  1. Unless it’s mis-labled, and there’s a longshoreman nearby. You could end up in…
    RT: “Two female Italian aid workers who ignored their parents’ pleas and snuck into Syria have been kidnapped by Islamist militants.”

  2. Militarization and protests in North America – do we have a problem?
    “It is our view that the motto of ‘to serve and protect’ be a true starting point for police officers to guard against the tensions and ‘us against them mentality’ that can arise between police and the communities they are to serve,” the CCLA wrote.
    One wonders how the police force in Ferguson, Missouri, perceives the public. Are they there to serve and protect. Or is it us against them?

  3. Operation Chokepoint ….. choked.
    That list of 30 legal business categories on the FDIC website gave the BIG BANKS the wrong impression — the impression that they should deny access to bank accounts, but it was all a big misunderstanding.
    The misunderstanding has been rectified with the removal of the list from its website.

  4. News from Brazil. Use Google translate:
    http://g1.globo.com/pernambuco/morte-de-eduardo-campos/noticia/2014/08/marina-silva-visita-viuva-e-filhos-de-eduardo-campos-no-recife.html
    The story is this:
    There is a federal election in the Fall in Brazil. Eduardo Campos [I]was[/I] the leader of one of the many political parties, PSB (the result of proportional representation). He was killed in a plane crash two days ago. Marina Silva was vice president of the party and presidential running mate. She will now become the Socialist Party presidential candidate.
    This amounts to a green coup de party. Silva was a founder of a greenie organization, Sustainability Network, and is an eco-fascist. It is anticipated that she will garner many greenie-propagandized youth votes. Brazilians are obligated by law to vote.
    BTW The PSB (Socialist Party of Brazil) is to the Right (except on eco issues) of the ruling PT (Workers Party). The other main contender is the “right wing” PSDB (Social Democratic Party of Brazil).
    Nice country, terrible politics, hence the riots.
