Why was this kind of anti-progressive crap allowed to stand by a 2-4 jury vote? (Full disclosure, I did alert this.) Sheesh, not even a seven-person jury would solve this! One juror wrote, "I think hiding this would constitute unnecessary censorship. No action." Another "leave it alone" juror, "meh".
The movement was founded by Luke Rudkowski, an arrogant attention seeking crank armed with a video camera ready to ridicule the American sheeple over their lack of New World Order knowledge, as he knows the truth. We Are Change was initiated by Rudkowski in New York, and now has chapters in cities all over the world, including Los Angeles, Sydney, London, and many others.[1]
Furthermore on the subject of 'change', the group's founder Luke Rudkowski openly denies anthropogenic climate change[2] and his group does not in any way attempt to educate the public on the potentially disastrous consequences of global warming. That doesn't matter, Luke knows the truth, and we must listen to him! Disregard the scientists and rational thinkers! They're just New World Order pawns!
