Thanks to the tyrannical and murderous foreign policy of the United States, and their perpetual funding and arming of extremist groups in the Middle East, a terrorist organization known as the Islamic State has burst on to the scene and shown to be a substantial threat.

On Wednesday, Reuters reported that the material had been stolen from a US-owned storage facility, in Basra, Iraq.

On February 17, the Oklahoma Senate Rules Committee unanimously passed SB 1108, which removes the names of candidates for presidential elector from the November ballot. The only other states that still print the names of presidential elector candidates on the ballot are Arizona, Idaho, North Dakota, and South Dakota. None of those states let voters vote for individual candidates for presidential elector, so the information isn’t very meaningful. The Oklahoma bill says the names of the candidates for presidential elector will be posted at the polling place. Thanks to E. Zachary Knight for this news.

On February 8, Shawn Wilmoth, who has been hired to collect signatures to place Rocky De La Fuente on the Democratic presidential primary ballots in many states, filed a federal lawsuit against the Connecticut law that bars out-of-state circulators for primary petitions.

Bellecourt, 79, an elder of the Anishinaabe tribe, took direct aim at Sanders and the other presidential candidates for ignoring the Native community and not speaking “a single word about Native people” in the fight for social justice.
According to a report by Indian Country Today Media Network:

As I told you in our last message… TODAY, I have to sign checks for $11,400. We needed $2,300 in order to cover those checks. Thankfully, we’ve raised $794. That helps, but obviously it’s not enough.

We reported lots of good news…
Bills introduced
New relationships on Capitol Hill
Publicity for our efforts
Growth
We have momentum right now. I’d prefer to build on that. Instead, I have to come and plead for help.

This is the part of my job I dislike second-most — asking for urgent funding (filling out government forms is worse). But if I don’t turn to you, then to whom can I …read more

I’m going to paint a picture for you here. You don’t have to agree, you may think I’m insane, but last time I laid out an idea like this, I was absolutely right (and I was still called insane). And I’ll tell you right up front that much of this is very, very hypothetical…
The original idea that I was called insane about was a couple of years ago on my science and tech podcast, Sovryn Tech, I had theorized that the various tech giants in Silicon Valley were all planning on creating their own internets. As in with their own …read more
