The US is in a spasm of bizarre killings due to a boomerang effect of our assassination wars.  Proof of this is obvious to even denialists today:  Chris Kyle, Author Of 'American Sniper,' Shot And Killed At Gun Range is a classic story, it makes one almost believe there is some sort of Libra-type running the Afterlife.

The deranged father of an elementary school child in Newtown, Connecticut, went insane and killed up to 30 teachers, the principal, the school psychologist and many children.  This is not an unusual event for our country, this is NORMAL.  And the US blithely butchers children across the planet with our assassin drones while heavily armed assassins roam America unhindered by any rules, regulations, restrictions or laws except for our airports.

Tonight, history was made at the UN.  Virtually all of our NATO allies sustained from voting against the Palestinians.  All of our major Asian 'allies' did the same.  All other nations except a very tiny handful, all of whom are protectorates of the US military machine, voted for Palestine.  All of Africa, all of the Middle East, all of South and Central America voted for Palestinian recognition.

Ratio of power at Oakland City Hall?

I took the old photo of our city “leadership” and pasted in faces of current staff and soon-to-be sworn in councilmembers-elect. I don’t know who the two ladies are with “?” marks but assume one of them is the City Clerk.

What is the ratio of power at Oakland City Hall? Between city departments, city council, mayor and city administrator. (Ignoring for a moment our city attorney and auditor, and all the politically well connected non-profits, unions and developers, lobbying business interests – they are in power by proxy anyway.)

The power ratio is certainly not 1:1:1:1.

It’s probably more like 9:8:1:1. Continue reading

Shocking leaked video:what Israeli Zionists actually believe! - YouTubeThe US media editorialists are nearly totally and uniformly Zionist radicals who prevent any honest discussion of the Middle East's very explosive religious and ethnic warfare situations.  One major help given to imperialists in Israel and Japan is how our media actively hides what the far right wing in both countries say and do.

Very worrisome. My dear Jewish friends and acquaintances in Oakland should consider taking a peek at this analysis of what's going on in Israel, written by a Jewish woman in New York. Not that the world won't end in December anyway ;) but why not have a relaxing go of it...

Oakland City Council Approves Sale of Pension Obligation Bonds

Reblogged from OakTalk:

For the past two years one of the most nettlesome budget issues faced by Oakland has been its unfunded and underfunded benefit liabilities.  As recently reported by the City Administrator, Oakland presently faces an underfunded CalPERS liability (Oakland's current pension plan) in an undetermined amount, a completely unfunded health benefit liability for retirees of $520 million (sometime referred to as "Other Post-Employment Benefits," or "OPEB") and an unfunded $494 million liability for the PFRS retirement plan.
