Students and teachers here say they’re studying harder these days to prepare for a fight. Across the country, banners, slogans and artwork have been redrawn to focus on fighting “the imperialist Americans and their traitorous followers,” [...] Dave Andrusko Over the course of the last 20 years no one has written more intelligently or in greater depth about the two-drug RU-486 abortion technique than Dr. Randall K. O’Bannon, NRLC’s Director of Education. The two latest examples of his scholarship can be read at http://nrlc.cc/13KEYVg andhttp://nrlc.cc/ZEIaVt, but there are dozens and dozens more. From the earliest days in the Clinton Administration, Dr. O’Bannon carefully demonstrated how [...] Pics: http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/racist-sexist-slur-filled-graffiti-covers-new-wtc-article-1.1249195 Bathrooms populating the still-unfinished One World Trade Center tower are overrun with racist, sexist graffiti, according to a report on NYDailyNews.com. Countless instances of the N-word, slams against Jewish and Irish people, white power slogans and deplorable sexist remarks comprise the vandalism, which workers say is everywhere in the 104-story structure that sits on what many consider sacred ground.

Are they killing themselves because of politics, sadness, despair, religion, [...] Yesterday, in what is an appetizer to the great 2013 convergence trade (that, between the now thoroughly dead Greek and the Spanish economy, which is rapidly getting there, of course), several thousand Spanish policemen took the streets of Madrid protesting the latest round of austerity, which included frozen pensions and the elimination of the Christmas bonus (they will have many more opportunities to protest not only the loss of any future upside, but the [...] Thousands of Russian nationalists, some wearing swastikas, marched through Moscow on Sunday to protest against immigration. There were chants of slogans such as ‘Russia for the Russians’ to protest President Vladimir Putin’s government. Expressing resentment at the number of migrants from the Caucasus and Central Asia living in the country, they chanted: ‘Moscow is a Russian city.’ Nationalists accuse the Kremlin of lavishing privileges on migrants and minorities while ignoring ethnic Russians. Nationalist [...] other shop owners to close their shops. “If you have dignity close your shops” the protesters are heard chanting on the video. Police threatened merchants who closed their shops and launched crackdowns on pavement money changers, as part of strict measures being used by the authorities to halt the currency plunge. The measures underscore the serious concern by officials facing one of the most potentially destabilizing scenarios, which has been partly blamed on [...] From Zero Hedge: Anti-Japan protests may have quieted down on the day after the anniversary of Japan’s invasion of China, but that does not mean anything has been resolved, and the Chinese 1000-boat armada is still supposedly on its way to the Senkakus. Elsewhere, the U.S. foreign department may have to promptly find an anti-Buddhist hate tape made in the U.S., because otherwise the attack of the U.S. ambassador Gary Locke’s car [...]

Riot police and ordinary officers cordoned off the [...] From Washington’s Blog: The director of the National Security Agency under Ronald Reagan – Lt. General William Odom – noted: Because the United States itself has a long record of supporting terrorists and using terrorist tactics, the slogans of today’s war on terrorism merely makes the United States look hypocritical to the rest of the world. Odom also said: By any measure, the U.S. has long used terrorism. In ’78-’79 the Senate was trying [...] Victim, 33, escaped to neighbor’s home in Lincoln, Nebraska Three masked men broke into a woman’s home, bound her hands and feet before carving anti-gay slurs into her body in a vicious hate crime, authorities said.
