You Have to Watch This Weird, Arty Clinton Campaign Attack Ad Against Trump
Posted in: UncategorizedSo… what do you make of this Hillary Clinton campaign attack ad? What do you see in it? How does it make you feel?
That probably depends, of course, on what you think of Donald Trump, and also whether or not you get the conceit of the ad, titled “Donald Trump’s Immigration Ink Blot” and released Wednesday afternoon on the campaign’s “The Briefing” channel on YouTube.
The animated Rorschach test — a common tool used by psychologists — and the plaintive, unsettling instrumental track in the video are obviously meant to allude to one of the subtexts of the presidential campaign advanced by Democrats (and more than a few Republicans): that Hillary is the sane candidate, and Donald is the, uh, not-sane one.

Putin's Party Accused of Calling Voters Illegally
Posted in: UncategorizedRussia’s President Vladimir Putin has been accused of ordering the poisoning of dissidents, the murder of journalists and the imprisonment and killing of political opponents. And now his United Russia party has been accused of — gasp! — bothering people with political campaign phone calls.
According to a Newsweek story referencing a report in Russian paper Kommersant, the party has been calling Moscow residents to persuade them to support United Russia in the legislative elections to be held in September, “since we can all agree that our President Vladimir Putin does everything to strengthen our government’s standing in the world and works for the good of the country.”
But, just like here in the U.S., people are not thrilled with getting calls from a political campaign. Some are complaining that the party obtained their phone numbers illegally. In fact, Golos, a think tank that monitors Russian elections, claims that the phone calls amount to a privacy breach of data intended for use only for administrative purposes.

Not all are sleeping
Posted in: Uncategorized
While standing on the bus on the way to work I see the vision of the streets, the men and women who get up everyday, get dressed and subsist in the capitalist machine.
They remain in twilight, disconnected, repeating the same job, the same clock in / clock out, the same daily wait for the end of the workday. Distraction, to a point, is an enemy. What will it take? I wonder. In Mexico, where I live, horrifying violence is linked to the corrupt, the faked natural order of the capitalist reigns. We live in a neo-liberal democracy that is now the norm. Journalists are tortured, they are raped, they are murdered. The police and the military are trained and armed by the US to encourage a disastrous war on drugs; a war known to those of us who are awake as a war on the poor, the disenfranchised minorities. These government agents, they shoot students who dare to stand against them. Our president is blatantly stupid and his deceit is visible from 100 miles away. He presides over the corpse of a system, designed to mask a fascist dictatorship that rules with an iron grip.
Scandal after scandal, the lifted veil, the voices of the damned, the mockery of elitism. As we head to work each day I stare at my fellow men and women and wonder, when will we rise? What further indignity and hypocrisy can we tolerate? What will disconnect us from the savage neo-liberal assault upon our freedom? What worth are our eyes but to see? Our ears to listen? Our voices with which to speak?
Those who rule, they do so by violence, oppression and constant threat.
Yet not all are sleeping. Not all of us complacent. Not all are afraid or tied down by those financial chains designed to constrain us. The ruling classes are running out of shells in which to hide and, much sooner than many of us realize, we will watch their system burn.
— Abraham D. Alexander
