OpEdNews Bold and Daring: The Way Progressive News Should Be Ex-intel officials: Pentagon report proves US complicity in ISIS -- INSURGE intelligence The 'R' Word is Out The First Freedom Act I spent three of the four past days at some very cool conferences.  I tweeted some of the wisdom I heard. Here's a link to those tweets for Personal Democracy Forum, a conference that explores the intersection between the internet, smart phones and government, politics, transparency, civic actions and activism, and occasionally revolutions and whistleblowing. The second conference was IRE-- the investigative reporters and editors conference. Here's a link to all the tweets people posted for #IRE15 Yesterday, was more relaxing. I spend a good part of the eye looking real sharks in the eye... Yep. I got up close and looked this shark in the eye before I released him, back into the ocean near Cape May NJ. I didn't want to keep her out of the water long, so I didn't check the quality of the image first. Too bad, the five sharks I caught and released had beautiful, irridescent eyes. I never knew that before.  Have a great one,  rob kall Support Opednews. Make a tax deductible donation to make OEN Strong.

Read More >> Thou Shalt Not Kill By Chris Hedges The military also incentivizes killing. If you do well at marksmanship you get rewarded with three-day passes. You only think about the points you can get from becoming an expert marksman. You don't think about the act of taking a human life. Those who kill are supposed to be heroes.

While generously conceding that Snowden has "a strong argument for leniency," they nonetheless insist that "in a society of laws, someone who engages in civil disobedience in a higher cause should be prepared to accept the consequences."

(Can anyone using the term even define what "left wing" means anymore?) The progressive agenda is America's story -- from ending slavery to ending segregation to establishing a woman's right to vote to Social Security, the right to organize, and the fight for fair pay and against income inequality. Strip those from our history and you might as well contract America out to the US Chamber of Commerce the National Association of Manufacturers, and Karl Rove, Inc.

By Joseph Zernik News last week, that three judges were jailed in the latest corruption scandal, was immediately gagged by the Jerusalem court. As is the case in the United States, Prior Restraint of the press is prohibited by Israeli law, absent "clear and present danger". In practice, the courts routinely gag the press, in what is seen as a coordinated effort by the justice system to cover-up its own corruption.

"Derp" is a term borrowed from the cartoon "South Park" that has achieved wide currency among people I talk to, because it's useful shorthand for an all-too-obvious feature of the modern intellectual landscape: people who keep saying the same thing no matter how much evidence accumulates that it's completely wrong. Making the same wrong prediction year after year, never acknowledging past errors or considering the possibility that you have the wrong model of how the economy works -- well, that's derp. And there's a lot of derp out there. Read More >> Harrowing Account of Attempting to Get Into Gaza from Egypt By Johnny Barber There is no way Americans will be allowed to pass. It is not Egyptian policy, but American policy. U.S. Citizens are no longer permitted to enter Gaza through Rafah Crossing because the U.S. Embassy in Cairo will not permit it, there is nothing to be done.

Chris Christie of New Jersey, said on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday that Clinton "doesn't know what she's talking about." "I think what Governor Christie is saying distracts from the core point of the dialogue we have to have," de Blasio said in a separate interview. "We have a democracy problem in this country. We have declining voter turnout. Secretary Clinton put forward a notion we need a national strategy to energize voting again, to get people involved.

Rick Perry has a message for Wall Street during his second campaign that could just as easily come from a progressive candidate on the left: No special treatment from Washington. In practice, he said that means regulations for Wall Street banks - something that is not always popular among the GOP. "If they make bad decisions, let them live with those bad decisions. Don't bail them out," he said. Read More >>  Latest Articles And the winner of the Jihad World Cup is... The fiction remains that the coalition is supporting remaining "moderate rebels" of the Free Syrian Army (FSA). There are no "moderate" rebels left; they all migrated to al-Nusra or ISIS/ISIL/Daesh because that's where the action is -- from tons of weapons to actual military prowess on the ground.

Now billionaires Sheldon Adelson and Haim Saban, split on U.S. politics, have united to fight boycott threats against Israel. Adelson and Saban hosted a conference of pro-Israel business executives and activists over the weekend in Las Vegas, to begin an initiative aimed at countering the growing threat of international sanctions against Israel. "That he's a Democrat and I'm a Republican has really very little to do with it," said Las Vegas Sands Corp. founder Adelson, who holds the 25th slot on Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, in a joint interview with Saban on Israel's Channel 2 on Saturday. While you can "rest assured" the two men will not be supporting the same person in the 2016 presidential election, Saban said, "when it comes to Israel, we are absolutely on the same page."

Snowden is the subject of an Oscar-winning documentary and credited with spurring the surveillance reform push on Capitol Hill, but has also been denounced as a traitor, and the ethics of his actions remain the subject of fierce debate.

With the text of Trans-Pacific Partnership hidden from the public, TRNN's Jessica Desvarieux speaks to those who have read the document and who say this level of secrecy is unprecedented.The text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, has become one of the biggest secrets in Washington. This international treaty includes 12 countries and represents more than 40 percent of the world's GDP. But the text is not available to the public, and what the public does know about the deal comes from three leaked chapters sent to WikiLeaks. And now the website is looking to raise $100,000 towards a cash reward to anyone willing to reveal the rest of the 26 chapters of the TPP.
