Russia: Back to the Future ? HUMAN EVENTS
2011-12-28 18:06:00 Last weekend’s massive protest in Moscow’s Prospekt Sakharova will result in a new Soviet-style Russia not an Arab Spring-like revolution.

Russia: Fresh Protests Challenge Putin and His Loyalists ? TIME

They were sick of corruption and political paternalism. Unlike many ...

Open carry at political protests
2009-08-18 01:06:00 Open Carry at a protest where Obama is going to be. I am not sure how I feel about this one. It’s good that the police aren’t overreacting, but this has a lot of potential for going sideways in a hurry. A crackpot or a plant could create a lot of bad (worse) press.

Two Protests Each Attract 4,000–Only One Makes MSM
2009-04-02 08:00:00 After reading that anti-globalisation/anti-war protests in London drew “about 4,000 protesters,” I thought that number of protesters looked familiar, so I decided to check how many showed up at last month’s “Tea Party” protesting higher taxes and increased government spending in Cincinnati. Looks like I was onto something. According to the local paper, “about 4,000 protesters showed up.” Crowds about the same size should generate about the same amount of coverage, right? Turns out not to be the case at all. A google news search for “London Protests” (without the quotation marks) yield 9,174 hits whereas “Cincinnati Tea Party” (again without the quotation marks) yields only 62. You’ll note that most of the big media outlets turn up for the first search while mostly local outlets turn up for the second. So, I decided to do another google search to find the population of each city. London has “7,517...

2008-06-08 07:28:00 Iran's United Nations delegation accused the Security Council of "emboldening" an Israeli official into threatening to attack Iran over its nuclear weapons development program, according to Iran's state-run media."The Israeli regime has been emboldened due to carelessness and silence of the Security Council," the delegation said in a letter to U.N.

2008-06-01 07:04:00 Protesters, most supporting Hillary Clinton, gathered in Washington, DC outside of the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting today. The group demanded all the votes from Florida and Michigan be counted and the states' full delegations be seated at the Denver convention.The crowds were no doubt disappointed by the committee's ruling, however, which gave the delegates from both states only half a vote at the convention. That result virtually eliminates Clinton's already slim chances of winning the delegates, super or otherwise, needed for the Democratic nomination. Her campaign may still take their fight to Denver.Barack Obama had urged his supporters not to protest at the event.
