Hillary Clinton’s Statement to the OSCE Regarding Arrests of Natasha Lennard and Other Journalists During Occupy Wall Street Protests


On October 1, 2011, Natasha Lennard, then a freelancer for the New York Times, was arrested covering the Occupy Wall Street protests. Her arrest was just one of many arrests of journalists that have occurred since Occupy Wall Street started. 

These arrests sparked a widespread outcry about the sanctity of journalists. Among the parties that expressed their concern was Europe’s last remaining autocracy Belarus. Belarus took the matter to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. This prompted Hillary Clinton to issue the statement  below:

FBI, Department of Justice Lie About Having WikiLeaks Records


In late 2011, a FOIA request was submitted to the FBI for all its records on WikiLeaks. The FBI responded that it had no records. Not believing the FBI’s response, a FOIA appeal was submitted to the Department of Justice Office of Information Policy which upheld the FBI’s search and its findings. 

Still disbelieving the FBI/DOJ responses, a FOIA request was submitted to the Department of Justice Office of Information Policy for its records regarding the aforementioned appeal. The DOJ OIP responded and reveals that not only does the FBI have WikiLeaks records, but the FBI/DOJ lied about having records. WikiLeaks’ records are tucked away in other files, thus are considered for cross-references and not responsive because the request was for “all records” and didn’t use the magic words “cross-references.”

Is the DIA Monitoring Media Coverage of the Bradley Manning Support Network


In response to a FOIA request seeking the Defense Intelligence Agency’s records on the Bradley Manning Support Network, it appears that the DIA is monitoring media coverage of the Bradley Manning Support Network. DIA refusal to release their copies of media coverage makes it impossible to confirm, but the DIA has been shown to have its own collection of Bradley Manning Support Network media reports as well as media reports culled from the NSA and the CIA.

Plan-C: Coke Douching (Updated)


I learned this weekend that “Coke- douching” was once a practiced form of folklore contraception here in the United States. As this 12/8/1985 Chicago Tribune article on the right reports, science has shown there is some basis in fact for this home remedy as Coca-Cola Classic is an "effective" spermicide. However, the scientists involved with the study don’t recommend this form of birth control due to the speed with which sperm can move out of the vagina.

Left unmentioned is the proper form of douching with Coca-Cola.  I presume one tips back the woman’s legs and pours it in to ensure maximum coverage, sperm killing, and effectiveness. However, that is speculation on my part. If anyone knows from a similar study or personal experience, drop us a line and I'll update this article.

And we have an update. Someone saw my article on Twitter and providing the following information. Apparently "Coke-douching" performed by shaking it up and spraying it in.

As for the rest of her comments:

A)This was a form of birth control, however ineffective or distasteful we find it today.
B) I care little for the "stupid crowd" or its fate.
C) Effectiveness is a matter of opinion.
