 The situation for opponents of Nicolás Maduro's socialist regime continues to worsen after weeks of constant protesting. Argentine outlet Infobae reports that the government has been arresting one protester every 35 minutes. Infobae notes that little more than half of those arrested since the detention of opposition Popular Will party leader Leopoldo López have been freed. Many of those released have told the outlet that they have been "presented at tribunals with little time to speak to lawyers, coerced into signing papers, or accused with false evidence of 'fabricated' charges." Many others have accused the government of beating or torturing them. One Venezuelan deputy has estimated the total number of arrests at 1,900 since López was sent to prison, according to newspaper El Universal. The arrests have included hundreds of protesters, but in recent days, the focus has been on public figures aligned with the opposition. Maduro arrested two opposition mayors and three generals in the past two weeks. He also expelled a congresswoman from her position, without explaining what laws she had violated. San Cristóbal, the town run by one of the mayors, is now under full martial law. The college town located near the Colombian border has been considered the most active stronghold of the opposition in the nation. Spanish newspaper ABC published a series of moving images of the state of decay that martial law has brought to the city. Despite limited Internet access, residents of San Cristóbal continue to publish images and video of military and paramilitary shooting at peaceful protesters: http://youtu.be/jAmnGFTZPWIThe congresswoman expelled last week, National Assembly member María Corina Machado, vowed to return to the National Assembly and do her job anyway. Machado has not had the chance to honor her promise to return, as the Assembly has not been in session. That should change Tuesday because Assembly President Diosdado Cabello, who expelled Machado, has called for a new session. Her expulsion from the legislature was a response to her visit to Washington, D.C., where she traveled to urge the Organization of American States to intervene in Venezuela. Stripping her of her legislative title removes legislative immunity. This has caused many to expect her arrest Tuesday. As both laypersons and public officials continue to struggle against his regime, Maduro continues to make public appearances condemning the opposition for their outspokenness. In public statements Sunday, Maduro called opposition leaders "cowards" who "do not show their faces." He accused them of working to "convince the youth to take to the streets and burn and kill." It has been 59 days since Leopoldo López showed his face to Maduro's military and was arrested for speaking out against the government. The death toll in Venezuela, according to Infobae, is now 39. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/03/31/Report-Venezuelan-Police-Have-Arrested-1-900-One-Protester-Every-Half-Hour |

Let's remember that web access also means telephone access..And this might be more of what's at the stake here. In this context the” combination of drones ,satellites and lasers” make sense -as perhaps the high price Facebook paid for WhatsApp.
For sure,Facebook and Google efforts towards universal web access are fantastic news for people everywhere.....

 It cited the risk of death or injury on a widespread scale, probable damage to public health, displacement of people and potential mass migrations. “Throughout the 21st century, climate-change impacts are projected to slow down economic growth, make poverty reduction more difficult, further erode food security, and prolong existing and create new poverty traps, the latter particularly in urban areas and emerging hotspots of hunger,” the report declared. The report also cites the possibility of violent conflict over land or other resources, to which climate change might contribute indirectly “by exacerbating well-established drivers of these conflicts such as poverty and economic shocks.” The scientists emphasized that climate change is not just some problem of the distant future, but is happening now. For instance, in much of the American West, mountain snowpack is declining, threatening water supplies for the region, the scientists reported. And the snow that does fall is melting earlier in the year, which means there is less meltwater to ease the parched summers. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/31/science/earth/panels-warning-on-climate-risk-worst-is-yet-to-come.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&_r=1----------------------------- http://youtu.be/O3ZOKDmorj0 |

“The human impact on global climate is small, and any warming that may occur as a result of human carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions is likely to have little effect on global temperatures, the cryosphere (ice-covered areas), hydrosphere (oceans, lakes, and rivers), or weather.
Climate Change Reconsidered II: Biological Impacts, the subject of this Summary for Policymakers, examines the scientific research on the impacts of rising temperatures and atmospheric CO2 levels on the biological world. It finds no net harm to the global environment or to human health and often finds the opposite: net benefits to plants, including important food crops, and to animals and human health.”
[...]
The scholarly reports produced by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), an international network of climate scientists sponsored by three nonprofit organizations: Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP), and The Heartland Institute. Previous volumes in the Climate Change Reconsidered series were published in 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2013. Those volumes along with separate executive summaries for the second, third, and fourth reports are available for free online on this site.
Whereas the reports of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warn of a dangerous human effect on climate, NIPCC concludes the human effect is likely to be small relative to natural variability, and whatever small warming is likely to occur will produce benefits as well as costs.
Climate Change Reconsidered II consists of three parts, the two being released now and an earlier volume, subtitled Physical Science, released on September 17-18, 2013 in Chicago, Illinois USA. Additional release events took place the following weeks in Washington, DC, New York, Florida, St. Louis, England, Germany, Holland, and California. That volume can be viewed here.http://climatechangereconsidered.org/http://heartland.org/media-library/pdfs/CCR-IIb/Summary-for-Policymakers.pdf |

....The truth may lay somewhat in the middle....
Hell no. It is the case that we are seeing a ratcheting up of the more extreme claims, the least provable ones, and those which are most usable for making emotional claims - these are the claims of extreme weather of one sort or another. And we're seeing the association made with virtually every extreme weather event. If it is reported on the media systems, it's associated with the "climate change" meme. Orchestrated? That quote was specifically targeting the video I included regarding how the WWF was born and the 1001 Club and its consequences, etc. The truth in the middle is what someone who would watch those videos would conclude based on his own research, on his own bias. His "middle" may not be my middle, his "extremes" may not be my extremes. I had to add myself as a bias variable. |

Gosnell Movie A historic crowdfunding campaign for a movie about America's biggest serial killer, abortionist Kermit Gosnell and the media cover-up. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gosnell-movieMcAleer was set to use Kickstarter again for Gosnell, but the firm wanted several changes to the text of the fundraising pitch and, in the end, attached a disclaimer to the project’s letter of acceptance warning that if anything “objectionable” were added the project would be removed. McAleer sent a sternly worded letter to Kickstarter accusing it of “censorship” and moved the campaign for Gosnell to IndieGoGo. Kickstarter says the disclaimer is standard procedure. Unlike FrackNation and other movies McAleer has produced, the Gosnell movie will be a scripted drama, and he’ll base it largely on grand jury testimony and documentation from Gosnell’s trial, which major media outlets covered sporadically. Columnists at Time magazine, Fox News, ABC News, theWashington Post, The Atlantic and elsewhere suggested that bias against the anti-abortion movement caused liberal journalists to ignore the story. A column for the The Daily Beast by Megan McArdle, for example, carried the headline, “Why I Didn’t Write About Gosnell’s Trial – And Why I Should Have,” and included a photo of the press gallery in the courtroom with every seat empty. http://youtu.be/CAAll1R29vs |

China’s plan for global network of surveillance satellites spurred by fruitless search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 CHINA is considering a plan to cover the entire world with a network of surveillance satellites. If it went ahead the plan could see more than 50 observation satellites in orbit within two years, The South China Morning Post reported. This would put the country’s satellite surveillance capabilities on a par, or greater than, the US. The paper said support for the massive upscale was fuelled by China’s frustration over the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370. After a three-week search satellites have been unable to locate for certain debris from the disappeared plane, which was carrying mainly Chinese passengers on a scheduled flight to Beijing. “If we had a global monitoring network today, we wouldn’t be searching in the dark. We would have a much greater chance to find the plane and trace it to its final position,” Professor Chi Tianhe, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, told the paper. There are currently about 1000 satellites in orbit above the planet, though most are only for communications. Of these around 150 are for observation, remote-sensing and spying, according to statistics from the US-based Union of Concerned Scientists. China’s current satellite surveillance capabilities are a state secret, though most of them are thought to be carrying out surveillance over China and the surrounding region. http://www.news.com.au/technology/science/chinas-plan-for-global-network-of-surveillance-satellites-spurred-by-fruitless-search-for-missing-malaysia-airlines-flight-mh370/story-fnjwlcze-1226869302163 |

Have never think about Btc in this way before! I am suspecious the it is so
Send me all those btc of yours as I may be a Grand Dragon from Louisiana... Really? What else? Here a lot of dialogue include racial discrimination, annoying. Totally agree about your vision regarding what ThinkProgress is saying about the whole bitcoin ecosystem. Sad... |

First. No one can prove the Illuminati exist. A bunch of rich people is no proof they are the Illuminati.
Second. Bitcoin was created to, in part, pacifically fight the status quo by changing the mind and open every day people's eyes from today's massive economic illusion. Worldwide.
The Illuminati concept is the antithesis of bitcoin and to be thankful to them (if they exist) on the bitcoin forum is to be a useful idiot. If you believe you are not an anarchist or a libertarian but a socialist that's even worse.

100 or even 1000 times, it doesn't matter. We see what happenning in the China or Vietnam, and anybody able to compare this with DPRK or "liberal" USA. The difference is so obvious that only the blind people can deny this.  We can spend unlimited amount time trying to oppose this, but it would be a complete waste of time.  Yes. That is why I will never understand why people are opposed to beautiful charts like these. They should simply submit to the facts.  I suppose that it's in Tibet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibet_Autonomous_Regionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_support_for_Tibetan_independenceThis movement doesn't care about economy, money or whatever. They simply wish to convert Tibet Autonomous Region into independent country. There is a disputed territory, and sometimes such self-immolation events are performed here. Territorial disputes never have been free (Remember the Northern Ireland and other records in the history of Europe), in any form of government. It has nothing in common with subject of our discussion. It has nothing to do with our conversation because you have decided to. It would be as if one would be collecting voodoo dolls for their naive beauty while rejecting the very purpose of their creation for being an atheist and rejecting superstition. If you say the action of China, its politburo, its policy, its military might and Tibet monks immolating themselves in public are not connected actions then yes nothing in the world will convince you otherwise, beautiful colored charts included. Now is the Kim Jong family pro comunists or pro capitalists? "It does not matter, as it is a monarchy" I can hear my socialist friends tell me  |

Why am I not surprised? Even better  Oct. 2011 Leland Yee marches alongside Occupy SFIn a phenomenon that may be unique to liberal San Francisco, mayoral candidates are jumping on the Occupy SF bandwagon. John Avalos and Joanna Rees have already visited the protesters’ downtown camp. Leland Yee marched with the occupation Saturday, and on Friday David Chiu stopped by for a chat with the 99 percent. Yee joined Occupy SF for a massive march to Civic Center Plaza on Saturday. "I'm proud to have always stood with the 99%, especially when I fought corporate greed at the UC and CSU, and when I voted against Draconian cuts to our schools, social services and health care," Yee said in a press release. "I am enthused that the Occupy movement has taken off and empowered our community…. It is time we return City Hall to the people rather than the powerbrokers." On Friday, according to Chiu’s Twitter feed, the city supervisor made an appearance at the camp to talk to protesters about why they were there. Last weekend, protester Nicole Ghanbarzadeh told the Examiner that the occupiers had come to a consensus not to endorse any politicians. miner.com/sanfrancisco/leland-yee-marches-alongside-occupy-sf/Content?oid=2183736 9/10 did lol Time after time it's proven right in front of people that a public image is not the same as a real person, yet we keep voting in politicians based on publicity stunts, 'un-biased' media stories, and soundbyte wars. And the corruption is at all levels, look at the shit eric holder pulled off. Even local city governments are corrupt as hell. There's a big river that runs through my city, no one wanted it to get so over-built that the natural beauty of it was lost so a public measure was presented, voted on, and approved to ban building directly on the river bank. Anyways, a few years later a rich real estate developer came through and starts building high-rise apartments right on the bank. Made a shitton off them too since there was no competition; rent there is like 3k a month (avg rent for a 2-bed where I live is ~$600). I'm assuming all it took was him paying off a few members of the council to pry add in some fine-text loophole that let him do whatever the fuck he wants. Because you have to master to see the idea, so you will not feel surprised. Are you using google translate? not trying to be insulting. Just wanting to know. |

The fuck? I immediately did think this was from onion at first, what the global warming guys fail to realise that in order to halt the Carbon Dioxide emissions so much they would have to kill a significant amount of human and animal population and I'm not joking which is why I think this whole thing about Carbon Dioxide is ridiculous, the fact is our planet can't sustain these numbers anymore and people are predicting that unless we go to space within a century our species will go extinct. Even if you switched to renewable energy and drastically reduced your living standards as a result, the carbon dioxide is still going to rise because living things excrete carbon dioxide, I had actually not thought that deeply about this until I saw this stupid article, these people are fucking insane. I would agree with that last description. But again they are not insane. What you are describing has been their master plan all along: mass elimination of human beings (excluding them and their family members) http://youtu.be/PQ9mFw1WM_whttp://youtu.be/D2Mh1-jpE4MDon't forget: everybody has an agenda including myself. So watch the videos, learn the viewpoint and counter argue with a bigger perspective by using all the tools we have now. The truth may lay somewhat in the middle, but this is fascinating to see this happening in real time in front of us for so long, building historical facts day by day. |
