New Orleans police ordered to stop saving lives and start saving property New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin ordered nearly the entire active police force in the flood-ravaged city to abandon rescue operations Wednesday night and focus on efforts to halt looting.

FBI monitoring BAMN, FnB, Code Pink BAMN is a group that exists at several campuses in addition to Berkeley, and is known to be sponsored by a trotskyist group that takes a moderate affirmative action issue that probably the majority of the population supports and makes it seem like an extremely radical cause.

The Left Gatekeepers The left must confront and evaluate the material facts of black ops and false flag operations conducted within the continental United States and Europe or risk simply becoming an impediment to the historical and revolutionary potential of the working class.
