On Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010, the “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear” hit the National Mall, in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, Peace and Justice activists from CODEPINK were putting on a colorful Alice-in-Wonderland skit not far from the main stage of the event. It addressed some of comedian John Stewart’s recent politically naive and thoughtless remarks about the honorable work of antiwar activists in this country to end immoral and illegal wars, occupations, and torture. Medea Benjamin, co founder of CODEPINK, shared her views about Stewart’s “do nothing” attitude towards aegrerious wrongdoings and also the paramount need for the U.S. Congress “to stop funding these ‘crazy’ wars!” For background, see: http://www.commondreams.org/view/2010/10/27-6

For decades in Washington, D.C., a secretive group known as The Family has been working behind the scenes to empower a few select politicians, and to influence the decisions that shape our country. Not only has this group operated in almost complete secrecy, but they've also skewed Christianity to the point where they believe that God wants us to take care of the rich and powerful more than the poor and hungry. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. talks about this secret Family in Washington with Jeff Sharlet, author of the new book "C Street: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy."

noofs1 University of Michigan Campus. On October 20 2010, two IDF soldiers came to the University of Michigan campus as part of a national PR campaign by Stand With Us aimed at justifying Israel's recent atrocities in the Middle East. Students, staff, and community members collectively engaged in a silent walk-out in memory and in solidarity with all of the silenced Palestinian children that were killed by the IDF during Israel's most recent offensive on the Gaza Strip who are unable to take a stand and give their account today.
