A Daily Mail journalist is trolling my friends

Pride's Purge

(not satire – it’s the UK press!)

UK tabloid journalists are (mostly) a bunch of scum.

You only need to know about the Milly Dowler case and all the other recent cases involving them to know that.

And freelance journalist Sonia Poulton – who writes mainly for the Daily Mail and the Daily Express – is no exception.

Poulton and her partner Lee Ryan, along with a handful of her colleagues, have been threatening me with libel and even threats of violence since I wrote these blogposts nearly two years ago:

Daily Mail hack boasts about being able to ‘trace’ personal phone numbers of Twitter users

Mail hack threatens to sue me for asking how she traced Twitter users’ personal information

This is what you get when you dare to question a tabloid journalist in the UK

These threats have mostly been just water off a duck’s back to me.

Rosebud Sioux Tribe: House Vote in Favor of the Keystone XL Pipeline an Act of War

In response to Friday’s vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to authorize the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, the Rosebud Sioux Tribal president announced that the Rosebud Sioux Tribe (Sicangu Lakota Oyate) recognizes the authorization of the this pipeline as an

“act of war.”

The Tribe has done its part to remain peaceful in its dealing with the United States in this matter, in spite of the fact that the Rosebud Sioux Tribe has yet to be properly consulted on the project, which would cross through tribal land, and the concerns brought to the Department of Interior and to the Department of State have yet to be addressed.

“THE HOUSE HAS NOW SIGNED OUR DEATH WARRANTS AND THE DEATH WARRANTS OF OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. THE ROSEBUD SIOUX TRIBE WILL NOT ALLOW THIS PIPELINE THROUGH OUR LANDS,” SAID PRESIDENT CYRIL SCOTT OF THE ROSEBUD SIOUX TRIBE.

“We are outraged at the lack of intergovernmental cooperation. We are a sovereign nation and we are not being treated as such. We will close our reservation borders to Keystone XL. Authorizing Keystone XL is an act of war against our people.”

One Of Two Men Shot And Killed By Deputies Was Holding A BB Gun, Says Family: LAist

Being Brown can be lethal with LASC on the loose. They might be able to justify one but not the other. Will unfortunately  be forgotten too soon.

Two men were shot and killed by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies early Sunday morning when authorities say one of the suspects exited their vehicle carrying what appeared to be a handgun. However, family members say it was all a tragic misunderstanding.

San Cristóbal de las Casas – On Friday, the caravans of parents and students from the Rural Normal School of Ayotzinapa arrived in Chiapas and Chihuahua to report what is happening regarding the  43 disappeared students. Aboard four buses, parents and student departed yesterday from Tixtla, Guerrero, bound for destinations in the south and north of the country.

These cities were the first stops on their way to the Zócalo in Mexico City, where they will meet on November 20 [marks start of Mexican Revolution, 1910] to demand from the government of President Enrique Peña Nieto the safe return of the normal school students.

In the South: Chiapas
