Bait-and-Switch on Stop-and-Frisk By Jim Naureckas

Larry Summers and the Secret “End-Game” Memo By Greg Palast
The Memo confirmed every conspiracy freak’s fantasy: that in the late 1990s, the top US Treasury officials secretly conspired with a small cabal of banker big-shots to rip apart financial regulation across the planet.

Egypt’s Junta Has Nothing to Lose By Melkulangara BHADRAKUMAR
The appointment of Robert Ford as the new American ambassador to Egypt was indeed an ominous sign that the Obama administration expected civil war conditions to arise in Egypt.

U.S. Maintains Aid for Contractors in Egypt, Despite Massacre By Pratap Chatterjee
Six weeks ago, the Egyptian army toppled the elected government of Mohammed Morsi in a coup, which automatically disqualifies the country for aid under U.S. law.

Screaming in Bradley Manning’s Trial By David Swanson
I don’t blame Bradley Manning for apologizing for his actions and effectively begging for the court’s mercy. He’s on trial in a system rigged against him.

It is interesting that until recently, all the major initiatives to investigate the illegal and criminal activities of banks came from Washington. A certain amount of activity has also been witnessed in London, which (oh, the horror!) has started to prosecute Rothschild banks. Some experts are seeing this kind of “unpatriotic” position from the British… Continue reading

The Obama Regime’s Fabricated “Terror Conspiracy” in Defense of the Police State By Prof. James Petras
Representative democracies and autocratic dictatorships respond to profound internal crises in very distinctive ways: the former attempts to reason with citizens, explaining the causes, consequences and alternatives; dictatorships attempt to terrorize, intimidate and distract the public by evoking bogus external threats, to perpetuate and justify rule by police state methods and avoid facing up to… Continue reading

In a press conference Obama described the Russian President as having a “slouch…looking like that bored schoolboy in the back of the classroom.” Yet behind the childish form of the latest White House refusal to meet President Putin before the G-20 St. Petersburg Summit is a grim reality Continue reading

On June 6, 2013 “Operation Urban Shield Boston” published videos via its YouTube Channel highlighting the so-named 2011 and 2012 law enforcement and emergency response drills that bore a remarkable resemblance to the April 15, 2013 Boston Marathon bombing allegedly carried out by Tamarlan and Dzokhar Tsarnaev.
