Bernie Sanders Wants to Win Over the "Run Warren Run" Movement

 By Zeeshan Aleem  June 04, 2015

The "Run Warren Run" campaign announced Tuesday it will suspend its efforts to draft Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) into the 2016 presidential race, whose constant insistence that she has no interest in running for president seems to have finally taken hold. And Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is already showing signs he wants to recruit the campaign's 365,000 supporters into backing his own bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

On Tuesday, Sanders called the executive director of Democracy for America, which partnered with MoveOn to oversee the Run Warren Run campaign, after it announced its decision to suspend operations. News of the call was first reported by the Hill, which noted that neither front-runner Hillary Clinton nor former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley had been in touch with the group.

Sanders "congratulated DFA members and the whole team on what we did with the Run Warren Run campaign — not just building this campaign to get Warren in the race, but building a movement of folks around the country who are committed to seeing Warren's populist progressive message at the very center of the 2016 debate," Neil Sroka, Democracy for America's communications director, told Mic.

Sanders' appeal as a presidential candidate has tripled in recent months in the crucial caucus state of Iowa, but in order to close the daunting gap between himself and Clinton he will need considerable organizational firepower — undoubtedly something that was on his mind when he reached out to Democracy for America. At the moment, the group is making no commitments. The Sanders campaign declined to comment when reached by Mic.

Bernie Sanders Rips Republicans For Cutting Social Security For 1 Million Disabled Veterans

Bernie Sanders Rips Republicans For Cutting Social 
Security For 1 Million Disabled Veterans

By: Jason Easley  Friday, January, 16th, 2015, 1:23 pm

At a press conference today, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) shredded the Republican budget plans while taking Republicans to task for cutting Social Security benefits for 1 million disabled veterans.

During the press conference, Sen. Sanders said:

I must say that the budget passed last year by the Republican House which called for massive cuts in Medicare,Medicaid, education, nutrition, affordable housing, and other programs impacting the lives of working Americans, while providing huge tax breaks for the wealthy and large corporations, is a budget approach which moves us in exactly the wrong direction. And, needless to say, I will do everything that I can to oppose a similar type of budget if that is what the Republicans will be proposing this year.
….

So, here we are. The middle class is in decline. Millions of seniors are struggling to pay for their food, their medicine and their heat. On the very first day of Congress, the Republicans in the House made a change in its rules that could lead to a 20 percent cut in Social Security disability benefits for 11 million Americans, including 2 million children, over a million veterans, and over 150,000 surviving spouses. In other words, in the midst of massive wealth and income inequality, the Republicans want to make massive cuts in a program that benefits some of the most vulnerable people in this country.

….

Let’s be clear, what the Republican plan is. What they are saying is that either there will be cuts to the disability program, or if that fund is to be replenished, the money will have to come from cuts to Social Security retirement benefits. And, House Budget Chairman Price is already talking about including Social Security cuts in the Budget Resolution that he will be writing. Needless to say, that is totally unacceptable. When we talk about Social Security today what we should be talking about is expanding benefits not cutting benefits. And, I and other members of the Senate are working on legislation to do just that. And, at a time when multimillionaires pay the same amount of money into the Social Security Trust Fund as someone making $118,500 that cap on taxable income must be raised.READ MORE

Bernie Sanders is becoming a daily nightmare for Republicans. Sen. Sanders went on CNN today and cut through the Republican double talk by letting the entire country know the GOP plan for killing Social Security.

On CNN’s Wolf, Sanders said, Look, what Perry and these other guys are talking about, this is the decade-long attack on Social Security by the Republican Party. They want to privatize it eventually. They want to make cuts. We have millions of seniors struggling twelve, thirteen, fourteen thousand dollars a year. I will not accepting cutting Social Security.”

Shell V-Power NiTRO+ ignites memories of past Shell wonder fuel debacles

Shell V-Power NiTRO+ ignites memories of past Shell wonder fuel debacles

Jun 4th, 2015

I remember the launch of another wonder fuel by Shell in 1986, “Formula Shell”, based on new technology and with a scientific image deliberately conjured up by Shell. There was only one small problem. The new wonder fuel ruined many car engines and it did so on an international basis.

COMMENT RECEIVED FROM A REGULAR CONTRIBUTOR… John, You have omitted to mention the details of the magic ingredient in “Formula Shell” that improved combustion and destroyed engines. It was nothing other than the chemical NaCl or Sodium Chloride, perhaps better known as common salt….

By John Donovan 

In a fanfare of pr, marketing, promotions and advertising hype,Shell has introduced another new wonder fuel in the USA. 

This time round, the new fuel is called Shell V-Power NiTRO+. 

THE HYPE

The major oil company said the fuel, which replaces its V-Power premium gasoline in the United States, is its “most technically advanced premium” fuel, formulated to protect engines from wear, corrosion and carbon-deposit buildup.

“New Shell V-Power Nitro+ Premium Gasoline isn’t just a breakthrough for Shell; it’s an industry breakthrough in fuels technology,” said Elen Phillips, vice president of Shell Americas fuels sales and marketing.

Shell CEO urges Britain to remain in European Union

Shell CEO Ben van Buerden is the latest business leader to voice his views on a possible ‘Brexit’

By Andrew Critchlow in Vienna: 04 Jun 2015

Britain should stay in Europe, the head of the UK’s largest publicly listed company Royal Dutch Shell has said as a growing number of business leaders express concerns ahead of a referendum on the issue in 2017.

Speaking on the sidelines of an energy conference in Vienna, Ben van Buerden, chief executive of Shell said: “I don’t think it will be a good idea for Britain to exit Europe.”

The boss of the Anglo-Dutch major with headquarters in London added: “I think it will be for the benefit of Europe and the UK and certainly for businesses like ourselves with very very strong legs in one and the other to see a continued engagement between the EU and Britain.”
