11-11-22 Support Safecast - a global sensor network for collecting and sharing radiation data to empower the People

Following the March Fukushima, Japan, disaster, the September Marcoule, France, accident, the recent radioactivity cloud over central Europe, and news of pending military action in Iran - a renewed call in support of Safecast, a global sensor network for collecting and sharing radiation measurements to empower people with data about their environments.  None of the governments involved is to be trusted in this matter.
    

Jerusalem, November 22 -  Human Rights Alert (NGO), renewed the call in support of in support of Safecast - a global sensor network for collecting and sharing radiation measurements to empower people with data about their environments. [i]

The call came in the wake of:

•  The current wave of radioactive iodine over Europe; [ii]
•  The September 2011 Marcoule, France, nuclear accident, where one worker was "carbonized" and others seriously hurt; [iii]
•  The March 2011 Fukushima, Japan nuclear disaster, the scope of which is yet to unfold, and [iv]
•  The ongoing news of a pending military action against the nuclear plants in Iran. [v]

"None of the governments involved is to be trusted to provide the People truthful information in case of nuclear accidents," says Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert.

Inexpensive radiation monitors are readily available today, and if consistently used by volunteers to report radiation levels in their environments, would provide an important source of information, more reliable than government-originated news.

The People's access to valid and reliable information in an age where media are largely controlled by the government-corporate complex, is one of the topics to be discussed in the planned September 2012 Celebration in Jerusalem-AlQuds.

Human rights, freedom of the press, and access to information are among subjects to be discussed in:

Conspiracies, Coups and Currencies

By ROSS DOUTHATPublished: November 19, 2011

The murmurs about Barack Obama being forced out began in Berlin and Beijing. After his party lost the midterm vote, there were hints that a government of technocrats would be imposed on America, to save the country from a debt crisis and the world from a depression.
As the debt-ceiling negotiations stalled out over the summer, a global coalition ­ led by Germany, China and the International Monetary Fund ­ began working behind the scenes to ease Obama out of the White House. The credit downgrade was the final blow: the president had lost the confidence of the world’s shadow government, and his administration could no longer survive.

Within days, thanks to some unusual constitutional maneuvering, Obama resigned the presidency and Michael Bloomberg was invited to take the oath of office. With Beijing issuing veiled threats against our currency, Congress had no choice but to turn the country’s finances over to the Senate’s bipartisan Gang of 6, which in turn acceded to Chinese and German “supervision” of their negotiations. Meanwhile, there was a growing consensus in Europe and Asia that only a true global superstate could prevent the debt contagion from spreading ...

FOR Americans, the scenario I’ve just imagined is a paranoid fantasy, the kind of New World Order nightmare that haunts the sleep of black-helicopter watchers and Trilateral Commission obsessives.

But for the inhabitants of Italy and Greece, who have just watched democratically elected governments toppled by pressure from financiers, European Union bureaucrats and foreign heads of state, it evokes the cold reality of 21st-century politics. Democracy may be nice in theory, but in a time of crisis it’s the technocrats who really get to call the shots. National sovereignty is a pretty concept, but the survival of the European common currency comes first.

Please join the struggle to safeguard the basic Human Rights of Bradley Manning.

Bradley Manning is accused to leaking US government records to Wikileaks.  In the meanwhile he has been held under conditions that are widely seen as torture.  Please email your protest to Lt. Col Anne Edgecomb, Office of Public Affairs, Office of the Secretary of the Army, Alayne.conway at us.army.mil

The ongoing abuse of Bradley Manning has been repeatedly criticized, not only by the international community, but also by leading legal scholars in the United States and senior administration officials.  Many more admire his conduct - exposing blatant war crimes - and providing the US citizens information their own government was misleadingly denying them.

Subject: Allow the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture Juan Mendez an unmonitored visit with Bradley Manning.

Lt. Col Anne Edgecomb
Office of Public Affairs,
Office of the Secretary of the Army

Dear Lt Col Edgecomb:

I write to request that the Army allow the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture Juan Mendez an unmonitored visit with Bradley Manning.

The treatment of Bradley Manning is carefully watched by people around the world, and refusing an unmonitored visit by Mr Mendez with Bradley Manning and other detainees, further diminishes any standing the US may have had regarding compliance with fundamental Human Rights.

Truly,

At Least 6 Occupy Encampments Attacked Across America, But Protesters Willing to Fight

Over the weekend, police evicted and/or attacked several Occupy encampments across America, sending a clear message: the cops, and the corporate banks, have apparently imposed a time limit on citizens' first amendment rights. There was, of course, the cop raid in Oakland last night, which had protesters kettled until the wee hours in the morning (stay tuned for a full report from AlterNet's Joshua Holland). And protesters in Chapel Hill, NC, who were occupying an abandoned building before they were removed by rifle. Here are six more cities where local governments are trying to suppress the protests:

...

Portland...

Salt Lake...

Albany...


Denver...

Wielding Assault Rifles, Police Arrest Chapel Hill Occupiers Of Building Left Derelict By Developer
 A special ThinkProgress breaking news report from Chapel Hill, NC.

Wielding assault rifles, about 20 police in riot gear stormed a derelict commercial property in the heart of Chapel Hill, NC, on Sunday afternoon, arresting activists who had taken over the space the night before. According to the Raleigh News & Observer, dozens shouted, �Shame! Shame! Shame!� as the arrests were made. The Chapel Hill Transit bus used to transport the arrestees had a Wells Fargo ad, prompting the chant, �Who do they serve? Wells Fargo! Who do they protect? Wells Fargo!�

Mortgage Registry MERS Sued by Delaware Attorney General

By David McLaughlin, Margaret Cronin Fisk and Phil Milford

(Updates with Biden comments in 16th paragraph.)

Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Merscorp Inc., the operator of a national mortgage registry used by banks, was sued by Delaware's attorney general for allegedly using deceptive practices that hide information from borrowers.

The MERS database, which tracks ownership interests in mortgages, impeded the ability of homeowners to fight foreclosures and obscures its data, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden said in a complaint filed today.

'MERS engaged and continues to engage in a range of deceptive trade practices that sow confusion among consumers, investors and other stakeholders in the mortgage finance system, damage the integrity of Delaware's land records, and lead to unlawful foreclosure practices,' Biden said.

11-11-14 the Limits of Free Speech on the Web - Information Pertaining to Corruption of the US Justice System // La censura en la web // 网页上的检查

Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Assembly, the Right to Access Court Records, and the Right to File Petitions are all under attack...

Los Angeles, November 14 - "I have been posting reports about corruption of the US justice system on the UK-based LiveLeak.com site for some two years, and I've never seen anything like this," says Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert .
Dr Zernik has well over half a million readers on that site alone.  He selected the UK-based site, since it became apparent awhile ago that most US-based sites would not publish such reports.

On November 13, 2011, he posted two stories, both related to conditions of the criminal justice system in the United States:

1) "What goes on there is more like gulags of centuries ago"  - pertaining to conditions in Monroe County, Tennessee, [vi] based on an authentic ACLU report, and

2) Glynn County, Georgia: Kids for cash redux? - pertaining to conditions in Glynn County, Georgia, [vii]  based on an authentic court filing. 


Both items provided links to the records that substantiated the stories.

Both items were first approved, then rejected; in the first case, after almost 200 reads in its first couple of hours.

The current civil unrest in the United States is increasingly marked by restriction of Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Assembly, not only in the United States, but in other "western democracies" as well. [i,ii]  And given the blackout by western media of the relevant news, Freedom of Speech on the web has increasingly become the focus of the struggle.

In what is a sign of the times, Russia Today has become a central source for news and authentic video reports regarding the civil unrest in the United States.  The Russia Today reports are also increasingly censored on the web by Google, in response to requests by US agencies. [iii]

"Suppression/ of the fundamental First Amendment rights highlights the ongoing constitutional crisis in the United States," concludes Dr Zernik, [iii, iv, v] "Establishing reliable free speech networks must be one of the highest priorities today". [vi,vii]
