We have been pleased by the number of people showing up at the statehouse in Raleigh, North Carolina every Monday, sacrificing their freedom and their bodies to protest the regressive agenda of the extreme right. But we are not surprised.
We have worked since 2005, when 20,000 civil rights warriors across the state elected me to lead the NC NAACP, the largest NAACP conference in the American south. Since 2007, we have mobilized thousands of whites, blacks and Latinos; gay (…)

By Ben Jealous, President, NAACP
On April 29, seventeen dedicated activists were arrested for civil disobedience at the North Carolina General Assembly as they protested attacks on education, health care, voting rights and the poor. Six weeks and six “Moral Mondays” later, nearly 400 people have been locked up, and the nation is watching.
This is what democracy looks like.
The peaceful protests were started by Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II, president of the North Carolina NAACP (…)

Vladimir Putin Nemesis of the New World Order
Mother Russia is a much different country from the Stalin gulags. With all the faults of a long tradition of authoritarian rule, it is natural for observers in the West to be suspect of the latest would be Czar. The remnants of the cold war linger with concerns of the true motives and goals of a second Vladimir Putin era. By most reliable accounts, he never left the power circle prior to his return as President. Upon his latest election, The (…)

McDonald’s closing all restaurants in Bolivia as nation rejects fast food
(NaturalNews) McDonald’s happy image and its golden arches aren’t the gateway to bliss in Bolivia. This South American country isn’t falling for the barrage of advertising and fast food cooking methods that so easily engulf countries like the United States. Bolivians simply don’t trust food prepared in such little time. The quick and easy, mass production method of fast food actually turns Bolivians off altogether. (…)

Speak Up To Stop Abuse Of Elderly
I can sadly say, elder abuse and neglect is a silent epidemic in our communities. According to research funded by the National Institute of Justice, almost 11 percent of people ages 60 and older, or 5.7 million individuals, suffered from some form of abuse in 2009. In our world, elders are being deprived of food, medical care, a safe environment, or being physically, emotionally or financially abused.
According to the National Council on Aging, elder (…)

45 Years of Poisoned Aerosols
… by Bob Nichols
(San Francisco) On land leased from Camp Pendleton by a civilian utility, three giant steam engines used to make close to nine billion watts of heat. When they worked right, that energy made about three billion watts of electricity. Except, of course, when they broke and did not; but, they still made the heat. ...

While the world is suffering a worsening global warming crisis due to ever-increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution, we are paradoxically experiencing a gas boom and a gas a rush throughout the world. While the world urgently needs to implement 100% renewable energy and concomitantly decrease and eventually cease GHG pollution, massive corporate spin falsely asserts that “gas is clean” and that a first step to a clean energy future is to replace coal burning for power with gas burning. (…)

In a previous Pravda.Ru article entitled Welcome to the Village (October 25, 2010), I discussed how the United States government’s ability to spy upon its own citizens was eerily similar to the techniques used in the classic 1960s sci-fi drama The Prisoner.
Sadly, this article did not garner much attention, primarily because people who argued that humanity’s growing dependency on cell phones, e-mails, the Internet, and other such technologies would increase the potential for government (…)
