Slingshots vs Helicopters pt1


http://www.culturesofresistance.org/
On the night of Sunday, May 30, showing a terrifying disregard for human life, Israeli naval forces surrounded and boarded ships sailing to bring humanitarian aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip. On the largest ship, the Mavi Marmara, Israeli commandos opened fire on civilian passengers, killing at least 9 passengers and wounding dozens more. Others are still missing. The final death toll is yet to be determined. Cultures of Resistance director Iara Lee was aboard the besieged ship and has since returned home safely.

Despite the Israeli government's thorough efforts to confiscate all footage taken during the attack, Iara Lee was able to retain some of her recordings. Above is 15 minutes of footage from the moments leading up to and during the Israeli commandos' assault on the Mavi Marmara.

CC 8

Stony Littleton Long Barrow, Nr Wellow. Somerset

Stuart Dike has visited the location, and stated it seems to have been there for quite while with the crop turning green. Very hard to photograph on the ground but might look OK from the air. More info here. Stuart is still at the site filming it. He seems to think it is looking more interesting than he originally thought. Also he tells me the location with the Neolithic tomb and Long Barrow beside it is very atmospheric indeed. We can not wait to see the ground shots. He has to go back home before he can send them in to the Connector. (Time written nearly 3pm).

Latest update It looks like some sort of creature with a tail of diminishing circles. Stuart is finding this formation extremely interesting. He is still filming.

We talk about how amazing crop formations are throughout the season, well this location at Stony Littleton Long Barrow is quite stunning. The whole atmosphere on top of the hillside next to the ancient burial chamber has to be experienced. What is quite amazing also is this formation is in young beans of Flax? Its quite unusual, and I am at a loss to indentify it. I have never experienced a formation in this type of crop before, and thought at first glance it was old Canola. The crop is only three feet high, however it does have a yellow flower. Overall the floor construction is extremely neat, with some breakage. The plants are quite well flattened and will not recover. Design has a creature element. More to follow.
