Saul Alinsky's 13 Rules For 'Have-Nots' To Gain Power

Submitted by Bilal Hafeez: Obama used his ideas on his path to the US Presidency, Hilary Clinton wrote her thesis on his work, and grass-roots movements, from both the left and now the right, treat his work as the template for action. Yet many people have never heard of the American Saul Alinsky. He is thought be the founder of modern community organising and wrote one of the most influential books on setting up grass-roots movements: the 1971 book “Rules For Radicals”. The basic philosophy was to give power to the have-nots. In his introduction he wrote:
“WHAT FOLLOWS IS for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away”
The book goes on to give lessons on how to take power away from the “haves”. Naturally, it was heavily used by the counter-cultural movement in the 1970s, but has increasingly be used in mainstream political campaigns. Perhaps, the most enduring part of the book is Alinsky’s 13 rules for radicals. Here they are with some of his additional notes:

Cathleen 'The Scalpel' London, Doctor, US Senate Candidate And “Known Genital Mutilator”

Doctor runs for Senate, doctor defends genital mutilation, shitstorm ensues. Said candidate deletes tweets, shitstorm grows. Eventually, her ignorance defeats her.

Called out on her support of routine genital mutilation of healthy baby boys, she attempted damage control and came out reeking of ignorance and malice.

She has since dropped out of the Senate race.

By Gary Costanza: Lesson to be learned: defending or practicing MGM is not what to do when running for office, practicing medicine, or being a decent parent and human being.

Have we hit the tipping point over male genital mutilation? Is it no longer cool to advocate for routine infant MGM?
Dr. Cathleen London of Door To Door Doctors has been placed on the “Known Genital Mutilators” directory at neonatalcutting.org.
She currently owns and operates a medical practice in Milbridge, Maine where she treats over 1,000 patients.

US Court Revives $1Billion Palestinian Lawsuit Against Jewish Supremacist Sheldon Adelson

In a unanimous decision Tuesday, a DC court is allowing Palestinian plaintiffs to sue Sheldon Adelson and others for $1billion over their support of Israeli settlements and war crimes – including genocide.

By Middle East Eye: A US appeals court has revived a $1bn lawsuit by Palestinians seeking to hold billionaire Sheldon Adelson and more than 30 other pro-Israel defendants liable for alleged war crimes and support of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, a Reuters report said.

In a unanimous 3-0 decision on Tuesday, the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit said a federal district judge wrongly concluded in August 2017 that all of the plaintiffs’ claims could not be decided in American courts.
The plaintiffs, including 18 Palestinians and Palestinian-Americans as well as a Palestinian town council, alleged a conspiracy among many defendants to expel non-Jews from the occupied territories, and accused the defendants of committing or aiding in genocide and other war crimes.

The Israel Lobby Is Built On The Biggest Guilt Trip In The World

'The American guilt trip never ends'

By Philip Weiss: I’ve been reading Amos Oz’s books since his death, and one of the feelings he leaves me with is: Self-contempt. Many of Oz’s characters look on American Jews with disdain. “To be without power is, in my eyes, both a sin and a catastrophe. It’s the sin of exile, and Diaspora,” says one. Another says that Diaspora Jews “shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of… life.”

The message is clear. Jews in the west are half-made because they never had to fight. They haven’t served in the Israeli army, at the front line of reborn Jewish sovereignty. But those exiled Jews derive pride and strength from the armed Jewish nation; Israel has given them international prestige. Because once Jews went like sheep to slaughter, we formed lines to get on the cattle cars. Now we are a proud nation.

But those exiled Jews have no skin in the game. They are living comfortable idle existences. Getting up like me this morning and going to my desk.

The Science Behind The Medical Cannabis Industry

Submitted by Visual Capitalist: There’s nothing quite like cannabis in the plant kingdom. Beneath its humble surface, over 750 unique compounds exist within – all of which have helped propel the cannabis industry into the multi-billion dollar market it is today.
Today’s infographic from The Green Organic Dutchman takes a deep dive into the cannabis components which contribute to its therapeutic potential, how it interacts with the human body, and the ways it can be consumed.
The Chemical Effects of Cannabis
While many people would be familiar with THC and CBD as the two major cannabinoids, there are a few lesser-known cannabinoids which also play important roles: Cannabichromene (CBC), Cannabigerol (CBG), Cannabinol (CBN), Tetrahydrocannbivarin (THCv), and Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa).
In different combinations, they work together with terpenes – aromatic oils that are present in most plants – to provide relief for a variety of ailments.
