It's a business

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 12/02/2013 - 9:23am

Modern times have seen us lose much of our innocence regarding notions of political figures being heroic and committed to serving the public and the good of the nation. To even say it almost sounds like the set up to a bad joke. There probably was a period in our history when the idea of becoming an elected official meant being humbled by the opportunity to serve the nation. There probably was a time when many in Washington woke up feeling overwhelmed with the idea they had another day serving their great nation. Of that I have no doubt.

Philippines: Where does the FOI campaign go from here?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 09/02/2013 - 12:54pm

Right to Know! Right Now!

Today, we close our people’s campaign for the passage of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Bill in the 15th Congress. We have, to the extent that our capacities and limited resources permitted, exhausted all avenues that we thought were open to us to get positive, decisive action from the leaders of the House of Representatives and from President Aquino no less.

Police state from sea to "The Shining" sea

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 09/02/2013 - 4:22am

See my documentations of a Police State out of control as exemplified by current events and by my own personal experiences with thugs of police, fbi, cia nationwide.

The current Los Angeles Police hunt against their own (Mr. Dorner) exemplifies many of my well documented points over the past twenty years, primarily that the police, fbi, cia are thugs, psychopathic liars, assassins, mass murderers and serial killers who are out of control against an expanding number and variety of Targets. The people like terrified lambs accept this ridiculous and pitiful state of affairs.
