The Drug War Has to End: David Simon on "The Wire" & Over-Policing of the Poor




Democracynow.org - In his acclaimed TV show "The Wire," David Simon captured the city of Baltimore from the angles of street-level drug dealers, beat police officers and journalists covering corrupt politicians. Earlier this year, President Obama described "The Wire" as "one of the greatest, not just television shows, but pieces of art, in the last couple of decades.” Simon said he aimed to portray how "raw, unencumbered capitalism" devalues human beings. Nearly a decade ago in Slate, Jacob Weisberg wrote: "No other program has ever done anything remotely like what this one does, namely to portray the social, political, and economic life of an American city with the scope, observational precision, and moral vision of great literature."

Jim Grant: The Fed Turned the Stock Market Into a 'Hall of Mirrors'

“Confoundingly to me, people have come to be quite accepting of the value attached by fiat to these pieces of paper we call currency,” says Jim Grant, who’s the editor of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer and the author of The Forgotten Depression: The Crash That Cured Itself.

“Are prices meant to be imposed from on high, or discovered by individuals acting spontaneously in markets? The readers and viewers of Reason known the answer to that but they’re regrettably in the minority."

Grant sat down with Reason magazine editor-in-chief Matt Welch on Tuesday to discuss the underlying causes of the recent market turbulence, why we don’t really “have interest rates anymore,” and how the classic jazz song “It’s Only a Paper Moon” provides a fitting metaphor for the equities market.

Jim Marrs -- The Danger Of Telling The Truth

 Clip from June 27, 2013 - guest Jim Marrs on the Jeff Rense Program.




Jim Marrs (born December 5, 1943) is an American former newspaper journalist and New York Times best-selling author of books and articles on a wide range of alleged cover ups and conspiracies. Marrs is a prominent figure in the JFK conspiracy press and his book Crossfire was a source for Oliver Stone's film JFK. He has written books asserting the existence of government conspiracies regarding aliens, 9/11, telepathy, and secret societies. He was once a news reporter in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex and has taught a class on the assassination of John F. Kennedy at University of Texas at Arlington for 30 years.

Beginning in 1992, Marrs spent three years researching and completing a non-fiction book on a top-secret government program called the Stargate Project involving the psychic phenomenon known as remote viewing, only to have the program canceled as it was going to press in the summer of 1995.

In May 1997, Marrs' investigation of UFOs, Alien Agenda, was published by HarperCollins Publishers. Publishers Weekly described Alien Agenda as "the most entertaining and complete overview of flying saucers and their crew in years." The paperback edition was released in mid-1998. It has been translated into several foreign languages and become the top-selling UFO book in the world.

In early 2000, HarperCollins published Rule by Secrecy, which claimed to trace a hidden history connecting modern secret societies to ancient and medieval times. This book also reached the New York Times Best Seller list. In 2003, his book The War on Freedom probed the alleged conspiracies of the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath. It was released in 2006 under the title The Terror Conspiracy.

Marrs has been a featured speaker at a number of national conferences including the annual International UFO Congress and the annual Gulf Breeze UFO Conference, but he also speaks at local conferences, such as Conspiracy Con and The Bay Area UFO Expo. Beginning in 2000, he began teaching a course on UFOs at the University of Texas at Arlington. Marrs usually also gives a book signing at Brave New Books in Austin, Texas at least once a year.

Rabbi Delivers Dire Warning For All Americans - “America Crossed The Line”

 According to Messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn, America could face hard times in the next year if the nation doesn’t change course and repent.

Cahn: "I believe a great shaking is coming to America and the world… We have watched the apostasy of America continue, it has, it has continued and is accelerating."

This can be seen most recently in the Supreme Court’s decision to redefine marriage.

Cahn: "America crossed the line. When the Supreme Court struck down the biblical definition of marriage, this was a tectonic event, a seismic change, with ramifications not just about marriage but about the future of the culture, of society, of religious freedom, of persecution, and I believe, judgment."

Cahn emphasizes that this is no time to be lukewarm. The grey middle is vanishing, and all that’s left is the light and the dark. We must choose a side.

Cahn: "And those who try to stay in the middle, and those who try to dance in the middle will find it harder and harder - you cannot dwell there. The time for grey is disappearing. If the darkness is removing the grey to become utterly dark, then it’s time for the light to remove the grey in our lives, in your life, in my life to become totally light."

Cahn’s final calls are for us to not be deterred, but to endure the persecution and continue to follow the Lord.

Cahn: "The fact is America is in danger. America is progressing on a dangerous course here away from God. And we are in critical times. We are at a crossroads in every way. For the society, the culture, the civilization, the church, to be praying for this time. And that we will declare and we’ll make up our minds. We will not bow down to Baal, we will not compromise, we will not give in to political correctness. No matter what, we will not turn away from God, no matter what any power on earth says. We will follow the Lord, and His ways only."

Coast To Coast AM - August 24, 2015 Tales of the Bizarre

In the first half, science writer Steve Silberman discussed the history of autism, and his work challenging some of the presumptions about the condition. Today, estimates are that 1 in 68 American kids have some form of autism, which suggests that we're in the midst of a kind of epidemic. But Silberman points out that the diagnosis may have been under-reported or narrowly defined in previous decades, and wasn't as rare as psychiatrists thought at the time. In the 1970s, parents were actually blamed for the problem, and were advised to permanently place their children in institutions and psychiatric facilities, he recounted.

No two autistic people are alike but they often share certain traits such as being extremely interested in very specific topics or activities, lack of eye contact, chronic anxiety, and clapping their hands as a way to regulate their energy, he detailed. Silberman revealed that Dr. Hans Asperger was the first to describe the autism spectrum, a decade before child psychiatrist Leo Kanner, who is sometimes credited with creating the diagnosis in the 1940s. Silberman is not convinced that vaccines play a role in the rise of autism, and suggested that the cause may be an interplay of genetics and environmental factors in the womb-- such as an overabundance of the hormone testosterone. He also noted that a contributing factor in autism might be that older fathers carry more mutations in their sperm, and parents are now having kids later in life.

One of America's leading connoisseurs of the bizarre, Marc Hartzman, was heavily influenced at an early age by Ripley's Believe It Or Not and the annual Guinness World Record books. In addition to discussing weird things on eBay, and sideshow performers, Hartzman covered his latest work researching the extremely strange history of Oliver Cromwell's embalmed head, which for centuries enjoyed a series of unexpected adventures. Cromwell, who instigated the beheading of King Charles in 1649, died of natural causes in 1658, but was exhumed by King Charles II three years later, and beheaded posthumously. In his book (view musical trailer), Hartzman writes from the point of view of Cromwell's disembodied head, imagining various meetings with real historical figures such as the Elephant Man, Joseph Merrick, before he was finally buried in 1960 at Cambridge.

Citing some of the most remarkable sideshow performers, Hartzman named Laloo, who had an unborn parasitic twin jutting out from his chest area. One of the promoters dressed the twin as a girl, to present the two as a brother and sister. Another favorite, Johnny Eck, a living half-man with no legs, had a normal twin brother, and the two were used to great effect in a magician's saw-a-person-in-half trick. Hartzman shared that one of the strangest and funniest things he discovered for sale on Ebay was a paperweight made out of moose poop.
