SHAC appeals for help to resist eviction
|
At the time this call to arms was made best information available indicated that the occupants of 272-8 Faraday Street, Melbourne, aka SHAC, faced forcible eviction within two hours. In the event the deadline passed, and later indications were that that no attempt would be made that day. But the need is still urgent, hence publication of this speech by SHAC spokesperson James.

Fox News Likes YouTube Censorship?
|
On Fox News, Bill O'Reilly and Amanda Carpenter were more than happy to report on the new restrictions on YouTube, though without reporting on the the changes in profanity rules that are proving most controversial. Meanwhile, Fox Television, joined by other broadcast networks, is fighting all the way to the US Supreme Court to protect their right to broadcast profanity.
The changes in YouTube policy I discuss in this video are detailed in the December 2, 2008, YouTube blog entry at http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=AEX3_7h40mk
The short clip I used from "The O'Reilly Factor" was broadcast on Fox News on December 10, 2008.
The oral argument in Fox Television v FCC in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals from which I took two short clips for my video was originally broadcast on C-SPAN on December 20, 2006 and is available in full on the C-SPAN video archive online at http://www.c-spanarchives.org/library/index.php?main_page=product_video_info&products_id=195903-1 |

Reject the Hate in '08!
|
Barack Obama's candidacy has put a national spotlight on race in a way that this country has not seen in a generation plus. As the finish line gets closer the question looms: what will white voters do in this election? The past week has made it clear that the McCain/ Palin camp is willing to go to any length to win these white votes - even leveling attacks with racist innuendos and euphemisms. The negatively charged attacks have egged on angry crowds and stoked racist prejudices.
AWARE-LA, a Los Angeles group of concerned white residents and activists, has a launched a public awareness campaign to combat these escalating racist attacks. This is a pivotal moment for the history of this country and for racial justice. Its important we are able to look back at this time and say that the people of this country did the right thing - expose the Right's tactic of racist appeals and reject it!
This video was created in collaboration with an allied multi-racial organization.
AWARE-LA has a blog devoted to providing an anti-racist perspective on the 08 Elections:
www.DoubleTake08.org
AWARE-LA is organizing a community event on Oct 25 in Los Angeles, to discuss racism in the 08 elections. The event, entitled The Ballot Box and Beyond: Race, Elections and the Making of History, will feature workshops and a panel discussion with numerous community leaders. For more details visit our blog.

Barbara, the peaceful lone woman campaigner in parliament square was arrested on 26th february after shouting at Alan Duncan MP outside the gates
of parliament.
Barbara was held under the MP's instruction for unauthorised protest under the SOCPA law.
She was then bailed to return to the police station. She refused to comply with bail as she has numerous appeals and judicial reviews concurrent about the abuse of justice at the hands of Charing Cross police.
On 10th April 2008, fifteen police officers turned up in parliament squar
e to arrest her for breach of bail.
Judge Snow who heard Barbara's case has presided over several other of her cases and is himself the subject of several of her appeals and judicial
reviews.
The prosecution dropped the SOCPA charge and turned it into a section 5 offence (causing alarm or distress).
Judge Snow quickly found Barbara guilty and sentenced her to two weeks im
prisonment at Holloway prison. |

Hepting v. AT&T
|
The Honorable Harry Pregerson
The Honorable Michael Daly Hawkins
The Honorable Margaret McKeown
Judicial Proceeding
Domestice Surveillance Program
U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit
San Francisco, California (United States)
ID: 200464 - 08/15/2007
(Recorded and Copied from C-SPAN and Uploaded to the Internet Archive)
U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco heard oral arguments in two cases on the government's warrantless wiretapping program. The Court will decide whether or not to dismiss the two cases under the "state secrets" privilege, which bars the presentation of evidence in court that could threaten national security. Lower court judges in both cases rejected the government's attempts to get the cases dismissed.
The plaintiffs in Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation, Inc. v. Bush are an Oregon branch of a Saudi charity that has been investigated for alleged terrorist ties. They argue that they have a top-secret document proving they were a direct target of National Security Agency surveillance.
is a class action on behalf of a group of AT&T customers who allege that the company intercepted their phone calls and electronic mail, then disclosed the information to the NSA. |

Oral Arguments against Same-Sex Marriage (2006)
|
New York State Court of Appeals
6/17/2006, C-SPAN Program ID: 192974-1
From C-SPAN's Description:
On May 31, 2006, New York's highest court, in Albany, heard oral arguments in four same-sex marriage cases: Hernandez v. Robles, Samuels v. New York State Dept. of Health, Matter of Kane v. Marsolais, and Seymour v. Holcomb. At issue was granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples based on the New York constitution's guarantee of "equality, liberty and privacy for all New Yorkers." The challenge to the state's marriage laws resulted from an appeal filed by 44 same-sex couples who lost their cases in the lower appeals court. In this portion the attorneys arguing against gay marriage were shown.

Fox Television v. FCC (2006)
|
2nd Circuit Court of Appeals
12/20/2006, C-SPAN Program ID: 195903-1
From C-SPAN's Description:
Oral arguments were heard by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Fox Television v. Federal Communications Commission. Fox Television was challenging the FCC's indecency standards and the way it punished broadcasters for airing shows that contain profanity. The network argued that the government violated the First Amendment by embarking on a "radical reinterpretation and expansion" of its power to punish broadcasters for indecent speech. The network contended that the FCC sharply changed its standards for profanity, that the standards were vague and made little sense in the face of industry changes. The FCC fined Fox for language used by Cher and Nicole Richie on the live broadcasts of the 2002 and 2003 Billboard Music Awards, respectively.
Language used may offend some viewers. |

Reporters Blow Whistle on FOX News
|
FOX News told reporter: "We'll tell you what the news is. The news is what we say it is."
Reporters Steve Wilson and Jane Akre were first asked by FOX News and later bribed, to downplay a story they had on a cancer-causing growth hormone called Posilac. The reporters decided to blow the whistle on FOX News and filed a law suit. After the ordeal was over, it was discovered in the appeals court that it's actually not against the law to falsify the "News."
Documentary clip from, "The Corporation"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379225/

To make matters worse, Monsanto Corporation (makers of Posilac), lobbied dearly in Congress to prevent consumer awareness and labeling of their products.
