Little Minds and Big Battles

State Senator Ted LieuYesterday we looked at the critical primaries coming up next Tuesday. One of the most important is for Henry Waxman's House seat on the Westside of L.A.-- Santa Monica, Venice, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo, Redondo Beach, Westwood.

“Where liberty is, there is my country,” Benjamin Franklin once said to Paine. “Where liberty is not, there is my country,” Paine replied. For Paine, the role of a citizen extended beyond national borders. The fight of those living under any system of tyranny was his fight.

According to Google, the self-driving cars will reduce road traffic accidents by over 90% Google’s newest self driving car looks like a toy, but fits two people and drives by using only the on-board computers and exterior sensors. The project is currently…Read more →

The Good News from Bilderberg is that they have invited back the Chinese college professors who attended Bilderberg 2012 but were snubbed in 2013. They also invited another Chinese professor who has worked on his government’s Five Year plan. Hopefully, this rapprochement means we can avoid a military confrontation in Asia. One Bilderberg agenda item is to discuss the recent Russo-Chinese economic alignment and what this means for the Western governments they control.They discuss agenda items until a consensus is reached.

President Barack Obama’s "pivot" to Asia is directed at strengthening U.S. Cold War era alliances to tacitly contain a rising China. However, that means that even minor disputes between American allies and China could drag the United States into a shooting war with a nuclear weapons state. Unfortunately, those minor quarrels are occurring now. Among […]

The conventional wisdom is nearly always wrong, and rarely so wrong as when it comes to the EU elections, the results of which are being trumpeted as the triumph of the "far right." The more alarmist among these uniformly pro-EU commentators are even claiming neo-fascism in Europe is on the march. Well, they’re at least […]

“My personal thanks to the Syrian Arab Army and Air Force for protecting all patriotic Syrians, including religious minorities, raped, tortured, kidnapped and beheaded at the hands of the foreign jihadists”……Senator Richard H. Black  of Virginia, 13th District

I started my road to the truth about our sick world by my exposure to the fraud of NASA's Project Apollo some 35 years ago.... At that time, I was a firm believer in NASA and all manned space flights... It was a shock to me, a man of science, to learn that everything that I had believed about Project Apollo, and man's 'greatest achievement' to be nothing more than a massive LIE.....

We don't need any stinking Magic 8 Ball. Tonight to read the future we have . . . the Great Punditto!"The war against euphemism matters most because it forces us to look at the truth we already know. The actual consequences of the N.R.A. and the gun policy it frightens those craven politicians into sponsoring is the death of kids like Christopher Michael-Martinez.

A few weeks back, I came across an interesting article where it seems that the criminal "Anti-Defamation League" that is run by that troll, Abraham Foxman, ran an international "poll" where it asked the question to many people around the world if they "Hate Us. The Jews"?....

Human Rights Watch is alleging that the Iraqi government is using barrel bombs in Anbar and specifically targeting the hospital in Falluja. The hospital has been hit by artillery fire so many times that H.R.W. believes the Iraqi military must be targeting the hospital. The government denies the accusation. At least 78 were killed and 83 more were wounded in attacks today.

I have indeed been playing "catch up" with what has really been happening around the world the last few days.... I see the horrendous situation is still going strong in Ukraine, the newest "reports" on "missing" Malaysian flight MH370 was just released, the continuing push for more wars by the criminals in the US government, and of course the horrific decline in our economies, etc, etc...

I have again been busy with family and personal business (again) over the last few days... Only had time to fire off my weekly rant, and have had little time for surfing the net to keep up with what has been happening around our sick world.... Yes, there has been a lot of disturbing happenings everywhere, and again it seems I do have some catching up to do!I have been watching a very disturbing trend the last while here in Canada...Business at the local shopping mall is definitely down, with fewer people walking in the mall and actually shopping in the stores....

There's a debate raging among progressives about Bernie Sanders running for president. [Blue America is encouraging him to run.] Most progressives-- or at least the ones I talk to-- think he should run. Some want him to run, as he has for his entire career, as an Independent.

Apologies readers the last couple of days have been very hectic. Time has not been on my side, sadly. So, I leave an interesting presentation from Jan Irvin at Gnostic Media. All the Laurel Canyon addicts will  be pleased that Dave McGowan is a participant in this presentation!

Dr. Henry Makow has written an essay, “Feckless Goyim Downplay Protocols of Zion.” His essay in the “Truthseeker" numbers this writer among the “feckless." It appears online at the link above, as well as other web pages. What follows is our response. [For a detailed study of this topic see Revisionist History newsletter No.

The first time I heard that the worst elements inside the Republican Party had forced Boehner's hand and gotten him to establish a Select Committee on Benghazi, I said to myself, "Self, Pelosi's a smart woman and a savvy leader.

 As long as their religion, their culture and their behavior are based on the racist supremacist ideology that the Jews, and only the Jews, are God’s chosen people, that they are the only humans on earth, and the rest of the people are animals created by this discriminative God to serve the Jews, they will definitely and unquestionably face a great deal of legitimate resentment and intolerance.

In Lebanon for a few days (turned weeks), arranging a new Syria visa. The pleasant young hotel employee who also helps out at the shop across the street, where I get my water, shyly asks me, “May I ask you a question?”  Sure. “You’ve got a Palestine necklace, a Syria bracelet… where are you from?”
When I tell him I love both countries, he says proudly “ana min Souria,” (I’m from Syria).

On this installment of Themes and Memes Adam and Aaron review the movie The Machine. This is yet another film about artificial intelligence development, but is unique in that it portrays transhuman technologies being developed by the military. Do independent productions tell the truth while Hollywood deceives, or is there more to the story than that?

L.A.'s dirtiest politician, Wendy Greuel, learned her political skills while she was still openly admitting she was a Republican. Vicious, negative campaigning is all she's ever knownA week from today there are important primaries in Iowa-- where progressive champion Pat Murphy is leading comfortably in his crowded House race-- in New Jersey and in California (as well as in some other states without significant Democratic contests).

http://youtu.be/NNUgA98hIU4Eric Draitser of StopImperialism.org provides his analysis of the impact of the recent energy deal signed between Russia and China.  He notes that the deal can, at least in part, be seen as a counter-measure to US attempts to isolate Russia following the incorporation of Crimea into the Russian Federation.  However, he also points the fact that the talking points coming from the US regarding increasing gas exports to Europe to reduce the EU’s dependence on Russian energy are repeated mostly for demagogic reasons.

This week’s indictment by a US grand jury of five Chinese military officials on charges of cyber espionage is both revealing and hypocritical. After all, the US, along Israel, is the world’s leading purveyor of cyber espionage, warfare and subversion.
Moreover, these latest charges should be understood against the broader backdrop of Washington’s‘pivot to Asia’, including the much-touted corporate monopoly ‘free trade’ of the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

DC on BFP #40 | Tom Secker joins us to discuss Glenn Greenwald's No Place to Hide, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Zero Dark Thirty, and the role of the CIA and the national security state in Hollywood. As the Snowden narrative unravels, will the master story-tellers in Hollywood step in to rewrite history and shape your reality?

As you may have read, Blue America extended the Alan Grayson/Jimi Hendrix fundraiser because of the Memorial Day weekend. We'll randomly pick a winner at 3pm (ET)/noon (PT). So you still have a chance to win the very rare and vert collectible Jimi Hendrix platinum album for his first release, Are You Experienced? But even if you're not a Hendrix fan-- even if you're a country music fan or a show tunes fan or an opera fan who never heard a single Hendrix lick-- please consider helping Grayson win his reelection bid.
