This just in, people not inside the USA allowed to watch national news broadcast. Greenpeace filed and unofficial complain with the National News Broadcast Commission this morning stating and I quote "They're allowing outsiders to recieve our broadcasts...and we think that bites".
This reporter is awaiting the results of the secret, closed door session of the commission who are meeting on their emergency, scheduled, last Tusday of the month session...more to follow

You are true heroes! I wish i could have been there. Thanks for giving my most hated corporation a kick in the pants!
In Solidarity,
peace and love from a fellow Texas activist
Reporting from a scene...news today seems to be dwindling as interest in the groups activities is not as exciting as they would have hoped. While yes, there are few outsiders interested, the vast majority of the news footage seems to be making it's way to the cable channels and Fox networks for comedy related usage.
It's hard to say right now how todays events will effect the future, this reporter not on the scene would guess though, that if you take the wheels off your home, will it still fly with traction in a Tornado??? Only time will tell

"This was a peaceful, typical Greenpeace demonstration high on publicity, very short on facts," ExxonMobil spokesman Tom Cirigliano said. "The fact is ExxonMobil is one of the leading companies in the world in developing new technologies to reduce greenhouse gases. We are the world's largest energy company, we are an easy fundraising target for organizations like Greenpeace."
Irving police rounded protesters up and were processing them, Cirigliano said. It was a relatively minor demonstration and operations inside the building were not affected, he said. Most employees had already arrived at work and others were told to wait until protesters were arrested, Cirigliano said.
Posted by: Live in Irving at May 27, 2003 12:25 PM"While 109 nations have signed the Kyoto Protocol to fight global warming, ExxonMobil has done all it can to ensure the United States sits on the sidelines," Moore said. "We will leave only when the company agrees to stop sabotaging international action on global warming. Meanwhile, everyone can help by refusing to buy gas from ExxonMobil."
Actually, Irving Police escorted them away, Exxon agreed to nothing...
In other news, Exxon stock up 1.5% today...just something to thing about
Posted by: at May 27, 2003 12:27 PMThis just handed me...from the South Meditteranian Sea, a spokesmen held an impromptu conference today from a dinghy off the coast of Iberia, when asked his position on the news agency claims that Greenpeace took backwards steps today as a reult of their failed protest of Exxon in Texas, the spokesmen responded "I wet my daidy..." This reporter really, did not have a response to that...

Now what do you try to get at? That you should have the right to use up this Earth for your own benefit - not caring about the few billions of others that can't? Go on, go on... keep on thinking that everybody should love America... because of people like you... go on...
This action surely made my day! Three cheers for all of you involved!
