Maxie’s fall

-‘I settled down to spend the long day crying.’–

Maxie narrating

I woke with a throbbing headache. It was day, but still dark and gloomy. A bullet or bit of metal had grazed my left arm, causing a cut, that’s all. If it had passed a bit deeper, they told me later, I’d have bled to death. And I didn’t even know I’d been hit! Continue reading “Serial of The Free. Ch37 Maxie’s Fall. Ch38 Macker’s Goats”

Marie Mason: still jailed to boost Criminal Corporations

Marie’s lawyer sues FBI for refusal to release FOIA records

Attorney Claims USA Chills Rights of Environmentalists
By RYAN ABBOTT

WASHINGTON (CN) – An attorney whose client is serving 22 years for destroying private property claims the FBI denied her FOIA request, to cover up the government’s “Green Scare” program, meant to chill the speech rights of environmental activists.

New York City attorney Susan Tipograph sued the Department of Justice in Federal Court, seeking records on her client, imprisoned activist Marie Mason.

“The draconian sentencing of Marie Mason to nearly 22 years in federal prison has undoubtedly chilled the free speech practices of other animal rights and environmental activists,” Tipograph says in the complaint. Continue reading “Marie Mason: still jailed to boost Criminal Corporations”

Getting to the root of the problem in Madagascar

Madagascar is one of the world’s top biodiversity hotspots, with approximately 4% of the Earth’s plant and animal species living there – within just 0.4% of the planet’s surface.

Additionally, it’s one of the top three countries most vulnerable to the effects of climate change through factors including unsustainable agricultural practices. Continue reading “Making Magical Moringa sprout in Madagascar”
