Answer: DNA farmers.
Disturbing article from @greyparker’s The Hand That Feeds You - disturbing because it’s true. Beware consent forms, I guess. #Ick
Bloggers respond to Homeland Security agency... →
oldParasiteSingle: This happens to be about the only other thing I had wanted to put in my tumblr blog this week. My twitter stream is filled with tossed reference tags to #HomelandInSecurity I use #HomelandInsecurity broadly however to refer to domestic surveillance, illegal imprisonment, interrogations, chemical warfare, and coordinated activist purges like those we have seen this year around ...
Debt Supercommittee and 2012 election fixing
Lately Ive been neglecting BOTH my Tumblr political blog and my google Blogger dream diary. Part of the neglect is the kittens have begun to imprint on me since their attentive momma was killed 2 weeks ago. I trained them to knock on my bedroom door when they want in. They constantly interrupt my interactions with the computer. Another part of the blog neglect is my computer shorted out while I...
PBSNeedToKnow Poll: Putting veterans to work →
This poll on Veterans Day seems like a no-brainer until you realize that all other parts of Obama’s jobs bill was shit-canned by the stupor committee. Dropout vets are the only ones to get any kind of a bailout next year since we are moving to the Great Austerity. 99ers like myself and the disabled are still universally expected to behave as charming hobos while the stupor committee looks...
#OccupyCarbondale makes SIL Cover lead-SIU... →
#occupyCarbondale was looking pretty disheartened Oct 29. One of them said to me “I dont know what will happen if the students don’t join us…How we are going to get through the winter?” On Nov 2 their facebook wall said they were having a 5:30 pm General Assembly “To discuss how we are going to last through the winter.” There is typically an ebb of students...
Goldman Sachs To Be (Mock) Tried By People's Court... →
cultureofresistance:
Goldman Sachs will be tried this Thursday, November 3, for crimes against the American public. Cornel West, noted civil rights activist, and Chris Hedges, Pulitzer Prize winner, will be among those presiding, and testimony for the prosecution will include individuals who have been directly affected and harmed by the actions of Goldman Sachs. The trial is open to the public,...
Consumer Protection for Military Service members... →
Live Senate hearing on cspan 3 after 9 am central time that I plan to watch today. Testimony by retired officers about how petty banksters protected by the powerful hedge fund lobbies prey on US troops between deployments. It makes sense since the #1 biggest employer in US is the military-industrial complex. Walmart is only #2 biggest and preys exclusively on its own worker-slaves. So the...
Kentucky governor's race yields most offensive... →
oldParasiteSingle: My guess is this is KY-style payback for #AquaBuddha election controversy. Remember US Presidents are usually selected by ‘top 1%’ from motley collection of Senators and Governors. I take this as a sign that GOP Senators have too much time on their hands after No-voting, secret-blocking, and filibustering their ways to early weekends.

Privatizing FOSTER CARE? What. The. FUCK.
A year-long NPR News investigation has found that nearly 700 Native American children in South Dakota are being removed from their homes every year.
In South Dakota, Native American children make up less than 15 percent of the child population, yet they make up more than half of the children in foster care. Nearly 90 percent of them...
