Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) is denying reports of his possible involvement in the planning of the Jan. 6 rally, but said in an interview published on Monday that he would "proud" if a member of his staff had helped plan the event that that preceded the deadly attack on the Capitol. “I had no intentions of going to that rally until Jan. 5, when the White House asked me to speak,” Brooks told AL.com in a phone interview, explaining his appearance at the rally. During the interview, the Alabama congressman denied a report in Rolling Stone over the weekend that...

ATTN all those in the Free State of FL… ‘they’ will be coming HARD for DeSantis in 2022. He has shown that staying open is safe to do, that COVID can be managed while NOT nuking the economy and we need to band together to make sure he stays put. We KNOW that the incoming illegitimate president WILL be enacting federal mandates to destroy the economy, isolate us and revoke our civil liberties. We need to get prepared, we need to join together because we do more as a group than individually. Same goes for Matt Gaetz, who has been...

Some 25 colleges and universities – many of them public – have answered a call by professors at UCLA to use their regular class time to “teach, organize, and resist” what they view as the discriminatory political agenda of President-elect Donald Trump. Slated for Wednesday, January 18, the teach-in, dubbed #J18, is taking place between the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and Trump’s inauguration. The event’s planners say: Let it be known that on #J18 and beyond, universities, colleges, and high schools refused to bear silent witness to the politics of hate and fear; that in these times, these places...

The U.S. Military will bring over a thousand troops as well as aircraft and heavy vehicles to Texas and six other southwestern states for Operation Jade Helm--an unprecedented special operations training exercise. A civilian group has organized to monitor the training, including companies in Texas that plan to post up at each drill site in the Lone Star State.

The White House is pulling a tactic out of its campaign playbook – and President Obama’s own community organizing past – using the organs of government to enlist average Americans to help Obama advocate for his priorities. In an email sent to people who signed up to receive official updates from the White House, recipients are told to forward the message to their friends, asking them to help promote what is in effect White House propaganda. The White House email list, which government officials began compiling earlier in Obama’s term, is separate from the famed Obama campaign email list, but...

Conservatives organize to defeat RomneyBy Alicia M. Cohn - 11/10/11 05:15 AM ET A coalition of conservatives is working to organize the disparate groups opposing Mitt Romney as the Republican presidential nominee. While much has been made of Romney’s lack of support amongst conservative Republicans, the sense of malaise has mostly manifested as a lack of enthusiasm rather than outright opposition. That may all be about to change. The new coalition is seeking to push back against the narrative that Romney is the “inevitable nominee," according to spokesman and activist Ali Akbar. The group's website NotMittRomney.com launched this week. Akbar...

<p>JUNEAU, Alaska — A website has gone up that is dedicated to rallying voters behind candidates Sarah Palin has endorsed.</p> <p>The site, http://www.organize4palin.com, includes a disclaimer saying it's not authorized or affiliated with Palin or with her PAC and is not a Palin fan site. But it bills itself as the site many Palin supporters have been waiting for — a place where they can rally behind Palin's leadership and support her favored candidates.</p>

A Resource for Every Organizer & Anyone Contemplating Action in Their Community NEA recommends the following Saul Alinsky books to those members of our Association who are involved in grassroots organizing, especially Association Representatives (ARs) — also known as building reps or shop stewards — and leaders at local affiliates. Saul Alinsky is widely recognized as the father of, and pre-imminent expert in, grassroots organizing, which is why we recommend that ARs and local leaders become familiar with his theories & materials. Alinsky’s writings have been called the “mother’s milk of the left,” however in an ironic homage, the conservative...

Anyone who has ever tried to sue a school, change a PTA, join a school board, or in any way to manipulate what a public school was doing, please share your experiences and suggestions. To start the discussion, here are a few options: YAHOO GROUPS: anybody can form a group on Yahoo. I know of a group in Jersey City where parents share notes about teachers, courses, and candidates. This is an easy way to mobilize 100 or 200 people so they’re all on the same page when they deal with the school. PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION: Martin Gross, in his book...

From the cheap seats, it sure does look like the President of the United States is using the powers of the Executive to coordinate with Andy Stern to organize a series of protests entitled “Showdown In America.” Earlier, we posted about the links between Andy Stern’s SEIU and a group called National People’s Action (NPA). NPA, together with SEIU and the AFL-CIO, is organizing a series of angry marches against Wall Street and capitalism. NPA is a very dangerous and radical group that isn’t shy about its radical philosophy. From their song book: Who’s on your hit list NPA? Who’s...

Conservative flash mobs (how do we get them going?). http://www.asuwebdevil.com/node/5751 Flash mobs are currently used in the United States as a sort of public art. The participants are usually students. They plan a time, location, and activity. All are notified of where, when, and what, and then show up and perform. Once done, all participants leave (quietly). Flash mobs have been used in some countries where political organization is banned. Perhaps all will show up in a public place and eat an ice-cream, while walking around in the area. This doesn't sound like much, but when you have 300 people...

This vanity topic is nothing more than an encouragement for chief organizers of the coming Tea Party Protest to reconsider their use of networking sites like Facebook and Myspace for their city wide organizing efforts. As I understand they are a great tool for networking, if you are a chief organizer for your city, only using Facebook to bring people together, you will find that your efforts will be limited. Many people who want to correspond with others joining the protest will not be inclined to be required to sign up for sites like Facebook to interact. The chief organizer...

Page 103, Chapter "Peter Keating". Ellsworth Toohey is speaking to a crowd of striking workers while Peter Keating and Toohey's niece, Catherine, are listening to the loudspeaker outside the hall: It was not a voice, it was a miracle. It unrolled as a velvet banner. It spoke English words, but the resonant clarity of each syllable made it sound like a new language spoken for the first time. It was the voice of a giant. Keating stood, his mouth open. He did not hear what the voice was saying. He heard the beauty of the sounds without meaning. He felt...

The RNC Welcoming Committee doesn't really want to welcome the Republican National Convention to the Twin Cities. And they're organizing this weekend - a year before the Republican heavyweights arrive - to make their un-welcome heard. A few hundred "anarchists and anti-authoritarians" will gather for a pre-convention convention this Saturday and Sunday, to give shape and strategy to their 2008 RNC convention plans, according to a woman who identified herself as Bea Bridges. Bridges read a statement at a news conference this morning about this weekend's gathering but did not take any questions from invited reporters. In her statement, she...

I was listening to the Sean Hannity show today and he said that Hillary Clinton, in an effort to show us her "softer" side, said she likes to "organize her closet". This raises some interesting questions.Question 1: Would this be the same closet where she found those Whitewater billing records? And if so, how good could she possibly be at this "organizing" thing?Question 2: Don't you have to have a special permit or something to handle so many skeletons?Question 3: How long before Bill ends up in there?

WASHINGTON, April 16, 2006 – A good book read in August led two McLean, Va., sisters to start a program designed to thank the nation's servicemembers. "We were inspired by Michael Stadther's book 'A Treasure Trove' last summer, along with the movie 'National Treasure,'" Rachel and Kelsi Okun told American Forces Press Service via e-mail. The book contained clues to real tokens hidden around the United States. Once found, those tokens could be turned in for a real jewel. Rachel 10, and Kelsi, 8, decided they could do something similar, albeit with a different focus. From that decision has sprung...

Here is a short piece I wrote last night and revised a bit today. I had posted it on a Swedish newsgroup last night, and a Swedish church magazine wrote today to ask if they might reprint it (which is why I polished it a bit). It is based mainly on reports in the Danish press, some of which have been picked up and confirmed by, at least, FoxNews. I imagine the rest of the formerly mainstream media will ignore this. Chris Barnekov- - - - - - A Carefully Orchestrated Outrage It is now very reliably reported that the...
