248 pages of classified papers on the TTIP were released by Greenpeace Netherlands on Monday. The US is pressuring the EU over the deal, a report on the texts alleges.
…Sanders himself has called out mainstream corporate media for its bias, and many award-winning journalists have done the same, illustrating how mainstream media is plagued by corporate, intelligence, political, and financial interests. Some of these interests are furthered through pushing the idea that the world faces a great threat, that we are in danger, and must accordingly give more money to the department of defence and more of our personal freedoms to the government; national security must be heightened in order to combat ‘terrorism.’ We have been seeing this with ISIS a lot lately, and with terrorism in general. Mainstream media ties terrorism to the Muslim faith when they have nothing to do with one another, and unfortunately, this propaganda campaign has been successful in its efforts, brainwashing many people, especially in the United States, into fearing Muslims.
The Supreme Court must by the Constitution hear every case presented to it. It does not. It hears only 1% of those presented annually, justifying this by the unconstitutional Judiciary Act of 1925 under President William Howard Taft. The Su[preme Court is the third branch of government along with Congress and The Executive. It guarantees citizens equality under Law. As it stands now there is NO equal protection under law.
The foreign interactions between the USA (under the Obama administration) and the Saudis has resulted in the creation of Isis, the maltreatment of Iran, the war in Syria, and of course 9-11. Read the total entanglement of the United States in creating the problems in the middle East and the endless wars.
“Everyone, this is scary stuff—no matter your candidate, we need to protect our right to vote for whomever we choose,” wrote one New York voter who discovered that she had been unregistered as a Democrat without her knowledge last month.
Hillary Clinton raised money for her campaign and the Democratic party from an array of Hollywood figures at the homes of George Clooney and Jeffrey Katzenberg on Saturday, in what was expected to be her most successful evening of showbiz fundraising so far in the 2016 presidential race.
Here’s the latest on the medical marijuana legislation in the U.K.
Do you think a free citizen should have the right to grow food on their own private property? A city board in Missouri doesn’t think so. In fact one family has been given a mere four days to destroy their beloved food source simply because it is in their front yard. Nathan Athans loves his garden. “I spend all my free time out here,” he says. Besides the therapeutic and health benefits of getting your hands in the soil, and the financial savings of having fresh nutritious food readily available, Nathan also enjoys the peace of mind. “I want my family to know where their food is coming from, I don’t want to have to go to the grocery store and worry about what was done to that food,” he says.
Bernie’s Plan To Bust Up the “Too Big To Fail” Banks Could Ensure the Safety Of the American Economy
Sanders knows how to bust up the big banks. He’s already introduced legislation to do just that. And even without new legislation a president has the power under the Dodd-Frank reform act to initiate such a breakup.
The Panama Papers may spell disaster for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. As it turns out, the then-Secretary of State and President Barack Obama supported the trade deal that made the whole thing possible. The papers consist of more than 11.5 million documents from the world’s fourth biggest offshore law firm Mossack Fonseca, based in Panama, accounting for one of the largest document leaks in history.
Sanders’ unequivocal ban on fracking, coupled with a just transition to clean and renewable energy, is what this country needs.
Finally, somebody says “no” to big pharma’s tax dodging… but will it hold up?
“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
HUD has proposed a new law, which if passed, would make living in a tiny house or an RV illegal starting in April of this year.
We are very concerned what appears to be a glaring and very violent assault on small farmers, Black farmers, and the right to self-determination in this country, via the recent seizure of North Carolina Farmer Eddie Wise’s land. On Wednesday, January 20, 2016, around 7:30 a.m., at least fourteen (14) Federal Marshals in full military gear with full-scale military guns drawn, along with several county sheriff officers, descended on the 106 acre farm in Nash County, NC, and forcibly escorted Eddie Wise and his wife, who was still in bed and suffers from a debilitating medical condition, out of their home and off the land that they have owned for more than 20 years.
