#DemocracySpring & #DemocracyAwakening: The People’s March On Washington

April 22, 2016 By Eleanor Goldfield Leave a Comment

According to Eleanor Goldfied, #DemocracySpring and #DemocracyAwakening, last week’s mass mobilizations in Washington, D.C., were “an organized, strong, diverse and powerful call to the powers that be that We The People are rising. That we refuse to accept a government bought and sold.”

The latest episode of Act Out! devotes the entire half hour to this exciting action.

Spring Rising: Oppose The World Police State

February 2, 2015 By Cindy Sheehan for the Soapbox People’s Network 1 Comment

The U.S.A. has always been a colonial/Imperial power, but, especially since WWII (the big one) has staked its claim to be the “World Police.”

Now, to the Empire, does being the cops of the world mean that it moves gently around making sure everyone is safe, prosperous, and happy? No, just like the local police forces in the “Homeland,” the World Police Force is there to protect the interests and power of the global 1%. The rest of us, and I mean ALL of the rest of us are collateral damage, or potential collateral damage to the Empire.

Mining The Earth & Fracking The World: Environmental Fugitives

January 6, 2015 By Kate Lanier Leave a Comment

Kate Lanier collects news of oil and gas, fracking and mining, the environment and sustainable energy from around the world including:

Worldwide: Interpol is now taking on “environmental fugitives,” including suspected crime bosses and elephant ivory smugglers. Nine wanted altogether, with two already captured. Just imagine the possibilities.

Colorado: It’s getting very ugly out there. Longmont residents voted against fracking in their community inn 2012.  Now, “state officials, energy companies and industry groups are taking Longmont and other municipalities to court, forcing local governments into what critics say are expensive, long-shot efforts to defend the measures.” Citizens are even being accused of ripping off industry.

Chile: Barrick Gold (Toronto) ran afoul of the Superintendence for the Environment concerning the Pascua Lama gold-silver mine. Fines were imposed. A lower court seemed to revoke the $16 million fine, due to regulatory misfiguring, and ordered Barrick to halt its activity at the mine. Barrick sued but the Supreme Court refused he case, putting everything back in the lap of the Superintendence for the Environment which has some re-figuring to do.
