The financial crisis has turned into a state debt crisis. "The rise of democracy was not possible without the social and legal civilizing of capitalism.. The deregulation euphoria of democratic governments made possible the incredible ascent of the financial oligarchy. Pragmatically camouflaged, privatization and deregulation gained the power of dogmas."
I'm sitting in the rain in Lafayette Square Park, typing while I listen to the chants behind me. There are 243 people sitting, soaked, in front of the White House, including an 86-year-old man from Sarasota Florida wearing a sign that says "World War II Vet, Handle With Care." This is the last day of Phase 1 of this campaign—we've now done three important things:
VeteransToday first came on my radar in early 2010 when editor and presumed
ex military Major Gordon Duff began denouncing the Israeli ICTS International that had got away with bloody murder and stock fraud for nearly 10 for their role in allowing the two planes that hit the WTC on 9/11/01 from leaving the airport with the supposed Saudi terrorists led by Egyptian Mohamed Atta in the first place........While I and others emphasized that ICTS International was still controlled by convicted Israeli money launderer Menachem Atzmon,Major Gordon Duff remained completely silent about that fact,just like the 9/11 disinfo 'conspiracy theorist' Alex Jones always did coincidentally.It would only be recently that I would discover that both had connections to ex CIA DIA George Tenet's international money laundering pals at Agora,Inc. in Baltimore and on the world wide internet where they run their stock and investment frauds..... And the CIA does NOT represent military veterans,if anything it uses them for cannon fodder while self enriching the CIA 'employees' ! So it is sick that they continue to fraudulently pretend to represent the voice of U.S. military veterans up to this this day !
Now over 1,000 have been arrested for recently protesting in front of the White House

Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Tuesday that a man in his 40s who had worked to help contain the radiation crisis at the firm's crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant has died of acute leukemia
While NATO has proven its capacity to kill thousands of Libyan soldiers from the skies, it has failed to convey respectability to the marauding "rebels" under its wing, posing as freedom fighters. The latter, however, should not get too used to their spot in the limelight, which is sure to wane when their usefulness as NATO stooges eventually dries up. Meanwhile, for this author, the incinerated bodies of her soldiers have already secured Libya's place in history.
"Re-creating Revolutionary Communities is not about locking ourselves in our own homes with stockpiles of food and ammo and it's not about confronting our current class-based diseased system head-on with heavy weaponry or ineffectual protests. It's about, as far as possible for each of our own current circumstances, CREATING OUR OWN SYSTEMS."
In the spring of 2011 a Bureau Of Land Management rangeland supervisor working for the Prineville Oregon BLM was caught red-handed subleasing his own cattle grazing permits issued for federal land allotments on Rudio Mountain. The guilty BLM employee lives nearby. He is well known as an avid mustang hater. In his opinion cattle should not have to compete with mustangs on federal grazing allotments. He would like to see all mustangs hauled to slaughterhouses. This guy provided input and was one of the preparers for BLM's new management guidelines for Central Oregon federal lands titled "John Day Basin Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement". The record of decision for this new management plan is due out in the near future.
Then one late summer morning a band of mustangs were resting on a high plateau in a remote place on Rudio Mountain overlooking the John Day River. Suddenly the sound of rifle shots exploded across the high mountain meadow. The proud black stallion ran frantically to get his herd onto their feet and they ran for their lives across the plateau some falling to the ground and thrashing with death throws as the bullets ripped into them taking them down one by one. The first mustang to topple was only a baby not more than 6 weeks old. During the following days the smell of blood and rotting flesh attracted scavengers and birds of prey that fed upon the bodies of the murdered mustangs. It was during this time that hikers visiting this remote part of Rudio Mountain came across what has been dubbed (THE RUDIO MOUNTAIN MUSTANG MASSACRE.) The band of mustangs were killed smack dab in the middle of a remote section of federal land managed by the BLM as a cattle grazing allotment and to add insult to injury the cattle grazing allotment where the mustangs were murdered was being utilized by none other than our notorious untrustworthy BLM employee.
let me interrupt your vacation
It is a war that has been pursued in the predatory interests of finance capital. It is designed to produce what is being referred to widely in the financial press as a "bonanza," not only for the major energy conglomerates, but for the banks and corporations, while underpinning the vast fortunes accumulated by the ruling elite by means of financial speculation...
This video shares ideas and tactics for engaging in Human Rights / Justice Activism Theses are first hand ideas being used around the world on using technolgy and the social media tools and how to disimante the input of information to the world.
Some of us are planning a witness at this rally/revival at Camp Rilea, a US Army base, in Warrenton, which begins at 1 PM Saturday, August 27, and will be finished by 4, probably sooner, according to the organizer. Please consider attending some or all--
The ongoing pillage of our planet by capitalist globalization and the death and destruction of its wars and environmental degradation can all be traced to Anglo and French white supremacy.

The website publicintelligence.net was taken down by its hosting company after yet unknown complaints by an unknown institution.

"Free trade regimes have become charters of rights and freedoms for the corporation.. Free trade is the policy of the powerful after they have become powerful. The German economist Frederick List spoke of `the kicking away of the ladder.'.. Out of contradiction comes creativity.. Trade has transformed economics and societies. It is time that trade itself was transformed."
The ShadowHawk is the seven-foot, 50-lb copter that is the toy-sized dealer of destruction from Texas-based Vanguard Defense Industries.
ShadowHawk can travel over land or sea for up to 3.5 hours in its hunt for perpetrators. Its maximum range is 35 miles with a top speed of 70 mph. The XREP taser sits on ShadowHawk's nose with four barbed electrodes that can be shot to a distance of 100 feet. After hitting the target they deliver 'neuromuscular incapacitation' for a hellish 20 seconds. The cameras are on continuously, which means, when they are inevitably leaked, we're due for some of the craziest videos-gone-viral ever to hit YouTube.

Tax cuts for the super-rich and corporations promised economic growth and more jobs but produced exploding inequality and generalized insecurity. The US faces a revenue crisis and a war spending crisis. The massive US deficit was caused by Bush tax cuts, the wars against Iraq and Afghanistan, state bailouts of banks and firms and suppression of alternative economics.
A worldwide economic and financial order decays to a pure end-in-itself and no longer serves people. A system based on an ideology in which everything-even the person-becomes a product and money is represented as the measurement for all products is legitimated by apologists who trivialize the most blatant derailments of social life as "normal."
Imperialist puppets who outlive their usefullness -- your mercenary armies are a house of cards. Blues you old right-wing wingnut. Nice to see you are still posting in support of isolationism and anti-internationalism.
Hope the other "peoples" leader in Washington D.C., who like Gaddafi sold out the people, soon faces a similar fate.
"We seem to have lost sight of the fact that every dollar we spend on bombs and bullets means that we are underfunding programs to meet the Nation's desperate human needs: health care, education, our war on drugs, low income housing, prison construction, AIDS research- all of these things are part of our national defense."
A protest at the downtown Safeway store during the noon lunchtime, to inform folks that the bananas being shipped to Safeway are being shipped using dirty oil from the Tar Sands. The protest was to say no to using dirty Tar Sands oil to get the products to our communities.

the 19th August 1953 UK/CIA-backed coup - also known as Operation Ajax - overthrew the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh.
in 1951, Mosaddegh nationalized his country's oil industry - which until that point, had been controlled by the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC).
"Five months into the bombing campaign, it is no longer possible to believe the initial official version of the events and the massacres attributed to the "Gaddafi regime". Moreover, it is now essential to take into account Libya's legal and diplomatic rebuttal..."
Thierry Meyssan is a French intellectual and founder of the Voltaire Network.
704 years ago, in 1307, the Church and King of France utterly failed at their ultimate goal of capturing and burying the stunning secrets guarded by the Knights Templar.

A recent piece by Russia Today offers troubling statistics:
"Two men - whose posts did not result in riot-related event - sentenced at Chester crown court after arrests last week . . ."
States lent money to banks at near zero interest and borrowed it back.
Trillions to speculators and financiers and nothing to everyone else! The financial sector must be shriveled. Once it represented 15% of the economy and now is nearly 40%. Once 90% of investment was productive; now 90% of investment is speculative. The real economy falls by the wayside.
Inasmuch as this government and the culture that supports it has become over time a murderous oppressor of people and nations and at the same time continues to engage in high crimes and misdemeanors against all of the world's inhabitants, I cannot in good faith consent to its rule.
We will examine whether terror is institutionalized in the psychology of some religions—particularly focusing on a sense of justice. There are many interesting and provocative ideas discussed. Arguably, this work is as controversial as it is timely. Such an intelligence estimate, if you will, would not have been written had it not related to many important and critical political issues and crises of our day (particularly as related to dominant "cultural clashes" as so framed by various think-tanks). But this work also significantly relates to political theory, history, criminal justice, jurisprudence, as well as social and political psychology etc.
* This might make a great science project for a high school science class.
Unlike the chair, an idea can be shared by a whole people. For the first time, readers or receivers can be senders. Access can replace excess, sharing and community can replace capital and profit. Capitalism and the imploding private sector is not the end of history.

Some thoughts on the insurrection in the UK: the ongoing riots in England are profoundly political.

So often people assume that progress in areas of sexism and racism are inevitable.
We think that since the 1960s happened that these fights are over and we can sit idly and sing "Kumbaya." Even activists can miss details of how the fight for social progress is an ongoing fight.
The financial crisis mutates into a worldwide economic crisis. Corporate fraud, regulatory failure and expansion of the financial sector lead to the atrophy of public spirit. Harry Hopkins and FDR created 4 million jobs in two months. In Germany, the GDP rose 300% in two decades with 20% fewer workers.
Work must be redefined and shared. Productivity gains must be shared.
As protests spread against the regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the Obama administration faces a choice: which side of history does it want to be on?
"Violence is rarely mindless. The politics of a burning building, a smashed-in shop or a young man shot by police may be obscured even to those who lit the rags or fired the gun, but the politics are there." -- penny red
Economics changes with the times as states and individuals change. Savings once was the elixir and then spending with John Maynard Keynes was the elixir.
The economy should serve humankind; humanity should not serve the economy. Privatization is part of the snake oil remedy. Competition, reduction of life to commodification and egoism are taught day after day in elite democracy.
uh huh
