In light of the fact that Israel is in possession of at least 200 (surreptitiously-built) nuclear warheads, and considering the reality that, according to both US and Israeli intelligence sources, Iran neither possesses nor pursues nuclear weapons, the relentless hysterical campaign by Israel and its lobby against the Iran nuclear deal can safely be characterized as the mother of all ironies—a clear case of chutzpah.

Three recent polls show most Americans oppose what they know little about or what’s potentially at stake. More on this below.

Republicans have long dreamed of finding a way to either privatize or get rid of Medicare, a program that has provided access to health care for well over 100 million Americans since it was created in 1965. As presidential candidate and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush made clear a few days ago, that dream is still alive.

Commentators on modern Jewish history are often puzzled by the animosity of secular Jews toward gentiles. Particularly puzzling is the scale of Jewish ‘revolutionary’ violence towards Christianity and churches in particular. It is no secret that Bolshevism set many churches ablaze.

The question is often asked: “What can we do?” Here is a prescription for peace and prosperity.

Do you remember when real reporters existed? Those were the days before the Clinton regime concentrated the media into a few hands and turned the media into a Ministry of Propaganda, a tool of Big Brother. The false reality in which Americans live extends into economic life.

I’m forced to reach the conclusion that certain sectors of the English-language Western media would come up with negative comments about Egyptian President Abdul Fattah Al Sissi, even if he singlehandedly constructed a replica of the Giza Pyramids, block by block, on the moon. By contrast, the French, Italian and Spanish papers overall ran congratulatory headlines.

Naftali Bennett is a Netanyahu coalition partner. He heads the fascist Habayit Hayehudi (Jewish Home) party. He’s ideologically over-the-top.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady says he had nothing to do with having air removed from game balls.

Late last month, there was a report of two police officers in Britain subduing and apprehending a man wielding an 8-inch knife. What made this story interesting is that the two cops were not carrying guns and successfully handled a potentially tragic event with no one being seriously injured.

Intra-Taliban warfare hits the streets of Kabul
By Peter Chamberlin
The latest series of bomb blasts in and near Kabul has exposed large holes in the official reporting on the war, including the mission itself. Nothing is as it seems in Afghanistan. If anything, the bombings have exposed the two official lies in the previous statement—that the bombings are by the actual “Taliban”—and that Mullah Mansour is the successor to Mullah Omar. The bombings are evidence of the authors of the Kabul bombs and proof that Akhtar Mansour is NOT the legitimate, elected successor to Mullah Omar.

Previous articles explained no credible evidence suggests Russia or Donbass freedom fighters had anything to do with downing MH17.
GOP contenders hate Obamacare but don’t have an alternative and know nothing about health insurance
By Wendell Potter
If folks who watched Thursday night’s Republican presidential debate were expecting the candidates to tell us what they’d do to replace Obamacare if they could get rid of it, those folks would have been disappointed.

You might not know it if you follow the English-language Western media, but Egyptians are experiencing a new positive mood, no thanks to its enemies’ unrelenting scathing propaganda. Where there were once cities blighted by violence, looming bankruptcy, daily electricity cuts and shortages of petrol as well as cooking gas, today there is hope. As one of my friends on social media wrote, you have to live here to feel it.

I avoided the GOP debate. Had endured enough the day before when I took the car in for a safety check and sat, among other customers, in a waiting area and watched CNN’s broadcast of Obama’s Iran nuclear deal. Heard what must be done, ending the mindset that leads to war, and the words, “negotiate” and “negotiations”.

Former Florida Governor and 2016 presidential hopeful Jeb Bush may have thought he could pass himself off as “Hispanic” when he ticked off that ethnic option on his 2009 voter registration form but he was not able to easily pass himself off as a “banker” in Venezuela in the late 1970s.

Freedom in America is being systematically destroyed: one police state law at a time—with most people ignorant and/or indifferent about what is happening.

This week’s charges against Washington Post and Huffington Post journalists arrested last year while covering protests in Ferguson are the latest sign that even high-profile reporters are not immune from the ongoing police crackdown on press freedoms and civil rights in this St. Louis suburb.

Political conservatives with a high degree of business savvy are able to see through the facade which Fox News has become. The recent orchestration of the Republican presidential debate was a huge ratings success hitting a record 24 million viewers. The early debate gained 6.1 million eyeballs. The contrast between the two venues could not be greater. The high level of discourse among the seven second tier candidates far surpassed the P.T. Barnum spectacular, which was scripted as an episode of desperately seeking jumbo. The GOP establishment elephant was center stage, but the RINO’s suffer from myopia as they disrespect grassroots conservatives.

Being a citizen in the American corporate state is much like playing against a stacked deck: you’re always going to lose.

WMR has obtained a copy of a letter sent to the Central Intelligence Agency by Jeb Bush when he served as the top official of Texas Commerce Bank in Caracas, Venezuela. On April 8, 2015, WMR first reported on the possibility that Bush, a recent college graduate, may have served as a CIA “non-official cover” (NOC) agent in Venezuela. The revelation about Bush’s past links to the CIA comes two days before his expected announcement in Miami that he is a candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

Independent evidence shows GM foods and ingredients harm human health. All nations should ban them.
By Paul Craig Roberts
Few, if any, corporations absorb the full cost of their operations. Corporations shove many of their costs onto the environment, the public sector, and distant third parties. For example, currently 3 million gallons of toxic waste water from a Colorado mine has escaped and is working its way down two rivers into Utah and Lake Powell. At least seven city water systems dependent on the rivers have been shut down.

Strange how intellectual discussion concerning the so-called “Arab Spring” has almost entirely shifted in recent years—from one concerning freedom, justice, democracy and rights in general, into a political wrangle between various antagonist camps.
By Dave Alpert
As I’ve written several times previously, I was born in the Bronx and grew up in a lower middle class, Jewish family. I, like all of my friends, was bombarded with images, both verbal and graphic, of strong white men heroically saving the world from evil both here and abroad. We good guys rode the white horses and wore the white hats. WHITE WAS GOOD!!
