Yes, there is a revolution going on right now in the Ukraine. The Ukrainian people are waking up and are wanting to take their country back from Jewish oppression...

Should The Post Office Offer Banking Services?
You're probably aware that crooked multimillionaire Darrell Issa (R-CA)-- a car thief, street thug and arsonist-for-profit-- has been working on a plan to abolish the post office on behalf of his allies at for-profit delivery systems at FedEx and UPS. We are potentially just one election away where Republicans get the power to irreversibly shutter the American postal service. Senator Elizabeth Warren has come up with a proposal that would save the post office and provide basic, crucial banking services for millions of underserved families who have no checking or savings accounts.... more »
Locust
Early white settlers on the high plains of the western U.S. were always bummed out when colossal swarms of locusts dropped by for lunch. The sky would darken, and the land would be filled with the roaring buzz of millions of fluttering wings. Within an hour or so, everything was covered with them, including the settlers, who frantically tried to brush off the hundreds of hungry insects that were chewing apart their clothing. They were Rocky Mountain locusts, a North American species that lived west of the Mississippi — and the stars of Jeffrey Lockwood’s book, *Locust*. When swa... more »

In One Month, Everyone In Iceland Will Own Cryptocurrency
*Our data indicates Bitcoin is already in the control of the US Treasury and The Bank of England. What's key to remember about cryptocurrency is that while they discourage inflation of the currency (through difficulty of mining new digital coins - and who audits that anyway?) they do not address the paradigm that the people are the value. The use of cryptocurrency does not address the issue of the hypothecation of the value of human beings and their assets without their knowledge that they are the value - the basis of the current slavery systems.

Putin, Tchaikovsky, snowboarding and the BBC
Did you watch the opening ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics? The BBC broadcast it live yesterday on BBC Two.

BBC One wouldn't do for the Sochi Olympics.

Philippine Navy and Sangley Point
A friend in facebook, Dr. Aileen Baviera, an academic in UP and researcher on foreign policy and military affairs, rode a Philippine Navy chopper yesterday and took photos, posted in facebook. I have seen Sangley Point from a distance via commercial plane, but I have never been there. Nice photos. The skyscrapers of Manila-Makati-Pasay-Paranaque, seen from Sangley Point, Cavite. Not many battle ships anchored there that day. Maybe the other ships are in Mindanao, Palawan, and near the Spratlys, Scarborough/Masinloc areas.

Dieudonné on 'Newsnight'

FocusTW: Ko/Lien Match for Taipei shaping up
*On the 159A between Shijhuo and Chiayi city.* The gov't news organ FocusTaiwan rounds up some stuff on the Ko-Lien match: Although neither major party has nominated a candidate, outspoken surgeon Ko Wen-je could very well represent the opposition in the election for Taipei mayor in late November and face Sean Lien, who would try to retain the Kuomintang's (KMT) hold on the city. When Lien was shot in the face on the eve of the previous municipal election four years ago, it was Ko who led a team of medical experts at National Taiwan University Hospital to operate on him.

By 2029, people will have personal relationships with conscious machines, he said, and use them as companions, teachers, caretakers, and lovers.

The Canadian Institute of Diversity and Inclusion has released a video promoting LGBT rights with respect to Olympic athletes, a public condemnation of Russia's anti gay laws. Gay and lesbian rights have become centre stage at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics - largely because of Russia's new draconian communist era laws which have brought gay bashing back to the forefront of Russian politics.

How Long Will This Economic Holocaust By the Uber-Wealthy Go On? How Long Will We Allow It To?
Why There’s No Outcry By Robert Reich People ask me all the time why we don’t have a revolution in America, or at least a major wave of reform similar to that of the Progressive Era or the New Deal or the Great Society.

Putin on the Ritz
There's nothing like an Olympics in your little burg to make the authorities heel to. Back in the old days, the world press that descended on their soil was alone enough to make even the most inhuman tyrants temporarily cease and desist their brutal tactics. Before and during the Berlin Olympics of 1936, Adolph Hitler personally ordered a moratorium on the roundup of gays and systemic crackdown on Jews. While the international media was still in Berlin that summer, local residents remarked seeing a dramatic decline in the quantity of anti-Semitic posters. Now there's somet... more »

"a particular viewpoint on life"
Conservative Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has been quoted in some of the newspapers today for his criticism of the BBC. Some of the coverage make it sound as if he savaged the BBC - which he didn't; in fact, he was rather charitable towards the corporation. (Rather *too* charitable I'd say.) This then is what Mr Grayling actually said: I think the real problem for the BBC is not that there is an intentional bias at senior levels, not that it is institutionally biased against us. But it’s that there is a cultural leaning towards the Left. The people who work at the BBC have a... more »

Legislating Apathy
Yesterday, the Harper Party moved to limit debate on its so called Fair Elections Act. Three days, they said, is all it should take to debate the bill. The reason for the three day limit is abundantly clear: the longer the bill is exposed to sunlight, the more its real intention becomes clear: “A big part of this bill is about voter suppression,” NDP deputy leader David Christopherson told The Huffington Post Canada. Young people, aboriginals and low-income Canadians are being unfairly targeted by a bill that the Conservatives have labelled the Fair Elections Act, the NDP argued.... more »

Ukraine: can U.S., U.N. meddle with it while [having coitus with] EU?
Some comments related to Russia and Ukraine. First, Madonna introduced the two freed Pussy Riot members in Brooklyn. She said that thanks to them, "pussy" became a sayable word in her household. Her 8-year-old kids are learning to speak and they are already saying "pussy" all the time, making their mom proud. Madonna's behavior is an example of the pure cluelessness of the mass culture's "celebrities" about politics. Hours after the concert, the two Russian women were finally freed. More precisely, they were fired by Pussy Riot, i.e. by its remaining members (Cat, Garage, Headlamp... more »
Don’t Make These 10 Easily Avoidable Mistakes That Can Get You Fired

German Constitution Court finds OMT exceeds Central Bank's powers - "There are important reasons to assume that [the OMT] exceeds the European Central Bank's monetary policy mandate and thus infringes the powers of the member states, and that it violates the prohibition of monetary financing of the budget," the German court said Friday. "Subject to the interpretation by the Court of Justice of the European Union, the Federal Constitutional Court considers the OMT decision incompatible with primary law," the German court said........ Questions still abound as to what this decision actually means !

For now, interest rate action suggests otherwise. We will explore the case for implosion but first consider this chart of 10-year sovereign bonds. *Portugal 10-Year Sovereign Debt Yield* One certainly could have made a fortune plowing into 10-year Portuguese bonds.

CERN may sometimes build its bigger SSC
*It would beat the cancelled collider in Texas* Physics World mentions a conference in Geneva that will start next Wednesday. Some important personalities will be discussing the long-term future ambitious plans of CERN. The LHC is the small circle at the top. Its Southern "endpoint" could touch a new ring of circumference of 80-100 kilometers. Note that the SSC in Texas that was abolished in 1993 was supposed to have circumference 87.1 km so the proposed CERN collider is exactly in the same size category. The SSC was supposed to boast energies 2 times 20 TeV (i.e. 40 TeV center-o... more »

Do you have this uncomforable feeling that your financial situation has been declining since 2008? We know that those on Wall Street who caused the financial crash are thriving while those on mainstreet are struggling. If you buy a home for $100,000 it will likely have cost $250,000 once your loan is paid off. So taxpayers are paying more to those that financed the project than to those that built it. Are you alright with that? Well, there is an answer: Public Banks.
