Terrorism Unveiled: Spread the Blessings of Liberty to the Lebanese And that is when I realized: it was never about the number of people who showed up on the days of the demonstration, or the placards and slogans, or the music and the speeches. Lebanese opposition protester shouts anti-Syrian slogans during a demonstration in Beirut Martyrs square, Lebanon, Monday March 14, 2005. Nasrallah, I am sorry to say that your logic doesn’t make sense, and will not pass mustard this time, neither with the Lebanese people (even those that you have dragged to the streets today), nor with the international community. www.terrorismunveiled.com /athena/2005/03/spread_the_bles.html   (1157 words)

Balder Blog » The anti-immigration Danish People’s Party jumps ahead in the polls The Danish TV2 channel reported in their 18:00 news, that the demonstration was arranged by Dansk Front, a more radical group based in Aarhus, which was complete bullshit, and they had to retract that statement in their next bulletin. Danish redfascists and others who might be planning to disturb this lawful demonstration are asked to consult the writings of one of their own Godfathers, the left wing intellectual Nils Bredsdorff before taking action. The Danish People’s Party goes from a total of 11 % of the Danish vote during the latest elections to 17.8 % if elections were to be held today, according to a poll by the Ramboell institute. blog.balder.org /?p=27   (1921 words)

Russia: Summary of Anarchist Mayday actions Anarchist news dot org Luckily, there was no enough evidence to charge people of "vandalism" (felony of up to 3 years), people were given irrelevant misdemeanors of "participating to an illegal demonstration" or "organizing an illegal demonstration" and released the same evening. After demonstration, anarchists went to grave of Nestor Kalandarishivili, a legendary partisan and anarchist of the civil war era, where both Chicago and Siberian anarchists of the past were commemorated. But eventually those in the back of the demonstration (anarchists and other "more radical" youthful groups) were not let to the Palace Square in front of the Winter Palace. anarchistnews.org /?q=node/61   (1921 words)

CHALLENGE -- APRIL 7, 1999 Kazan was being recognized for snitching on people who once belonged to the Communist party or anyone involved with the CP. Kazan sold out many people--naming names of former communists and sympathizers in Hollywood to the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1952. At the meeting called to evaluate the rally, two Party members and several others defended the action against the fascists, which was very sharply attacked by the leaders of the demonstration's security. www.plp.org /cd99/cd0407.html   (1921 words)

Workers World April 1, 1999: "Don't stand for Kazan" The fact that "Millions for Mumia" activists took part in the anti-Kazan demonstration is a clear indication that a new era of a militant, independent fight back against all forms of right-wing repression is bubbling to the surface. Kazan ratted on eight people who he identified as being CP members in the 1930s. One positive aspect of this controversy is that many young people who have never heard about the McCarthyite witch hunts are asking about this period in U.S. history and about its devastating impact on the unions and progressive political movements. www.workers.org /ww/1999/kazan0104.php   (1921 words)

Designing a Prescribed Fire Demonstration Area For a demonstration area to have a lasting educational impact, it should be visible to a large number of people. A prescribed fire demonstration area makes it much easier for local citizens to understand why natural areas are burned, how prescribed fires are managed, and how quickly the vegetation in a burned area regenerates ( Figure 1). Although demonstrations are most common in agriculture, they are also used in home landscaping, forestry, soil and water conservation, rural development, and other areas of extension expertise. edis.ifas.ufl.edu /FR060   (1921 words)

The Slovak Spectator - Slovakia's English Language Newspaper Although the original focus of the demonstration had been to demand a referendum on direct Presidential election, the new bill convinced the opposition to turn the March 25 meeting into a massive protest against changes to the election law. For many protesters, the demonstration was a chance to show their anger with four years of government under Premier Vladimír Meèiar. Over 30,000 people gathered on Bratislava's Námestie SNP in freezing weather on March 25 to promote a petition demanding a fair election law and direct Presidential elections. www.slovakspectator.sk /clanok_tlac.asp?cl=6787&rub=spect_news   (1921 words)

October 6-7, 2002 National Reports As people chose the sign they wanted to hold, we handed out a short list of "Demonstration Guidelines” particularly emphasizing that this was a peaceful demonstration, that we would not react to any negative comments from drivers (there were very few), and that there were people in armbands to help and provide information if needed. A hearty group of about 30 people held up through it all to stand in a circle on the bandstand to speak the pledge together, followed by a moment of silence in which to visualize the world of peace we were pledging to make real. They were reporting on people like "Nurses for Peace" (yup, I am one of those pesky Nurses with a political viewpoint) and Medical Students etc etc. Here in Minneapolis, a number of us in the Peace and Social Justice have been involved in calling the local media on their reporting. www.notinourname.net /reports/2002_oct6/oct6natl.htm   (6832 words)

Nevis Secession's White Paper: The Nevis Island Administration Historical Perspective and Proposals for Secession. In 1961 approximately four thousands persons assembled at Grove Park, Charlestown in a demonstration sponsored by the United National Movement urging that Nevis secede from St. Kitts.(3) at that demonstration a resolution was moved by the people of Nevis to separate from St.Kitts. The Concern Citizens Movement refused any arrangement for a coalition holding fast to its conviction that neither the people of Nevis nor the people of St.Kitts should be subjected to a political arrangement which does not permit each island to have full responsibility for its own affairs. The Peoples Action Movement and the Nevis Reformation party continued their historical partnership and formed a coalition government subsequent to 1993 general elections. www.swagga.com /nevis.htm   (3628 words)

NewsFactor Network - Science & Innovation - Data Blasts Across Atlantic in Super-Speed Test The demonstration was part of an ongoing international effort to find and test new ways of reliably moving massive data sets around the globe using advanced networks and new transfer protocols. "We just finished our initial testing and analysis of the UDT protocol and found that with it, you can transfer large data sets over very busy international production networks safely," said Cees de Laat, an information technology professor at the University of Amsterdam who visited UIC for the demonstration. Using today's standard Internet protocol, the same data transfer would have taken 25 days, because over long distances, the common TCP network protocol is ineffective at moving large data sets. www.newsfactor.com /perl/story/22606.html   (796 words)

Renegade Article 2867 "I think there is a lot of fear of that by the administration," said Jessica Sundin, one of the organizers, who had a dozen people at her office at the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador on Wednesday, making signs for the demonstration.

Business Wire: Nielsen Media Research to Begin People Meter Measurement in Local Markets; Boston Selected As `Demonstration Market'; Nine Additional Markets Could be Metered in Three Years Electronic People Meters, which are used by Nielsen Media Research for nationwide audience measurement in the United States, provide demographic ratings data for the seven broadcast networks, 50 cable networks and hundreds of national syndicators. We are targeting to start releasing limited data from the people meter sample next year, while still maintaining the existing set-meter and diary samples as the primary measurements. Boston, an existing metered market with more than 400 sample households, would serve as a demonstration market where three different measurements could be evaluated by customers. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1999_Dec_8/ai_58079694   (1439 words)

Nielsen: It's a go for the people meter The new People Meter system has been in operation simultaneously with the old system since late April, in a demonstration meant to give local TV stations and media agencies a heads-up. Perhaps the biggest benefit of the People Meter for advertisers is that media buyers will be able to precisely compare the audience reached by a TV schedule with the audience that they had intended to reach. But while buyers may welcome the People Meter, there's still considerable trepidation about the switchover, and that is coming mostly from local stations, which realize that the more accurate results will benefit cable stations at their expense. www.medialifemagazine.com /news2001/oct01/oct01/5_fri/news1friday.html   (902 words)

What, is only the Weapon Inspection of Belgium could guaranty the weapons are not being used in manslaughter The Belgian Government had exported weapons to Nepal neglecting the massive demonstration of the Belgian people and violating its own law, which states that the arms should not be exported to any of the civil war-torn country or in purpose of using into internal conflicts.

THE CHECHEN TIMES Andreas Gross in particular, in all stratagems of imitation of representation of the Chechen Resistance at the «round table» is demonstration of immorality of approaches of a number of the so-called international democratic institutions to the horrifying tragedy of the Chechen people.
