RSN: What New Hampshire Tells Us, Human Rights Watch: The Empire's Human Rights Group




Reader Supported News | 11 February 16

Fundraising is Never Pleasant, Neither is Oligarchy
“Oligarchy (from Greek (oligarkhía); from (olígos), meaning "few", and (arkho), meaning "to rule or to command") is a form of power structure in which power effectively rests with a small number of people. These people could be distinguished by royalty, wealth, family ties, education, corporate, or military control.”
In contrast RSN is something you control through your contributions.
Think about it.

Crossroads had been the most active of the nonprofits funneling cash into politics - often called dark money because the original source of the funds may be kept secret if the organizations have social welfare as their primary purpose."

How to Trap Elephant Poachers With Their Own Technology 
Drazen Jorgic, Reuters 
Jorgic writes: "New anti-poaching techniques follow work done in Kenya, where poaching rates have nosedived.
