Getting What We NEED!

Getting What We NEED!

Watch the Youtube video of the Cawthra Park Secondary School Choir opening the song for the Rolling Stones. The choir starts to sing and is almost completely drowned out by the crowd noise. Slowly, gradually, something begins to happen. The beauty and purity of their united voices as one, silences the crowd. The choir is split into two groups, left and right. Just as we the people have been split into a left and right, knowing that something is rotten in Denmark or Wall Street, separately searching for answers. Then the shear beauty and power of the choir as one wins the day. Our challenge is to come together and fight for what we need and want for our society.

But if you try sometime,

Mourning 100 Years of Usury under The Fed

Nick Egnatz — Sat, 21 Dec 2013 14:49:27 +0000

December 23 marks the tragic 100th anniversary of the private Federal Reserve System, when the U.S. government gave to a private banking cartel that which no government has the right to give away--the sovereign right of a people to create and control their own money, the very lifeblood of a free and independent people.

"The Congress shall have The Power To...coin Money...", Article 1, Section 8, U.S. Constitution.

Contrary to what most Americans think, the Federal Reserve System is not a part of the U.S. government. Rather it is network of private banking corporations, wholly controlled by a handful of Wall Street mega "too big to fail" banking corporations. Anyone doubting their absolute power should hearken to Assistant Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin of Illinois 2009 statement following the financial crash and the inability of Congress to regulate these banking corporations, "frankly they (banks) own the place (Capital Hill)."

America Needs The NEED Act

America Needs The NEED Act

Today our politicians squabble over healthcare legislation passed years ago and in a few more days their fight will be over the federal deficit. For the 95th time in the last 67 years, Congress and the President will be confronted with passing legislation to raise the "debt ceiling". What citizens should know is that our country can pay off its debt as it comes due, put millions of people back to work rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, provide debt free federal support for cash-strapped State governments, provide interest free funds for local governments and in addition give all Americans a Citizens' Dividend payment--putting immediate cash in the hands of all our citizens and thus giving our beleaguered small businesses what they need, customers with cash to spend on their goods and services.

Rolling Stone fluff on Boston Marathon bombing

Rolling Stone Fluff on Boston Marathon Bombing

Rolling Stone magazine has a picture of indicted Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the Aug 1, 2013 cover with a detailed feature piece "Jahar's World"[1] inside, written by Rolling Stone editor Janet Reitman. After reading many excellent articles on the financial machinations of the Wall Street banksters in Rolling Stone by Matt Taibbi, I certainly expected more than the Rolling Stone and Ms Reitman delivered.

Boston Marathon Bombing Questions

BostonMarathon Bombing Questions

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark." InHamlet Shakespeare introduced us to the smell test. It would behoove us to apply the same test to the Boston Marathon Bombing.

On April 15, 2013 two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon while the city of Boston enjoyed its annual celebration of Patriot Day. Three people died and 264 were injured by the bombs which exploded 210 yards apart and 13 seconds apart.[i] Three days later the FBI asked the public for assistance in identifying the two persons of interest carrying backpacks and walking through the crowd near the finish line on released surveillance camera video.

Transform Now Plowshares

Who Are the Real Criminals?

Who Are the Real Criminals?

83 year old nun, Sister Megan Rice and two other peace activists, Michael Walli and Greg Boertje-Obed were convicted and could be sentenced to 20 year for breaking into a Tennessee storage facility for depleted uranium weapons and splashing them with blood. They are members of the group Transform Now Plowshares that lives the words of the Bible "They shall beat their swords into plowshares. They shall learn war no more."

With skyrocketing cancer rates and birth defects, the city of Fallujah, Iraq has never recovered from the 2004 U.S. assault on it using depleted uranium munitions. A study by the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health states that the after effects of the Fallujah assault are "worse" than those after the U.S. nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Radicalize For Peace

Radicalize for Peace

The official storyline on the Boston Marathon bombing paints a picture of Tamerlan Tsarnaeva being "radicalized".

The official storyline also ignores the fact that neither Tamerlan's all black backpack nor his brother Dzhokar's mostly white backpack resemble the blown up backpack which was black with a white rectangle on the top (probably a logo). The official storyline also refuses to ask or answer any questions whatsoever about the presence of at least 7 individuals near the bombing site dressed as Craft International mercenaries. At least two of these individuals are wearing black backpacks and at least one of these black backpacks has a white rectangle on the top similar to the one on the backpack that held one of the bombs. This has all been documented by independent journalist David Lindorff at ThisCantBeHappening.net
