QUESTION: E-Diplomacy / State Department

question / pregunta: 

Hello,

I am working on a project on access to to State Department Documents. I know the compulsion, on the behalf of congress, of the government to print tier documents. I know that there has been a large shift to e-diplomacy, or digital documentation. I am trying to find the accessibility of that information. Do you have any suggestions on what direction I should move in?

the radical imagination

Please note, this is a thinky sort of a piece rather than an informational one, but this seemed like the right place for it, and I'd appreciate your thoughts, should you have any.

QUESTION: Balloon protests in Rotterdam?

question / pregunta: 

a comrade just brought your awesome resource to my attention, and I'm hoping you might be able to help me find out about a political action I heard about, but haven't been able to find any documentation of.

I heard that some time ago there was a plan to spray pesticides from planes over Rotterdam in the Netherlands, but people protested against it by putting up so many balloons that the planes could not fly. I understand that aerial spraying has since been banned in Rotterdam. I learned about this from an online comment here, but have found no other reference to this event:

Could you tell me if this action really did occur, and where I might find newspaper articles, pictures, or any other documentation about it?

I'm a disabled, anti-toxics activist in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm largely housebound due to pesticide poisoning, and am working to inform the community about the dangers of pesticides, and actions that have been taken to prevent their application.

Thanx so much for any help you might send my way.

QUESTION: US Tort filings

question / pregunta: 

Looking for tort information regarding negligent infliction of emotional stress torts, vs hate speech.

Specifically cases that have been heard in Illinois, but anywhere in the US.

The idea is to go after war criminals, with their victims as the plaintiffs, that now are lying about their acts. This would be used for a particular international criminal in the US that is on tour. His crimes were not occurring in the US, and the plaintiffs will not be able to seek justice in the country of occurrence, but many are here in the US.
