Ukraine: Foreign Intervention, Copious Propaganda, Lies and the Rise of Neo-Nazis SHARE
This term paper, for the University of California, sought to set the record straight on the 2014 destabilization and coup d’etat in Kyiv. The professor of the required political science class had infused his lectures with mindless pro-US propaganda for the entire semester. My intent was to school him, so that he would stop propagandizing the impressionable young students. Eighty-six footnotes, he had to give it an A.

Fake News From "The Daily Beast" on Julian Assange & Russiagate SHARE
Jimmy Dore destroys the propaganda lies from The Daily Beast, which were posted recently to OpedNews. Julian Assange has stated plainly for four years that the information did not come from Russia or any state actor. This dangerous spin is a direct attack on the world’s most vital journalist who is facing extradition hearings in the UK for doing journalism.

UkraineGate - Inconvenient Facts (Documentary) SHARE
Crucial investigation of Joe and Hunter Biden's involvement with Ukrainian gas company Burisma, Joe Biden's brag about withholding one billion dollars in loans until meddling in Ukraine's legal system and forcing its top prosecutor to be fired. As we move into impeachment, the propaganda is so prevalent and widespread that even such notable voices as Robert Reich have attempted to spin away this glaring corruption, right here at OpEdNews. The Bidens have faced zero legal accountability, and Barack Obama's covert destabilization and overthrowing of Ukraine's democracy in 2014 has also been ignored: arguably much greater crimes than Trump has even been accused of in Ukraine.

Must Read: Lies About Iran Killing US Troops in Iraq Are a Ploy to Justify War SHARE
Gareth Porter exposes the latest war pretext as a fraud. Iran is not responsible for killing US soldiers in Iraq, and this lie goes back to Dick Cheney. Trump has floated this cassus belli which is now repeated throughout the media with zero evidence to substantiate it.

Ukrainegate 13,000 Times Worse Than You Think SHARE
There are crimes and there are misdemeanors. Guess which ones are impeachable? The charge that the CIA and Democrats have concocted against Trump is so unserious, in the larger scheme of the empire, that it's a sad joke.And since when is the President of the USA required to send weapons to foreign countries at all? Where is that section of the Constitution? The entire farce stinks, as Trump could be impeached for a dozen other real issues.

Bogus "Science" Alert: Cannabis/Psychosis Claims at The Lancet, NPR, MSM SHARE
Bogus “study” recruits mental patients with known disorders and tallies up which ones use cannabis. All they’ve discovered, via Occam’s Razor, is that mentally stressed individuals self-medicate. That’s it. It’s been old news for a long time. This is a repeat.Though they did measure for alcohol, I found a very curious omission indeed: no mention of anti-depressants or other psychiatric drugs! The ones whose labels explicitly warn of psychotic episodes.

Right Wing Lost Its Mind #Kavanaugh SHARE
The old Nazi strategy of blaming your victims for what you do is back in style. The hysterical Kavanaugh hearings worked to present abusers as the real victims, and this has been enough to sway their ground troops. We are entering yet another very dark age.

That "Freedom" SHARE
Freedom has more than one meaning, more than one connotation. It is a handy propaganda term for those who want the freedom to wage wars of aggression, to plunder resources, to pollute the environment, to disempower workers. Don't be blinded by Star-Spangled bullshit.

Today's Reality Checklist SHARE
The propaganda against Syria is ridiculous on its face for many reasons. Foremost, the US establishment would care nothing at all if foreign civilians were gassed EXCEPT that they can use this (fabricated) atrocity as a cassus belli to launch a long-desired war. But they have miscalculated, and their predations could end the world.

Big Lies and World War 3 SHARE
No, I do not for a second believe that the Syrian government used sarin gas, just as they didn’t in 2013,* just as they didn’t massacre civilians in Houla in 2012. These are lies put out by so-called “activists” who are the rebels’ psyops operations. These “activists” have been shown to be liars so many times, and yet the US media repeats all of their claimsuncritically.

On Anarchy and the Fraud of Anarchism SHARE
Anarchism can only be described as a confused mishmosh of pie-in-the-sky fantasies, and yet it has advanced recently among the youth as if it held answers to society's deep problems. Anarchy is as dangerous, chaotic, and lawless as it is popularly assumed to be. It also fragments the opposition into those who would reform the abuses of the current order, and those who think that breaking a few windows is somehow overthrowing "capitalism." This malignant dead end should be discredited once and for all.

Saudis Bankroll Taliban, Even as King Officially Supports Afghan Government SHARE
Just as it says, we are beyond satire and parody at this point. America ships billions of dollars of weapons to a regime that funds the Taliban, as well as Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria. The New York Times informs us matter of factly that our soldiers are fighting Washington's own so-called ally.

Exclusive: Ex-CIA Officer John Kiriakou Stands Up for 9/11 Truth SHARE
Paul Jay and The Real News just produced a must-see 10-part interview with whistleblower John Kiriakou, from his home, where he remained under house arrest—an American political prisoner. What caught my attention was the name Abu Zubaydah (or Zubaida). Kiriakou was the guy who actually captured Zubaydah in Pakistan. Zubaydah has been a glaring red flag in the government’s 9/11 story since his capture. My first email to Kiriakou explains a few of the reasons why...

Best Picture: PC or not PC, That is the Question SHARE
James McAnteer breaks down the 2016 Oscars race. Much has been made of the omission of African American actors. The situation is tricky, as the Academy is a reflection of the industry behind it. Some omissions seem like red flags, particularly "David Oyelowo’s riveting portrayal of Martin Luther King in last year’s Selma."

Donald Trump Just Committed to Exposing the September 11th Attacks SHARE
Trump has upped the ante and will expose the perpetrators of 9/11. That is his claim today, and it is quite significant. It may literally put his life in jeopardy, as this is not a trivial matter of simply releasing the 28 censored pages. The implications of this exposure could expand to multiple countries, agencies, and very powerful people. However, someone had better get Bernie Sanders on the record over the 9/11 cover-up, because my vote just became undecided.

White House petition needs signatures. Pressure Obama to move on the September 11th cover up. Saudi Arabia aided and abetted the 9/11 hijackers in San Diego and Florida. This is covered up by the government to this day and represents "Aid and Comfort" to Al Qaeda: treason.
