Join us this summer.From August 20th – September 3rd we’re planning a peaceful protest in Washington DC to defuse the largest carbon bomb in North America.
With people power and time-tested tactics of civil disobedience – join thousands of people from across the continent in a wave of sustained sit-ins. Together we’ll amplify our voices and escalate the movement and stop the Keystone XL pipeline to the Canadian tar sands
Tim DeChristopher, 29, the courageous activist who posed as an oil industry bidder to monkeywrench an oil and gas lease sale in Utah, was sentenced this afternoon to two years in prison. “Mr. DeChristopher had many other lawful ways to express his disapproval with the oil and gas leasing process,” said U.S. District Court Judge Dee Benson at the hearing.
But of course Tim’s disapproval, and that of millions of others, has not been heard by tone deaf policymakers content to wish away the reality of our role in climate change instead of acting.
Tim faced a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, and he was also was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine. He was not given the ability to take a few days to prepare himself for prison and was taken into custody immediately.
“Civil disobedience can’t be the order of the day,” the judge said, adding that it would lead to “chaos.” Well, I predict that the judge’s prognostication will be wrong. We’ll see when the next civil disobedience over our failed energy policy happens, and that may be in August at the Tar Sands sit in Washington D.C. Over 1,400 people have registered to get arrested to show their contempt for the Keystone XL pipeline, a 1,700 mile long fuse to the world’s biggest carbon bomb–Canada’s tar sands
Known as ‘Bidder 70’ to his supporters, DeChristopher was compared to Gandhi and Rosa Parks by his lawyer.

The health effects caused by air pollution may include difficulty in breathing, wheezing, coughing and aggravation of existing respiratory and cardiac conditions. These effects can result in increased medication use, increased doctor or emergency room visits, more hospital admissions and premature death. The human health effects of poor air quality are far reaching, but principally affect the body’s respiratory system and the cardiovascular system. Individual reactions to air pollutants depend on the type of pollutant a person is exposed to, the degree of exposure, the individual’s health status and genetics.
A new economic study of the health impacts and associated costs of air pollution in the Los Angeles Basin and San Joaquin Valley of Southern California shows that more than 3800 people die prematurely (approximately 14 years earlier than normal) each year because air pollution levels violate federal standards. The number of annual premature deaths is considerably higher than the fatalities related to auto collisions in the same area, which average fewer than 2,000 per year.[19]
Diesel exhaust (DE) is a major contributor to combustion derived particulate matter air pollution. In several human experimental studies, using a well validated exposure chamber setup, DE has been linked to acute vascular dysfunction and increased thrombus formation.[20][21] This serves as a plausible mechanistic link between the previously described association between particulate matter air pollution and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

In the first quarter of 2011, BP made a profit of $5.5bn.
BP has sold $25bn worth of assets – partly to pay for the clean-up operation in the Gulf.
The oil firm’s chief executive, Bob Dudley has been criticised by some greedy immoral investors for failing to increase production.
In May BP abandoned a proposed deal with Russian’s Rosneft to exploit oil reserves in the Arctic.
“Other companies have clearly re-defined their strategies over the last 12 to 24 months,” said Dougie Youngson a criminal oil analyst at Arbuthnot.
Exxonmobil continues to build it’s shale gas business in the US, wantonly destroying the biosphere and Shell is focussed on mega gas projects. What is BP doing?”
Rich fat investors have also suggested that the share price has not recovered sufficiently from the Gulf spill.
In a few years, as climate chaos takes hold, executives and investors from these oil companies will be spurned and pilloried, and jailed as mass killers and climate criminals.

3 yrs jail.. 3 a por resistir la NanoTechLos tres están acusados de un intento de ataque en el centro de investigación en nanotecnología de IBM en Rüschlikon, que por entonces aún se encontraba en construcción. Deben responder a las acusaciones de actos intencionales de preparación para un incendio, ocultación y transporte de materiales explosivos no autorizados.
Luego de permanecer mas de un año en prisión, con transferencias, restricciones y censura postal, el aparato represivo estatal tratará de dar un nuevo golpe a lxs tres compañerxs, acusadxs de: actos preparatorios de un incendio intencional contra un centro de investigación de nanotecnología IBM en construcción, ocultación y transporte de material explosivo y trafico no autorizado de explosivos.
Esta maniobra represiva no sólo apunta a golpear a lxs compañerxs investigadxs, sino que también será dirigida a todxs aquellxs que rechazan el actual estado de cosas, que sienten la urgente necesidad de atacar y subvertir el orden existente, considerando la acción directa como un paso fundamental en el camino de la lucha por la libertad en contra de la sociedad actual.Un guión que ya se vivió hace varios años, cuando llegan a Marco Camenisch, pensando en intimidar su oposición a la energía nuclear. Un golpe vacío, ya que
Marco, a pesar de su encarcelamiento, nunca se inclinó y sigue luchando, animado por el espíritu revolucionario y rebelde!
Hoy, con este ataque, piensan que pueden aplastar la lucha contra las nuevas tecnologías (biotecnología, nanotecnología), una lucha que en Suiza no era aún muy a
ctiva, pero que después de la detención de lxs tres compañerxs se está radicalizando y ramificando con luchas de crítica social.En nuestra opinión, el deseo de subvertir lo existente, es el indicio que anima a la solidaridad con Billy, Costa y Silvia, por esto llamamos a la movilización para asistir al proceso, reiterando que cualquier ataque a unx compañerx es un ataque hacia todxs aquellxs que luchan fervientemente por la libertad contra Estado y capitalismo!
Presencia en el salón y fuera, para estar al lado de Billy, Costa y Silva. Para no dejar que la solidaridad se convierta en una palabra estéril, sino más bien para garantizar ánimo en nuestros ojos y en nuestros actos.
Esos ojos que brillan ante la idea de libertad y se llenan de sangre y rabia al pensar en todxs lxs compañerxs que el Estado arrancó de la lucha y aquellos actos que nos hacen tener aún a nuestro lado a lxs compañerxs rehenes del enemigo.
¡LIBERTAD PARA BILLY, COSTA Y SILVIA!
¡LIBERTAD PARA MARCO CAMENISCH!

Tens of thousands of people have moved to shelters from areas in and beyond the no-go zone around the plant, including from a wider 30-kilometre zone where people were first told to stay indoors and later urged to leave. Higher levels of radiation have been detected in the newly designated locations, raising fears that residents’ accumulated exposure may exceed 20 millisieverts per year – the government’s limit for evacuation.
Since the March 11 disaster, Japan has raised the legal exposure limit for people, including children, from one to 20 millisieverts per year – matching the 
safety standard for nuclear industry workers in many countries. Environmental groups and critics have slammed the government for the rule change and say the current evacuation zone around the plant is not wide enough and does not account for the irregular pattern of radiation exposure…..
On Tuesday, the government banned shipments of Fukushima beef, four months after the March 11 quake and tsunami sparked reactor meltdowns at the nuclear plant. Municipalities, including areas in Tokyo, have said that the affected meat has already been used in school lunches and sold at stores. The central government has banned shipment of certain vegetables, tea, milk and seafood from Fukushima and areas beyond including tea grown south of Tokyo. (SeedDaily…)
Fukushima residents’ urine now radioactive More than 3 millisieverts of radiation has been measured in the urine of 15 Fukushima residents of the village of Iitate and the town of Kawamata, confirming internal radiation exposure. Both are about 30 to 40 km from the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, which has been releasing radioactive material into the environment since the week of March 11, when the quake and tsunami caused core meltdowns. “This won’t be a problem if they don’t eat vegetables or other products….

Recently I discovered that a CO2 -free fuel for internal combustion engines already exists and would be cheaper and less dangerous than petroleum products. 
how this technology works… as time is of the essence, doubling up my time when such a simple explanation probably already exists to enable understanding by everyday people (who do not hold chemical/mechanical engineering degrees) would see your page, and this technology, greater general public awareness.
All I can do here is reprint the Wikipedia article.
Ammonia was used during World War II to power buses in Belgium, and in engine and solar energy applications prior to 1900. Liquid ammonia was used as the fuel of the rocket airplane, the X-15. Although not as powerful as other fuels, it left no soot in the reusable rocket engine and its density approximately matches the density of the oxidizer, liquid oxygen, which simplified the aircraft’s design.
Ammonia has been proposed as a practical alternative to fossil fuel for internal combustion engines.[39] The calorific value of ammonia is 22.5 MJ/kg (9690 BTU/lb) which is about half that of diesel. In a normal engine, in which the water vapour is not condensed, the calorific value of ammonia will be about 21% less than this figure. It can be used in existing engines with only minor modifications to carburettors/injectors.
To meet these demands, significant capital would be required to increase present production levels. Although the second most produced chemical, the scale of ammonia production is a small fraction of world petroleum usage. It could be manufactured from renewable energy sources, as well as coal or nuclear power. It is however significantly less efficient than batteries.[citation needed] The 60 MW Rjukan dam in Telemark, Norway produced ammonia via electrolysis of water for many years from 1913 producing fertilizer for much of Europe. If produced from coal, the CO2 can be readily sequestered [39][40] (the combustion products are nitrogen and water). In 1981 a Canadian company converted a 1981 Chevrolet Impala to operate using ammonia as fuel.[41][42]
Ammonia engines or ammonia motors, using ammonia as a working fluid, have been proposed and occasionally used.[43] The principle is similar to that used in a fireless locomotive, but with ammonia as the working fluid, instead of steam or compressed air. Ammonia engines were used experimentally in the 19th century by Goldsworthy Gurney in the UK and in streetcars in New Orleans in the USA.

Check out new photos and prison art from Marie on her supporters website HEREMarie Mason is a loving mother of two and a long-time activist in the environmental and labor movements.
In March 2008, she was arrested by federal authorities for charges related to two acts of property destruction that occurred in 1999 and 2000; no one was injured in either of them.
She accepted a plea bargain and was sentenced on February 5, 2009 to just under 22 years. She is now serving the longest sentence of any “Green Scare” prisoner.
The “Green Scare” is the name given to the recent arrests of animal rights and environmental activists who 
have been charged with acts of economic sabotage.
Federal authorities have sought outrageous sentences (often Life in prison) and have publicly and legally labeled the activists as “terrorists” – despite the fact that no one has been killed or injured in any of the acts.
