Power flows from institutions and those without them have no power.February 14, 2014 (New Eastern Outlook - Tony Cartalucci) - Occupy Wall Street, ideologically speaking, could not have been any more universally appealing. It was the 99% against the 1% (or more accurately - the 99.9% vs. the 0.1%), with the realization that big money had taken over politics and society to the detriment of all, regardless of political affiliation.
The one very clear message that we can take away from this is the so called 'opposition' is not supported by everyone. That is... not everyone in the Ukraine is supportive of the western puppets or EU subversion.I also like the disinfectant aspect- like house cleaning? And we can have a chuckle!

When's the last time we asked you to sign a petition? Right… never. But our friends at Daily Kos are offering the kind of strategic initiative that appeals to us. They want progressives to express their frustration with President Obama's tendency to fill the judiciary with corporate lawyers. It's been making a lot of us sick? Not you? Did you know that just over 70% of President Obama's judicial nominees have been corporate lawyers?

In late September 2001, a couple of weeks after 9/11, the United States was struck with what the Bush regime dubbed a “second wave” of terrorism. Letters laced with deadly anthrax spores arrived in the mailboxes of prominent media figures and two American senators. Five people were killed and 17 others were infected.

Hamas announced on Friday that it would deal with any foreign forces deployed in Palestinian territories the same way it is dealing with Israeli occupation, emphasizing its rejection of negotiations between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Israel.
TweetAs reported by Libyan War the Truth, Khalifa Haftar, a so called General (of what army we don't know) attempted to declare a coup in Libya yesterday. This fake coup was of course backed by and instigated by the CIA of which he is a long time member. The Libyan people and the army of Libya actually laughed and made jokes about his declaration. Everyone, in Libya knows exactly what a traitor Haftar to is to Libya and they cannot imagine anyone following him.

Mark Pocan (D-WI) will have to be a magician if he's going to get his Restore Honor to Service Members Act (H.R. 2839) out of committee and passed into law. Sure, Pocan rounded up 144 cosponsors for his bill, but only one-- Ileana Ros-Lehtinen-- is a Republican. Her colleagues are accustomed to writing off her pro-LGBT actions because she doesn't hassle them over their homophobia and because she has a huge LGBT population in her blue-leaning district.

Al McAffrey and Tom GuildWhen our old pal, Andrew Rice, resigned his Oklahoma City state Senate seat, state Rep. Al McAffrey won it. It's one of the most progressive pockets in a deep red state and McAffrey's accession was both good and bad. Symbolically, it was awesome to have an openly gay man in the Oklahoma Senate. Many Republicans saw, for the first time, that gays have neither cloven hooves for horns.

Lately, I've been railing a lot about Steve Israel recruiting Republicans to run for Congress as Democrats.
