    dDamage Title: Shimmy Shimmy Blade Label: Tsunami-Addiction Release date: 6 Novembre 2006 Distribution: Discograph Both Hanak brothers, known under the name of dDamage, play an indescribable electronic music, violent and melodic at the same time, juggling with hip-hop beats, riffs of guitars and heat of analog synths. With tended flow, their music lets appear a rare sensitivity, skilfully camouflaged behind intense “boom tchack” of modern cruelty. After two long years of intense work, these terrible children of the electronic music bring out again from the studios with a fortnight tracks, on which are invited the crême of the independent hip-hop scene. We can find Bigg Jus there (former member of the legendary new Yorkean band Company Flow) and his comparse Orko Eloheim (NMS / Project Blowed) for two on-vitaminized tracks, overloaded of intergalactic synths. Dose One, leader of the bands Subtle and Clouddead, makes his appearance beside the emblematic figures of French hip hop,TTC , in an opera of digital maths-rock. Mike Ladd rewards us with a featuring full of rapologic brick breakage, botching the walls of samples with blows of punchlines with a detonating force. We can also see Tes (Lex Records), feeling at ease on dynamic rock’ n roll, then teletransported in Zapp&Rogers’ talk-box. Also Crunc Tesla, Atlanta’s crunky south based rapper, posing his flow in a war of synthetic violins and vibrating basses. Or Stacs of Stamina, in an exercise of zigzag where the beats take sometimes the shape of anti-personal mines. dDamage leaves then rifles to pump, on the explosive “S.I.N.” track, where the dance is carried out by the rapper Sin, Sizzerb member affiliated with the new Yorkean scene Dipset/Diplomats.

It doesn't. After years of surveil- lance, harassment, two major raids and property seizures, and numerous grand jury subpoenas, the U.S. Department of Justice continues to place pressure on the press office to shut down. They don't seem to be having much luck. Another step that the protectors of the state and commerce have taken is to have the Federal Bureau of Investigation clas- sify the ELF as a domestic terrorism group. In fact the F.B.I. has referred to the ELF as the leading domestic terrorism threat in the United States. This classification allowed height- ened surveillance and investigative techniques to be legally used against the ELF. In addition this move by the F.B.I. allowed the formal creation of Joint Terrorism Task Forces in most larger urban areas throughout the U.S. One example is below. On November 25, 2000 the NAELFPO received notice that a terrorism task force had been approved in Portland, Oregon by the City Council.

  • Thesis Writing Deliverables (Pdf)
    DEFENSE SPEECH Discovering and listening to music has always been my biggest passion in life and my primary way of coping with my emotions. I think its main appeal to me since childhood has been the comfort it brings in knowing that at some point in time, another human felt the same thing as me and was able to survive and express it by making something beautiful. For my project, I recorded a 9 track album called Strange Machines while I was on leave of absence last year. This term, I created a 20 minute extended music video to accompany it. All of this lives on a page I coded on my personal website with some fun bonus content that I’ll scroll through at the end of this presentation. I’ll put the link in the comments so anyone who’s interested can check it out at their own pace. I have so much fun making music and feel proud when I have a cohesive finished product at the end. I’m not interested in becoming a virtuoso musician or a professional producer. A lot of trained musicians gatekeep, intimidate, and discourage amateurs. People mystify and mythologize the creative process as if it’s the product of some elusive, innate genius rather than practice, experimentation, and a simple love of music. As someone who’s work exists entirely as digital recordings, there’s no inherent reason for me to be an amazing guitar player who can play a song perfectly all the way through, as mistakes can be easily cut out and re-recorded.

  • Ecoterrorism: Environmental and Animal-Rights Militants in the United States
    UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 07 May 2008 UNIVERSAL ADVERSARY DYNAMIC THREAT ASSESSMENT Ecoterrorism: Environmental and Animal-Rights Militants in the United States EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The term ecological terrorists,1 or ecoterrorists, refers to those individuals who independently and/or in concert with others engage in acts of violence and employ tactics commonly associated with terrorism to further their sociopolitical agenda aimed at animal and/or environmental protection. The ecoterrorist movement is a highly decentralized transnational network bound and driven by common ideological constructs that provide philosophical and moral justification for acts of violence against what it perceives to be the destructive encroachment of modern society on the planet’s habitat and its living organisms.2 The ecoterrorist movement represents the fringe element of the broader ecological and animal- rights community that argues that the traditional methods of conserving and preserving the Earth are insufficient, and is willing to use violence as the principal method of the planet’s defense against anyone “guilty” of exploiting and destroying the Earth. (U//FOUO) The overall strength of the movement is impossible to determine given that individuals who take part in ecoterrorist activities generally lack a common profile and exercise a high level of operational security. Nonetheless, ecoterrorists are known to have a global presence and are particularly active in the industrialized West (North America and Western Europe). In the continental United States (CONUS), militant ecological and animal-rights activists are geographically dispersed and operate in both urban and rural settings. The movement has demonstrated a great deal of tactical and strategic sophistication.
