By SAMANTHA ROLLINS

Masha Alyokhina and Nadya Tolokonnikova, the two recently freed members of Russian punk group Pussy Riot, made their first talk show appearance on last night's episode of The Colbert Report. Speaking through a translator, the two gamely joked with Colbert about Vladimir Putin, and their time in jail. When Colbert teased that Alyokhina and Tolokonnikova would be searched before leaving the building, Tolokonnikova didn't miss a beat: "We've had two years of practice hiding things from searches," she said (...)

FORENSICS REVEAL THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MURDER IN COLD BLOOD OF STUDENT ALEXANDROS GREGOROPOULOS

DECEMBER RIOTS CLIP from DIMITRI VORRIS on Vimeo.

Footage from my feature film "DECEMBER RIOTS" about the murder of 15 year-old student Alexandros Gregoropoulos by two policemen and the riots that followed his execution on December 6, 2008 just a few blocks away from my office.. Unarmed, and not dangerous, Alexandros was murdered by two policemen while sitting at a downtown cafe. In cold blood..... Gregropoulos, the innocent victim of police brutality, became an instant martyr for his generation.

MATT TAIBI: ANOTHER BATCH OF WALL STREET VILLAINS FREED ON TECHNICALITY DURING THANKSGIVING

I love covering trials, which is one reason I've been a little sad since switching over to the Wall Street beat: Few of the bad guys in this world ever even get interviewed by the authorities, much less indicted, so trials are comically rare.
But we did have one last year, a big one, and though it was boring and jargon-laden enough on the surface that at least one juror fought sleep in its opening days, I thought it was fascinating. In a story about the Justice Department's Spring 2012 prosecution of a wide-raging municipal bond bid-rigging case, I called it the "first trial of the modern American mafia":
"Of course, you won't hear about the recent financial corruption case, United States of America v. Carollo, Goldberg and Grimm, called anything like that . . . But this just completed trial in downtown New York . . . allowed federal prosecutors to make public for the first time the astonishing inner workings of the reigning American crime syndicate, which now operates not out of Little Italy and Las Vegas, but out of Wall Street."
Dominick Carollo, Steven Goldberg and Peter Grimm were mid-level players who worked for GE Capital. They were involved in a wide-ranging scheme (one that also involved most of America's biggest banks, from Chase to BOA to Wachovia) to skim billions of dollars from America's cities and towns by rigging the auctions banks set up to help towns earn the highest returns on the management of municipal bond issues.

"LEVIATHAN" DOC TRAILER FROM HARVARD SENSORY ETHNOGRAPHIC LAB




I'm not the religious type, but the Harvard Sensory Ethnographic Lab has restored my faith…in cinema, at least. The team responsible for the likes of "Sweetgrass," "Foreign Parts" and this year's mesmerizing festival offering "Manakamana" truly forged new ground with "Leviathan," an expressonistic look at life onboard (and slightly off-board) a fishing boat in Massachusetts. Though they claim not to call themselves filmmakers, directors Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Verena Paravel have certainly made a movie unlike anything preceding it (...)

AN ELEPHANT CALLED KEFALONIA




This elephant was inspired by the Ionian island of Kefalonia and its turquoise sea. 

Elephant Parade’s open air art exhibitions create worldwide attention, public awareness and support for the cause of elephant conservation: the Elephant Parade statues never go unnoticed by the wider public and mass media.
Elephant Parade is a social enterprise with a unique combination of art, business and conservation. The better the art, the higher the value of the Elephant Parade statue at auction: the life size baby elephant statues are exhibited in well-known cities and auctioned off at prestigious gala events. Smaller size hand painted limited edition replicas and other Elephant Parade merchandise are created based on the exposition elephants and sold at better stores around the world, in Elephant Parade Gallery Stores and via the Elephant Parade webshop. 
The Asian Elephant Foundation auction/sell the statues and hence the foundation can support various projects. In addition to the sale of exhibition Elephant Parade elephants, 20% of Elephant Parade net profit is also distributed to The Asian Elephant Foundation. This generates a steady stream of ongoing income for the foundation. 
The Asian Elephant Foundation distributes monies raised to various projects and organizations in the 13 Asian range countries, solely dedicated to the wellbeing and conservation of the Asian Elephant. In addition to this, The Asian Elephant Foundation plays an active role in awareness and educational projects around the world.

EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT: FREE TAREK LOUBANI AND JOHN GREYSON

On Friday August 16th, Tarek Loubani, a Canadian emergency physician and John Greyson, a Canadian filmmaker and professor were arrested by Egyptian authorities. Tarek and John were on their way to Gaza --  where Tarek was to work at Al Shifa Hospital, and John to explore the possibility of making a film about the work.
Days later, Tarek and John are still being held in Cairo's Tora prison.Egyptian officials have given no clear reason for their arrest.  In fact, a recent press release by a Cairo district prosecution states that 9 foreigners, including John and Tarek, will be detained for 15 days, pending investigations.  Egypt is going through a turbulent time, and after hundreds were killed in violent clashes last week, foreigners, particularly journalists are being targeted. We need to get our friends out of there.
On Sunday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on Egyptian authorities to "release all evidence" against Tarek and John, but we believe it will take ongoing public outcry in order to force the Canadian and Egyptian Governments to find a resolution and secure their freedom.
Family and friends are worried sick about their safety. Pressure from the Canadian government is our best hope. We must pressure our government to demand their freedom and pressure the Egyptian authorities to let them go.  Thank you for your action on this urgent matter!

Here's how you can help:
1. Please sign the petition below. An automatic email will be sent to Prime Minister Harper, Minister of Foreign Affairs John Baird and the Egyptian Embassy in Ottawa.
2. Please phone and email your MP by searching your postal code here. We strongly encourage you to include a personal message, especially if you know Tarek or John personally or professionally.
3. If you're on Twitter, please use the hashtag #FreeTarekandJohn and tweet your elected officials.
4. Join this Facebook group or check out http://tarekandjohn.com for updates on their whereabouts and how you can help.
5. Please help us flood the phonelines for the Egyptian embassy in Ottawa, the Egyptian consulate in Montreal as well as John Baird and Stephen Harper.

Mounir Fakhry Abdel Nour, Minister of Industry and Trade, Government of Egypt
Hisham Zaazou, Minister of Tourism, Government of Egypt
Ziad Bahaa ElDin, Deputy Prime Minister of Egypt 
We, the undersigned, ask the Government of Egypt to release Canadians Tarek Loubani, MD, and John Greyson, filmmaker, who were arrested in Egypt on August 16th. As well, we ask the Canadian Government to continue to work with the Egyptian Embassy and officials in Egypt to ensure their safety and immediate release.

Dr. Loubani is an emergency physician at the University of Western Ontario (UWO) and a member of Canadian Doctors for Refugee Care. He has worked extensively to provide volunteer medical care in conflict situations internationally and for refugees in Canada. Award-winning Toronto filmaker, writer, and educator, John Greyson, is a Professor at York University in the Department of Film.

Dr. Loubani and Professor Greyson were travelling to the Gaza Strip, where they are working on an international academic and medical collaboration between the University of Western Ontario and the main hospital in the Gaza Strip, the al-Shifa hospital. They arrived in Egypt on August 15th, and were held up from crossing into Gaza due to the conflict in Egypt. On the afternoon of Friday, August 16th, their contact in Canada received a call from Dr. Loubani, stating that: "we are being arrested by Egyptian police." Their whereabouts have been unknown since, and colleagues and family are extremely worried for their safety.

Conditions in Egypt are extremely dangerous with accounts of widespread military and police violence. According to Amensty International “unprecedented levels of violence have left more than 600 dead in Egypt”, further Amnesty also notes a “pattern of excessive and unwarranted lethal force used by the Egyptian authorities since the 25 January revolution”. More than 4,000 people have been injured in recent days.

Our thoughts are with the many people in Egypt who have been arrested, beaten and killed.

PITSIRIKOS: Η "ΚΑΛΗ" ΚΑΙ Η "ΚΑΚΗ" ΧΡΥΣΗ ΑΥΓΗ, Ο ΡΟΛΟΣ ΤΩΝ ΜΝΗΜΟΝΙΑΚΩΝ ΜΜΕ ΚΑΙ ΗΟΙΚΟΝΟΜΙΚΗ ΕΞΑΘΛΙΩΣΗ ΤΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ (ΕΠΙΣΤΟΛΗ ΑΝΑΓΝΩΣΤΗ)

Τόσα πολλά σύννεφα από τα οποία ξαφνικά όλοι πέφτουν, δε δικαιολογούνται κι ας είναι φθινόπωρο! Αυτό το θέατρο του παραλόγου έχει καταντήσει αηδία. Μα για πόσο καθυστερημένους μας περνάνε; Επί τουλάχιστον ενάμισι χρόνο η συμμορία των ΜΜΕ έδινε βήμα σε μια όχι απλά ναζιστική, αλλά απροκάλυπτα παρακρατική παραστρατιωτική οργάνωση και:
- Της έχτιζαν φιλολαϊκό και δήθεν αντισυστημικό προφίλ με κατασκευασμένα «ρεπορτάζ» και συνεντεύξεις (αντί να ψάξουν με τη μέθοδο «follow the money» να βρουν τους εφοπλιστικούς και παραθρησκευτικούς κύκλους που τους χρηματοδοτούν).
- Κάνανε μόκο για κάθε καραμπινάτη παρανομία τους, από πλημμελήματα μέχρι βαριά κακουργήματα, πολλά εκ των οποίων με μπάτσους παραδίπλα να κοιτάνε αμέτοχοι.
- Έκρυβαν τη συμμετοχή τους με πολιτικά δίπλα στα ΜΑΤ στην καταστολή κάθε διαδήλωσης.
- Το βούλωναν για τα αποτελέσματα στα εκλογικά τμήματα των αστυνομικών που τους έδιναν ακόμη και 50% ποσοστά.
- Σιωπούσαν για τη δράση τους στα σχολειά μας, και τόσα άλλα που ξαφνικά «ανακαλύπτουν», ο κατάλογος δεν έχει τέλος…
Και από προχθές, βλέπουμε σε όλα αυτά τα βολεμένα πουλημένα πιόνια που ξεφτιλίζουν κάθε έννοια ρεπορτάζ και δημοσιογραφίας, στροφή 180 μοιρών!
Μα δε ντρέπεστε λιγάκι; Νομίζετε μπορεί να κρυφτεί το πόσο ελεεινά (δεν) κάνατε τόσο καιρό τη δουλειά σας; Νομίζετε ότι είμαστε όλοι λοβοτομημένοι από την ανέχεια και τη δυστυχία και δε βλέπουμε τη γραμμή που έπεσε άνωθεν;
Ότι δηλαδή έφτασε η ώρα να χωρίσετε τη Χρυσή Ομελέτα σε «καλή» και «κακή» (όπως με τις ιερές σας τράπεζες), να μαντρώσετε πίσω στη μαμά ΝΔ τους μισούς και να συνεργαστείτε με τους άλλους «σοβαρούς» μισούς, μπας και σώσετε τα μνημόνια και τα τομάρια σας;
Και παράλληλα, μέσα στο ντόρο να περάσετε και καμιά ντουζίνα μέτρα, που με το προηγούμενο σκηνικό ογκούμενης δυσαρέσκειας (απεργίες, διαδηλώσεις κλπ.) δύσκολα θα περνάγατε;
Α, και μην ξεχάσω: να ετοιμάσετε και καμιά καλή προβοκάτσια τύπου Marfin (αλήθεια, αυτή η πάντα αποτελεσματική αστυνομία απέναντι σε κάθε είδους αντιεξουσιαστικούς πυρήνες, πώς και δεν έχει συλλάβει τόσα χρόνια τους συγκεκριμένους εγκληματίες;
Μήπως ξεκάθαρα πρόκειται για παρακρατικούς προβοκάτορες και τους κρύβουνε;).
Όχι τίποτα άλλο, γιατί αυτά τα άπλυτα αναρχοκομμούνια δείχνουν ώριμα και συγκρατημένα, δε μοιάζουν μετά τον άνανδρο χαμό του Φύσσα να πατάνε την πεπονόφλουδα της αγανάκτησης και της ρεβάνς.
Άρα, μια καλή προβοκάτσια θα χρειαστεί, μπας και μαζί με κάποιους αποδιοπομπαίους ναζήδες – στυμμένες λεμονόκουπες (τους λοιπούς θα τους ενσωματώσετε όπως τους Βοριδογεωργιάδηδες) ξεμπερδέψετε ταυτόχρονα και με αυτούς τους περίεργους «ακραίους» στα γαλατικά χωριά της Χαλκιδικής και όλους όσους – όπου αλλού – τολμάνε να επιμένουν και να σηκώνουν κεφάλι…
(Δε νομίζω ότι θέλει πολύ μυαλό για να δει κανείς τα παραπάνω, το θέμα είναι τι αντανακλαστικά θα δείξει η αντιπολίτευση σε όλα αυτά τα θλιβερά σενάρια που εξυφαίνονται…)
(Αγαπητέ φίλε, δεν μας περνάνε για καθυστερημένους. Είμαστε καθυστερημένοι. Αντανακλαστικά πρέπει να δείξουν πρώτα οι πολίτες. Η αντιπολίτευση θα ακολουθήσει. Να είστε καλά.)
