2016 is the first national U.S. election, in history, to expose campaign billionaires 2016 is the first national U.S. election, in history, in which the intimate details of every campaign donor will be exposed to the world
By Roger Emerson -
It is a long time before the 2016 Presidential election, and already we know quite a bit about Canada Frank and his mining deals and his conflicts of interest with Hillary Clinton.

The only poin...

Agriculture Committee Throws Consumers and Farmers Under the Bus In Passage of DARK Act July 14, 2015 (Washington, DC)—Center for Food Safety (CFS) today expressed disappointment in the House Agriculture Committee’s adoption of H.R. 1599, which would not only prohibit all labeling of GE foods, but also to make it unlawful for states or local governments to restrict GE crops in any way. If it becomes law, the bill would prohibit any future state and local laws related to GE foods, and also undemocratically nullify numerous state and counties laws that have existed across the coun...

While Governor Brown, other state officlals and the mainstream media continue to falsely portray California as a "green" state, the devastation of the oil spill shows the fragility of California's ocean waters - and exposes the failure of state and federal officials to stop a disaster like this, due to the capture of the state's regulatory apparatus by Big Oil.

The Question of a US form of fascism In recent years, the term "fascism" is heard more and more. With the growing epidemic of police killings, mostly of people of color, with the intentional maintenance and growth of the largest prison system in the world (with practically a political guarantee of recidivism), with police making lethal demands for obedience, with the increasing corporate technological destruction of land and oceans, and with the constant obsessions with war (a misnomer for massacre from a distance), the term "fa...

Activists will rally to block offshore oil drilling expansion in Santa Barbara 
Using a loophole in the state law that prohibits leasing state waters for oil and gas drilling, Venoco has asked the State Lands Commission to approve a lease swap that would allow the company to drill for more oil on 3,400 acres off the California coast. That oil would be transported through the Plains All American pipeline, according to Californians Against Fracking....

The Relationship of Social Philosophy to Social Policy Today, our nation of 350 million is governed “officially” by the democratic ideals eloquently prescribed in our Constitution, but in reality we are governed by the same ideology of “survival of the fittest,” who are the wealthiest, the 1% billionaire owned politicians who are served by the most clever at propaganda, mass marketing advertising, public manipulation which determines elections so that “the people” in “we the people…” vote against their own best interests, such as for allowing pol...

"Fast Track" Hurdles and Development Concerns Remain After House Trade Votes A package of trade bills stalled today when the US House of Representatives defeated one portion of the package while voting in favor of another.

This worker assistance is part of the Trade Act of 2015 which would give President Obama Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) to move international trade agreements through Congress without amendment. Congress must pas...

The WTO continued to find that the goal of providing information to consumers was compliant with international trade rules, but it decided narrowly that the implementation of the rules for COOL labels negatively impacted livestock imports from Canada and Mexic...

70 Years Since Victory in Europe; 30 Years Since MOVE Massacred The guns fell silent on May 9, 1945 in Europe, after the Red Army, which almost single-handedly defeated Nazi Germany, accepted an unconditional surrender from the Nazis on May 8, 1945 in Berlin, which it entered first, before any other Allies. The other Allies, namely the US, Britain and France, had accepted surrenders earlier in the week while allowing the Nazis to continue fighting the Red Army.
