Apparently not. Caught on Camera: 10 Shockingly Violent Police Assaults on Occupy ProtestersProbably 97 percent of police act professionally toward protesters. But the other 3 percent are armed and dangerous, and know that they're unlikely to be held accountable.

The corporate media, which can only be trusted to provide the finest propaganda money can buy, keeps telling us that the occupiers have never told us what they want.  That is an outright lie.  Herein is the truth. The Demands are a work in progress, so this is a dynamic situation.  I have captured a snapshot on 27 Oct 2011.  See Occupy Wall Street - Official Demands for the current state of the

The following declaration was released by the General Assembly of Occupy Wall Street last Wednesday, 5 October. I decided to publish it here to preserve it in the public record. I find that this declaration speaks for me as if I had been there to help create it. What follows is the first official, collective statement of the protesters in Zuccotti Park: As we gather together in solidarity to

Interesting news from Steve Schappert of the facebook BIOS Watercar group: Steve Schappert & Steve Melycher (Steve Squared) of the BIOS Organization in Brookfield will be driving a ’72 Mustang cross country with a hydrogen generator that produces hydrogen on demand that has tripled gas mileage in similar vehicles. They will be meeting with other Hydrogen experts along the way and asking them to

UPDATED.  OK.  I got tired of measuring the spices for each pot of tea.  My experiments led me to this recipe which makes a bit more than a half cup (~6 fl. oz.) of spice blend.  Add about 1/2 to 2/3 teaspoons of this blend to 3 tsp. of black tea and steep for 10 minutes in boiling water in a prewarmed teapot for 24 fl. oz. of tea.  Note that spice ratios have been tweaked from Sunday's recipe.

This is a recipe for Masala Chai (tea). In Hindi, masala means spice and chai means tea so we are talking spice tea here.  While I am very fond of Stash's Chai teas, I am a loose tea person. Teabags are filled with tea fannings or tea leaves that have been milled into tiny pieces which loose their aromatic components vary quickly. This is particularly noticeable in teas with delicate flavors

Objectivists, Tea Party Protesters, the Religious Wrong (Christofascists), and Neocons (fascists) are all Self-Servatives that refuse to acknowledge that they have responsibilities to other people in society by virtue of being a member of society. They claim to be self contained and not responsible for anyone else because they neither ask for or take anything from others in society. They do not

I specialize in writing about stories that our corporate propaganda machinery, that pretends to be a news media, are ignoring. Ignoring stories is the most subtle form of propaganda. These stories include, but are not limited to, election integrity, censorship, illegal spying on citizens, war crimes of the US government, war protests, health care issues that are being suppressed such as the

My friend Lee Stranahan has put together a wonderful video which describes what we need to be doing right now in order to get the kind of Health Care reform that we need. This not quite four minutes of video will tell you everything you need to know.The insurance lobby does not want true reform. They only care that their profits be protected.

The delusional Christofascist Randall Terry does not grok the separation of church and state. At all. He apparently thinks that the founding fathers intended the United States to be Fundamentalist Christian Republic, a theocracy, in spite of all of their writings which say the exact opposite. Never let reality impede your ideology.Randi Rhodes seemed a bit harsh unless you consider that she

I've already awarded this white supremacist bigot a Heads on Pikes Award for his blatant racism. This man is a living fossil, a throwback to the 50s when white men ruled everything and everyone else 'knew their place'. Pat stumbles exceedingly slowly towards the tar pit that awaits him. I wish someone would just hurl him in and stop our torture. His 'ideology' is a vicious toxic cesspool

On IdeologiesWith liberals, opinions are constantly in flux since they are updated with every input of fresh data. This is something that conservatives fail to grok.Conservatives usually have opinions based on an ideology. These opinions tend to be static since the ideology that is their base evolves very slowly, if at all.Liberal ideology (which is almost an oxymoron) is a very loose set of

An organization called the International Cultic Studies Association has been studying cults for a very long time and two of its members, Dr. Janja Lalich and Dr. Michael D.

These criteria were the characteristics they found common to all cults that they had studied and are now commonly used to

Trusting the Main Stream News Media is foolish at best. Most people are well aware that Fox News Channel is untrustworthy since documentaries such as OUTFOXED have shown how they use every propaganda technique known to twist the 'truth' into whatever 'truth' they want.
