Back in the early 1970s, I worked for Pacific News Service (PNS), a small antiwar media outfit that operated out of the Bay Area Institute (BAI), a progressive think tank in San Francisco.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has made no bones about his view of Twitter as a threat to his regime, dubbing it a “danger to society.” Other officials in his government ruled Twitter “deadlier than car bombs.”
It has been a while since I did an article that focuses in on the ongoing Palestinian conflict. I do have a bit of catching up to do....I have said many times in previous articles that true peace is absolutely unattainable in Palestine with the parasitic alien Jews that are illegally occupying the land, and there has been absolutely NOTHING that I have seen since that time that has changed....
I have been reading and watching all the recent articles about the latest Jew spew out of "Jew"-lywood, entitled "World War Z"..... What I have found out about this movie is that it is a very pathetic attempt by the criminal Jews to cast their horrible and psychotic state of Israel in a positive light... The fact that part of this spew that is passed off as a movie centers around the criminal state of Israel and how that nation somehow saves itself from "zombies" shows again how badly these criminals are now at a state of desperation to somehow claiming how "great" Israel is...

3 American Nazis with a toxic agenda- Gilchrist, Simcox, HannityLast week David Vitter's viciously anti-immigrant amendment was defeated in the Senate, 58-36, with 7 Republicans rejecting it and only the most reactionary Democrat in the Senate-- Mark Pryor-- crossing the aisle and voting with Republican anti-immigrant extremists.
Given the fact that the Internet and phone intercepts made by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) are in violation of the First and Fourth Amendments to the Constitution, there is only one nevertheless completely irrelevant argument for the government to make in their defense: that they have made Americans safer. But is that [...]
Which is more dangerous to personal liberty in a free society: a renegade who tells an inconvenient truth about government law-breaking, or government officials who lie about what the renegade revealed?

No more checks from Idaho fascist Frank VanderSloot unless candidates can prove their anti-American extremismSaturday night I was driving home after dinner and I was hearing some pretty racist talk coming out of my radio.

He had some crackpot ant-immigrant kook on from a hate group, the California Coalition for Immigration Reform.
Digby, Jacquie and Amato met with Barbara Buono at Netroots Nation last week-- so now we can all vouch for what an incredible governor she would make. All she has to do is get around a gigantic roadblock, media darling (they're masochists) Chris Christie. But, as far as Blue America is concerned, it's now official: we endorse Barbara Buono for governor of the Garden State!Early Monday morning I found an e-mail from someone named Tessa Bitterman. I never heard of her and almost deleted it. But something made me open it and read it.

Eric appears on RT to discuss the latest developments in the Snowden case, Eric explains some of the critical details and provides his analysis of the geopolitical conflicts emerging in the case, particularly with regard to the US relationship with both Russia and China.
The post The Geopolitics of the Snowden Case appeared first on .
Eric is featured in this week’s “Inside Out” on the issue of the outsourcing of jobs. Eric explains how the ideology of free trade has precipitated this labor crisis, and that most Americans, especially young people, are bearing the burden of the economic crisis. Additionally, Eric traces the root of the problem directly to the ruling class and their elected servants who are little more than representatives of capital and finance. Highlighting a few marginalized groups, he critiques the notion that Obama’s policies are intended to do anything other than serve Wall St. and the 1%.

Justice Ginsburg, who, like Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer, went to my high school, James Madison in Brooklyn, knows what she's talking about when she says the decision by the 5 right-wing Republican activists on the Supreme Court, each of whom is also a corporate whore, produced an anti-democratic ruling stinking of "hubris."
