Billing Statement

I got the idea for this video after seeing Radiohead at the White River Amphitheater. They played this song and dedicated it to the WTO protest riots in Seattle.
This is less a collection of some of the worst/best moments in our century, and more, to be a pretentious douchebag, a kind of statement of hope that evil men/women will get what they deserve and that ‘the people’ will one day have their day.

There is alot of stuff that didn’t get in to this video that should have…I apoligize if the omission of this or that offends you, it was not on purpose.

I will delete any bullshit comments- i.e. ‘the holocaust is fake’ ‘mao/stalin/hitler was innocent’ blah blah blah.

The World Health Organization expressed “heightened concern” on Friday over more than 800 “influenza-like” cases reported in Mexico, after seven cases of a severe respiratory illness were confirmed in two U.S. border states.

WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl told CBC News on Friday that health officials are dealing with three separate events in Mexico, with most of the 828 cases in and around the capital, Mexico City.

At least 24 cases have been reported in the central region, while four have been reported in the north. The mystery illness has led to at least 20 deaths in the country.

Most of the cases have occurred in healthy young adults, Hartl said.

“Because these cases are not happening in the very old or the very young, which is normal with seasonal influenza, this is an unusual event and a cause for heightened concern,” Hartl said in an interview from WHO headquarters in Geneva.

It is also rare to see such high flu activity so late in the season, he said.

“The end of April, especially in a place like Mexico, you would think that we would see quite a steep decline,” said Hartl.
All classes cancelled in Mexico City

A Mexican Health Ministry statement issued on Thursday afternoon said the country “was in the presence of a new influenza virus that constitutes a respiratory epidemic which is controllable, so far.”

But laboratory tests on the 828 Mexican cases have yet to confirm the patients are suffering from influenza, or what strain it might be, Hartl said.

The Mexican government ordered that all classes in Mexico City and the surrounding state be cancelled on Friday, from pre-schools to universities. It also has warned the public to avoid gathering places and major events.

On Thursday, Canadian health officials issued a travel advisory warning travellers who have recently returned from Mexico to be on alert for flu-like symptoms that could be connected to the illness.

In the U.S., health officials were scrambling this week to deal with a new strain of swine flu, which has been diagnosed in seven people in Texas and California.

The states share a border with Mexico not far from a town where two deaths were reported.

The U.S. cases are unusual, because it appears none of the patients had contact with pigs, and the virus is one that health officials have never seen before.

No cases of this swine flu have been found in Canada.
Samples positive for influenza A and B

The cause of the illness has not been confirmed. Mexican health officials said samples so far have tested positive for influenza A and B.

People infected with the virus initially suffer flu-like symptoms that include: * Fever. * Cough. * Sore throat. * Muscle and joint pain. * Shortness of breath.

The illness may elevate to a severe respiratory illness within about five days.

In Canada, the travel advisory includes the same advice given to all travellers: Get a flu shot and take precautions such as covering coughs and staying home when sick. But it also adds locations in Mexico where cases of a severe respiratory illness have occurred.

PUBLIC STATEMENT ON THE LEBANESE AND PALESTINIANS by Brazilian cartoonist Latuff

This message is for the Lebanese and Palestinian people and
to all people who care about their suffering.

It’s not the first time that
Israel has criminally attacked them and it’s also not
the first time that Arab governments have turned their backs on the suffering of the Lebanese and Palestinians.

Israel has punished people of Gaza and Beirut under the
allegation of fighting Hezbollah and Hamas guerrillas,
however this military offensive was previously planned by
Israel, as part of a White House strategy for a new Middle
East map according to its interests. The same argument of “war
on terror” has been used by Washington to invade and
occupy Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as harass Arabs and
Muslims who refuse to be on their knees over the George Bush policies.

I’d like to send my condolences to all Lebanese and
Palestinian families who lost their loved ones, killed by
the bombs of the State of Israel and say that this same
Lebanon which raised up from the ashes of a long-term civil
war, will rise again from this new tragedy. The Arab and
Muslim worlds must support both Lebanese and Palestinians
in these difficult times, because today any Middle
Eastern country can be victim of United States and Israel and only
united can the Arab and Muslim people resist. You can make a
difference. Make your part. Denounce the crimes of USA and
Israel. If world is deaf to it, let’s shout it. There are
many ways to make it. Write an article, not only in Arabic
but also in English, so people in other countries can easily
understand your message. Publish it in a blog, in a local
paper, make a drawing, a photo, write a song, make a video,
a graffiti, join public demonstrations, debates, talk to
friends. It is important that you never be neglectful to the suffering
of our brothers and sisters in Lebanon, or in Palestine,
Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Bombs destroy buildings and lives, but never the strength of
a people who resisted and still resist the state
terrorism from Israel and the United States.

With my solidarity and wishes of better days, I tell you, my
Lebanese and Palestinian brothers and sisters: Keep the
faith, keep strong and keep going.

March 17, 2003 - Stephen Harper, then leader of the Conservative Opposition, attacks Jean Chretien’s Liberal government for listening to the majority of Canadians and not overtly supporting or sending combat troops into Bush’s war in Iraq. The United Nations did not support the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, called the war illegal in 2004.

Massive demonstrations in Quebec and Canada against the impending war in Iraq forced the Liberals to make this public statement against the war in 2003. Chretien’s government did send military and command support into the Gulf, and made a deal with the Bush Administration to send a large contingent of combat troops into Afghanistan instead of Iraq (2,500 Canadian troops are currently serving in Kandahar until 2011; as of mid-June 2008, 85 soldiers had been killed).

Harper and his Conservative party (now the minority Government of Canada) strongly advocate for war in the Middle East, have successfully pushed through increases in military spending in Canada as requested by the Bush Administration, and promote a repressive security state that targets Arabs, Muslims and ethnic minorities who do not support their aggressive neo-conservative agenda.

Conservatives Stephen Harper and Stockwell Day are closely tied to the Republican Bush Administration in the United States. Harper and Day’s election and political campaigns are heavily funded by oil, gas, defence and conservative lobby groups, both in Canada and the United States.
