Google Trends’ official Twitter account relayed the information this afternoon indicating people across the globe are attempting to verify whether the candidate should instead occupy the big house rather than the White House.
The second most trending search topic in the past 24 hours asked which party Hillary represented.
The results follow a tough week for Clinton, after failed support for Britain to stay in the EU, in addition to a devastating speech by Republican contender Donald Trump Tuesday outlining the former secretary of state’s multiple failures during…

Unhappy progressives ditching the Democratic Party have the most to gain by voting Green

Defecting Democrats, Trump and bitterness: Why Jill Stein just might turn November upside down
Unhappy progressives ditching the Democratic Party have the most to gain by voting Green
We’re in something of a lull in the news cycle now, with primaries over and the convention a month away. The presumed nominees are working hard with their PR teams to decide where they want the narrative to take us next. But there’s an unauthorized narrative that is quickly taking shape online: rumblings of defection from the Democratic Party, a surge in registration for the Green Party, and a serious bid come November by Green Party nominee Jill Stein. Is it true? Why not? Haven’t we already thrown the playbook out the window this year? Typically, the prospect that a left-leaning independent or third-party bid will spoil the chances of the Democratic Party is enough to unify…

FBI and Police Are Knocking on Activists’ Doors Ahead of Republican National Convention

Preventative policing – welcome to the US police state.
By Alice Speri
June 24, 2016 “Information Clearing House” – “The Intercept” – Law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, have been knocking on the doors of activists and community organizers in Cleveland, Ohio, asking about their plans for the Republican National Convention in July.
As the city gears up to welcome an estimated 50,000 visitors, and an unknown number of protesters, some of the preparations and restrictions put in place by officials have angered civil rights activists. But the latest string of unannounced home visits by local and federal police marks a significant escalation in officials’ efforts to stifle protest, they say.
“The purpose of these door knocks is simple: to intimidate the target and others in efforts to discourage people from engaging in lawful First Amendment activities,” Jocelyn Rosnick, a coordinator with the Ohio chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, wrote in a statement…

Two Separate Ongoing FBI Criminal Investigations of Hillary Clinton
*
*
Wow, 2 FBI investigations. That must be record for a presidential candidate. I knew about her breaching security laws (in addition to international laws against war crimes and crimes against humanity) with her private email server, but I was unaware she was also being investigated for public corruption related to the Clinton Foundation.
Two Separate Ongoing FBI Criminal Investigations of Hillary Clinton
From Alexandra Bruce
Judge Napolitano joins Fox Business’ Stuart Varney to discuss the two criminal investigations of Hillary Clinton being conducted now by two separate FBI units, one of which brought down General David Patraeus.
The first unit is investigating potential breaches of National Security, involving the infamous Internet server that Hillary kept in her house in Chappaqua, NY.
Throughout her tenure as Secretary of State, she used private email accounts in her official communications instead of secure State Department accounts, in violation of U.S. Government policy. Thousands of her emails were retroactively marked as Classified. She breached her security clearance and violated the Federal laws regulating record-keeping, with her suspicious deletion of 31,000 emails from her home server, also raising questions as to why these were deleted. Hillary is facing the possibility of being charged with failure to protect National Security Secrets, among other charges.
The second criminal FBI investigation involves “Public Corruption” relating to the Clinton Foundation, itself. The allegations against her are that she used her position as Secretary of State to personally enrich herself and her husband by doing favours for foreign governments and receiving…

Nixon’s Guaranteed Basic Income Proposal
Imagine my recent surprise on learning Republican president Richard Nixon, in 1968, was on the verge of enacting an unconditional income for all poor families. It would have guaranteed a family of four $1,600 a year, equivalent to roughly $10,000 in 2016. Here we have yet another historical event that’s been conveniently erased from US history books.
Nixon began by commissioning a study involving a little over 8,500 Americans in cities around the country. Researchers attempted to answer three questions: (1) Would people work significantly less with a guaranteed income? (2) Would the program cost too much? (3) Would it prove politically unfeasible?
Outcomes were surprisingly favorable. Hours of work decreased only slightly and allowed for an increase in other useful activities, such as searching for better jobs or working in the home. Among youth, almost all the reduced work hours were used for education. In New Jersey, the rate of high school graduation for participants rose thirty percent.
Polls showed that 90 percent of US newspapers were enthusiastic about unconditional income for poor families. The Chicago Sun Times called it “A Giant Leap Forward,” the Los Angeles Times “a bold new blueprint.” The National Council of Churches, the labor unions, and even the corporate sector were also all in favor.
In 1970 it seemed that the time for a basic income had well and truly arrived.
With 243 votes for and 155 against, the House of Representative approved President Nixon’s Family Assistance Plan (FAP) on April 16, 1970. Most expected the plan to pass the Senate, too, which was even more progressive than the House. Sadly the Senate killed it.
Writing in Jacobin,Rutger Bregman describes how Nixon adviser Martin Anderson cunningly scuttled Nixon’s guaranteed basic income proposal. A great admirer of libertarian philosopher Ayn Rand, Anderson widely circulated excerpts from sociologist Karl Polanyi’s 1944 book The Great Transformation. The latter describes a historical system similar to Nixon’s proposed basic income: the Speenhamland system enacted in 1795 to alleviate rural poverty in Britain.
In addition to summarizing a Royal Commission Report highlighting Speenhamland’s adverse effects on both the poor and the community, Polyani cites prominent 19th century economists, such as Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo and Karl Marx, who all roundly condemned the Speenhamland experiment.
It now turns out the Royal Commission Report was based on flawed methodology and essentially fabricated.
Read more about Nixon’s guaranteed income plan, the Royal Commission Report and the devastating impact of dismantling Speenhamland and replacing it with the heinous 1834 Poor Law.

Introducing LiFi: It Was Just Tested Against WiFi & It’s 100 Times Faster — peoples trust toronto
http://ift.tt/eA8V8J “Excuse me, do you have Wi-Fi?” It seems to be the most common question posed in today’s society. We’ve become accustomed to wanting this type of technology at our fingertips in every situation, whether we’re working on-the-go, browsing the Internet whenever or wherever we please, or streaming movies, TV shows, and random videos.
But have you heard of Li-Fi?
It’s a wireless technology that transmits high-speed data using visible light communication (VLC), and it’s about to hit it big in the coming months.
via Introducing LiFi: It Was Just Tested Against WiFi & It’s 100 Times Faster — peoples trust toronto
Editor: With cancer and and other health problems linked to microwaves and Wi-Fi, hopefully this new technology is also much safer.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for Monsanto.
Hillary Clinton Pushes GMO Agenda, Hires Monsanto Lobbyist, Takes Huge Dollars from Monsanto
First published in May 2015
Democrats who had been programmed to blindly vote for Hillary Clinton are picking their jaws up off the floor after learning the truth about Hillary’s ties to Monsanto. The ties run so deep that she’s now being dubbed the “Bride of Frankenfood.” (Tweet this story)
Shockingly, Hillary Clinton’s ties to Monsanto are new information to her liberal support base. It drives home the important point that nearly everyone supporting Hillary Clinton has no idea who she really is, as evidenced by this stunning new video from Mark Dice and Luke Rudkowski.
“Hillary Rodham Clinton’s ties to agribusiness giant Monsanto, and her advocacy for the industry’s genetically modified crops, have environmentalists in Iowa calling her ‘Bride of Frankenfood’” reports the Washington Times. “A large faction of women voiced strong…

Meanwhile the US continues to be one of the only countries in the world that refuses to make anti-TB vaccine available: The Anti TB Vaccine Americans Have Never Heard Of
By Elizabeth Lee Vliet, MD
Physician2014 Ellis Island Medal of Honor, Past Director of AAPS, (See full bio at the bottom of this release)
Preview:
35% of refugees in Vermont test positive for latent TB, yet officials are silent on how many have active, infectious TB
22%, or one in every 5 refugees resettled in Minnesota by the federal government tested positive for TB in 2014
Recently, two hospital workers in Minnesota tested positive for active TB, and may have exposed more than 140 patients.
18% of all refugees resettled in Arizona have latent TB on arrival. Arizona identified 222 cases of TB among refugees whose latent TB became active and infectious.
Most Americans do not even know about TB, much less have awareness of their rapidly increasing risk of being exposed to someone with TB because of the hundreds of thousands of refugees now…

The privilege hierarchy

Excellent post on the taxonomy of privilege – exploring questions on which kinds of oppression (racial, gender, sex preference, etc) are worse.
I spend more time than I should online, and lately I’ve come across various videos and blog posts based around privilege, that I’m sorry to say leave me with more questions than I’m comfortable with, so I hope I can get some answers.
