This is a great newscast, real journalism in getting the stories in real time. Part is in Gaza and the other part is in the Ukraine covering the MH17 plane Crash of Malaysia Airlines.
I must mention if you pay attention around 17:15 where they show the site of the crash, you will notice a book that is not burned, a stuffed animal that is not burned and other objects. The black box was found. Compare that to the crash sites on 9/11. I am not talking about the one at the WTC where we should have found the real black box, but the other crash sites. At both sites, you do not see any plane or personal debris. There are no bodies anywhere in the videos. Strange huh? Come on, reality check. Reality folks, obvious reality.

Body of War
Susan Robens Photography
This is truly one of the best docs that I have seen. Please share this with as many people as you can. This doc reflects the reality of war and expresses the things that I have seen and known and tried to express for a very long time. It is a story about a war veteran who returned to America. He is trying to manage his life and his disabilities and become a voice. My heart goes out to all of the American vets who have given their time and their bodies for our unjust wars. Many of Americans are deceived and we are being deceived once again. Our government has prepared a ton of propaganda to prepare the American people to enter into Syria. Not for justice, but to oust President Assad and to replace him with someone that we want. Syria is a sovereign country and we have no right to go in and offer more weapons of mass destruction and train others to fight. As we have done with both Al Qaida and ISIL. The more bombing, the more enemies that we create.
Just like the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Has all of Israel's bombings and taking of land and killing of families created peace and justice in the land or has it created more enemies. The difference between Israel and America is that we cannot create walls to keep our newly created enemies out.
Please watch.

The Truth About ISIS & Obama's War Speech
Susan Robens Photography
Talk about the reality of why we are going in Syria and the truth behind this new ever lasting war. These constant wars cost trillions of dollars and is ongoing to benefit whom? Not Americans. These wars endanger the very lives of Americans abroad and who want to do humanitarian work or provide the news.
America's infrastructure cannot withstand and is falling apart while Detroit lacks water. Students cannot pay for their education, people cannot find jobs while corporate mongrels lobby our congress to pass bills that take away even more taxes from our country for outsourcing, and our people go hungry. War? Really?

"U.S. Militarism Brings Chaos": As Obama Plans a War on ISIS, a Call for...
Susan Robens Photography
As we train foreigners and provide weapons for war, we are creating more chaos into the Middle East Region and spending more of our tax money on the Syrian incursion. I feel that this is likened to our war into Iraq. Think about it. Think about the preparation for the acceptance from American's to go yet into another war and destroy another country. Oh! So we can rebuild! Who benefits? Ask yourself that question.

My Letter to Chuck Todd
In response to Chuck Todd's statement that "It is not his job to point out Republican Lies" regarding Obama Care and the Republican stance.
I say really? Is not journalisms responsibility to report the facts and the truth as we investigate them, check them, double fact check and then report those truths to the public and allow THEM to make their own decisions?
Here is what happened: MSNBC host Chuck Todd said Wednesday that when it comes to misinformation about the new federal health care law, don't expect members of the media to correct the record.
During a segment on "Morning Joe," former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) speculated that most opponents of the Affordable Care Act have been fed erroneous information about the law. Todd said that Republicans "have successfully messaged against it" but he disagrees with those who argue that the media should educate the public on the law. According to Todd, that's President Barack Obama's job. "But more importantly, it would be stuff that Republicans have successfully messaged against it," Todd told Rendell. "They don't repeat the other stuff because they haven't even heard the Democratic message. What I always love is people say, 'Well, it's you folks' fault in the media.' No, it's the President of the United States' fault for not selling it." Chuck Todd is the chief White House Correspondent for NBC News who is viewed by millions of Americans. Yes, Chuck you do have a responsibility for the American public along with your six figure income.
Here is my letter to Chuck:
Dear Mr. Todd,
I have been a reporter for over ten years all over the world. I am a member of the NPPA and I adhere to sound ethical reporting, proudly. It is my responsibility to tell the story, the facts from all sides and to allow the readers to make decisions and judgements on their own. Without those facts, the public is being misled and that is not good journalism. It denies the public to take a stand on where they feel it is needed, it denies the public true democracy and it misrepresents realities that could very well affect the very lives of many people or a population.
Shame on you negating the ethics of journalism to the American public and all other journalist who work hard to investigate and report top and compelling news to the world. Shame on you for downgrading journalists responsibility for accountability to thousands of journalism students who look up to people like and and want to be in your shoes one day. Your statement that it is not your job to point out Republican lies about Obama Care is like saying that there are weapons of mass destruction without ever fact checking before you help to start a war.
Yes, it is your responsibility. You offer a service and your service is to the American public to report the facts and to point out untruths. Are you telling journalism students that it is okay to be lazy and unethical in your job? Are you teaching the future journalist that it is okay to take a majority stance on issues that may even cause millions of people to suffer and to bend under corporate pressure?
That is not true journalism and I am ashamed. You are not helping your colleagues to gain "trust" to gather stories and in the readership. These type of comments does not make my job any easier and I say thank you.
You have a greater responsibility than I do, to have integrity in your reporting because so many eyes are on you and on what you say and report. Society depends on reliable journalism to gather information regarding important issues. Even the facts on Obama Care where millions of people have the need to be informed. It is not a case of Republican or Democrat, it is a place of journalism...plain and simple.
Did you loose sight of this? I wonder and I am mad.
I am not in your position to tell the world what is and what is not although I would like to be and earn your six figure income.
Did you forget ethical journalism because you got caught up in the power?
I am ashamed and you are making journalism shameful.
Susan Brannon

Stop Monsanto Protection Act..Again; Call Congress ACTION
Last week the U.S. House of Representatives decided to introduce the same language for the Continuing Resolution spending bill (H.J.RES.59) that contained the Monsanto Protection Act that Congress passed last spring.
This past March, Monsanto succeeded in sneaking the controversial rider into a must pass spending bill, which is set to expire onSeptember 30th. But now, with the new continuing resolution, the Monsanto Protection Act would be extended for 3 additional months!
This past March, Monsanto succeeded in sneaking the controversial rider into a must pass spending bill, which is set to expire onSeptember 30th. But now, with the new continuing resolution, the Monsanto Protection Act would be extended for 3 additional months!
The Monsanto Protection Act undermines the basic concept of judicial review and forces the USDA to allow the planting of untested GMO crops even if a federal court ruled that the USDA had not properly considered the environmental or economic risks these new crops pose to family farmers.
If allowed to pass again, this new provision would undermine agency oversight and this dangerous provision could eventually become permanent, allowing Monsanto to succeed in stripping judges of their constitutional mandate to protect consumer rights and the environment, while opening up the floodgates for the planting of new untested GMO crops.
Is Congress Trying to Kill GMO Labeling?
Even worse, right now Congressman Fred Upton (R-MI) is working behind the scenes to introduce a bill that would kill state GMO labeling efforts by preempting it with a bill that would place GMO labeling under federal authority, circumventing successful citizen led efforts in Maine and Connecticut and trying to invalidate the ballot initiative in Washington state before it even passes.
We need your voice today more than ever to stop Monsanto’s shenanigans in Congress!

http://action.
Even now as we are close to winning, Monsanto, DuPont and the biotech seed and chemical giants are working desperately behind the scenes to thwart our efforts.
While the previous Continuing Resolution that was passed this March is set to expire onSeptember 30th, Roll Call reported this week that House Appropriations Chairman Harold Rogers, (R-KY) has introduced the short-term Continuing Resolution, with the exact same language as last time, which could be voted on as early as next week.
While members of the House are desperate to pitch this new continuing resolution as a “responsible” effort to pass a temporary budget to avoid a shutdown of the federal government, Monsanto and the biotech industry are using it as another opportunity to corrupt our basic democrat rights and protect their bottom line.
Last spring Food Democracy Now! members exposed the initial Monsanto Protection Act to the world when more than 300,000 of us stood up and demanded an end to the special interests handouts to Monsanto and the biotech seed and chemical giants.
Right now, we are once again calling on you and your friends and family to stand with us again to help expose this corruption of our basic democratic process once again!
Monsanto’s days are numbered and they know it! This year, you helped passed GMO labeling bills in Connecticut and Maine and right now we’re working hard with our allies to help win a citizen led ballot initiative in Washington state that would mandate labeling of genetically engineered foods.
Unfortunately, Monsanto, DuPont and the largest junk food companies in the world are determined to try to steal our basic democratic rights to protect their corrupt corporate profits. Just this week Monsanto dumped $4.5 million to defeat our efforts to win Yes on 522 and GMO labeling in Washington state while DuPont dropped $3.4 million.
Right now is the critical window where we need to stand together to stop Monsanto and these corrupt corporations from trying to betray our basic democratic rights once again.
Please stand with us to help stop Monsanto, DuPont and the biotech seed and chemical companies from corrupting our laws and democratic process.

My Letter to the Senators: Against Attacking Syria
Click on the link after the letter to send your own through The Nation Magazine. They made it simple, you can change it into your own words...their words were different than mine!
I agree that it is not acceptable to ignore such action by any political leader on their own people and such an action is plainly against international human rights justice.
I too have seen horrible injustice in times of conflict and war, being a war photojournalist in the Middle East for almost ten years. The evil than man is capable of is unbearable. I have walked in regions of utter poverty, hunger, and social inequalities where those is power are full of both greed and pride allowing others to suffer in extremes without blinking an eye.
However, it is my deepest hopes that the United States of America waits just a bit to gather global and national approval through the UN before we fly one plane, drone or take one step upon Syria's soil. After living and working in war torn area's and analyzing conflict worldwide, I am highly concerned that this action will greatly harm hundreds if not thousands of innocent people. It will put our country and American's on foreign soil at high risk for their own safety. If we do not wait the few weeks that it takes to gain allies at this time, we will not only increase our security concerns but gain many new enemies who were once allies.
Not only is our security at risk, but also our national debt. This may sound cruel, but in the name humanity should we not first spend the billions for our own people who are downtrodden and sleeping in cars, behind bushes and under bridges or those who work full time at an unsustainable living wage, or those who cannot get medical care when they are diagnosed with cancer? Are we not then like the other countries who spend their nations wealth making themselves and others more wealthy while their citizens die of hunger?
Are we not then becoming the global police who ignores international law and does as we please? It is time to show the world that we are not like that, we are patient to wait for the pieces to be put into place to have the ability to have the support of the rest of the world and the courts use just cause for the crimes that Assad has committed. We are just to adhere to international protocol before jumping into action. It is our chance to undo the damage that was done during and before the incursion in Iraq. It is our chance as a nation to shine and become the example that we presented during the Vietnam war and WWII.

Putin: Russia doesn't defend Assad, we defend international law
In mediation; we must listen to the other that is the first step. Consider their voice (thus the crossing borders project) throw down our personal and national pride and be patient to agree for a positive and peaceful result is a virtue. Guys this is serious. Do you want your tax money to increase the hatred of the rest of the world? Do you want to use our tax money to shed more blood upon our nation?
Think about it.
'Attack on Syria to change balance in whole region, not just one regime'
Like I said in my previous post, The U.S. attacking Syria is against International Humanitarian law if the other countries do not agree and at this time, they do not. France is "waiting" for the results on who committed the chemical warfare crime. We cannot move on our emotions for such a serious move.

New Jobs? 97 percent are Part Time
This is how it goes. New jobs are created and the public remains happy and live in a delusion. The thing that no one really thinks about is what "type" of jobs are created. Are they the union high paying manufacturing jobs? No. Are they lawyer jobs or accounting jobs or nursing and teaching jobs? The answer is plain no, no, (shaking the head) NO!
They are the run of the mill retail, restaurants, staffing agencies, and home health care type of jobs. Yep! Going to college does not pay off any longer. In my area, the HR departments are telling me that for every job they post there are around 450 applicants applying. The problem with the wonderful "new jobs" is that they are the low paying wage jobs and the part time jobs. You know, the ones that no one can really live on. The ones where the workers will need food stamps, medical assistance, housing subsidies, and other welfare services.
Of course the major companies would rather hire 40 part time workers than 20 full time workers and need to pay benefits when the government will pick up the bill instead! That makes the CEO's really happy. Please search for my previous articles and research on the great WalMart and their corporate model.
A recent study reveals that 97 percent of these "new jobs" in the past 6 months are part time, low wage jobs. That is not good news and that is not growth. It only makes our country poorer than it already is. (Please read a recent post on "Drastic Growth In Extreme Poverty in the U.S.") Currently there are 8.2 million workers who are part time. Not because they want to work part time, but because they cannot find full time work. US employers added 162,000 nonfarm jobs in July according to the government's Establishment Data Survey. "Over the last six months, of the net job creation, 97 percent of that is part-time work," said Keith Hall, a senior researcher at George Mason University's Mercatus Center quoted by McClatchy Washington Bureau. Hall was head of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics from 2008 to 2012.
61% of the jobs created this year are from the low paying industries. For those who cannot find full time sustainable work and are basically forced into part time work suffer higher depression, increased health problems due to the depression and lack of a balanced and healthy diet. Many of the workers must dip into their retirement plans, sell their homes or their cars just to survive.
These folks are out there and nothing has changed or gotten any better.
The only difference is that our wonderful media does not make a sound about the realities of the state of our country. Maybe it is because of the fear from all the arrests made on "whistleblowers" who dare to tell the truth. Maybe they will get fired from their journalism jobs is they inform the public like they should.
