The Terrible Movie That Sparked US Embassy Attacks [VIDEO]
12 Sep 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 5 Comments
A crap film is the cause of two attacks on American embassies in Libya and Eygpt.

Vodafone’s Wrists Slapped By Shareholders For Shutdown In Egypt
01 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Vodafone shut down their Egyptian network coverage during the revolution, arguably prolonging the event’s bloodshed and indirectly leading to the death of Egyptians who couldn’t summon ambulances when they were needed.

Do You Hear The People Sing?
28 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
