ANTI-DRONE PROTESTOR IN NY SENTENCED TO 1 YEAR IN JAIL....
Drone Resister Sentenced to One Year in Prison; Base’s Order of Protection Begs Judgement
"Drone Action" network, including Syracuse Peace Council, Ithaca Catholic Worker, Broome County Peace Action, Upstate Drone Action, Western New York Peace Center, Veterans for Peace, Amistad Catholic Worker:
On July 10, grandmother of three, Mary Anne Grady Flores was sentenced to one year in prison for being found guilty of violating an order of protection. A packed courtroom of over 100 supporters was stunned as she was led away, and vowed to continue the resistance.
These orders of protection, typically used in domestic violence situations or to protect a victim or witness to a crime, have been issued to people participating in nonviolent resistance actions at Hancock Air Base since late 2012. The base, near Syracuse NY, pilots unmanned Reaper drones over Afghanistan, and trains drone pilots, sensor operators and maintenance technicians. The orders had been issued to “protect” Colonel Earl Evans, Hancock’s mission support commander, who wanted to keep protesters “out of his driveway.” Mary Anne began her sentencing statement with, “Your honor, a series of judicial perversions brings me here before you tonight.” She concluded that the “final perversion is the reversal of who is the real victim here: the commander of a military base whose drones kill innocent people halfway around the world, or those innocent people themselves who are the real ones in need of protection from the terror of US drone attacks?”
The orders of protection are being challenged on many legal grounds. Mary Anne had been issued a temporary order in 2012. The next year, she photographed a nonviolent witness at the base, not participating herself because she did not want to violate the order. The irony is that those who actually participated in the action were acquitted, while Mary Anne was charged with violating the order.
Even though the pre-sentencing report recommended no jail time, Judge Gideon sentenced Mary Anne to the maximum of a year in prison. As he imposed his sentence, the judge referred to his previous Hancock decision. He had stated then and insinuated now, “This has got to stop.”
In addition, Mary Anne was fined $1000 plus a $205 court surcharge and a $50 fee to have her DNA collected. Her verdict is being appealed.

"Sign the petition: Tell Walgreens to pay its fair share of taxes"
[https://www.credomobilize.com/petitions/walgreens-stand-with-us-stay-in-america-1]:
Walgreens was founded in Chicago and has grown into America’s largest pharmacy chain, but the Financial Times recently reported that the company is considering a change of corporate address from Illinois to Switzerland. The majority of the company's $72 billion in sales last year were made in the United States and nearly a quarter of them came from taxpayer funded programs like Medicare and Medicaid -- so don’t expect your local store to move anytime soon.
Instead, Walgreens is using a fancy gimmick called “tax inversion” that would allow it to continue cashing in on U.S. profits, while dodging an estimated $4 billion in taxes over the next five years. It’s just one of a number of tricks wealthy corporations are using to stash cash and profits overseas to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
Dodging taxes through gimmicks like the one Walgreens is considering has a real cost for our communities. According to a recent study from Americans for Tax Fairness, $4 billion is enough to pay for one-and-a-half years of prescriptions for the entire U.S. veterans population, cover 3.5 million children under the Children’s Health Insurance Program (also known as CHIP), or provide Medicaid to over 639,000 people.
But corporate tax dodging endangers funding for vital programs that help working class Americans like me, just to line the pockets of corporate shareholders and CEOs.

KCSM Public Television and Community Radio [kcsm.org/info/contact.php], under pressure from their financial backers and clandestine government agencies, is censoring the popular RT News, which has covered the USA funding of nazis in the Ukraine killing Russian residents. This decision to censor a popular television news program is part of the cancellation of the entire "MHz Worldview" program package [http://www.mhznetworks.org/mhz-worldview/live]. KCSM explains on their website, "On Tuesday, July 15th, KCSM will change its program line up. All MHZ programming, including the International Mystery series, will be discontinued. KCSM will broadcast a mix of programming made available from American Public Television, National Educational Television Association, and other program providers."

* "Ukraine: Slovyansk Falls To Fascists, House to House Extrajudicial Executions Reported, Concentration Camps Planned" 2014-07-06 by Steven Argue: Hatred is deeply entrenched in the Ukraine's Nazis against Ukraine's Russian speaking minority who are the majority of the people in South Eastern Ukraine. Since the suspension of the ceasefire last week, which the government had repeatedly violated with mortar fire, the Ukrainian government began bombing civilian centers from war planes once again. This has killed men women and children. As of June 18th, according to report of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights, at least 356 people people had been killed in the latest military operation, including 257 civilians and 14 children. Those numbers have greatly increased since that report.
Slovyansk, formerly held by anti-fascists, has fallen to the Ukrainian government. Reports from Slovyansk residents say the Ukrainian military is going house to house and shooting people in the head who they deem to be supporters of the anti-fascists. Mykhailo Koval, the Ukraine's acting Minister of Defense, has openly been calling for a "complete filtering" of the population, a known euphemism for concentration camps.
The fate of the people of Slovyansk should be a warning to all combatants. As hard as it is to watch the collective punishment being meted out by the Kiev government, surrender will not bring peace to civilians.
It was due in part to murderous attacks from the Kiev government forces in Mariupol, with troops gunning down unarmed civilians in cold blood, that the people the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk voted overwhelmingly for self determination in May. Those attacks in Mariupol were carried out by Nazis of the Right Sector within the Ukrainian National Guard. That vote established the voter proclaimed People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk which are now under attack by the fascist Kiev government with the backing U.S. military aid.
As the U.S. government sends military aid to the fascist government, the narrative in the west is a complete lie. In fact, last week, a spokes person for the Obama administration and the U.S. State Department, Marie Helf, claimed that the UN reports of 110,000 refugees fleeing the terror of the Ukrainian government could be just people going to Russia to "visit their grandmothers".
In the narratives of the U.S. imperialists, everything is the fault of Russia. Missing is the fact that the U.S. sponsored the overthrow of the elected government of Ukraine in February. Missing is the fact that the ruling junta of that coup that the U.S. brought to power contains open Nazis in key leadership posts. Missing is the fact that those government ministers are members of a Nazi party that calls for execution, without trial, of Russian speaking intellectuals and the revocation of citizenship for Ukraine's Russian speaking minority. Missing is the fact that that the Ukrainian government was unable to send out its regular military against the anti-fascist revolution in South Eastern Ukraine because the regular military largely joined the anti-fascist revolt when they were told to attack the people. Missing is the fact that the Ukrainian government then formed the National Guard composed of Nazi paramilitaries to carry out its genocidal war against the people of South Eastern Ukraine. No, none of this matters to parrots of the western corporate media and the U.S. State Department. To them, the antifascist revolt should be put down and everything is Russia's fault. Reminds me of when southern segregationists blamed race mixing on communists.
Here is a protest we did here in Santa Cruz, CA, at Congressman Sam Farr's Office Demanding:
- End Illegal U.S. Support to the U.S. Sponsored Fascist Junta in Kiev!
- Blackwater (now renamed Academi) Mercenaries Out of Ukraine!
- End U.S. and EU Sanctions against Russia!
- End the NATO Military Build-up in the Region!

Poster of Svoboda, an openly Nazi party that is one of three closely knit right wing parties that took power in the U.S. sponsored coup on February 22, 2014. Svoboda holds the portfolio of many government posts in the post-coup junta. This poster, reminiscent of Nazi posters against Jews, says, "Remember! Swearing turns you into a Moskal". Moskal is an ethnic slur that means "Russian". Open Nazi units who hate Ukrain's Russian minority are now part of the Ukrainian National Guard and are carrying out ethnic cleansing in South Eastern Ukraine, murdering hundreds and driving nearly half a million people from their homes.
Sebastian Hahn was shocked to learn his activities were on tap via a database controlled by the NSA. Today we begin to get the names of specific targets, via Germany. What has been obtained is part of the source code for the NSA X-KEYSCORE program, and names of targets have been extracted from the NSA database. Thanks, John ;) [http://cryptome.org/2014/07/nsa-tor-de.htm]
By protecting your privacy online, you become a target for the NSA. Source code from the NSA spying program reveals that you can also become a target by reading Linux Journal. [https://indyradio.info/content/nsa-targets-extracted-x-keyscore-source-code-and-revealed]
A public broadcaster in Germany released NSA source code. It reveals targets, which include readers of Linux Journal and users of TOR and TAILS. Notes in the source code call the targets extremists. “During the course of the investigation, it was further discovered that an additional computer system run by Jacob Appelbaum for his volunteer work with helping to run part of the Tor network was targeted by the NSA. Moreover, all members of this team are Tor users and appear to be have been targets of the mass surveillance described in the investigation.” (drawing, arstechnica.com) [http://daserste.ndr.de/panorama/aktuell/nsa230_page-1.html]

Argument against "full disclosure" presented here is fatally flawed, especially in the example cited. There's no excuse for compromising the security of my desktop so the NSA and CIA can conduct a failed fishing trip in Iran. The US Government wants to jail former CIA agent Jeffrey Sterling because of his complaints about that operation, and for their treatment of minorities and whistleblowers. Consider that the authors make their living providing services for banksters. Enough said. Photo of government script kiddies trying to hack my server from a hidden location in Idaho Falls.
