Assange, Snowden, Manning Declared ‘Heroes’ By Switzerland

US Aid To Israel Is Illegal, Lawsuit Claims
The untold billions of dollars of aid provided by the United States to Israel is in violation of a 40-year-old American law, a new lawsuit claims.

Internet programmers have deciphered a mysterious Tweet sent out by Edward Snowden last week, revealing that the NSA whistleblower may be in grave danger.

#RPGaDay Day 12: What Game is My Group Most Likely to Play Next? Why?

Is The Idea Of Utah As A Battle Ground State For Real?
Since 1948, when Utah voted for Truman 54-45%, there was just one time when the Beehive State went Democratic. In 1964 only the 5 most racist states of the Old Confederacy plus his home state voted for Goldwater. The the rest of the country, Utah included, went blue. Utah gave Johnson an even bigger margin than they had given Truman-- 55 to 44%. In 2012 Utah only gave Obama 24.75% of it's vote, his worst performance of any state. So could Utah really go for Hillary in November? Short answer: no. More nuanced answer: Trump won't get 50%, not with Clinton out-performing, Gary Johnso... more »
It’s poverty, not teacher quality
Sent to the Washington Post, August 12 Melinda Gates still thinks that teacher quality is the problem in American education (“Gates Foundation to ‘stay the course’ as it seeks to help shape state education policies,” August 12). Of course we should always be trying to improve teaching, but there is no teacher quality crisis in the US: When researchers control for the effect of poverty, American students score near the top of the world on international tests. Our overall scores are unspectacular because of our unacceptably high child poverty rate, now around 25%. The problem is... more »
What's Wrong With Democrats
Like Chris Hedges, Thomas Frank has been analyzing what has gone wrong with the Democratic Party over the last fifty years. Don Lenihan writes that, if you really want to understand what's going on in this year's presidential election, you should read Frank's latest book, *Listen, Liberal:* As part of the American left, Frank regards Roosevelt’s New Deal as the high-water mark for the Democratic Party—a concerted effort to use the power of the state to defend working people’s interests in the face of economic calamity.

Stoke Central CLP Nomination Meeting
46 people turned up for tonight's nomination meeting which, thanks to the Appeal Court ruling earlier today, depressed the numbers we were otherwise expecting. Indeed, two people that hadn't heard about the upholding of the NEC's decision had to be turned away. I do hope that isn't the last we see of them. Looking around the meeting before it properly started, apart from a few folks away on holiday (which, in case you were wondering, included our MP) nearly all the stalwarts who attended religiously during the quiet times turned out.

Cancer Cell Specialist Makes One Thing Utterly Obvious About Our Food
This continues the argument that the sooner we switch to organic methods the better.

Since the science is on the side of sustainable methods, this will not end. What disturbs me is that we are consuming these pesticides. There was a claim out there that washing and scheduling eliminates the problem. Nice story but just a salesman's lie.

Battle for Aleppo: How Not to Break an Encirclement
*August 13, 2016* (The New Atlas) - Predictably, the tenuous corridor militant forces have created in southwest Aleppo has become a killing field, battered by artillery, missiles, bombs and other direct and indirect weaponry. The militants who created it appear to have operationally lost momentum, with Syrian forces incrementally taking back temporarily lost territory. The use of this corridor to *"relieve"* militant forces trapped inside Aleppo is questionable at best. The concentration of forces required to accomplish even this much has exposed a large number of militants to liq... more »

Trumpism was dominant long before Trump!
*FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 2016Betsy McCaughey's return:* Trumpism was dominant long before Candidate Trump came along. Today's youngish reporters may not always know this. Each point is illustrated by this new report at TPM. The report appears beneath this headline: "Meet The Anti-Obamacare Myth-Maker Trump Just Named To His Economic Team" The report is about Betsy McCaughey, the "anti-Obamacare myth-maker" in question. That headline is rather striking, though, because McCaughey most consequentially made her stripes by taking down Hillarycare in 1993 and 1994, long before Obama or Obam... more »

Despite the lies. . .
Opt-out in New York is thriving. Contrary to what we were led to believe by state Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia in the spring after the standardized achievement tests in English and Math were taken by public schools across the state, the number of those refusing to take the tests went up, not down. From 20 percent in 2015 to 22 percent this year. Read on here.

Sensitivities about ethnicity and religion
When I heard the following interview with Mishal Husain and Sir Eric Pickles this morning two thoughts struck me. Number one thought was that it was a little ironic that an item concerning political correctness and intimidation should itself display a perfect example of both. I mean, Husain’s tone positively brimmed with ‘intimidating school-teacher’, a mode she often adopts when challenging an interviewee. She gives the impression that she’s taking the devil's advocate role a bit further than absolutely necessary. Sir Eric Pickles was not his usual confident, nay, assertive self.... more »

Follow Trump's Advice, Lose Your Sexual Harassment Case

The problem with this (besides the fact that not everyone is a billionaire who can quit without having a job lined up) is that if you do quit, you may well give up your right to sue for sexual harassment. You see, the Supreme Court, in its infinite wisdom, says that if your employer has a published sexual harassment policy, you have to report sexual harassment according to the policy and give them a chance to fix it.
