Egypt in Turmoil
"Mubarak viewed President Bush as naive, controlled by subordinates, and totally unprepared for dealing with post-Saddam Iraq, especially the rise of Iran's regional influence," US ambassador says.
Mubarak was right. However, government suppression of free media and open-source information is the characteristic of a cruel dictatorship. Kifaya, meaning "enough" in Arabic, is a coalition of activists from different political backgrounds. It includes leftists, nationalists and Islamists and its aim is to discontinue Mubarak's authoritative reign.
In Cairo, more than 1,000 riot police prevented about 300 protesters from approaching the Supreme Court. In the southern city of Luxor, more than 1,000 people are said to have taken part in the protest.
President Mubarak, under US pressure through political reform, said in an interview that he has not decided whether to step down.
Unbeknownst to typical North Americans, we sit comfortably in our homes as mass violence and public riots erupt throughout Egypt.
Pay your respects. Pay attention.

Subpeona
Wake up.
As an individual, if you have trouble believing in a world where your privacy is compromised for internal investigations (criminal or not), then clearly you know very little about the 21st century in which you live. Have you deleted all your recent Facebook messages? How much of "you" is floating around out there online? What about emails and recurring passwords? Banking info, mailing addresses and more....
BE AWARE: all of this, all of you is haphazardly pouring itself out into the internet and much of it -- if not, all of it -- is not necessarily safe in the hands of law and governance.
Government subpoenas
Abuse of power towards Wikileaks, Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and the recent subpeona issued to Twitter are only but a few concrete examples of this. Learn our lesson.

Calgary, take note....
Dear Indie kids,
Dear dudes with beards,
Dear scenesters in plaid,
Dear metal heads, hardcore kids and punk rockers,
What's "scene" isn't scene.
You're just another individual who likes the same shit as everybody else.

Corporate Cave-ins
Welcome to dystopia, folks.
Due to unjustified threats delivered by US Administration, many financial aid and multiple host sites have now pulled their services out from under WikiLeaks' just cause. Although the US claims the recent leaks to be illegal, there has yet to be one cable proven to threaten their national security. Corporations such as Visa, Amazon, Paypal and Mastercard are many of the misinformed. See link below for a timeline published by the Guardian (UK).

No Love, No Care
When asked in November about the number of elephants claimed by freight trains this past 2010 year, Minister for Environment and Forests, Jairam Ramesh said the government of Assam has recorded a total of only four deaths.
This comes after 7 elephants were killed in September 2010 alone where two baby elephants strayed onto the tracks as five elders followed behind in hopes of guiding them to safety (see photo above).
How many incidents such as these are organizations and/or governments failing to report? And why are the number of deaths being underreported?
On whether any speed limit would be fixed on the movement of trains along the elephant corridor, Mr. Ramesh said it was not possible to implement speed limits in the entire 160 km stretch of railway tract from Siliguri to Alipurduar. However, the Ministry of Railways have introduced a speed limit of 50 km per hour in two vulnerable sections falling in Mahananda and Chapramari wildlife sactuaries.
