Stop jailing climate truth tellers!

This sentence is a gut-punch for us all. #Peaceful climate activists will spend the next four to five years in jail.

Why? For leading a video call about a #protest against the last government’s failure to act on climate change and its plans to “max out” on #oil and #gas.

This is the tragic result of repressive #Tory laws which treat peaceful climate protesters as violent offenders.
- Activists can now be #jailed for up to ten years!
- Meanwhile, big #polluters destroy our planet with impunity.

Peaceful climate activists - YEARS in prison?

They’re putting behind bars the people who fight for climate justice. We can’t let it happen.

The Betrayers of Assange

"What they are doing to #Assange is #deliberate, #callous, #cruel and in every way #fascist." ~ #JohnPilger #quote

This is not about the #survival of a #free-press. There is no longer a free press. There are refuges in the #samizdat, such as this site. The paramount issue is #justice and our most precious #human-right: to be #free.

The Betrayers of Assange

I saw Julian in Belmarsh not long ago. We talked about books and the oppressive idiocy of the prison: the happy-clappy slogans on the walls, the petty punishments; they still won't let him use the gym. He must exercise alone in a cage-like area...

#Socrates understood the limitations of #knowledge 2,440 years ago. Why is it that today's #West is plagued by #credulity, #intellectual indolence, willful #ignorance and group-think?

An examination of the #ethnographic composition of the #Western #power structure suggests one reason #why.

A tiny #elite of #supranational, #elitist, #Nietzschean, #nepotistic, #supremacist, #sophistic, #hubristic, #manipulative, self-serving, #lying, #avaricious, #sociopathic, #arrogant, #plutocratic, #megalomaniacal, self-congratulatory, #dishonest, #cruel, #domineering, #selfish #plagiarists possess massively #disproportionate power in Western #civilization.

Why? Because Elite Scions would rather their global goals are achieved than protect & defend Indo-European, Western peoples.

Hoje passei por uma situação #angustiante. Passei, de verdade, pela #tristeza de consolar alguém que sofreu de #racismo. Eu, como branco, homem cis, me vi fraco. Me vi impotente pelo fato de saber que, de alguma maneira, as pessoas que eu amo passam e ainda passarão por essa situação.

Minha #namorada, ao fazer uma entrevista de #trabalho, teve de escutar que só conseguiria a vaga se tivesse o #cabelo alisado. Sim, para ter um #emprego, um #dinheiro mínimo para subsistência, ela teria de matar parte da sua #personalidade. Teria de alisar anos de tratamento, anos de autorreprovações, anos de dinheiro em cremes e salão para chegar no resultado que ela sempre sonhou.

Para agradar a quem?, eu lhe pergunto. Uma minoria #burguesa racista que, por viver na orla, acha que é superior a qualquer outro. Como se se o mar não os afogaria tal qual afoga um #preto, um #gay, uma pessoa #trans... É patético.

Ela, felizmente, manteve o seu #orgulho. Manteve as suas #raízes e as suas #lutas. Mas quantas não tem de se submeter a absurdos como este todos os dias? Quantas e quantos não tem de escutar ofensas em forma de piadas, olhares subjugadores, acusações infundadas ou até a #invisibilidade como cidadão? É terrível.

Vivemos num #mundo racista. Num mundo #mau e #cruel com quem não merece. Situações como estas nos lembram o quanto as pessoas podem ser ruins umas com as outras a troco de umas #migalhas.

With regards to #medical #mandates, "#Vaccine passports" and/or "#lockdowns" in the #UK please see:

Sidaway v. Board of Governors of the Bethlem Royal Hospital and the Maudsley Hospital

"A mentally competent patient has an absolute right to refuse to #consent to medical #treatment, for any reason, #rational or #irrational, or for no #reason at all, even where that decision may lead to his or her own #death."

This establishes the #principle of a legal right to #refuse medical treatment, preventative or curative. The ruling has been used in many cases and upheld.
