Novartis Knock Down Day
Novartis Knock Down Day is a call for actions against Novartis on Monday, October 27th for being one of Huntingdon Life Sciences’ (HLS’s) largest customers. Without customers of Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) there simply would be no Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). The customers pay Huntingdon to test products and carry out research. If Huntingdon lost all their customers then they would have no income and be forced to close. There are only ten companies which give Huntingdon Life Sciences 45% of their income; these include Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, and Bristol-Myers Squibb.

09/11/2008 - 9:00amFBI Wanted Obama Plotters Charged, But A Rove Appointee Said No
We noticed last week that it was awfully peculiar that Colorado’s U.S. Attorney, Troy Eid, had so airily dismissed conspiracy charges against the three white-supremacist tweakers who were caught planning to assassinate Barack Obama at last week’s Democratic National Convention in Denver.
Meanwhile, protesters who were completely gun-free get charged with felony terrorism in Minneapolis.
Now it turns out that those suspicions were fully warranted:
KUSA - 9Wants to Know has learned three
men in Denver planned to assassinate U.S. Senator Barack Obama during
the Democratic National Convention in Denver by sneaking into one of
his events and shooting him with a gun hidden inside of a camera,
according to federal court records.
Rage Against the Machine: Anatomy of a Protest
You could tell right away, just walking up to the Target Center for the highly anticipated Rage Against the Machine show, that the cops expected trouble.
You could tell, by the way they lined up around the entire building in full riot gear and wooden sticks, while the fans were going INSIDE the center for the show they paid $80 to go see. (Seriously? They're going to riot BEFORE getting their money's worth?).
