FERGUSON:
If a Lily White Community were peacefully protesting and invaded by MILITARY WEAPONS including ARMORED VEHICLES, SWAT GEAR, SNIPERS ON THE ROOF, TEAR GAS, RUBBER BULLETS, AUTOMATIC WEAPONS by a Black Police Force ..... what would the response be?
FERGUSON is a MICROCOSM of American Racism perpetuated by the Republican Party, duplicating the HATE the NAZIs employed to divert attention from their FAILED FISCAL POLICIES. TRICKLE DOWN, ANYONE?
At least be honest!
THE WAR MONGERS:
RSN offered the article below....
Are American Memories so short we've forgotten the MARCH TO WAR in Iraq that destabilized the Middle East?
Didn't Americans march in the streets about the BRUTAL THUG AMERICAN KEPT IN POWER - SADDAM HUSSEIN? Didn't Americans rally with Faux News to silence the OPPOSITION as UNPATRIOTIC?
The poor historical education of Americans has contributed to yet another MARCH TO WAR.
The Sykes-Picot Agreement mandated U.S. SUPPORTED THUGS would rule.
The overthrow of Mossadagh, the installation of the BRUTAL SHAH condemned Iran for the British Monarchy to assure their rule on the backs of the oppressed.
RESOURCE WARS!
The PROJECT FOR THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY is about the FOLLY of Global Domination at the expense of Americans.
PLEASE, PLEASE INFORM YOURSELVES!

State: The Politics Behind the Drama in Ferguson
Jeb Lund, Rolling Stone
Lund writes: "Watching the citizen protests in Ferguson, Missouri and the massive police overreaction, I couldn't help but think of the old 1960s revolutionary phrase about 'heightening the contradictions,' the idea that a little subtle and acceptable instigation could prompt the state to expose its own brutality."

the Worst Company in America
Lynn Stuart Parramore, AlterNet
Parramore writes: "There are a lot of really strong contenders for the title of worst company in America. Walmart, Bank of America, Ticketmaster and Carnival Cruise Lines have all consistently delivered exquisitely horrible experiences to the American consumer, and their contributions to the national anxiety level must not be underestimated."
