Four more Egyptian journalists have been arrested , accused with crimes including "spreading false information" and "working for al Jazeera".

Along the same lines, New Zealand has criminalized many sorts of on digital communications, including journalism.

One of the new crimes, punished with imprisonment, is "making false allegations" and "disclosing sensitive personal facts". It also criminalizes whistleblowing even against companies, since it is forbidden to send or post anything "published in breach of confidence".

Under "Principle 10", "denigrating" anyone based on various personal characteristics is also criminalized. Saying, "He's a Scientologist, so he's a sucker" seems to be a crime there now, and even "By believing in PISSI's version of Islam he has turned himself into a monster".

Urging people to say, to a business owner, "I won't buy from you any more because..." also seems to be a crime under "Principle 8".

Great job of repression, New Zealand!

Being bullied hurts, but nothing like being put in prison.

Two brothers imprisoned for decades because Cleveland thugs bullied a child into testifying against them are suing the city and those thugs.

It is too bad that the thugs won't have to personally pay if the victims win.

Bernie Sanders stands up for Greece against the euro-banks.

He has done this before and he continues to do so.

The FBI has issued 40 "terror warnings", all 100% false. There was never a real attack, nor any evidence of a failed attack.

If they do enough of these warnings, by chance one of them will be coincide with reality, like a stopped clock.

We must set a goal of (roughly) zero greenhouse gas emissions, in a decade or two, not a century.

(I understand this as meaning zero net emissions, counting what the Earth can absorb in a steady state.)
