A group of Romanians protested the use of cyanide in gold mining operations in Romania. For several hours on a brisk spring day, they gathered in front of mine company investor John Paulson, hedge fund manager, investor, and held up banners and passed out flyers.
The protest was part of a larger international movement against the Romanian government’s controversial decision to allow a Canadian firm to build Europe’s largest opencast gold mine.
Environmentalists and activists are warning that the mine, if opened, would lead to the destruction of four mountain peaks and three villages. Terrible as that would be, their greatest fear is the planned use of cyanide, a highly toxic substance, that is required for the mining process—12,000 tons of it each year.
The fear is well grounded in recent history. In 2000, a cyanide spill near the town of Baia Mare, Romania, occurred when a dam containing toxic mining waste burst, releasing 100 tons of cyanide-contaminated waste water into the Lapus, the Somes, as well as the Tisza and Danube rivers.
Considered the worst environmental disaster since the Chernobyl nuclear leak in 1986, the poisoning of the river Tisza resulted in the destruction of the river's entire ecosystem in a matter of days, everything from microbes to otters, according to the BBC.

Montreal, march 15th 2015: The annual march against police brutality ended in a kettle after the outnumbering police force swarmed the protesters.
In a small field in the village of Albion, California (population 398), more than 2,000 crosses form a silent and powerful protest against the war in Iraq.
The back story: Last November, some local residents awoke before dawn and hammered these crosses into state property alongside the heavily traveled Highway 1.
Within hours, the crosses were removed by Highway Patrol officers and California Department of Transportation employees.
The crosses were recovered, and a landowner recently gave the protesters permission to install them on private property.
Current US casualties in Iraq now exceed 2100, with 11 US military personnel killed last Thursday alone.
A secret Pentagon study says 80 percent of Marine casualties could have been prevented with better body armor.
Posted with gratitude to the men and women who have served, are serving, and will serve in this nightmare. They should be home.

Black Lives Matter Los Angeles led a Mass Justice Rally that began in front of the CNN building in Los Angeles and continued to 24 Hour fitness where Albert "Ramon" Dorsey was murdered naked and unarmed in the locker room after 24 hour fitness employees called the police. This is the second time a Black man has been murdered by police inside a 24 hour fitness.
The peaceful protest moved further down Sunset to Walgreen's at the corner of Sunset and Vine where Jonathan Hart "Sky Young" was murdered by an armed guard of Walgreen's. The guard stood over the body and watched him die offering no emergency assistance.
There has been no investigation in either case and no charges filed by the Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey.
The Los Angeles Police Department is the most murderous police department in the Country, if not the world.
This protest took place in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida June 5th and 6th 2005. Although the protest was inspired by George W. Bush attending the OAS meeting taking place in South Florida, the protesters had many different agendas; some of the protesters were even there in support of Bush.
The Organization of American States (OAS), or, as it is known in the three other official languages, (OEA), is an international organization, headquartered in Washington, D.C., United States of America. Its members are the thirty-five independent states of the Americas.
The notion of closer hemispheric union in the American continent was first put forward by Simón BolÃvar ("The Liberator") who, at the 1826 Congress of Panama, proposed creating a league of American republics, with a common military, a mutual defense pact, and a supranational parliamentary assembly. This meeting was attended by representatives of Gran Colombia (comprising the modern-day nations of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela), Peru, the United Provinces of Central America, and Mexico, but the grandly titled "Treaty of Union, League, and Perpetual Confederation" was ultimately only ratified by Gran Colombia. BolÃvar's dream soon foundered with civil war in Gran Colombia, the disintegration of Central America, and the emergence of national rather than continental outlooks in the newly independent American republics.
Protests and riots sprung up across the U.S. this week following the death of George Floyd, a black man suffocated by a police officer during an arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Monday.
Around 7 p.m., a protest began in Oklahoma City at the intersection of NW 23rd & Classen. Chants of "NO JUSTICE. NO PEACE." filled the air as hundreds of protesters circled the road to block traffic. Dozens of police officers arrived. Arrests were made. I took as many photos as I could.
Much of the early portion of the protest was peaceful. I couldn't see anyone fighting until police arrived to clear the intersection. Around 9 p.m., protesters started marching toward toward the Plaza District and eventually marched to the Oklahoma City Police Department Headquarters, 700 Colcord, and eventually dispersed from the area at about midnight.
