Land Destroyer: US Now Admits it is Funding "Occupy Central"
The very concept of the United States ”promoting democracy” is
scandalous when considering it is embroiled in an invasive global
surveillance scandal, guilty of persecuting one unpopular war after
another around the planet against the will of its own people and based
on verified lies, and brutalizing and abusing its own citizens at home
with militarized police cracking down on civilians in towns like
Ferguson, Missouri – making China’s police actions against “Occupy
Central” protesters pale in comparison. “Promoting democracy” is clearly
cover for simply expanding its hegemonic agenda far beyond its borders
and at the expense of national sovereignty for all subjected to it,
including Americans themselves.

A ‘No Social Media List’ For Extremists And Potential Terrorists?
A ‘No Social Media List’ For Extremists And Potential Terrorists?
There are also plans to ban “extremists” from broadcasting and speaking
at public events. The stated goal of these proposals is to crack down on
terrorism, but in the process the civil liberties of the British people
are going to be flushed down the toilet. And the American people need
to pay close attention to what is going on in the UK, because whatever
police state measures are implemented over there usually also get
implemented over here eventually. For those that believe that we need to
do “whatever it takes” to fight terrorism, there is a very important
question that you need to ask yourself. What if the government decides
that you are an “extremist” because of what you believe?

coincided with instructions to U.S. funeral homes on how to “handle the

Association, is
quoted (click preceding link) as saying “If you were in the middle of a
flood or gas leak, that’s not the time to figure out how to turn it off.
You want to know all of that in advance. This is no different.” So it’s
just about being prepared, you see. Of course, nothing resembling this
sort of preparation has ever transpired alongside any other Ebola
outbreak in world history, so what gives now?

World's Most Important Jewish Advocacy Group "Horrified" by Nazi Resurgence in Ukraine - Russia Insider
The
letter, addressed to Patriarch Filaret of the Ukrainian Orthodox
Church, strongly condemned a recent ceremony near Lviv marking the 70th
anniversary of the creation of the Galician division of the Waffen SS,
in which Ukrainians fought on the side of Nazi Germany. From the WJC
website:
In late July, Ukrainians wearing SS uniforms were
photographed trudging through trenches and fire rifles in a
reconstruction of a key battle against the Soviets during World War II.
An Orthodox priest led a ceremony for fallen soldiers of the Nazi unit,
sprinkling his blessing over several men sporting swastikas who lowered a
coffin in a ritual reburial.
The
WJC president wrote: “I was horrified to see photographs […] of young
Ukrainians wearing the dreaded SS uniform with swastikas clearly visible
on their helmets as they carried the caskets of members of this Nazi
unit."

Rain poses no obstacle to a new show of strength ANC and Omnium
Special: Referendum of Catalonia's independence on 9 November 2014
Rain is fucking. You can bring an umbrella or raincoat, that ends up
getting wet. Flows to where it wants and leaves you drenched. And
tonight in the Plaza Sant Jaume in Barcelona, thousands of independence
that have been concentrated in protest against the suspension of 9-N by
the Spanish Constitutional Court (TC) have been well soaked. Never the
weather had become a political metaphor so apt. The general picture came
to say that for many umbrellas and raincoats that Spain wants to put
the Catalan process, one way or another, the droplets will eventually
affect the independence. Gossip stoically, even and rain, independence
has responded to the mass appeal of the ANC and Omnium Cultural
concentrate on the Plaça de Sant Jaume to show their commitment to the
Yes-Yes. There were those who, incredulous, predicted a slight
involvement in the protest. If the withdrawal of institutional campaign
for N-9, if the club ... But when there was still an hour for the
official announcement, the square there was a remarkable movement. And
at seven, not just the Plaça de Sant Jaume was filled with thousands of
pro-independence umbrella, but the street Jaume I and Ferran street.
Gossip show of force in the independence, therefore, has been
remarkable. Carmen Forcadell Muriel Casals and have taken the microphone
to encourage more participants to persevere in the N-9 and denounce the
evil of CT. But the rain made it difficult to hear almost nothing, and
has chosen to spend the square chanting slogans like "Vo-ta-oar!" Or
sing "Reaper." Gossip From the government's decision to suspend campaign
N-9 by institutional or mu. The consultation calls for independence,
and politicians have taken note there present. From Josep Rull (CDC)
Joan-Josep Nuet (EUiA) have shown that the ANC will not tolerate Omnium
Cultural and steps back. The TC for concentrated there, is far. If it
rains, it rains. And the rain wets. For many umbrellas State put. Gossip
Gossip Track in Catalonia Also, the announcement has been followed
successfully in many of the Catalan towns, hard to competition major
cities. Girona, Lleida and Tarragona have gathered thousands of people,
while in places like Vic, Manresa Granollers there have also been
notable concentrations. Olot has experienced one of the most massive
demonstrations in memory and Reus has been filling 4,500 people packed
Market Square. Gossip Terrassa 2,500 people have coped with rain
torrential shouting 'We want to vote', an image that has been repeated
in towns throughout Catalonia, Torredembarra Altafulla Vacarisas Ripoll,
Berga and Solsona, among many others. Even in Valencia met hundreds of
people in defense of the 9-N query. There have been rallies in support
of Palma and Brussels.

Cañete : Le réchauffement climatique et les conflits d’intérêts ne doivent pas être pris à la légère par M. Juncker
Le chef du gouvernement espagnol, M Rajoy a designé M. Arias Cañete
pour devenir Commissaire européen et Jean-Claude Juncker lui propose
d’être le Monsieur « Climat Energie » européen pendant 5 ans.
Je
m’oppose farouchement à cette désignation. La France, donc l’Europe, va
accueillir en novembre 2015 la Conférence sur le réchauffement
climatique. Peut-on réellement accepter que la personne qui nous
représentera sur ce dossier soit directement liée à des industries du
pétrole, même s’il assure qu’il a revendu ses parts… à ses beaux-frères ?
Quelle crédibilité auront nous vis-à-vis de nos partenaires au niveau
international, lorsque nous leur demanderont de tout mettre en œuvre
pour limiter leurs émissions de gaz à effet de serre ?
En tant
que ministre espagnol de l’environnement, il n’a pas montré
particulièrement d’entrain pour le développement des énergies
renouvelables ce que l’on peut comprendre vu les actions qu’il détenait
dans les sociétés Petrolifera Ducar et Petrologis. Il est bien difficile
de défendre l’intérêt général quand il vient empiéter sur les intérêts
particuliers.
En octobre 2012, M. Barroso a saqué le Commissaire à
l'environnement M. John Dalli pour des supposés conflits d'intérêts qui
se sont révélés être faux, il impensable que Juncker choisisse en
connaissance de cause un Commissaire qui traine autant de casseroles.
La présence de M. Arias Cañete sera pour moi une raison supplémentaire
pour voter contre la Commission que Jean-Claude Juncker devra faire
avaliser par le Parlement européen le 22 octobre 2014 à Strasbourg.
En attendant, j’appelle mes concitoyens à faire monter la pression en
signant la pétition demandant le retrait de M. Arias Canete.

Naomi Klein: “we are not who we were told we were” | ROAR Magazine:
Naomi Klein rose to international acclaim in 1999 by explaining how big corporations were exploiting our insecurities to convince us to spend money we didn’t have, on stuff we didn’t need (No Logo). In 2007 she masterfully dissected the ways those steering the global economy use moments of social and environmental crisis to justify transferring public wealth into the hands of the ultra-rich (The Shock Doctrine). Less-known though are the alternatives Klein spends much of her time witnessing, documenting, and digging into, from the spread of fossil fuel divestment, to community-owned energy projects and resistance to tar sands pipelines.
On the eve of the publication of her new book, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs the Climate, Klein sat down with Liam Barrington-Bush at the Peoples Social Forum in Ottawa, to talk about where she finds hope in a world that can sometimes feel very bleak. She reminds us that in a culture that treats people as consumers and relationships as transactions, ‘we’re not who we were told we were.’

War, Media Propaganda and the Police State | Global Research
War, Media Propaganda and the Police State | Global Research:
Modern propaganda techniques utilized by the corporate state to enforce anti-democratic and destructive policies routinely entail the manufacture and manipulation of news events to mold public opinion and, as Edward Bernays put it, “engineer consent” toward certain ends.
Such events include not only overt political appeals, but also acts of seemingly spontaneous terrorism and militarism that traumatize the body politic into ultimately accepting false narratives as political and historical realities.
Western states’ development and utilization of propaganda closely parallels the steady decay of political enfranchisement and engagement throughout the twentieth century. Upon securing a second term in 1916, the Democratic administration of Woodrow Wilson plunged the United States into the most violent and homicidal war in human history. Wilson, a former Princeton University academician groomed for public office by Wall Street bankers, assembled a group of progressive-left journalists and publicists to “sell the war” to the American people.

CNA
Barcelona (ACN).- People massively and peacefully
gathered in front of each town hall in Catalonia on Tuesday evening in
order to protest against the decision to suspend the self-determination consultation vote made by the Constitutional Court the day before.
Citizen protests have been organised in each of the 947 municipalities
in Catalonia, despite the heavy rain in parts of the territory. In
Barcelona, for instance, thousands of people carrying umbrellas filled
up Sant Jaume Square, where the City Council is located. The
demonstrations were organised by organised by the civil society
associations Catalan National Assembly (ANC) and Òmnium Cultural, which
were behind the massive rallies of September 2012, 2013 and 2014 that
gathered more than 1.5 million people each time. These grass-roots
organisations are not giving up hope of voting on the 9th of
November and launched their own campaign to ask citizens to participate
and vote for independence. This campaign aims to mobilise up to 100,000
volunteers to carry out a door-to-door survey to visit all the homes in
Catalonia.
Thousands of people demonstrated on Tuesday evening in front of
Catalonia's town halls against the Constitutional Court's decision,
despite the heavy rain that fell during the afternoon and evening.
Carrying umbrellas, thousands of people gathered in front of Barcelona's
City Council as well as in front of all the other 946 existing town
halls. In fact, 94% of all Catalonia's municipalities voted in the last
few days for motions supporting November's self-determination
consultation vote.
Catalonia's self-determination process "is not over"
On Monday the Constitutional Court temporarily suspended the Catalan
Law on Consultation Votes and the decree calling the 9th of November's
self-determination consultation vote. Such a temporary suspension, which
entered into force this Tuesday morning, was approved by the Court on
Monday evening in an urgent manner, just 5 hours after the Spanish
Government had filed its appeals, which questions the separation of
powers. The temporary suspension of the law and the decree does not mean
they are illegal, but it is just a cautionary measure whose duration
can be as long as it takes the Court to reach a definitive decision on
the issue. The Catalan Government and Parliament announced on Tuesday
that they will file their allegations against the Court's decision,
asking the Madrid-based body to reconsider its decision. However, the
Catalan Government's Spokesperson, Francesc Homs, stated that
Catalonia's self-determination process "is not over" because of the
Constitutional Court's temporary suspension. In fact, Homs stated on
Monday that the Spanish Government and the Constitutional Court could
make "the greatest mistake in Spain's democracy" by not allowing
Catalans to vote on the 9th of November, since citizens will
vote sooner or later anyway and the opposition from the Spanish
establishment feeds pro-independence support.
