sex assaults in US military Sat May 2, 2015 Sexual assault continues to plague the US military,
with more than 20,000 incidents reported in 2014, a study has found.
[LOS
SOLDADITOS de PLOMO, como son de plomo, no
tienen vida. Pero como vivimos en tiempos de esta plaga que llámanos guerra, a los
soldaditos de plomo les dimos vida. Tienen familia, tienen hijos e hijas,
algunos tienen nietos, pero de estas familias no se habla. Solo se dice que de los soldaditos de plomo depende la vida
de toda la nación y del resto de las familias que vivimos en ella. Cada que
hablan de los peligros que acechan a la nación, los escuchamos con mucha atención.
Y como se asume que eso es verdad, que de
la vida que les dimos depende ahora nuestras vidas, pues respetamos su voz cuando informan sus altos mandos sobre el cómo están asegurando
a nuestra nación. Por lo general dicen que hay que armarnos mejor contra
enemigos que no vemos pero que existen fuera del paÃs, enemigos que nos quieren
asesinar y arrebatar nuestras riquezas. Y las familias de nuestra nación se preguntan de que riquezas que no tenemos hablan ellos? .. aquà solo el 1% acumula las riquezas del paÃs.
Sera acaso que estos soldaditos de plomo hablan de defender nuestra nación de
enemigos externos que quieren asaltar a nuestros ricos (al 1%). NO, no lo
permitiremos. Las riquezas atesoradas por el 1% pertenecen a toda nuestra nación y pediremos a nuestros soldaditos que nos ayuden a confiscarla para que
sirva al 99% de nuestro pais y no a enemigos externos. Sera posible que nos
ayuden?. Creo que si, hay que convencerlos de que tienen familia, hijos, nietos
que merecen mejor vida que vivir en una barraca pensando dia y noche en los enemigos
externos fuera del paÃs. Quizá hay malos
soldaditos de plomo que no son como los buenos que aparecen en la imagen de
esta noticia (la mayorÃa con mas de 50 años de edad). No es posible creer que
estos hayan cometido los delitos que se asume en esta noticia. MÃrenles la cara
y se convencerán –por la cara de angelitos que tienen- de que estos soldaditos
de plomo jamás cometieron esos delitos. Tienen
cara de enojados .. al parecer fueron vÃctimas de ese delito. Pues hay que
usarlos para que castiguen a los malos.. porque si no lo hacen .. habrÃa que
pensar que todos son malos. ]

US
justice system needs reform: WH. Sat May 2, 2015 The White House says the US
justice system needs to be reformed to ensure equality for all communities.
[ Si yo

sistema de justicia .. pero y quien lo harÃa?.. y a quienes habrÃa que
cambiar?.. hay tantos fundamentalistas neoliberales que se van a oponer a este

Brutal
Honesty: This Is The Video About Racism They Don't Want You To See. Submitted
by Tyler Durden
on 05/01/2015. Racism, it seems, is not only alive and well, but worse than
it has ever been. Or is it? Could it be that most
Americans, regardless of the color of their skin, are perfectly fine having
people of other races as their friends, neighbors and colleagues, and that
certain people in positions of power are using their influence to manipulate
the masses?

Are
We Being Psychologically Conditioned To Accept Martial Law In America?.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/01/2015. Have you noticed
that we are starting to be bombarded with images of troops in the
streets? Have you noticed that the term “martial law” is coming up a
lot in movies, news broadcasts and even in television commercials? In
recent years, it seems like the solution to almost every major crisis involves
bringing in troops. In fact, it has already gotten to the point where
when something really bad happens a lot of Americans immediately cry out for
troops to be brought in. And we are seeing the same patterns over and
over again.

Freedom
Of Opportunity, Not Equality Of Opportunity. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/01/2015. The goal of equality of opportunity is both absurd
and vicious. Achieving it would require that children all be raised in the
same environment and have the same genetic inheritance. In contrast, what we
should actually strive for is the freedom of opportunity. Freedom of
opportunity means the ability to exploit the opportunities afforded
by reality, without being stopped by the initiation of physical force, in
particular the initiation of physical force by the government or that takes
place with the sanction of the government.

Mosby states that charges have been filed against 6 Baltimore PD police
officers, arrest warrants have been issued for the charged cops, and that

We
Just Broke 2008's Record For The Fastest Economic Unraveling!. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 05/01/2015. The final Q1 GDP
revision was just released and we saw that GDP has again missed expectations by
such a large margin that 2015 is another write off for a 3% growth year.
Almost comically we heard the same excuses we got last year. “Weather was
wintery and next year is going to be the turnaround year”. So in
order to explain to these supposed economic and market ‘experts’ who seem wholly
incapable of understanding economic and market forces with any sense of
accuracy, let’s run through a few fundamentals.

"$12
By '20": Democrats Seek 70% Increase In Minimum Wage. Submitted by
Tyler
Durden on 05/01/2015. Democrats are moving on a “$12 by ‘20” pitch,
whereby they hope to have the minimum wage hiked to $12 within the next five years. The rationale is simple: restore
the purchasing power Americans once had and you will restore robust economic
growth. Ok, maybe it's not that simple, because as Republicans note, raising
the pay floor by nearly 70% may well cost America jobs, thus making things
worse for the very people the wage hike was meant to help.

What's
Really Burning In Baltimore - 50 Years Of Liberal Welfare State Policies.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/01/2015. It is the police
department created and controlled for decades by Democratic progressive
politicians that has committed the atrocities against the people who have been
electing these progressives year after year. Baltimore has a corrupt,
reckless, out of control police department enabled by a crooked and incompetent
Baltimore politicians. It doesn’t take a village to raze, burn, and
loot a village. It just takes 50 years of liberal economic and social policies.

The Random
Walk Of Shame. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/01/2015. Investors are clearly in a bit of a no-man’s land
of market narrative, with the dollar weakening and U.S. corporate earnings
slipping. Market participants, like all pack animals, appreciate clear
direction and leadership – and we don’t have much of either right now. When
considering how they will react, we can compare the two competing frameworks
for understanding market behavior: the "Random Walk hypothesis"
and the "House money effect." The first states that markets move in
random patterns, with prior activity having no bearing on future price action.
The latter shows that individuals do actually consider prior gains and losses
when making economic decisions. Let’s just hope investors hold to their
belief that it’s the house’s money at work here, and that they don’t walk
randomly out of the market.

US
Manufacturing Weakest In 2 Years As Construction Spending Plunges; Mfg
Employment Lowest Since 2009. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 05/01/2015. April's Manufacturing PMI printed a minimally
disappointing 54.1 (against 54.2 prior and expectations) - its lowest since
January and hardly the post-weather Q2 surge everyone was hoping for.
New Orders and Production were the weakest since December and export
business fell for the first time in 5 months and input prices dropped for
the 4th month in a row; all leading Markit to demand The Fed remain patient.
ISM Manufacturing missed expectations and has not risen for 5 months (its
longest streak since the recession) with a contraction in the employment
index to lowest since Sept 2009. And then Construction Spending plunged
0.6% (against a +0.5% exp.) - the 7th miss in 10 months and worst April
print since 2009.

Earlier this week, Greek pensioners discovered that a "technical glitch" caused the delay of some €2 hundred million in pension payments. Apparently, Athens ran out of money.

China,
Russia Unveil First-Ever Mediterranean Joint Naval Exercise. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 05/01/2015. Sabre-rattling much?
For the first time in history, Chinese and Russian navies will begin a
significant joint naval exercise in The Mediterranean Sea in mid-May. As RT reports,
Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng, "The aim is to deepen
both countries' friendly and practical cooperation, and increase our navies'
ability to jointly deal with maritime security threats," but
diplomatically added "these exercises are not aimed at any third
party and have nothing to do with the regional situation." Against
a background of this week's "upgraded Japan-American military
relationship" following Abe's visit to Obama, as one analyst notes, "the
geopolitical significance of its exercising alongside Russia will not be lost
on the U.S. and NATO."

Baltimore officers charged in Freddie Gray's death
BALTIMORE (AP) - Saying "no one is above the law," Baltimore's top prosecutor announced charges Friday against six officers in the arrest of a black man whose neck was broken in police custody, a decision that comes amid outrage around the country over police brutality against African-Americans. State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby declared that Freddie Gray's death was a homicide, his arrest was illegal, and his treatment amounted to murder and manslaughter. She detailed what happened to Gray during his arrest and his nearly 45-minute ride in a police wagon, contradicting what police have said on some points and shedding far more light on what happened during his fatal journey. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/fronts/HOME?SITE=AP
