Age Segregation Spurs Ugly Family Divide

Learning is either a two-way street or a dead-end run. We can drive that engine!

(SALEM) - Why are we perpetrating putting the generations into tiny little compartments? We seem to be shortsighted in the long run, making a mockery of family connections.

I grant you that this writer is from the 1950's generation of Ozzie and Harriet in which grandparents and grandchildren live in the same area. My own childhood was spent in Brooklyn during and after WW II. Living with grandparents and a single aunt as well as a teen uncle made life mighty interesting.

Agreement Permanently Blocks Most of the Law’s Worst Provisions, Strictly Limits Racial Profiling Provision.

A similar agreement is being entered in a case brought by the U.S. Department of Justice and also in one brought by church leaders. Both agreements are pending final approval by the court.

House Floor Vote This Week on Derivatives Bill Written by Citigroup Lobbyists ( HR 992)

Citigroup has given $503,150 to current members of the House of Representatives.

(BERKELEY) - Later this week, the House of Representatives will be voting on a bipartisan bill to repeal financial bailout protections that Congress passed in 2010 as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

The bill, H.R. 992 or the "Swaps Regulatory Improvement Act," would severely limit the reach of Sec. 716 in Dodd-Frank, which requires banks that are eligible for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Federal Reserve lending discounts to spin off their derivatives activities into separate corporate entities that would not be eligible for federal assistance.

American Police Now `Israeli-DHS Trained,` Precursor to Dictatorship

Slowly, every police department in the United States, at the behest of the Department of Homeland Security, is being trained by Israeli groups.

They are becoming “Israeli.”

The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy - Exploit Animation to Weave a Malicious Social Satire

"The younger kids just end playing habits, lifestyles, relationships, type of music and modes that do not correspond to their age". - AUC Magazines

(MADRID) - For the kids, no new technology is competing with television, which has become an accomplice of amusements, distraction and happiness. Neither consoles or video games, or mobile phone.

If new technologies are so important in the development of the kids, do we parents know how much time spend our children in front of the TV? Do we know the content they watch?

Press TV - The Debate (Topic Syria) Ken O`Keefe vs. Lee Kaplan

Enjoy these dinosaurs while they are still around because their days of utility in a world waking up are clearly numbered.

(LONDON) - Lee Kaplan provides a classic example of the propagandists methods, divert, make personal attacks, revert to tired historical myths like America liberated Europe in World War II so as to imply the massive crimes during WWII and since do not matter.

I hope to be in a debate with Lee many more times as he provides one gift after another in terms of providing material that exposes the shallow, baseless foundation of lies that our global system of tyranny is built upon.

Assassinated DEA Agent Kiki Camarena Fell in a CIA Operation Gone Awry, Say Law Enforcement Sources

He Was Killed, They Say, Because 'He Knew Too Much' About Official Corruption in the Drug War

(LAS CRUCES , NM) - DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena was abducted in early February 1985 shortly after leaving the US consulate in Guadalajara, Mexico. His body was found several weeks later, partially decomposed, wrapped in a plastic death shroud and buried in a shallow grave some 70 miles north of the Mexican city.

One of the chief architects of Camarena’s kidnapping, brutal torture and ultimate death, Rafael Caro Quintero, was released prematurely on Aug. 9 from a Mexican prison, by order of a Mexican federal court, after having served 28 years of a 40-year-sentence for the crime. His release caused an outcry among US law enforcers and officials, who contend his freedom is an affront to justice and to the memory of Camarena.

The more guns there there are in America, the greater the likelihood that people are going to get shot. (Philip Van Cleave) John Oliver That's my point!

(CALGARY) - Phillip van Cleave is the President of the Virginia Citizens Defense League. He surprisingly makes an argument for gun control.

My original thought was to post this a a short humor piece, showing how gun nuts are so mentally confused that they can't even argue effectively. Look at the first part at 5 minutes where Van Cleave makes Oliver's point for him.
