Living in America is becoming very difficult for anyone with a moral conscience, a sense of justice, or a lick of intelligence.–Paul Craig Roberts

“The new tyranny is arising in the West, not in Russia and China. The danger to humanity is in the nuclear button briefcase in the Oval Office and in the brainwashed and militant American (sic) population, the most totally disinformed and ignorant people on earth.”

It’s well-worth following what Roberts has to say. He’s one of the most informed thinkers and writers in America.

There is no such thing as neutrality in a military-enforced occupation.

Each year, the western media continues to follow the Israeli narrative slavishly, pushing May 15 as Israel’s Independence Day, an act of “collective amnesia” that ignores the Palestinian commemoration of May 15 as Al-Nakba, the day Palestinians remember the forced expulsion or deaths in 1948, of almost 70% of the Palestinian population living then in what has become the state of Israel.

Meanwhile, Neve Gordon refuses to stand down. He continues to register his witness on the importance of the Nakba, fully aware of how long it took for the Nakba to penetrate the collective consciousness of the Israeli peace community.

A melee ensues after a protester pulls down a NATO banner.

The police presence in the Loop was enormous Friday afternoon, leaving the appearance that there were several officers per protester.

After a downtown rally that peacefully crossed the Loop, NATO protesters joined forces with organized labor Friday night, lending their voices to striking workers at the Congress Plaza Hotel.

More evidence, if you needed any, that these days of demonstrations in Chicago are about more than the NATO Summit. Young people gathered here say they are looking for opportunity and a way forward.

A 36-year-old man from Philadelphia said he and eight others were arrested and detained late Wednesday night after a Chicago police raid at an apartment near 32nd and Morgan.

Darrin Annussek is in town this weekend to participate in the NATO protests. He said he and the eight others were handcuffed to a bench and shackled for 18 hours straight with no communication from police.

He and five others were released Friday without being charged. They were told they were being investigated for felony conspiracy. Three others are still being detained.

CHICAGO (CBS)–Nurses from Chicago and across the country held a contained, peaceful rally Friday at Daley Plaza over the initial concerns of city officials who are hosting this weekend’s NATO summit.

The protest, which drew an estimated 1,000 people, was organized by National Nurses United, which wants NATO to pay more attention to health care needs around the world.

CHICAGO (CBS) – NATO protesters, including Occupy Chicago members, briefly shut down the Michigan Avenue bridge and slowed traffic around the Loop in an impromptu march following a peaceful rally held by a nurse’s union at Daley Plaza this afternoon.

Really funny piece by Pepe Escobar!

So the anthem now goes something like this: C'mon, baby don't you wanna go/back to that same old place/sweet home ring of steel Chicago.

Robert Johnson must be spitting fire in his bluesy grave because the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), for its 25th summit, is occupying Chicago like it was Kabul - with Americans treated as concentric circles of Taliban.

It sounds like a zany remake of John Landis's immortal The Blues Brothers. So what role would US President Barack Obama, the Drone Godfather, play?

One wonders what kind of "common values" are inbuilt in a bogus fight against a ghostly "al-Qaeda" in Afghanistan - which has meant in fact NATO getting its ass kicked for interminable 11 years by hordes of enraged nationalistic Pashtuns with Kalashnikovs and rocket launchers.

A series of events in the last two weeks have set the stage for how surveillance drones will be operated by local law enforcement in the United States and how citizens can demand privacy protections as domestic use escalates. As EFF has previously reported, Congress passed a bill in February mandating the FAA must open national airspace to drones, despite the extensive and unprecedented civil liberties dangers they pose to every American.

The FAA, in new rules announced on Monday, made the authorization procedure easier, stating they have “streamlined the process” for “public agencies”—which includes local law enforcement—to legally operate drones in U.S. skies. We know that dozens of law enforcement agencies already have drones, based on information from EFF’s Freedom of Information Act lawsuit over the FAA’s initial refusal to release the list of authorizations. And one of the biggest cities with a police department on the list was Seattle...

The group will convene at 10 a.m. for music and speeches and at 3 p.m. march to the convention center where the NATO meeting will take place to return the medals, according to the itinerary.

The governor of Vermont has signed a bill that bans hydraulic fracturing as a means to extract gas from underground deposits.

Gov. Peter Shumlin signed the fracking ban into law Wednesday afternoon, making Vermont the first state to ban the practice.

Hydraulic fracturing is the practice of injecting water and chemicals under high pressure into underground shale to release natural gas.

"We don't know that we don't have natural gas in Vermont," Shumlin said. "This bill will ensure we do not inject chemicals into groundwater in a desperate pursuit for energy."

Who is Barack Obama? The question remains contentious, but a new smoking gun piece of evidence makes certain that so-called "birthers" won't be going anywhere.

This is prima facie evidence that the public has been sold on a big lie.

Key US counter terrorism actions in Yemen
Since 2011 US counter terrorism operations in Yemen have been conducted by both the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency. Attacks are aimed at Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and more recently, Ansar al-Sharia.

US activity may also consist of naval bombardments and air strikes, often in conjunction with, or in support of, the Yemen military.

As Yemen came under severe pressure during the Arab Spring and militants seized control of cities and towns in the south, the US significantly stepped up its attacks, most notably with drone strikes.

Although their presence over there is not a secret (since it was announced about 10 years ago and you can see some by simply pointing Google Earth on Djibouti International Airport, as done in this interesting OSGEOINT analysis) what’s still unclear is what eight U.S. F-15Es are currently doing in the Horn of Africa.

They are reportedly serving in support of Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa, as an Expeditionary Squadron of the 380th Expeditionary Operations Group, based at Al Dhafra, in the United Arab Emirates, and responsible for the “war on terror” in the region, but what’s their actual mission remains a (sort-of) mystery.

Even if the American military presence across the world is usually very well advertised, the U.S. keep a low profile on the operations launched by the Air Force’s Strike Eagles from Eastern Africa.

The reason for such prudence maybe that, along with the Reaper drones, even the F-15Es are conducting air strikes in Yemen (and Somalia).

Occupy actions on May Day are tied to the generations-long movement for the eight-hour day, to immigrant workers, to police brutality and repression of the labor movement.

American general strikes, or rather American calls for general strikes, like the one Occupy Los Angeles issued last December that has been endorsed by over 150 general assemblies—are tinged with nostalgia.

Fifty leading U.S. legal scholars cast fresh doubt on the constitutionality of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement in an open letter to the Senate Finance Committee today. (Press Release). At issue is whether the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) had authority to enter into the controversial IP enforcement agreement on behalf of the United States when the Deputy U.S. Trade Ambassador signed ACTA in October 2011.

The law professors say no, and call on the Senators to “exercise your constitutional responsibility to ensure that the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is submitted to the Senate for approval as an Article II treaty, or to the Congress as an ex-post Congressional-Executive Agreement.” ...

After being immersed in the world of alternative economic analysis for several years, it sometimes becomes easy to forget that most people do not track forex markets, or debt to GDP ratio, or true unemployment, or hunch over IMF white-papers highlighting subsections which expose the trappings of the globalist ideology. Sometimes, you just assume the average person knows what the heck you are talking about. This is, of course, a mistake. However, it is a mistake that is borne from the inadequacy of our age and our culture, and is not necessarily a product of weak character, either of the analyst, or the casual reader.

Poor planning by the RCMP, OPP and Toronto police for the G20 summit, along with orders by a Toronto deputy police chief to “take back the streets," are to blame for the more than 1,100 arrests during the 2010 weekend summit, says the province's top civilian police watchdog.

“What occurred over the course of the weekend resulted in the largest mass arrests in Canadian history. These disturbances had a profound impact not only on the citizens of Toronto and Canada generally, but on public confidence in the police as well,” writes Gerry McNeilly, head of the Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD), a citizen agency that today tabled the 300- page systemic review report.

Overall, McNeilly says, the G20 was an unprecedented event in the city’s history — one police forces were unprepared for.

Americans have a choice to uphold justice under the US Constitution, honor unalienable rights, and reject Orwellian unlawful orders that kill in the millions, harm billions, and loot trillions of Americans’ dollars (full documentation here).

This choice is for all Americans, and with focused interest on those serving the 99% in US military and various expressions of law enforcement because they have authority to end the unlawful wars and arrest the 1% criminals.

The two-minute video from Waiting for the Storm makes the point.

The other choice is to obey “emperor has no clothes” obvious unlawful arms to commit egregious crimes, destroy the US Constitution’s rights, and support dictatorial government.

Declassified documents show massive nationwide monitoring, surveillance and information sharing between the DHS and local authorities in response to Occupy.

While there are many new revelations in the latest document release, the most embarrassing revelation is the White House approving the Department Of Homeland Security to lie to the media in response inquiries into the federal governments involvement in the protest crackdown.

The protest group that stormed President Obama’s Chicago campaign headquarters today was founded by a Communist sympathizer recently named by Obama as a “great” reformer.

Obama has ties to several other activists plotting chaos in Chicago this week in the lead up to the NATO summit that starts on Friday.

The protest was reportedly organized by the Catholic Worker Movement, or CWM, founded by the late radical Dorothy Day, a journalist who wrote for Marxist newspapers.

As they say, it's not over 'till it's over. Palestinian prisoners have been mass hunger striking since April 17. Others began earlier. Some haven't eaten for two months or longer.

On May 14, a deal was announced. Egypt negotiated one with the Israel Prison Service (IPS) and striker representatives. Palestine Prisoners Society head Qadura Fares confirmed it. So did Israeli authorities.

Independent verification didn't follow. Nor did full clarification of terms. Israel's adept at creating considerable opt-out wiggle room. Deals aren't always as they seem. Broken ones reveal charades.

Israel offered concessions. Prisoners agreed to terms. Some remain vague. The devil's in the details. What's ahead remains uncertain. Israel's history reflects promises made and broken. Palestinians know well.

France’s unemployment rate has risen to 10 percent, with millions of French citizens looking for work as Europe’s economic crisis shows no sign of letting up.

Nearly three-quarters of Americans and more than two-thirds of Republicans believe federal officials should respect state laws on medical marijuana, a new Mason-Dixon survey of 1,000 likely 2012 general election voters found.

"What the results of this survey show is that there is absolutely no political justification for what President [Barack] Obama is doing with respect to medical marijuana laws," Steve Fox, director of government relations for The Marijuana Policy Project, told HuffPost on Tuesday afternoon. "Across the board ... there is extremely strong support for respecting state medical marijuana laws."

But in their hunger, the strikers are acquiring names. I do not mean names on an obscure website, but ones that appear repeatedly in the daily press and on television, and have wide circulation in the social media. The most prominent name is that of Khader Adnan, a baker and MA student in economics at Birzeit University in the West Bank. Adnan was released from an Israeli jail after 66 excruciating days of hunger strike that commenced on February 21 of this year. He opted for self-starvation to protest what legal jargon calls “administrative detention,” which in this case amounted to abduction by a foreign state that had no legal grounds whatsoever for seizing him.

You will be demonized by the media, who actively falsifies stories to confirm the president's racist message. You will be put in jail. Your life will be ruined.

By their own account, they have, in fact, been covertly exceptional, moral, and legal for more than a decade (minus, of course, the odd black site and torture chamber) – so covertly exceptional, in fact, that they haven’t quite gotten the credit they deserve. Now, they would like to make the latest version of their exceptional mission to the world known to the rest of us. It is finally in our interest, it seems, to be a good deal better informed about America’s covert wars in a year in which the widely announced "covert" killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan is a major selling point in the president’s reelection campaign.

The bank runs that we are watching right now in Greece are shocking, but they are only just the beginning. Since May 6th, nearly one billion dollars has been withdrawn from Greek banks.

Like the Federal Reserve, the IRS was created in 1913. The purpose of the IRS is to enslave citizens by stealing the value of their labor through collecting income taxes.

On average IRS and other tax collectors steal 3.5 months of each Americans’ labor time each year, or one-third of earned income. Of course, many Americans pay much higher tax rates, with a top individual Federal tax bracket of 35%.

“We dance round in a ring and suppose/ But the secret sits in the middle and knows.” – (Robert Frost)

May 14 and 15 are paradoxically days of celebration and catastrophe; victors “dance round in a ring and suppose,” caught in a never ending quest to know if indeed this celebration is for victory or for defeat, while those vanquished understand “the secret that sits in the middle and knows.” Are the secrets Truth that we are afraid to delve into, too ashamed to acknowledge, or fear of a pending Nakba for the victor signaled by a merciful and just God?

A country that is hopelessly enslaved by Jewish money and Jewish power, is not free to report the truth.

America needs to produce politicians who are more honest and less fearful of the wrath of the Jewish lobby (AIPAC).

However, this won’t happen until mainstream America discovers the disastrous role Israel and her agents play in America’s national life.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, California — The local corporate body known as Occupy San Luis Obispo (OSLO) "occupied" the local Earth Day celebration held at El Chorro Regional Park by walking the grounds holding signs and handing out "Occucards" (i.e. informational postcards) which were purchased for the occasion by an OSLO member known as "Dana."

FreeSLO.com found seven of these "Occucards" occupying a portable bathroom unit:

International news outlets report on reports that originated within the alternative media that Minnesota police drugged teens and dropped them at Occupy Protests.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is the GOPs favorite governor for two reasons.

1) He's taken on public sector unions/workers/pensions.

2) He's hated by public sector unions/workers, which means he gets brownie points for being disliked by the right people.

It's just too bad that from an economic standpoint, he's not a good governor.

Menzie Chinn at Econbrowser takes a look at his record on private sector job creation, and it turns out that not only is he well behind his own goals, he's just generally bad at it.

Phoenix, AZ—The Doomsday people are saying that we are about to have a Constitutional crisis and a showdown with the Obama Administration and the turncoats within Homeland Security. Are they really just paranoid and over-reacting?

The frightening signs are there. We have a President that has nullified the Bill of Rights and now has all the powers of Stalin or Hitler should he care to use them. This nation has never been more divided in any of our lifetimes. When was there ever a leader that did not abuse absolute power?
The plan:
Stockpiling non-perishable food, water, batteries, family service radios, medicines, first aid supplies, ammunition and firearms must be part of any plan. Also locating significant defensive armaments in unexpected locations to safeguard from home invasion searches.

Check out the two elderly Canadians supporting these Quebec students protesting increases in tuition fees. First one at the start of the video looks like a WWII vet, the second guy at the end stands up to the cops and gives them a tongue lashing for unnecessary use of violence against the demonstrators.

Monsanto has recently been noted as one of the key power players in the welfare of people across the country, continually extending their influence to the more remote parts of the world as well. Monsanto has also been engineering extensively genetically modified crops for the past several decades, and now finally has a type of soybean crop that can survive sustained pesticide exposure – for maximum insect control of course...

He also had no kind words for presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, the Daily News reported.

"Our guy isn't any good," Johnston said.

So we have reached the point where the proverbial cat is out of the bag. Everyone, with the possible exception of the U.S. Congress, has become aware that there is something terribly wrong with Israel.

In Israel itself, where there is often ferocious debate over the country’s policies, it is time for a reckoning. Does Israel want to become a normal state with correct relationships with its neighbors, including an independent Palestine, or does it want to continue down the road that it is pursuing, which is folly and will lead to ruin?

If General Dempsey really wants to end the war on Islam, he should go to whatever lengths are necessary to expose the truth about 9/11. To that end, he ought to consider a Constitutional Counter-Coup in which all those complicit in 9/11 and its cover-up are suddenly and without warning detained and charged by military courts rather than the neocon-owned federal judiciary.

The neocon cabal of Zionist Christians and Jews behind 9/11 have tried to disguise their war on Islam as a “war on terror.” But occasionally one of them blurts out the truth: “I always thought it was a mistake not to say what Iraq really was, that is, a war against an expanding Islam,” opined neocon think-tanker James Schall of Georgetown University.*

Mass demonstrations in support of 2500 Palestinian hunger strikers swept through the West Bank this weekend.

Marchers moved through the streets of Hebron, Kafr Qaddoum, Nablus, Nabi Saleh, Ni’lin, Ramallah, al-Walaja and outside of Ofer prison. The picture above was taken in Hebron.

It shows an Israeli soldier with his knee firmly planted on a young Palestinian’s neck.

The picture also shows how American tax dollars and church pensions are at work on this Mothers Day weekend, a commercially-driven event in which American teenagers and their families annually honor mothers with gifts and family meals.

Secessionist rumblings have been getting louder in the United States as disaffection with the federal government has amplified. Wayne Madsen canvasses the growing tide of disunionist tendencies in the United States, which he deems may realistically result in the gradual splintering of the country into separate entities...

The same people, who brought you the thing you wanted, removed the thing you needed in the process. Life doesn't make sense most of the time and there are deeper and ever deeper, beneaths and behinds as you continue to go in your inquiry, should you chose to continue and we do continue but mostly we continue to continue.

This week the German Bundesbank waved the white flag. The die is cast. For good or ill, Europe has embarked on a program that will require multiple trillions of euros of freshly minted money in order to maintain the eurozone. But the alternative, European leaders agree, is even worse. Today we will look at the recent German shift in policy, why it was so predictable, and what it means. This is a Ponzi scheme that makes Madoff look like a small-time street hustler. There is a lot to cover.

When the captain of the Serapis asked if he wanted to surrender, he replied, “I have not yet begun to fight!” A few hours later, the crew of the Serapis surrendered and Jones added the ship to his collection. He entered the fiercest battles in naval history as what seemed the loser, but it ended with Jones on top.
