"Responsibility
to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking,
and naming for you; it means learning to respect and use your own
brains and instincts; hence, grappling with hard work." - Adrienne Rich
"The number of those who undergo the fatigue of judging for themselves is very small indeed." - Richard Brinsley Sheridan, The Critic
"History
can come in handy. If you were born yesterday, with no knowledge of
the past, you might easily accept whatever the government tells you.
But knowing a bit of history--while it would not absolutely prove the
government was lying in a given instance--might make you skeptical,
lead you to ask questions, make it more likely that you would find out
the truth." - Howard Zinn
"Forget
the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea
you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have
owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important
land, they own and control the corporations that've long since bought
and paid for, the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city
halls, they got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the
big media companies so they control just about all of the news and the
information you get to hear. They got you by the balls.
They
spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want.
Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less
for everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't
want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't
want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking.
They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them." - George Carlin

You will have to know life … If you are to become a writer
you’ll have to stop fooling with words … It would be better to give
up the notion of writing until you are better prepared. Now it’s time
to be living. I don’t want to frighten you, but I would like to make
you understand the import of what you think of attempting. You must not
become a mere peddler of words. The thing to learn is to know what
people are thinking about, not what they say.

Catalans
have massed in a vast human chain stretching hundreds of kilometres
along the Mediterranean coast, demanding independence from Spain in the
face of fierce opposition from the national government.
Hundreds of thousands of people in yellow t-shirts joined in, according to organisers, yelling "Independence!"
They linked hands and rose them
in the air along highways and through towns in the northeastern region,
amid countless pro-independence flags bearing the red and yellow stripes
of Catalonia overlaid with a white star on a blue background.
.................................My working and personal relationship with President Obama is marked by growing trust. I appreciate this. I carefully studied his address to the nation on Tuesday. And I would rather disagree with a case he made on American exceptionalism, stating that the United States’ policy is “what makes America different. It’s what makes us exceptional.”
It is extremely dangerous to
encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the
motivation. There are big countries and small countries, rich and poor,
those with long democratic traditions and those still finding their way
to democracy. Their policies differ, too. We are all different, but when
we ask for the Lord’s blessings, we must not forget that God created us
equal.

Monsanto’s Congressional Cartel: List of Senators Who Betrayed Constituents in Favor of Biotech Dollars
Daisy Luther
Once upon a time, a system was designed in which “the people” elected
delegates to go to Washington DC. These members of Congress had the
specific duty of representing the wishes of their constituencies when
laws were being voted upon.The success of last weekend’s March Against Monsanto should have made it very clear that a great many people wish to see, at the very least, labels on toxic GMO foods. The fact that this success was covered up by the media does NOT mean that the members of Congress were unaware of it – just the opposite. Our success was frightening, and that is why it was covered up.
Despite that, the day before the event, an amendment to the farm bill that would have allowed the individual states to pass laws protecting consumers from unlabeled GMOs was quietly shot down in the Senate with a vote of 71-27 against this right. The timing of this betrayal, right before a long weekend, goes along with the general modus operandi of sliding through things that will meet with objections from the public when they are otherwise distracted.
The failure to pass this amendment was due in part to Monsanto mouthpiece Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), the chair of the Agriculture Committee. Stabenow, incidentally, received over three quarters of a million dollars from agribusiness interests ($739,926 to be exact) in agribusiness donations. Stabenow utilized the propaganda that is being dispersed by the likes of Monsanto and the Gates Foundation to argue her point:
Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), the chair of the Agriculture Committee, spoke on behalf of the biotech giant seizing the opportunity to focus primarily on the myth that genetically modified ingredients feed the hungry people of the world, ignoring the fact that 64 countries now require GMO labeling.
“This particular amendment would interfere with the FDA’s science-based process to determine what food labeling is necessary for consumers,” Stabenow said. More here

Despite the vast campaign donations the politicians receive from special interest groups, the recent grassroots movements like Occupy Monsanto and March Against Monsanto have proven that activism works without the huge budget. Even though Monsanto has a kennel full of obedient pet congress members, we can defeat the biotech enemy by spreading information. Teaching the public about the dangers of consuming GMOs, the environmental and health tolls of Monsanto’s farming methods, and the unscrupulous business practices that are designed to put small farmers around the globe out of business, is our most powerful weapon.
This is a call to action. Use the list above to make it clear that we will not stand idly by while our elected representatives betray us for the benefit of Monsanto.
- Find the email addresses and phone numbers of your Senator HERE. Write them a polite letter or make a polite phone call. Firmly and courteously demand answers.
- Use public forums provided to you on your local level to share information about the selling out of our health by these elected officials. Write letters to the editor, post on social media, and hand out fliers, being sure to follow local ordinances. Always be courteous to encourage dialogue.
- Find your senator’s page on Facebook. Actively post in the comments sections and post on their timelines about your displeasure regarding their betrayals.
- Use the power of social media to spread the word that these senators are the friends of Monsanto, and thus the enemies of food freedom and GMO labeling.

Assad Demands End to U.S. 'Threats':
Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad insisted that the U.S. give up its "policy of
threats" and halt arms shipments to rebels before his government turns
over its chemical weapons, as U.S. and Russian delegations arrived in
Geneva to begin talks aimed at forging a road map for the shutdown of
the weapons program.
Carney: No timeline for weighing Syria chemical weapons offer:
He said
that the administration needed to evaluate "technical aspects" of
assuming control of Syria's chemical weapons stockpile, as well as test
the seriousness of the offer.
Senate moving on from Syria resolution - for now:
The
Senate is formally dropping consideration of a resolution authorizing
U.S. military force in Syria and deferring instead to diplomatic
attempts to end the crisis.
Where Congress stands on Syria -
Lawmakers appear to be tentatively dividing into four camps over military action in Syria.
White House puts Syria onus on Putin after Russian president pressures US in op-ed:
A senior
administration official responded to the op-ed, telling Fox News,
"President Putin has invested his credibility in transferring Assad's
chemical weapons to international control, and ultimately destroying
them. The world will note whether Russia can follow through on that
commitment."
Putin's deft timing on a Syria chemical arms surrender plan snookered Obama: Op-Ed:
By stalling military action over Assad's armoury, the Russian president has merged as an international law upholder
What Vladimir Putin didn't tell the American people about Syria: -
Russia's leader poses as a champion of the rule of law in a New York Times op-ed, but his record as Assad's backer is shameful
Chemical Weapons Deal Only A Hiccup For Saudi Goals In Syria :

Assad forces said to use poison gas in new Damascus attack:
Syrian
rebels claim that the army of President Bashar Assad again used poison
gas in an attack on rebel forces in the Damascus area Thursday, an
Israel Radio report said.
Retired CIA Analyst: US's Evidence on Syria Chemical Attack Fabricated:
Elements
within the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have fabricated
intelligence to implicate the Syrian government in the recent chemical
attack in Syria and cater for Washington's case for launching strikes
on the Middle-Eastern country, said a retired CIA analyst.
Russian Plan 'Is Just A Lie,' Syrian Rebel General Says:
Russia is
"playing games. ... They know that the regime in Damascus is a
criminal regime," Gen. Salim Idris . The general's words echoed a
statement he made in a video posted online late Wednesday. "We announce
our definitive rejection of the Russian initiative to place chemical
weapons under international custody,"
Propaganda alert
Syria preparing to send chemical arms to Iraq: rebels:
Louai
Miqdad told the Saudi newspaper Al-Watan that the weapons transfer
would take place under the supervision of the Quds Force, a special
unit of Iran's army, and with the knowledge of the Iraqi government of
MP Nour al-Maliki.
Israel adamant it won't ratify chemical arms treaty before hostile neighbors:
Israel
signed the Chemical Weapons Convention in 1993, but never ratified it.
Consequently, it hasn't agreed to submit itself to international
inspections or to refrain from steps that would violate the convention.
US struggles show hazards of chemical weapons destruction:
The US
vowed to destroy its cache of chemical weapons by 2012. But tons of
nerve agents remain in Colorado and Kentucky - reflecting how
complicated the process could prove in Syria
Three soldiers among 7 killed in Iraq attacks:
A spate
of attacks across Iraq killed seven people on Thursday, including three
who died when a suicide car bomber struck as recruits were leaving a
military base, officials said.
No plans to supply Iran with S-300 systems - Putin's press secretary:
Answering
the questions from reporters, Dmitry Peskov replied "no" when asked if
President Putin had given such orders. Earlier, the Russian newspaper
Kommersant informed that Moscow will offer Iran S-300 missiles and help
in constructing a new building in Bushehr nuclear reactor site.

groups in Libya are currently blocking key oilfields and ports -
hijacking the government of its main source of revenue and leading to
some fuel shortages and blackouts.
China took away the Turkmenistan - Afghanistan - Pakistan - India pipeline from USA:

MPs set up a special commission to investigate whether the US secret
services were spying on the Brazilian leader, the lower house of
Brazil's parliament reported. The group of MPs will come to Moscow to
meet ex-CIA contractor Edward Snowden.
The NSA machine: Too big for anyone to understand:
Newly
declassified documents released Tuesday tell a story of a surveillance
apparatus so unwieldy and complex that nobody fully comprehended it,
even as the government pointed it at the American people in the name of
protecting them.
