SANDERS: ... there is more coverage about the political gossip of a campaign, about raising money, about polling, about somebody saying something dumb, or some kid works for a campaign sends out something stupid on Facebook, right? We can expect that to be a major story. But what your job is, what the media's job is, is to say, look, these are the major issues facing the country. We're a democracy. People have different points of view. Let's argue it. Continue reading →

Berlin needs an independent candidate on its Town Council to counter and prevent the dominance of a major political party from unilaterally imposing its agenda and will on the citizens of Berlin. Our Town Council has been voting along strict party lines on key issues even though members pledged to reach across the aisle. It has dismissed or circumvented the results of referendums, reducing them to mere dog-and-pony shows. Berlin has more unaffiliated voters than those of the two major parties. Let's petition, nominate, and place on the ballot an independent candidate to represent these citizens and prevent the control of our Town by the dominant party on the Town Council. If interested, please contact us: berlinctpropertyownersassn@gmail.com. Continue reading →

"This is supposed to be a political party. In a healthy society, there would be a democratic process in the Democratic Party, by which elected people would be overseeing these issues by making sure there wasn’t just nepotism and insider dealing," Curry says. "That the political party itself — which is supposed to be the progressive party — has become mortgaged to a small group of Washington insiders, who raise money from large corporate PACs, [and] has become just a dead carcass of what it once was, is the most important piece of information that this contretemps over the data files has emphasized. It’s time for progressives in this country to stand up and demand a genuinely democratic process." Continue reading →

JONES: You talked about the person we always talk about, Donald Trump. Let's talk about the person we never talk about, we just heard from. Bernie Sanders has incredible momentum. He's had almost a media blackout. We -- I mean, he's almost never the subject of the main conversation. But out in the country, you see a lot of Bernie Sanders support. He got more contributions, individual donors, than anybody in American history. That by itself lets you know something's going on. I think he's going to win Iowa. He may win New Hampshire.

Bernie Sanders would have already won this nominating contest if we had received an accurate accounting of the vote. It is deeply troubling the Senator would be sending out surrogates to talk about his allegiance to the Democratic party and Clinton in general in the face of the Party instituting theft against its own constituents. It is no mystery HOW to win. Count the votes and contest fraud. A tough Sane Progressive call out. Continue reading →

Leaders of political revolutions never quit before the official battle begins, and say that they will vote for and support their enemies. When the moment arrived of walking all that endless talk of Bernie Sanders about fighting his political revolution, he caved out of self interest Continue reading →

we know how politics works in the United States. Whoever—whatever political party gets into government is going to merge with the bureaucracy pretty damn fast. It will be in a position where it has some levers in its hand. And so, as a result, corporate lobbyists will move in to help control those levers. So it doesn’t make much difference in the end. What does make a difference is political accountability, a general deterrence set to stop political organizations behaving in a corrupt manner. Continue reading →

Bernie Sanders and Jane Sanders are mere actors serving as pressure valves which release from time to time all excess heat emanating from failed policies, scandals, and the worsening economic conditions, so that a catastrophic systems’ collapse can be prevented. They are sheepdogs for Hillary Clinton, preventing progressives from supporting a third party progressive candidate and to herd them back into the corral of the Democratic Party. Continue reading →

"Well, reducing the election to personalities is kind of infantile at this point. The fact is, we live in a system that Sheldon Wolin calls inverted totalitarianism. It’s a system where corporate power has seized all of the levers of control. There is no way to vote against the interests of Goldman Sachs or ExxonMobil or Raytheon." Continue reading →

When longtime independent Senator Bernie Sanders lost his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, he concluded his campaign by endorsing Hillary Clinton instead of a third-party candidate. "This huge, wonderful effort that he launched is now aborted," says our guest, four-time former presidential candidate Ralph Nader. "Sanders hasn’t returned a call from me in 18 years. He is a lone ranger. He doesn’t like to be pushed into more progressive action than he is willing to adhere to. As a result, millions of his voters now are in disarray. They don’t know where to go." Nader has a new book titled "Breaking Through Power: It’s Easier Than We Think." Continue reading →

Noor asks Hedges how the presidential nominees should respond to these types of terrorist attacks in the U.S. “Their response should be the end of the occupation in the Middle East and the cessation of saturation bombing by drones and military aircrafts and missiles in parts of Iraq and Syria and Pakistan and Yemen and Somalia,” Hedges responds. He goes on to explain how decades of foreign policy decisions made by both parties have created the circumstances for terrorist attacks. Continue reading →

People from outside the major parties who are pursuing elected office are exercising their First Amendment rights, and calling them spoilers is an act of “political bigotry” that should never be tolerated by the American people, civil rights champion and four-time presidential candidate Ralph Nader told “Democracy Now!” Nader’s comments come one week before the 2016 nominees’ first presidential debates, which the Commission on Presidential Debates—a private corporation owned and controlled by the Republican and Democratic parties—announced Friday will exclude both Jill Stein of the Green Party and Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party.

Questions surrounding Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation continue to grow. On Sunday, Democratic National Committee interim chairperson Donna Brazile defended Clinton’s meetings as secretary of state with Clinton Foundation donors, saying, "When Republicans meet with their donors, with their supporters, their activists, they call it a meeting. When Democrats do that, they call it a conflict." Donna Brazile’s comments come in response to an Associated Press investigation revealing that while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state, more than half of the private citizens she met with during the reporting period had donated to the Clinton Foundation. The AP investigation comes after a three-year battle to gain access to State Department calendars. The analysis shows that at least 85 of 154 people Hillary Clinton had scheduled phone or in-person meetings with were foundation donors. We speak to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept. His most recent piece is headlined "Why Did the Saudi Regime and Other Gulf Tyrannies Donate Millions to the Clinton Foundation?" Continue reading →

Grow a spine. Bernie Sanders, when are you going to risk losing your friendship with the Democrats to help your country? When are you going to risk doing that? You had a stupid secret agreement not to attack Hillary Clinton, and you stayed by it, and then when the country needed you to do something with your movement, you told them to go work for the Machine. And now you're telling them to back Chuck Schumer. Continue reading →

Bernie Sanders' voting record is not progressive. It has been reported on Facebook that Bernie has voted 98% of the time in agreement with Senate Democrats and 93% of the time in agreement with Hillary Clinton.

"The Attack Of The Dead Men", новое концертное видео группы SABATON, доступно для просмотра ниже. Эта песня взята со свежего альбома группы «The Great War». Материал был записан в ходе концерта группы в Москве, который состоялся 13 марта. Во время шоу на сцену неожиданно поднялся RADIO TAPOK и исполнил эту песню вместе с группой.

RADIO TAPOK – российский музыкант, получивший известность благодаря исполнению множества рок и метал кавер-версий на русском языке. Музыкант ранее уже выпускал свою кавер-версию «The Attack Of The Dead Men» по-русски.

Басист и мастермайнд SABATON Pär Sundström:

«Наша совместная работа с Radio Tapok - это особая честь для нас. Это очень талантливый музыкант, и его кавер на нашу песню «Attack Of The Dead Men» был принят так тепло, что мы не раздумывая решили пригласить его на сцену, чтобы вместе с нами исполнить эту песню на концертах в Москве и Санкт-Петербурге. А выступление получилось таким хорошим, что у нас не осталось другого выбора, кроме как выпустить нашу совместную работу в виде сингла!»

Песня «The Attack Of The Dead Men» посвящена событиям, связанным с крепостью Осовец во время Первой мировой войны, и знаменитой битве, где немецкие войска применили химическое оружие на основе хлора против российских защитников крепости, у которых не было средств от газовой атаки: они были вынуждены от отчаяния закрывать лица мокрой одеждой. Нападающие не ожидали, что кто-либо в крепости останется в живых, поэтому ответная атака стала абсолютно неожиданной и успешной. Кашляющие кровью защитники с лицами, обмотанными окровавленными тряпками, пошли вперед и обратили противника в бегство – так родилась знаменитая легенда об «атаке мертвецов».

Сейчас сингл доступен на цифровых платформах, а 10 июля 2020 будет выпущено специальное лимитированное издание на 12”-дюймовом виниле «The Attack Of The Dead Men' (Live in Moscow feat. RADIO TAPOK)». Планируется три вида: желто-зеленый винил с «брызгами» (специальное российское издание, подробнее по ссылке), цветной винил, пикчер диск. Все издания выходят ограниченным тиражом 666 шт.

Последний на сегодняшний день альбом SABATON «The Great War» был выпущен в 2019 году. Он занял первые места в чартах разных стран, включая Германию, Швейцарию и Швецию. Диск был прекрасно принят как поклонниками, так и критикой. Работа содержит ряд песен, которые стали выдающимися и хитовыми синглами: «Great War», «82nd All The Way», «The Red Baron» и «Fields of Verdun».

Недавно SABATON были вынуждены отложить часть концертов своего тура по России из-за пандемии коронавируса. Сейчас стали известны новые даты, в графике появились новые города.

"Мы успели отыграть девять концертов из 18-ти, пока этот чертов вирус не вынудил нас отменить все остальные. С тех самых пор мы работали днем и ночью, чтобы найти возможность вернуться в Россию и Беларусь и закончить начатое. Тур проходил фантастически до того момента, когда нам пришлось прервать его, и мы с нетерпением ждем своего возвращения" – говорит Pär Sundström.

В новом интервью с SiriusXM "Trunk Nation" у легендарного гитариста Tony Iommi спросили, доволен ли он тем, как прошёл прощальный тур BLACK SABBATH "The End", на что он ответил:

«Было здорово иметь возможность отправиться в последний тур. Честно говоря, я чувствовал себя неважно [из-за] этого, потому что в основном это был мой выбор, моя вина, потому что турне для меня в некоторой степени было в физическом плане не самой лучшей идеей. Я имею в виду, что приходилось возвращаться в часа утра после концерта — ты отыграл концерт, а потом летишь обратно в отель — это было много возвращений поздними ночами. Я находился в таких же условиях, как когда мне было 20. Несмотря на то, что мы путешествовали [на] лучших [условиях] — у нас был собственный самолет, у нас были потрясающие отели, и нас разместили в Нью-Йорке или Лос-Анджелесе на 10 дней, или где-то ещё, это было вот так. Выходили из отеля, летели на самолёте, давали концерт, возвращались, но к тому времени, как мы заканчивали, возвращались в отель и ложились спать, уже было три-четыре часа. А для меня это было трудно, и мой доктор сказал мне попробовать немного успокоиться. И в то время это казалось правильным.

Особенно после всего, что случилось с Ронни [Джеймсом Дио], мне очень понравился тот период [с HEAVEN & HELL], когда мы были снова с Дио, мы очень сблизились с этой группой, и это была отличная группа. А потом мы решили заново собрать SABBATH с Ozz'ом [Ozzy Osbourne'ом], и это было круто для завершения карьеры. Но я думаю, что если бы Ронни был жив, я бы, наверное, делал что-нибудь с ним сейчас».

Iommi также ответил на вопрос, возможны ли разовые выступления группы:

«Думаю, это было бы неплохо, ну если мы сможем это сделать. Сложность в том, по крайней мере с SABBATH, что это всё серьёзное предприятие, ты не можешь просто взять и отыграть, так как нужны техники, полная линейка оборудования и всё такое. И это должен быть год или полтора тура... Я не против чего-то такого, я просто хотел бы всё сделать иначе». #Black_Sabbath #BlackSabbath #HardRock #Hard_Rock #HeavyMetal #Heavy_Metal

Each year, weather-related power outages cost the U.S. economy as much as $33 billion a year. Additionally, one severe weather event has the potential to impact the daily lives and routines of millions of people. As 2017 marks the fifth anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, The Weather Company, an IBM Business (NYSE: IBM) and Zpryme are releasing the results of a survey that found that U.S. utility companies still feel underprepared for weather-related outages and that their reactive approach to outage prediction leads to lost time and resources.
