In a recent episode of Act Out! host Eleanor Goldfield explains how John Timoney, and his “Miami Model” came to dominate modern anti-protest policing:
Terror isn’t imported, it’s exported. The Miami Model uncovers our country’s role in global terrorism, global police militarization and the shared resistance of the 99% worldwide.

Hi, I am going to try and write this piece with as little vitriol as I can muster, but war criminals and their voracious appetites for grabbing as much power as they can by any corrupt or violent means really anger me.
I am speaking of the recent news of Hillary Clinton announcing her candidacy for POTUS (President of the United States) last Sunday. First of all, no one should be surprised, and secondly, all liberal-progressives should (but most won’t) vigorously oppose this person.
Hillary Clinton is proof — in living color — that for one to rise to the top of the Imperial dung-heap in the WaMPO (White Male Property Owner) dominated paradigm, whether one is a woman or person of color, one must fully conform and be fully invested in that dominant paradigm.
All the social systems controlled by the figurative 1% and opposed by the 99%, all the institutions that any compassionate person would liken to fascist or feudal, all have been instigated, implemented and reinforced by people. I know that I alone cannot change such systems; this is guaranteed by the combined oligarchical complex of government, corporate, financial and military, all formed in a steep pyramid system with “the 1%” (those in control) atop and “the 99%” (those under control) below.
But it is perfectly obvious that if a system is simply the creation of people, then people can change that system – with serenity, courage and wisdom. And since the systems in question operate at the progressive expense of our physical environment and personal freedoms, it is no longer a question of whether people can force such change, but when.
Anyone who says that people cannot change things, that we are powerless to the control systems that already exists, does not realize they are in a system that began as imagination, an idea, which came about through influence. With new, better ideas, people can change those outdated systems that other people once created; even those that have become long-standing traditions, or pose as such.
