomb the humanity at will. This is what exactly happening in Iraq-Syria war theatre of the few. The ISIL is picked up for bombing and to match the domestic political agenda and the Badr Shia group and others alike are ignored to appease Iran and its backdoor US alliance against the Sunnis.
Healthcare: A Fundamental Human Right
by Stephen Lendman
Obama's Affordable Care Act (ACA) falls way short of promised benefits. It's outrageously expensive.
A new Congressional Budget Office assessment estimates hundreds of billions of more dollars than Obama claimed. Around $300 billion or more.
It's unaffordable for millions. Double what healthcare costs in other developed nations. Marketplace medicine fails. Often when it's most needed. In America, it's a healthcare rationing system. A scam. A scheme based on ability to pay.
A boon to providers. A ripoff to enrich insurers, drug companies and large hospital chains.
Despite high-minded claims, millions are left uninsured. Millions more way underinsured. Buying insurance is mandated. Otherwise, penalties are enforced.
