People realize that the institutions don’t work because they are experiencing the consequences. This week was the one year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy and the recovery effort, Occupy Sandy.To mark the occasion, people rom those areas brought a human “wave of change” to city hall in New York and held a march they called “Turn the Tide.” Protesters are demanding that five priorities be met: good jobs, affordable housing, sustainable energy, community engagement and strong healthcare.

 

Sandy demonstrates the dysfunction of government to address both the people’s needs and climate change. As Naomi Klein wrote this week in How Science Is Telling Us All To Revolt, “there is still time to avoid catastrophic warming, but not within the rules of capitalism as they are currently constructed; which may be the best argument we have ever had for changing those rules.”

As New York City police commissioner, Bernard Kerik was ultimately responsible for the incarceration of many criminals. Now that he has seen the prison system from the inside, having served three years behind bars, he has a new appraisal of the U.S. penal system: “insane.”

 

In his first interview since his release from prison, where he served time for tax evasion and lying to federal authorities, Kerik told NBC’s Matt Lauer on the Today show Friday: “No one in the history of our country has ever been in the system with my background. “You have to be on the other side of the bars. You have to see what it’s like to be a victim of the system. There’s no way to do that from the other side. “If the American people and members of Congress saw what I saw, there would be anger, there would be outrage, and there would be change, because nobody would stand for it.”

Just three weeks ago, Airport Police Chief Patrick Gannon said his officers and a “couple hundred” Los Angeles police officers practiced a drill dealing with a scenario very similar to what unfolded Friday.

 

Authorities found a note in the gunman’s bag indicating that he wanted to kill TSA agents, according to two law enforcement officials. The note contained other antigovernment rhetoric and made clear that he wanted to avoid hurting civilians, the officials said.

Government and utility industry officials are so concerned, in fact, that in November, they will stage a massive emergency drill, called GridEx II,  that will involve thousands of utility workers, business executives, National Guard officers, FBI antiterrorism experts and government officials from the U.S., Canada and Mexico.  They’ll practice responding to a simulated failure of large parts of the electrical system across North America.

EU diplomats who traveled to Washington over the NSA’s spy program have been left with their questions unanswered. The US insisted all the intelligence gathered in Europe was related to warzones in the Middle East and would continue.
