Still WAY Too Many Multimillionaires In Congress For A Functioning Democracy
This week I had dinner with Eloise Reyes, the grassroots progressive running in the CA-31 jungle primary against two conservatives: corrupt GOP incumbent Gary Miller and the DCCC recruit who lost to Miller last year, Pete Aguilar. I stay away from DC with a vengeance so I don't go out to meals with many politicians. But I talk to them on the phone all day-- usually not Republicans though.

Meet Eloise Reyes, The Progressive Candidate Running For Congress In The Inland Empire
This week the Blue America team met with Colton attorney Eloise Gomez Reyes who's running for Congress in California’s 31st District. This is the only deep blue district in America with a Republican incumbent.

U.S. drone killings of civilians in Pakistan have WWII precedent
Long before American drones were murdering civilians in Pakistan, American pilots were committing similar war crimes in GermanyIn a 1985 autobiography by the American who was the first pilot to break the sound barrier, the author described how, while serving in the US armed forces during World War II in the autumn of 1944, his fighter group was attacking Germany and "...assigned an area fifty miles by fifty miles and ordered to strafe anything that moved...We weren't asked how we felt zapping people.

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut. The incursion into Lebanon was one of the biggest debacles of the Reagan administration.

Former US Official: For Every Yemen Terrorist US Drones Kill, 40-60 New Enemies Are Created
The list of former U.S. officials who believe drone strikes create more enemies than they eliminate juts got a little bit longer.
“Drone strikes take out a few bad guys to be sure, but they also kill a large number of innocent civilians,” writes Nabeel Khoury, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Yemen from 2004 to 2007. “Given Yemen’s tribal structure, the U.S. generates roughly forty to sixty new enemies for every AQAP operative killed by drones.” -

They Don’t Even Know Why We Have Depressions.
You already know the reason why economists and politicians cannot tell you in simple words why we have Depressions, Bubbles, Booms and Busts. They are owned by the Bankers.
Compare the talking heads on TV to this: A Depression cancels debts. There are historically three ways to cancel Unpayable Debts. First. Massive bankruptcies and layoffs when factories and businesses shut down. In the Great Depression of 1929-1939 at least 3 million Americans died from starvation. This is according to the demographer Borisov. -
