Clergy leading the protest, and a hug with police...
Reverend Billy And The Stop Shopping Gospel Choir
While holding a sign that said "YOU ARE KILLING US" on one side and "DON'T SHOOT" on the other, Sister Dragonfly approached a Ferguson officer and attempted to make eye contact. She implored him to look at her, and when their gaze connected, she asked, "Why do you all hate us so much?" The officer responded, "I don't hate you, ma'am." She replied with "I don't want to hate you, I'd rather hug you." And when he said, "Then hug me," she promptly put her arms around him, and they embraced whole-heartedly for nearly a minute. From that moment forward, the gaze of the ‪#‎FergusonOctober‬‪#‎MoralMonday‬ protest shifted from the cluster of clergy leading the protest to the officers surrounding them.
(Dragonfly is a singing activist with the Stop Shopping Choir of New York City. Reverend Billy and Tom Tom Ted, with Dragonfly, were among the many activists who journeyed here to join the Ferguson October weekend. The Stop Shopping Choir will return to Ferguson on Thanksgiving weekend. Subscribe to our email updates athttp://www.revbilly.com/subscribe) ‪#‎HugsNotHate‬ ‪#‎RevBilly‬

2014-10-23 PALESTINE: "Kids Intifadah", "Urban Intifadah", "Quiet Intifadah" - whatever you call it, it's here!

2014-10-23 PALESTINE: "Kids Intifadah", "Urban Intifadah", "Quiet Intifadah" - whatever you call it, it's here!
======================================
The current intifadah started this summer following widespread punitive measures by IDF against the Palestinian civilian population in the aftermath of the kidnaapping/murder of 3 Jewish youths, and the murder of Palestinian youth Muhammad Abu Hader in retaliation by Jews.
The only reason for the lack of awareness of the current intifadah, is lack of reporting and/or deliberate blackout by media.

2014-10-22 Obama working hard at beating the drums of Cold War 2.0
============================
Pepe Escobar
HE JUST CAN’T HELP DOING STUPID STUFF
At the UN General Assembly, Obama said the Top Three Threats facing the world are Ebola, ISIS and...RUSSIA!
This is no less than a (stupid) declaration of war.
Around the world, Obama is barely more popular than Ebola. Barely.
And still he can’t help undermining his own “Don’t Do Stupid Stuff” foreign policy doctrine.
Gotta love Putin’s indirect response, to Serbian newspaper Politika:
“We hope that our partners will realize the futility of attempts to blackmail Russia and remember what consequences discord between major nuclear powers could bring for strategic stability.”
