B. D. S. (Jackson 5) Chicago Flashmob

Chicago Activists Mark Palestinian Land Day with Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Flash-Mob

On March 30th at 5 pm, a group of social justice activists held a "flash-mob" in downtown Chicago. The demonstration was organized as one of hundreds of demonstrations held around the world to mark the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions Global Day of Action, an annual event designed to call attention to the movement to boycott the apartheid policies of Israel. Demonstrators performed a choreographed dance to an original song called "BDS," a parody of "ABC" by the Jackson Five. Video of the flash mob is available here:

"In the lyrics to our song, we sing 'apartheid and ethnic cleansing go on in Palestine every day, but without the help of you and your money, the occupation will go away.' While the struggle to end Israel's apartheid policies is not an easy one, it's true that we in the United States can support justice and peace by refusing to support companies and institutions that support Israel and its occupation of Palestine," said Joy Ellison, an activist with Palestine Solidarity Group-Chicago (PSG-Chicago). "We hope that this flash mob empowers our community to stand up against apartheid and challenges Chicago businesses and institutions that are actively supporting the oppression of the Palestinian people."

Before this performance at "The Bean," the flash mob was held outside of Chicago Cultural Center, home of the Chicago Sister Cities International office. For the last two years, activists with PSG-Chicago have pressured the city of Chicago to end its relationship with its Israeli sister city, Petach Tikva. Petach Tikva, an officially segregated city, is the first Jewish-only settlement in historic Palestine and the site of the primary detention center where Israeli forces abuse and torture Palestinian political prisoners. Human Rights group Amnesty International dubbed Petach Tikva "Israel's Guantanamo."

Residents of the North-East of the country have been ordered to evacuate to higher ground - the region is still in tatters following the deadly tsunami of last month.

'War for Libyan oil planned long ago, no one cares about people'

April 4th, 2011

Russia Today

Susan Lindauer, a journalist and author of Extreme Prejudice: The Terrifying Story of the Patriot Act and the Cover Ups of 9/11 and Iraq, specializes in American interventions, and has never believed the allied forces intervened in Libya out of humanitarian reasons. It is a war for oil which was prepared long ago, Lindauer argues - anyone who cared about the Libyan people would stop immediately.

12,000 tons of radioactive water from Fukushima to flush into ocean

April 4th, 2011

Russia Today

Tokyo has announced plans to dump nearly 12,000 tonnes of radioactive water from the Fukushima plant into the ocean. A spokesman for the crippled facility said it's necessary to free up storage space for more highly contaminated water, but insisted the waste wouldn't cause serious harm. Japanese officials predict months of leaks from the Fukushima power plant as workers struggle to plug a damaged reactor. Radiation levels in seawater and groundwater surrounding the site have reached many thousand times the legal limit. Last month's massive earthquake and tsunami has now claimed the lives of 12 thousand people, with some 15,000 still missing.

RADIATION REACHING THE U.S. FROM THE FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

March 28th, 2011

Allenushkaa

Are you concerned about radiation from Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant reaching the U.S.? A Ukrainian girl who lived just 40 miles from Chernobyl is sharing her insights and observations about the nuclear accident aftermath. Please don't be fooled by any reports stating that radiation levels in the U.S. are not harmful. The girl is explaining the difference between natural background radiation and dangerous human made radiation coming from nuclear power plants, nuclear bombs, x-rays, ct scans, etc. Even minuscule amounts of this dangerous radiation is harmful to humans and eventually leads to cancer, premature aging and other health problems. Radiation emitted from crippled nuclear reactors is not just limited to the vicinity of that reactor. It is distributed for thousands of miles with the wind, and the emissions from Fukushima are not over yet. Protect your health. Be informed about negative health effects caused by ANY level of ionizing radiation.
