US Green Party Presidential bid Jill Stein claimed that as an elected president she would launch a new investigation into the 9/11 attacks, because the probe carried out during the George W. Bush Administration "defrauded the nation."

In a statement published on her campaign site, Stein said that Americans "want and deserve a comprehensive and independent" probe into the 9/11, which they haven't gotten so far.

​"The Bush Administration initially said an inquiry was unnecessary, claiming that the perpetrators had been identified and their methods and motives were clear," she said of the 9/11 Commission study.

The report conducted by 9/11 Commission in 2004 that the attacks happened because of the failures by both the FBI and the CIA, which had fallen short of acting wiser and aggressively to prevent the tragedy. Stein said that the paper had scores of "omissions and distortions" that, in fact, worked to whitewash the facts.

Former UK Prime Minister David Cameron is to stand down as an MP, triggering a by-election in his Oxfordshire seat of Witney.

Mr. Cameron, who resigned as prime minister after June's EU referendum, said he did not want to be a "distraction" for new PM Theresa May.

He had said he would continue as an MP until the next general election.

The 49-year-old, who has represented Witney since 2001, became Conservative leader in 2005 and PM in 2010.

The US does not want a ceasefire in Syria -- it wants breathing room

Tough negotiations between America and Russia's top diplomats have managed to produce a tentative ceasefire plan for Syria. But Washington doesn't really want a ceasefire. More likely, a respite for its regime-change proxies.

After more than 13 hours of intense discussions in Geneva this weekend, on top of months of back-and-forth talks, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emerged in a joint press conference to announce that a cessation in fighting would begin this week.

A previous attempt at implementing a truce back in February failed within days of that initiative because anti-government insurgents affiliated with the al-Qaeda terrorist network refused to abide by that earlier agreement.

There is no reason why this second ceasefire attempt should otherwise succeed in holding.

Putin Derangement Syndrome: First you ride the meme and then the meme rides you

Putin Cthulhu
Economist cover sometime next year: Cthulhu Returns!
What follows was put into my head by a piece claiming that in Syria "Russia [was] using advanced weapons system developed through a secret agreement with extraterrestrial visitors". I'm not suggesting that anyone take this seriously but notice the assumption that Putin is in the superhuman category. Its creators are losing control of Putin Derangement Syndrome.

At first Putin was a figure to be mocked. He overcompensated for being short by taking his shirt off on all possible occasions, by catching large fish, finding amphoras and wrestling tigers. The high point of the mocking period was the Olympics: he'd squandered billions building a site where the water was brown and the doorknobs fell off.

But then the quick little regime change in Ukraine went sour and Putin became evil. As one of Canada's professional Ukrainians put it "My Ukraine: A personal reflection on a nation's dream of independence and the nightmare Vladimir Putin has visited upon it." Ukrainians just wanna have fun but Putin turned the dream into a nightmare. Remember Olga Znachkova who didn't want the Eurasian Union but wanted frilly undies instead? Evil Putin stole them too. "Smart but truly evil man" says Madeleine Albright (of all people). Too evil for derision but still limited in his effect: a "regional power" acting out of weakness.

But PDS has evolved far past any localised evil, let alone mockery. In my Putin Derangement Syndrome collection in August there were two principal themes. The first was that Putin had the very same uncanny influence over Donald Trump and Jill Stein that he had had over Bernie Sanders; in other words, he has such a grip on the American election that Hillary Clinton is the only truly American candidate left. The second theme was the extraordinary ability of RT and other Russian media outlets to shape people's thoughts; far exceeding the effects of the much (much) better funded Western outlets. Putin has the power to cloud minds at a distance: he operates at a more than merely human status and he's using that power to reshape the world.

French president Hollande: 'US response to 9/11 only expanded global terrorism and brought chaos to France'

America's response to the September 2001 terrorist attacks, particularly the invasion of Iraq, fostered rather than curbed global terrorism, French President Francois Hollande has said, adding that France has suffered from US foreign policy choices.

In a Facebook post commemorating the victims of the 9/11 attacks, Hollande criticized the way the administration of then President George W. Bush responded to the tragedy.

"The response that the American administration gave to these attacks... far from eradicating the threat, expanded it over a wider area. Namely to Iraq," the French leader wrote, as quoted by AFP.

"And even though France, through [ex-President] Jacques Chirac, rightly refused to join the intervention [in Iraq] which it condemned, it has nonetheless been a victim of the consequences of the chaos it caused."

Comment: Hollande doesn't have much room to talk:

Since 9/11, U.S. gov't has spent $1 Trillion on its Police State

Never let a tragedy go unused. This mantra of the State is as strong today as it was the day after 9/11.

As 9/11 was used to invade and occupy Iraq and Afghanistan - securing a geopolitical foothold in the region like never before - civil rights were dismantled and energies were devoted to the development of a massive domestic surveillance state that Stasi Germany could only dream of.

Indeed, 9/11 served as the perfect pretext for carrying out the goals of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) - headed by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and other purveyors of U.S. military hegemony.

In a policy document called Rebuilding America's Defenses published exactly one year before 9/11, PNAC wrote:
"Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."

UPDATE: Killary Clinton 'overheated' at 9/11 ceremony in NYC

Killary Clinton
US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had to seek rest at her daughter's apartment after feeling "overheated" at a 9/11 commemoration event, according to a statement from her campaign spokesperson.

According to the release, Clinton had been at the event for just over an hour when she began to feel ill.

Comment: Will Killary last until voting day?

 Update: Killary's MD diagnoses 'pneumonia', prescribes antibiotics

RT:
Dr. Lisa Bardack, Clinton's personal doctor since 2001, released a statement through the Clinton campaign which said the former secretary of state had been diagnosed with pneumonia during a follow-up examination regarding her prolonged cough.

Clinton has been "advised to rest and modify her schedule," and was put on antibiotics on Friday, her doctor said.

"She is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely," Bardack said, referring to the earlier explanation of "overheating and dehydration" given for Clinton's abrupt departure from the 9/11 event.

The media expressed suspicion over Clinton's exit from the event after there were accounts that she had stumbled and had to be helped inside her car. Video footage later emerged which showed this to be the case.

Clinton's diagnosis has reignited the #HillaryHealth trend on Twitter, with both opponents and supporters battling it out in posts and comments about who is now a better fit for president.

With much of the Twitter storm descending into a stream of "we told you" tweets, some also identified a pattern of the Democratic camp downplaying serious Clinton issues, first with her email scandal, and then with her health.

Some became outraged at the scene of pneumonia-stricken Clinton talking with and hugging a little girl seen approaching the candidate during her "I'm feeling great" announcement.

U.S. caves in to Russia on Syria: Washington won't continue protecting al-Qaeda

Kerry and Lavrov in Geneva
On Friday, September 9th, America's Secretary of State John Kerry, and Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, came to an agreement on Syria, for the second time. (The previous agreement fell apart). Like the first 'cease-fire', this one concerns the ongoing occupation of many parts of Syria by foreign jihadists, who have been hired by America's allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar, in order to overthrow Syria's President, Bashar al-Assad. (It's nothing like a democratic revolution there; it's a war over pipelines.)

The main sticking-point in these negotiations has been much the same as it was the first time around: America's insistence that Russia and Syria be prohibited from bombing Al Qaeda in Syria, which is the international group under the name of "Al Nusra" there. The United States has not tried to protect ISIS in Syria — only Al Nusra (and their subordinate groups), and it protects them because Nusra has provided crucial leadership to the jihadist groups that the United States finances in Syria for overthrowing and replacing Assad.

Pyongyang has completed preparations for its second nuclear test in just a week after the unhinged regime of Kim Jong-un sent shockwaves through the world following a major test blast.

Yonhap News Agency reports that the government of Kim Jong-un has completed preparations for its second nuclear test in a matter of days according to South Korean government sources who believe that Pyongyang plans to employ a previously unused tunnel at its mountainous testing site.

The news of an imminent test follows in the wake of Pyongyang's massive nuclear test blast on Friday, the most powerful atomic detonation by the regime to date.

Government and media are LYING: Dakota Access Pipeline was NOT stopped by Obama — It was only White House "suggestion"

If you've been reading much of the alternative media outlets out there - including us - you might be under the impression that the Dakota Access Pipeline is officially on hold. We were surprised to discover, when our reporters arrived at Standing Rock, that nothing of the sort has happened.

Some have urged that we've won the battle, but they ask can we win the war?

The fact that people are believing that this battle has been won shows how effective the government and media disinformation machine is.

Media coverage of the Dakota Access Pipeline was sparse and dismissive when this direct action protest started a year ago. Now our Facebook feeds are blowing up with news about this truly epic struggle for the land we all call home. That is if you have friends who post political issues on their walls.
