In an international perspective, the Korean War marked the beginning of the Cold War and the initial stage in global U.S. hegemony. The heavy U.S. involvement in the origins of international adoption and an early interest in Asian children can in other words be interpreted as an…

Join the Impact presented an Occupy Chicago teach-in Saturday, sharing information about how Occupy can become more inclusive of LGBT people and the way that the struggle for gay rights complements Occupy’s overall goals.
Twenty-two people attended the event, Out of the Closets into the Occupation, held at Occupy Chicago’s indoor headquarters at 500 W. Cermak in a loft space. The panelists...

Yesterday, the Justice Policy Institute (JPI) released areport chronicling the political strategies of private prison companies “working to make money through harsh policies and longer sentences.” The report’s authors note that while the total number of people in prison increased less than 16 percent, the number of people held in private federal and state facilities increased by 120 and 33...
Shallow Green Resistance: "The Hope Here"

I’m not picking on frustrated-teenage-anarchist with this post. I’m simply sharing the quote he posted. My frustration is directed at its author and not him. Got it.
So. Here’s what Premadasi Amada, Deep Green Resistance organizer, has to say:

An hour after Occupy DC protesters organized a rally outside Freddie Mac’s offices in downtown Washington, DC yesterday on behalf of a Maryland resident facing eviction, the mortgage giant announced that it had developed plan to keep her in her home.

fuckyeahmarxismleninism:
PARIS (AP) — Twenty-five suspected members of the loose-knit Anonymous hacker movement have been arrested in a sweep across Europe and South America, Interpol, the global police agency, said on Tuesday.
The arrests, in Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Spain were carried out by national law-enforcement officers working under the support of Interpol’s Latin American Working...

sydnormonster:
It seems difficult in our current milieu to have a thorough investigation of Western, particularly American, politics without any encounter of the issue of LGBT rights. I cannot help but understand this through queer theory and Durkheim’s analysis of the sacred and profane. Two sides seemingly dominate the discussion: on the right a refusal to endorse such profane behavior...
How to Chain VPNs for Complete Anonymity →
Big name individual hackers and hacker groups everywhere in the news are getting caught and thrown in jail. Everytime I see something like this happen, I won’t lie, I get a little sad. Then I wonder, how are these guys getting caught? If a group like LulzSec, with all the fame and “1337-ness” can get caught, I think my hacker comrades are doing something wrong.
When members of LulzSec started...
How to Permanently Delete Files to Protect Privacy... →
anticapitalist:
Permanently deleting files is something that a lot of people aren’t aware of. Actually, most people think that once a file is deleted, it is gone forever. This is not the case. Hard drives write to the disk via magnetic charges, positive and negative correlate to 1s and 0s for binary. This is then interpreted into information for the computer to use and access.
When you delete...

Quoted from here
But it was the events of 9/11 and the subsequent “war on terrorism” that elevated the stature of the firm [Stratfor], turning it into a highly sought after informant for major Western media organizations like Bloomberg, Associated Press, Reuters, The New York Times, and the BBC.
Furthermore, many of the internal documents forwarded around are from Western or...

In Los Angeles, mass stops of young African American men and boys resulted in the creation of a database containing the names, addresses, and other biographical information of the overwhelming majority of young black men in the entire city.

tartantambourine:
This is the most surprising story of the day:
Over the past several weeks, Republicans have watched squeamishly as presidential contender Rick Santorum has waded into multiple controversies that risk alienating half the 2012 electorate: women. But in fact, Santorum has grown more popular among women while talking about his opposition to abortion, his disapproval of birth...
People like Tim Wise are a blessing and a curse.
sinidentidades:
I won’t even try and dismiss the idea that some of what Tim Wise has said is really problematic, but that’s for another conversation. White people like Tim Wise are both important and dangerous. They’re important in the sense that white people won’t listen to PoCs when it comes to the concepts of whiteness and white privilege.
Of course, that says something even more sinister...
