The endless war: the “war on terror” without any geographic boundaries, time frame or even the necessity to have a well defined enemy. The blood thirsty machine that is the US industrial-military complex makes billion at all three phases of the war industry process: the manufacturing of ever more lethal and complex weapon systems, the destruction stage, and then finally the occupation and rebuilding phase in countries such as Germany, Japan, Korea, and more recently Iraq and Afghanistan. This war machine and its political associates always needs new conflicts.

"These sorts of abuses are likely to continue until there are adequate safeguards to assure accountability."

General Motors is halting, for a month, the manufacture of its well-known but seldom-sold Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric car, according to trade publication Automotive News.

Police said the student's mother knew about and allowed her daughter and the teacher to engage in the sexual conduct at her residence. She is a child social worker. I am sure the prosecutor blew a gasket on this one....

Why is the GOP Establishment so scared of a Ron Paul nomination? Romney has it in the bag, Dr. Paul doesn't have a hope in hell. The conventional wisdom is they want to present the party 100% behind Romney. Gee, would acknowledging there was some competition for the job be that damaging? By sabotaging the Paul campaign throughout the process they exposed themselves as corrupt. If they played by the GOP rules with Ron Paul, there would be a minor contest, Romney would still have won, and most of the the Republican rank and file would fall in behind Romney.

"RNC is attempting to change the 5 state rule and de-credential the entire Maine delegation only 4 days before the Republican National Convention." After watching the fraud, coercion, and duplicity on the part of the GOP establishment this year, I have to wonder "why don't they just throw out their rule book and make Romney the candidate by decree?"

Compromise = Defeat.

What's with all of this compromising with the RNC over the Tampa convention? Really? The supporters of the non-compromising Ron Paul are supposed to compromise now?

The fact that your vote will not change the results actually is a great plus for you! Now you can simply vote your conscience and not have to worry about your "vote being wasted". Voting for someone or some issue that you don't really believe in is really unethical. For most people, to do so is upsetting and shameful. So, don't bother. Number 1, do your duty and vote and number 2, vote your conscience. I think you will feel a whole lot better about it.

The New Zapatistas. Vice News goes to Cherán, an indigenous rebel town located in the southwestern state of Michoacán, Mexico, to celebrate the first anniversary of their fight against organized crime and the local municipal government. The townspeople have banned all political propaganda within the town and refused to participate in the presidential elections that were held this past July.

A federal agency known as NOAA literally steals mans boat and livelihood even after federal judge ruled against them. NOAA just ignored a federal judges ruling. It just so happens, in an odd bit of good fortune for the NOAA, that the money corruptly stolen from the NOAA's victims is then used to furnish lavish party boat cruises for NOAA employees and their kin.
