“The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.”

                Today’s fast-paced internet world is often referred to in the context of “Big-Brother” and that he will use these ends to inevitably institute “The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism.”[i]   Indeed, it’s easy to wonder with remote surveillance software and devices being offered to the average citizen what Uncle Sam has up his sleeve and why he has no problem allowing these devices and technologies to propagate throughout the…

Have You tired of the empty promises of politicians? Have You seen the “divide and conquer” successes in everything from school teams to country identities? Do You want the planet to coexist? 

Perhaps You might consider the Ethical Planetarian Party. 

What is the Ethical Planetarian Party? What are its goals and platform?

First, We…

No money? No problem! Pay with time instead. Pay with "time dollars" on everything. In a modern twist on the ancient practice of barter, people are joining time banks to help them get the things they need or want without having to spend cash. In a time bank members get credit for services they provide to other members, from cooking to housekeeping to car rides to home repair. For each hour of work, one time dollar is deposited into a member's account, good for services offered…

The craziness just keeps on coming from the “venerable” US Supreme Court. The sick individuals that make up the corrupt court never fail to amaze in their nefarious dealings. For example:

At Wesleyan University in early 2012, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia gave a speech. At the end of the speech, Scalia took questions from the audience. One person asked about the Bush-Gore case, where the Supreme Court had to determine the winner of the election.

“Get over it,” Scalia…

A psychological phenomenon that researchers have been studying for some time now continues to indicate conservatives are motivated by fear in a way that liberals are not. An expanding body of research suggests that Republicans and Democrats differ on some fundamental level in how they respond to positive and negative stimuli. Another new study, published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, adds even more evidence to the theory that these two groups literally see…

1) No government agency can overrule the decisions made by the Federal Reserve.

2) Along with US government appointed board of governors, the Federal Reserve consists of 12 private corporations called Federal Reserve Banks.

3) Federal Reserve shareholder names are a highly safeguarded secret. In fact, they are protected by law because the shares can’t be sold or traded. No one is allowed to know who they are and no one can find out. This includes the…

Hello

It's a good time to look back at what the Occupy America Social Network (OASN) has done, so far, and think about where we should be going from here.  It is hard to believe that OASN and Occupy Wall Street (OWS) began only four months ago. 

In that short time,…

Police officials have released few details about the Nov. 3 incident in which Scott Campbell, 30, was hit in the leg with a nonlethal beanbag. The Oakland resident uploaded his…
