You are welcome, red dog 1! Dave Emory is a great truth teller...

...I first heard about him, thanks to a DUer. The guy works 24/7 to fight the fascist internationale and the BFEE "milieu." Here's the Spitfire List and For The Record archives for those interested in news from a non-brainwashed, non-Corporate McPravda perspective:

BTW: That program with Gorden Novel is a knock-out.

Here's why I keep on fighting:

White Power and Dark Forces

Larry Arnn, the president of Hillsdale College recently used the phrase "dark ones" to refer to his institution's minority enrollment.

“The state of Michigan sent a group of people down to my campus, with clipboards … to look at the colors of people’s faces and write down what they saw,” Arnn explained. “We don’t keep records of that information. What were they looking for besides dark ones?”




Hillsdale is home to a very nice bronze of former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, BFF of Ronald Reagan and conservatives everywhere, including Arnn. People the world over feel her politics reverberate today, unfortunately.

The great DUer Junkdrawer reminded me that it wasn't just Thatcher and the modern conservatives who use nefarious tactics to rule over the Untermenschen. In fact, it goes back quite a ways, to the time when one group feels itself superior to another. News today about events from almost 75 years ago show that these oligarchs and racialists did big business with evil, and that the UK helped Hitler sell a billion in gold after the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1939,


Thankfully, not all Caucasians with power are evil. Untold thousands if not millions volunteered to defend the union and defeat the slavemasters in the Civil War, as did thousands more to fight the fascists in Spain and millions in World War II to defeat the NAZIs.

What's maddening is that the NAZIs and their ideology are still around. The reason for that can be found in the heart of America's national security state.

Bullshit.

Chernobyl was one reactor, still spewing radiation, but now entombed in leaky concrete.

Fukushima involves three reactors, not entombed by anything, still going gangbusters, including one that uses uranium-plutonium oxide fuel.

Oh, as for any quantitative analysis, TEPCO has done little in the way of telling the truth since March 11, 2011.

So, going by your lack of links for DU readers to learn more from your posts on the subject, I will observe that you are still defending the indefensible. I mean, duh.

''To hell with the companies, and to hell with the war!''

Frank Little is a name that seems to have been forgotten from U.S. history.

Thank you for the heads-up on a true American hero, Starry Messenger.

No one mentions New York City got bailed out in 1975.

Shoot, a measley $2.3 billion (about $10 billion in today's dollars) probably seems like chump change to chiselers like Donald Trump.

I understand NYC paid back its loan, unlike The Donald.
