Protests held in Ireland over Israeli attack - The Irish Times - Mon, May 31, 2010

I'm so proud of my Irish compatriots!!! Fairplay to you!

***********

About 1,700 people have attended a demonstration in Dublin this evening against the Israeli attack on an aid ship bound for Gaza.

Earlier today, Taoiseach Brian Cowen called for an international inquiry into the attack which left 10 pro-Palestinian activists dead.

Mr Cowen said he believed Israel’s blockade of humanitarian assistance to Gaza was illegal under international law.

“Whilst the Israeli government has withdrawn from Gaza, they remain a de facto occupying force since they decide what gets into Gaza and who gets out of it,” he said.

“The cause of this problem relates directly to the fact that there is a humanitarian blockade. I believe that is in violation of international law. People are entitled to have humanitarian assistance."

BP Legal Case for Oil Spill: Cousins Randall Luthi and Jeffery Luthi at Crossroads of Litigation Decision - The Daily Beast

Randall Luthi is the former director of the agency that regulated BP and its Deepwater Horizon floating platform, and Jeffery Luthi, his cousin, is the clerk of the judicial panel that will render a crucial decision about where the lawsuits, which could total billions of dollars, will be tried. Both Luthis are both from Freedom, Wyoming, a town with just 135 residents.

The battle over where the cases against BP, Transocean, Halliburton, and other defendants will be tried has significant impact over how the cases will proceed and their final outcomes.

Consolidating all the lawsuits into a federal court in Houston would give BP a huge home field advantage.

BP wants them all moved to Houston, Texas. Its attorneys are arguing that BP Exploration and Production, Inc. and the other defendants maintain their principal places of business and their key documents and witnesses within the Houston area, according to court documents: “Transfer and consolidation of this litigation in the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, would greatly promote the just and expeditious resolution of these actions.”

KEEP IT WHERE THE SPILL IS - NOT WHERE THEIR HOME BOYS CAN HELP THEM SLIDE OUT OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE!

Decision Forces Filmmaker to Turn Over 600 Hours of Footage to Chevron � Moving Train Media

Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of the Federal District Court in New York granted Chevron’s request for a subpoena, which demands access to over 600 hours of footage from “Crude,” a documentary that chronicles a legal battle being supported by 30,000 Amazonian settlers hoping to hold Texaco (now owned by Chevron) responsible for environmental devastation in Ecuador.

Joseph Berlinger, the filmmaker behind “Crude,” claimed he was protected by “journalistic privilege,” but, according to the New York Times, he qualified for the privilege but “the conditions for overcoming that privilege had been met” by Chevron.

Berlinger plans to ask the judge to “stay the subpoena” so the decision can be appealed.

Many in the documentary filmmaking community have indicated that they will support Berlinger’s effort to appeal and resist this decision. Filmmakers understand what this decision could mean for the future of documentary filmmaking.

Jan. 21, 2010, will go down as a dark day in the history of U.S. democracy, and its decline.

On that day the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the government may not ban corporations from political spending on elections—a decision that profoundly affects government policy, both domestic and international.

The decision heralds even further corporate takeover of the U.S. political system.

A well-done article, as always, from Professor Chomsky.

Cost of Doing Business: BP’s $730 million in fines/settlements 2 criminal convictions � Citizen Energy

A/ It's easier and cheaper to pay the fines than do it right (read: it works for All Living Things, and there's still plenty of profit left over, don't worry.)

B/ Insist that the fines and ongoing cleanup and monitoring for at least one decade after the crime of polluting the planet are high enough and concrete enough that it no longer serves any entity, person, or group (corporations fall under: entity, not 'people') to not do it right for All Living Things in the first place.

This, indeed, is a no-brainer.

To those who defend the Tea People and the Haters

 

Obviously these folks can't be Christians or some other peaceful religion (which is what all mainstream religions purport to be...)

This is from a friend of mine on Facebook. 

'They had ugly photos of Obama as Hitler, a socialist, etc. and a HUGE sign condemning all Mexicans as criminals and telling them to get the hell out of this country. Luckily, the police cordoned them off and were standing between them and us as we filled the street in front of Fed. Bldg.There were around 2,000-3,000 of us. Of course, the paper and tv stations downplayed the numbers to "hundreds."'

Arizona Teachers Must Not Have Accent If They Want to Teach English Learners

So, does this mean ANYONE with an accent?

Or just those from south of the U.S. Border?

Why stop at just teachers?

What about politicians with any kind of accent?

What about doctors with any kind of accent?

How about you can't vote if you have an accent?

And NO Republicans in Florida can vote if they have an accent...

or in New York

or California...

These people are living in a Time Warp. Disgusting.
