Wanted: More and Better Protesters
03/02/2011
You know things are dire when I go to a protest rally. It’s one of the signs of the apocalypse, the one right before the seas turn to blood. I hate rallies. You stand out there feeling like a complete ass, while people around you chant “Hey-hey, ho-ho, corporate welfare has got to go.”

09/09/2010
Imagine if the Federal Election Commission in the United States disqualified the Democratic and Republican parties from the 2012 presidential election and declared that only candidates of minor parties could run. No one would consider it a fair election, and certainly the people of the United States would rise up, claiming the election is unconstitutional and undemocratic. Yet the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections in Haiti on Nov. 28 are just that -- unfair, unconstitutional and undemocratic. The country's Provisional Electoral Council, which itself is not constitutionally composed, is refusing to allow the country's majority party -- Famni Lavalas (Lavalas Family) -- to participate in the election. Thirteen other legitimate political parties are also being excluded from parliamentary elections.

08/28/2010
Less than two weeks after 20 photographers conducted a photo protest on the Miami-Dade Metrorail system, security guards were at it again, telling a photographer he was not allowed to take photos. Obviously, Miami-Dade Transit and 50 State Security have made minimal effort to educate security guards that photography, is indeed, allowed on the Metrorail.

08/25/2010
After the last two incidents at the Douglas Road Metrorail Station, I was pretty much expecting the worst Sunday as I prepared for the photo protest. I even had this crazy notion that I would don a wig as I entered the station to prevent the security guards from recognizing me, which would no doubt lead to them assaulting me and stealing my cameras.

03/06/2010
What is looting? Is it the taking of property after a disaster? If so, then was it looting when some World Trade Center evacuees on 9/11 broke into soda machines and distributed water to people in the stairways? What about when civilians took water trucks in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and drove around neighborhoods distributing clean water? Where is the line?

03/02/2010
Before the official games in Vancouver, downtown and unemployed groups called attention to social injustices. To the regret of organizers, the 21st Olympic winter games in Vancouver have refractory competition. Five days before its opening, unemployed-, activists and community-groups will start a “Poverty Olympics” in the western Canadian metropolis as already happened in 2007 and 2008. Its relay race began on Sunday. The goal of both actions is to move the social misery and massive indebtedness surrounding the prestige-project into the limelight. The self-styled “world-class province” is also “world-class in poverty.”

02/09/2010
In 1936 the Nazis introduced the Olympic Torch relay to the world. Since then the Olympics has acted as a fascist Trojan Horse masquerading as a international sporting event, but benefiting the military industrial complex, sucking billions of taxpayers dollars from host cities, displacing the homeless, criminalizing the poor, devastating the environment and stealing indigenous lands. On February 15, 2010 the Olympic spectacle begins.

Forbes has declared Monsanto “Company of the Year,” calling criticism of the notorious company “vicious” attacks against a company that “has been working to make humanity better fed.” What’s more, Forbes claims that the attacks come because Monsanto has close to a monopoly in some seed markets, which Forbes argues is because they are making “seeds that are too good.”

On 2nd July 2007, the former Governor of the Bank of England, Sir Eddie George, was reported to have been arrested, after he had been apprehended ‘in flagrante’ interfering with the banking codes and sequences affecting the Wanta Settlement. Our sources confirm that there have been ‘multiple confirmations’, since we first reported the matter, that Greenspan himself was arrested. Although there have been conflicting reports from unreliable sources about his fate, the preponderance of authoritative reports from Group of Eight intelligence community and Gold Badge informants, reiterate that Dr Alan Greenspan is in solitary confinement, with no access to a telephone, and that he was not granted bail (1).
