You want me to keep quiet and let kids be ripped off? While you were watching that video, did it ever cross your mind that maybe he wasn't presenting all the facts to you? You fell for it hook line and sinker? You didn't check to see if Kony was still in the country or maybe already dead? You didn't check to see if the money actually goes to help any of those kids or if it went right into the filmmakers pockets? You should have spent another 30 minutes doing some simple research. That's what I did. That's my responsibility to my students. It is not being civic when you are being manipulated to

The worst president on civil liberties? Then he makes excuses for him like the rest of you. There is no excuse... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV1k8np44KI

If you have the time watch this video. It will help you understand that an economic collapse is coming no matter what the unemployment numbers are or what your government leaders from the propaganda ministry say... Maybe it was not mentioned in the mainstream media, but folks were writing about the numbers being far worse than the ones being reported back then as well. The government is just under reporting the true number of folks who are out of work but have given up hope of finding employment. Just like the inflation figures. The old system, dumped back in the Reagan years I think

I figure you are asking that question because it might appear this is all I do. Well, you are partially correct. I am a US History, Civics and a Global Economics teacher. I do this stuff for a living. Bullshitting with you guys provides me with a forum to try out new shit. I am currently covering neocolonialism in my global class and some of the kids fell for the Kony video and donated money. I've tried to give them some info to help them make better decisions on how to spend their money so I had all these articles and videos stashed away for class use. I figured I'd use them here to get som

While you were all out celebrating St. Patrick's Day the president was busy protecting the Constitution... New Obama Executive Order Seizes U.S. Infrastructure and Citizens for Military Preparedness In a stunning move, on March 16, 2012, Barack Obama signed an Executive Order stating that the President and his specifically designated Secretaries now have the authority to commandeer all domestic U.S. resources including food and water. The EO also states that the President and his Secretaries have the authority to seize all transportation, energy, and infrastructure inside the United State

I already threw my hat in the ring many pages ago in this thread...

Well, at least I'm not making excuses for a war mongering regime. You can't change things until you admit there are changes to be made. Ignoring it or pretending your guy is less immoral than the other is only perpetuating the system you speak of. I don't know how anyone who has a conscious can vote for such things to continue. You can refuse to vote for the politicians put forward by the republicrats. You can refuse to donate your time and money to their campaigns. You can educate yourself and others to the alternatives. You've got to follow your principles. As the old Chinese proverb says, A

You are kidding me, right? Did you excuse this when Bush was in the White House? Wake up. They are both the same. Don't try passing the buck to NATO either. This article was written before the American serial killer soldier went on a rampage. We (current administration) are killing people every day (including kids) in Afghanistan and other countries and have been doing so for the past three years. Don't you watch the corporate controlled media? We are NATO and your tax dollars go towards the killing... The United States contributes between one-fifth and one-quarter of NATO's budget. In FY2

It's not exploitation when we sanction it. Maybe they can make a new film about these kids? White House Says Child Soldiers Are Ok, if They Fight Terrorists By Michelle Chen | ColorLines | November 15, 2010 The phenomenon of child soldiers, like genocide, slavery and torture, seems like one of those crimes that no nation could legitimately defend. Yet the Obama administration just decided to leave countless kids stranded on some of the world’s bloodiest battlegrounds. The administration stunned human rights groups last month by sidestepping a commitment to help countries curb the mil

Good read for all you progressives out there... Progressives and the Ron Paul fallacies By Glenn Greenwald The candidate supported by progressives — President Obama — himself holds heinous views on a slew of critical issues and himself has done heinous things with the power he has been vested. He has slaughtered civilians — Muslim children by the dozens — not once or twice, but continuously in numerous nations with drones, cluster bombs and other forms of attack. He has sought to overturn a global ban on cluster bombs. He has institutionalized the power of Presidents — in secret and wit

Well, it appears they have shut him down. His film shined too much light on the imperialist land grab. The film backfired on them and now they have to retreat back into the shadows or be exposed for what they truly are. Most actions in life are a result of conspiracies be they evil or good. These guys conspired to make a film with the backing of those who support imperialism in Africa. They have served their purpose and now will be silenced. It happens all the time.

No. The video backfired exposing the real motives behind AFRICOM and those seeking to exploit Central Africa for it's resources. The alternative media did it's homework and revealed the film for the propaganda piece it really is. The move to discredit the film has begun by those very same people who have the most lose by these disclosures. The video and it's backers like Russell will purposely be brought down to avoid more public scrutiny of what is happening over there. In another week you will never hear of Kony 2012 again. Keep those donations coming . Some background. Good video clip...

If you actually go to the website the hyper links take you to the source of their info. The site compiles legitimate economic figures and posts them in one place. That does not invalidate the information. It was more convenient to post links to that site for some of the information for the sake of saving time since I knew the info was posted there. They dropped folks who are unemployed long term but have given up looking for work in January so the unemployment numbers dropped.... http://www.shadowstats.com/

Sidewalks and street lights sure appear to be more important to you than the destruction of the Constitution.The same way they have always been built. It's a local issue and the local authorities can pay for them as they choose. Or you could start a sidewalk/lamp post company and build them yourself. Libertarianism doesn't mean there is no government, it means limited government. Look it up... Picture of the day...

Can the Secret Service Tell You To Shut Up? by Andrew P. Napolitano This abominable legislation enjoyed overwhelming support from both political parties in Congress because the establishment loves power, fears dissent and hates inconvenience, and it doesn't give a damn about the Constitution. It passed the Senate by unanimous consent, and only three members of the House voted against it. And the president signed it in secret. It is more typical of contemporary China than America. It is more George III than George Washington. Read more: http://lewrockwell.c...litano45.1.html The

Power to the sheeple...

So you are excusing him of his responsibility to veto such a bill? So he decided to just go along with it because a practice which is wrong should continue based on the fact that a precedent has been set to ignore the Constitution. You do know what is says in the Constitution about freedom of assembly, speech and the press don't you? I don't care if it is codifying current practice or not. If it is, that current practice is also unconstitutional and you should be very concerned about the president's position on that issue if you claim to desire liberty. The currently occupant of the White Hous

Joseph Kony resolution introduced in House By Stephanie Condon Two House lawmakers on Tuesday introduced a resolution supporting efforts to counter the Lord's Resistance Army, hoping to build on the momentum created by a viral YouTube video spotlighting the atrocities of LRA leader Joseph Kony. The resolution, introduced by Reps. Jim McGovern, D-Mass. and Ed Royce, R-Calif., calls for, among other things, expanding the number of regional forces in

Of this, nearly 25% was spent on travel and film-making. Most of the money raised has been spent in the US.
