NEW YORK OCCUPY ASSEMBLY AND MOSCOW OCCUPY ASSEMBLY WORKING TOGHETER, LOS OCUPADOS DE ESTADOS UNIDOS Y RUSIA TRABAJANDO UNIDOS PARA EL DESARME
Moscow and New York General Assemblies are preparing a joint statement in favor of nuclear disarmament. A symbol of a new era in history, in which people can find each other to build a better world beyond borders, beyond the fear established by governments, beyond who taught them to be be enemies.
This is the provisional statement:http://www.nycga.net/groups/antiwar/docs/draft-joint-declaration-of-occupy-moscow-and-ows-approved-by-antiwar-working-groupHere in Spanish, English and Russian:http://www.facebook.com/notes/global-comunication-of-the-indignant-comunicaci%C3%B3n-global-de-lxs-indignadxs/propuesta-de-declaraci%C3%B3n-posible-y-conjunta-entre-las-asambleas-de-mosc%C3%BA-y-nueva/349885525035456
The process is not finished yet and some may show reluctance on the road, so we want to tell them they are not alone, that the whole world looks with pride what they are doing and support them to move forward. To do this, we ask that you write an email to:
antiwarmoscowny@gmail.com showing your support and the support of your assembly in case you are part of any.Together we can go further. Together we can achieve anything. Thank you!This post is also available in: SpanishPrevious PostFailed eviction Occupy The HagueNext PostReport from Rome - 'AgoraRoma'

LA WEB DE LA CASA BLANCA ATACADA POR ANONYMOUS
Hacktivists with the collective Anonymous are waging an attack on the website for the White House after successfully breaking the sites for the Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, RIAA and Motion Picture Association of America.
In response to today’s federal raid on the file sharing service Megaupload, hackers with the online collective Anonymous have broken the websites for the Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, RIAA and Motion Picture Association of America.
“It was in retaliation for Megaupload, as was the concurrent attack on Justice.org,” Anonymous operative Barrett Brown tells RT on Thursday afternoon.
Only hours before the DoJ and Universal sites went down, news broke that Megaupload, a massive file sharing site with a reported 50 million daily users, was taken down by federal agents. Four people linked to Megaupload were arrested in New Zealand and an international crackdown led agents to serving at least 20 search warrants across the globe.
Less than an hour after the DoJ and Universal sites came down, the website for the RIAA, or Recording Industry Association of America, went offline as well.
Minutes later, MPAA.org also returned an error as Anonymous hacktivists managed to bring the website for the Motion Picture Association of America. The group, headed by former senator Chris Dodd, is an adamant supporter of both PIPA and SOPA legislation.
Universal Music Group, or UMG, is the largest record company in the United States and under its umbrella are the labels Interscope-Geffen-A&M, the Island Def Jam Motown Music Group and Mercury Records.
Brown adds that “more is coming” and Anonymous-aligned hacktivists are pursuing a joint effort with others to “damage campaign raising abilities of remaining Democrats who support SOPA.”
Although many members of Congress have just this week changed their stance on the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, the raid on Megaupload Thursday proved that the feds don’t need SOPA or its sister legislation, PIPA, in order to pose a blow to the Web.
Brown adds that operatives involved in the project will use an “experimental campaign” and search engine optimization techniques “whereby to forever saddle some of these congressmen with their record on this issue.”
TRAS LA DECISIÓN DE CIERRE DE MEGAUPLOAD ANONYMOUS TUMBA LA WEB DEL DEPARTAMENTO DE JUSTICIA Y UNIVERSAL GROUP
Shortly after a federal raid today brought down the file sharing service Megaupload, hackers aligned with the online collective Anonymous have shut down sites for the Department of Justice, Universal Music Group and the RIAA.
“It was in retaliation for Megaupload, as was the concurrent attack on Justice.org,” Anonymous operative Barrett Brown tells RT on Thursday afternoon.
Only hours before the DoJ and Universal sites went down, news broke that Megaupload, a massive file sharing site with a reported 50 million daily users, was taken down by federal agents. Four people linked to Megaupload were arrested in New Zealand and an international crackdown led agents to serving at least 20 search warrants across the globe.
Less than an hour after the DoJ and Universal sites came down, the website for the RIAA, or Recording Industry Association of America, went offline as well. With more than 1,600 members, the RIAA serves as a trade organization in the States for the industry and is the entity that declares gold- and platinum-selling records.
Universal Music Group, or UMG, is the largest record company in the United States and under its umbrella are the labels Interscope-Geffen-A&M, the Island Def Jam Motown Music Group and Mercury Records.
Brown adds that “more is coming” and Anonymous-aligned hacktivists are pursuing a joint effort with others to “damage campaign raising abilities of remaining Democrats who support SOPA.”

TORO BRAVO SALVADO POR UN FRANCÉS, BULL SAVED IN SPAIN
Palabras de los autores de este vídeo :
"Lo compré a la ganadería Domecq, y estaba destinado a ser toreado en Barcelona. Cuando les pregunté si era difícil educar a un toro me contestaron : « Si lo cuidas bien, verás que es incluso más fiel que un perro ». Esto demuestra que ellos saben bien el tipo de animal que tienen y que mandan a las corridas."
Son las palabras de Christophe Thomas, un joven granjero francés que hoy vive felizmente con Fadjen. El realizador Pablo Knudsen ha captado estas imágenes de su hermosa amistad y su vida en común, para disfrute de los amantes de los animales y antídoto contra los prejuicios extendidos por los aficionados a la tauromaquia.
