Perpetuating a devastating humanitarian crisis in #Yemen that’s caused death, suffering, starvation, cholera for millions of people — for a $2 billion arms deal — is outrageous! Shame. https://t.co/2GHUJMusmA — Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiPress) September 21, 2018 Read also: Tulsi Gabbard: the very same terrorists responsible for 9/11 attacks are the US ground force in Syria

[Gary] Cohn, the former economic adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, gave a ringing endorsement of Wall Street bankers on Monday, arguing that borrowers were just as responsible for the 2007-2009 financial crisis as lenders and ridiculing rules intended to make the system stronger in its aftermath. . . . Once the No. 2 executive at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Cohn argued that no top bankers should have gone to jail for their role in the crisis because they did not necessarily do anything illegal, despite what populist movements like Occupy Wall Street have demanded. Defending his fellow bankers, who are often blamed for causing and worsening the crisis, Cohn said borrowers played a hand in their financial disasters as well.   “ Who broke the law? I just want to know who you think broke the law, ” said Cohn. “ Was the waitress in Las Vegas who had six houses leveraged at 100 percent with no income, was she reckless and stupid? Or was the banker reckless and stupid? ”

Since coming to power last May, President Lenin Moreno – a handpicked successor of Correa – has fought to remove any trace of Correa’s influence from the ruling party the charismatic leftist once led. by Elliott Gabriel Three months after an Ecuadorian court requested that Interpol issue a “red alert” to detain, imprison, and extradite former Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa, the former head of state remains free and has continued to wage his legal defense against charges emanating from officials in the government of President Lenin Moreno. According to Correa’s legal team, this will remain the case after Interpol suspended the Andean nation’s extradition request in an “exceptional” manner, having considered the merits of his defense argument, which maintains that the prosecution of Correa on charges of conspiracy and kidnapping are of a politicized nature. In July, Ecuadorian Attorney General Paul Perez issued an international request that Correa, 55, b

On 20 August 2018, the Greek government of Alexis Tsipras, the IMF and the European leaders celebrated the end of the Third Memorandum. On this occasion, the major media and those in power spread the following message: Greece has regained its freedom, its economy is improving, unemployment is on the decline, Europe has lent Greece 300 billion and the Greeks will have to start repaying that debt in 2022 or in 2032. The main claims are completely unfounded as Greece remains under the control of its creditors. In compliance with the accords that the Alexis Tsipras government signed, the country must imperatively achieve a primary budgetary surplus of 3.5% which will force it to continue brutal policies of reduction of public spending in the social sector and in investment. Contrary to the dominant message that Greece will not begin to repay its debt until some time in the future, it should be clearly understood that Greece has been repaying considerable amounts constantly all al

From the Kosovo Protection Corps in the Balkans to the White Helmets of Syria, a group of well-connected people with the fundings of governments and elite billionaires have sought to wage a war on public opinion and have recently exploited Jo Cox’s death to do so. by Vanessa Beeley and Whitney Webb Part 9 - Conclusion From the Kosovo Protection Corps in the Balkans to the White Helmets of Syria, a group of well- connected people with the fundings of governments and elite billionaires have sought to wage a war on public opinion and to maintain a monopoly on the prevailing narrative. By using time-tested strategies to mobilize public outrage within the very countries whose governments fund and promote these emissaries of false “humanitarian” narratives, these individuals and those behind them seek to pull at our heart strings in order to manufacture public consent for destructive regime-change operations that leave a trail of bloodshed and failed states in t

WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange could be seen in his final video before Internet and communications were cut off at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London last March. In the video, Assange can be seen giving an interview and discussing a range of topics, including the future of cyber security, the current threat to nation-states and how he is portrayed in the media.

The establishment tools must be really desperate ...

Το "άνοιγμα" του Κυριάκου Μητσοτάκη στην "κεντροαριστερά", ενδεχομένως και σε αμοραλιστική βάση, προκάλεσε σε πολλούς μειδίαμα. Ο Πρόεδρος της ΝΔ, μετά από μια μακρά περίοδο ακροδεξιάς στροφής του κόμματος, κατά την επίσκεψή του στη ΔΕΘ επιχείρησε να αποτινάξει την ταμπέλα του "ακροδεξιού". "Είμαστε μια φιλελεύθερη, λαϊκή, μετριοπαθής, ενωτική κεντροδεξιά παράταξη. Η ΝΔ δεν έχει ακροδεξιούς", δήλωσε, ενώ στην πρώτη γραμμή καθόταν ο Άδωνις Γεωργιάδης, τον οποίο ο ίδιος τοποθέτησε στην αντιπροεδρία του κόμματος, που έχει ως κοινοβουλευτικό εκπρόσωπο τον Μάκη Βορίδη. Και πριν "χαθεί" το μειδίαμα, στέλεχος της ΝΔ στην Πάτρα δικαιολογούσε τους χρυσαυγίτες που ξυλοκόπησαν μέλος της Νεολαίας ΣΥΡΙΖΑ με το επιχείρημα ότι είναι αντιφασίστας. Εξάλλου, η θέση "καταδικάζουμε τη βία από όπου κι αν προέρχεται" έχει παρέλθει. Πως αλλιώς να εξηγηθεί πως δεν έχει υπάρξει η παραμικρή καταδίκη της βίας των "μακεδονομάχων&q

globinfo freexchange More than a month ago, we identified an immediate mobilization of the establishment machine to push progressives into the establishment lines after the 'shocking' victory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Under the fierce pressure of the corporate media, Cortez was essentially forced to declare loyalty to Nancy Pelosi. That was a first, significant victory of the establishment against Cortez and the progressive movement. After that, we saw an unexplained and bizarre contribution of both Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez to the establishment pro-McCain 'litanies'. In this totally unnecessary self-recruitment for the McCain's legacy whitewash operation, Cortez retreated unconditionally and the establishment marked a second victory against her. Now, the establishment 'scored' one more time, as Cortez was forced to endorse establishment's agent, Andrew Cuomo. We mentioned already that c orporate me

Journalists and free press advocates are responding with alarm to newly released documents revealing the U.S. government's secret rules for using Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court orders to spy on reporters, calling the revelations "important" and "terrifying." The documents—obtained and released by the Freedom of the Press Foundation and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University through an ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed last November—confirm long held suspicions that federal officials can target journalists with FISA orders. The two 2015 memos from former Attorney General Eric Holder to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) lay out procedures to ensure that the attorney general or deputy attorney general signs off on any FISA applications " targeting known media entities or known members of the media. " These secret rules, as Cora Currier reported for The Intercept, &
