PLEASE SUPPORT JAMES RISEN.

We Support James Risen Because We Support a Free Press.  Share this action on Facebook  Share this action on Twitter Please join with Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg to take action now for freedom of the press. He teamed up with us to launch an urgent petition -- at this crucial time for the First Amendment. To join with Ellsberg in signing the petition, click here. The U.S. government is threatening to jail New York Timesreporter James Risen if he doesn't reveal a confidential source. Risen, who covers "national security," says he won’t capitulate. Now you can let this journalist and top government officials know that you’re in solidarity with his brave stand for a free press. Sign the petition "We Support James Risen Because We Support a Free Press." Why is your support so important? The Freedom of the Press Foundation has called the government's effort to force Risen to reveal a source "one of the most significant press freedom cases in decades." Daniel Ellsberg says: "The pursuit of Risen is a warning to potential sources that journalists cannot promise them confidentiality for disclosing Executive Branch criminality, recklessness, deception, unconstitutional policies or lying us into war. Without protecting confidentiality, investigative journalism required for accountability and democracy will wither and disappear." Amplify our combined voices. Click here to sign the petition to President Obama and Attorney General Holder. A recent brief from the Obama administration to the nation's top court "is unflinchingly hostile to the idea of the Supreme Court creating or finding protections for journalists," Politico reported. The newspaper added that Risen "might be sent to jail or fined if he refuses to identify his sources or testify about other details of his reporting." This threat is truly ominous. As Ellsberg puts it, "We would know less than we do now about government abuses, less than we need to know to hold officials accountable and to influence policy democratically."         So much is at stake: for whistleblowers, freedom of the press and the public's right to know. And for democracy. That’s why RootsAction has joined forces with the Center for Media and Democracy, Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR), the Freedom of the Press Foundation and The Nation magazine to insist on protection for the confidentiality of journalists’ sources. Please sign the petition and share it with people you know. Thank you! -- The RootsAction.org team P.S.

Fukushima Nuclear Disaster + Arctic Ozone Hole = Massive Polar Melt

Arctic Ozone Hole & Polar Melt Triggered By The Fukushima Catastrophe

By Yoichi Shimatsu

An ozone hole opened over the Arctic Circle in March 2011, and by the next year the polar ice sheet began to melt and break apart. Expanding faster than any projections for global-warming trends, these unanticipated shocks left climatologists in benumbed silence. Only a few experts have emerged from their cubby holes with timid explanations that are inadequate to the vast scale of these geophysical events.

The post-311 polar crisis consists of two separate, and possibly interrelated, events: the thinning and loss of the ozone layer over the Arctic Circle in 2011; and the sudden melt and break-up of the ice sheet in 2012.

To get a handle on the highly technical research findings, one can start by considering which of two possible models gave rise to the Arctic mega-crisis:

That Western media frequently and blatantly distort events and disquote officials with a view to manipulating public minds is no news; however, one “news agency”, the UK-based Reuters, has in recent times been repeatedly and unabashedly breaking new grounds in this regard.

The tragic Malaysian MH17 flight crash must not be politicised and the international experts on the scene should be able to carry out their work in complete safety, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

“There are already representatives of Donetsk and Lugansk working there, as well as representatives of the emergencies ministry of Ukraine and others. But this is not enough,” Putin said officially commenting on the tragic event on Sunday.

Some Western states and Kiev rushed to find Russian involvement in the MH17 crash having no evidence to back their claims, Russia’s Deputy Defense Minister told RT. He invited Ukraine to answer 10 questions to prove their commitment to an impartial probe.

Speaking to RT, Russia’s Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov has criticized Western countries for jumping to conclusions just “24 hours after the crash” while there is no evidence.

NANO CHEMTRAILS

by William Thomas

If you did not enjoy “traditional” chemtrails raining down on you, you are not going to like the new version, which the United States Air Force promises will feature aerial dumps of programmable “smart” molecules tens of thousands of times smaller than the particles already landing people in emergency rooms with respiratory, heart and gastrointestinal complaints.

Under development since 1995, the military’s goal is to install microprocessors incorporating gigaflops computer capability into “smart particles” the size of a single molecule.

Invisible except under the magnification of powerful microscopes, these nano-size radio-controlled chips are now being made out of mono-atomic gold particles. Networked together on the ground or assembling in the air, thousands of sensors will link into a single supercomputer no larger than a grain of sand.
