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.
This was taken at a protest I went to today. Rather than focus on the event as a whole, I decided to look at the individual protesters.

So many people want this to stop. So many people are scared of what will happen if they speak out. So many people think that the side-effects of the chemicals are their illness.
Can't even sue the doctor when the forced medication puts you in a coma, give you diabetes, gives you Tardive Dyskinesia, causes depression, causes chronic fatigue.
Sue? Just change the law that forces people to take drugs that harm them. Give people a choice over their medical treatment.

Press Release – ItsOurFuture.org.nz
The lead-up to Saturdays protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government cant ignore, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.Nationwide day of action against TPPA: “Ignore us at your peril” government warned
“The lead-up to Saturday’s protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government can’t ignore”, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.
A video shows young activists publicising Saturday’s nationwide protests with footage from Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, and Nelson.
Action in the 22 centres starts at 10am in Raglan and many of the larger centre marches begin at 1pm, including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
“People have been incredibly creative”, Miller said. “In Christchurch a giant plain-packaged cigarette packet will be marching in the crowd, while Auckland will be led by an enormous Trojan Horse, locked in a tug-of-war between major commercial interests and activist communities.”
“Around the country everyday kiwis will be photographed for a virtual campaign with signs saying ‘I am a ___________ and I say #TPPANoDeal.’ Already this campaign has been very popular.”
“Trade minister Tim Groser needs to recognise that people don’t buy the ‘trust me’ line. They want to be listened to when they say they don’t want the TPPA. And they deserve to be listened to.”

A really disturbing look at the "other side" of the Vietnam war, the side that we never get to see in the West. Includes sections on the use of "Agent Orange" by the US forces as well as some really disturbing photographs of atrocities that were perpetrated during this war by the "liberating forces". Provides a balanced view of this horrific war. In one section it provides evidence of the massive protest by American citizens against this war. After going through this museum I was actually amazed at how friendly the people of Vietnam are when dealing with people from the West considering that they do not know if we are American or not. It is more obvious now that this was a "politicians" war, like most wars are. This museum actually brought tears to my eyes, something I am not normally prone to. Despite what has been portrayed in Hollywood, there was no glory in this war.
