Cities Say They Store Property Taken From #Homeless Encampments. People Rarely Get Their Things Back.
==
Storage programs are meant to protect people’s property rights and allow them to reclaim their possessions. But they rarely accomplish either objective, according to a ProPublica investigation of cities with the largest homeless populations.

The #ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants against #Netanyahu and Gallant may not affect the US directly (they are not signatories to the Rome statute), but it will certainly put pressure on Europe and countries like #Germany and the #UK who at best have shown great duplicity if not complicity with #Israel’s genocidal actions in #Gaza. Can’t wait to see what contortions an ex #humanrights lawyer like #keirstarmer will get into. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/british-mps-urge-government-to-endorse-icc-arrest-warrant-for-netanyahu-gallant/3400269

As Hind Elhinnawy observes:

'If the world can tolerate the Taliban’s abuses, Iraq’s restrictive laws & the US restrictions on abortion access, it reveals the fragility of women’s & girls’ rights globally, and how easy it is to take them away'!

Feminism's work is never done & any idea that once rights have been won they don't need continually defending against (mostly) male political attack is very much mistaken.

Patriarchy never rests!

Well done on these authors stepping up to help Australia's appallingly ignorant politicians! Sadly, I suspect the politicians who need this material the most will be those least likely to read it.

On repeat, pointing to the votes in Dutch Parliament of today, November 19, 2024:

Something to witness: how "the safety of Israel" is the weapon Western democracies use to dismantle civil rights and turn their own countries into more open authoritarian police and surveillance states. IMO, they really got bold after they managed to "dissappear" the still ongoing pandemic.

'Europe's last #dictator' crushes opposition with dozens arrested before #elections

The #Viasna #HumanRights center said more than 100 people have been arrested across #Belarus in the last week, with many of the arrests targeting participants in online chats.

By Brigid Brown
15:36 ET, Wed, Nov 6, 202

"A tyrant once dubbed Europe's last dictator has initiated a rigorous campaign to squash #dissent ahead of elections in January.

"More 100 people were detained in various cities across #Belarus where #AlexanderLukashenko is campaigning for reelection, according to reports from the Viasna human rights center on Wednesday, since last Thursday

The crackdown has been aimed at individuals active in apartment building online chat groups, which residents used to arrange practical matters like maintenance and communal services, now accused by the government of being part of an 'extremist' network."

About the length of the working day


After World War II, Joseph Stalin again raises the issue of the urgent need for the widespread introduction of the 6-hour workday norm

...it would be wrong to think that it is possible to achieve such a serious cultural growth of the members of society without serious changes in the present state of labor. For this purpose it is necessary first of all to reduce the working day to at least 6 and then to 5 hours. This is necessary in order to give the members of society enough free time for a comprehensive education. For this it is necessary, further, to introduce compulsory polytechnic education, necessary for the members of society to be able to freely choose a profession and not be chained for life to one profession....
Joseph Stalin, “Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR,” September 28, 1952


After Stalin's death, the USSR leadership removed from the agenda the need to move to a six-hour day for the masses.

I'm going to say its just a little bit ironic that the Daily Mail has used the European Court of Human Rights to successfully sue for a reduction in damages it is having to pay to victims of its practices over the years.....

Its one of those things that makes you think there is little point in poetical satire any longer....

See this, the IOF aka IDF, dedicates today the bombing of a residential block in Gaza to Maccabi Tel Aviv. Don't tell me anything anymore about mandatory IDF service. If you do this, you are just plain evil and also if you're not saying anything about it. Neutrality is evil!

More comprehensive footage from Embassy of Justice with the following text:

"Chants echo through the streets of Amsterdam, loud, clear, and passionate. And with absolute impunity.

‘Let the IDF win to f*** the Arabs,’ and ‘There are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left,’ as part of a longer song. (If you identify other chants in the reel, DM us)

Now the IDF is sending a rescue team to Amsterdam, so it’s said. One does everything to keep controlling the narrative of being the victims. Will they care more about their hooligans than their hostages, or are the rescue helicopters also a lie?

FIFA, UEFA, Ajax, Ajax players, the mayor, fans, airlines, hotels, restaurants, bars, NS, GVB, and broadcasters all could have stood up for human rights and prevented the drama. But they seem to care more about whatever it is they care about.

This was Amsterdam’s second invitation this year to people committing genocide. Who’s next? Is the King inviting Bibi for Christmas dinner?

For now, olé, olé—Amsterdam’s streets will soon be safe again 🤞🏽"

And how much economic damage is from climate change and pollution from #FossilFuels? #BigOil is the real criminal here!

#ClimateProtesters are taking action against Big Oil. UK courts are handing them prison terms akin to rapists and thieves

By Kara Fox, CNN
September 14, 2024

London CNN — "As #RightWing rioters attacked communities with #racist violence across parts of the UK last month, 22-year-old #ClimateActivist #CressieGethin sat in a prison cell.

"Her crime? Organizing a disruptive protest against new government-granted licenses to drill for oil — a planet-heating #FossilFuel — in the #NorthSea.

"In late July, a London court found #Gethin and four other members of the #JustStopOil activist group guilty of 'conspiring intentionally to cause a #PublicNuisance,' after recruiting protesters to climb structures along the M25 — a major ring road around London — bringing traffic to a standstill in parts over four days in November 2022.

"Prosecutors alleged that the protests, organized over a #ZoomCall, disrupted more than 700,000 drivers, caused economic damage of over £760,000 ($980,000) and racked up £1 million ($1.3m) in policing costs.

"Now Gethin and three others — Louise Lancaster, #DanielShaw and #LuciaWhittakerDeAbreu, who planned the disruption on the call — are serving four-year jail terms, while Just Stop Oil co-founder #RogerHallam was given five years. All are appealing.

"The sentences are believed to be the longest in the UK’s history for #nonviolent protest and were delivered under two new controversial laws that supercharged #policing powers to crack down on disruptive protests, even when they are peaceful.

"They place the act of planning a 'public nuisance' event, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, on a similar footing as #ViolentCrimes like robbery, for which punishments range from community service to 12 years’ jail, or rape, which is four to 19 years.

"The judge — who in court referred to the activists as '#extremists' — justified the long jail terms because all five activists had previously been convicted of one or more offenses in relation to direct action protest. Each were on bail for another set of proceedings when the Zoom call took place. He also noted people missed important doctor’s visits and funerals because of the protest.

"But activists like Gethin say their demonstrations are proportionate to the problem at hand — a rapidly warming world that threatens to transform life as we know it, through deadly #ExtremeWeather events and by pushing #ecosystems to their brinks. They are now battling the bolstered powers of the #police and courts to get their point across.

“'A very harsh sentence like this doesn’t make sense morally or legally — but it does make sense politically,' Gethin told CNN in a handwritten letter from HMP Bronzefield, a women’s prison just south of London’s Heathrow Airport.

"The laws have drawn criticism from the UN’s special rapporteur on #EnvironmentalDefenders, #MichaelForst, who said not only do they criminalize peaceful protest, but they are being enforced in 'punitive and repressive' ways."

#EnergyTransfer's $300 Million Lawsuit Against #Greenpeace for #StandingRock #Resistance Delayed

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews
July 29, 2024

STANDING ROCK, #NorthDakota -- "Energy Transfer's $300 million #SLAPP lawsuit against Greenpeace and Standing Rock #WaterProtectors for the resistance to #DakotaAccessPipeline has been delayed until February, due to a 'massive document dump' by Energy Transfer, Greenpeace told Censored News today.

"Originally, our trial was set for July 29th, 2024 – but due to a massive document dump by Energy Transfer in June, Greenpeace filed a request to have the trial date pushed back. The judge agreed, and moved our trial to February 24, 2025 through March 28, 2025," Lindsay Bigda, communication director, Democracy Resilience Program at Greenpeace USA told Censored News today.
Responding to questions, Greenpeace said #RedWarriorSociety and other water protectors are named in the lawsuit.

"'Red Warrior Society is still named in the lawsuit and last week our lawyers presented arguments for why it shouldn’t be (because it is not the sort of entity that can be sued). The two individuals, #CodyHall and #KrystalTwoBulls, are also still named, but were never served. (Greenpeace entities are the only ones that were served and are actively litigating),' Bigda told Censored News.

"'Very few jurisdictions have made steps to prevent the corporate legal warfare waged in SLAPPs to #SilenceDissent and freedom of expression. The United States has long failed to uphold #HumanRights and #Indigenous leaders have had no choice but to leave their precious homelands; and use international diplomacy to implore all those who will listen for an end to the #extractive industry violence.'

"'Europe played a key role in the #colonization of the planet. Now let's see if she, her people, and jurisdictions, can help in undoing and healing that historic wound. #IndigenousPeoples must continue to engage with Europe to seek justice and #corporate accountability.'

"Standing Rock water protectors have been served subpoenas in the case from Energy Transfer, as it seeks out information. #UnicornRiot fought the subpoena in #Minnesota and won its case to protect its internal media files. However, Energy Transfer has now asked the Minnesota Supreme Court to reconsider its case.

"Greenpeace clarified the reason for the subpoenas that water protectors and Unicorn Riot media were served with.
'Unicorn riot was never named in the lawsuit. They received a third party subpoena, along with many other activist groups and individuals (these folks are not parties to the case; rather, they are third parties that Energy Transfer wants info from in its case against Greenpeace,)' Bigda told Censored News.

"Mercenaries #TigerSwan Spied without a License, Provided Info to Law Enforcement

"Red Warrior Camp was a focus of the mercenaries hired by Energy Transfer at Standing Rock in September of 2016, as revealed in the court-ordered spy documents released.
TigerSwan was found working in North Dakota without a license from 2016 through 2017. As a result, the North Dakota regulatory board ordered that TigerSwan's spy files be released. The Intercept now has over 50,000 of TigerSwan's spy documents at Standing Rock, as a result of a lengthy court battle. Energy Transfer, employer of TigerSwan, fought the release of documents in North Dakota court, but the North Dakota Supreme Court upheld the decision to release TigerSwan's documents in 2022.

"The TigerSwan aerial photos included #OcetiSakowin Camp, Red Warrior Camp, and the other camps. The spy documents reveal that a U.S. Border Patrol drone was included in the aerial #surveillance and #infiltrators were placed in the water protector camps at Standing Rock and elsewhere.

"Meanwhile, after Standing Rock, TigerSwan's CEO formed a new company. Syria says they are stealing #Syria's oil. CNN reported about the secretive contract and the new company.

#Palestinians Targeted for Surveillance by TigerSwan at Standing Rock

"As soon as a single #Palestinian activist showed up at an anti-Dakota Access Pipeline camp on the edge of the Standing Rock reservation in 2016, intelligence analysts for the mercenary security firm TigerSwan were on alert," by Alleen Brown, Drilled and co-published with the Center for Media and Democracy."

ICE is teaching racist civilians to murder immigrants.

"The academy trains civilians to operate multiple firearms, use lethal force, perform surveillance on immigrants, and conduct raids while also acting as a public relations initiative to try and sway public opinion about ICE, CBP, and the HSI unit of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“We ran Border Patrol Citizen Academies back when I was an agent as well,” Jenn Budd, former Senior Border Patrol Agent, whistleblower, and author of Against the Wall told Unicorn Riot. “The entire goal is to indoctrinate locals into why it’s okay for us to violate people’s rights.”

The training materials... show where to strike people with batons to subdue them are but the tip of the iceberg... Deadly force is the primary focus of Citizens Academy training... Another presentation from 2021... says that the goal of this scenario is to teach about shooting an unarmed person."

US, Germany involved in Israel’s ongoing crime of genocide across the Gaza Strip, particularly in the north --

The Israeli army’s massacre in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip, has already claimed a horrifying number of lives. Along with the occupying state, those nations who provide the Israeli army with weapons or keep quiet about its crime of genocide must also be held accountable.
