Quote of the Day:
Freedom Rider: Democrats Smear Jill Stein The Democratic Party’s Grand Inquisition has move leftward, targeting 2016 Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, whose political crime was to attend an RT dinner in Russia, the year before. The Democrats are trying to yoke her into their fake “Russiagate” conspiracy. Stein is “the perfect foil. She can simultaneously be blamed for Clinton’s loss while feeding the anti-Russia frenzy.” by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
The Unraveling of the US State Born in genocide and slavery, the U.S. state “can neither reform itself out of economic crisis without attacking the poor, nor manage the exploitation of the oppressed without intensifying state repression.” U.S. imperialism has devolved to a permanent state of war — and war fatigue. The population is pauperized as “capitalist competition and consolidation lead to the permanent replacement of large sections of the workers and uncontrollable under-consumption.” by BAR contributor Danny Haiphong 
Will the CIA Obey a Trump Order to Stop Funding Terrorists? An Interview with Rick Sterling President Trump seems so afraid of the War Party, he almost whispered his recent cancellation of CIA sponsorship of jihadist fighters in Syria. Whatever Trump’s intentions, progressives should support Tulsi Gabbard’s ‘Stop Arming Terrorists’ bill. The corporate media’s true goals are “to continue US ‘regime change’ foreign policy and specifically to attack Syria no matter the cost in blood and treasure,” says investigative reporter Rick Sterling. by BAR contributor Ann Garrison
Intel Vets Challenge “Russia Hack” Evidence A group of former U.S. intelligence officers have informed President Trump that the “purported ‘hack’ of the DNC by Guccifer 2.0 was not a hack by Russia or anyone else, but was rather a copy of DNC data onto an external storage device.” Moreover, more recent leaks of CIA “troves” show the whole affair could have been a “false flag” operation. Why did the FBI fail to perform its own forensic examination? The world deserves an answer. by Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) 
Free Speech or Terror TV? Al Jazeera’s Support for ISIS and Al Qaida People calling themselves “progressives” defend Al Jazeera as a beacon of “freedom of speech” in the Middle East, ignoring its service as a mouthpiece for the genocidal aims of Al Qaida. Untold numbers of Africans were lynched as rapists based on the lies spread by Al Jazeera Arabic – lies echoed by Hillary Clinton. Libya was destroyed, and Syria devastated, with the connivance of Al Jazeera — a tool of Al Qaida and U.S. terror. by Thomas C. Mountain 
Hiding US Lies About Libyan Invasion The author seemed surprised that the U.S. corporate media ignored a story “that undermined the U.S. government’s entire rationale for its unjustified attack” on Libya, in 2011. The basis for the one-sided war against Libya was entirely false, yet the corporate press repeated each lie like it was gospel truth, and never corrected the record. Clearly, the “mainstream” media’s real mission “is to push an agenda supporting U.S. interests abroad.” by Joe Lauria
US Occupation Has Already Begun and Is Being Conducted by ExxonMobil The U.S. and the world’s largest corporation, ExxonMobil, have prioritized the overthrow of Venezuela’s socialist government. Venezuela and neighboring Guyana claim sovereignty over “one of the biggest oil discoveries of the last decade.” ExxonMobil already finances much of the Venezuelan opposition. The company is now trying “to maneuver into Guyana and politically and economically reconfigure the Caribbean Basin to serve it purposes.” by Mision Verdad
G20: The Second Berlin War Against Africa With German bankers in the lead, the West is waging economic war against Africa, as was evident at the latest G20 meeting. “The conference’s real effect is to deepen Europe’s colonization of Africa.” Africans must demand that the continent’s resources be used to develop the people of Africa. Africans should “play the West against China, and vice versa,” and not hesitate to take advantage of Donald Trump’s “challenge to globalization.” by Yash Tandon

Social attitudes survey confirms: Britain shifts left The National Centre for Social Research recently published their 34th edition of the British Social Attitudes survey. The survey is particularly useful for examining public perspectives towards current cultural trends, as well as the current political atmosphere. This year’s report points the spotlight at the public’s growing disdain towards austerity, with an encouraging growth in demand for an alternative. A respective 70 and 80 percent of the public now support increased funding into schools and the NHS, even if this means an increase in taxation by Luke Houghton
