Appearing by telepresence robot, Edward Snowden speaks at TED2014 about surveillance and Internet freedom. The right to data privacy, he suggests, is not a partisan issue, but requires a fundamental rethink of the role of the internet in our lives — and the laws that protect it. "Your rights matter," he say, "because you never know when you're going to need them." Chris Anderson interviews, with special guest Tim Berners-Lee.

“Where are the so-called academics and intellectuals ?…Where are the professors of Northeastern ?… Where are the professors of journalism?…Where are the Middle Eastern Studies professors that can talk about the dispossession of Palestinians since 1948?…”

“There are professors beholden to trustee boards…half of them should be in prison.”

“…. Let me call them, not by their honorific titles in positions of power, but by the names they have earned for themselves by draining the blood of the innocent into the sands of Gaza. Let me name them, for who they are: Terrorists.” - Chris Hedges

Economist Dr. Paul Craig Roberts says, "The physical stock of gold in the West to meet delivery demand is diminishing rapidly. So, one day the Chinese will buy 100 tons of gold, and we won't be able to make delivery. That would crash the system. It would just pop. So, there are things that could crash it suddenly. Regardless . . . the economy is going to gradually sink because there are no jobs, or no good jobs. . . So, there is not a recovery. The U.S. is a busted state. It's completely busted."

On the Federal Reserve money printing to prop up the economy, Dr. Roberts, who has a PhD in economics, contends, "I think they realize all the money printing does undermine the dollar, and if they lose the dollar, the game is over. So, they have to protect the dollar."

Militants from the 'right sector' which represents the junta in Kiev, staged a provocation in the streets of Kharkov, near Shevchenko theater, throwing firecrackers and spraying tear gas on passers by. The provocateurs severely misjudged the sentiment of the population. When the people realized who they were: fascist "Pravoseki", an infuriated public surrounded and beat them and they were forced to crawl down a hall of shame under police guard. The people are angry because the gold was looted from their banks, their retirement pensions cut in half, the cost of heating and cooking gas doubled, the tax on cars and motorcycles nearly doubled, taxes on cigarettes, beer, and liquor increased. Austerity based measures are being imposed. The people, the true majority in the Ukraine are awakening to a new reality of debt bondage.

Just about every Friday, the "Women in Black," show-up to demonstrate at McKeldin Square at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore. April 4th was no different. I got a chance to talk with Betsy G. Cunningham, who is a veteran activist with that peace group.

A demonstration was held by activists at McKeldin Square, in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, at 5 PM, on Wednesday, April 2, 2014. Their purpose was to respond to today’s SCTOUS decision involving campaign financing. The ruling, by a 5 to 4 vote, extends the right of fat cats donors, like the Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson, to dominate contributions to candidates in any given election cycle. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) warned the decision could lead “to an oligarchic form of society, which will control our political process.” One of the Justices, the Hon. Stephen Breyer, said: “Where enough money calls the tune, the public will not be heard.” Sharing their views on the video on this controversial decision and what the public can do about it, are: Rep. John Sarbanes (3rd-D); activists Charlie Cooper (Get Money Out of - Maryland); and Jennifer Bevan-Dangel (Common Cause of Maryland.)
