Exxon Crimes

I drive by the exxonmobil headquarters on my way to work each morning. I arrived on the scene at aproximately 8:30, after the police were there as well. However, I did arrive before the barracaded the area completely. I did get to see the vans, up close, and personal, and a few of our friends on the curb near the gates. Everyone I think accomplished the goal of being heard hear, nice work.

Depuis que Georges W. Bush a rompu avec les accords de Kioto, nous assistons à une politique sécuritaire internationnale au nom de la lutte contre le terrorisme. Lutte dont personne n'ose penser qu'elle est fabriquée de toute pièce par les dirigeants internationaux afin de démonter tous les efforts de paix que les différentes ONG arrivaient à mettre en place par la promotion de la notion de citoyeneté à travers le monde, citoyenneté écologique mais aussi économique face à l'ultra-libéralisme sauvage que prônent ces mêmes dirigeants.

J'ai mal, j'ai mal ... Ckristofer [...] J'ai mal !!'!

Since George W Bush broke with the agreements of Kioto, we assist with a sedentary policy internationnale in the name of the fight against terrorism. Fight nobody dares to think that it is manufactured of any part by the international leaders in order to dismount all the efforts of peace that the various ONG managed to set up by the promotion of the concept of citizenship throughout the world, ecological but as economic citizenship vis-a-vis wild ultra-liberalism as these same leaders preach.

I have badly, I have badly... Ckristofer [...] I have badly !!'!

I am not going to comment on someone who is firing against our GMO campaign on a page dedicated to the Exxon campaign. If you cannot find the GMO pages (and discussions)... how do you think you can find your way in the GMO discussion content...?

But... the Linux remark was interesting. Just for your info. I work in the Czech Republic for Greenpeace and have tried to make the swap...

unfortunately, a mid-90s Thinkpad will not run smoothly on any of the Linux-set-ups i have used so far, that is if you want to use a graphic interface (and maybe contrary to you, i believe that non-geek campaigners are entitled to that bit of comfort)... unless they happen to be very high grade mid-90 (so: over 330 MHz, 128... that was mid-90 very high grade!). GP in the Phillipines already made the change to Linux. Here in Prague i am still waiting until a funding-fairy will help us with the necessary upgrades from 32 and the odd 64 to 128 - luckily enough most of the machines here are faster than 100 MHz... most of them, not all.

Besides that, exactly the US office was one of the first to set many of their lap-tops to Linux... In fact, i think that GP is one of the leading organisations in this. BUT... remember that these machines are to be run by non-techy, non-geek very active activists... and Linux does still put a challenge for those people sometimes - unfortunately...

cau from Prague!

Ha, I admire Jan's restraint in not noting that the "Tide is turning against Greenpeace" article about GE above is three years old, and that Greenpeace WON the court case against Melchett and the other Greenpeacers who pulled up a GE crop: to widespread celebration in the UK.

The court found they were legitimately acting in defense of the environment, and the EU continues to resist GMO crops:
