George Friedman, CEO of Stratfor is having a book signing. If you are unfamiliar with Statfor, I will include some links below in this message.
I realize we are working on short notice, but I hope as a team, SF can make something happen. It would be great to see people protesting outside the book signing with signs, bullhorns, and our usual.
Also, it would be lovely to get some footage, (both pictures and video. SF has such a great media team!) of the Q&A session.
We would need some people who are familiar with Statfor and/or people who can read up on it and ask George some of the uncomfortable questions publicly.
At his signing in Austin TX, people asked him why he took money from Dow chemical to spy on victims of the Bhopal disaster, why did he cooperate with the FBI and allow his company to be hacked.
He tried to explain Stratfors actions by saying Jeremy altered nearly 5 million emails lol. Funny since they were in the hands of the Feds.
The 1st link I'm going to share with you explains exactly what Stratfor was up to and how dangerous they are to the activism community.
If you are familiar with Jeremy Hammond, or Barrett Brown (who was just sentenced to 63 months in jail FOR POSTING A LINK). Watch out journalists. The govt is trying to send a message about how they can infringe on your rights!
