News Dump Tuesday: Central Bank Failure Edition

Submitted by gendjinn on Tue, 03/15/2016 - 1:03pmThe civil war on the left in 2000 was between the DLC/NAFTA/Third Way and the economic progressives.
Bradley lost. There followed an election rife with "Lesser of Two Evils" and "ZOMG Supreme Court".
An election that shouldn't have been even close was lost by Gore/Lieberman & the DLC/Third Way crew.
Who are still here, with periodic rebranding, still screwing progressives for the 1%.
Hellraisers Journal: Review of John Spargo's "The Bitter Cry of the Children" from The New York Times
Submitted by JayRaye on Tue, 03/15/2016 - 12:55pmOh, room for the lamb in the meadow,
And room for the bird on the tree!
But here, in stern poverty's shadow,
No room, hapless baby I for thee.

From The New York Times: "The Children of the Poor," Part I
In its March 3rd edition, the Times published an in-depth review of the newly published book by John Spargo which documents the suffering of the millions of children who are born and reared in poverty within our great American prosperity. Today we present part one of that review, entitled "Children of the Poor." We will concluded with part two in tomorrow's edition of the Hellraisers Journal.

Brilliant new Bill Curry article at Salon today
Submitted by Gerrit on Tue, 03/15/2016 - 12:14pmBill curry has always been out front of the posse catching up to El Diablo Hillario in the dusty deserts of the post-industrial wastelands. He's not only smart as a whip, but he has seen the Clinton Machine in flagrante delicto up close. Do not form mental images inside your head...too late, eh? 
He's so close to El Diablo he can almost touch the tails of the rear-most horses. He provides a brilliant take on the view from there today. And takes a good swot at the overreach of the 538's of her MSM colluders. It even has a Jack Sparrow quote. Extract and link below.

First and foremost, a big day in the fight for right. Go Bernie. If you like please send out good vibes to the campaign and if possible help out where possible. In my case I will say a pray (maybe this is not right or good with you all, but this is what I feel) for what is best for us and our society.
Team Trump are Bringing the Violence
Submitted by stevej on Tue, 03/15/2016 - 9:29amThis provides an interesting insight. I had assumed that the Trump supporters arrived at Trump's rallies already filled with hate and looking for an outlet. Apparently that may not be the case:

Doing without crutches
Submitted by detroitmechworks on Tue, 03/15/2016 - 9:02amI don't judge folks who choose to make use of all the technological devices they are able to. I'd love to have a device that I carried everywhere that allowed me to hook up to the internet at whim, to play games at the drop of a hat, and find directions without having to ask a nearby pedestrian.
