INTERNET BLACKOUT PROTEST AGAINST INTERNET CENSORSHIP LAWS IN THE USA

Tomorrow, January 18th, 2012, will be the largest internet protest in history. Thousands of sites across the internet, including some of the biggest in the world, will be blacking out and directing people to contact Congress to kill the web censorship bill, SOPA and PIPA. We want to get you involved.
Join us on the historic day by blacking out your site. Copy the code below and paste it into the header of your theme (Wordpress users: use the SOPA Strike plugin) to black your site out in protest of SOPA/PIPA. It will activate automatically on Jan. 18th, displaying this page and directing visitors to contact Congress, and will deactivate at the end of the day.
<script type="text/javascript">var a=new Date,b=a.getHours()+a.getTimezoneOffset()/60;if(18==a.getDate()&&0==a.getMonth()&&2012==a.getFullYear()&&13<=b&&24>=b)window.location="http://sopastrike.com/strike";</script>
In just 7 days, the Senate will vote on forever altering the free and open internet by instituting a new regime of extra-judicial, corporate-led website takedowns. This is a fundamental fight about who has power in society -- the people with the means to communicate freely or the governments and corporations that feel threatened.
For the full state of play on the censorship bills, take a look at this infographic we've put together. Click here. The clock is ticking, and we're still 35 senators short of the number we need to kill the bill.

RECENT HISTORY POEM

RECENT HISTORY

I paid cash
for the restored
cabin.
Stranded faces
streamed outside,
avoided overstaying
night stories,
swam in winds.
Munched caws
herded cellwelts
in woods.
Owls and weasels
avoided the oil
stream, strummed
winged instruments.
Tagged shoes,
puddles, shovels,
iced lips tangled
in metal links.
The calculations
of recht shifted
in the voice stream.

REBEL TREES



Winter trees by Katerina Nikoltsou and official stamp from Greece; shapeshifter rebel collage by Guido Vermeulen, Belgium

On the importance of trees in social actions:


THE TWO MILLION TREES PROJECT IN PALESTINE::
imageA project of The Arab Group for the Protection of Nature. Amman, Jordan supported by BBCF 
Did you know that Israel has uprooted & destroyed more than 1 million trees in Palestine?
The Arab Group for the Protection of Nature needs our support to replace these trees and restore the environment and livelihood of Palestinians as well as in its work to raise awareness about the occupation & destruction of Palestine. Support this action to help win peace and justice in Palestine. The trees can be designated in your name or in the name of anyone you choose to honour this way. BBCF is working with APN to raise funds and to help tell people everywhere about Palestine. In 2008 APN achieved its goal of planting one million tress and APN is now working on its second million tree campaign. In Victoria, we have already raised more than $10000 for trees.

Buy a living tree for $8 / 5 GB pounds or 6 Euros!   Cheques & bank drafts in these currencies can be sent to BBCF, 1022 McGregor Ave. Victoria, BC. CANADA
