By Peter Apanel In recent years, media stories about questionable, ill-advised, publicly-subsidized sports stadium deals that benefit wealthy team owners have become commonplace. But here in Portland, Oregon, the story is different. That's because there is clear evidence of securities fraud and obstruction of justice.

Rocketship is blasting off in Silicon Valley, with great fanfare – and no, it’s not a new tech start up, propelled by the genius of another 22-year old wunderkind who has invented the latest, most innovative way to virally spread videos of silly cats playing pianos.   Yet, looking at the applauding coverage of Rocketship, you’d be hard-pressed to not think you’re watching a business profile of a rising star ...

source: Carl Herman Victory will come to Occupy and 100% of humanity in a relative instant of state-change. All we have to do is keep responding to our heart and mind’s honor. Occupy exposes and ends the US Orwellian criminal wars, all begun with lies known to be lies as they were told and obvious to all independent analysis. Indeed, lying to steal land and resources has been central to US foreign policy si ...

By Saul Landau In the early Spring 1982, I accompanied former US Senator Jim Abourezk (D-SD) to Libya. National Geographic had asked him to get Libyan permission to film several sites of Roman ruins. He met with officials I walked Tripoli’s streets. At a coffee shop near the hotel, a group of young men stopped playing with their worry beads, brought their jumping knees into upright positions, and followed m ...
