Stop outsourcing jobs!
High-paying manufacturing jobs is what raises a country's standard of living, and GDP. (Just look at China). We all can't be selling insurance to one another, or base our economy on just low-paying retail, fast food, service, or military jobs, because eventually even those jobs will dry up, when no one has the purchasing power to afford to buy a new home, mortgage, car payments, etc. Manufacturing employment is what made America the iindustrial power it once was, back in the 50's and 60's for example;
When we were exporting more goods then we were importing. Now, it is quite a different story however, where we currently have the largest trade and budget deficit in our history; Much of it caused by outsourcing, and manufacturing jobs going overseas. There are some good people in congress who want to change that. And some bad one's, who want to block their efforts...

Ships by Barry Manilow
Not to get too sentimental or morbid, or anything. But I post this video, and share this beautiful tune, in memory (and in honour) of my father Richard; Who, (to the best of my knowledge) passed-away on this day (Sept. 28th) all those years ago, when I was still a kid. He was a really good man, and someone I will never forget. This song sort of reminds me of those times when he used to take me to the docks, by the water, back when we used to live in the Bronx, and when I was still very young. "Like two shps that pass in the night", he was here and then he was gone. But maybe, our loved one's who have passed, are really somehow "still here, but just out of sight", as the song goes. There are many wise, intuitive, and insightful people who do believe that, for more reasons then one...

Put Elections Back in Voters' Hands
As I have stated before. I think this subject (i.e. Campaign Finance Reform) is one of the most important issues facing our country today...

9/11 CONSPIRACY: BUSH-NAZI CRIME FAMILY HISTORY
And just to finally bring home the point made in the previous video blogs, in reference to right-wing, militant, Christian Fundamentalism and its relation to C-Street and 'The Family' for instance, (which is a very provocative and revealing book by Jeff Sharlet) and their political supporters; And in the month of the anniversary of 9/11, I post this piece of brilliant investigative reporting. It is an absolutely fascinating video, comparing the Hitler regime's Reichstag fire and subsequent invasion of Poland, with the events of 9/11/2001 and the unprovoked invasion of Iraq. Need I say more?
Waiting For Armageddon Trailer
"World War III has started!" Is what one of the crazy evangelicals in this trailer yells-out. Oh yeah. Sort of says it all, doesn't it?
Review - Waiting For Armageddon, Scary Documentary
Here is yet another video in this series of (what I strongly believe anyway) are some very disturbing and dangerous views, within right-wing militant Christian Fundamentalism, and it's (unprecedented) political influence on many of our radical conservative politcians...
Large RW Christian Group Plans Government Takeover & More w/ Talk2action...
This is related to the previous video post regarding right-wing, Christian Fundamentalism, and its political ties...
For whatever it's worth, (without invading one's civil rights and privacy, of course), I personally believe, that many in the Tea Party, and related Christian militant, right-wing movements, are extremely dangerous, and should be watched by Federal law enforcement; Just from some of the things they have said and done, so far. Especially, those who carry weapons to rallys, presidential appearences at town hall meetings, etc. But, that of course, is just my opinion...
RW Christians Chanting For The Rapture?
I think this video episode of The Young Turks is very telling about what is going on in our country right now with the radical far-right, and within much of the Tea Party movement...

City Room: Watching 'Serpico' With Serpico
One of my favorite people of all time! Frank Serpico. Big time hero of mine. If we had more individuals like him in law enforcement, and publicly promoted more people like him as what a real-life role model should be (rather then The Sorpranos, for example) this would be an entirely different country...
This is a trailer from the actual movie of the real life character, 'Serpico'; Played by Al Pacino. I love the comment from one of the YouTube viewers, that I think says allot: "Who knew that being honest could be so rebellious"! Right-on...

Echoes of a Shofar
I post this in honour of Yom Kippur, which falls on Sept. 18th this year. Shared by a friend on facebook by the name of Alon...
Cops on Camera
Inadvertantly came across this video from the Institute for Justice facebook page. I totally agree. The law should never be one-sided. A public official, especially someone in law-enforcement has the mandated obligation to do the right thing, on behalf of the people they serve. That is why we have the motto: "to serve and to protect". When they lose sight of that, and that motto is even despised, it becomes a problem for every honest, law-abiding citizen (and every honest cop for that matter), and an injustice. And also gives the bad guys an advantage. Note: Turned-out to be a follow-up to several previous related posts...

Manny Badillo at the 9/11/2010 Memorial Ceremony
This video is from the 'BuildingWhat' YouTube channel. BuildingWhat.org, along with NYC CAN are related organizations (from what I understand) founded by the families of the victims of the tragedy and crime that took place on Sept. 11th, 2001; And who are seeking answers, justice, and the truth regarding what really happened on that terrible day...
New 9/11 photos 'prove WTC exploded from inside'
Still many more questions then answers, nine years later, no less! The 'False Flag' operation thing, if true, is particularly disturbing; And may very well be at least part of what was going on here. Everybody else, either directly or indirectly involved (and who had foreknowledge of the coming catastrophe) basically just drank the kool-aid, jumped on the band-wagon, and took advantage of a very bad situation, for their own gain; So it would seem...

Dennis Kucinich: 911 Truth and Reconciliation
Rep. Dennis Kucinich's statement commemorating the anniversary of the Sept. 11th nightmare. The nightmare that just seemed to go on and on, even till this day. One of the few politicians who really wants answers and justice, and to hold certain individuals accountable. He's a good man...

To rob a country, own a bank
I believe this is just one other reason why we seriously need 'Campaign Finance Reform'. The information contained in this video provides a brilliant expose' of how corruption within much of the Financial and Mortgage Industry has been allowed to totally spiral out of control, and gives the main reasons why, and its consequences...

The Zapruder Film of 9/11 - Daniel Sunjata
Our Nation has unfortunately become notorious for this kind of sh*t. Damn!
Help Put This Ad On Air - Go to BuildingWhat.org
For the anniversary of the tragedy and crime that took place on Sept. 11th, 2001, I post this video ad in honour of the families of the victims, and the victims themselves, who were murdered on that fateful day.
The World Trade Center's Building 7 is a "smoking gun" if ever I saw one. W.T.F.?!!!
