(Contrary to the mainstream press-ta-tutes and edit-whores excuse for news going on all around the nation and world, the broadcast networks have chosen to take week off to observe the Zimmerman trial. I do not feel safer, just embarrassed mostly that the public's watchdogs are chasing their collective tail, and maybe, a little disappointed our society cannot even recognize how badly 'we the people' are having our intelligence insulted. The HACKS are over-compensated for being something less than a human both personally and professionally.)
"James Madison, the father of the Bill of Rights, was somewhat less giddy about the prospect of militarizing the home front. 'A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty,' he warned at the Constitutional Convention, 'the means of defense against foreign danger have always been the instruments of tyranny at home.'"

One of the clearest and most remarkable signs that Obama was not what he claimed to be has always been the war on whistleblowers his administration has been waging since the moment he took office. This war, unprecedented in scale or scope in the history of the United States, has been waged quietly for years, apparently out of sight of the fawning media and Obama-supporting Democrats. Find out more about this war in this week's edition of the BoilingFrogsPost.com Eyeopener report.

WeAreChange toured around Belfast to learn about the troubles that have
been deep rooted in the country and city's history. We were told how the
trouble between the Catholics and Protestants began and were shown many
of the historical and places of significance, including a 50 foot wall
that divides the two communities. We were shown around by people that
grew up from both communities and they shared with us their experiences.

Most people didn't know who the Rwandans were until 800,000 had been killed. Now, the fate of the Rohingya people of Burma is hanging by a thread as mobs attack them while the police look on. The Burmese President could stop the violence - all he has to do is approve a plan to protect them and ensure it is enforced, while granting them citizenship. Let’s appeal to European leaders to press him when he visits them in days, and stop the next Rwanda:  |
Genocides happen because we don't get concerned enough until the crime is committed. The Rohingya are a peaceful and very poor people. They're hated because their skin is darker and the majority fear they’re 'taking jobs away'. There are 800,000 of them, and they could be gone if we don't act. We've failed too many peoples, let's not fail the Rohingya.
Burmese President Thein Sein has the power, personnel and resources to protect the Rohingya, all he has to do is give the word to make it happen. In days, he’ll arrive in Europe to sell his country’s new openness to trade. If EU leaders greet him with a strong request to protect the Rohingya, he’s likely to do it. Let’s get 1 million voices and plaster images of what’s happening in Burma outside his meetings with key EU heads of state:
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/we_said_never_again_en/?bNxfadb&v=26522
Torture, gang rape, execution style killings -- human rights groups are using the term "ethnic cleansing" to describe the brutality in Burma. Already more than 120,000 Rohingya have been forced to flee, many to makeshift camps near the border, while others have fled in boats only to drown, starve, or be shot at by coastguards from neighboring countries. Reports show that violence is escalating -- earlier this year President Thein Sein declared a state of emergency after another round of deadly attacks, and it’s just a matter of time until there is a large scale massacre.
Genocides don’t happen when governments oppose them, but the Burmese regime has been leaning the wrong way. Recently, a government spokesperson admitted that authorities were enforcing a rule that limits the Rohingya population to having only two children and forces couples seeking to get married to obtain special permission. And experts report that government authorities have stood by or even participated in acts of “ethnic cleansing.” President Sein has finally been forced to acknowledge what’s happening to the Rohingya, but he has so far refused to implement plans to stop the violence and protect those at risk.
Until he does, the risk of genocide hovers like a dark cloud over not just Burma, but the world. Through their trade relations, UK PM Cameron and French President Hollande have massive leverage with Sein -- if they press him to act when he meets with them this month, it could save lives. Let’s make sure they do. We've failed too many peoples, let's not fail the Rohingya. Join the call now and share this with everyone:
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/we_said_never_again_en/?bNxfadb&v=26522
Time and again, the Avaaz community has stood with the people of Burma in their fight for democracy. When the regime brutally cracked down on Buddhist monks in 2007, Avaazers donated hundreds of thousands of dollars/euros/pounds to provide technical support and training to activists to fight a communications blackout. In 2008, when a devastating cyclone killed at least 100,000 Burmese, but the venal military regime stopped all official international aid from coming in, our community donated millions directly to monks on the front line of the aid effort.
Our community didn’t exist when genocide was committed in Rwanda, 20 years ago. Would we have done enough to stop it? Let’s show the Rohingya our answer to that question.
With hope and determination,
Luis, Jeremy, Aldine, Oliver, Marie, Jooyea and the whole Avaaz team
PS - Many Avaaz campaigns are started by members of our community! Start yours now and win on any issue - local, national or global: http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/start_a_petition/?bgMYedb&v=23917

Media Millionaires
Journalism by and for the 0.01 Percent
by FAIRMainstream journalism is, we’re often told, in a state of severe crisis. Newsroom employment began to decline as a result of corporate takeovers in the 1990s. Then the digital revolution destroyed the advertising market, plunging the industry into serious doubt about its very business model.
But times aren’t rough all around. There are many
pundits and TV anchors who are doing very well in the media world,
racking up millions of dollars from their media contracts, book deals
and lucrative speaking fees. Though they don’t generally approach the
compensation packages awarded to network morning show hosts like Matt
Lauer or evening anchors like Diane Sawyer, they’re not exactly hurting.
Of course, being the boss means the biggest payday—and media company CEOs have been posting unbelievable incomes. In 2012, CBS head Les Moonves made $62 million, Disney’s Robert Iger made $37 million and Rupert Murdoch of Fox took home a comparatively modest $22 million (New York Times, 5/5/13). Don’t feel sorry for Murdoch, though; as No. 91 on Forbes’ list of the world’s richest people, with an estimated net worth of $11.2 billion, he’s unlikely to go to bed hungry.
The media business outstrips other industries in generously compensating its top executives (New York Times, 5/5/13),
and those resources could of course be put to better use by hiring
reporters. But that’s not the way the system works. And it’s not just
the bosses getting rich. Indeed, many high-profile members of the media
elite live a rather charmed life. The journalism business looks to be in
a disastrous state—but the view from the top is just fine. [read more]
Who Pays for Think Tanks?

Think
tanks are important institutions that provide information and analysis
to both policy-makers and the public. But when they court donations, it
can become unclear whether that analysis is tainted by donor agendas.
