#OCCUPYAIPAC
Posted in: UncategorizedTime to stop the bully.
From Adbusters Blog
This week marks a new geopolitical direction for the Occupy movement. As the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference unfolds until March 6, AIPACers will be greeted by the ongoing scores of occupiers who have descended on Capitol Hill. AIPAC is the 1% of American foreign policy; they’re the eyes, ears, nose and mouth of America’s generals, politicians and economic elite. At #OccupyAIPAC they come face to face with the 99%. Read about it here:
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has contributed to a disastrous American course in the Middle East and will be back at it this week in Washington, D.C. Self-described as a “pro-Israel lobby” whose goal is to “enact public policy that enhances the U.S.-Israel relationship,” the organization has enhanced this relationship while simultaneously making the region far more dangerous. More than ever in this election year with Republicans calling for the bombing of Iran and candidate Newt Gingrich claiming Palestinians are an “invented” people, AIPAC has the US Congress and presidential candidates in its thrall. Yet this year’s AIPAC policy conference in Washington, D.C. is more controversial than ever as Occupy activists seek to highlight the role of big-money lobbyists in elections while standing in solidarity with the global 99% opposed to Israel’s violations of human rights and international law.
Each year at AIPAC’s policy conference in Washington, D.C., the president, powerful senators and members of Congress parade across the stage in order to prove their loyalty to the Israeli government. AIPAC’s outsized influence on U.S. foreign policy can be linked to the disastrous war in Iraq, as well as to the current push for an attack on Iran. AIPAC is also known for drafting extreme anti-Palestinian, anti-human rights legislation that it then funnels into Congress. AIPAC Director Howard Kohr will likely appear on stage this March at the 2012 AIPAC conference to make the annual roll call, rattling off the names of congressional representatives, diplomats and dignitaries present in the room as if he is the auctioneer at an estate sale. And in a way, he is.

Eu não tenho filhos, mas já passei pela situação de querer tirar fotos do meu cachorro e o puto não olhar pra câmera.
Pois é. Parece que que tem filhos passa por isso também.
Esse app se propõe a resolver isso.
Você continua apontando a câmera do seu iPhone pro seu bebe, mas na tela que fica virada para você, 5 opções de som que chamam a atenção da criança.
Coisa simples, mas daquelas geniais, que não entendemos porque algumas marcas não fizeram ainda.
Está disponível na app store por US$ 0.99.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/baby-pic/id500959861?mt=8
O app foi desenvolvido por uma dupla brasileira, a PunkOpera. Rafael Gaino, programador que mora em São Francisco e Cassiano Saldanha, diretor de criação da RG/A aqui em São Paulo. Parabéns e viva o no-brief.
