Tom Hayden is Still Here

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 hour ago
*-by Dorothy ReikPresident, Progressive Democrats of the Santa Monica Mountains* Tom’s activism finally did him in. The billy club blows he suffered at the hands of Southern sheriffs during the Freedom Rides didn’t kill him. Chicago police who beat him during the 1968 Democratic Convention protests didn’t do it. The US bombs that rained down on him in Hanoi didn’t either. It was the poisonous air at the Fresno oil fields. In the last years of his life Tom was working on environmental justice. He wanted to bring the communities who were suffering the effects of our oil production... more »

Important Video By Snordster: Trump Must Follow Putin!

OK, I must say that I really do not like delving into the so called Presidential circus happening right now in the United States... And as a matter of fact I do basically agree with so many real truth seekers out there, including Buelahman, in that the best option for most Americans is absolutely NOT to vote, due to the fact that no matter which side gets to put their candidate into the Oval Office, the JEWS win again! HOWEVER, we again must realize that it is too late for the American political system to change and the American people must cast their vote for either the mass murd... more »

"Quiet Desperation..."

noreply@blogger.com (Coyote Prime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 2 hours ago
"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things." ~ Henry David Thoreau

*"Thinking is man’s only basic virtue, from which all the others proceed. And his basic vice, the source of all his evils, is that nameless act which all of you practice, but struggle never to admit: the act of blanking out, the willful suspension of one’s consciousness, the refusal to think—not blindness, but the refusal to see; not ignorance, but the refusal to know.

Donald Trump’s economic policies are “mostly a mash of bunkum”

Since so many who should know better seem to have come out strong for the Trumpelstiltskin’s economic “plan,” this concise open letter from economist Donald Boudreaux should prove in explaining why it’s actually mostly a mash of bunkum.

Big Data cannot solve the paradox of the state

*The paradox of the state is that while it employs very smart people the state itself is dumb. It was Hayek who best explained why, suggests Andy Smarick in this guest post: it’s a problem of knowledge. It’s impossible to create and maintain well-functioning, domineering central authorities because they will always lack the capacity to collect, analyse, and act on the infinite and ever-changing body of relevant information—information that is inside each of our heads. The government’s decision to centralise doesn’t imply a solution to the problem of information being infin... more »

Labour *is* standing in the Richmond Park by-election. But should it? At the 2015 general election, Zac Goldsmith romped home with 58% of the vote. The Liberal Democrat runner up mustered 19% while Labour languished on 12%. The highest proportion we ever managed was at the 1997 high watermark, and then it was a measly twelve-and-a-half per cent.

Like most "disruptive" new ideas, at first the "100 Who Care" movement -- if it can be called that -- seems marvellously simple. There's a good cause in your community. It needs a dose of cash.

The first 100 Women Who Care group was formed in November 2006 by Karen Dunigan of Jackson, Michigan, USA. At their first one-hour meeting, the Jackson 100 Women Who Care group raised $10,000 to buy...more »

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 23 hours ago
*DoD Buzz*: *Russia May Not Be Behind Internet Attack: Intel Director* A non-nation state actor — not the Russian government — may have been behind the recent internet attack that crippled many popular sites across U.S., according to the man who oversees U.S. intelligence agencies. “The investigation is still going on; there is a lot of data that we have gathered here, but that appears to be preliminarily the case,” Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said on Tuesday during a live-streamed discussion organized by the Council on Foreign Relations.

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 1 day ago
*Reuters*: *Getting North Korea to give up nuclear bomb probably 'lost cause': U.S. spy chief* The U.S. policy of trying to persuade North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons "is probably a lost cause" and the best that could be hoped for is a cap on the country's nuclear capability, the Director of U.S. National Intelligence James Clapper said on Tuesday. However, underscoring conflicting views in the Obama administration, the State Department said U.S. policy was unchanged and continued to be to seek the "verifiable denuclearization" of the Korean peninsula.

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 1 day ago
*Washington Post*: *Why it’s taking so long for the U.S. and its allies to finish off the Islamic State in Libya* A U.S. air campaign against Islamic State militants in Libya, which was supposed to be a brisk illustration of the effectiveness of U.S. support for local forces, has turned into an extended operation with no clear end in sight.

Tribute to the Last Honorable US Senator: The Story of Paul Wellstone's Likely Assassination 14 Years Ago

Joachim Hagopian at American Empire Exposed - 1 day ago
On October 25th, 2002 the last great hero of the common people in the US Senate was very likely murdered by agents of the shadow US crime cabal government otherwise known as the Bush-Cheney regime. His wife and daughter and two pilots also died in the air crash. Paul Wellstone's story deserves to be retold and Americans need to be reminded that criminals in and out of our government still need to be punished for their unindicted crimes. This article was written as both a tribute to an outstanding American patriot and a reexamination of his probable assassination by criminals still on... more »

The Trump Effect: San Diego And Orange Counties-- Bye-Bye Issa

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 day ago
This has been some week for Doug Applegate, the former Marine colonel who's running for the congressional seat in Orange and San Diego counties, currently held by the very unpopular Trump surrogate Darrell Issa. As we mentioned when Blue America endorsed Applegate in early September, CA-49 is a swing district that swung for Obama in 2008 and for Romney in 2012. It's become clear that this year it will swing back into the Democratic column. A new poll from Tulchin Research shows Hillary winning the district 49-36%.

*“As soon as A observes something which seems to him to be wrong, from which X is suffering, A talks it over with B, and A and B then propose to get a law passed to remedy the evil and help X. Their law always proposes to determine what C shall do for X or, in the better case, what A, B and C shall do for X. … “What I want to do is to look up C. I want to show you what manner of man he is.

A Government Fraud - Take a Bonus to Re-enlist for the CA National Guard

Charles R. Anderson, Ph.D. at An Objectivist Individualist - 1 day ago
Government lawyers in the Pentagon are demanding that California National Guard members who took bonuses to sign up for re-enlistment and future possible deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan ten years ago, now have to pay back those bonuses. The government was not authorized to make them. Now, how likely is it that the service members knew that government officials were unauthorized to offer the bonuses that helped the government to solve its shortage of war-fighters? Of course most people hearing about this wonder how hard it would be for them if the government asked them to pay b... more »
