‘The End of America,’ Liberty: Use It or Lose It
A look at the compelling new documentary based on Naomi Wolf’s book of the same name.
The "End of America," a compelling new documentary by award-winning filmmakers Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern in collaboration with best-selling author Naomi Wolf received some love today in the New York Times:
The pointedly inflammatory film, adapted from Naomi Wolf’s book "The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot," compares the Bush administration’s attempts to discourage dissent and to wield increasingly unchecked power to the events preceding the establishment of 20th-century dictatorships in Germany, Italy, Chile and elsewhere. Without explicitly invoking the word, it implies that since 2001 the United States has drifted toward fascism in the name of fighting terror.

Groups Unite to Challenge the Definition of Forests Under UNFCCC/REDD
Currently the UN considers industrial tree plantations as forests. This is, simply put, an egregious error. Plantations are not forests. Forests are diverse ecosystems and plantations are void of biodiversity. The UN definition endangers Indigenous Peoples, forest dependent people, peasants, small farmers, biodiversity and exacerbates climate change.
