#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Controversial Plaza 'Attic' Back on the Market for $59 Million http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2013/06/07/controversial_plaza_attic_back_on_the_market_for_59_million.php The lawsuit over the Plaza penthouse once purchased by Andrei Vavilov might be a little ridiculous—he sued on the grounds that the developers hadn't given him the “light and airy expanse” they promised, but had instead given him something more like an attic—all signs point to the fact that buyers haven't exactly been thrilled with this particular property. The latest sign: the penthouse is back on the market as of yesterday, this time asking $59 million. Avid Plaza fans might recall that the apartment sold last spring for a little more than $25 million (after a long wait and some PriceChoppage), so why the extravagant flip attempt?

It serves as a “check and a balance” to our elected and non-elected leaders and informs the public of news for the greater good. But what if that was compromised by a corporate power grab?That's exactly what the panel “Should the Koch Brothers Own The Tribune Newspapers?” will examine next Wednesday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C…
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Journalists detained, beaten, obstructed in Istanbul http://www.cpj.org/2013/06/journalists-detained-beaten-obstructed-in-istanbul.php Anti-press violence intensified in Istanbul on Sunday as police aggressively sought to obstruct reporters covering demonstrations against the government, according to news reports and CPJ interviews. The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on authorities to halt their harassment of the press. “The heart of Turkey has become an epicenter of official violence and obstruction of the press,” CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. “If the government of Prime Minister Erdogan is genuine about its democratic commitments, it must allow journalists–both foreign and domestic–to report freely on the ongoing news events in the country.” RELATED: http://en.rsf.org/turquie-mounting-police-violence-against-17-06-2013,44808.html
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty I Saw the Secret Trade Deal http://alangraysonemails.tumblr.com/post/53325968066/i-saw-the-secret-trade-deal For No Real Reason. You spoke, they listened. Last month, 10,000 of us submitted comments to the United States Trade Representative (USTR), in which we objected to new so-called free trade agreements. We asked that the government not sell out our democracy to corporate interests. Because of this pressure, the USTR finally let a member of Congress – little ole me, Alan Grayson – actually see the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The TPP is a large, secret trade agreement that is being negotiated with many countries in East Asia and South America. The TPP is nicknamed “NAFTA on steroids.” Now that I’ve read it, I can see why. I can’t tell you what’s in the agreement, because the U.S. Trade Representative calls it classified. But I can tell you two things about it. 1) There is no national security purpose in keeping this text secret. 2) This agreement hands the sovereignty of…
