Lisa Gawlas – Which Garden of Life Are You Growing/Focused On Within?? – 15 December 2014

Man oh man, ya ever just want to take the field and shake the living daylights out of it while yelling “gimmie something I can I understand.”  Well, that was how it went 4 out of 5 readings yesterday.  Of course, me and my silly expectations.  We are back into quantum soup for a moment.  At least I wasn’t completely down, I could see the field and some sort of energy called you, it oddly resembled the color spectrum of the rising sun I took yesterday:

‘America Needs A Perestroika’ – Gorbachev To RT – 15 December 2014

The US needs reforms similar to those during Perestroika in the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev told RT’s Sophie Shevardnadze. The former Soviet leader also spoke about Washington’s policy of pressure and intervention into conflicts.

A time-lapse video depicting Saturday’s Millions March in New York City shows just how many people took to the streets to protest against police brutality in America and demand justice for unarmed black men killed by law enforcement.

24 Detained As Turkish Police Raid Opposition Media Organizations – 15 December 2014

Turkish police have raided opposition media organizations and detained 24 people – including journalists, executives, and ex-police chiefs – as President Erdogan continues his campaign to muzzle political opponents.

Police raided the offices of Zaman – a popular daily which is critical of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s regime – and Samanyolu television, an international TV channel, on Sunday morning in an operation against what Erdogan says is a terrorist network conspiring to topple him. The move comes as part of the president’s ongoing battle with his long-standing rival, US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen.

Journalists, television producers, scriptwriters, and former police chiefs were among those detained in the cross-country raid, which was an effort to root out anti-government conspirators. Arrest warrants were issued for 31 people on charges of “establishing a terrorist group,” forgery, and slander, according to a statement made by Istanbul Chief Prosecutor Hadi Salihoglu.
