  • PO Box 1151, Lake Worth, FL 33460 (561)
    DEDICATED TO PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS OCTOBER 17, 2018 Dear HRDC Supporter, Every year we conduct an annual fundraiser in the fall because our income from magazine subscriptions and book sales does not cover the expenses for all the advocacy work we do on behalf of prisoners, their families and the victims of police state violence and exploitation. We receive very little in the way of foundation funding and rely on individual donors—people Still shot from American Jail, a 2018 CNN film by Academy like you—who can and do make a difference by donating to the Award-winning director Roger Ross Williams exploring the forces that fuel America's sprawling prison system. Human Rights Defense Center. We have had a very busy year. Last December we launched a new magazine, Criminal Legal News, to expand our news coverage of the criminal justice system from beginning to end; less than a year later, CLN already has close to 1,500 subscribers! Our social media presence on Twitter, Facebook and our daily e-newsletter continues to grow as we expand our advocacy reach. We also launched a new public records and government transparency project. But publishing is not enough. We want to make sure that all our readers, especially those in prisons and jails, can receive and read the magazines we publish and the books we distribute. Since the very first issue of PLN was published in May 1990, we have faced censorship by government officials who are not pleased with our coverage of the criminal justice system. To date, none have been as fanatical in their censorship as the Florida Department of Corrections (FDOC).

  • United Nations Environmental Program Archive of E-Articles 2009
    United Nations Environmental Program Archive of E-Articles 2009 January 5, 2009 Green Bible Stirs Evangelical Concerns By Ginger D. Richardson Gannett News Service In this day and age, you can buy a Bible aimed at almost any demographic imaginable: toddlers, teenage girls, and recovering addicts. But it's the recently published Green Bible that is causing a stir in the religious community. Supporters of the book, which highlights verses related to what believers call "God's creation" and God's desire for humans to protect it, say they hope it will encourage more Christians to embrace environmentalism. "In every book of the Bible, there are references to the world and how we should take care of it," said Rusty Pritchard, editor of Creation Care Magazine, an eco-friendly publication for evangelicals. "When you look at it through that lens, it really jumps out at you ... that God is calling us to care for the world around us." But others fear the new Bible, which has been endorsed by secular groups such as the Sierra Club and the Humane Society, will mislead Christians. "I am concerned that many who call themselves Christians, or intend to speak for Christianity, don't interpret the Bible literally," said James Taylor, a founding elder and Sunday school teacher at Living Water Christian Fellowship in Palmetto, Fla. "These groups don't have a religious focus; they have a desire to spread their environmental message." Taylor, who is also a senior fellow of environmental policy at the Heartland Institute, a conservative Chicago-based think tank, said there is a healthy amount of skepticism among mainstream evangelicals toward the new Bible.

    Case 1:14-cv-00019-CRC Document 79 Filed 03/31/17 Page 1 of 29 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA RYAN NOAH SHAPIRO, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 1:14-CV-00019 (CRC) CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, et. al., Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION Doctoral student Ryan Shapiro wants to know if the United States government was complicit in Nelson Mandela’s arrest and imprisonment by South Africa’s apartheid-era regime. To that end, Shapiro filed Freedom of Information Act requests with the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the Department of Defense’s Defense Intelligence Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation seeking virtually every document in their sprawling files that mentions or references Mandela. After refusing to narrow his request in any meaningful way, Shapiro has filed suit challenging each agency’s response. The Court has previously ruled on motions filed by the CIA and NSA, and they, along with the DIA, continue to review and release responsive records. Now before the Court is a motion to dismiss or, alternatively, for summary judgment filed by the FBI, and a cross-motion for summary judgment filed by Shapiro. Shapiro raises a laundry list of objections to the FBI’s search and non-disclosure of responsive material under a variety of FOIA exemptions. For the reasons explained below, the Court will uphold the large majority of the challenged withholdings, but will reserve judgment in part and deny judgment in part to each side with respect to several withholdings whose appropriateness remains in dispute. Case 1:14-cv-00019-CRC Document 79 Filed 03/31/17 Page 2 of 29 I.

  • NSA Spied on Its Own Employees, Other U.S. Intelligence Personnel, Journalists, and Members of Congress
    NSA spied on its own employees, other U.S. intelligence personnel, journalists, and members of Congress By Wayne Madsen Region: USA Global Research, December 29, 2005 Theme: Police State & Civil Rights Wayne Madsen Report 29 December 2005 NSA spied on its own employees, other U.S. intelligence personnel, and their journalist and congressional contacts. WMR has learned that the National Security Agency (NSA), on the orders of the Bush administration, eavesdropped on the private conversations and e-mail of its own employees, employees of other U.S. intelligence agencies — including the CIA and DIA — and their contacts in the media, Congress, and oversight agencies and offices. The journalist surveillance program, code named “Firstfruits,” was part of a Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) program that was maintained at least until October 2004 and was authorized by then-DCI Porter Goss. Firstfruits was authorized as part of a DCI “Countering Denial and Deception” program responsible to an entity known as the Foreign Denial and Deception Committee (FDDC). Since the intelligence community’s reorganization, the DCI has been replaced by the Director of National Intelligence headed by John Negroponte and his deputy, former NSA director Gen. Michael Hayden. Firstfruits was a database that contained both the articles and the transcripts of telephone and other communications of particular Washington journalists known to report on sensitive U.S. intelligence activities, particularly those involving NSA. According to NSA sources, the targeted journalists included author James Bamford, the New York Times’ James Risen, the Washington Post’s Vernon Loeb, the New Yorker’s Seymour Hersh, the Washington Times’ Bill Gertz, UPI’s John C.
