Revolutionary thought of the day:
Hunger isn't about the amount of food around. It's about being able to
afford and control that food. After all, the U.S. has more food than it
knows what to do with, and still 50 million people are food insecure.
Raj Patel, author of *Stuffed and Starved* and *The Value of Nothing*,
quoted by Naomi Klein in *This Changes Everything*
negative reviews and threats of lawsuits: let's not give in to corporate bullying
There's a new bully in town, and he's not going after fat kids in the
school cafeteria. He's a corporate bully, and he's gunning for *you*, his
dissatisfied customer.
An increasing number of companies are threatening lawsuits against
customers who post negative online reviews about their products or
services. At least one company has actually sued a former customer for
defamation, based on negative reviews - and won.
This is a chilling development for anyone who cares about free speech, a
free internet, and consumer advocacy. But it may not be as dire as it
sounds.

The Islamic State Continues To Attract Thousands Of Jihadists
*Airstrikes Against Islamic State Do Not Seen To Have Affected Flow Of
Fighters To Syria -- Washington Post*
More than 1,000 foreign fighters are streaming into Syria each month, a
rate that has so far been unchanged by airstrikes against the Islamic State
and efforts by other countries to stem the flow of departures, according to
U.S. intelligence and counterterrorism officials.
The magnitude of the ongoing migration suggests that the U.S.-led air
campaign has neither deterred significant numbers of militants from
traveling to the region nor triggered such outrage that even more ... more »

Saudi Scholar Sami Habib: Israel Is Responsible for 9/11
At least some of the scholars in Saudi Arabia are waking up and challenging
the official 9/11 narrative. This is good to see. It shows that they are
not completely brainless. Hope it is a sign of things to come. It is about
time that some of the brighter minds in Saudi Arabia are beginning to
reexamine 9/11 and Israel's participation in that crime.
Of course, it is a mistake to view Israel as responsible for all of the
crises, injustices, and problems of the Muslim world, that's absurd, but
there is no question that it played a big role in the 9/11 attacks that led

“Being open-minded means that we are willing to question everything,

if they feel they are being asked to question their cherished beliefs or
their perception of reality. Yet questioning is what keeps our minds supple

“What are you doing when you aren’t doing anything at all? If you said

and brain scans show these active areas as brightly colored squares on an
otherwise dull gray background. But researchers have recently discovered
that when these areas of our brains light up, other areas go dark. This

This election cycle should serve as a case study in how not to run the
DCCC. We've been referring to it as The Steve Israel Effect but, even if
Israel is the worst practitioner ever, the DCCC's inability to do its job
predated Israel for as long as anyone alive can remember. This goes beyond
spending $4,000,000 in a blue-leaning New York City district for a recruit
so unattractive that he could lose in a landslide to a Mafia thug with 20
criminal indictments. The story, or a version of it, can be told in any

2) Charter schools allow for the imposition of schedules, curriculums, and
behavioral control techniques that are not subject to public scrutiny.
3) Charter schools are cheaper because they reduce teacher salaries, health
benefits, learning materials, and retirement plans.

Netanyahu, angered at being called a “chickenshit,” snarls out a threat to

Misprision: treasonous failure to report a crime
Silver maple, western New Jersey, November 1, 2014
This morning, courtesy of the unfailing source of the fascinating and
obscure -synthetic_zero blog, I watched a lecture by Claire Colebrook. A
professor at Penn State, she is the author of *Death of the Post-Human:
Essays on Extinction, Volume I*. I haven’t read it yet, but considering

Arne Duncan on pre-school and, umm, “cultural hesitation.”
Here: Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Wednesday that “cultural
hesitation” makes it more difficult for some Hispanic parents to want to
enroll their children in public pre-school programs because of their

think we have to face,” Duncan said. “One that [HHS Secretary] Kathy

Comforting The Rich
morningstaronline.co.uk
Stephen Harper revealed his income splitting plan last week. It's classical
Conservative policy. Comfort the rich, they say, and everyone else will
benefit. Scott Clark and Peter Devries write:
According to the Harper government, income-splitting will cost Ottawa $2.4
billion 2014-15 and $1.9 billion in 2015-16. That’s an awful lot of revenue
to give up just to make a small group of well-heeled taxpayers happy. Why
do these households deserve a deep tax break more than the vast majority of

The "World Community's" Hypocrisy About the Ukraine
Here's a headline from CBC News: "Ukraine rebels hold election despite
international outcry." The "international community" in this instance
appears to be the USA (the country that funded the fascist coup d'etat in
the Ukraine and then recognized the plotters as the legitimate government
of the Ukraine), the USA's tame poodles in the EU, and the United Nations,
which appears to be only the compliant Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. (I
suppose the cowardly boot-licking stephen harper and his boorish foreign
minister john baird could also be found crying about this.)

Casualty of War?
This week has seen a multitude of individuals expressing concern that the
Harper Regime will use the so called “terrorist attack” upon parliament to
further increase the ability of the RCMP and CSIS to investigate Canadian
citizens whilst reducing the already minimal oversight over their
activities.
There is little doubt that any country must protect its citizens,
infrastructure and institutions from those who would use violence and
destruction for whatever reason. To do so without restraints, without
recourse for the accused or without checks upon those charged with this

Navy’s pride HMS Queen Elizabeth ‘will depend on French’
[image: HMS Queen Elizabeth]The 65,000-tonne aircraft carrier, Britain’s
largest ever warship, was described as a “source of inspiration” by the
Queen when she christened the vessel at Rosyth, Scotland in July.
The ship is due to be launched in 2017, although delays are expected.
But for three years while her sister carrier the Prince of Wales is being
