U.S. TSA forces new mom to pump milk out of her breasts in public restroom before boarding the plane. (NaturalNews) As NaturalNews readers already well know, the real agenda of the TSA has absolutely nothing to do with airport security (TSA security is a joke) and everything to do with "prisoner training" the public.
It's all about humiliation and dehumanization. It's about teaching the slave citizens that they are animals to be ordered around by a bunch of lawless government tyrants who only impersonate actual law enforcement officers (TSA "officers" are not sworn officers in any way, and they have no law enforcement training). The latest example of all this involves a Hawaiian mother who recently attempted to board an airplane in Lihue, Hawaii. She was carrying a breast pump and several empty bottles to hold her breast milk later on. For those who may not know, many new moms frequently use breast pumps to fill bottles with their own natural mother's milk which they later give to their children.
Hold on a second. (Where does the TSA invent all this crap, anyway? Troy Davis executed, supporters cry injustice. JACKSON, Ga. - Strapped to a gurney in Georgia's death chamber, Troy Davis lifted his head and declared one last time that he did not kill police officer Mark MacPhail. Just a few feet away behind a glass window, MacPhail's son and brother watched in silence. Outside the prison, a crowd of more than 500 demonstrators cried, hugged, prayed and held candles. They represented hundreds of thousands of supporters worldwide who took up the anti-death penalty cause as Davis' final days ticked away. "I am innocent," Davis said moments before he was executed Wednesday night. "All I can ask ... is that you look deeper into this case so that you really can finally see the truth. Day of Remembrance: Troy Davis Lives.
The state of Georgia shocked the world when it took Troy Davis’ life last Wednesday.
But in the wake of that outrage, the movement to end the death penalty has only grown in numbers and energy. We have heard innumerable stories of consciousness raising and transformation. People did not go home from the various protests despondent. Like us, they have committed to not forgetting what happened and are emboldened, redoubling efforts to end the callous system that has demonstrated it has no business taking human life. On Saturday, October 1, join us for a Day of Remembrance. Join us in Savannah for Troy Davis’ funeral. October 1, 11am “Celebration of Life Service” Jonesville Baptist Church 5201 Montgomery St., Savannah, Georgia For those of you who cannot make it to Savannah, please wear an “I am Troy Davis” t-shirt or black armband with “Not in my name” written on it and change your Facebook profile picture to this image: Flowers and plants can be sent to: Sidney A.
More than 700 arrested in Wall Street protest. NEW YORK, Oct 3 — Police reopened the Brooklyn Bridge after more than 700 anti-Wall Street protesters were arrested for blocking traffic lanes and attempting an unauthorised march across the span. Demonstrators from the Occupy Wall Street campaign take their cause to the neighbourhood. — Reuters pic. The top 1% - Fault Lines. The richest one per cent of Americans earn nearly a quarter of the country's income and control an astonishing 40 per cent of its wealth.
Inequality in the US is more extreme than it has been in almost a century - and the gap between the super-rich and the poor and middle class people has widened drastically over the last 30 years. Meanwhile, in Washington, a bitter partisan debate over how to cut deficit spending and reduce the US' $14.3 trillion debt is underway. As low and middle class wages stagnate and unemployment remains above nine per cent, Republicans and Democrats are tussling over whether to slash funding for the medical and retirement programmes that are the backbone of the US' social safety net, and whether to raise taxes - or to cut them further.
Youth movement in a culture of hopelessness - Features. A protest encampment near the heart of the United States' financial capital in New York City started out with a few dozen students and unemployed university graduates.
Within weeks it inspired thousands of New Yorkers to join, and spawned scores of similar protests around the country. The Top 1% Vs The Other 99% "Not Part of the 99%"? You're Fooling Yourself. "I'm not part of the 99%.
" That's the catch-phrase of a counter-protest that misunderstands the entire nature of the Occupy movement. Buying the lies that 99% activists are just a bunch of unemployed hippies looking for handouts, people like the following young student trumpet their work-ethics, and chide the rest of us for not being them. Parodying the various signs held by Occupy demonstrators, this picture epitomizes a view that misses the entire point of the protests. "The 99%" does not refer to people who want handouts; it refers to the people who pay the larger share of taxes, work the longer amount of hours, do the harder degree of work, and yet continually have our pay, jobs, health, environment and economy endangered or destroyed by the other 1%. * Having her pay or job cut so that her CEO can get a pay raise.
