Ron Gochez, infamous teacher/agitator and self-avowed Marxist, crashed a peaceful rally to provoke and torment Cuban exiles. He almost caused a riot. (tinyurl.com ) CUBAN RALLY 'HUNGER FOR CHANGE IN CUBA' - IN SUPPORT OF CUBAN DISSIDENTS 'DAMAS DE BLANCO' (LADIES IN WHITE) Location: Echo Park, Los Angeles, California, USA Date: March 28, 2010 Organizers: Andy Garcia, Steven Bauer, Maria Conchita Alonso, etc. Reason for Rally: ( babalublog.com ) Los Angeles joined other marchers around the world in solidarity with victims of repression in Cuba. The rally was spurred by recent public beatings and violent harassment of Cuba's Damas de Blanco (Ladies in White) - a group of mothers and wives asking for the release of their husbands and sons jailed by Castro for opposing his regime. Dressed in white, Cubans and friends were at their rally in support of the 'Damas de Blanco' (Ladies in White) who are dissident women currently being persecuted in Cuba by the Castro regime. RON GOCHEZ' PROVOCATION: Suddenly LA teacher Ron Gochez and cohorts appeared on a nearby hill overlooking the crowd. They waved a Cuban flag with an image of Che Guevara who murdered many Cubans. Using a megaphone, Gochez yelled Marxist slogans to call the attention of the Cubans at the rally. Gochez kept taunting the crowd until some of the Cubans went to him and took his Marxist flags down. What was Gochez expecting? For half a century, Castro has tortured, repressed and even killed Cubans. Che Guevara sent <b>...</b>

Watch more Earth Focus at www.linktv.org An original investigative report by Earth Focus and UK's Ecologist Film Unit looks at the risks of natural gas development in the Marcellus Shale. From toxic chemicals in drinking water to unregulated interstate dumping of potentially radioactive waste that experts fear can contaminate water supplies in major population centers including New York City, are the health consequences worth the economic gains? Marcellus Shale contains enough natural gas to supply all US gas needs for 14 years. But as gas drilling takes place, using a process called hydraulic fracturing or "fracking," toxic chemicals and methane gas seep into drinking water. Now experts fear that unacceptable levels of radioactive Radium 226 in gas development waste. Fracking chemicals are linked to bone, liver and breast cancers, gastrointestinal, circulatory, respiratory, developmental as well as brain and nervous system disorders. Such chemicals are present in frack waste and may find their way into drinking water and air. Waste from Pennsylvania gas wells -- waste that may also contain unacceptable levels of radium -- is routinely dumped across state lines into landfills in New York, Ohio and West Virginia. New York does not require testing waste for radioactivity prior to dumping or treatment. So drill cuttings from Pennsylvania have been dumped in New York's Chemung and other counties and liquid waste is shipped to treatment plants in Auburn and Watertown New York <b>...</b>

Please visit our web site: www.CleanTV.com Here's a breaking news story about a huge discovery of methane gas reserves. The good news is that all this gas could help meet the world's growing energy needs. The bad news is this methane is burping up into plumes from the arctic ocean into the atmosphere from holes in the ice that are 3000 feet across. That's a lot of gas from one hole. But unfortunately there are many more that just one hole. Russian scientists say they have discovered thousands of these holes emitting methane plumes from the arctic shelf. According to Igor Semiletov of the Russian Academy of Sciences, methane gas is 20 times more harmful than carbon dioxide. Semiletov has studied these methane plumes for years but most of that time they were only about 30 meters in diameter. Semiletov said, "We carried out checks at about 115 stationary points and discovered methane fields of a fantastic scale — I think on a scale not seen before." But with these methane bubbling holes having expanded to nearly one mile wide with no end to their expansion in sight , he is more than just a little bit concerned. The question is, "Should we be concerned?"
