America has merchants of death too, selling weapons of war to both sides of any conflict. This is about the new world order using their big stick America, to bully Russia. They have arrested and transported a Russian citizen into the United States, to try him by American laws and imprison him possibly for the rest of his life. There is an old saying: Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house. Russia is a powerful nation, perhaps the most powerful on earth. The tiny clique that controls America is playing a dangerous game.

Chris Hedges - American wars will continue until the country's giant corporations, which pay the politicians in Washington's corridors of power, become financially unsustainable, says senior fellow at the Nation Institute, Chris Hedges. Hedges told Press TV's U.S. Desk in a Wednesday interview that the economy will fail "because we're paying for it through debt, through borrowing." "Well the fact is like that ... like most wars this is the business. Unlike previous wars we have privatized many of the functions that the traditional military used to do and whether the wars go badly, we're certainly losing the war in Afghanistan," he pointed out. "And I think it ultimately has been covered in the New York Times that [the Afghan] war is also unwinnable. It doesn't really matter. There are huge corporations whose profits [have] swollen four by four," Hedges said. "The continuation of these conflicts is good for their bottom-line. That's why we're seeing very little reticence on the part of the government which knows how drastic the situation is in Afghanistan to pull back because the people who hold the ultimate power in the United States, which are corporations want these wars to continue," he went on to say. http://www.presstv.ir/usdetail/160995.html

Virginia Cody -- a retired Air Force officer and anti-drilling activist -- was shocked to mistakenly receive a bulletin from the Pennsylvania Homeland Security Director describing the monitoring of several anti-drilling groups. The bulletin revealed that Virginia and other anti-drilling activists who were peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights were included in state "anti-terrorism" reports. Unfortunately, Virgina'a story is not unique. Similar law enforcement behavior has taken place in at least 33 states and Washington D.C. u.org/national-security/domestic-spying-victim-virginia-cody | http://www.aclu.org/national-security/domestic-spying-victim-virginia-cody

On Friday, January 21, 2011, activists with the “Movement for the People” staged a “ceremony” despite a wind chill index of 14 degrees, on the east side of the U.S. Capitol. It mocked the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, “Citizens United.” This pro-Big Business verdict held that corporations, under the First Amendment to the Constitution, can be permitted to make contributions for the benefit a candidate in an election, as part of their “political speech rights,” as if they were a person.

On January 17, 2011, Peace and Social Justice activists staged a spirited demonstration in front of the national headquarters of the FBI, in Washington, D.C. They demanded the FBI keep its “hands off our activists.” This is in reference to recent FBI harassment and raids on the homes/offices of activists in Chicago, Minneapolis and Michigan. They also demanded the release of Bradley Manning. Currently, he is imprisoned at the U.S. Marine base, at Quantico, VA. I talked with Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst, at the demonstration. He sharply criticized U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s view of the law. And with respect to the treatment of Bradley Manning, and other issues, too, he asked: “Where is the Justice?” To learn more, go to: http://www.defendingdissent.org/action/Events.htm
