BBC News   Published on Jan 28, 2019

Politicians are using coded language to “manipulate people” into making decisions they wouldn’t normally be “morally comfortable with,” a political language expert has told the BBC.

This kind of political message – which only a particular target audience is meant to understand – is known as a “dog whistle,” Professor Jennifer says.

Some have claimed these tactics were used to make people think Barack Obama was a foreigner. Others said UKIP’s “Breaking Point” poster was a racist dog whistle.

So how does it work?

Trump’s particular brand of chaos might seem unique, but there’s one man who arguably deserves even more credit than the president for Trumpism. That man is Steve Bannon — Trump’s campaign CEO-turned former White House chief strategist, and the architect of some of Trump’s most extreme policies. Now, he’s the subject of a new film by Academy Award-winning documentarian and Cambridge native Errol Morris. It’s called ‘American Dharma,’ which thus far does not have a distributor.

In the 1950s, American’s went crazy for the nuclear bomb, going as far as to travel out to Atomic hotels in Las Vegas to watch the explosions themselves.

We often remember the 1950s and early 1960s in America as a golden era of abundance, harmony and the American dream made real. This film reveals that to be a carefully constructed illusion. In truth, the era of America’s supremacy was a time of government deception, racial conflict and fears of nuclear annihilation.

Striking for Our Lives

Workday Minnesota
Published on Nov 28, 2014

http://www.workdayminnesota.org Black Friday, 11/28/14 More than 150 janitors and supporters picketed at Quarry Shopping Center in Minneapolis to call for living wages for the workers who clean stores like Home Depot. Janitors who work for five cleaning companies and clean 50 stores in the Twin Cites went on strike today. CTUL organizer Veronica Mendez told the crowd that a recent Minnesota Department of Health study found that low wage workers live an average of eight years fewer than people who earn adequate levels of pay. She said that companies who pay employees less than living wages, “steal years form the lives of workers and their children.”
