Care about the least, or care about none. Choices in this life do matter so terribly, one of the necessities of survival for us all.

I worked with Covenant House outreaches in DC and in NYC…

Many never “get” how one growing up in poverty views life… A mirror opposite of privilege…a “that must not be for me” view of life in general. This slef view tends to cause an internal spiral of defeat…

All touched by this loss will be in my thoughts today…

Thanks for sharing…(((MarieRoget)))

Unregistered work

American law states that anyone representing a foreigner for political reasons must register as an agent. Failure to do so is punishable by a fine or jail.

Payne and WSP do not appear to have registered much of their work for foreigners with the Department of Justice.

Payne said WSP’s work for Azerbaijan was nonpolitical, but its brochure says that it “implemented an aggressive media campaign to discredit the Azeri opposition”.

WSP did not register its work for an Uzbek politician as it was unpaid. The justice department says unpaid work must be registered.

make sure to download the brochure from the beginning of the article, verrrrrry interesting.

it’s just a little fishy that a company would have a licensing patent from nasa, and there is no record of them anywhere.
