POPSCan president lock up anyone he wants to? Bye, bye Bill of Rights . Obama has threatened to veto the National Defense Authorization Act if the final version includes a provision approved by the Senate last week that requires military detention of some terrorism suspects. Obama, like his predecessor, wants the leeway to keep them in civilian custody, and maybe even give them a trial, if he so chooses. Those of us who are not the president are apt to be more concerned about the unchecked power the bill gives him to lock us up and throw away the key. Senate wants the military to lock you up without trial I don't agree with everything in the message from Anonymous, in fact, they bother me a little bit because for all I know, they represent another face of oppression. But I agree with enough of the message in this video to include it in this clip.

POPSLiving in the Republic of Teahadistan: The New American Gangsters The boy in the photo is 5 years old and he suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. He was arrested and is now charged with battery of a police officer. He is a child and the adults charging him are bastards.There are other children (and not just black children) who are in this situation, facing felony charges because of morally bankrupt adults. The earlier you get them into the system, the more profitable they become. :(

POPSAusterity and Fascism in Greece - The Real 1% Doctrine By that time, Makis “Hammer” Voridis had traded up in the world of Greek fascism, merging his Hellenic Front Party into the far-right LAOS party, an umbrella party for all sorts of neo-Nazi and far-right political organizations. LAOS was founded by another raving anti-Semite, Giorgos Karatzeferis—nicknamed “KaratzaFührer” in Greece for alleging that the Holocaust and Auschwitz are Jewish “myths,” and saying that Jews have “no legitimacy to speak in Greece.” The Anti-Defamation League is going ballistic about it; for some reason, the media hasn’t taken notice, except in Israel.

POPS#OccupyLA: "You Can't Arrest An Idea" And now defying authority by taking a stand against corporate corruption makes one a Terrorist. The police can tear down every Occupy encampment and you conservatives can continue your defamation campaign, but the idea remains in the minds of the American people. The 99% movement has overshadowed the Teahadists who uphold corporate corruption. Battlefield America, indeed. http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2011/1203/Guantanamo-for-US-citizens-Senate-bill-raises-questions

POPSWorld AIDS Day 2011 The prize fund approach recognizes that we need to foster and reward medical innovations, but separates the market for innovation from the market for the drugs themselves. This approach has many benefits - dramatically lower prices being the most obvious. Experts estimate that the $10 billion U.S. market for AIDS drugs can be supplied at generic prices for anywhere from $500 million to $1.5 billion. So, even after spending $3 billion per year on the prize fund, there will be a huge overall savings. more @ clip source

POPS#Occupy: Secret Fed Loans Gave Banks Undisclosed $13B “TARP at least had some strings attached,” says Brad Miller, a North Carolina Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, referring to the program’s executive-pay ceiling. “With the Fed programs, there was nothing.” Under the Bush Administration, no strings attached.

POPSSomeone asked: Which is superior: white history or black history? Are you racist? Anyway In I have been taught intricately about ALL history It’s not just about black and white as those terms in my view are redundant, As you have Native American History, Asian history, (that’s not even going into Chinese History alone which is very vast) Arab history, etc etc. Personally I would love to call this blog African history, however so many people of African descent currently are living in the Americas not by their own choosing might I add & they are just as important as the people in Africa. Am I a racist, no I’m not, however I detest the way people of color have been treated historically (especially in the last 500 years ) & are continually treated. If you read history perhaps you wouldn’t ask such a question. It was not Africans who started this whole Race thing.

POPSReading List: Slavery by Another Name The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans ... Civil War to WWII "Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II" by Douglas A. Blackmon ... thousands of people were living in a state of involuntary servitude well into the lives of millions of Americans who are still alive today. Preview of the PBS documentary based upon the book here . Take a look at the for-profit prison industry and you will that slavery still exists. At one Georgia prison, inmates are paid $1.00 a day for their labor and charged $5.00 a minute to use the phone. .

POPS#Occupy: Save the U.S. Postal Service World War II Veteran Verne McGrew, just another one of those disgruntled dirty hippies, huh conservative clippers. I don't know, maybe like Scott Olsen, he just couldn't cut it, (one of you speculated that about Olsen - that he couldn't cut in in Iraq - which showed just how little you know).

POPSWilliam S. Burroughs' Thanksgiving Dream, 28 November 1986 Thanks Giving Prayer For John Dillinger, In hope he is still alive Thanks for the wild turkey and the Passenger Pigeons, destined to be shit out through wholesome American guts thanks for a Continent to despoil and poison -- thanks for Indians to provide a modicum of challenge and danger -- thanks for vast herds of bison to kill and skin, leaving the carcass to rot -- thanks for bounties on wolves and coyotes -- thanks for the AMERICAN DREAM to vulgarize and falsify until the bare lies shine through -- thanks for the KKK, for nigger-killing lawmen feeling their notches, for decent church-going women with their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces -- thanks for "Kill a Queer for Christ" stickers --

POPSAmerican Thanksgiving: Celebrating the massacre of over 700 Pequot men, women and children Now, digest that with your turkey and pie: "freedom" for the Pilgrims and death for the Pequot, Wampanaog, and Narragansett peoples. November is Native American. Throwing off the shackles of mythology, of, outright lies, is a virtue. Oh wait, this is oppressive the right wing cries, they are taking everything away from us. Well, boo-fucking-hoo. more @ clip source

POPSReading List: Hitler's Black Victims by Clarence Lusane Received this book yesterday and I can't wait to read it after I finish White Like Me by Tim Wise. Black Germans were stripped of their German citizenship and because of that they have never received reparations. There were a few Black German Nazis, some were even Lutwaffe pilots, just as there were Jewish Nazi collaborators such as Abraham Gancwajch: Black Germans identified as German first and Black second. The U.S Holocaust Museum does not mention Black German victims of the Holocaust in any of their displays even though ample evidence exists in their archives. Since learning of the existence of this book, I have been wondering why I have never heard any of the Jewish concentration camp survivors mention Black German prisoners in the camps. Hitler had mixed race (Black-German) children sterilized; they were among his first victims. Preview @ Google books: http://bit.ly/sSduxO.
