    An American Traitor: Guilty As Charged By Henry Mark Holzer and Erika HolzerFrontPageMagazine.com | June 10, 2005For three decades Jane Fonda obfuscated, distorted and lied about virtually everything connected with her wartime trip to North Vietnam: her motive, her acts, her intent, and her contribution to the Communists’ war effort.  With the aid of clever handlers, she so successfully suppressed and spun her conduct in Hanoi that many Americans didn’t know what she had done there, and, more important, the legal significance. Three years ago, our book, “Aid and Comfort”: Jane Fonda in North Vietnam (McFarland & Co.), laid bare...

Pour une fois, je le fais suivre afin de faire réagir et réflechir sur le pouvoir du boycottage (ce quela tête ne veut pas comprendre, le porte-monnaie le comprend très vite !) Pour ma part, j'utilise déjà cette arme depuis longtemps. Si au niveau individuel cette arme n'a d'autre portée que celle de l'éthique personnelle, au niveau national ou international, elle peut infléchir les décisions.

    A top investment bank has warned ExxonMobil that being tarred with the label of "environmental enemy number one" is a risk to its business. Deutsche Bank says investors should be worried about the Greenpeace-backed StopEsso campaign. The research note, published by Deutsche's Edinburgh-based energy team, has been seized on by Greenpeace as evidence that its campaign against the world's number one oil company is having a serious impact. Greenpeace has claimed that one million motorists are boycotting Esso petrol stations in Britain as a protest against Exxon's apparent unwillingness to take global warming seriously. In Deutsche's view Exxon's shares remain...

    ExxonMobil, the world's largest oil company, yesterday won the first round of a bad-tempered legal battle designed to bring a halt to Greenpeace's Sto pEsso campaign. The result in Paris sent a shiver through the anti-corporate campaign sector which feared the judgment could encourage other companies to resort to legal action. Exxon was awarded an injunction that Greenpeace cease use of an Esso logo with dollar signs scrawled through it pending a full hearing. The environmental group has four working days to remove the offending logo from its website or face fines of €5,000 (£3,000) though this was considerably less...

    Claire Cozens Tuesday June 25, 2002 The oil giant Exxon Mobil is suing Greenpeace for misusing its corporate logo after the environmental pressure group replaced the two "S" letters in Esso with dollar signs. Exxon, the oil giant that owns the Esso brand, is claiming Greenpeace's "Stop E$$o" campaign is illegal and harmful to the company's reputation. It has applied for an injunction in the French courts that would force Greenpeace to remove the doctored logo from its campaign website. Esso France, which launched the suit, has also claimed Greenpeace is attempting to draw a connection between Esso and "the...
