In a secretly recorded video captured by Al Jazeera, executives for the National Rifle Association (NRA) can be seen coaching members of the anti-immigration One Nation party of Australia how to attack gun control activists following shootings.

In the video, which can be seen below, media inquiries about gun control persist, NRA communications official, Lars Dalseide, advised members of the group to “shame them to the whole idea,” when fighting back against anyone advocating for sensible gun laws.

“If your policy, isn’t good enough to stand on itself, how dare you use their deaths to push that forward? How dare you stand on the graves of those children to put forward your political agenda?” the activsists are advised.

Another NRA employee, Catherine Mortensen, also offered advice on how to handle media inquiries after a mass shooting by simply stating “Ignore them.”

The NRA is secretly the National Republican Army.

The NRA, Lars Dalseide and Catherine Mortensen are aiding and abetting domestic terrorists around the world.  #InternationalTerrorism

Al Jazeera revealed on Tuesday that senior politicians with the far-right One Nation party may have sought up to a $20 million donation from the U.S. National Rifle Association (NRA) — in return for trying to shift Australia’s public opinion on firearms.

The Koch’s are financing far-right extremists — indirectly is the same as directly!

a separate recording appears to also show the two politicians meeting representatives of the U.S. corporation Koch Industries, which is a key donor dedicated to a number of conservative causes. In that separate discussion, the two far-right politicians similarly appear to imply that they could help change Australian gun laws by changing the country’s voting system.

The NRA used their tactics against Brazil.

In Brazil, NRA efforts to influence politics go back to at least 2003, when lawmakers toughened gun laws. Politicians deemed susceptible to NRA ideology were supported and trained by the organization at the time and in later years. Subsequent efforts to further crack down on gun ownership were defeated, after mass ad campaigns reminiscent of some of the NRA ads aired in the United States.

The NRA used their tactics against the United Nations.

In its push against tougher gun laws worldwide, the organization has at times even battled the United Nations and its Arms Trade Treaty, designed to stop weapons exports to countries accused of “committing genocides or war crimes.”

It’s time for the world to unite and take their guns from their cold, dead hands.

Every state must sue Purdue Pharma, the Sackler family and other opioid producers. 

Big Pharma drugging America. Big Pharma creating drug addicts. Big Pharma killing Americans.

Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, and its owners, the Sackler family, will pay nearly $275 million to settle a closely watched lawsuit brought by the state of Oklahoma, two months before the trial was set to begin, a person close to the situation said.
More than $100 million will go to fund a new addiction treatment and research center at Oklahoma State University in Tulsa. The Sacklers, who were not named in the lawsuit, will contribute an additional $75 million over five years to the center.
More than $70 million will go to pay Oklahoma cites, counties and tribes and to reimburse the state for its litigation costs. The package also includes $20 million in medicine for addiction treatment.
So far, the trial, which includes other pharmaceutical companies such as Johnson and Johnson is still on track to begin May 28. On Monday, the Oklahoma Supreme Court turned aside a bid by the defendants to delay the start by 100 days.

Purdue settled a lawsuit brought by 

  • West Virginia in 2004 for $10 million
  • Kentucky in 2015 for $24 million.

“The 12-year-old girl went to the bathroom and tried to kill herself.”

“They’ll say: ‘I didn’t have a blanket. I gave it to my little sister. I was cold.’ It just breaks your heart.”

“They want to be in school. It’s warm. It’s safe. Their immediate needs are met.”
Janis’s organization is the reservation’s sole suicide prevention group, and she and just one other counselor, Yvonne DeCory, serve the reservation’s 40,000 residents.
Both women keep their phones on 24 hours a day, seven days a week. DeCory said they may get calls about three or four suicide attempts a night, year round.

Sackler Family: Using OxyContin profits for philanthropy

Opioids are “killing roughly 142 Americans each day”. Can the lack of ethics and morality really buy redemption?

It was not until 2015 that they were noticed by Forbes, which added them to the list of America’s richest families. The magazine pegged their wealth, shared among twenty heirs, at a conservative $14 billion.
To a remarkable degree, those who share in the billions appear to have abided by an oath of omertà: Never comment publicly on the source of the family’s wealth.

Billionaire Republican Donors

Richard’s political contributions have gone mostly to Republicans—including Strom Thurmond and Herman Cain—though at times he has also given to Democrats. (His ex-wife, Beth Sackler, has given almost exclusively to Democrats.)
In 2008, he wrote a letter to the editor of The Wall Street Journal denouncing Muslim support for suicide bombing, a concern that seems to persist: Since 2014, his charitable organization, the Richard and Beth Sackler Foundation, has donated to several anti-Muslim groups, including three organizations classified as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Financing Trump’s Voter Fraud Lie

The foundation has also donated to True the Vote, the “voter-fraud watchdog” that was the original source for Donald Trump’s inaccurate claim that three million illegal immigrants voted in the 2016 election

Vice News: Carrier Factory In Indianapolis Lays Off More Than 600 Employees

Vice News doing what CNN and other networks won’t do, interview laid off Carrier employees and asking real questions. Duane Oreskovic, calls out Trump. Other workers calling out Corporate America and Corporate Greed. 

United Technologies is sending their jobs to Monterrey Mexico where workers will be paid $3-$5 per hour.

Where’s VP Pence, the former governor of Indiana? Not a PEEP!

This week, as the White House kicked off its “Made in America” theme, critics quickly pointed out that many of Trump's branded hats, ties, furniture and other items are manufactured outside the U.S. The president's spotlight on American-made goods also comes the same week that the Carrier heating and cooling factory in Indiana will lay off several hundred workers tomorrow—jobs, that Trump had pledged to save only months earlier.

Today is the end of Trump’s “Made in America Week”. What a joke!

And there’s more layoffs coming in Mike Pence’s home state of Indiana. Carrier is sending all of the jobs to Mexico. 

Indiana, Happy Made in America Week

Four salaried employees will be laid off in September, and another 290 jobs will be eliminated in late December, three days before the Christmas holiday, according to records filed by Carrier with the state of Indiana.

Ashley's hoodie line is called Livelihood. Get it? 

Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a social worker and learned first-hand that civic participation is an essential component of community development. My goal with Livelihood is to celebrate that ethos with creative and innovative programs that directly impact local neighborhoods.”,
"I chose a hoodie because it is universal, was once ubiquitous with the Labor movement and is currently symbolic of important social justice movements,"
All proceeds go toward supporting local charitable causes. Initially, funds will go to education, workplace development, and job placement initiatives in Wilmington, Delaware (where Biden was born), and Anacostia, in the District of Columbia (where Biden got her start as a social worker), but she has her sights set on expanding from there.”

This is the difference between Democrats and Republicans. So who are the real Makers and Takers?

Congrats Ashley. Joe and Jill Biden Pride!

Meanwhile the Trump Family only cares about Self Enrichment and Worker Exploitation

Trump Supporters and Republicans, Happy Made in America China Week
