Poverty vs. War

Thanks to Jodda Mitchell of today's LUV News for the graphic and for this synopsis:

LUV News Saturday 7 September 2013

Here's today's LUV News (explanation of acronym here).
Addendum: I just noticed that the 10 photographs in the last article haven't shown up. Click link to original to see them. Worth a thousand words indeed:

JUST DO IT

If I had a dollar for every person who told me that unless Obama were re-elected the world would come to an end, I'd be rich. How's that working out for ya, folks? How's Mr. Nobel Peace Prize working out for ya? Record unemployment, record corporate profits, NSA snooping on an unparalleled scale, evisceration of the Bill of Rights, disregard of international law, increasingly militarized police, union suppression, more abortion restrictions nationwide, give-aways of public lands to corporations for fracking, rushing through of the TPP, continuing drone-bombing of civilians in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, ignoring of the lessons of the 2008 economic crash by allowing banks to continue their practices unregulated and by pushing for Larry Summers to head the Fed -- in other words, lies on top of lies on top of lies, and a complacent liberal establishment that's just fine with all of the above now that a Democrat is in the White House.

LUV News Sunday 21 July 2013

As I wrote here, I do LUV News on the weekends. Here was today's (Sunday's) newsletter (minus the story on Brandon Toy, which I had already done as a separate post here):

LUV News Sunday 7 July 2013

Every Saturday and Sunday I do the LUV Newsletters. LUV stands for Liberty Underground Virginia, and it's the brainchild of Jack Balkwill, a longtime progressive activist who lives in Virginia. He started LUV News years ago, sending out a daily compendium of news stories and opinion pieces that the mainstream media often ignores.
