President Obama has rejected raising America’s debt ceiling for 6 weeks beyond the October 17 deadline. The compromise was put forward by congressional Republicans, who sought to win time for negotiation and avert an unprecedented US default next week. No specific budget decision was taken in the White House on Thursday, where President Obama met with 20 House Republicans, including Speaker... 

Hacker warned medical devices could be accessed remotely for “mass murder”.

Whistleblowers Jesselyn Radack, Thomas Andrews Drake, Ray McGovern and Coleen Rowley (L to R) and presenter Kevin Owen (C) in RT’s studio in Moscow Edward Snowden’s revelations of NSA surveillance programs prove that the US has abandoned the rule of law, betraying its own constitution, whistleblower Thomas Andrews Drake, told RT.

A truly grim “urgent action bulletin” issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) earlier today states that the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) has received word from “highly placed” sources within the Pentagon that President Barack Obama this past week cancelled his trip to Asia and has retreated with many of his top aides to the mysterious and newly built White House bunker in preparation... 

Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee used obscure language to characterize the push for a clean resolution which would end the government shutdown, labeling it a form of “martial law.” Advocating for the passage of a clean continuing resolution that would, at least temporarily, end the current standoff in Washington and reopen the government, Lee said there were enough members of Congress... 

The Republican-led US House of Representatives unanimously voted to approve a bill which will see 800,000 workers furloughed during the ongoing partial government shutdown paid once the crisis ends. The 407-0 vote in the House was a rare moment of bipartisanship within the deeply divided lower house of Congress. The measure will now be sent to the Senate, which is controlled by the Democrats. The... 

How can Americans even begin to understand Obamacare or the government shut down? In his latest ‘man on the street’ video, Mark Dice talks to Obama supporters in San Diego who struggle to work out which political party Obama is actually affiliated with. The majority of the people Dice talked to didn’t know which party Obama was associated with and some even thought he was in fact a Republican. One... 

Police in Washington DC did not have to resort to shooting dead an unarmed woman, who lead officers on a short-lived car chase through the Capitol on Thursday, said the driver’s sister, former New York police sergeant Valarie Carey. “My sister could have been any person traveling in our capital,” Valarie Carey told reporters outside her Brooklyn home on Saturday. “Deadly physical... 

California Governor Jerry Brown has signed a law barring state cooperation with any attempt by the federal government to indefinitely detain people. The legislation targets the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

A highly troubling “urgent bulletin” issued earlier today by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) states that it has received information from the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) warning to expect a “radical change” in the government of the United States, possibly within the next fortnight, based on information they have received from “highly placed” sources within the Pentagon. According... 

US Secretary of State John Kerry has warned that a prolonged political crisis in Washington would weaken the country at a global level as a political stalemate in the US has forced the federal government shutdown to stretch into its fifth day. “If it were prolonged, or repeated, people would begin to question the willingness of the United States to stay the course and its ability to,”... 

The US stock market plummeted to its lowest level in almost a month as a federal government shutdown stretched into its third day on Thursday. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 135 points after the closing bell. The 0.9 percent loss forced the Dow index to close at below 15,000 points. The broad-based Standard & Poor’s 500 index also fell 17 points, or 1 percent, to its lowest point...

Given the fact that not so long ago, the United States faced down the threat of imminent nuclear war, you’d think the mainstream media would put the threat posed by a woman named Miriam Carey ramming some gates near the White House in some kind of perspective. Instead, the incident prompted a contrived freak out with alarmist rolling news coverage which went from characterizing the incident as... 

When it comes to Edward Snowden, it’s reasonable to expect a little hard talk from former NSA and CIA chief Michael Hayden. After all, it is HIS baby that’s been shamed by Snowden’s leaks. But hinting that there are ‘lists’ on which Snowden should be is taking things to a new level. Speaking at a panel discussion on Thursday, the ex-NSA director made it clear that he’s aware of Snowden’s...
