I just want to take this time to say...
Fuck you Bashar Al-Assad. Enta Khanzeer.
You are no better than the dog shit I accidentally step on. You talk shit about what Israel is doing, but you are implementing the same oppressive policies. Whatever your fate may be, you will be joined by war criminals from around the world, from Bush to Sharon.
May the people of a Free Syria have the last word, that of victory.

People who compare abortion to slavery or the Holocaust don't realize how incredibly shitty that is.
They appropriate the struggles of other groups while at the same time belittle those struggles. It comes off as racist and ignorant and reveals a great deal of unchecked privilege.
Seriously. If you compare abortion to slavery or consider abortion the current genocide, you’re racist, insensitive, ignorant, and just oblivious of your privilege. You don’t give a fuck about oppressed groups of the past or present. You don’t even care about your friends or family. You care about controlling someone else’s body because for some reason, your life just isn’t interesting enough. You just have to butt into someone else’s.
And while we’re on this topic, don’t even feign concern for women with issues like sex-selective abortions. If you actually care about social issues like sexism, you wouldn’t be “pro-life.” You wouldn’t be trying to ban abortions for anyone who needs one (because women aren’t the only people who can get pregnant). You’d be attacking the root of that problem, which is institutionalized and internalized sexism. But you’re not going to do that. Why?
Because your concern over sex-selective abortions, slavery, and genocide is a disguise. You don’t actually care about anyone except yourself and your sick little love affair with someone else’s embryo. -

Serbian president denies Srebrenica genocideNewly elected Tomislav Nikolic says ‘grave war crimes’ by Serbs took place but not genocide, angering Bosnian leadership
Serbia’s new president has denied genocide took place in Srebrencia, contradicting the international criminal prosecution of Serbian leaders from the Yugoslav wars and angering the Muslim co-president of Bosnia.
Tomislav Nikolic, the rightwinger elected as Serbian president last month, said on Montenegrin television: “There was no genocide in Srebrenica. In Srebrenica, grave war crimes were committed by some Serbs who should be found, prosecuted and punished.
“It is very difficult to indict someone and prove before a court that an event qualifies as genocide.”
The former Serbian general Ratko Mladic is on trial in The Hague accused of genocide in Srebrenica. Bosnian Serb forces under his command slaughtered around 8,000 Muslim men and boys after capturing the town, which had been declared a safe haven by the United Nations, towards the end of Bosnia’s 1992-95 war. It was Europe’s worst atrocity since the second world war.
The Bosnian Serbs’ wartime political leader, Radovan Karadzic, is also on trial in The Hague accused of genocide.Bakir Izetbegovic, who shares Bosnia’s presidency with a Croat and a Serb, said Nikolic’s comments were insulting to the survivors. “The denial of genocide in Srebrenica … will not pave the way for co-operation and reconciliation in the region, but on the contrary may cause fresh misunderstandings and tensions.
“By giving such statements Nikolic has clearly demonstrated that he is still not ready to face the truth about the events that took place in our recent past.”
Nikolic said he would not attend the annual commemoration of theSrebrenica massacre in July. “Don’t always ask the Serbian president if he is going to Srebrenica,” he said. “My predecessor was there and paid tribute. Why should every president do the same?”
Both the international criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the international court of justice (ICJ) have ruled that the Srebrenica massacre amounted to genocide.

Fight The New World Order with Global Non Compliance (Full Version)
(por aodscarecrow)
Understand your enemy, and understand the weapons they use. Then use those same weapons against them. The money system is the head of the snake. Cut the head off the snake and the rest of it will whither and die. There need be No violence, no guns, no banners, no slogans, no group think, just a united act of global non compliance.
Remember that it is much easier to fight for principles than to live up to them and it takes a far braver man to stand up for what is right and spit in the face of authority than it does to blindly follow orders due to fear of the consequences. Understand that we are all one and the key to real change and unity in this world lies with love.
It is time for the people of the world to stop and realise that the divisions that supposedly exist amongst us are an illusion. There IS NO division and its time for everyone to understand the truth of this.
It is through the constantly promoted illusion of division that the system is able to function but in order for it to do so, it needs public compliance.
Stop complying with it and you will shut it down.
Its time for us all to collectively stand together and address the root cause of the problems.
Everyone.

Important- Human Rights Abuses
TW: military doing horrible things, human rights abuses, forced labor, systematic rape, child labor, extrajudicial killings, political prisoners, massive displacement, attempted genocide, discrimination against the Kachin
Moon Nay Li is risking her life to document the human rights abuses being waged by the military of the Southeast Asian country of Burma against an ethnic minority called the Kachin. A Kachin herself, Moon Nay Li has seen Burma’s military systematically rape, torture, and murder to “clear the land” for big corporations to harvest the rich natural resources of her homeland.
Despite these horrors, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just announced that American corporations can join the frenzy in Burma — the U.S. is suspending economic sanctions on Burma that had previously blocked American companies from doing business there.
Moon Nay Li is terrified that allowing American companies into Burma will motivate the military to commit further atrocities to clear more land — that’s why Moon Nay Li started a petition on Change.org asking Secretary Clinton to impose safeguards to make sure that no American business is financing rape, torture, and murder in Burma.

Moon Nay Li says that suspending economic sanctions on Burma without protections for Burma’s people is tantamount to a death order for her people.
“These development projects that come into Northern Burma to harvest our natural resources lead directly to rape, torture, and murder,” Moon Nay Li says. “The Burmese military think they can rape ethnic women with impunity. And unless people like Hillary Clinton take action, nothing will change.”
Last year, Saudi Arabian women started a petition on Change.org asking Secretary Clinton to fight for their right to drive, and she came through — she even credited their petition for her change of heart. Moon believes that if thousands of people sign her petition, Secretary Clinton will take action to make sure that innocent people in Burma aren’t sacrificed just so American companies can make more money.

This is more serious than it may appear because it involves brainwashing children to be willing to commit mass murder against people who don’t believe their way at the direction of a religious authority figure, and to recruit other children to do the same. Once adults, these little “soldiers for Jesus” may become the perfect cultist army for the American Empire culling the population of “unbelievers.” Leaving believers who blindly follow religious authorities who work on behalf of the ultra rich. Let’s not let that happen shall we?
