A new global treaty could allow corporations to police what we do on the Internet. Last week we successfully pushed back the US censorship bills — if we act now, we can get the EU Parliament to bury this new threat — add your voice now!

Jill Stein (Likely Green Party Candidate) to Run First Federally Funded Campaign in US History

She has been to various occupations all across the country, and she says they were all opened the door to her. She almost got mic checked by some of the more anti-politician occupiers, but after listening to her speak for a few minutes, they were all like, “So wait, why are we mic checking her? She just said what we were going to say.” Many times she’s heard occupiers say, “Oh, wait, you’re just like us!”

She also plans to run the first publicly funded presidential election in US history. Check this out, to qualify for matching federal funds for the primary, she only needs to raise $5000 in 20 states. In the general, she can qualify for $20 million in public funds! Not bad, huh?

She encouraged and supported the efforts of Rocky Anderson’s Justice Party, as well.

Senator Paul Introduced a bill today to remove the section regarding detention of American Citizens from the NDAA bill. At least there’s one person in government who cares about safeguarding our freedoms.

Life through the eyes of a Bear

Give this one a chance, it’s a pretty powerful experience. It’s the full life of a bear narrated and plotted on a sort of interactive 3d map with all the surveillence camera footage of him and other animals, and plots of the trains and animals walking around. You kind of have to chase the bear to keep up with his whereabouts.

Give it a chance. By the time you understand what’s going on you’ll be hooked.

Fascinating. In the ’70s, 15 young volunteers recreated an Iron Age settlement, where they sustained themselves for a year equipped with only the tools, crops, and livestock that would have been available in Britan in the 2nd Century BC.

How the rich-poor gap issue in the U.S. and the world will play out this year. Interestingly the Greek historian and biographer Plutarch, who lived from 46-120 AD once made this observation, “An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.” Unfortunately, so far the dynamic seems to be mostly that the severely wealthy interpret the current political climate as an attack on them, rather than as a call to re-ignite a system that builds the middle class and lifts up the poor.
