#OWS Applauds as Massachussetts Attorney General Stands Up To Banks #OccupyWallStreet has another accomplishment to celebrate this week, the lawsuit leveled at five major mortgage banks in Massachussetts. This is another action taken in leiu of Obama's DOJ or SEC doing it's job of putting Wall Street criminals in jail and yet another action taken on the state level to prevent Obama from selling immunity to Wall Street as he has been doing for years.

Selective Tyranny: Why "Terrorized" Gun-Owners Applaud Obama's Worst Constitutional Abuses The gun debate in the US has reached fever pitch following the Newtown massacre, but daily gun violence was normalized long ago, inextricably linked with gun access. Gun-toting patriots claim to be a check on government abuse, looking narrowly at their Second Amendment rights while the ignoring indefinite imprisonment - or death by executive order.

Report: Americans Hogging World Resources The unsustainable overconsumption of the West is the key to upcoming environmental, economic and political strife - and it's largely unnecessary. The problem in the U.S. is that we are bred from birth to consume, because unlike many in the rest of the developed world, we buy things to fulfill childlike illusions about ourselves, not out of practical need.

Cheney: Vice President Exempt From Presidential Records Act Dog Ate My Homework, Part 11: Vice president Cheney took an ugly loss in court this weekend, attempting to wriggle out of official record-keeping requirements on the grounds his office is not part of the Executive Branch (this is not satire).

Hannity Audio: The 47% Will Still Vote For Romney and "Everything Else He Says Is Correct" On the same day Mother Jones released the full 50 minutes of footage from Mitt Romney's private fundraiser, Sean Hannity was leading talk radio in agreeing the "47%" who pay no federal income tax were deadbeat Obama voters "unable to take responsibility for themselves", unwilling to correct this erroneous percentage nearing half our nation, or the sentiment behind it. Hannity was rendered but a cuckold weeks later when Romney

Jewish-American PAC Boasts of Instigating War With Iran Though AIPAC gets most of the credit, see how another pro-Israeli PAC boasted of their influence over your US Senators and Representatives, resulting in H.Con.Res.362, a bill calling for military action against Iran via naval blockade.

Lieberman At Hagee Conference: U.S. Should Attack Iran because God Hates Israel's Enemies On Tuesday Joe Lieberman went ahead with his speech for Rev. Hagee despite protest by 42,000 outraged Americans. Pandering to Christian fundamentalist end-timers who predict the annihilation of the Jewish people is part of God's plan, Lieberman stretched wildly the case for action against Iran, yet still hasn't offered evidence of any credible threat to U.S. interests.

"Ignore the Poor" Guy Won't Retract #OWS Fabrication Caught lying! Wisconsin candidate for US Senate makes headlines after he shows disdain for the poor and unemployed. But a campaign ad aired in Wisconsin making an outlandish claim about #OWS turned into an embarrassing exchange when the candidate admitted his research was baseless...

MEET HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN CHAIR: "Moneyman" John Podesta and his Revolving Door Hillary vowed recently to end the revolving door, but her campaign chairman John Podesta and his think tank Center for American Progress is a prime example. But Podesta also is one of DC's biggest PAC bundlers, and his family is being enriched by major lobbying contracts with the biggest national and international mega-corporations including fossil fuel producers and including a Panama Papers-related bank from Russia.

Will AOL Join Huffington's Call to Prosecute Bush Crimes? Dare we think think it? AOL could be putting editorial control of everything it publishes in the hands of someone who thinks Bush should be prosecuted for Constitutional violations? How does that play in the AOL boardroom? Does Arianna stomp in and say "don't f___ with me boys", or is this the beginning of a journalist versus bean counter battle royale designed to squelch progressive passion?

How Media and Advertising Breed Americans to Be Eternally Childlike Consumers Americans still can't even recognize what the last 100 years of media manipulation has wrought - a gullible nation, marching towards our own destruction. Bernaysian manipulation and the Bush presidency has brought to light how each family needs to re-evaluate how we educate our children because we are, at present, a nation of suckers being bled dry by industries who sell us empty fantasies.

Hannity Takes Pay to Astroturf For Hydrofrackers What would you do if you wanted to expand hydrofracking in New York state, but the public was protesting because of the risks to the environment? You call Sean Hannity, the #1 public opinion masseuse. That's what happened this week as the media noticed Hannity's ire for Cuomo's fracking delayy, but this began just days before Hannity started promoting a new pro-fracking film in a paid ad campaign. Coincidence?

Free Speech vs. Public Interest: FCC Complaint Against WI Talk Radio Looms Large for Hannity and Limbaugh The equal time provision called the "Zapple Doctrine" is getting a fresh look after monitors in WI discovered imbalanced broadcasting at two Milwaukee stations during the Scott Walker recall election period. With air time going 120 to 1 in favor of Walker, critics believe the stations do not qualify for the "news interview" loophole that allows on-air support for one candidate without allowing relevant rebuttal time.

"Corrupt" Wal-Mart Seeks 159 Stores in NYC Instead of Walmart's Mexican cover-up scandal, consider their operating plan at it's most basic, relying on extremely aggressive growth to grab a 1/5 market share wherever it casts its shadow. Walmart has been drooling over NYC for two years, but one estimate warns a net 4,000 jobs would be lost if they met their typical targets, suppressing wages while making welfare spike. Is this the future of New York City?

Hannity's 'Teflonics': No Responsibility, Blame Others for Economic Collapse and War "Hoax" With Hannity serving as the key media mouthpiece for the Bush administration during the tanking of the US economy and the Iraq War debacle, we see how slick and reptilian he can be in avoiding accountability. But voters in the 2010 midterm elections need to know - why would we would want to return to those same policies today and why Hannity cannot debate his critics transparently?

Taking a Proper Gander at Sean Hannity The second in the "Worst of America" series, we analyze Hannity's campaign to manipulate public perception of Obama, deconstructing Hannity's exploitation of a fanatical black preacher to paint himself as heroic. Looking through his tricks and imbalance, we ask if Hannity's actions actually run counter to the core precepts of Conservatism.
