Connecting the Dots on May 5 – Climate Change and Extreme Weather

May 7

Posted by Michael Collins in Big Money, Climate Change, Environment, People's Revolution | Comments off

350.org organized “Connect the Dots” on Saturday May 5, 2012. People all over the world generated local events to connect the dots between climate change and extreme weather. Droughts, floods, hurricanes, seasonal change, etc. are a function of accelerating and damaging climate change.

Headed by Bill McKibben, 350.0rg runs “online campaigns, grassroots organizing, and mass public actions … led from the bottom up by people in 188 countries.”

If the rulers won’t deal with the problem, the people will.

The Guardian Challenge – War Propoganda or Real Reporting

Feb 25

Posted by Michael Collins in Big Money, Corruption, Justice, People's Revolution, War (endless) | Comments off

Take a look at the image of the Guardian front page today. There are five stories listed. From the “Friends of Syria” meeting, the Saudi’s suggest arming the Syrian “rebels” (they already have, according to Brian Downing). Then we get the sub headlines telling us that Assad is targeting children (surely incubators are soon to follow), two journalists are in trouble, and Syria is committing war crimes (what about U.S, UK, and French leader war crimes in Libya?). This is truly “Fair and Balanced” in the Murdoch/Fox sense of the phrase.

While the Guardian stenographers are busy carrying the water for Cameron and NATO, some of their first rate reporters should follow this story.

The Guardian Challenge

This video is from an anti Libyan rebel site. It purportedly shows “-Criminal “rebels” of Misurata locked up and humiliate the residents of Tawerga to the Zoo cage, which was at the end of August – beginning of September.” Tawerga, you may recall, is the town of 30,000 black Libyans that was ethnically cleansed by the victorious rebel forces from Misurata.

Here’s the challenge to the Guardian. Is this video showing prisoners forced to eat the former flag of Libya for real? Are these prisoners from Tawerga? Are they being abused by rebels from Misurata? We’ve seen many anonymous pro rebel videos from Syria and Libya. Take a look at this one, Guardian, and tell us all about it. And while you’re t it, answer this: where are the people of Tawerga?

In the 2000 presidential election, Florida needed Katherine Harris (then Florida Secretary of State), Jeb Bush, the Supreme Court justices – and the connections between them – to put George W. Bush in the White House. See John Nichols, Jews For Buchanan (Image: Jobs with Justice)

The optical scan machines in Volusia County, product of Diebold Corporation, were also key in this election. Alastair Thompson wrote a detailed analysis of the election fraud that occurred in Volusia Country on optical scans. His account relies heavily on the original work of Bev Harris in Chapter 13, Security Breaches, in her book BLACK BOX VOTING: Ballot-tampering in the 21^st century. Read the entire book online.

The Emmy-nominated documentary Hacking Democracy shows Finnish computer expert Harri Hursti hacking the same kind of machines as those used in Volusia County. Harris, who arranged the hacks, stars in the film. So does Kathleen Wynne, one of the first people in the country to call for publicly observed secure hand-counted paper ballots (HCPB) elections.

The Election Assistance Commission (EAC) issued a warning in December 2011 about ES&S DS200 IntElect optical scan electronic voting machines errors during voting. These machines were used in Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and New York. Read more details here and here.

“MISSING” Case – Chilean Judge Wants US Captain for 1974 Carles Horman Murder

FROM THE NATIONAL SECURITY ARCHIVE

Capt. Ray Davis Indicted in Chile for alleged role in murder of Charles Horman, Frank Teruggi
Declassified U.S. Documents Used Extensively in Court Indictment
Archive Posts Documents cited in Indictment, including FBI Intelligence Reports Containing Teruggi’s Address in Chile

Washington, D.C., November 30, 2011 – Thirty-eight years after the military coup in Chile, a Chilean judge has formally indicted the former head of the U.S. Military Group, Captain Ray Davis, and a Chilean intelligence officer, Pedro Espinoza for the murders of two American citizens in September 1973. The judge, Jorge Zepeda, said he would ask the Chilean Supreme Court to authorize an extradition request for Davis as an “accessory” to the murders of Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi.
Both Horman and Teruggi were seized separately at their homes in Santiago by Chilean soldiers and subsequently executed while in detention. Their murders, and the seeming indifference of U.S. officials, were immortalized in the Oscar-award winning movie “Missing” which focused on the search by Horman’s wife and father for him in the weeks following the U.S.-supported coup.

New Message from Anonymous – Occupy World

Nov 20

Posted by Michael Collins in People's Revolution, Populism | Comments off

Uploaded by TheNothing541 on Nov 18, 2011

Greetings citizens of the world. We are Anonymous. Since the occupation of Wall Street began we have been watching closely as countless people in cities around the world have taken to the streets in peaceful support of the movement. A show of support for a humanity free from the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. Free from corruption in our political and financial institutions, and free from the injustices caused by corporate personhood and the oppression of others. This is not the Arab Spring, Egypt, Greece, Tunisia, nor The American Autumn.
This, is mass global awakening.
The lies and corruptions that have attached themselves to our system like a parasite have been exposed.
A way to rid our world of this parasite uncovered.
The cure lies in all of us.

Humiliation and Death as a Tool of National Policy

Oct 23

Posted by Michael Collins in Big Money, Constitution, Corruption, People's Revolution, Populism | 3 Comments

“It’s not acceptable to kill a person without trying him,” said Louay Hussein, a Syrian opposition figure in Damascus. “I prefer to see the tyrant behind bars.” New York Times, October 20

The New York Times reported that a NATO jet and drones disabled vehicles in a convoy carrying Muammar Gaddafi near the besieged town of Sirte on October 20. Loyalists in the remaining vehicles scattered becoming easy prey for the emboldened fighters of the new Libyan state.

Reuters expanded the narrative on the 21st by reporting that Gaddafi fled from his jeep, hid in a drainage pipe, and emerged with an automatic weapon and side arm. He was manhandled and slapped by the soldiers of the new Libya. He allegedly asked the crowd, “Don’t you know right from wrong?” They took exception to the question and shot him twice in the head. He was transported to Misurata, scene of one of the few decisive victories by the former rebels. Gaddafi’s corpse was placed on a bare mattress and put on display for the public on the 22nd. It remains there today, although it is now reportedly covered by a blanket (Reuters, October 23).

There’s a new sheriff in town, NATO.

(See a lively discussion of the article and issues raised at The Agonist).
