'Expendable'


The 'Expendable' film documents the case of Schapelle Corby, a young Australian woman, who was sentenced to 20 years in an Indonesian prison in 2005, when 4.2kg of marijuana was found in her bag as she collected it on arrival in Bali.

The movie tracks the Australian government's response, which included the willful withholding of vital primary evidence. This included the information that 5kg had been added to the weight of her bags after check-in, and that the offending bag was the only one not screened at Sydney airport, which she passed through on route.

Saboteurs have hacked into the websites of several law enforcement agencies worldwide in attacks attributed to the collective called Anonymous, including in Boston and in Salt Lake City, where police say personal information of confidential informants and tipsters was accessed.
The Utah hackers gained access this week to sensitive data, including citizen complaints about drug crimes, including phone numbers, addresses and other personal information, police said.

This sums it up pretty well.....


“No, I do not agree that everyone has a right to believe whatever they want when there’s overwhelming objective, factual evidence that their belief is wrong. My freedom and my life and the lives of everyone I love depend on enough people learning the truth and acting on it. If too many people ignore government abuses, I’m more likely to be a victim of the government. If too few people resist GMO…’s, I’m more likely to be damaged by GMO’s either directly or indirectly. The abuses that are killing us— poisons like aspartame, thimerosal, aluminum, fluoride and policies like wars for oil, opium or gold, predatory lending — all of these policies are killing people on a daily basis, must be stopped and can only be stopped if enough people pay attention to the research that’s already been done, form rationale and logical conclusions and take action before it’s too late. I don’t respect your right to be ignorant because it damages me, the people I love and my planet. There are not two sides to all issues, dammit. They have gotten away with all the lies so far because “there’s a sucker born every minute”. It’s up to us to make sure a truther is awakened every five seconds.”

Something to think about.....


“We were not born critical of existing society. There was a moment in our lives (or a month, or a year) when certain facts appeared before us, startled us, and then caused us to question beliefs that were strongly fixed in our consciousness-embedded there by years of family prejudices, orthodox schooling, imbibing of newspapers, radio, and television. This would seem to lead to a simple conclusion: that we all have an enormous responsibility to bring to the attention of others information they do not have, which has the potential of causing them to rethink long-held ideas.”

Indian tribes join forces to save petroglyph site


In the far reaches of northern Arizona, where city sprawl gives way to majestic canyons and a holy place is defined not by steeple and cross but rather by earth and sky, lies a monument to a people's past and a symbol of the promise of peace between two long-warring Indian nations.
