We just found out that there has been an attempt to hoodwink and bamboozle us by the powers that be in the Jamar Clark case. As you may know, the news media has been reporting that the press conference by the U.S. Attorney's office/DOJ would be held at 11am today. Many of us who are considered to be community leaders were falsely told that the press conference would be held at 1:30pm today. After questioning a government official about this discrepancy, we we were told that the 1:30 meeting is actually a meeting with community leaders. Only the press and federal authorities will be allowed in the 11am press conference.Nekima Levy-Pounds President Minneapolis NAACP

On Tuesday, June 7, I have decided to cast my vote for Hillary Clinton because I believe this is the only path forward to win the presidency and stop the dangerous candidacy of Donald Trump.I have closely watched the primaries and am deeply impressed with how well Bernie Sanders has done. He has driven home the message that the top one percent has unfairly captured way too much of America’s wealth, leaving the majority of people far behind. In 1992, I attempted a similar campaign. gov Jerry Brown

PPIC STATEWIDE SURVEY MAY 2016 Californians and Their Government http://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/other/Crosstabs_LikelyVoters0516.pdf

I’ve said this before -- the United States does not seek to impose our form of government on Vietnam.  The rights I speak of I believe are not American values; I think they're universal values written into the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  They're written into the Vietnamese constitution, which states that “citizens have the right to freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and have the right of access to information, the right to assembly, the right to association, and the right to demonstrate.”Vietnam will do it differently than the United States does.  And each of us will do it differently from many other countries around the world.  But there are these basic principles that I think we all have to try to work on and improve.  And I said this as somebody who's about to leave office, so I have the benefit of almost eight years now of reflecting on how our system has worked President Obama

Breaking Through Power: The Media—May 24, 2016, brings together also for the first time a large gathering of authors, documentary filmmakers, reporters, columnists, musicians, poets and editorial cartoonists. All of these presenters have documented or depicted entrenched wrongdoing by the corporate state or “crony capitalism”—the cruel impacts of corporate crimes and abuses, the absence of governmental law enforcement, and the harmful effects of concentrated corporate power.

The speakers all seek wider audiences for their works: more readers, viewers and listeners. Unfortunately the mass media barons prefer to wallow in incessant advertising, hedonistic entertainment, sports and mind-numbing redundancy. The result is what many observers see as the stupefaction of human intelligence. A major purpose of Day Two is the creation of a “Voices” advocacy organization that puts forces in motion to inject serious programming into the over-the-air and cable networks under a revitalized Communications Act of 1934 and generally champion a greater life of the mind on all media.https://www.breakingthroughpower.org/#program
