  • Photojournalist in Seattle, Terrence Wynder has been covering the protest area since it started. He details the difficulties he has encountered. It is difficult for one photographer to cover an event spanning several weeks of 24 hour activity that is large, rapidly changing, and moving. It is difficult to preserve the privacy of people being photographed. Police use of dangerous methods are sometimes a threat to all journalists. Limited and often inaccurate reporting by major media make it all the more imperative that independent journalists try to cover these events. Recorded 2020-07-02 Duration 8:25

  • Mark Taylor-Canfield reports on the police riot occasioned by the opening of umbrellas at the police line on Monday June 1, 2020 in Seattle. Mayor Jenny Durkin is receiving requests to resign by citizens who feel that she is more interested in protecting and asserting her power than in listening and responding to concerned citizens. Peaceful protests are being met with pepper balls, concussion grenades, teargas, and rubber bullets. Clouds of teargas are seeping into residents homes. Police behavior toward peaceful protesters is drawing more and more citizens to the protests every day. Internationally the movement is growing. Protesting police violence is being referred to as either the Black Lives Matter or the George Floyd protests.

  • Dean Edwards, editor and news anchor for Democracy Watch News interviews, retired U.S. Sen. Mike Gravel, about his book, The Failure of Representative Government and the Solution: A Legislature of the People. https://www.authorhouse.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/789312-the-failure-of-representative-government-and-the-solution

    https://mikegravel.com/

    Senator Gravel explains on Youtube https://youtu.be/0NajtA-oH-o

    From his book’s intro; “Like many political observers, I believe that our governmental institutions are in disarray and in many cases outright dysfunctional. As a result, our political constituencies are deeply and bitterly divided. This is the case of not just the United States’ political system. It’s a worldwide phenomenon affecting nations we call democracies—meaning governments where people vote to elect their political leaders.”

    People were denied sovereignty and direct democracy from the beginning of the U.S.A in order to protect the practice of Slavery.

    In grammar school he was called the local communist because he pointed out the plight of the poor. He got into politics at age 15 and the recognition from elected officials inspired him to get involved in many electoral campaigns as a grunt. He spent some time in New York at the Society for St. Tammany.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammany_Hall

    An influential book for Mike was These Truths: A History of the United States

    https://smile.amazon.com/These-Truths-History-United-States/dp/B07FDL9QV9/ref=sr_1_1?crid=26GL5Y34V36E2&dchild=1&keywords=these+truths+a+history+of+the+united+states&qid=1586489390&s=audible&sprefix=These+Truths%2Caps%2C249&sr=1-1

    Another influential book for the young Mike Gravel was The Anatomy of Peace by Emery Reves

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anatomy_of_Peace

    In 1971, U.S. Senator Mike Gravel took advantage of congressional privilege to disclose the contents of the Pentagon Papers, that were then kept secret.
