Update on the L.A. Measure for a City-owned Bank — A Valiant Effort!
The Los Angeles charter amendment to approve a city-owned bank did not pass, but it did get 42 percent of the vote, a remarkable feat considering that the dynamic young Public Bank LA advocacy group effectively only had a month to educate 4 million voters on what a public bank is and why passing the […]

California wildfires kill nine, drive 150,000 from their homes
Early Thursday morning, a small fire started along the Feather River in Northern California. Due to high winds and dry conditions, the fire spread rapidly to the west, and by Friday evening had burned 90,000 acres and erased the town of Paradise (population 26,000) from the map.

Half Million Killed by America’s Global War on Terror ‘Just Scratches the Surface’ of Human Destruction
The United States’ so-called War on Terror has killed about half a million people in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, according to a new estimate from the Costs of War Project at Brown University’s Watson Institute. “This new body count signals that, far from diminishing, the war is only intensifying,” Stephanie Savell, co-director of the project, pointed out in a piece for Axios.

Jesus vs White Evangelicals
Wonderful video above; please watch the whole 3 minutes. It starts with GOP Jesus condemning a refugee child to a detention center. Ha, ha… right? Currently, American evangelical Christians, in selling out to TV hucksters and snake oil salesmen, have allowed their lot to be thrown in with Trump, utterly forsaking the actual Jesus. 100%.

F.A. Harper: The Greatest Threat to Liberty Is the Idea That Democracy Guarantees Freedom
Democracy need not serve liberty. It is entirely consistent with choices that destroy liberty, even though Americans commonly equate them. Consequently, it is important to refocus attention on the primacy of liberty as we move from electing to governing. And there is an excellent guide to such reflection in F.A. Harper’s “Democracy and Liberty,” in his 1949 Liberty: A Path to its Recovery.

Den västerländska kulturen har dåligt självförtroende
Man vill vara tillmötesgående mot muslimer. Men det är inte ömsesidigt. Vi ser inte samma vilja att ”visa kärlek” från muslimer mot kristna. På många håll i islamvärlden ser vi motsatsen – fientlighet, förföljelse och hat.

The Khashoggi crisis: Saudi Arabia braces for tougher post-election US attitude
Saudi Arabia is bracing itself for a potentially more strained relationship with the United States in the wake of Democrats gaining control of the House of Representatives in this week’s mid-term elections and mounting Turkish efforts to corner the kingdom in the Khashoggi crisis.

BRICS – A Future in Limbo?
Today it’s clear that fascist-turned Brazil is out – so we are at RICS. There is not much to argue about. The world’s fifth largest economy, Brazil, has failed and betrayed the concept of the BRICS and the world at large. Whether you consider South Africa as a valid member of the BRICS is also questionable. Much of SA’s social injustice has actually become worse since the end of apartheid. Ending apartheid was a mere political and legal exercise. -

Who is in the Tax ‘Net’ ….?
There has been much debate of increasing revenues by ‘increasing tax net’ so that more people can be brought under tax bracket.

Trump’s sanctions against Iran have more BITE than many are predicting. Here’s why (Video)
The Trump White House announced the restoration of sanctions against Iran, aimed at choking Tehran’s economy and, as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo noted, “depriving the regime of the revenues it uses to spread death and destruction around the world.”
Pomeo said that the sanctions are “aimed at fundamentally altering the behaviour of the Islamic Republic of Iran”.
Pompeo further added…
“Our ultimate aim is to compel Iran to permanently abandon its well-documented outlaw activities and behave as a normal country.” -

The Death of Khashoggi Reveals More than a Murder
On the 2nd October 2018 Jamal Khashoggi entered the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul, apparently seeking documents in relation to his recent divorce. He has not been seen since. The Saudis initially claimed he had left the consulate alive. In the face of a steady leak of material from the Turkish authorities they offered a variety of implausible explanations before conceding that he was in fact dead. -
