13-10-30 Inside Job (movie) - out of control banks caused the global depression

Joseph Zernik's photo.
'Inside Job' provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008, which at a cost over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse. The film traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia. It was made on location in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China.

The current revelations on the NSA's spying are just the tip of the iceberg and affect "almost every country in the world," said Glenn Greenwald. He stressed the NSA stores data for "as long as it can," so they can target a citizen whenever they want.

13-10-29 ISRAEL: Author Max Blumenthal Offers Unfiltered View Into Israel's Commitment to Ethnic Supremacy



Most Israelis, who live inside the 1947 borders, are in denial, and media in Israel spare them detailed reporting on what takes place in Palestine.
Haaretz daily is a notable exception.  Yesterday, it reported recent secret memos of senior IDF officers, pertaining to Jewish on Arab violence incidents in the Palestinian territories. The memos also noted their relief that Israeli media did not report the same.  Many of the recent incidents in such memos involved burning, destruction of Palestinian olive groves, denying access to water sources, and vandalism against mosques and other property with hate graffiti.
The olive groves defined the traditional Palestinian landscape.  A recent Palestinian report claimed that during Israeli occupation (since 1967) 800,000 trees were destroyed.  The number initially appeared fabricated.  However, since a recent report in Haaretz described the destruction of 400 trees in one incident, the number may be real or close to reality... jz

13-10-29 US/ISRAEL: Fabricating NSA news on Merkel, Obama


Who do you believe???
  • Russia Today published it first, and German media and independent UK media followed: Obama knew for years that Merkel was targeted by NSA and approved it.
  • Today, Wall Street Journal and the Jerusalem Post prominently publish the opposite: As soon as Obama learned about it, he ordered it to be stopped.

13-10-29 US: Alabama-based investigative journalist "Legal Schnauzer" Roger Shuler was arrested.

Wishing Roger Shuler speedy recovery!
I have been in touch with "Legal Schnauzer", Roger Shuler since 2007. And only a couple of weeks ago I wrote to him to ask if he is still home and safe in Alabama, since I had to escape from California, when the threat to my life became clear and imminent.
Shuler was confident that he was safe at home, just a couple of weeks ago...  jz

Andrew Kreig: Alabama Journalist Roger Shuler Beaten and Arrested!

By  (about the author)  opednews.com


Shuler after arrest by Shelby County, Alabama
My guest today is Justice Integrity Project's Andrew Kreig. Welcome back to OpEdNews, Andrew.  
JB: I just saw a headline that  Alabama-based investigative journalist Legal Schnauzer, Roger Shuler was arrested.  What can you tell us about this upsetting turn of events?
AK: Joan, thanks so much for having me back. This is a breaking news story that is both dramatic and important to every reader concerned about justice and the First Amendment. 
Roger Shuler, the prominent progressive blogger whose columns frequently appear in OEN,  was arrested and beaten by Shelby County sheriff's deputies at his Alabama garage upon returning home about 6 p.m. Oct. 23 from the local library. Roger faces a resisting arrest charge stemming from his refusal to obey a judge's order to stop writing about an affair he alleges involved Robert Riley Jr., a well-connected attorney who is part of Alabama's most prominent political family. 
Later, authorities were holding Shuler indefinitely on two contempt of court charges issued by a judge in what seems like a "kangaroo court." There's no bond available. Also, Roger must post a $1,000 bond on his charge of resisting arrest for a struggle that occurred in his garage, which is attached to his home in Birmingham.
But there are much larger free press issues at stake than simply his freedom, or that of his wife, Carol.
