CounterPunch: Bernie Sanders the Sheepdog

counterpunch goodThe “Sheepdog”, the Sheep and the Plantation: Why is the DNC Sending Out Pro-Bernie Sanders Emails?

EXTRACT

Here’s the Sanders in an ABC News interview with George Stephanopoulos from May 3:

STEPHANOPOULOS: So if you lose in this nomination fight, will you support the Democratic nominee?

SANDERS: Yes. I have in the past.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Not going to run as an independent?

SANDERS: No, absolutely not. I’ve been very clear about that.

Ironically, it seems that the DNC and left-critics of the Sanders campaign agree on a very important fact: they believe Sanders will attract a number of young voters and activists, then dutifully tell them to vote for Hillary when he drops out.

U.N.: More Than Half of World's Countries Spawning Jihadists

A highly disturbing new report from the United Nations asserts that more than half of the world's nations are now producing jihadist fighters to join the ranks of terrorist organizations in the Middle East. More than 25,000 mujahideen have joined the al-Qaida network and the Islamic State (ISIS) in recent years, creating an “unprecedented” and long-term threat to international security, according to the U.N. The report, prepared by the U.N. Security Council's special permanent committee for monitoring Islamic violence, “amounts to one of the most bleak and comprehensive assessments of the global foreign fighter phenomenon compiled yet,” the Financial Times stated. The authors of the report said their findings are based on detailed evidence from 27 intelligence and security services from around the globe.

SchwartzReports: Legal Truth – Filming Police

Civil Society, Ethics, Law Enforcement

Robert Greenwald and Vanessa Baden are two of the most respected documentarians in the the U.S., so they know whereof they speak about filming law enforcement in action. From my perspective of course a citizen can video his police in action. When I read about this issue   I am taken back 20 years to the old Soviet Union, when filming the police could get you into real trouble. Bullies and jackboots it goes without saying do not like to be filmed. They know what they are doing is morally wrong, whatever they say publicly. And they don't want their actions memorialized.  The fact that this is even a debated issue in the U.S.  tells you how compromised civil liberties have become. Greenwald and Baden present the case for why assess things as I do.

Mark R. Levin

Amending the Constitution?

By Joanna Daneman #1 HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER VINE VOICE on August 13, 2013

Mark Levin is a radio host and a Constitutional scholar. Invoking Article V of the Constitution, which sets out methods for amendments, Levin has proposed a number of changes to term limits, taxation, restoring states' power and more.

Phi Beta Iota: 34 States have asked for a Constitutional Convention. Congress — the two-party tyranny — is ignoring that demand and manipulating the data to conceal from the public the fact that a legitmate constitutional demand has been made.
