The Emperor With No Clothes looks to be buying himself another transparent suit today. Mitt Romney is expected to win the Florida GOP Primary tonight but we will be live blogging throughout the day so please feel free to join us!

President Obama delivers his State of the Union address tonight at 6:00 pm PST/9:00 pm EST. You’re invited to join us tonight for a special Live Chat during this address and the Republican response to it.

The fraud of the Norquist no-taxes pledge has been publicly exploded now and as long as Dems don’t overlook this opportunity, the entire raison d’etre for the Republican Party will be invalidated in the minds of most Americans.

    Oh,  for the fun of it, let’s  take another look.  Will tonight  be all Newt-Romney?          

Fewer and fewer of the folks who contributed to the success of our economy actually benefited from that success. Those at the very top grew wealthier from their incomes and their investments — wealthier than ever before. But everybody else struggled with costs that were growing and paychecks that weren’t — and too many families found themselves racking up more and more debt just to keep up.

We’ve heard plenty about what may have happened when Occupy Las Vegas moved Downtown yesterday. I wanted to share with you what I thought was the most poignant part, which was the part that did not receive all that much media attention. Take a look at the video above… And [...]

The 1% essentially owns many city governments in America. They have mayors and police forces as their army to defend their interests. This is “who” America really is. We’ve discovered that the friend we always thought was a nice guy has a very dangerous side.

This morning, the #OccupyOakland encampment is being shut down. Oakland police have arrested about 25 protesters at the sprawling Occupy Oakland encampment outside City Hall while hundreds of law-enforcement officers square off against demonstrators downtown in the second such raid of the tent city. Law-enforcement officers from numerous Bay Area [...]

There is such a sad feeling in this country now that our government seems to have completely failed us. The Occupy Movement is the 99 Percenters Response to that failure.

One way or another, America as we know it will end in 2012. We will be living in an America where a wealthy class is cemented into power and economic dominance over the majority or it will be an America where the majority rallies to retake their nation and democracy back.

A quick look into an Irish Presidential debate which I attended on the 20 October.

What if as a massive group, the American People enforced a TARP deal in the reverse direction, from the banks to the people?

Decades of social movement scholarship has failed to answer the question of why movements happen when they do, though there doesn’t seem an end anytime soon to people trying to answer the question.

“Though diverse in many ways what the One Percents have in common is the extraordinary amount of the nation’s wealth they control.”

Here’s a a plan to destroy Social Security and Medicare, crush the poor and plunge most Americans deeper in debt just so that the wealthy can pay less in taxes…and the perpetrator becomes more popular?

Thanks to Occupy Las Vegas, tourists caught a glimpse of “The Real Vegas”: the unemployed, the working poor, the struggling students, the struggling seniors. This is the side of Vegas that LVCVA would rather not advertise.

When the London (and other English cities)riots rampaged earlier this year, I read with droll amusement, the armchair activist quarterbacks’ wistful comments in Huffington Post and elsewhere, basking in admiration and awe of what they thought they were seeing. Viewed from a closer range … like here in the UK … [...]

Republicans can’t even pummel Obama during what’s supposed to be his “WORST. MONTH. EVER!!!” so why do polls say many Americans believe he is certain to lose next year when all relevant data point otherwise?

On the Debt Ceiling deal, the word was that Obama “caved”. Did he? The evidence indicates otherwise.

A most interesting article from Alternet, looking at the reasons for numbers of young people taking to the streets and risking arrest and possible police brutality to make their voices heard. By David Graeber With No Future Visible, Young Activists Have Few Options but to “Occupy Wall Street” Is it [...]

In their Class War against Americans, what the wealthy fail to understand is blowback. Once a democracy no longer serve its people, they stop looking to elections to solve their problems and take their destiny (and pitchforks and torches) into their own hands.

Once Americans realize why the rich keep getting richer while they seem stuck in Po’-Town-USA, they may very well redirect their anger in a way that Tea Party, Inc. fears the most.

We have a unique opportunity to have the Obama Administration review and consider proposals and agendas that the people here at The Planet want our President to act on so let’s take advantage of this great opportunity ASAP!

As this video shows, there is only one magical cure for all that ails America and Americans…tax cuts!

This was the scene outside Dean Heller’s Las Vegas office today. While Senator Dean Heller (R-”Tea Party”) continues to oppose anything he considers “not good enough“, meaning not painful enough for working class Nevadans, our country faces deep problems. This isn’t the first time Heller has felt the heat from [...]
