FIGHTING
BUDGETS A THOUSAND TIMES OURS: Each day we face the challenge of rebutting,
challenging falsehoods promulgated by organizations with budgets a thousand
times the size of RSN’s budget. Koch, Murdoch, the NRA you name it we confront
it. Yeah it’s a fight that’s worth ten bucks a month. We make a difference. /

Ukraine's Dueling Elections
Robert Parry, Consortium News
Parry writes: "Despite many procedural shortcomings, the referenda for secession in eastern Ukraine confront the post-coup regime in Kiev and its Western backers with a growing problem, the realization that major ethnic Russian population centers near the Russian border reject the new right-wing national leaders and favor independence."

Chatterjee | The Three Faces of Drone War
Pratap Chatterjee, TomDispatch
Chatterjee writes: "Today, we are left with just the reassuring 'face' of the terrorist enemy, killed clinically by remote control while we go about our lives, apparently without any 'collateral damage' or danger to our soldiers. Now, however, that may slowly be changing, bringing the true face of the drone campaigns Washington has pursued since 9/11 into far greater focus."

Bundy
Supporters Drove ATVs Through Native American Ruins
Sara Morrison, The Atlantic Wire
Morrison writes: "If there's one thing that will get your point across and persuade the general public to support your cause, it's driving a bunch of ATVs through Native American ruins and burials. That seems to be the logic used by anti-Bureau of Land Management, pro-Cliven Bundy protestors who drove ATVs through a Utah canyon trail where motorized vehicles are banned."
