Tolstoy Ploughing (c.1889) by Ilya RepinFor an upper-class literary gent, Tolstoy made a notable effort to take practical action to alleviate other people's suffering. His dedication to the peasantry was nowhere more evident than in his famine relief work. After the crop failure of 1873, Tolstoy decided to stop writing Anna Karenina for a year to organize aid for the starving, remarking to a relative, "I cannot tear myself away from living creatures to bother about imaginary ones." His friends and family thought it crazy that one of the finest novelists in the world would put one of his works of genius on the backburner. But Tolstoy was adamant. He did it again after the famine in 1891, and with other members of his family spent the next two years raising money from around the world and working in soup kitchens. Can you imagine a bestselling author today setting aside their latest book to do humanitarian relief work for two years?

Life Lesson 3: Make a difference
Hackers Leak Walmart’s Guide on How to Silence Workers
Occupy Wall Street published
a number of Walmart’s internal training materials on how to discourage
workers from coming together for action. The documents, demanding
loyalty and that all signs of worker dissatisfaction be reported
immediately, “would sound right at home in a training manual for prison
guards, or as text from Brave New World,” in the words of Gawker’s Hamilton Nolan.
The eerily Big Brother-esque documents have drawn comparisons to the TSA and Homeland security.

Big Lies Drown Out Truth
Neocon Washington Post editors pillory Russia.
On March 7, they headlined “The West must resist Mr. Putin’s gambits in Ukraine.”
They lied claiming Russia invaded. Putin “floated another radical measure: Russian annexation of Crimea,” they bellowed.
They lied again claiming Moscow controls Crimea’s parliament. They ignored overwhelming public sentiment.
Crimeans reject Kiev
fascists. On March 16, they’ll vote up or down on whether to secede,
declare independence, or join the Russian Federation.
They’re legally entitled to do it. A previous article explained. Claims otherwise are false. WaPo editors support Kiev fascist putschists. Russia bashing is relentless.
Out-of-control
propaganda substitutes for legitimate reporting and opinion. It’s
vicious. It’s relentless. WaPo readers are carpet-bombed with lies, damn
lies, misinformation.

David Duke Show 2014.03.10
Today: Dr. David Duke goes into the Jack Lew speech at the AIPAC conference showing that the whole contrived controversy between the Democratic and Republican policies toward Iran are nothing more than Jewish extremist, and even more radical Jewsih extremist factions. The speech before this private, Jewish body which has loyalty to Israel over the United States was actually featured on the U.S. Government Treasury Dept. website! Amazing powerful expose by Dr. Duke. Then he and Dr. Slattery go into Dr. Slattery's new article on DavidDuke.com concerning the anti-Russian propaganda filling the Zio media and how they have distorted the truth about the Russian law that is promoting, healthy, traditional sexual values. Copy and make videos and podcast of this broadcast, post them to the internet and support this vital work!

Counter Intelligence : The Deep State
Counter-Intelligence: I - The Company from S DN on Vimeo.
“An extraordinary work by a gifted filmmaker, “Counter-Intelligence” shines sunlight into the darkest crevices of empire run amok. The film vividly exposes a monstrous and unconstitutional “deep state” in which multiple competing chains of command — all but one illegal — hijack government capabilities and taxpayer funds to commit crimes against humanity in our name. Anyone who cares about democracy, good government, and the future will want to watch all five segments of this remarkable film.” – Robert David

The Enemy of My Enemy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wv6lgyOUGk
We've seen the rollout of the MSM propaganda using over-the-top hyperbole and flat-out lies to try to demonize Russia in the lead up to the "new cold war." But is this just part of the dialectic, trying to get us to buy into one side or the other in a rigged game? Should we devolve into mere spectators choosing sides in a squabble between #TeamObama and #TeamPutin? Join us this week on The Corbett Report as we explore whether the enemy of our enemy is indeed our friend.
Leo Tolstoy Lesson 2: Practice Empathy
Tolstoy was one of the great empathic adventurers of the 19th century, displaying an unusual desire to step into the shoes of people whose lives were vastly different from his own. Following the Emancipation of the Serfs in 1861, and influenced by a growing movement across Russia which extolled the virtues of the peasantry, Tolstoy not only adopted traditional peasant dress, but worked alongside the laborers on his estate, ploughing the fields and repairing their homes with his own hands. For a blue-blooded count, such actions were nothing short of remarkable. Although no doubt tinged with paternalism, Tolstoy enjoyed the company of peasants and consciously began to shun the literary and aristocratic elite in the cities. He also founded an experimental school for peasant children based on the libertarian and egalitarian ideas of Rousseau and Proudhon, and even taught there himself. Unlike many of his fellow aristocrats who claimed solidarity with rural laborers, Tolstoy believed you could never understand the reality of their lives unless you had a taste of it yourself.Tolstoy Ploughing (c.1889) by Ilya Repin.
