Hehehe duke, I believe in good can spread. No matter how little action it is you do to spread it.. As cheesey as this is going to sound, I used to leave money in soda machines or vending machines with a little note that said " Always remember an Angel is always watching over you, Spread the love" and to my suprise 2 months later I go to take my change out from the soda machine and there was a 100$ bill that said " in my time of need an angel touched my life, And Now I am touching yours, Spread the love".... I still have this note.
I took that 100$ and gave it to a man sitting on the side of the roading holding a sign "Looking for work" this man cried said god bless and then showed me apicture of his children...
There's always faith to be had in humanity, sometimes it just takes someone to step forward and spread it

Black unity has served African Americans well – until now, when the enemy has a Black face. Suddenly, our tried-and-true instincts betray us and our political cognition collapses. Obama’s many crimes fail to register in Black brains. African Americans “filter out any and all information that might shatter the illusion that Obama is all that stands between Black folks and the Devil, himself.”

Perhaps there they'll even mention rogue States like the U.S., Israel... I'm just guessing. Besides the article mentioned in brief with its source up there, here's an article that looks at the scene with a bit more detail...
A Strange Place
The South Gathers in Tehran
by VIJAY PRASHAD
Tomorrow, perhaps, the future.
– W. H. Auden.
"Next week, representatives from one hundred and eighteen of the world’s one hundred and ninety two states will gather in Tehran, Iran for the 16th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit. Created in 1961, the NAM was a crucial platform for the Third World Project (whose history I detail in The Darker Nations). It was formed to purge the majority of the world from the toxic Cold War and from the mal-development pushed by the World Bank. After two decades of useful institution-building, the NAM was suffocated by the enforced debt crisis of the 1980s. It has since gasped along. In the corners of the NAM meetings, delegates mutter about the arrogance of the North, particularly the US, whose track record over the past few decades has been pretty abysmal. Reagan’s dismissal of the problems of the South at the 1981 Cancún Summit on the North-South Dialogue still raises eyebrows, and Bush’s cowboy sensibility still earns a few chuckles. But apart from these cheap thrills, little of value comes out of the NAM. Until the last decade there have been few attempts to create an ideological and institutional alternative to neoliberalism or to unipolar imperialism.
With the arrival of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) in the past few years, the mood has lifted. The much more assertive presence of the BRICS inside the NAM and in the United Nations has raised hopes that US and European intransigence will no longer determine the destiny of the world. At the 14th NAM summit in Cuba (2006), the world seemed lighter. Chávez’s jokes went down well; Castro was greeted as a titan. This seemed like the old days, or at least Delhi in 1983..."

Court decides confessed killer was not psychotic when he went on rampage in Oslo and Utøya island that left 77 people dead.Oslo district court declares Anders Behring Breivik sane and sentences him to at least 21 years jail for killing 77 people Link to this video
Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian far-right extremist, has been sentenced to at least 21 years in prison after a court declared he was sane throughout his murderous rampage last year that killed 77 people and wounded 242.
The Oslo district court declared its verdict that the 33-year-old was not psychotic while carrying out the twin attacks, including the shooting of dozens of teenagers attending a political camp.
The court's decision will have delighted Breivik, who had hoped to avoid what he called the humiliation of being dismissed as a madman.
The mass killer had desperately hoped the court would find him criminally culpable for the killings, claiming they were "cruel and necessary" to protect Norway from becoming overrun by Muslims.
After two months of deliberations, the five-judge panel said they considered the perpetrator of last year's gun and bomb attacks, the worst in the country's history, mentally fit enough to be held criminally responsible for the attacks.
As the verdict was delivered to a packed, hushed courtroom, Breivik, dressed in a black suit, white shirt and grey tie, smirked.

Anonymous And The War Over The Internet.Duke wrote:TrapWire/Abraxas/Ntrepid/Cubic/Tartan:
the knowns, unknowns and two scenarios.…
Researchers – Barrett Brown, Asher Wolf, Justin Ferguson as well as investigators from Darker Net – have been contemporaneously looking into the links between TrapWire, Abraxas, Ntrepid, Cubic Corporation and (more recently) Tartan from different directions, but have come to more or less the same conclusion: that not all these links are about financial ownership, though there is a perceivable web that connects these companies via personal contacts at senior level and an implied sharing of knowledge and expertise. Below is a summary of what is known to date about the linkages that Darker Net has found, as well as two scenarios on how knowledge-sharing between these organisations might work in practice (or otherwise).
Scenario One
Given the personnel links between the companies listed above it is not inconceivable that there is a sharing of knowledge and expertise. Moreover, there may well be informal data sharing between the companies. There have been no denials from any of these companies that this is not true. On this basis, we present the following scenarios:
A group of four political protesters in Oakland, California, are preparing for a demonstration. One of them – call him Bill – reports to the FBI via private surveillance company, Densus. Bill is keen to implicate the rest of the group in an action that could get them arrested: he provides equipment and other materials and keeps his contacts in the FBI in the loop. Individuals in the group have been using Facebook and Twitter and other social networking channels to communicate with each other about the demonstration but are unaware of Bill’s plans. Their postings and messages are captured and fed into a database run by Tartan, which then passes on what has been analysed to TrapWire. Each individual is identified by Tartan as a ‘node’ who forms part of this particular group, which in turn, via individuals within that group, are connected to other groups in Oakland and to groups elsewhere. Two of the individuals with the Oakland group still use a nyms email from Anonymiser and their messages are also captured, then passed on to the Trapwire Net database. CCTV cameras are monitoring their movements and, again, this footage is fed into the TrapWire database, which uses facial recognition technology to confirm who they are. Their transportation movement on the Oakland transit system is also recorded via their Cubic owned smart cards. All this information is then compiled and analysed further before being passed on to the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative, the National Clandestine Service, local Fusion Centre and the FBI (which then updates their mole, Bill, in the Oakland group). On the way to the demonstration, the four individuals (including the FBI agent provocateur) are stopped and in the boot of the vehicle they are travelling in is found incriminating evidence: the four are arrested and charged with conspiracy (though the FBI agent is later released and he disappears into a new identity).
Scenario Two
In the same city, another four protesters are getting ready to join the demonstration. One of them is new to the group, but has been ‘vetted’ by the others and they are satisfied he can be trusted. Each member has either refrained from referring to their political interests on Twitter or Facebook or has a dummy account for this purpose. When using computers they use Tor and a VPN to disguise who they are. They do not use phones to communicate their political interests either. On the day of the demonstration they travel to it by taxi, which they have booked via a phone booth. They pay for the taxi ride by cash. On arrival at the demonstration they don masks. They take part in the demonstration but avoid arrest. They return home the same way they came. They were further helped in their avoidance of arrest by the downing of CCTV cameras, hacked by the local Anonymous group.

Note: the above two scenarios could apply to any city in the world where TrapWire and/or Cubic and/or Tartan, or their respective equivalents, and Government surveillance agencies with similar technologies, are in place – New York, London,
Sydney, Moscow, etc…
If an Activist shall be Active... I advise you follow scenario number two. -
