Stay tuned and check back later today for our missive. Election Day is this Tuesday November 4th! OHIO VOTERS We recommend NINA TURNER for Ohio Secretary of State and ask you watch this clip from November 10, 2012 by MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry Melissa Harris-Perry’s Open Letter To Ohio Sec. Jon Husted: Courts Not Fooled By Your ‘Shenanigans’ “Dear Secretary Husted,” she began. “It’s me, Melissa. Can I call you Jon? How you feeling today? Still a little sore, I’d imagine. Getting beaten so forcefully with all that backlash had to sting a bit. Probably going to leave a mark. After all, you spent the better part of this year throwing the full force of your power as secretary of state into restricting the right of some Ohioans to vote.” WATCH this video from MSNBC on MEDIA-ITE's link and VOTE FOR NINA TURNER!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ZeroHedge.com reposts this item from Michael Sauga, originally posted at Der Spiegel: The Zombie System: How Capitalism Has Gone Off The Rails ............. Today, no one talks anymore about the beneficial effects of unimpeded capital movement. Today's issue is "secular stagnation," as former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers puts it. The American economy isn't growing even half as quickly as did in the 1990s. Japan has become the sick man of Asia. And Europe is sinking into a recession that has begun to slow down the German export machine and threaten prosperity. Capitalism in the 21st century is a capitalism of uncertainty, as became evident once again last week. All it took were a few disappointing US trade figures and suddenly markets plunged worldwide, from the American bond market to crude oil trading. It seemed only fitting that the turbulence also affected the bonds of the country that has long been seen as an indicator of jitters: Greece. The financial papers called it a "flash crash." ......................... According to the latest Global Wealth Report by the Boston Consulting Group, worldwide private wealth grew by about 15 percent last year, almost twice as fast as in the 12 months previous. The data expose a dangerous malfunction in capitalism's engine room. Banks, mutual funds and investment firms used to ensure that citizens' savings were transformed into technical advances, growth and new jobs. Today they organize the redistribution of social wealth from the bottom to the top. The middle class has also been negatively affected: For years, many average earners have seen their prosperity shrinking instead of growing. Harvard economist Larry Katz rails that US society has come to resemble a deformed and unstable apartment building: The penthouse at the top is getting bigger and bigger, the lower levels are overcrowded, the middle levels are full of empty apartments and the elevator has stopped working. It's no wonder, then, that people can no longer get much out of the system. According to polls by the Allensbach Institute, only one in five Germans believes economic conditions in Germany are "fair." Almost 90 percent feel that the gap between rich and poor is "getting wider and wider." In this sense, the crisis of capitalism has turned into a crisis of democracy. Many feel that their countries are no longer being governed by parliaments and legislatures, but by bank lobbyists, which apply the logic of suicide bombers to secure their privileges: Either they are rescued or they drag the entire sector to its death........... Read all of this very long and detailed essay!
And here's another comment and reminder to see the new movie "Kill The Messenger". JAMES DiEUGENIO at ConsortiumNews.com explains ‘Kill the Messenger’: Rare Truth-telling Exclusive: Much of modern American filmmaking is escapist and vapid, but not “Kill the Messenger,” the new movie recounting the brave Contra-cocaine reporting by Gary Webb and his subsequent destruction at the hands of the mainstream media, writes James DiEugenio.
GOT SOLAR? JEFF SPROSS at ThinkProgress.org/climate finds An Innovative New Way For Normal People To Invest In Solar Power ........ The country’s biggest solar services firm and its leading installer of rooftop solar systems, SolarCity announced on Wednesday that it’s now offering bonds online to everyday investors, the New York Times reported. ........... The new direct-to-consumer bonds are admittedly smaller and come with lower rates than the bonds SolarCity has sold in the traditional market. ........... By giving everyday investors a stake in the energy source, solar bonds can also serve as an implicit marketing program or awareness-raiser for solar power and green policy. “If you have some skin in the game, then you’re going to want [solar] to succeed in the same way as when you invest in a stock, you want that stock to be successful,” Amy Davidsen, the U.S. executive director of The Climate Group, a non-profit organization that seeks to promote clean energy technology, told The Guardian. “[This] will include supporting policies to help support clean energy.” A similar dynamic has played out in Germany, where citizens locally own about half of the country’s renewable power capacity, meaning they benefit from the returns on the investment. That’s kept support high for Germany’s green energy policies, even as they’ve arguably helped contribute to high residential electricity bills, thanks to some quixotic design choices. SolarCity’s situation is a bit different — its raising capital to install solar systems, as opposed to offering ownership in the systems themselves — but the end effect of giving the bond customer a personal stake in the social and economic fate of renewable power more broadly. ..............
For more climate news we go to Truth-Out.org and Dahr Jamail | As Casualties Mount, Scientists Say Global Warming Has Been "Hugely Underestimated" As we look across the globe this month, the signs of a continued escalation of the impacts of runaway anthropogenic climate disruption (ACD) continue to increase, alongside a drumbeat of fresh scientific studies confirming their connection to the ongoing human geo-engineering project of emitting carbon dioxide at ever-increasing rates into the atmosphere. A major study recently published in New Scientist found that "scientists may have hugely underestimated the extent of global warming because temperature readings from southern hemisphere seas were inaccurate," and said that ACD is "worse than we thought" because it is happening "faster than we realized." As has become predictable now, as evidence of increasing ACD continues to mount, denial and corporate exploitation are accelerating right along with it. ....................

• • • ELECTION 2014 • • • IAN MILLHISER at ThinkProgress.org/justice exposes this Ohio Supreme Court Justice: Vote For Me Because ‘I Am A Republican’ Who Will Uphold GOP Laws ......... At a campaign event on Saturday, however, Justice Judith French of the Ohio Supreme Court displayed some unusual candor in a speech introducing the state’s Republican Gov. John Kasich. “I am a Republican and you should vote for me,” French told the gathered crowd. In case there was any ambiguity to what Justice French meant by this statement, she then went on to argue that her vote is needed to keep the state supreme court in the hands of justices who will uphold a Republican agenda: “Whatever the governor does, whatever your state representative, your state senator does, whatever they do, we are the ones that will decide whether it is constitutional; we decide whether it’s lawful. We decide what it means, and we decide how to implement it in a given case. “So, forget all those other votes if you don’t keep the Ohio Supreme Court conservative,” French said. French has since walked back these remarks, claiming that “I’m not going to support Republican legislation; I’m not going to support Democratic legislation. It’s not my role.” In reality, however, her original statement is a fairly accurate reflection of how judges with highly partisan preferences tend to decide cases, at least when those cases are politically charged............

• KIRA LERNER 10 Issues Voters Will Be Deciding On Election Day, From Minimum Wage Bumps To Marijuana Legalization

NICHOLAS CONFESSORE and DEREK WILLIS at the NYT A Flood of Late Spending on Midterm Elections, From Murky Sources A stealthy coterie of difficult-to-trace outside groups is slipping tens of millions of dollars of attacks ads and negative automated telephone calls into the final days of the midterm campaign, helping fuel an unprecedented surge of last-minute spending on Senate races. Much of the advertising is being timed to ensure that no voter will know who is paying for it until after the election on Tuesday. Some of the groups are “super PACs” that did not exist before Labor Day but have since spent heavily on political advertising, adding to the volatility of close Senate and House races. Others formed earlier in the year but remained dormant until recently, reporting few or no contributions in recent filings with the Federal Election Commission, only to unleash six- and seven-figure advertising campaigns as Election Day draws near. Yet more spending is coming from nonprofit organizations with bland names that have popped up in recent weeks but appear to have no life beyond being a conduit for the ads. ..................... At least 90 political nonprofits, super PACs and outside groups did not spend any money until the beginning of October, according to a New York Times analysis. Among them are 18 groups that did not exist in September, and that had collectively spent almost $9 million through Thursday. Several are spending money they did not have on Oct. 15, the last day before Election Day for which super PACs must disclose contributions. ...................... The money is particularly hard to track when it is not spent on television or radio ads. A network of five super PACs, all registered in Virginia but with names like Alaska Priorities, Colorado Priorities and Iowa Priorities, was formed in early October, each listing as treasurer a former aide to Senator John Cornyn of Texas, the second-highest-ranking Republican in the Senate. According to the Sunlight Foundation, some of the groups appear to be making automated phone calls targeting Democratic Senate candidates in their states. One call reportedly attacked Senator Kay Hagan of North Carolina as an “extreme liberal,” while another accused Senator Mary L. Landrieu of Louisiana of “printing money like there’s no tomorrow and making everything cost more for average people like me.” .................. JOHN NICHOLS at TheNation.com The Most Cynical Political Ploy of 2014 The American Future Fund is an enthusiastically conservative organization that each election season fills the airwaves with ads hailing right-wing causes and socially conservative Republican candidates while ripping Democratic officials and contenders. But, this fall, the dark-money group is also jumping into battleground states with social-media campaigns hailing third-party candidates, legalization of marijuana and “our progressive values.” Confused? Don’t be. In close races, those third-party candidates might just pull a few votes away from Democratic contenders, who are specifically attacked in the ads. Yes, that’s playing the margins. But when money is no object, every strategy gets tried. Welcome to the brave new world of hyper-cynical, win-at-any-cost, big-money politics. This is how it works................... According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the group “received more than 92 percent of its 2012 revenues from two organizations connected to Charles and David Koch.” This year, one of the primary Koch-backed groups says it is moving money elsewhere; but the American Future Fund remains flush with cash. As a footnote, the Center for Responsive Politics reminds us, “As a nonprofit organization organized under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Service code, American Future Fund does not have to disclose its donors.” Nor does it have to abide by the standards that most Americans associate with politics. It can pretty much write its own rules. And so it has. ................... Over at Alternet.org STEVEN ROSENFELD gives us 8 of the Biggest Election Lies This Year Only in the last weeks of a federal midterm election are voters being told that right-wingers are really feminists, Democrats want to cut Social Security benefits, a pro-gun Democrat wants to take your guns away, and Republicans have had enough with billionaires spending big money in political races. These are just a few leading examples from the “Don’t Be Fooled” department, where Republicans—and a few Democrats—are making some absurd claims in an effort to provoke people to stop thinking and vote their prejudices and fears. Crazy claims usually surface at the end of elections, when the press isn’t able to catch them all, and the 2014 midterms are no exception. That’s especially true in non-presidential elections, where there aren’t national themes captivating the public, but far more locally focused contests. What follows are eight claims from 2014’s “Oh really?” department. Also at Alernet.org Executive Director of the Center for Media and Democracy Lisa Graves the publisher of PRWatch.org, SourceWatch.org, KochExposed.org, OutsourcingAmericaExposed.org, and BanksterUSA.org has this profile on a Corporate Hitman's Top 10 Tips For Trashing Progressives And Their Causes Rick Berman, the king of corporate front groups and propaganda, has been caught on tape detailing his attacks on public-interest groups in the labor and environmental movements, including on efforts to increase the minimum wage for workers. As noted in a story by Eric Lipton at The New York Times, Berman and a colleague met with energy company executives at Colorado Springs’ posh Broadmoor Hotel in June to raise money from them to attack groups representing citizens concerned about clean water, clean air, and the future of the planet. But Berman's "win ugly" tactics apparently did not persuade all of his prospective clients for his lucrative business of creating tax-exempt non-profit front groups that then contract with his for-profit PR firm to give corporations cover for his attacks on their opponents. The way Berman profits from this arrangement has spawned a legal complaint to the IRS. An audio tape of Berman and his associate, Jack Hubbard, has been provided by a person at the Broadmoor event to the Center for Media and Democracy, which publishes PRWatch and has long tracked Berman's deceptive PR operations. Readers can listen to the full tape here and read the transcript here. ........... Here's just one of Berman's "tactics": 9. Give corporate cash "total anonymity." Berman reassured his audience that he can keep their role in these tactics secret: "We run all of this stuff through nonprofit organizations that are insulated from having to disclose donors. There is total anonymity. People don't know who supports us. We've been doing this for 20 something years in this regard. And to the degree to anybody is concerned about that I will tell you there are all sorts of ways, all sorts of firewalls that have been established to get this done on an anonymous" basis. He added: "I am religious about not allowing company names to ever get used. At least I'm not going to allow them to get used. And I don't want companies to ever admit that because it does give the other side a way to diminish our message." GREG PALAST lets us Look up your Name on the Crosscheck Voter Purge-List My investigative report, JIM CROW RETURNS: Millions of Minority Voters Threatened by Electoral Purge, is the most-read story ever on Al Jazeera America’s website. If you haven’t read it yet – the results of a six-month intensive investigation – read it now. And tonight, Thursday, at 9pm, watch my reports on this investigation on Al Jazeera America's America Tonight (enter your zip code to find it on your TV). The Palast team has ripped the lid off “Interstate Crosscheck” – a system used by 27 states, almost all under Republican control, which claims to find illegal “double voters,” those who vote in the same election in two different states. It took us months, but we got our hands on 2.1 million of the names of the so-called “double voters” accused by Crosscheck. Are YOU a criminal double voter? Go there now to watch the video report and read more! Also see Monday's interview with Palast on DN! Jim Crow Returns: Interstate "Crosscheck" Program Could Strip Millions of the Right to Vote. This week's BTV LAST WORD goes to Truth-Out.org's VICTORIA COLLIER with this news analysis Computerized Vote Rigging Is Still the Unseen Threat to US Democracy: It's Time to Change the System Our article in Truthout last week, Top Ten Epic Reasons Why You Should Give a Sh*t About Voting, elicited quite a few comments from readers voicing concern that ballots may not be correctly or honestly counted by our "black box" computer voting systems - and we would never know. The Internet is already roaring with stories of visible attacks on democracy so far in the 2014 elections: 40,000 mostly minority voters purged from Georgia's voter roles and thousands more in 26 other states, up to 600,000 Texas voters disenfranchised due to new Voter ID laws, and the attempts to override the electoral college in gerrymandered blue states like Michigan. We can fight this fraud because we can see it, like the part of the iceberg that is above the water. But yes, there is more below. Exactly two years ago Harper's Magazine published a cover story "How to Rig an Election," (written by this author) detailing the hidden threat to democracy posed by our electronic vote counting systems. Easily rigged and hacked, these computers are controlled by a handful of shady corporations, some with criminal records, who fight to keep their vote-counting software a "trade secret." Computerized Voting Today Ensures That Americans Cannot Oversee or Verify Their Own Elections................................... However, currently no one is fully verifying our elections, least of all the federal government. All four commissioner seats are vacant in the federal Elections Assistance Commission (EAC), created in 2002 to help set voting standards and best practices, and to accredit electronic voting systems testing labs. Republicans are actively attempting to kill this agency altogether. We Need to Establish Across-the-Board Standards for Voting That Uphold the Most Fundamental Principles of Democracy: Full Transparency and Public Oversight........................ Please read ALL of this for the shocking details BradBlog.com, BlackBoxVoting.org and so many others have been screaming about for over a DECADE, what Brad calls "faith-based voting". So get busy and start at VotersUnite.org Take Action: Demand Paper Ballots, Hand Counted! Be sure to tune in DemocracyNOW.org for full election coverage beginning at 7 pm EST. We'll be back next week to assess the damage of Tuesday's election results and what the lame duck state and federal sessions may bring. See you then! VOTE TUESDAY!

The 1st Amendment is Our Permit Our permit to occupy is The First Amendment. Quickly sign the following statement which will be delivered to mayors, police chiefs and major media across the country:

Our permit to occupy public squares and parks is in The First Amendment, which affirms "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." When people across the Middle East occupied public squares, leaders in Washington mostly cheered those protesters and warned Middle Eastern governments not to use force to clear them. Those other societies don’t have a First Amendment. Yet Washington affirmed the universal right to assembly and protest. We do have a First Amendment. The force being used to clear nonviolent protesters from public squares in our country is unacceptable. It must stop.

NET NEUTRALITY! SaveTheInternet.com Declaration of Internet Freedom Tired of fighting bad bills like SOPA, PIPA and CISPA? Want to stand up against those who are trying to control what we do and say online? It's time for something different. A group of more than 1,500 organizations, academics, startup founders and tech innovators has come together to produce a Declaration of Internet Freedom, a set of five principles that put forward a positive vision of the open Internet. Our goal: Get millions of Internet users to sign on to this Declaration. Build political power for Internet users to make sure that we get a seat at the table whenever, and wherever, the future of the Internet is being decided. It's time to stop playing defense and start going on the offensive. The open Internet is central to people’s freedom to communicate, share, advocate and innovate in the 21st century. But powerful interests want to censor free speech, block the sharing of information, hinder innovation and control how Internet users get online. And all too often, people in power are making political decisions behind closed doors about how the Internet should operate — and they're doing this without the involvement of actual Internet users. The result: policies that could close down the open Internet and destroy our freedom to connect. It’s time for us to reclaim the Internet for its users. Take action now and sign the Declaration of Internet Freedom. ACTION! Stop the FCC from Breaking the Internet The Federal Communications Commission is proposing rules that would kill — rather than protect — Net Neutrality and allow rampant discrimination online. Under these rules, telecom giants like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon would be able to pick winners and losers online and discriminate against online content and applications. And no one would be able to do anything about it. We must stop the FCC from moving forward with these rules, which would give the green light to ISPs eager to crush Net Neutrality. The agency can preserve Net Neutrality only by designating broadband as a telecommunications service under the law. Anything else is an attack on our rights to connect and communicate. Tell FCC Chairman Wheeler to throw out his proposed rules. Demand nothing less than real Net Neutrality. SIGN NOW at Stop the FCC from Breaking the Internet at freepress.net NOW.

Stop Media Consolidation! Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski is trying to change the agency’s ownership rules to pave the way for Murdoch to get exactly what he wants. Worse, Genachowski and Murdoch are keeping this all very hush-hush, hoping you won't notice. These changes wouldn’t just benefit Murdoch. If the FCC proposal passes, one company could own the major daily newspaper, two TV stations and up to eight radio stations in your town. And that one company could be your Internet provider, too. What is the FCC thinking?!? We can still stop the agency from taking this perilous step — but we have less than a month to do it. By taking action, you’re joining a movement of millions who are working to stop big media from getting even bigger. Please take action today.

REPRESENT.US IT’S TIME TO GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS SO THE GOVERNMENT CAN REPRESENT US. Represent.Us is a fresh campaign to pass the American Anti-Corruption Act: a law that would overhaul campaign finance, impose strict lobbying and conflict of interest laws, and end secret political money. We are mobilizing millions of Americans — conservatives and progressives, young and old, every issue group fighting K Street, online and offline — to join this campaign. Represent.Us is not just building a movement to pass the Act. The campaign will use hard-hitting accountability tactics to unseat politicians who fail to endorse the Act. If passed, the Act will completely reshape American politics and policy-making and give people a voice.

  • Microsoft, NBC News Dissolve MSNBC.com Joint Venture 07/15/12 — NBC is buying Microsoft's 50 percent interest in the MSNBC website for an undisclosed amount. MSNBC.com will be rebranded as NBCNews.com, and readers who logged into MSNBC.com late Sunday were automatically redirected to NBCNews.com. Microsoft is preparing to launch its own news service this fall. Although he declined to provide many details about the operation general manager of MSN.com Bob Visse said the news staff will be about the same size as the roughly 100 people who created original content for the MSNBC.com. "There is no question that we are going to have more flexibility to make our own decisions," said Vivian Schiller, NBC News' chief digital officer. "This is really an amicable breakup. We think competition will make us better." Okay then.

  • Child Poverty Jumps by 2.6 Million in Developed World Since 2008, While Number of Global Billionaires Doubles by Michael Krieger — The “Great Recession Scorecard” is out. Two headlines. Two very different realities: “A report by Unicef says the number of children entering poverty during the recession is 2.6 million greater than the number who have been lifted out of it.”
  & “The super-rich club has become less exclusive, with the amount of billionaires doubling since the financial crisis, according to a report from global charity Oxfam. There were 1,645 billionaires globally as of March 2014, according to Forbes data cited in the Oxfam report, up from 793 in March 2009.” Read more HERE...........
  • Why We’re Poorer: Inflation and Deflation Are Now Globalized by Charles Hugh Smith — We’re being hit with a double-whammy: Wages are under deflationary pressure, and almost everything else is exposed to inflationary pressure.

  • Florida Cop Rapes 20-Year Old Woman at Gunpoint While on Duty by Michael Krieger — Earlier this week, I published a post titled: Video of the Day – Watch as 8 Police Officers Fire 46 Shots and Kill a Homeless Man in Broad Daylight. In that article, I warned: As long as the worst amongst us continue to get away with their criminality, the more of it we will see. In fact, the more brutal and cartoonish it will get. Unfortunately, it didn’t take very long. Meet Stephen J. Maiorino, the Florida cop who raped a 20-year old woman at gunpoint while on duty. By the way, he was previously named “Officer of the Month” by the department in 2010, and has appeared in the TV show “Cops.” You can’t make this stuff up. Read more HERE...........
  • Day after MSM mocks @maxkeiser for calling bankers ‘murderers,’ Brit banker slashes throat & nearly decapitates two women by Stacy Herbert — Stacy Summary: Truly remarkable. Literally the day after the Independent mocks Max for calling bankers ‘murderers’ a British banker from Bank of America Merrill Lynch is arrested for the gruesome murders of two women. Who is always right? Who is always wrong? ........ BTVBTV and the grisly scene left behind.
  • At Least 130k March Against Austerity in Ireland by Dublin Eileen — WATER, of which we are made, is very fundamental to the Irish people. The holy wells within us spoke and, soaked today in rain water, we took to the streets to say that this gift of nature is a human right for all. Many thanks to the Detroit Water Brigade who marched in solidarity with us today. Tens of thousands of people have taken part in nationwide protests against the introduction of water charges in the Republic of Ireland.
  • KEISER REPORT [KR672] Keiser Report: Nudging, Bludgeoning & Pigeoning Both of us in a double-header discuss nudging citizen-consumers like pigeons and mental patients into behaving as the technocratic elite wish them to behave – more consumption, more selfies, more fatal masturbation. This behavioural outcome is achieved through rewarding desired behaviour with plastic trinkets and poker chips which make the subjects being controlled feel empowered by their decisions to behave as their controllers had wanted them to. We look at examples of successful nudging in the UK where the electorate is bought off with games of chutes and property ladders for correct behaviour. If nudging does not work, however, there is always bludgeoning as is done in the US where the Inland Revenue Service has been seizing the bank deposits of non-complying citizen-pigeons who have not incurred massive debts.
  • KEISER REPORT [KR673] Keiser Report: Unequal Justice System Stacy Summary: We look at the moral crisis of our time as they compare the treatment of a man on welfare benefits imprisoned for six weeks for stealing £12.60 worth of Salisbury steaks versus the High Frequency Trading outfit fined $1 million without any admission of guilt for stealing an unknown amount of money from other NASDAQ investors. This unequal system of justice has led to zombie capitalism which has gone off the rails and inspired ‘suicide bankers.’ In the second half Max interviews Dr. Bob Gill and Peter Bach, director of Sell Off, the story of the stealth privatization of the National Health Service in the United Kingdom.
  • KEISER REPORT [KR674] Keiser Report: Naughty Banking Boys We discuss how, in the words of Laura Ingalls Wilder, once you begin being naughty, it is easier to go and on and on, and sooner or later something dreadful happens. And in a world of very naughty bankers, many dreadful things have happened. In the second half Max interviews Dan Collins of TheChinaMoneyReport.com about the emerging post-dollar order as evidenced in the newly launched Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank and the Shanghai-Hong Kong Connect scheme. They also discuss how in China Jim Rickards went viral and how steel costs as much as cabbage

  • Scott Horton Radio Show Progress Report: All right, yall, welcome back to the show to the inaugural Scott Horton Show progress report! It’s been an eventful year since the show and I (amicably) parted ways with Antiwar.com, so I thought I would highlight just a few of the show’s important milestones, as well as preview some of the exciting projects to look for in the near future. ........ The show on Pacifica KPFK 90.7 FM in L.A., still called Antiwar Radio, has now moved to join their Sunday morning public affairs line up (8:30 am pt - http://kpfk.org), and remains the largest source of listeners, with 15,000-20,000 people tuning in weekly. The future: Liberty Express Radio is growing and bringing me along for the ride. The great Charles Goyette hooked me up with Alan Butler and the Liberty Express earlier this year, and what has been the daily replay there from 3-5 eastern time has become my best listened-to show. And now they’re adding my friend Tom Woods to the lineup from 2-3 PM. That does it. I’m making the switch! Starting Monday, October 14, the live show is moving to 3-5 PM Eastern time on LibertyExpressRadio.com, as well as NoAgenda and my own stream....... New show hours effective 5/26/2014: 12-3 PM Eastern!
