NATO has poked the bear of the internet (which responded by announcing that it’s actually a hydra). Anthropomorphic confusion aside, a NATO security report about “Anonymous”—the mysterious “hacktivist” group responsible for attacks on MasterCard, Visa, PayPal, Amazon and, most recently, Sony —has led the underground group to respond by cautioning NATO, “This is no longer your world. It is our world – the people’s world.”

Thousands of people in Jordan have taken to the streets in protests, demanding the country's prime minister step down, and the government curb rising prices, inflation and unemployment. In the third consecutive Friday of protests, about 3,500 opposition activists from Jordan's main Islamist opposition group, trade unions and leftist organisations gathered in the capital, waving colourful banners reading: "Send the corrupt guys to court". The crowd denounced Samir Rifai's, the prime minister, and his unpopular policies. Many shouted: "Rifai go away, prices are on fire and so are the Jordanians.'' Another 2,500 people also took to the streets in six other cities across the country after the noon prayers. Those protests also called for Rifai's ouster.
Activist Post As the United States edges closer to becoming a third world country ; anger, frustration, and cynicism continue to mount in the minds of the American population. Americans are no longer optimistic about the direction of their country. This pessimism seems warranted as authentic political solutions appear to be in short supply in our corporate state.
Per assorted tweets from the country that is only second (but certainly not last) in experiencing first hand the Genocidal one's monetary policies, the Egyptian government has now effectively shut down the internet, text messaging and possibly land lines - link . This includes Facebook and Twitter. Ironically this act of desperation in Egypt which seeks to prevent the ongoing televising of the revolution, would be precisely the match that would set off America on a certain path to revolution: not ongoing banker rape, not Primary Dealers stealing from babies, not Greek president G-Pap robbing your wallet... merely a shutdown of Facebook and Twitter (and possibly cable) and 300 million well-armed American will promptly go apeshit. Reports are emerging that Internet has gone down in Cairo and perhaps throughout Egypt, only hours before the largest planned protests yet . According to a report from The Arabist , "Egypt has shut off the internet."
For the first time in human history almost all of humanity is politically activated, politically conscious and politically interactive … The resulting global political activism is generating a surge in the quest for personal dignity, cultural respect and economic opportunity in a world painfully scarred by memories of centuries-long alien colonial or imperial domination… The worldwide yearning for human dignity is the central challenge inherent in the phenomenon of global political awakening… That awakening is socially massive and politically radicalizing … T he nearly universal access to radio, television and increasingly the Internet is creating a community of shared perceptions and envy that can be galvanized and channeled by demagogic political or religious passions. These energies transcend sovereign borders and pose a challenge both to existing states as well as to the existing global hierarchy, on top of which America still perches …
When Earthship pioneer Michael Reynolds arrived in Haiti to survey the earthquake damage, what was intended as a recon visit quickly became The Haiti Earthship Project . Guided by Reynolds, 40 local Haitians aged four to 50, built a permanent, sustainable structure from waste materials - mostly tires and glass bottles - in just four days. Requiring very few, easily acquired skills, local people can build an Earthship – a building that will take care of you, while still being sustainable, affordable, strong and logical – and work towards and within “An entire method that is independent of corporations, largely independent of oil and independent of politics.” An important key to the project is the sense of empowerment instilled in those who helped.
