More anti-Russian propaganda from the New York Times

By Barry Grey The New York Times has been spearheading a media campaign to demonize Russian President Vladimir Putin and create an atmosphere of anti-Russian hysteria. This is in preparation for a sharp escalation of US military violence in the Middle East and stepped-up preparations for war against Moscow and Beijing. Using unsubstantiated assertions, political amalgams and outright lies in a manner reminiscent of McCarthyism, the Times has published virtually daily articles, editorials and columns asserting, along with Russian “aggression” in Syria and Ukraine, that the Kremlin organized the hacking of the Democratic National Committee’s computers in order to embarrass Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and tip the election in favor of Republican Donald Trump. The claim—presented by the Clinton campaign, the Times and much of the US media as indisputable fact—is that Trump is a political ally, if not a direct agent, of Putin. This allegat

Honduras is a giant graveyard for Human Rights defenders

Honduras has become one of the most hostile and dangerous countries for human rights defenders Honduras has seen at least eight human rights activists killed in 2016, making it one the most dangerous countries in the world for human rights defenders, the United Nations and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) warned Friday. “ The government of Honduras must immediately adopt and apply effective measures to protect human rights defenders, so they can carry out their human rights work, without fear or threat of violence or murder, ” said U.N. Special Rapporteur on Rights Defenders Michel Forst and the Inter-American Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders José de Jesús Orozco Henríquez.

New evidence clears Brazil's Lula in Petrobras scandal

The right-wing opposition had accused Lula of buying an apartment through bribes from the Petrobras corruption scandal. The judge overseeing the corruption case in state-run oil company Petrobras released a report Thursday clearing former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of any charges. According to allegations by federal police, Lula was the mastermind behind the state-run oil company Petrobras corruption scheme and directly benefited from an apartment in Guaruja and a farm in Atibaia, both in the state of Sao Paulo. But Judge Sergio Moro has been forced to acknowledge that Lula and his family do not own property that investigators thought belonged to the politician, dashing claims they were bought with money allegedly obtained through illegal contracts with Petrobras. The court heard the testimony of businessman Fernando Bittar on Wednesday, who confirmed he is the real owner of the Atibaia farm involved in the case. The owner of the apartment

Στίγκλιτς: Καταργήστε το ευρώ

Ο τρόπος, με τον οποίο αντιμετωπίστηκε η Ελλάδα, και οι επιβληθείσες περικοπές, είναι εμβληματικές της αποτυχίας του ευρώ, γράφει ο Αμερικανός νομπελίστας στο νέο του βιβλίο, όπου τεκμηριώνει γιατί το κοινό νόμισμα απειλεί την Ευρώπη. « Τα κατασκευαστικά λάθη του, μοιάζουν αξεπέραστα. Είναι καιρός να σκεφτεί κανείς την κατάργησή του », συμπεραίνει ο Στίγκλιτς, ο οποίος θεωρεί την Γερμανία υπεύθυνη για την αποτυχία του. Κατά τον διαπρεπή οικονομολόγο, το ευρώ είναι εμπόδιο για την ανάκαμψη της ευρωπαϊκής οικονομίας και θεωρεί την κατάργηση του κοινού ευρωπαϊκού νομίσματος ως τη μοναδική δυνατότητα για να δοθεί ώθηση στην παραλυμένη Ευρώπη, σημειώνει το ΑΠΕ-ΜΠΕ σύμφωνα με αναφορά του περιοδικού Der Spiegel « Το ευρώ δημιουργήθηκε για να εξασφαλίσει την ανάπτυξη και να φέρει μεγαλύτερη αλληλεγγύη στην Ευρώπη. Συνέβη, όμως, το ακριβώς αντίθετο. Ορισμένες χώρες βρίσκονται σε βαθιά οικονομική ύφεση, η οποία είναι μεγαλύτερη από τη μεγάλη ύφεση της δεκαετίας του ΄30

Stiglitz predicts eurozone 'failure'

Famous Eurosceptic Joseph Stiglitz suggested there will be disaster across the bloc, with the euro causing havoc in several member states. Nobel prize winning Mr Stiglitz served as a feather-ruffling chief economist for the World Bank. Despite Brexit scaremongering being rife across the UK, Eurosceptic Stiglitz has suggested the real tough times will be for the union. His book How to Save the Euro suggests, on its current course, the euro is certain to fail — and indeed, that it was fatally flawed from birth. Mr Stiglitz points out the Euro's fixed exchange rate and a single interest rate for its members, which means countries must forgo the option to devalue in times of economic weakness. This danger - he predicts - will be its downfall.

The American people still have a chance, as Bernie passes the torch to Jill

by system failure After Bernie Sanders lost the Democratic primary race from Hillary Clinton, it seemed for a moment that the whole process was about to return to the well-known bi-partisan political show, run by the establishment for decades. Things got worse when Bernie decided to endorse Hillary, sending waves of disappointment to thousands of supporters. Yet, this move made things more clear, as showed that most of the former 'Berniebros' are completely determined not to support Hillary. In previous article it has been estimated that “ Perhaps Bernie wants to make sure that Hillary will stay to the left. He may become an extra pair of strict political eyes on her. Hillary would find even more difficult to escape and follow the neocon/neoliberal agenda, especially when she knows that millions of Americans who are got sick of the establishment will be watching her closely. ” As Bernie decided to leave the Democratic Party, he actually sent the message that

Leaked memo shows Soros worked to push Greece to support Ukraine coup, paint Russia as enemy

Leaked documents show that George Soros was active in mapping out the Greek media landscape with generous grants, so as to further the Ukraine coup. It is now accepted fact that Soros was deeply involved in the Maiden protests in 2014 and the violent coup, that saw a democratically elected government overthrown in the name of “EU values”. What is even more troubling, as revealed by the DC Leaks hack, is how Soros and his network of “non-profit organisations” worked to lobby EU member states into not only buying his Ukraine “Maidan” narrative, but to also disavow any ties and support for Russia. Leaked documents show that George Soros was active in mapping out the Greek media landscape with generous grants, so as to further his Ukraine project, while also using his deep pockets to get Greek media to turn against the Russian Federation…in what can only be described as a well-funded and orchestrated smear campaign. In one document entitled: “Open Societ

As expected: Germany rejects latest Greek call for WWII reparations

The German government is rebuffing the latest push by Greece to secure reparations for the brutal Nazi occupation of Greece during World War II. German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said Friday that Berlin’s “ position is very clear ” on the reparations issue and has been stated repeatedly. “ The question of German reparations has been conclusively dealt with, legally and politically, ” Seibert said. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras vowed Tuesday to exhaust diplomatic and, if necessary, legal means to win reparations. He urged Germany, the main European contributor to Greece’s massive bailout program, to enter negotiations on the matter.
