Obama's Ominous Expansion of "Anti-Terrorism" Law Targeting Activists
It is ironic - and the height of hypocrisy - that this same man who speaks with such reverence for Mr. Mandela and recalls his own support for the struggle against apartheid now allows the Justice Department under his command to criminalize similar First Amendment advocacy

College Scholarships For Hispanics
For the hands down largest ethnic minority group in America, Hispanics face formidable challenges when it comes to higher education. Those students that do not wrestle with English have other barriers to negotiate: cultural, social, familial, and economic. However tough these obstacles seem there is a ray of hope: there is a bounty of scholarship opportunities for Hispanics.

Homeland Security announced yesterday that the program was set to be expanded to include 9,000 federal buildings, as well as sports stadiums, businesses and communities in general.

BankRun 2010, CIA Wikileaks Reaches Overreach Critical Mass
Take all your money out of the banks now! December 7, 2010 is the cue for:

BankRun 2010
 http://www.bankrun2010.com/

(Select "EN" Option.)

Paypal, MasterCard, and Visa are now blocking the fake CIA Wikileaks donations. We should all know by now that the Wikileaks psy-op is an attempt to create the illusion of a fake Sunni/Shia dichotomy which is only significant to the CIA sponsored "Wahhabi"/"al Queda" psy-op that is attempting to divide and conquer the rather peaceful Muslim population in order to distract the IgnAmerican masses from the financial coop.

Take all your cash out of the banks on December 7, 2010. Picket Walmart. Picket the Ports of New York, New Orleans, and Seattle on the second week of December.

Picket and overrun lower Manhattan.

You have nothing to lose but you chains and your cheap plastic junk from China and India.

Demand stiff tariffs until our industry and productionality is restored. Do not let GM float down the Mississippi to China! Let Detroit communitalize its industry!

America Si! China No!

Seven Reasons Why Capitalism Can't Recover Anytime Soon
As the recession grinds on, politicians in most industrial countries have an incentive to make exaggerated claims about the supposed coming economic recovery. Some say the recession is over. Obama is in the group that claims we're on "the road to recovery," while other nations can only spot recovery "on the horizon." Below are seven important social phenomena that point to a more realistic economic and political outlook.

1) Central Banks are Dumbfounded. The usual tricks that U.S. and European central banks use to avoid recessions are long-exhausted. Interest rates cannot get any lower. And because cheap money wasn't working, the printing press was turned up a notch, into what the U.S. federal reserve calls quantitative easing -- injecting hundreds of billions of dollars into the world economy, escalating an emerging trade war.

U.S. to Host World Press Freedom Day in 2011
The United States is pleased to announce that it will host UNESCO's World Press Freedom Day event in 2011, from May 1 - May 3 in Washington, D.C. UNESCO is the only UN agency with the mandate to promote freedom of expression and its corollary, freedom of the press.

The theme for next year's commemoration will be 21st Century Media: New Frontiers, New Barriers. The United States places technology and innovation at the forefront of its diplomatic and development efforts. New media has empowered citizens around the world to report on their circumstances, express opinions on world events, and exchange information in environments sometimes hostile to such exercises of individuals' right to freedom of expression. At the same time, we are concerned about the determination of some governments to censor and silence individuals, and to restrict the free flow of information. We mark events such as World Press Freedom Day in the context of our enduring commitment to support and expand press freedom and the free flow of information in this digital age.

FBI, ENTRAPMENT AND ISLAM
When Farouk al-Aziz allegedly tried to incite members of a California mosque to blow up a mall, they reported him to the FBI, but nothing happened.

Apparently, that's because al-Aziz was actually Craig Monteilh, a paid FBI informant and ex-convict sent to infiltrate the mosque and expose a potential terrorist. But the FBI's attempt to spy on the mosque was exposed instead, in a case that has imperiled relations between the agency and American Muslims.

native John Graham. As many who have been following this case know, John
Graham has been charged with the 1970's murder of his friend and comrade
in the American Indian Movement, Anna Mae Aquash.

We understand the real intentions of this so called "investigation" to be
two-fold. The first is an attempt by the State to rewrite history in order
to cover up the crimes they themselves committed. The second intent is to
neutralize Native American struggle for survival in the face of colonial
and economic domination.

No news is objective and we are not here to pretend.

Eight Rationales Why TSA x-ray screening is illegal, mutagenic (cancer), disease vector
Eight concerns: [1] obviously the first: the TSA invasive searches--without probable cause, without Warrant--is illegal under the Fourth Amendment. [2] The PDF "letter of concern" from University of California-San Francisco (UCSF) professors, some in the National Academy of Sciences, indicating that there is zero independent data review of the x-ray cancer potential on different people, particularly women, children, and elderly since the feds have kept the actual x-ray data secret!; [3] The endless touching by the TSA of everyone makes them them a spreader of biological mass infections. No one can challenge these three things. And by the way, [4] Chertoff, ex head of "Homeland" Security, and a dual citizen with Israel is the one putting these in place through his security company. It's another zionist money spinner against the USA by people with a history of compromising our security and making money at it. [5] Bound to create a 'thin blue line' of pedophiles and perverts in the TSA positively attracted to groping anonymous people. [6] TSA already, themselves, have endangered air security by being lax about passes, uniforms, etc. [continued...]

Obama's Bush Doctrine in Korea
A key reason that Obama was elected President was his promise to abandon the Bush doctrine of unilateral foreign policy, meaning that Obama would work with other countries toward a more cooperative, peaceful world. The threat of war in Korea exposes Obama -- yet again -- as a dangerous copycat of Bush's approach to global politics.

A simple way for Obama to live up to his campaign promise would be to immediately agree to China's request to continue the six party talks over the Korean situation, involving North and South Korea, Russia, Japan, China, and the U.S. The last such meeting was held at the end of Bush's term. Here is what Obama said about the six party talks on Veterans day while visiting Seoul:
