Republicans and their ilk have consistently abused the 501(c)(4) IRS status and every single person in this country knows this to be fact.
These potential violations of the law have gone on for several years now, with very little interest from the Beltway media or Capitol Hill Republicans, many of whom owe their election to spending by bogus 501(c)(4) organizations.
The real scandal has been the blatant abuse of 501(c)(4) status by dozens of lobbyists and operatives who have set up such tax-exempt organizations as political slush funds to conceal money in political campaigns. Since the Citizens United decision, 501(c)(4) groups, have operated as Super PACs—raising and spending tens of millions in corporate funds—without disclosing a dime of their contributors. IRS rules state that the primary activity of such groups cannot relate to political advocacy, yet exam... more »

This talk pulls most everything that is wrong today together into one topic: Can civilisation survive really existing capitalism? His use of really existing is appropriate, because the so called capitalism we are suffering under is a sort of mutated zombie of more democratic forms of capitalism like worker self directed companies and cooperatives.
The talk covers the oligarchic nature of the core of the US economy, Saint Alan Greenspan and how his grand plan crashed our economy, the really existing capitalist democracy or RECD (pronounced wrecked :) and how it does away with the democracy we thought we had. His conclusion is that it is unlikely civilization can survive the really existing capitalism and the sharply attenuated democracy that goes along with it. The reasons for not surviving begin with basic environmental issues and get worse from there.
There is lots more, but I will... more »

In den Höhlen der Sierra de San Carlos nahe Burgos im mexikanischen Bundesstaat Tamaulipas haben Archäologen insgesamt 4.926 Höhlenmalereien von mindestens drei bislang weitgehend unbekannten Kulturen entdeckt.
Die Bilder stellen Menschen, Tiere und Insekten, sowie den Sternenhimmel dar.

Matt Taibbi: Public Unions Need to Stop Poisonous Koch Brothers From Buying Tribune Papers
As you may have heard, the Koch brothers have set their sights on destroying what remains of the free press. They considering buying one of the biggest media groups in America – the Tribune papers, which comprise eight major publications, including the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune. This would allow the Kochs to spread their right-wing nuttery even more effectively than they do now.

This is one of two reports by our very own
+Jason Leopold, who is an investigative reporter that has covered Gitmo since it first opened. He was just there last week, and now they have banned reporters, so this may be the last legitimate update we get from independent sources from that gulag for a while.

A study released Wednesday said that North American frogs, toads and other amphibious animals are disappearing so quickly that they are on track to be extinct from their natural habitats by 2033. The study — which was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey — said that these types of animal populations are disappearing at a rate of 3.7 percent per year, although certain threatened species are expected to be extinct from their natural habitats within 6 years.

Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a nationwide "counter terrorism" apparatus emerged. And it has turned on dissenters like the Occupy movement.

Conservative Wall Street Journal proposed corporate tax rate of 0%
"the U.S. should lower its corporate tax rate to ideally zero, but 12.5% also works." I think someone needs to remind these propagandists that Trickle Down has failed miserably, and the effective corporate tax rate in the US has fallen immensely since 1950.

Paranoid conspiracies about "gun confiscation" by the NRA are a deliberate ploy to sell more weapons. It's an artificially created bubble, and stupid people have been falling for it for 5 years now.

Our closest relatives, chimpanzees and gorillas, breast-feed their offspring for several years. Some baby orangutans nurse until they are 7 years old. But modern humans wean much earlier. In preindustrial societies, babies stop nursing after about two years. Which raises the question: How did we get that way?

Virginia lt. gov. nominee: Not sorry for hate speech ‘because I’m a Christian’ [The Raw Story | http://godl.es/168MS1v] :: The Republican nominee for lieutenant governor in Virginia says that he is a Christian and has no reason to apologize for his history against of hate speech against LGBT people, liberals and abortion providers. It was only after African-American minister E.W. Jackson won the nomination at the Virginia Republican Party Convention last week that many became aware of his history of saying gay people were “perverted” and “sick people psychologically.” “Homosexuality is a horrible sin, it poisons culture, it destroys families, it destroys societies; it brings the judgment of God unlike very few things that we can think of,” he said last year. :: #atheism #lgbt

As global capital becomes ever more powerful, giant corporations are holding governments and citizens up for ransom — eliciting subsidies and tax breaks from countries concerned about their nation’s “competitiveness” — while sheltering their profits in the lowest-tax jurisdictions they can find. Major advanced countries — and their citizens — need a comprehensive tax agreement that won’t allow global corporations to get away with this.
