#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Would the Real Left Wing Parties Please Stand Up? http://alliance.org.nz/2013/05/18/would-the-real-left-wing-parties-please-stand-up/#more-2131 The Alliance Party is amused and, quite frankly, confused, to hear John Key repeatedly refer to a possible Labour/Greens coalition as a “far left” government in the media these days. Key bases his assessment on their new power policy which would see a government provider buying all the power from generators. However Key should ponder the fact that the state owned all aspects of power generation and the distribution of electricity right up until 1999. And no one ever described the Holyoake and Muldoon led National governments of this era as “far left” because electricity was state owned. Not that being a “left wing”…http://www.twitpic.com/cshv52

The names are arranged in the order in which they were taken from us by date and within each date the names are alphabetized. It is hard to believe it is 36 years since the last casualties. The first known casualty was Richard B. Fitzgibbon, of North Weymouth , Mass. Listed by the U.S. Department of Defense as having been killed on June 8, 1956.

#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Bobby Seale originally shared to Seize the Time-Black Panther Party, 60's & Beyond (Historic): The Black Panther Party was on FBI’s COINTELPRO list. When they really started to focus on us was right after Nixon got elected. He gets elected in November 1968. One of the first people Nixon meets with – before the inauguration, before January 1969 – is J. Edgar Hoover. Now, right in the middle of December 1968, Hoover is on television saying that the Black Panthers are a threat to the internal security of America. Four months later, he is back on television saying that the Free Breakfast for Children Program is a threat to the internal security of America. In our film,“SEIZE THE TIME: The Eighth Defendant,” (a feature film focusing on life experiences as the founding Chairman and national organizer of the Black Panther Party and in turn the true history of the Black Panther Party.) we are showing real documents subpoenaed by a Senate committee that our research assistants have gotten a hold of that show Hoover sent out one communiqué as a directive to 43 district offices of the FBI. In this thing, he is directing them to do – in any creative way you can – to disrupt, discredit, and destroy the breakfast program. You must further try to make sure that moderate blacks and liberal whites do not support this program. In a Gallup poll at the time, something like 90% of the black community approved of the Panthers and the breakfast program. Those programs caused a lot of people to look at us differently from “guns.” Hoover didn’t like that. And they were on us. #blackpantherparty #bobbyseale #cointelpro #blackpanthers == All Power To All The People!

Please sign a petition to support a bill that would end the requirement that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) pre-fund 75 years of retiree health care benefits. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) filed legislation to end this requirement. The legislation that forces the requirement, passed by Congress in 2006, is unprecedented, as no other private or public entity has to meet such a standard. That requirement is the key factor driving Postal Service deficits and defaults and has led to proposals to en…http://www.twitpic.com/cp9b1e
