'Lost tribe' discovered on Brazil-Peru border - 30 May 08

2008-10-24T09:30:28Z

Paul Allen reports on one of the world's last remaining lost tribes.

Brazil's Government has released pictures of a previously unseen community of people living in the Amazonian rain forest.

It is believed they have never had previous contact with the outside world.

They were located on the remote border between Brazil and Peru.

The footage was taken from the air by Funai, a Brazilian government foundation, dedicated to the protection of lost tribes.

Funai has a policy to not contact tribes similar to this one, and instead try to prevent invasions of their land so they remain autonomous.

But the agency warns the tribe, and others like it believed to be living in the Amazon, that they are at risk from illegal logging.

Translating McCain: Quotes from Wake Forest University 4

2008-11-23T00:48:20Z

Judicial Restraint:

What he said:

"I will look for accomplished men and women with a proven record of excellence in the law, and a proven commitment to judicial restraint."

What he means:

"The judges I support will sit on their hands when it comes to any conservative laws, regulations, or precedents they come across, but will knock down any progressive law they find."

Translating McCain: Quotes from Wake Forest University 5

2008-11-23T00:48:20Z

Legislating from the bench:

What he said:

"The moral authority of our judiciary depends on judicial self-restraint, but this authority quickly vanishes when a court presumes to make law instead of apply it."

What he means:

"I support conservative nominees who as judges won't lift a finger to stand up for the rights of ordinary people or open the courthouse door to all Americans, but who will be quick to strike down massive portions of the Clean Water Act, school desegregation programs, consumer protections, or equal pay laws because they feel like it."

Translating McCain: Quotes from Wake Forest University

2008-11-23T00:48:21Z

Supreme Court Justices:

What he said:

"Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito... would serve as the model for my own nominees."

What he means:

"George Bush gave you two ultra-conservative Justices with lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court. And I supported him every step of the way." These justices wrote or supported rulings that:

* cut back on federal laws that protect our water from pollution
* denied equal pay to a factory worker who had been paid less than men doing the same job
* restricted women's ability to make their own reproductive health decisions
* allowed schools to restrict students' speech, even when they weren't on campus
* made it harder for school districts to promote racial diversity in their schools

The Founding Fathers:

What he said:

"Always hanging in the air over these tense confirmation battles is the suspicion that maybe, just maybe, a nominee for the Court will dare to be faithful to the clear intentions of the framers and to the actual meaning of the Constitution."

What he means:

"I support judges who'll do what the far right-wing of my party wants them to do."

Wal-Mart turns a blind eye to illegal timber sources

2008-02-26T13:44:35Z

Al Norman writes on AlterNet:

According to EIA, Wal-Mart does not ask its suppliers where their wood comes from, and the retailer's 'don't ask' policy "is having particularly dangerous consequences for the high conservation value forest of the Russian Far East and the endangered species dependent on them, including the world's largest cat, the Siberian tiger.
Roughly 84 percent of Wal-Mart's wood products, like cribs and toilet seats, are sourced from China, and much of China's lumber is imported from Russia, where as much as 50 percent of the logging is illegal. EIA undercover investigators met with 8 Chinese manufacturers that supply Wal-Mart with wood. EIA asserts that Wal-Mart is focused only on price, and "has not concerned itself with the origin of the timber used for its products." Wal-Mart's supply chain "will contribute to the depletion of Russia's 'protected' forests unless concerted changes are made," the EIA warns.
Alexander von Bismarck, the Executive Director of EIA, says, "To have Wal-Mart ignore measures that to the rest of the world seem common sense -- such as asking where your suppliers' wood is from -- has an enormous impact. It undermines the current global efforts to clean up the timber industry. When Wal-Mart fails to implement an entire category of environmental responsibility, it creates demand designed to take advantage of that. This is currently feeding the illegal logging problem." The EIA believes that Wal-Mart has within its power the ability to "limit the destruction of some of our planet's final frontier forests and the wildlife and people who depend upon them."
Today, there are more than 6,800 Wal-Mart stores around the globe (the company recently opened its 3,000th international store), but only 400 remaining Siberian tigers. That's not very sustainable odds.

Yungas Rainforest, Argentina — Jaguars are tree climbers, but there is no federal law to protecting their forest - so our activists have taken to the trees themselves. Dressed as jaguars, they're camped in the treetops of the Yungas in a bid to block the bulldozers until a federal law can be passed.
