April 2016The Return of the Coup in Latin AmericaPosted: Tuesday, April 26, 2016 Classified Pages From 9/11 Report Could Be Released by Summer The top intelligence official in the United States said on Monday that a review to declassify 28 pages of material in a Sept. 11 report, which families of victims and some lawmakers are demanding be made public, could be completed by June. The US Should Quit Coddling Badly-Behaving Saudi Arabia The classified '28 pages': A diversion from real US-Saudi issues The controversy surrounding the infamous "28 pages" on the possible Saudi connection with the terrorists that were excised from the joint Congressional report on the 9/11 attacks is at fever pitch. But that controversy is a distraction from the real problems that Saudi Arabia's policies pose to the United States and the entire Middle East region. Obama: Sending Ground Troops to Syria Proves Fighting ISIS a Priority Kurds Urge US to Also Provide Them With More Weapons Syria - Russia Rejects Kerry's New Attempts To Shield The Terrorists The U.S. admits that the upcoming Aleppo offensive by the Syrian government and its allies is designed to hit al-Qaeda and associated terrorist forces and not primarily the "moderate" unicorns the U.S. propaganda blushes about. But the openly U.S. supported forces will also be hit as they are very much integrated with al-Qaeda. In Israel, an ugly tide sweeps over Palestinians In Israel's evermore tribal politics, there is no such thing as a "good" Arab – and the worst failing in a Jew is to be unmasked as an "Arab lover". Or so was the message last week from Isaac Herzog, head of Israel's so-called peace camp. 'I was expendable': how UC Berkeley failed a woman being sexually harassed University provost who resigned amid scandal expresses ‘regrets' over handling of Tyann Sorrell's case, who says she was denied basic protections Censored, Surveilled, Watch Listed and Jailed: The Absurdity of Being a Citizen in the American Police State The Empire of Chaos Strikes Back Soon after the impeachment motion against President Dilma Rousseff was approved in the Brazilian Congress by what I chose to call Hybrid War hyenas, President-in-Waiting Michel «Brutus» Temer, one of the coup's articulators, dispatched a senator to Washington as special paperboy to deliver the news on the coup in progress. The senator in question was not on an official mission for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The Return of the Coup in Latin America Venezuela and Brazil are the scenes of a new form of coup d'état that would set the continent's political calendar back to its worst times. Meanwhile, in Argentina, the brutal model for the demolition of democracy is set forward by the continental oligarchic right and the hegemonic forces of US imperialism who wish to impose their model in the region. Swiss Envoy Summoned over US Seizure of Iran's Assets The Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned Swiss Ambassador to Tehran Giulio Hass in protest at the recent ruling by the US Supreme Court which authorized the transfer of $2 billion of Tehran's frozen assets to the families of the victims of a 1983 bombing in Beirut. Swiss banker whistleblower: CIA behind Panama Papers Posted: Tuesday, April 12, 2016 Adidas posts offensive caricature of Dwayne Bravo OMG! DJ Bravo waits for third umpire as sponsor caught playing the Adi-darse Swiss banker whistleblower: CIA behind Panama Papers Panama Papers: global tax officials to launch unprecedented inquiry Investigators from 28 countries to meet in Paris in attempt to develop an international strategy for cracking down on secret offshore holdings On 60 Minutes, A Compelling Case for Releasing 28 Pages on 9/11 The movement to declassify 28 pages on foreign government ties to 9/11 received its highest-profile exposure to date tonight, as 60 Minutes aired a report that featured insights from several former officials who are familiar with what the 28 pages contain—and believe the information should be public. '60 MINUTES': Lawmakers Say Redacted Pages Of 9/11 Report Show Saudi Official Met Hijackers In LA Libya: Obama Admits Clinton's "Greatest Moment" Was His "Worst Mistake" The president's 'classified' double standard coupled with Libya discord underscores rocky support for former secretary of state Brazil impeachment: Vote deals new blow to Rousseff EU to make big firms come clean on tax Plans to force the largest companies to disclose more about their tax affairs will be unveiled by the European Union on Tuesday. The brain on LSD revealed: first scans show how the drug affects the brain Britain's Covert War in Yemen: A VICE News Investigation In a rural valley in southern Yemen lies Wadi Rafad, a collection of farms 50 miles from the provincial capital of Ataq. Amid an arid landscape dotted with lemon orchards and cornfields, villagers were used to the peace being disturbed by the buzzing of US drones flying overhead. But on the afternoon of May 6, 2012, something changed. British Banks Cite Fear of US in Refusing to Do Business With Iran British Trade Envoy Sees US as Big Obstacle to Trade China 'seizes' eight Taiwanese from Kenya Zuckerberg unveils 10-year plan to expand Facebook empire, with political tones Iceland's PM resigns amid fallout from Panama Papers leak Iceland's Prime Minister Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson has resigned after being accused of hiding millions of dollars worth of investments in offshore accounts. First to Fall? Panama Papers Bring Down Iceland PM, Portending Future Fallout 'The greater crime is that we have a secret economy connected to and even supporting some of the worst aspects of the global capitalist system' A Half Truth About the War on Drugs The Panama Papers Posted: Monday, April 4, 2016 The Panama Papers – What Happens When Corruption Is Systemic Over the weekend, an historic release of information came out in the Panama Papers showing exactly who, how, and when a vast network of people stole and hoarded money. Our minds easily grok the realities of Vladimir Putin embezzling a billion dollars through offshore accounts or the Prime Minister of Iceland stealing cash from public coffers. Where we fail more easily is visualizing the system of shell companies, accounting tools, trade regimes, tax havens, and legislative changes that make up the system of wealth extraction all of these individuals are using in collaboration with their partners in crime. Eggs Fly in Iceland as Panama Papers Spark Populist Anger in the Streets Capitalism could face crisis of credibility as leaked documents illuminate global rules rigged for the rich and powerful Brazil Is Engulfed by Ruling Class Corruption — and a Dangerous Subversion of Democracy THE MULTIPLE, REMARKABLE crises consuming Brazil are now garnering substantial Western media attention. That's understandable given that Brazil is the world's fifth most populous country and eighth-largest economy; its second-largest city, Rio de Janeiro, is the host of this year's Summer Olympics. But much of this Western media coverage mimics the propaganda coming from Brazil's homogenized, oligarch-owned, anti-democracy media outlets and, as such, is misleading, inaccurate, and incomplete, particularly when coming from those with little familiarity with the country (there are numerous Brazil-based Western reporters doing outstanding work). Another Western intervention in Libya looms The shaky debut last week of a new unity government in Libya brings Western nations, including the United States, much closer to a renewed military mission there, and to a host of obstacles that will test their ability to secure a country gripped by Islamist extremism and civil war. The Fallacy of ‘Humanitarian' War The new excuse for U.S. imperial wars is "humanitarian" or "liberal" interventionism with Hillary Clinton and other proponents citing noble motives for destroying foreign societies, as ex-CIA official Graham E. Fuller discusses. Russia gives U.S. new ultimatum in Syria cease-fire Russia on Monday warned the United States that it will start responding to cease-fire violations in Syria unilaterally starting Tuesday if the U.S. refuses to coordinate rules of engagement against the violators. Ceasefire Fails to Take Hold, Nagorno-Karabakh Fighting Rages Pro-Armenia Faction Rules Out Truce Unless They Get Territory Back Nusra Front, Syrian rebels attack government forces near Aleppo, gain ground Yemen's President Replaces Prime Minister The Yemeni president has replaced the nation's vice president and the head of the cabinet, Khaled Bahah, citing shortcomings in the government's performance. Iraqi Shiite militias say US troops ‘forces of occupation,' demand withdrawal Iran-backed Shiite militia forces in Iraq have strongly opposed new US troops deployed in the country. The militias warned that if Washington does not withdraw its forces "immediately," they will deal with them "as forces of occupation." Cleaning Up Hillary's Libyan Mess U.S. officials are pushing a dubious new scheme to "unify" a shattered Libya, but the political risk at home is that voters will finally realize Hillary Clinton's responsibility for the mess, writes Robert Parry. State Dept halts review of Clinton emails at FBI request If Hillary Isn't Indicted, the Rule of Law and the Republic Are Dead Israel - Map Censorship What is the difference between a textbook publisher giving into pressure from Christian fundamentalists seeking to censor the teaching of evolution, and a publisher giving in to Zionists seeking to censor awareness of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine? Neither phenomenon is a matter of opinion or perspective. One act of censorship denies facts established by scientific research. The other denies the documented violation of international law (for instance, the Fourth Geneva Convention) and multiple UN resolutions. So the answer to the question just asked is – there is no difference. 11 killed in Saudi aerial attacks on Yemen's Jawf Province Nearly a dozen people have been killed in a series of airstrikes carried out by Saudi warplanes in Yemen's Jawf Province, local media say. Castro government welcomes Obama, US corporate heads to Cuba President Barack Obama traveled to Cuba on Sunday, leading an enormous US delegation that has been reported as comprising as many as 1,200 people, large enough to be described with some justification as an invading force of American politicians and corporate executives. Behind the Crimea/Russia Reunion Official Washington marches in propaganda lockstep about Crimea's decision to rejoin Russia two years ago, with references to a Russian "invasion" and a "sham" referendum of Crimea's voters, but the reality is different, says ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
