About Camp David

Sat, 05/05/2012 - 1:47pm

Here's some excellent research from aboutcampdavid.blogspot.com

The location of the 2012 G-8 Summit was unexpectedly moved from Chicago
to Camp David back in early March. When asked about the location change
at a March 6th press conference at the White House, President Obama replied:

"Somebody pointed out that I hadn't had any of my counterparts, who I've worked
with now for three years, up to Camp David. G8 tends to be a more informal
setting in which we talk about a wide range of issues in a pretty intimate way.
And the thinking was that people would enjoy being in a more casual backdrop. I
think the weather should be good that time of year."

How to Film a Protest part 1

Thu, 05/03/2012 - 10:57am

From http://www.witness.org
| WITNESS uses video to open the eyes of the world to human rights violations.

This video is part of a five-part "How to Film Protests" series, which incorporates the best practices WITNESS has developed with over 300 partners in 80 countries who are using video for human rights documentation and to create lasting change.


From raw documentation of human rights violations in Syria to the Occupy protests and the range of police abuse and misconduct therein, citizen video is an increasingly powerful tool for human rights documentation.

Now more than ever we need to ensure that the footage that we capture as activists incorporates essential information like the exact date, time and location so it may best be used by the media, as evidence, and for advocacy. Additionally, we need to pay special attention to the unique safety and security risks that we face as filmmakers and activists, as well as risks to those we capture in our footage.

--- How-to Film Safely and Effectively for Human Rights ---

This video series is broken into small, two-minute videos, and focuses on how to best prepare to film, choose and test your equipment, get good footage, film as part of a team and conduct interviews.

Whether you're filming the May 1st Occupy Wall Street protests and events or just want to be prepared to best use your camera phone if you are in the wrong place at the right time, watch these how-to videos to be best prepared to capture good footage that will be engaging, informative and can be used for potential advocacy and evidentiary use.

We are excited to share these tips in video and text. Let us know how they are useful for you, and what you would add to make them even better by adding comments to the videos or at http://blog.witness.org

Occupy the Environmental Protection Agency

Sat, 03/31/2012 - 12:04pm

The initial action of NOW DC ( http://NOWDC.org )  100 or so people marched from Franklin Square to the Environmental Protection Agency to tell them to do their job for a change.  Whistle blowers and industry insiders spoke to culture of STFU that has allowed corporations to rape the planet of resources for immediate financial profit with no consideration of the health of the future generations.

Tokyo Soil Samples Would Be Considered Nuclear Waste In The US

Thu, 03/29/2012 - 9:40am

There are indications that radiation levels are increasing in Tokyo.

Nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen took 5 random soil samples in Tokyo
recently, and found that all 5were so radioactive that they would be
considered radioactive waste in the United States, which would have to
be specially disposed of at a facility in Texas:

Indeed, shortly after the earthquake, U.S. government officials notes
widespread contamination throughout northern Japan, including Tokyo,
and said:

Entire region would be required to be posted as radiological area.

No wonder the potential evacuation of Tokyo has been quietly discussed by Japanese officials ever since the earthquake hit.

Sat, 03/17/2012 - 8:39pm

This video from the 2004 G8 Summit in Brunswick Georgia is an excellent case study of successful negotiation with the police.  A small Black Bloc marches off on a breakaway march to an intersection that would block the only way on to Sea Island, where the Summit was being held.  Watch Lisa Fithian and a group of rambunctious, ballsy youth navigate this potentially disastrous maneuver.

Everything is Illegal

Thu, 03/01/2012 - 9:38pm

I rarely repost mainstream tv shows, especially from FOX... But, this is really good journalism and this is an expose on the systemic problems facing the United States.  We Live in a Fascist State, governed by greedy bastards who brainwash power hungry thugs to respress good hard working honest FREE PEOPLE.  True authority is earned with good deeds, not enforced through violence.  Violence is enslaving nonviolent people and destroying families for personal gain and ego trips. 

Freedom does not subscribe to a system or a dogma or a ruler. Freedom is freedom; you have it or you don't. No Country has freedom. All individuals have freedom. Some individuals claim it. Some individuals are afraid of it and replace it with Democracy, Socialism, Communism, Corporatism, Fascism or Debt Slavery... etc.

Is it possile to turn this shit around?  Is Justice & Freedom attainable in the Unted States?  If your not the 1%?
