Peaceful Protest Can Free Palestine. OVER the past 64 years, Palestinians have tried armed struggle; we have tried negotiations; and we have tried peace conferences.
Yet all we have seen is more Israeli settlements, more loss of lives and resources, and the emergence of a horrifying system of segregation. Khader Adnan, a Palestinian held in an Israeli prison, pursued a different path. Despite his alleged affiliation with the militant group Islamic Jihad, he waged a peaceful hunger strike to shake loose the consciences of people in Israel and around the world. Mr. Adnan chose to go unfed for more than nine weeks and came close to death. Mr. Mr. Britain’s practices in Northern Ireland during the 1970s and 1980s were not so different from Israel’s today — and they elicited a similarly rebellious spirit from the subjugated population.

Original version found at: Translation by Erica Lagalisse January 28th, 2011 The Canadian transnational First Majestic has already begun the exploitation of the sacred zone of Wixiritari.
This constitutes an unprecedented offense against the culture of our continent. The PRI state government of San Luis Potósi and the PANista federal government, ignoring the Huichol people who are respected around the world for their great wisdom and culture, are aiding and abetting this project. This is an intolerable deed. A few months ago, the Wixiritari (Huichol) community received notice that Wirikuta, the most important of all their sacred sites, near Real de Catorce in the state of San Luis Potósi, had been given as a concession to a Canadian company to develop a silver mine – in spite of the fact that the site is within a culture and nature reserve protected by national and state laws, to preserve Wixirika tradition and also the 16 endangered species in the region.

Occupy London emprende un juicio contra la élite económica.
El movimiento Occupy London ocupó las instalaciones abandonadas de los antiguos juzgados de Old Street en Londres, "liberándolas", tal y como asegura el propio colectivo.
La ocupación se produjo coincidiendo con la segunda de las cuatro sesiones del juicio que está teniendo lugar, después de que la City denunciase a Occupy London por el campamento de la plaza de la Catedral de Saint Paul. Ahora, el movimiento pretende "restablecer el equilibrio" y pone en marcha una especie de "juicio al 1%", en referencia a la élite económica contra la que protesta en nombre del restante 99% de la población. LOS ANGELES POISED TO BE THE FIRST MAJOR U.S. CITY TO CALL FOR END TO CORPORATE PERSONHOOD. – Next week the Los Angeles City Council will vote on a resolution that calls on Congress to amend the Constitution to clearly establish that only living persons -- not corporations -- are endowed with constitutional rights and that money is not the same as free speech.
If this resolution is passed, Los Angeles will be the first major city in the U.S. to call for an end to all corporate constitutional rights. The campaign in Los Angeles is the latest grassroots effort by Move to Amend , a national coalition working to abolish corporate personhood. “Local resolution campaigns are an opportunity for citizens to speak up and let it be known that we won’t accept the corporate takeover of our government lying down," said Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap, a national spokesperson for Move to Amend. "We urge communities across the country to join the Move to Amend campaign and raise your voices.” For a complete list of all resolutions passed to date see: . FundRazr on Facebook.
