On Monday morning, July 30, 2013, in front of the historic Candler Building, in Baltimore, MD, I interviewed Dr. Margaret Flowers. She is a long-time advocate of a Medicare-for-All Healthcare system. The Candler Building was the first operational headquarters of the Social Security Administration in this country. It dates back to 1936. In 1965, the U.S. Congress passed the Medicare law.

Today, Dr. Flowers underscored “is Medicare’s 48th anniversary.” She predicted that Obamacare will be found to be “totally inadequate” and will simply “privatize” the system even further. Dr. Flowers labeled Obamacare a “win for the corporations,” which she insisted are part of the for-profit, “Medical-Industrial Complex.” About “45,000” people die each year, Dr. Flowers continued, because they lack healthcare. It is estimated that between 47 and 50 million citizens in this country don’t have any healthcare coverage at all and that bankruptcies related to failure to pay medical bills are on the rise.

Dr. Flowers concluded by saying that the for-profit Medical-Industrial Complex is “standing in the way” of a just and equitable “Medicare-for-All” healthcare system - a “human right” for all Americans.

This historical video shows a mainstream Israeli news-site, YNET NEWS and a courageous Jewish writer who discusses who led the worst genocide and mass murder of all time. It shows the ethnic hatreds behind much of the communist genocide and the same mindset that accompanies the genocide against the Palestinians and the genocide against Israel's biggest enemy at the time, Iraq, which was instigated by America under the control of Zionist extremists such as Madeline Albright. In the video, Zionist extremist Albright, blatantly endorses the murder 500,000 children in Iraq. One of the most eye-opening, powerful videos you will ever see.

The first video represents respect for freedom and human rights to the point of self endangerment on the part of the police. The second video represents the furthest extreme of police state and repression.

The first video takes place in Moscow, the capitol city of Russia. A Dagestani street vendor suspected of rape refuses to be arrested and wrestles with two policemen who are excessively gentle, tolerant, and patient with him. A third policeman is being attacked by the street vendor's wife, who punches and slaps him repeatedly. The officer does nothing to restrain her and tries only to keep her separated from her husband. Her husband breaks free from the other officers and runs over to his wife and the lone officer and pulls an iron sphere out of his pocket and hits the young policeman in his forehead fracturing his scull and sending him to the pavement seriously injured. The other two officers do not draw their guns, but decide instead to let the street vendor go free.

Later the Russian authorities have a change of heart and remove five policeman from their jobs including a captain, which is something that is never done in America, where hundreds of thousands of cases of police brutality and incompetence are routinely swept under the rug every year, and where police are almost never punished or fired for their actions.

The young policeman who suffered the impression in his skull will undergoes a difficult and dangerous surgery to recover the appearance of his face and take the pressure off of his brain. The Russian authorities in Moscow arrested over 300 Dagestanis in their search for the man who hit the policeman and caught him. He had shaved off his beard and was attempting to leave Moscow. In this video interview the man says he fears for his life and thinks he will meet his end in the Russian prison system.

The entire incident is a terrible tragedy for both the young policeman who suffered the injury to his head and face and the young Dagestani street vendor who's life will probably be destroyed because of a moment of foolishness and anger.

In the second video a few people started dancing in the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C., the Capitol city of America. Some were roughly thrown to the ground, handcuffed behind their backs and hauled away to jail. One old black man with a large unwieldy video camera was herded from the monument brusquely while other onlookers with cell phones were allowed to record unhindered. Eventually all the bewildered and disillusioned tourists were forced to vacate the monument. So it would seem that in America to dance in certain places is a serious enough crime for police to throw people to the ground, handcuff them and haul them away to jail to await trial and possible imprisonment.

A tank had parked in front of the house, where around 30 people were taking shelter. The women and children - mother, grandmother and three little girls - came out waving a white flag and then, he said, an Israeli soldier came out of the tank and opened fire on the terrified procession. Samar's two sisters, aged seven and two, were shot dead. The grandmother was hit in the arm and in the side, but has survived. New evidence of Gaza child deaths

The Charles Theatre, in Baltimore, is presenting the film, “Dirty Wars.” It features investigative journalist, Jeremy Scahill, and it deals with how America conducts its many and far-flung “covert wars.” On Friday night, July 26th, Peace activist and author David Swanson shared his views on the film with me. Later, he also led a discussion with the audience about it. To learn more about the movie, go to: https://www.facebook.com/DirtyWars.

On Monday evening, July 22, 2013, Heather Mizeur, a progressive Democrat and a member of the House of Delegates from Montgomery County, held a fundraiser in Baltimore City. She is running for the office of Governor and is the first openly Gay candidate to ever do so. The event was held at Station North Arts Cafe Gallery on North Charles Street, near North Avenue. Co-owner Kevin Brown acted as the host for the happening. One of the issues in remarks to her supporters, Ms. Mizeur promised to address, when elected governor, “is reforming the criminal justice system.” Many social justice activists will recall that she was a staunch opponent, along with many in the community, of the O’Malley-Brown plan to build a $70 million youth jail facility in the city. That misguided proposal was eventually abandoned. To learn more about Ms. Mizeur’s candidacy, go to: http://www.heathermizeur.com/about-heather.

America and their zionist masters will continue to mass murder Palestinians and the people of the world in endless wars which profit the jewish owned international banking system and military industrial complex. Their power over monetary systems and systems of government has grown beyond humanities control. It's too late to stop the 'master race'. We can't even speak out against their actions or we will be accused of 'antisemitism'. They use this word to silence all criticism. They want us to accept that they run and own the world and have a special right to kill that no other people on earth have.

.that's the title of reporter Matt Taibbi's new article for Rolling Stone magazine. In the piece, Matt writes, quote, "Nobody goes to jail. This is the mantra of the financial-crisis era, one that saw virtually every major bank and financial company on Wall Street embroiled in obscene criminal scandals that impoverished millions and collectively destroyed hundreds of billions, in fact, trillions of dollars of the world's wealth." We have two-and-a-half million people in jail in the USA, more than a million who are in jail for nonviolent crimes. And yet, we couldn't find a single person on Wall Street to do even a day in jail for losing 40 percent of the world's wealth in a criminal fraud scheme? And that tells you that we have—this goes beyond the cliché that rich people have better lawyers and they have an advantage. This is a step beyond that. This is a situation where the system is completely corrupted, and it's true regulatory capture. The SEC and the Justice Department are essentially subsidiaries of Wall Street.

Death of the Liberal Class is a non-fiction book by American author and journalist Chris Hedges published in October 2010 by Nation Books. It falls into the literary genre of the jeremiad, which has a long tradition in the United States. According to Hedges, it is a book that chronicles the destruction of populist and radical movements within society, particularly in the United States.[1] Since these movements are the principal force by which democratic societies "open up", Death of the Liberal Class argues that social movements, which provided "all the true correctives to American democracy", have been undercut by corporate co-opting of the traditional liberal forces of the USA, notably the labor unions, press, churches, universities and the Democratic Party. The "liberal class" consists of the people who fill the ranks of these institutions, ie., journalists, clergy, teachers, and politicians.
