Permalink Market Euphoria: The Mother of All Ponzi Schemes

Stephen Lendman The bubble of all bubbles. A house of cards waiting to collapse, says Paul Craig Roberts. A great unraveling looms. America's economy based on market manipulation. Rigging things one way. Smoke and mirrors deception. Money printing madness. Privatizing profits. Socializing losses. Upside down reality. Shifting wealth in unprecedented amounts. More than what's comprehensible. To monied interests. From ordinary folks. Stealing them blind. Creating ruler/serf societies. Notably in America. Enforced with police state harshness.

Permalink Russia says will react if U.S. imposes new sanctions

Russia will take counter measures if Washington imposes new sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine crisis, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Saturday. The U.S. Congress has readied new sanctions on Russian weapons companies and investors in the country's high-tech oil projects, but U.S. President Barack Obama has yet to sign a corresponding bill into law. "We will not be able to leave that without an answer," Russia's Interfax news agency quoted Ryabkov as saying. He did not say what form of counter-measure Moscow might take.

Permalink French neo-fascist National Front defends CIA torture

Alex Lantier The defense of CIA torture by Marine Le Pen, the president of France’s neo-fascist National Front and 2017 French presidential hopeful, testifies to the bankruptcy and criminality of Europe’s political establishment. Asked about the US Senate’s torture report on BFM-TV, she said the United States should stop “giving morality lessons to the whole world,” but defended the CIA: “I am not going to condemn this ... On such subjects, it is pretty easy to come on television and say ‘Oh my God, that’s awful.’” Asked if one could use torture, she replied: “Yes, yes, of course, it has been used historically. I think people who take care of terrorists and therefore of getting information out of them that saves civilian lives are responsible people.”

Permalink NYC, Washington Brace for Largest Protests Yet Over Police Brutality

Washington and New York City are getting ready for what is expected to become the largest protests over police brutality towards black Americans in series of rallies that recently hit the US. Thousands of people are expected to take to the streets of Washington on Saturday in protest of the killings of unarmed black Americans by the US police. In New York City, a well-known anarchist group Anonymous is staging a so-called "Day of Anger", calling for the "Millions March" to hit the streets in the city center. "A million would be nice, at the moment we have 45,000 people RSVP’d on the Facebook page. One million would be amazing, but optimistic. One of the schools in Massachusetts is sending three buses down so we’re hoping the numbers are bigger," co-organizer Umaara Elliott told Sputnik.
