…who has a broken arm. What a bully.
What you didn’t hear on the nooz….US Court rules in favor of contractor driven NSA
Again…it is really sad that I had to go outside the United States media to get this:
What judge would say that usurping the Constitution is okay?? Did they not read the Constitution in law school? Only the chicken littles say that this is okay. As the MI5 agent brought up, having the intelligence DID NOT prevent 9/11. So the assertion that Congress, and the Military Industrial Complex will stop another terrorist attack by the intel is bullsh*t. They have such a volume of information that they cannot possibly get through it all.
And the chicken littles who assert that they “have nothing to hide, so the Military Industrial Complex can spy on them all they want…” keep in mind that the Nazis threw good people into gas chambers. People who were not committing crimes. People who were good souls minding their own business….
Now are you still so smug?
“It’s definitely going down” says Grand Chief Stewart Phillip on Unist’ot’en Camp raid
It’s really telling when they say that the energy companies and the unistoten are in some sort of discussion. From everything I have read, they are NOT in discussions with them and as this article states — they have visited the unistoten camp over 90 times…trying to intimidate and harass them.
Unist’tot’en camp members stop surveyors, November 2012.
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs says RCMP officers have booked up hotel rooms in Burns Lake and Smithers, a firm indication of plans to invade the Unist’ot’en Camp in northwestern B.C.

B.C. RCMP claims it has “no intention” of moving against Unist’ot’en camp
RCMP at the Unist’ot’en camp speak with Unist’ot’en spokesperson Freda Huson, July 2015.
by Travis Lupick, The Georgia Straight, August 28th, 2015
Late Friday (August 28), the B.C. RCMP issued a statement denying it plans to move against a First Nations camp that stands in the path of oil and natural gas pipelines proposed to traverse the province.
As previously reported by the Straight, the B.C. Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) sent a letter to the RCMP warning against “an impending, and possibly large-scale, RCMP action in relation to the Unist’ot’en camp”. That followed the publication of a similar letter signed by a long list of organizations that range from environmentalists to civil-liberties advocates that’s titled, “We Stand with the Unist’ot’en”.

What to believe? Greedy teachers, a successful budget director, a warped news account, threat of a shutdown
Teacher pensions are bankrupting a state, the $30,000 per month budget consultant successfully saved the state, the legislature and governor still have no spending plan, the governor praised the consultant’s brilliant success, the consultant suddenly quits in triumph, the state faces a shut down by the governor for lack of budget funding – all in the same article in the Tribune.
This is not, unfortunately, a TV soap opera.
This what happens when corporate media propaganda disguises itself as news, as honest journalism.
This causes cognitive dissonance which causes stress and can lead to destructive behavior and damage to an individual’s mental health. On a mass delusional level, this can destroy a country’s ability to tell the difference between image and reality.
From the Chicago Tribune:
“(Illinois) Gov. Bruce Rauner’s “superstar” (Donna Arduin) $30,000-a-month budget consultant is leaving the administration as a stalemated state government continues without a spending…

Chris Hedges eulogy for a truly Christian friend…
All is not lost, my friends, although I certainly feel that the Dark ones are winning the spiritual war….
Rev. Burke sounds like he truly embraced what being a Christian means…modeling behavior after Jesus’ example. (And Mother Mary, Father Joseph, and Mary Magdalene, for that matter). Only God knows how many lives he influenced and how many he inspired to also take a cue from Jesus.
And I have to say that I don’t understand Chris Hedges’ love for boxing…as it does not jive with being a minister, in my opinion. Wanting to hurt another is not how I picture Jesus. And this is coming from someone who used to watch boxing in my young and stupid days of youth. One day I realized that hurting another for money and to ENTERTAIN others was not right.
It’s barbaric.
So, yeah, I don’t get that.
And it also bothers me that although Hedges has mouthed words in support of women, I see no women authors (except Dickinson) among those he listed. I also watched a video of he and Cornel West talking about women, but not including women.
The Native Americans believe that women are closer to God because of our ability to give life….and yet time and again, we have been left out of the conversation…out of governance…out of view…

New Orleans Recovery School District, ACT Outcomes, and Falling Through the Cracks
This post includes information on Louisiana’s Class of 2015 ACT scoring outcomes and is chiefly focused upon the Recovery School District (RSD) in New Orleans. It is as much a post about who in RSD is taking as it is about who is not.
According to the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) district enrollment counts for February 2015, Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB) enrollment is 13,173, and New Orleans RSD enrollment at 30,448.
In July 2015, Jessica Williams of Nola.com published information about the Louisiana’s Class of 2015 district ACT composite scores. In that article, Williams included a search engine for ACT composites related to schools and districts. Specifically, Williams’ search engine allows one to look up some schools/districts to see 1) the number of seniors who took the ACT, 2) the percentage of those seniors who scored at or above 20 on the ACT, and 3) the percentage of…

I am a mere instrument, the music is his
Dancing within and without; there are times, when I do mistake the dance to be mine
With inflated ego, I go round and round; being it all. both the dancer and the dance;
In those moments of seeking and enjoying fame, little do I remember the privilege that comes attached to the “I”;
The privilege of being born with both legs, the privilege of being in a household with enough to eat;
The privilege of having water coming out of the taps when need be; The privileged access to hear quality music;
The privilege of having a choice; the privilege of being able to make one;
Little do I remember; all that went into the making;
The background work that was put in by the invisible side-casts;
The roles that my grand-mother played by sacrificing her choice to put my father’s education first;
The role played by my dad’s sacrificing his choice…

Why Indiana has charter schools and Kentucky doesn’t
Indiana has one of the most active charter school programs in the nation while Kentucky has no charter schools, not even a law that allows them. How did that come about?
Sociologist Joe Johnston attributes the divergence to perceptions of public schools in the state’s biggest cities: negative for Indianapolis and generally positive for Louisville. And he traces those perceptions back to district boundary decisions made 40 years ago.
“It’s become so common to think of urban schools as failing, as these places that can’t possibly succeed,” he told me. “It’s interesting that, when you change the boundaries and have a different sort of school district, people can rally around that.”
Johnston, an assistant professor at Gonzaga University, conducted research on the history of charter school debates in Indiana and Kentucky as a graduate student at Indiana University, where he received a doctorate in May. He presented his study Saturday…
