Indigenous people speak out about gold mining in Alaska - redgold

Fri, 05 Nov 2010 09:53:20 +0000

The proposed Pebble Mine, located in Bristol Bay’s headwaters, has mobilized extraordinarily diverse and determined opposition. In Alaska, where support for resource development ranks high, the depth and breadth of the opposition is remarkable, encompassing an unprecedented group including commercial, sport and subsistence fishing interests, seafood chefs, outdoor retailers, local elected officials and conservationists. Together the organizations that oppose Pebble mine and support Bristol Bay protection have memberships numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Most notable among them are the local Alaska Natives who live in the region. Polls have consistently shown that an overwhelming majority of Bristol Bay residents oppose the mine. According to a 2008 survey conducted on behalf of Nunamta Aulukestai (Caretakers of the Land), more than 75 percent of Bristol Bay residents, among them Alaska Natives whose families have lived in the region for generations, oppose or strongly oppose the mine’s construction. http://ourbristolbay.com

THE YES MEN FIX THE WORLD is a screwball true story about two gonzo political activists who, posing as top executives of giant corporations, lie their way into big business conferences and pull off the world's most outrageous pranks. This peer-to-peer special edition of the film is unique: it is preceded by an EXCLUSIVE VIDEO of the Yes Men impersonating the United States Chamber of Commerce. Because the Yes Men are being sued for this stunt, p2p is the only way that this film will get seen. Please spread the word!"Great fun! It takes some nerve, not to mention diabolical intelligence... to pull off the elaborate pranks devised by the Yes Men." — New York Times"This is the year's top documentary film." — New Scientist"We think it is a serious matter when people willingly misrepresent themselves." — Exxon"We have been impersonating people in power in to make political points for over a decade. The Yes Men Fix the World is our second feature film. It's won a bucket of awards and accolades, but we're still broke. We are hoping that people who share it will donate some money so that we can do even more outrageous actions.How outrageous? Outrageous enough to get us sued! Not long ago The US Chamber of Commerce took us to court for impersonating them. That is why on this special p2p version of the Yes Men Fix the World, we have included an exclusive video that the US Chamber of Commerce does not want you to see. http://vodo.net/yesmenhttp://www.theyesmenfixtheworld.com

Roger Waters - "We Shall Overcome"

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 12:12:37 +0000

I did this to protest the current blockade of Gaza. To protest the fact that the people of Gaza live in a virtual prison. To protest the fact that a year after the terror attack by Israeli armed forces destroyed most of their homes, hospitals, schools, and other public buildings, they have no possibility to rebuild because their borders are closed. The would be Freedom Marchers wanted to peacefully draw attention to the predicament of the Palestinian population of Gaza. The Egyptian government, (funded to the tune of $2.1 billion a year, by us, the US tax payers), would not allow the marchers to approach Gaza. How lame is that? And how predictable! I live in the USA and during this time Dec 25th 2009-Jan3rd 2010 I saw no reference to Gaza or the Freedom March or the multi national protesters gathered there. Anyway I was moved, in the circumstances, to record a new version of " We shall overcome". It seems appropriate.

Video from inside the Israeli Navy Attack on Gaza Freedom Flotilla

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 12:50:33 +0000

On the night of Sunday, May 30, showing a terrifying disregard for human life, Israeli naval forces surrounded and boarded ships sailing to bring humanitarian aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip. On the largest ship, the Mavi Marmara, Israeli commandos opened fire on civilian passengers, killing at least 9 passengers and wounding dozens more. Others are still missing. The final death toll is yet to be determined. Cultures of Resistance director Iara Lee was aboard the besieged ship and has since returned home safely. Despite the Israeli government’s thorough efforts to confiscate all footage taken during the attack, Iara Lee was able to retain some of her video recordings. Below is 15 minutes of raw footage from the moments leading up to and during the Israeli commandos’ assault on the Mavi Marmara.

Greenpeace protests at Nestle shareholder meeting

Fri, 16 Apr 2010 09:45:03 +0000

Nestlé, maker of Kit Kat, uses palm oil from companies that are trashing Indonesian rainforests, threatening the livelihoods of local people and pushing orang-utans towards extinction.

We're asking Nestlé to give rainforests and orang-utans a break and stop buying palm oil from destroyed forests. http://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/climate-change/kitkat http://visionon.tv
