Operation Invade Wall Street - a Message to the Media

Message supposedly issued by Anonymous was fake, group says disregard.

(NEW YORK ) - Operation Invade Wall Street is bullshit! It is a fake planted operation by law enforcement and cyber crime agencies in order to get you to undermine the Occupy Wall Street movement. It proposes you use depreciated tools that have known flaws such as LOIC.

Anonymous would never tell you to use LOIC - Not after the arrests and failures of Operation Payback. Anonymous wouldn't attack NYSE on a HOLIDAY - It is debatable if Anonymous would ever even attack NYSE.

Petition for Full Disclosure of Where and When Agent Orange was used Outside of Vietnam - to Include Guam

This petition can coincide with Senator Gillibrand's investigation into Agent Orange herbicide use and HR2634 VICTIMS OF AGENT ORANGE.

(SALEM, Ore.) - A petition that you can sign here, will help ensure that the U.S. government is taking important steps to be accountable and reveal all of the locations where Agent Orange was used in places outside of the conflict zone of the Vietnam War.

For those who are not familiar, this chemical was developed and marketed to the government by Monsanto and Dow and it was sprayed over the jungles of Vietnam to reduce the foliage so that American planes could more easily attack enemies that otherwise were obscured by the natural landscape.

The Drop Zone - Sky Diving at Perth

Reasons why you should drop out of a plane!

(PERTH, Aust.) - My ears popped, the plane door opened, and I was free falling. These 60 seconds feel like a long time, time suspended. I am hooked.

The day began early. Sun shining, no breeze: ideal conditions for skydiving. The aerodrome is an hour out of Perth. I'd be tethered to a man I’d never met for five minutes and 60 seconds. I had read of stories where the main shoot had been tangled up and the instructor had to jettison it before pulling the backup auxiliary shoot.

Sri Lanka denies visa to European Parliament group

In the meantime, I will continue to highlight and speak out against what I consider to be war crimes of the Rajapakse regime and to defend the right to self determination by the Tamil people in Sri Lanka.

(LONDON Sri Lanka Guardian) - I was meant to travel to Sri Lanka this week as part of an official delegation from the GUE/NGL (Left group in European Parliament). The idea to travel to Sri Lanka came from the meeting I hosted in the Parliament a few months ago about the massacre of Tamils in Sri Lanka.

My wish to go was strengthened by the many meetings I have had with the Tamil Diaspora, and others active on the issue of Tamil rights, in the recent period.

Uncle Sam May Want You

“The assassination of Anwar Al-Awlaki by American drone attacks is the latest of many affronts to domestic and international law.” - Vince Warren, Executive Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR)

(TEHRAN ) - “We call for the Islam that was sent by Allah to Prophet Muhammad (S), the Islam of jihad and sharia ruling.

Any voice that calls for this Islam, they either kill the person or the character; they kill the person by murdering or jailing them, or they kill the character by distorting their image in the media,” declared Anwar al-Awlaqi prophetically in an interview with Al Jazeera Arabic in February of 2010.

War and its Aftermath... a Real Killer for Tourism

Learning lessons in Iraq, Mexico, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Israel. Wars remove, often permanently, tourism and economic stimulation.

(SALEM, Ore.) - It hurts to think about it. I would be hesitant to try to name all of the places that war and ruined and closed off our otherwise amazing and wonderful planet. Dictatorships, colonization, fundamentalist religious conflict, narco terrorists, military juntas; the list is long. It isn't distinguished, but shameful.

The majority of the damage has been a result of weaponry manufactured by what used to be the world's two largest superpowers, the U.S.A. and the Soviet Union.
