    I just heard that the commitment to trial of Roberto Ferrario, as unique responsible for Bellaciao collective!!??, for the publication, as any website or blog could have done it, of a press statement from CGT related to the Shipyards of St Nazaire story, is notified by the Judge. This repressive action, obvious example of a will to control expression in the Net, is the symptom of increasing and very pernicious politic inflexibility, such as the (…)

    Kenneth Lay alive? Maybe Why else would a judge clear his record, columnist asks. G. Jeffrey Aaron October 22, 2006
    I sometimes hear that Elvis Presley isn’t really dead, a notion supported by the alleged sightings of "The King" at various shopping malls around the United States.
    I’ve heard the same thing about Tupac Shakur, the rap star who died in a hail of gunfire in Las Vegas 10 years ago. No one claims to have seen Tupac at a shopping mall. But the amount of music and the two (…)

    Years from now, Lynne F. Stewart’s name will be spoken of with even greater reverence than it is today. On October 17, this courageous and redoubtable soft-spoken civil rights defense lawyer was vindicated in the same Foley Square New York federal courtroom where Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were unjustly framed, convicted and sentenced to death in April, 1951 in an act of state-sponsored vengeance for the (…)
