Here’s All You Need to Bust the NRA
To bust them as blood-gargling psychopaths. In recent years 38% of the 16,000,000 annual civilian gun purchases were reported as being bought for “home defense.” At a conservative estimate of $500 each, that makes for $3-billion in “home defense” purchases. But what are these guns used for ? Not home
NRA Roulette and Russian Roulette
You all know that Russian roulette is kind of crazy. If you want to play, you put one bullet in the cylinder of a revolver, spin the cylinder, point the gun at your temple, and pull the trigger. With a six-shooter you get 5:1 odds for survival. Play a game
The President Was A Commie Agent and Nine Sitting GOP Congressmen !!
How’s that for you? Sound crazy? A president is a commie agent? The biggest-money successor for the Birch Society — the Club For Growth — is saying pretty much equally mad things about nine Republican congressmen: — Larry Bucshon (IN-08) — Rick Crawford (AR-01) — Renee Ellmers (NC-02) — Adam
Manslaughter in Manhattan: Wall Street’s Most Infamous Killing

Cheney’s Folly: How Torture Cost Us 7 Years in the Hunt for UBL
In Zero-Dark-Thirty, as in real life, the torture-hounds at CIA never come to their senses. The Vice President, Dick Cheney, had come out to CIA headquarters repeatedly to make sure that his suggestions were carried out. And so it happened. It is only in 2010, after President Obama has shut
Bareheaded Frankfurt Polizei Support Nonviolent Direct Action
TAKE OFF YOUR HELMETS ! The main “anti-capitalist” Blockupy organizers and Polizei management made arrangements to support nonviolent direct action. Politics is less important to Germans than the core values of civil conduct. They are raised to understand the thinking of people such as Dieter Bonhoeffer, along with many others.
