Did the 'Game of Thrones' showrunners confirm a book spoiler?
This article contains spoilers for Game of Thrones.
The latest Game of Thrones episode sent ripples through the fandom as the show's latest death could be a spoiler The Winds of Winter.
George R.R. Martin warned us that we would see characters still alive in his books die in the show, as we've already seen with Mance Rayder and Ser Barristan Selmy earlier in the season. Shireen Baratheon's sacrifice in the episode "The Dance of Dragons" disturbed fans. Some might've seen that as another drastic TV change, at least until Game of Thrones's "Inside the Episode" segment made its way online.
While discussing the choice to kill Shireen, showrunner David Benioff (who wrote "The Dance of Dragons" along with Dan Weiss) revealed that the idea to kill Shireen wasn't one of their making, but rather it was Martin who told them to do it. Benioff explains around the 1:34 mark.
Benioff and Weiss told fans back in March that the show would eventually spoil the books, but mostly through redirecting characters before getting them to the same destination as in the books. Book fans understand Jon Snow's visit to "Hardhome" as visual setup for the TV series, and Tyrion Lannister meeting Daenerys Targaryen as prep work for him to take over the advisory role Barristan plays in the books. Those are made-for-TV plot points that don't necessarily intersect with the book narrative. Some book fans, however, take Benioff's comments as confirmation that Shireen will be sacrificed to the Lord of Light in The Winds of Winter—a direct spoiler for the books.
But some who prefer to find out what happens in A Song of Ice and Fire from Martin and not the show aren't very happy.
Among them is Linda Antonsson, who runs Westeros.org with Garcia, her partner. They've been fans of the series since 1997 and have a close relationship with Martin, having fact checked some of his writing and co-authored The World of Ice and Fire, a companion encyclopedia for the series. She's upset with Benioff's remarks revealing a plot point that she believes will occur in The Winds of Winter, albeit one she believed would eventually happen. It suggests that Stannis will survive the Battle of Winterfell and that he will burn his daughter.
Well, that's it. No, not the episode as such, though I have a lot to say about that too. But now Dumb & Dumber has done it for sure.
Outright saying that knew from GRRM that Stannis would sacrifice Shireen is incredibly rude to GRRM and the book readers.
So, for some (like us), it was an unnecessary confirmation. For many others, it was an enormous spoiler with huge implications.
The worst part is that I can only think of one good reason to say it (beyond just plain stupidity of a higher degree): covering their asses.
I imagine they knew there'd be outrage, so they probably wanted to "blame" GRRM. Alternatively, they are as stupid as I have suspected.
There aren't enough misfortunes I could wish on them for doing this and they deserve all the hatred they will get. I am utterly disgusted.
After she and Garcia have done their best to not publish leaked material from the show (and after showrunners praised book readers for not spoiling big plot points such as Ned Stark's death and the Red Wedding), she feels it's an act of betrayal for the showrunners to then go and spoil something as big as Shireen's death in official promotional material.
…to respect HBO's wishes about not posting leaks from sets, leaked episodes, etc, regardless of our views about the show.
But apparently they couldn't care less about not throwing in totally unnecessary spoilers in their promotional material around the episode.
Antonsson's Twitter rant vented some frustration (something other book fans might've felt), but her comments left some fans worrying they could incite a spoiler war.
In response to that tweet, some fans accused Antonsson of spoiling show fans to try to get back at Benioff and Weiss. They also called her unprofessional and suggested her rage was jealousy that Martin told the showrunners some stuff from the books and not Antonsson and Garcia. Along with fighting back at critics on Twitter, she clarified that she wasn't actually going to release spoilers.
I admit to a great deal of amusement over how "I feel like" has turned into "I will". Of course, the reactions make "I will" more tempting.
Lets try this again. I said "I feel like", not "I will", regarding the whole spoiling ep 10 for show watchers.
D&D betrayed book readers that they previously praised for now spoiling for show watchers, hence my feelings. Clear enough?
Also, to anyone saying we're just mad because D&D were told and not us? Nice try. We never have, never will discuss future plots with GRRM.
We have never wanted to find out ahead of reading the books. But that is apparently a strange concept to some delusional folks.
Whether Shireen's fate in Game of Thrones is actually a spoiler likely won't be revealed until The Winds of Winter is released.

Paducah Bank Partners with Columbia Art House Restoration Project
Darlene Mazzone – darlene@paducahlife.com
Paducah Bank has partnered with the Columbia Art House Restoration Project in order to avail the project of funding through the usage of historic tax credits. The Kentucky Historic Preservation Tax Credit program is administered by the Kentucky Heritage Council/State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), an agency of the Kentucky Tourism Arts and Heritage Cabinet. "The Kentucky Heritage Council is charged with identifying, preserving, and protecting the historic resources of Kentucky. Its mission is to partner with Kentuckians to strengthen preservation networks so that our historic places are valued, protected, and used to enhance the quality and economy of communities like Paducah," commented Darlene Mazzone, Chair of the Columbia Art House Restoration Project board.
The Columbia is partnering with Paducah Bank, who is purchasing the historic tax credits and issuing the working funds to the theater. "We are so grateful for this public/private partnership," added Mazzone. "This allows Paducah Bank to take advantage of this opportunity and it provides much-needed funding for our Columbia restoration project. Consequently, both entities gain a financial advantage, all the while taking steps forward to preserve this masterpiece in our midst."
Melinda Winchester, a member of the Columbia Art House board and a Relationship Manager for Paducah Bank, created the application for the Columbia and served as the liaison between the two entities. "This is a classic case for historic tax credits," Winchester said. "The use of historic tax credits encourages the adaptive reuse of historic buildings in all contexts and also supports the idea of these types of projects being a key part of a community's public policies."
The landmark building was built in 1927 and has been closed since 1987. The project has been the recipient of several local, state, and national grants and became a signature mission of Paducah's Main Street nearly nine years ago. "Our current goal is to simply save the building and then take steps to develop its potential as a viable operation in the future," Mazzone added. "It would be a complete travesty to lose this magnificent structure in the heart of our historic district."
This preservation project is yet another investment by Paducah Bank in the development of Paducah's downtown culture. Paducah Bank was instrumental in the creation and support of the Artist Relocation Program. "Paducah Bank has been a foundational part of this community since 1948," commented Paducah Bank CEO Joe Framptom. "For 73 years, the leadership of this community bank has chosen to look beyond the activities of our daily operations in order to facilitate the future of this place we call home."

If you ever ask any successful Instagram marketer How to Get Instagram Famous the most common answer you get is, use of proper hashtags for all the posts. If you're new to the world of Instagram, you might not know what a hashtag is. If that's the case, here's everything that you need to know about hashtags and why you need them.
Basically, a hashtag is a word that prefixed with a hash symbol (#). These are used in the post descriptions and even in the comments. The basic function of these hashtags is to help the social media platform categorize and organize posts and contents. For example, if you use #nature in your post then Instagram automatically put your post in the category that has other #nature posts. This helps people in finding the desired post of a specific category very easily.
Now that you know what a hashtag is, let's see why you need to use them in your Instagram posts.

Hashtags will also help people find out more about your brand, which leads to brand awareness and increased engagements in your business's Instagram account.
Using the proper hashtags in your posts is one of the best ways to gain a higher following on Instagram.

This answers the most important question that most of the people ask, How to Get Instagram Famous. Use of specific hashtags also lets you promote your brand across other platforms as well.
If you think that Instagram hashtags are just about increasing your social media following, think again. It's much more than just gaining followers as it can boost up your customers and even sales. Using niche specific hashtags in your posts related to the products and services that you offer is likely to draw the attention of the users who want to purchase the product or have the service. This means that you will generate important leads that will increase your sales.


I haven't done a favourite finds round-up for ages, so I thought I'd create a post that collects together all of the colourful things that have caught my eye over the last few months. And as 3rd April is National Find a Rainbow Day, instead of restricting myself to one theme or topic I thought it would be fun to give myself free rein to share anything and everything - so long as it was colourful!
So here's some of the beautiful and brilliant things that have been brightening up my world.
Back at the beginning of 2019 I wrote a blog post that set out my '19 for 2019' - a superlist covering nineteen intentions that I wanted to mindfully work towards over the course of the year. Pretty close to the top of the list was my hope to spend more time crafting for fun.
I'm pleased to report that I'm making steady progress - I've made some rainbow beads from this set of FIMO* , I'm (still) very slowly stitching my Stichsperation custom quote cross stitch kit, and I'm drawing along with the Critical Role Pub Draw series - but today I thought I'd share a craft project I have actually managed to complete!


This palm inspired note card is perfect for someone writing notes from an tropical location. Vintage illustrations of a variety of palm leaves are arranged in the corner and a classic font sits on top. These letterpress note cards are cool, yet classic. They look sharp printed in dark green ink, but the simplicity of the design could lend itself to a variety of colors. Pair this stationery with a brightly lined envelope for an extra touch of fun.

}

I just didn't post all my triggerHandler Methods cause It's too long. I just posted an example.Thanks for the reply.

A: The reason why you aren't getting any coverage is because you aren't inserting any Matter__c records.
Let's step through some of your code to see how I reached this conclusion.
//Create Matter Record
List<Matter__c> oldMatter = new List<Matter__c>();

So far, so good. You've initialized a list of Matter__c. It should be noted that this line of code does not itself create any Matter__c records. Moving on...
for(Matter__c m : oldMatter){
  m.Name = 'Testing 1234';
  m.Account__c = 'Testing 12345';
  m.Status__c = 'New';
  m.Google_Entity__c = ge.Id;
  m.Matter_Region__c = 'NACE';
  m.Matter_Country_Countries__c = 'Ireland';
  m.Does_an_NDA_exist__c = 'Yes';
  m.Description__c = 'For Testing Purposes';

  oldMatter.add(m);
}

This looks ok at first glance, but let's take a closer look at the very start of the loop
for(Matter__c m : oldMatter){

Since you haven't done anything with oldMatter besides initializing it, this line effectively becomes
for(Matter__c m : new List<Matter__c>()){

You're telling the for loop to iterate over the records in oldMatter, all 0 of them.
When a for loop is given an empty collection to work on, the loop will simply be skipped. So oldMatter continues to have no data in it. Moving on...
Test.startTest();
insert oldMatter;
Test.stopTest();

oldMatter is still empty, when a DML call is performed on an empty list, Salesforce is smart enough to not waste resources. Your trigger never gets called, explaining why you're getting no coverage.
To fix this, you need to get some data into oldMatter. You could modify your for loop to be for(Integer i = 0; i < 1; i++){, but a loop for creating a single record doesn't make any sense.
Instead, I'd just replace that loop with the following
oldMatter.add(new Matter__c(
    Name = 'Testing 1234',
    Account__c = 'Testing 12345',
    Status__c = 'New',
    Google_Entity__c = ge.Id,
    Matter_Region__c = 'NACE',
    Matter_Country_Countries__c = 'Ireland',
    Does_an_NDA_exist__c = 'Yes',
    Description__c = 'For Testing Purposes'
));

Now, if Matter__c's Account__c field is a lookup, you'll need to prepare and insert an Account, and then use the account's Id much like you're doing for the Google_Entity__c field.

ABBOTT, LUKE
Music From The Edge Of An Island (Blue Vinyl)
FLOAT 003LTD-LP FLOAT 003LTD-LP
Limited blue vinyl version. Float welcomes their second artist into the fold. UK electronic artist and Szun Waves band member Luke Abbott, presents a special ten-track album to celebrate Piano Day 2019 (March 29th) -- an international event series initiated by Nils Frahm which acts as a platform for piano-related projects. Music From The Edge Of An Island sees Abbott divert from his typically experimental electronic style to explore a more compositional approach centered around VST instruments. Rather than the usual themes of synthesis and improvisation, the album is led by piano motifs, structured around emotive melodies and sparkling arrangements. The record began as a part of a soundtrack commission by producer/actor Jessica Hynes for her film The Fight and ultimately became a fully-realized album. The film script had a coastal setting that created the record's thematic idea: "I had this idea about being on the edge of England, almost ready to fall off a cliff into the sea but keeping your balance on the edge." The idea of writing for the piano had been ruminating for some months as Abbott found himself spending an increasing amount of time playing on the instrument. Without a piano of his own though, he found a strangely enchanting way to fulfil his creative impulse. "I used to have an upright piano, but I'd given it away when I last moved house, so I ended up using a piano VST in the computer, which I actually really enjoyed. Writing the music became a bit of a weird fantasy process." The writing process was remarkably quick, resulting in simple yet inspired pieces that subtly blur the lines between MIDI computer music, and live performance. Music From The Edge Of An Island can be seen as a collection of gentle reveries that sway between the twilight hours, marked by moments of soft, contemplative ballads and more active and expansive motions. Opening track "Sea" begins with a mysterious piano waltz before unnerving synth drones take over. "Island" continues with piano triplet figures plus added orchestration of cello strokes and airy glass pads, before heading into the melancholic "Tree", bringing in more strings and added pathos heard in the restless piano motif. Quieter passages are contrasted with the Gamelan-esque "Moments" and the uplifting "On Rope", whilst more lyrical moments on the album can be found in tracks such as "Adjustment" and closing track "A Different Tree".

Fanfic / Calvin at Camp
Calvin at Camp is a crossover series by author Blue Paratroopa, featuring the characters from Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, FoxTrot, and Ed, Edd n Eddy all going to a daycamp (located on a local college campus) together. During his many misadventures, Calvin ends up opening up a warp portal to the Mushroom Kingdom through some "Choose Your Own Adventure" Super Mario Bros. books. He quickly makes an enemy of Bowser Koopa, who is soon bent on destroying the camp, after the kids somehow manage to defeat him. After each defeat, his grudge grows a little bit bigger.
There is a slight "blasphemy" in the series, which is that a few other characters can "see" Hobbes as a real tiger: Jason, Marcus, Ed, Eddy, Double D, and Snoopy. This was done to make the stories flow a little bit more easily. Most of the characters make sense as to why they can see Hobbes, though Double D and Eddy require some Willing Suspension of Disbelief. Conversely, Hobbes is the only character besides Woodstock who can hear Snoopy "talk".
The series sends the characters on original adventures and also parodies various Disney films from time to time. So far, there are nearly forty "episodes." These all range in quality, and a few of them the author views as being less than fantastic.
The series can be found here , along with other stories by the author.
Tropes featured in this series:
An Aesop: Rare as it may be, "The Pool Toys War" teaches that there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity.
All Guys Want Cheerleaders: The Eds fall head-over-heels in love in the episode "A Stalker's Life."
All Just a Dream: Happens in the Lost parody, though the audience knows this the whole time, so it isn't a surprise.
Angry Mob Song: "Serves Them Right," which is a parody of "The Mob Song."
Awesome, but Impractical: Calvin, Jason, and Marcus threaten Kevin with medieval weapons in "Water Week," but find out the hard way that although the weapons look cool, they weigh too much to be lifted off of the ground.
Batman Gambit: Eugene's plan in Jason Fox The Musical is to sit back and watch the kids tear each other apart after he's set up a scenario where they would drive each other insane.
Bound and Gagged: Happens to the Kankers and later to Charlie Brown, Jason, and Marcus in "A Stalker's Life."
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Happens occasionally, especially when the Hitchhiking Ghosts appear.
Cloning Blues: Calvin tries his hand at cloning again in one episode. It doesn't go well, of course.
Crowd Song: Every now and then, the kids enjoy bursting into song.
A Day in the Limelight: Larry Koopa stars in "The New Kid".
Demonic Possession: Happens to a slew of ghosts and the Eds (with a hint of People Puppets thrown in) in "Ghostmaster".
Double Agent: Calvin in "The Pool Toys War." It doesn't work very well.
Double Take: Calvin and Hobbes do one in "Ghostmaster" when the Headless Horseman charges at them.
Dwindling Party: Happens to the kids in "Hobbes of the Wild."
Easily Forgiven: Kevin gets off pretty easy at the end of "Water Week." Granted, he did get the kids out of a tight spot, but still...
Eek, a Mouse!!: Jimmy reacts this way in "Bringing Down the Mouse".
Electrified Bathtub: This happens to Calvin in "Ghostmaster", though in this case, it's a pool.
Flashback: A few flashbacks in the Lost parody show the kids doing some...pretty terrible things. Thankfully, it's All Just a Dream.
Food Fight: The Eds attack Kevin with ice cream in "Water Week."
Found Footage Films: Spoofed with "Supersize Ed," which is also a parody of Super Size Me.
Hell Hotel: More or less happens in "The Thing in the Dorm," except it's a dorm, not a hotel. Eddy does use it like a hotel, though.
His Name Really Is "Barkeep": A character referred to as "The Bear" reveals that it's his real name at one point, complete with the "The."
Imagine Spot: Calvin has three in "Champion Charlie Brown," each one about a different ego.
Is This Thing Still On?: Happens to Eddy early on in "Legends of the Hidden Campus." Luckily for him, no one seems to notice.
Late to the Tragedy: Calvin and the others experience a minor example of this in "The Volleyball of Terror," when they find the trail of destruction that the ball has left.
Manipulative Bastard: Lucy, Bowser, and especially Eugene have shades of this.
Musical Episode: While most episodes feature a musical number, the movie parodies tend to be full-out musical episodes.
Musicalis Interruptus: Marcus's ballad in "Jason Fox The Musical" is cut off by Marcus's narration, as he is embarrassed in retrospect.
Nothing Is Scarier: This idea is explored in "The Mad Punter" and to a lesser degree in "The Thing in the Dorm," the latter crossing over with Or Was It a Dream?
Obstacle Exposition: Eddy has one in "Legends of the Hidden Campus," which takes the one from Legends of the Hidden Temple up to eleven, since Eddy fills it with insane Fake Difficulty.
Original Character: Only two—The Bear and the Volleyball of Terror.
Paper-Thin Disguise: Larry Koopa's disguise in "The New Kid" consists of a Mickey Mouse hat. No one recognizes him.
Roswell That Ends Well: In "The New Kid," Jason and Marcus accuse a disguised Larry of being an alien from Roswell.
Scary Stinging Swarm: Calvin is chased away by a swarm of bees at the end of "The Pool Toys War".
Shout-Out:
The Mouse Trap sequence in "Bringing Down the Mouse" is an homage to MouseHunt.
In "Champion Charlie Brown", Lucy quotes a line from Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown.
Showdown at High Noon: Happens at the end of the "Dodgeball" episode.
Slipping a Mickey: In the Lost parody, Jason and Marcus drug Sarah with a coconut milk smoothie.
Smug Snake: Eugene.
Status Quo Is God: The parodies of Hercules and Bye Bye Birdie had whole songs about it at the end!
Superpowered Alter Ego: Calvin's three alter egos return, along with a couple new ones. Of course, most of it is all in his mind...some of the time.
There Are No Adults: Keeping true to the theme of Peanuts, and Ed, Edd n Eddy', there are rarely any adults around.
Troll Fic: The Calvin at Camp Christmas Carol . Crosses over with Yet Another Christmas Carol and Take That!.
The Unseen: The counselors, who are described vaguely, and only seem to speak to Kevin.
Video Game Cruelty Potential: In one episode, Bowser and Gannondorf trap Calvin and Hobbes in The Sims and try to use this to kill them.
Villain Recruitment Song: Eddy's parody of "Pick a Pocket Or Two," sung to Jason and Marcus.
Villain Team-Up: Played With in "A Stalker's Life." The kids are pitted against the Volleyball of Terror, Eugene, and the Kankers all at once, but the villains just get in the way of each other.
Walk the Plank: Jason and Marcus try to do this to Mr. Bun in the Pilot episode.
Written-In Absence: Hobbes is gone for most of "Bringing Down the Mouse." Most likely, this was done to avoid a Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? Plot Hole, as Hobbes should be able to catch a mouse easily.

In pictures: India's 10 Blue Flag beaches that stand out for sustainability, safety & access kappad rushikonda 30 stades
India is home to ten beaches with Blue Flag certification, a global eco-level tag given to beaches that meet 33 environmental, educational, safety-related and access-related criteria. Last week, Kovalam beach in Tamil Nadu and Eden in Puducherry received the certification accorded by the Foundation for Environmental Education, Denmark.
According to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the Foundation has also given re-certification for eight beaches that were awarded the certificate on October 6 last year. These are the Shivrajpur beach in Gujarat, Ghoghla in Diu, Kasarkod and Padubidri beaches of Karnataka, Kappad in Kerala, Rushikonda beach of Andhra Pradesh, Golden (also known as Puri beach) in Odisha, Eden beach in Puducherry and Radhanagar beach of Swaraj (Havemor) Island in Andaman and Nicobar.

The beaches are selected by an international jury comprising members of the UN Environment Programme, UN World Tourism Organization, Foundation for Environmental Education and IUCN.
The certification provides owners or operators of beaches, marinas and boats the right to display the Blue Flag. They also undertake the responsibility of ensuring continued compliance with all criteria. The Foundation, through local partners, carries out periodic checks to ensure compliance. Here are India's 10 Blue Flag beaches in pictures:

I know I only come to you when I have to rant but today was truly the worst day of my life. The entire day just started on a bad note. I woke up to find that I didn't plug in my charger properly last night and so my phone wasn't charged. So, I had to resort to using my power bank to charge my phone instead, since I had to leave the house.
Apart from that, you see, I've been on this diet for the past week and I require a protein shake with my egg and milk breakfast but my maid had forgotten the protein shake today. This had to be today. I was supposed to be meeting up with a bunch of friends later and I wanted to look my best.
Anyways, I wouldn't have gotten so worked up about it if it had been any other day. But, today was the day I was supposed to go all the way from Dhanmondi 6 to Dhanmondi 27 without a car. My parents had to take the car with them, unfortunately. I don't even know the roads properly since I have always travelled by a car. I had all these concerns in my mind and that wasn't even the end of it.
After I passed all these hurdles and met up with my friends finally, we went to this restaurant. Before we started eating I noticed that I had run out of hand sanitiser. All my friends had their ones with them and I had to walk up and go all the way to the washroom to wash my hands and when I returned I found that everyone had started eating. By that time, I had completely lost my appetite.
I returned home shortly afterwards to find that the power had gone out and our generator does not support the air conditioner. So, here I am sitting down on my bed and writing to you in this heat. I'm just waiting for this horrible day to end at this point.
Tasnim Odrika is having an existential crisis at the moment and doesn't really know who she is anymore. Send her compliments at odrika_02@yahoo.com.

Army Veteran Commits Civil Disobedience Against Border Wall
Posted by John Moore under activism, ahimsa, Border Wall, Civil Disobedience, gandhi, human rights, immigration, La Frontera, law, Legal theory, love, Martin Luther King, mlk, national security, nonviolence, Open Borders, political theory
EL PASO – A 55-year-old Army veteran hunkered down in front of construction crews who were building the fence along the U.S.-Mexico border Wednesday, halting work for about eight hours before she was arrested.
Judy Ackerman, one of about a dozen people at a peaceful protest east of El Paso on Wednesday, was handcuffed by Texas Department of Public Safety troopers after several hours of figuring out which authority was responsible for removing her. It wasn't clear what charges she'd face.
Work on the fence resumed immediately after Ms. Ackerman was led away. Before her arrest, the white-haired woman sporting a reflective vest and hard hat cheerfully chatted with authorities. About 20 workers were milling around the site, leaning against heavy equipment and dump trucks and taking pictures of her with their cellphones.
"They have a job to do, but today their job is to take a break," said Ms. Ackerman, a retired sergeant major who spent 26 years in the Army.
She crossed a canal before workers arrived and took up a position on a levee where large steel poles were being erected. The levee is in a desolate area several miles east of downtown El Paso, near the 370-acre Rio Bosque Wetlands Park.
"They have this wonderful park here, and the wall is messing it up," Ms. Ackerman said.
She was on land maintained by the International Boundary and Water Commission. Al Riera, the principal engineer for the commission, said officials were notified about her presence early Wednesday and spent several hours trying to figure out what agency should remove her.

5th Circuit Court of Appeals Hears Border Wall Arguments
Posted by John Moore under activism, Border Wall, Brownsville, immigration, La Frontera, law, racism
Today three judges from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on the rights of Baldomero and Hilaria Muñiz, and Pamela Rivas. Both families live in Los Ebanos and are refusing DHS access to survey their properties prior to building a border wall. Those arguments can be heard here.
All three judges are white, and all three were nominated by Republican presidents. Judge E. Grady Jolly and Judge Edith Brown Clement seemed rather unsympathetic to the arguments of Texas RioGrande Legal Aid lawyer Jerome Wesevich, whose voice was shaky, and seemed off balance throughout his argument. Judge Clement was the most antagonistic and offensive on the three judge panel. She scoffed at the concern of the landowners that their properties could be severely damaged. Although DHS' own language says the government can destroy buildings in the way of survey equipment, she mocked the property owners' concerns by saying that DHS "might trim some hedges." She also invoked the term "illegal aliens." And although Judge Jolly later referenced the landowners' inability to speak English as a reason to sympathize with regular people being bullied by their government, Judge Clement seemed to think their Spanish language was making it unreasonable for DHS to do it's job (as if we were here to facilitate our government's attacking us, rather than the government being here to serve its people). Judge Priscilla Richman Owen, the lone Texan on the bench, did not question Wesevich.
When his turn arrived, DHS attorney John Arbab was quickly cut off by Judge Jolly because DHS' position is that the 5th Circuit did not have jurisdiction to hear the cases. His basic sense of fairness was offended by the government's claim that they could condemn property without the landowner being able to sue and appeal. But Arbab seemed to me to successfully parry the judge's questions and argued calmly and confidently.
Judge Clement appeared most interested to know if the Los Ebanos families were basically alone, or whether other residents along the route of the wall were also suing. According to DHS' Arbab, there are 250 cases, 193 "footprint cases" and 57 "right of entry cases." (This number will increase when the Texas Border Coalition processes the more than 120 affidavits of Brownsville landowners who, thanks to the assistance of Border Ambassadors and C.A.S.A., recently started the legal process of suing DHS.)
Graphiti Artist Banksy
As for Judge Owen, I would guess that of the three, this George W. Bush appointee is our best ally. She questioned why the pre-suit offer of DHS to landowners was $0. She also seemed upset that DHS was suing for access to survey when independent of any survey DHS has determined that a fence is needed and has filed a condemnation lawsuit as well, thus getting the cart before the horse, and assuming the outcome of the case being argued while simultaneously making it appear unnecessary for DHS to survey.
During his time for rebuttal, Wesevich performed much better, arguing much more confidently. Despite a comfortably closed-minded Clement, Wesevich pushed back. Still, Judge Jolly ended the session with the statement that the landowners "need lawyers, but they don't need lawyers," meaning, they need someone who lets them know that they have a right to negotiate for a price, but not someone who is going to sue. Hopefully that doesn't mean Judge Jolly wishes to sweep the rights of border residents under the rug.
I'm not a lawyer yet, but I'd guess that these Los Ebanos families will lose their right of access cases, but that the 5th Circuit will claim jurisdiction, ensuring each landowner the opportunity to appeal.
The Border Ambassadors, led by Jay Johnson-Castro, passed out fliers for TRLA in Los Ebanos during the Warch Against the Border Wall from March 8 – 16, 2008. TRLA had already announced their information session to the residents of Los Ebanos before we arrived, and it is impossible to know whether we helped encourage the members of the Rivas or Muñiz families, but I'd like to think we didn't hurt. I vividly remember hobbling up to Mike Johnson with his wife Cindy in the distance, also with tired legs and sore feet, handing out our last TRLA information fliers. We worked not until we were tired or in pain (we were tired and in pain before we started), but until we were out of fliers.
Jeanette Ruiz and her family marching against the Border Wall
Those are the kinds of selfless acts, passing out fliers after already marching all day in the hot sun, that drive this movement and make me proud of those I work alongside. The weekend before the Brownsville City Commission met to vote on whether to give city land to DHS to build a wall, another Border Ambassador and I, Jeanette Ruiz, working in conjunction with C.A.S.A., met a tattooed and pierced young man who lives along the fence's route. Although he had to work until after the start of the city meeting, he said that he would pick up his mother and come late. And thank heaven they did. His witty humor kept me from becoming angry, and his mother, pleading in Spanish for help maintaining the home (not just the house) where she raised her family, broke the hearts of all those in attendance. She was the heroine of the night. The courageous Dr. Tamez calmly and eloquently conveyed her conviction. Mr. Paz from Sabal Palms also provided necessary support. Mr. and Mrs. Lucio from Ft. Brown made their persuasive and thoughtful argument. Michelle Taylor and her husband were at their courageous best. Others of us less prominent Brownsvillians made valuable input, speaking truth to power. And we will never know who influenced whom, or what the outcome of the vote would have been without all of these people acting together. But like the widow and her mites in Jesus' parable, by finding the courage to plead with the commissioners, this humble woman from La Moria cast in more than us all.
For the sake of that woman, for the sake of the Muñiz and Rivas families, for the sake of our beloved borderlands where integration, multiculturalism and bilingualism flourish, please join with Border Ambassadors, No Border Wall Coalition, C.A.S.A., or any other organization you feel comfortable working with (and if that doesn't work, just find a friend), and go door-to-door along the fence route, in whatever town you live, collecting signatures on the Texas Border Coalition's Affidavit. We need your help.
Address Before Brownsville City Commission
Posted by John Moore under activism, Border Wall, Brownsville, immigration, La Frontera, love, politics, racism, reconciliation
I gave this speech at last night's City Commission meeting.
John Bruciak isn't the only one "caught in the crossfire," to quote Commissioner Atkinson. All of Brownsville is ducking for cover as racism, xenophobia, and hatred, spit from the lips of Tom Tancredo and Lou Dobbs are aimed at our beloved borderlands. Even our city commission has become wounded with rancor. Who among us will have the courage to stand up amidst the fray and fight for our land and our way of life? I will tell you who: over 98% of the residents along the border wall route, that's who.
This week, members of Border Ambassadors, CASA, and the No Border Wall Coalition have met with 123 landowners along the route of the fence and 121 of them (over 98%) signed the Mayor's declaration, deciding they aren't going to act scared anymore. Given the will of the people, will this commission continue to capitulate, or will it stand up and fight for what it claims it wants: No Border Wall!?
And who among us will be the peacemakers, for as Jesus said, they will be called the children of God? This wall was started by those who think the United States and Mexico are enemies, and it will be stopped by the peacemakers who recognize the brotherhood of mankind. This wall is motivated out of fear, but as John said, "Perfect love casts out all fear." Who here is willing to love this country enough to stop it from building its own Berlin Wall?
I urge this commission to find the love, forgiveness, and courage to join the people of Brownsville. Put aside your animosity and unite in our common fight.

"Out of the Mouth of Babes and Sucklings"
Posted by John Moore under activism, ahimsa, Besteiro Middle School, Border Wall, Brownsville, Civil Disobedience, immigration, La Frontera, Martin Luther King, Middle School, mlk, nonviolence, politics
I gave this speech at the Brownsville City Commission meeting last Tuesday. The city was honoring my students for their recognition as part of the Princeton University Martin Luther King Essay Contest. One student, the one who had spent the most time on her essay, gave a great speech to the Commission, advising them to fight the fence and support increasing the legal ability to immigrate. So during the public comment's section, I gave this speech.
Jesus often called the young people to him by saying, "Suffer the little children to come unto me for of such is the kingdom of heaven." He also quoted Psalms 8:2 which states, "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, thou hast perfected praise."
Although I can't quote these lines to my students while teaching, they have helped guide my thinking as a teacher. Among other things, they alert me to listen to the wisdom and insight that children often have naturally, some of which, we as adults miss. These children here today have taught me so much about tenacity, faith and life, and for that I thank them.
My only admonition for the City Commission is that you fully consider, and not disregard, the "perfected praise" that has come to you "out of the mouth of babes." "Let no man despise [their] youth."
Furthermore, knowing these students as I know them, I believe that we as adults must do everything we can to be as courageous, active, and tenacious as we can, just to keep up with them. In light of that, I ask the members of the Commission to join The Border Ambassadors, LUPE, CASA, Proyecto Azteca, Southwest Workers Union, and most importantly the students, by supporting the March Against the Wall and any other peaceful, grassroots, direct-action event supporting the preservation of La Frontera and preventing Segregation.
Hold On to Hope

Today, I gave this speech to the Brownsville City Council Meeting during the public comment portion. The Brownsville Herald ran an article on Sunday that said that the Mayor was betrayed by the City Council who went behind closed doors to allow the Army Corps of Engineers onto city land to survey for the wall. It is in response to that that I wrote this speech-on the back, and in the margins of the agenda.
Yesterday, Princeton University recognized five of my 8th grade students for essays they wrote on the topic "What would Martin Luther King say and do about immigration?" Princeton opened this year's essay contest to my students because they used my blog, nonviolent migration, as a resource for their contest. These five students, Melissa Guerra, Yessenia Martinez, Abigail Cabrera, Vanessa Trevino, and Blanca Gonzalez were the only five students who had the faith to submit an essay and all were recognized by Princeton.
I asked the rest of my 121 students to speak honestly about why they had decided not to write for the contest. The overwhelming number of students responded that it wasn't worth trying because they felt that because Princeton is in the North, they would prejudge their work since they live on the border. This experience reminded me once again just how excluded these children feel. Even though this wall will be South of most of my students, my students are smart enough to know that the same motive behind this wall is also shouting at them, saying, "You are not us; keep out!"
These students, who started with such enthusiasm when the contest was announced, lost hope and they let their fears overcome their faith. This broke my heart because I love my students, but your capitulation is something other than heartbreaking because you are no longer 8th graders. We expect you to hold out hope. We expect you to keep the faith. We expect you to work for us, and let us fight this fight.
At this time, we want to express our love… and forgiveness… to all the members of the commission. However, as a result of your action, we must now find a legal way to undo what you've done so that my 8th graders don't come to learn that you prejudged them too.

Alternative Spring Break in the Rio Grande Valley

Stop the wall this spring break.
A year and a half ago, Border Ambassador Jay Johnson-Castro went on a 15 day walk through the Texas communities that will be affected if the Secure Fence Act of 2006—already federal law—becomes a reality. His walk, which he undertook basically alone, was covered by the BBC[1] and other international media, as well as multiple articles in the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express News.[2] Hearing of the walk, Republican Governor Rick Perry (a proponent of the wall) held a press conference about border security in the tiny community of Rio Grande City while Jay was walking through town.
Why would one man require a response from such a powerful person? Why would Governor Perry even care about one Don Quixote-like figure plodding through the long stretches of nothingness? Why would the Houston Chronicle give its front page as a pulpit for a solitary nobody doing something so crazy? These questions have elusive answers, but those familiar with the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 60s are better equipped to make sense of them than most. Two clues are found in familiar phrases from that generation. "Unearned suffering is redemptive," which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. often said, and "You got to move," a favorite phrase of the Highlander Folk School—who trained Rosa Parks and others—have oriented my understanding of why a walk can be so powerful.
Following that motto, "You got to move," this spring break—from March 8th to the 16th—local educators and students, along with religious and civic leaders will walk 115 miles (13 miles each day for 9 days) from Roma to Brownsville as a form of nonviolent direct action. We invite you to partner with us in an alternative spring break, by following this link. http://www.mysignup.com/noborderwallwalk There you will make a commitment to participate and input your information. We will then contact you with the necessary details.
The purpose of this walk is to show support for local landowners who do not want to give the Army Corps of Engineers access to their property. These landowners are facing litigation by the U.S. Government, and are acting very courageously in spite of this threat. Many more landowners would resist the government if they knew they were supported. A second purpose is to gain the attention of the nation, especially during this election year.
Through today's New York Times,[3] land owner Eloisa Tamez's plan for resistance was shared with a national audience. Eloisa works closely with Jay Johnson-Castro in the fight to prevent this wall from segregating our community, but she isn't the only land owner along the proposed fence route. Now is the time to share her story, Jay's story, and spread the message of our collective struggle. Please join us and invite your friends, family, and neighbors to do the same.

A New Day in Brownsville
Posted by John Moore under activism, Besteiro Middle School, Civil Disobedience, dehumanization, human rights, humanity, immigration, love, Martin Luther King, Middle School, mlk, Monterrey, nonviolence, racism
Late last week, one of my students told me about the "mojaditos" being arrested in her neighborhood, still wet from the Rio Grande. She is a popular girl, is on the dance team, and earns straight A's. She is writing an essay for the Princeton University Martin Luther King Essay Contest about Martin Luther King and immigration, and her use of the word "mojaditos," sounding in my ears, created an ambivalent emotion.
In Spanish, Mojado means wet. Like the dehumanizing use of the English adjective "illegal" as a noun, mojado, when used as a noun, means "wet-back." Mojado is the word Antonio tells me he hears spit from the angry lips of Border Patrol officers. This is the word I hear a few students use to ridicule their classmates who, fresh from Mexico, speak so little English. Like the words joto and stupid, mojado is one of the many ways that my adolescent students, trapped in an age desperate for acceptance, exclude each other.
Mojadito, however, is a different kind of word. The suffix –ito means little, and often is used with fondness. While living in Monterrey, my darling Mari would affectionately call me her guerito (little white boy). Pobrecito is a fond way of saying, "my poor little baby." Mojadito, while derived from a racial slur, was being used by my student in a tender way. Her language and even her thoughts were confined by racial segregation, but at least her emotions were freely empathetic.
Before being thrown into Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King made the hard decision to break a city law in order to be imprisoned. He wrote about that decision in the chapter "A New Day in Birmingham":
"I intended to be one of the first to set the example of civil disobedience. Ten days after the demonstrations began, between four and five hundred people had gone to jail; some had been released on bail, but about three hundred remained. Now that the job of unifying the Negro community had been accomplished, my time had come. We decided that Good Friday, because of its symbolic significance, would be the day that Ralph Abernathy and I would present our bodies as personal witnesses to this crusade.
"Soon after we announced our intention to lead a demonstration on April 12 and submit to arrest, we received a message so distressing that it threatened to ruin the movement. Late Thursday night, the bondsman who had been furnishing bail for the demonstrators notified us that he would be unable to continue. The city had notified him that his financial assets were insufficient. Obviously, this was another move on the part of the city to hurt our cause.
"It was a serious blow. We had used up all the money we had on hand for cash bonds. There were our people in jail, for whom we had a moral responsibility. Fifty more were to go in with Ralph and me. This would be the largest single group to be arrested to date. Without bail facilities, how could we guarantee their eventual release?
"Good Friday morning, early, I sat in Room 30 of the Gaston Motel discussing this crisis with twenty-four key people. As we talked, a sense of doom began to pervade the room. I looked about me and sat that, for the first time, our most dedicated and devoted leaders were overwhelmed by a feeling of hopelessness. No one knew what to say, for no one knew what to do. Finally someone spoke up and, as he spoke, I could see that he was giving voice to what was on everyone's mind.
"'Martin,' he said, 'this means you can't go to jail. We need money. We need a lot of money. We need it now. You are the only one who has the contacts to get it. If you go to jail, we are lost. The battle of Birmingham is lost.'
"I sat there, conscious of twenty-four pairs of eyes. I thought about the people in jail. I thought about the Birmingham Negroes already lining the streets of the city, waiting to see me put into practice what I had so passionately preached. How could my failure now to submit to arrest be explained to the local community? What would be the verdict of the country about a man who had encouraged hundreds of people to make a stunning sacrifice and then excused himself?
"Then my mind began to race in the opposite direction. Suppose I went to jail? What would happen to the three hundred? Where would the money come from to assure their release? What would happen to our campaign? Who would be willing to follow us into jail, not knowing when or whether he would ever walk out once more into the Birmingham sunshine?
"I sat in the midst of the deepest quiet I have ever felt, with two dozen others in the room. There comes a time in the atmosphere of leadership when a man surrounded by loyal friends and allies realizes he has come face to face with himself. I was alone in that crowded room.
"I walked to another room in the back of the suite, and stood in the center of the floor. I think I was standing also at the center of all that my life had brought me to be. I thought of the twenty-four people, waiting in the next room. I thought of the three hundred, waiting in prison. I thought of the Birmingham Negro community, waiting. Then my mind leaped beyond the Gaston Motel, past the city jail, past city lines and state lines, and I thought of twenty million black people who dreamed that someday they might be able to cross the Red Sea of injustice and find their way to the Promised Land of integration and freedom. There was no more room for doubt.
"I pulled off my shirt and pants, got into work clothes and went back to the other room to tell them I had decided to go to jail.
"'I don't know what will happen; I don't know where the money will come from. But I have to make a faith act.'"
Today I received a news alert with the question, "Who will be the immigration movement's Martin Luther King?" I really think hundreds of people have asked themselves this exact question in the past two years. I don't have an answer, but the passage I just quoted highlights, for me, the qualities as well as the quandary. Princeton University is asking a very similar question to middle and high school students right now. They essentially ask the question, "What would Martin Luther King say if he were to attend an immigration rally today?" (http://www.princeton.edu/mlk/essay).
When Dr. King faced himself in an instant of introspection instigated by the loneliness of leadership, he realized that his life led him to the decision he was making. And he realized that he could make no other decision than to trust in God, in his sense of history and morality, and choose to act in faith.
What made this decision so difficult for Dr. King was the fact that no bail could be provided for the three hundred in jail and that unless he stayed out of jail and tried to secure funding, they would likely remain in jail for a significant period of time. This is perfectly applicable to our situation with unjust immigration restrictions because arrested immigrants are not given bail. Not only that, but they aren't often given jail sentences; they are most often deported.
Undoubtedly, the act of turning oneself in to an ICE agent as an unauthorized immigrant in an act of nonviolent civil disobedience requires a greater courage and a greater conviction than even the greatest generation of Americans—the civil rights activists struggling nonviolently against segregation—faced. Will my thirteen-year-old student, newly empathetic for the mojaditos, find the kind of courage that Dr. King found? Will any of my students? Will their lives lead them to a similarly defining moment where they even have the tools to ask the questions Dr. King did?
While writing this, I see, for the first time, the potential for the level of heroism of my friend, Marlene Flowers, in my students. She was about the same age as my 8th graders when she was first arrested for violating a city bus segregation statute. I met Marlene as an energetic grandmother with a résumé that included fifty-four such arrests. Her powerful presence makes it difficult to imagine that first arrest. Even harder for me is to imagine her before that first arrest, before the idea of nonviolent civil disobedience first germinated in her brain and resonated in her soul. But I now wonder if she looked a little unsure, excitable, and even scared, like so many of my students. Resolving to civilly disobey an unjust law is certainly distinct from changing the way we feel about some other law-breaker, but moving our hearts from mojado to mojadito might mean a heart agape enough to eventually find morality and courage and charity (agapé) enough to bring about a new era of human rights in the United States. Today my hope is that it represents a new day in Brownsville, for at least that one student.
The Border Crossed Us
Posted by Matthew Webster under activism, border patrol, Border Wall, citizenship, criminalizing immigration, economics, human rights, immigration, law, Martin Luther King, nonviolence
"The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin [read disobedience] increased, grace increased all the more." Romans 5:20 NIV
With the advent of a nation-based quota system in 1924, many immigrants found themselves found themselves on the wrong side of a new law. Because of the quota system, it became illegal for many Mexicans to cross a border which was less than 80 years old. As the popular slogan states, "We didn't cross the border, the border crossed us." Many immigrants who had been pouring in legally were obstructed, and these quotas failed to take into account the growing and dynamic needs of our country and the globalizing world. With the creation of more laws, there will inevitably be more criminals, not necessarily more peace.
The United States of America must soon decide whether it wants to continue waging the costly and ultimately self-defeating war it has been waging against immigration. The border wall, estimated at $4-8 billion dollars, and the President's proposed $13 billion for Border Security are huge costs to stave off a necessary immigrant pool. Just yesterday, the first Baby Boomer cashed her Social Security check; at a time like this, we should be encouraging young, qualified immigrants. Who else will foot the bill for our millions of retirees?
Immigrants have always been the lifeblood of our economy, and that is no different in today's world. In fact, immigrants are even more important in today's economy. Immigrants bring the world economy and global competition within our borders. At a time when America is ceding its position to China and the EU as the world's prime economic regulator, our nation must realize that it is far better to bring people into our country than to export business outside our country. For years, our production companies have been sending jobs and values overseas. Immigrants are the main reason many key "American" industries are still profitable and still centered in the continental U.S. To continue criminalizing immigrants is to ignore the rough lessons of globalization and to accept a position as an economy in decline.
Our nation is bogged down with the expense and legislation of fighting a battle that we must not and should not wish to win. China is just now re-emerging as a true world power after years of shutting its doors and walling in its borders. With its new legislation, the United States appears to be turning back the clock and starting down that same path of isolationism and xenophobia.
These are the economic and legislative reasons our nation must opt against the continued criminalization of immigrants. What follows are ideas for ways in which to nonviolently voice opposition to this philosophy. As Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote in "New Day in Birmingham" from his book Why We Can't Wait, "It is terribly difficult to wage such a battle without the moral support of the national press to counteract the hostility of local editors." (53) This tenet still holds true. Save for a few feature stories and the publicity surrounding the May Day protests 2 years ago, the media has been largely silent or silenced on this subject. It is the duty of the active citizenry, both legal and criminalized, to inform our nation's media sources about the true heart of the immigration issue. If every informed reader would take genuine concern and write an OP-ED piece to his local newspaper or her college newspaper, this issue would again become the conversation piece it was before it was voted down in our nation's lawmakers. If concerned citizens in our nation's borderlands and cities would write articles or suggest immigrant stories to editors, newspapers and magazines would cover these stories because their readership demands it.
As I write, Mayor Ahumada in Brownsville, TX, is seeking to impose a court injunction against the construction of an unsightly, ineffective, and retrogressive border fence. Whereas in the times of Martin Luther King, Jr., the court injunctions were resisting positive changes in the realm of civil rights, this court injunction and others like it are seeking to use legal means to stop our country from continuing to make an unwise decision. Support for his efforts, and the efforts of all politicians and attorneys who are fighting for immigrant rights, is much needed at this time of dire urgency.
It is time for all God's people to echo with one voice that anti-immigrant laws and quotas are immoral and retrogressive. It is time to say "Basta! Quotas were a bad idea in the 20s, and they are just as bad now." We cannot afford to put this off until the next election. We must not just "sit" on this issue, because it is the backbone of our nation's future. While 12 million illegal immigrants work and reside in this country without rights or legitimacy, none of us can rest assured of our inalienable rights. While 12 million "illegal" immigrants remain unjailed, unprosecuted, unprotected and disrespected, we must ask ourselves and our politicians if our nation can long endure with this many working citizens on the wrong side of such a law. If illegal aliens can be alienated because of an unjust quota system, then the very rights of citizenship itself are unjust. We must work in every facet and every means to nonviolently inform, persuade, and insist on true immigration reform. Our country desperately needs to rediscover grace.

Post-Production Supervisor for IBM Events, 2014 - 2018
In addition to my role as Lead Video Editor for IBM's Marketing Services Center in New York, I was charged with overseeing the post-production process for some of the largest conferences IBM has to offer. Providing conference sessions as on-demand replays, preparing talks for mock-live broadcast, and archiving videos with in-house accessibility, I worked closely with the IBM Events and external production teams. Establishing clear communication and direction with my team of editors, I created a process and workflow to ensure up-to-date edits and fast turnarounds.

Web Designer / Social Media Strategist / Consultant, 2014
Multi-platinum songwriter Shelly Peiken, best known for Christina Aguilera's "What a Girl Wants" and the Grammy nominated hit, "Bitch," performed by Meredith Brooks, needed an online presence. She wanted to manage her own content, but, overwhelmed by the social media landscape, she wasn't sure where to begin. We spoke at great length and began with the design of her website. I chose Squarespace for its user-friendly interface and 24/7 support, which I knew would be important to Shelly once the site was live and our training sessions were complete. At the time, Instagram was trailing Facebook in popularity. I didn't want to add to her overwhelm so we capped off at Facebook and Twitter pages giving her time to plant her feet in the social media world before taking on new platforms. Over the course of a few months, we covered everything from the how-to of creating posts, frequency, and garnering engagement to knowing when it's time to just step away from the screen.
Educational Television Supervisor, 2004 - 2012
After accepting the newly created position of Educational Television Supervisor at Greenburgh Central School District No. 7 in 2004, I was given an office, a consumer video camera, and a plastic tripod. When tasked with building a video department, I was ready with a vision that would lead the district to the 21st century by providing facilities, equipment, programs, and services that support media literacy education.
By 2012, I worked with an assistant in the new educational media center in the middle/high school. We trained teachers and students in digital video production both in and after school. We produced, shot and edited productions in our new television studio and out in the field. Programs were broadcast from our office on a dedicated educational access channel. Middle and high school students brought cameras home (and returned them intact) and brought their footage back to edit on Final Cut Pro. Fourth, fifth and sixth graders learned how to shoot a close-up, hold a boom and edit on Final Cut Express. Game shows were made, film festivals had and pizza parties thrown.

Video dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Dubrovka tragedy
Every year on the website we list information appearing in the media on the anniversary of the tragic events. This year we decided to depart from this tradition, since all national media outlets ran articles on the remembrance date. The below is far from being a complete list of programs and articles linked to their original sources. This information is divided into three parts: video, film and audio.
I. VIDEO
PERVIY KANAL (CHANNEL ONE)
"Nord-Ost — 10 years later" on the "Let Them Talk" television program, broadcast October 18th, 2012. 'Nord-Ost' hostages in the studio talk of whom they thank for their rescue and how they have lived over the last ten years.
Experts on the show: Yelena Mizulina, chairman of the Duma committee for family, women, children Yevgeniy Achkasov, member of the Russian public council, Natalya Karpovich, attorney and social activist, Sergei Goncharov, deputy chairman of the security committee for the Moscow city Duma, Franz Klintsevich, deputy chairman of the Russian defense committee, Anna Shafran, radio broadcaster, Viktor Erofeyev, writer, Alexei Filatov, vice-president of the 'Alpha' veterans group.
"Central Television", broadcast October 21st, 2012.
The people who spent two days in the booby-trapped auditorium at the Dubrovka theatrical center bomb remember the horrors.
"KOMSOMOLSKAYA PRAVDA" TV
"Nord-Ost. 10 years later. Eyewitnesses to the tragedy." Program broadcast October 24th, 2012.
In the studio: Former 'Nord-Ost' hostages and relatives of deceased victims Igor Trunov, attorney for the victims and relatives of the deceased victims, Alla Danko, announcer for "Central Television", An 'Alpha' security force group veteran, as well as some OMON (SWAT) team policemen who participated in the storming of the theater, Andrei Baranov, deputy editor of the policy for «Komsomolskaya Pravda».
The program includes exclusive footage and unique interviews with Joseph Kobzon, Italian journalist Roberto Scarfone, security force group veterans, and much more. In it we try to get answers to the main questions: was it possible to prevent the terrorist attack, why was an assault needed, and why people who survived 'Nord-Ost' are still searching for the truth.
"DOZHD" (RAIN) TV
"THE DZYADKO 3" (Tikhon, Timofey, and Filipp Dzyadko) television program, broadcast October 25th, 2012: "Nord-Ost — 10 years later: questions without answers". Journalist Mark Franchetti, witness to the tragic events at Dubrovka, enumerates the main questions that still remain unanswered.
"RAIN MAN" program, broadcast October 26th, 2012: ""Nord-Ost — a mystery for Russia, just as the Kennedy assassination for the U.S."
Svetlana Gubareva – the former 'Nord-Ost' hostage lost her 13-year-old daughter on that day, as well as her fiancé. In an interview with journalist Mark Franchetti, Svetlana tells how for 10 years she has been fighting for the right to know the truth about the terrible tragedy: the terrorist attack at Dubrovka and guilt of the Russian security services in the incident.
VIDEO BY RADIO "SVOBODA" (FREEDOM)
"On the verge" program, broadcast October 22nd, 2012: "Who should answer for 'Nord-Ost'?" Dmitry Milovidov, father of two Dubrovka hostages and activist for the 'Nord-Ost' organization, talks how relatives of the victims plan to continue to fight for the truth that has been covered up by the authorities.
"Beyond Nord-Ost", broadcast October 24th, 2012.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDvN2AiX5oE&feature=youtu.be
One is struck by the lies in this unprofessional film, such as:
"From the top of this granite stele three swans soar into the heavens, taking with them the 135 souls that perished in the terrorist attack on Dubrovka…" – actually the stele depicts cranes, and there were 130 dead.
"The single aim of their actions was the collapse of the nation…" – in reality, they stated that their goal was the end of the war; the war was ended anyway, but only much later.
"There were eighteen, eighteen female suicide bombers…" – even according to official data, there were 19 (though I saw with my own eyes 23 female suicide bombers).
"Arbi Barayev didn't want to talk with anyone…" – but how could he, if was killed on June 23rd, 2001, more than a year before the hostage-taking in Moscow?
There are plenty of other "pearls" in this video, but there is no point is listing them all. The "crowning creation" of this video could be considered the long ago refuted fabrication, that the hostages were slowly dying from the lack of food, water, and sleep.
