[VIDEO] You bet there's collusion: And other reasons Donald Trump should be nervous after Robert Mueller's indictments

http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/bet-collusion-mr-president-article-1.3599626

 President Trump and his defenders are anxious to portray Monday’s indictments from Special Counsel Robert Mueller as a “nothing burger.” The quasi-official state broadcaster, Fox “News,” in fact, was trying to distract viewers’ attention with an actual story about cheeseburgers — or, to be, exact, cheeseburger emojis--as the big news was breaking. That may work for those who have already drunk the Kool-Aid along with their cheeseburgers. It won’t wash for anyone who retains even a speck of objectivity.

It is not every day that a president’s former campaign manager and another campaign worker are indicted on felony charges. In fact the last time it happened was 1974, when Nixon’s campaign manager John Mitchell was indicted. Trump’s claims that “this is years ago, before Paul Manafort was part of the Trump campaign,” aren’t true. The indictment says that the money laundering and conspiracy for which Manafort and his associate Rick Gates are being charged continued “through at least 2016” — i.e., through the period, from March 29 to August 19, 2016, when Manafort was working for Trump. Gates remained at the campaign even after Manafort was ousted...

Trump’s personal lawyer: Yes Russian contact happened, but it’s totally legal

https://www.salon.com/2017/10/30/trumps-personal-lawyer-yes-russian-contact-happened-but-its-totally-legal/

Special counsel Robert Mueller's Monday announcement of a plea bargain with former Donald Trump foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos for making false statements in an FBI interview seems to have definitively put to rest the long-standing claim from the Trump administration that no one affiliated with the president had engaged in any sort of coordination with people associated with the Russian government.

Then-deputy White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders acknowledged how often she and her colleagues were repeating the line in a July news conference,"I think the point is that we’ve tried to make every single time, today and then, and will continue to make in those statements is that there was simply no collusion that they keep trying to create that there was," she said...

Scott Noble, who also produced Lifting the Veil, pulls together a combination of internet and original footage to create the first feature-length documentary on Occupy Wall St, telling the story and motivation behind the movement in its own words. It is a treatise to the beautiful awakening of human heart and hope that has arisen in the American people, capturing the imagination and dreams of a new generation's struggle to create a better world.

Carter Page Gives Another “Awesomely Stupid” Interview

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/10/carter-page-gives-another-awesomely-stupid-interview

Somebody get this man a new lawyer.

Of all the secrets, spycraft, and disinformation swirling around the Trump-Russia scandal, one of the biggest question marks is former Trump campaign policy adviser Carter Page, who is either supremely confident of his innocence, supremely foolish, or perhaps a little bit of both. After seemingly coming out of nowhere to join Donald Trump’s campaign as a self-described Russian energy expert, most people forgot about Page until it emerged that he was being probed for potential ties to Russia. This past April, he admitted that he had been in communication with a Russian intelligence operative who tried to recruit him but, according to a sealed F.B.I. document, concluded that he was “an idiot.” As if to back up the Russian’s assessment, Page rushed to set the record straight on Good Morning America, where he struggled to respond when asked whether he had ever told the Russians that Trump would be open to easing sanctions if elected. “I mean—it may—topics—I don’t remember—we’ll see what comes out in this FISA transcript,” he stumbled. “I don’t recall every single word that I ever said. . . . Something may have come up in a conversation.”...

Turkey Firmly Entrenched in Syria - Until Putin Decides Otherwise

Turkey continues to operate in Syria, seeking to curb Kurdish independence aspirations. Tensions with the U.S. and Russian desires to ensure calm for Assad, however, may force Erdogan to act differently

The battles around the Syrian town of Raqqa still haven’t ended. The various forces taking part – particularly the Kurds, who have borne the brunt of the ground war – report each day on the new bits of territory they have liberated from the Islamic State. Prominently featured was the recent capture of Syria’s largest oil field, Al-Omar, which used to produce 9,000 barrels a day...

WATCH The real October – artists and revolution

http://www.dw.com/en/the-real-october-artists-and-revolution/av-41093675

How artists in Russia experienced the moment the Bolsheviks seized power in October 1917 - this is the story told in this animated documentary. Maxim Gorki and Kazimir Malevich are among those portrayed.

Based partly on hitherto unavailable sources, as well as diaries, newspaper reports and literary works, the award-winning director Katrin Rothe examines what is still known as the "October Revolution” from various perspectives. Her approach is novel: it is the first time the story of the revolution has been told from the point of view of artists who were involved at the time. What happened in Saint Petersburg, known back then as Petrograd, in the time between the revolts in February that ousted the tsars and the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks in October? During this period of "Provisional Government”, when power was shared between the parliament, the Duma, and the workers’ and soldiers’ councils, the Soviets, Russia descended into chaos. As the First World War raged, it found itself without a constitution. Why did a popular, parliamentarian democracy not take root? What effect did the returns of Lenin and Trotsky in the springtime have on the situation? What side was the military on and who else had access to firepower? Our documentary is a cinematic and artistic re-telling of the story of the Russian Revolution.

Feminists Insha'allah! - The Story of Arab Feminism

http://www.dw.com/en/feminists-inshaallah-the-story-of-arab-feminism/a-40419870

Filmed in Morocco, Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia and featuring previously unreleased archives and exclusive interviews with activists, this documentary approaches Arab feminism from a historical perspective.

This is the little-known story of Arab feminism. We see how female emancipation has been shaped by nationalism and colonialism and hear from the Muslim women who are fighting for their liberation.

The Arab Spring of 2011 was not the first time women took to the streets in the Arab World. It was just the latest in a series of campaigns by feminist activists since the 19th century. Largely unnoticed in the Western World, ideas to improve the lot of women in the patriarchal societies of the Arab World were already being published more than a century ago.

In the 1930s and 1940s, women fought against colonialism and for equal rights. But neither those efforts nor the upheaval of the Arab Spring brought with them the desired emancipation of women. Women must still fear for their rights. Commentators speak of an Islamist backlash partly supported by women. Women’s movements are heterogeneous and at times paradoxical but they remain alive and kicking. And the struggle goes on. Who knows, perhaps the next Arab Spring will be triggered by feminism?

The American people have faced stagnant wages and rising inequality for decades. Many Americans voted for Donald Trump or decided not to vote at all because Democrats failed to communicate effectively with working people and turn out the vote - end of story. The fact is that shouldn’t have happened. The Democratic Party has long been the Party of working people, and needs to do a better job of making that case. No one knows this better than Keith Ellison, and we are proud to endorse him as the next Chair of the Democratic National Committee.

These are extremely challenging times. President Trump has put forward a nominee for Labor Secretary who openly disdains workers. Congressional Republicans are readying plans to roll back worker protections, repeal the Affordable Care Act and end Medicare as we know it. And in state capitals across the country, the assault on workers and unions has been fierce and swift.

http://news.wgbh.org/2017/10/25/local-news/i-cant-breathe-author-matt-taibbi-talks-fallout-after-eric-garners-death

“I can’t breathe.” Those were the last words of Eric Garner after he was put in a chokehold and thrown to the ground by New York City police officers in 2014.
