Few former fbi agents whistle this tune

No more heinous & insidious cowards are hatched and nourished by the USA than the clandestine assassins of fbi/cia.

https://seekingalpha.com/instablog/436163-geral-sosbee/1929821-public-no...

On July 26, 1908, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was hatched and subsequently nourished by a fearful public, an increasingly corrupt and cowardly congress and a fbi crime spree unprecedented in human affairs.

Victims of a psychopathic society have no recourse

Victims of a psychopathic society have no recourse

sosbee site.jpg

For 20 years I have proven that the fbi, police, USPI and members of the general population commit atrocities against me in a manner that also characterizes this overthrown regime’s unlawful and inhumane assaults on others globally. As I try to bring forth evidence to support my reports in courts and in congress, the crimes against me just “go on & on & on” for 30 years.

Exploring Mayor Lovely Warren’s Time in Office

Submitted by Tianna Mañón, Nilan Lovelace, Michele Ashlee, Vanessa J. Cheeks, Photos by: Michele Ashlee on Thu, 2017-02-02 10:34

Rochester Indymedia and Open Mic are going to be cross posting and collaborating in the coming months on various stories. This is one of the first pieces to be cross posted. We're excited to be working with Open Mic! Check out the original article here: http://www.openmicroc.com/exploring-mayor-lovely-warrens-time-in-office/

Sharing the background of many of Rochester’s black residents, Mayor Lovely Warren’s grandparents migrated north seeking better economic opportunities. And like many of our grandparents, hers didn’t find it either, settling instead for labor.

Graduating from the Rochester City School District, she went on to college, law school, then became a lawyer before working in the community and later leading City Council as the youngest to ever do so.

And then that granddaughter of migrators, sharecroppers, laborers, became Rochester’s first black female mayor.

“If you look at the history of our city we’ve had periods of challenges. And we didn’t look at those and cower down.” -Warren

Mayor Lovely Warren took office in January 2014. However, it hasn’t been an easy three years. In fact, the first year of her term saw a number of scathing reports and criticism from the community. She created security positions in her office, claiming she was being threatened, and then gave them to family members. She was constantly criticized for her handling of the press and many were worried that she wasn’t as good of a pick for Rochester as they’d first hoped.

Going into 2017, Warren hasn’t announced yet if she’ll campaign for re-election. Already James Sheppard, County Legislator for the 23rd District, has announced his campaign for her seat and Rachel Barnhart who recently lost a bid for the State Assembly against Rep. Harry Bronson is toying with a mayoral run as well. Both have charged that Warren has made no change, prompting OM to look at Warren’s time in office.

We looked at four pillars as we examined her “legacy:” development, social justice, violence and crime, and putting Rochester on the map.

Favorite Bookish Thing 2016: Lines by Hesiod

Submitted by d. eric parkison on Wed, 2016-12-28 21:06

This essay was first published in SHARKPACK Poetry Review! This piece is republished with permission. See the original here: https://sharkpackpoetry.com/2016/12/26/favorite-bookish-thing-2016-lines-by-hesiod/

 

In a state of near-misery, I return to reading I did this summer: Dorothea Schmidt Wender’s ’73 translation of Hesiod and Theognis, included in the Penguin Classics series. Hesiod is most exciting, for me, in Works and Days, and especially in the verses concerning the ages of man. A famous passage (lines 170-201) concerns our own age, that of iron. Hesiod cries out:

I wish I were not of this race, that I
Had died before, or had not yet been born.
This is the race of iron. Now, by day,
Men work and grieve unceasingly; by night
They waste away and die.

From inside Attica: Interview with Jalil Muntaqim

Submitted by PSL member Mitchell Jones on Sun, 2016-01-03 22:00

This interview was originally published by the Party for Socialism and Liberation at: http://www.liberationnews.org/from-inside-attica-interview-with-jalil-muntaqim/

Apartheid Attica.

Solitary confinement, brutality

and beat downs—prisoners

toe the line doing the time

for being Black in America,

the legacy of slavery, Black

Codes and Jim Crow.

Do Black Lives Matter?

Excerpt from Jalil Muntaqim’s poem “Apartheid Attica”

Submitted by gsosbee on Wed, 2015-10-28 11:57

As I have shown for the past fifteen years, the United States government is run by homicidal sociopaths who are put in office by the ruling (rich) class and their followers.
