Van Jones is authentic. He was fired as a convenience by the white-half of Barack Obama, the half that is slicker than goose shit on a hot day. The black half of Obama, the authentic half that “would no more renounce Reverend Wright than my own mother,” that half has been bought off and silenced.
We are absolutely persuaded that 9-11 was allowed to happen by Dick Cheney, and that Larry Silverstein knew in advance and took advantage of the event to solve his asbestos problem by murdering 3,000 citizens with controlled demolitions. Rudy Gulliani, the insurance exceutives in on the fraud, and a handful of others who benefited from removing high value items in advance as well as the destruction of the files for on-going SEC investigations, all of this a Wall Street wet dream.
Here are several YouTube videos that we consider absolutely compelling. From Truth, We the People are Made Powerful (E Veritate Potens). We now know that the government lied to us about the Kennedy and King assasinations, about the Tonkin Gulf attacks, about the Israeli murderous attack on the USS Liberty, and many other things of great import. It is time We the People restored the Republic, honest government, and a respect for the Truth.
The unemployment rate as I write is inching toward 10 percent nationally, and that is only counting people who were still looking for a job recently. A vast bank robbery by the corrupt on Wall Street has deprived them of the credit that made the economy go. Labor Day was passed by Congress under Grover Cleveland to celebrate not only the individual American laborer but the labor movement– yes, unions, workers' parades, hard hats and blue jeans (before the youth movement of the 1960s appropriated them, blue jeans were working class clothing, and my working class relatives upbraided me for wearing them as an undergraduate). It is to celebrate all those icons that shills for the barracuda billionaires, such as Glenn Beck, now castigate as “fascist” and “communist.” It is to celebrate what Carl Sandberg did in his poem, “Chicago:”
Hog Butcher for the World, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler; Stormy, husky, brawling, City of the Big Shoulders;
And of course, the home-makers and retail workers who move the manufactured goods and the teachers are all doing the hard foundational work as well.
Who is not working are the Wall Street thieves who have largely gone unpunished or been actively rewarded for their peculation.
Now Americans have convinced themselves that we don't have a working class. Everybody is middle class, even those who make minimum wage in the fast food industry, or those who are kept as part-timers so that the store (I'm looking at you, Walmart) doesn't have to enroll them in a health care program.
As America wakes up to the reality that the two-party tyranny is history and that we do not have to tolerate this corrupt abuse of political and economic and military power, two web sites in particular surface for consideration.

There are about 65 parties actually registered, this directory covers 46 of them, those that have actually had candidates, and we find the directory to be most helpful as a place for any citizen to start thinking about alternatives to the two parties that have so betrayed the public trust.
On the Issues (click on the logo) is a real powerhouse of a web site, and especially

appreciated for the manner in which it displays both the substance of each candidate's position on any issue, and where on the political “map” they fall.
Arno Reuser, one of a tiny handful of lifetime leaders of the new disciplines of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and its public service manifestation, Public Intelligence in the service of Collective Intelligence, contributed the below piece in 2008. It is a standard reference. Below is the summary followed by a link to the full-text article online. Summary: Searching for information in order to solve somebody's information problem requires a wide range of skills, methods, capabilities, and knowledge of sources. In other words, it requires strategy and tactics. Unfortunately, many customers think that a simple connection to the Internet and one general-purpose search engine is more than enough to do the trick. Luckily, the well-framed end user knows better, but librarians are often challenged by budget holders and higher management to explain why the Internet is not the ultimate solution for every conceivable information problem. To confront this challenge, the author presents six simple aspects of Internet bias: 1. The Internet is not international. 2. The Internet is not easy. 3. The Internet is not just Google. 4. The Internet is not large. 5. The Internet is not objective. 6. The Internet is not anonymous. Skilled librarians or information professionals can outperform the Internet in many occasions. In the information world, librarians rule. The problem is, they are too modest.
