D’Huwara, en Cisjordanie, à Bakhmouth en Ukraine nous est posée la question de l’appropriation sauvage d’un territoire contre la volonté de ses habitants. La question de la force contre le droit.

Aujourd’hui la « justice » envoie en détention provisoire des étudiant·e·s pour risque « risque de réitération en regard au calendrier social ». Après les avoir torturé·e·s au taser pour prendre leurs empreintes de force.
Le vendredi 3 février, un étudiant interpellé lors de la manif du #31Janvier contre la réforme des retraites passait en comparution immédiate. Il est accusé de #violences sur PDAP (personnes dépositaires de l’autorité publique, les keufs) avec deux circonstances aggravantes : arme par destination (bouteille) et visage dissimulé.
Lors de sa garde à vue, il a refusé de répondre aux questions des flics, refusé de donner sa signalétique (empreintes et photo), refusé de répondre à l’enquêteur social. Alors même qu’il avait donné sa vraie identité et qu’il avait son passeport sur lui, les flics l’ont tasé pour prendre ses empreintes de force. Sur ordre du procureur. Pour rappel, pour prendre la signalétique de quelqu’un « sous contrainte » et sur ordre du proc, il faut avoir un doute sur l’identité de la personne ou que celle-ci ait commis une infraction punie de plus de 3 ans d’enfermement. Autre rappel : la prise d’ADN n’est pas (encore) incluse dans la signalétique et donc ne peut pas être légalement prise de force.Lors de sa comparution,
l’avocate a demandé le renvoi du #procès et s’est permise d’évoquer la prise d’empreinte de force complètement injustifiée. Ce qui n’a visiblement pas plu aux juges. Le président est même allé jusqu’à dire que les garanties de représentation (quittance de loyer, certificat étudiant) du camarade pourraient être fausses.
Puni pour avoir encore une fois gardé le silence devant les flics et les juges, il a été envoyé en détention provisoire jusqu’à son procès prévu le 10 mars 2023 (nous donnerons plus tard la chambre et l’heure).
Le #président du #tribunal a sans doute été sensible aux réquisitions de la représentante du parquet, qui a réclamé l’enfermement pour un « risque de réitération en regard au calendrier social » !
La garde à vue et les coups de taser n’étaient visiblement pas suffisants aux yeux des #magistrats. Ce qui est visible en tout cas, c’est que ce mouvement social leur fait peur et qu’iels feront tout pour l’étouffer. Pour la justice, c’est clair : un-e manifestant.e en #prison est un.e manifestant.e qui ne sera pas dans la rue le 7 février !
Les avocat-e-s de la legal team ont aussitôt déposé une demande de mise en liberté, et nous serons là pour le soutenir lors de son procès du 10 mars !

The editors of the #Guardian, #NYTimes etc. finally speak up for #JulianAssange -- weasel words and 10 years late. Ten years after the Guardian made #public #WikiLeaks' #secret #password and launched a #campaign of #vilification against a #truthteller. The #movement in #Assange’s #defense must be based on the #international #working-class, a #force more #powerful than all of the #governments, #intelligence-agencies and #corporations combined.

#Covid19: #Global #reports, #news and #updates
#Australia… Just when you thought Covid was over… new legislation introduced in WA allows “officers” to break into your home without a warrant, force people into a quarantine facilities, and #force #vaccinate against their will.
On her show, Maria Zeee discussed an "extreme new law" in effect in the Australian state of Western Australia that would give "agents" the power to enter your home without a warrant to force you into quarantine or receive medical treatment. to undergo.
The law, passed last year, can also force people to stay in a certain area. “Are they planning to put people in camps?” asked Zee.
Mandatory vaccination
Earlier this month, Australia abolished the quarantine requirement. From October 14, Australians exposed to the #coronavirus will no longer be required to quarantine.
Mandatory vaccination is not explicitly mentioned in the law, but it can be interpreted as such. It states that someone who has been exposed can be forced to 'submit to infection prevention and control procedures' .
Armed Guards
In #China they go one step further. Chaos broke out at Xishuangbanna Gasa airport in Yunnan province on Tuesday. Travelers were stopped by armed guards in protective clothing as they tried to leave the airport. The reason for the intervention was a #new #lockdown after a few corona cases.
People were shouting, "Are you going to shoot us all?"
The #Zionists — in a situation similar to that of today’s supporters of #Israel — were aware it would be fatal to acknowledge that the creation of a Jewish homeland required the expulsion of the #Arab #majority.
Such an admission would cause the #colonizers to lose the world’s sympathy.
But among themselves the Zionists clearly understood that the use of #armed #force against the Arab majority was essential for the colonial project to succeed.

we could just get on with what we need to. instead, ever told no. held hostage by state terror, insidiously, most people never/rarely consider it so overtly. so much potential we could untap. so held to stop, and to backwards, when we could do what we need, embrace abundance and get on. madness of seeing experts obey idiots. madness of seeing mass obedience to idiots. no merit to merit, madness. such harmful conditioning normalised. oh to help minds awaken and engage. not sleep and obey the harmful detrimental diminutivising nonsensical orders of hierarchy and orthodoxy of corrupting power imbalances.

J'ai lu cela il y a quelques décennies mais je ne sais plus où. Si quelqu'un sait ?
(j'ai pensé à Konrad Lorentz, mais c'est un peu fracassant pour un homme aussi subtil que lui).
A quotation by Ingersoll, Robert Green
You can stand with the lash over a man, or you can stand by the prison door, or beneath the gallows, or by the stake, and say to this man: “Recant, or the lash descends, the prison door is locked upon you, the rope is put about your neck, or the torch is given to the fagot.” And so the man recants. Is he convinced? Not at all. Have you produced a new argument? Not the slightest. And yet the ignorant bigots of this world have been trying for thousands of years to rule the minds of men by brute force. They have endeavored to improve the mind by torturing the flesh — to spread religion with the sword and torch. They have tried to convince their brothers by putting their feet in iron boots, by putting fathers, mothers, patriots, philosophers and philanthropists in dungeons. And what has been the result? Are we any nearer thinking alike to-day than we were then?
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Speech to the Jury, Trial of C. B. Reynolds for Blasphemy, Morristown, New Jersey (May 1887)

It's happening on our watch.
No more delays ...
#Climate #scientists around the world are alarmed by a triple climate-change-related crisis that hit the western U.S. and Canada in June and July.
Normally climatologists are careful in their assessment of extreme weather events, under pressure from energy industry profiteers and anti-science climate change deniers. They go to great pains to avoid being accused of exaggeration, and rarely (really never) point to climate change as the cause of specific freakish #weather events.
The severity of what has happened in June and July has pushed past many of their carefully calculated projections. The fingerprints of capitalist-induced global warming are all over the crime scene.
A severe #drought in the western states of the U.S. that has been worsening for months has nearly drained Lake Mead in Nevada, Lake Oroville in California and other major reservoirs, threatening #power #generation for millions of people. A series of intense, widespread, sustained heat waves tortured a quarter of the U.S. as well as western Canada for weeks, taking the lives of hundreds of people.
The super-dry conditions in the region have caused 83 wildfires, including the Dixie Fire in northern California and the Bootleg Fire in southern Oregon. They are two of the largest #wildfires in #history and are both still raging.
Mild Pacific Northwest goes wild
The southwest U.S. is no stranger to deadly heat, but what is most unexpected is that this extreme heat has hit the Pacific Northwest, a region known for mild temperatures and damp weather.
Roads buckled in Seattle from the sweltering heat. For several days Portland, Ore., was the fourth-hottest place on earth. British Columbia suffered the highest death toll with more than 800 deaths between the end of June and middle of July — quadruple the average number of deaths.
The village of Lytton in British Columbia burned to the ground just as Paradise, Calif., did in 2018 — essentially nothing left but ashes and smoke.
In Canada’s British Columbia province, and the U.S. states of Washington, Oregon and northern California, the heat broke all-time temperature records, and then broke those records again, and then again.
Electric power for millions threatened
Nevada and California’s livability depends on a system of 1,500 human-made reservoirs, not only for drinking water and agriculture but for electricity from hydroelectric generators.
Engineers say that the water level in Lake Mead will be below the minimum water level needed to generate power to 1.3 million people in a matter of days. Lake Oroville will likely last until September, when it won’t be able to supply electricity for another 800,000.
Normally, power companies buy power from nearby regions when needed. But constantly running air conditioning in a wide swath of the western U.S. during 2021 has diminished power surpluses that normally allow that to happen.
All told, the fires have burned 1.3 million acres — an area larger than Los Angeles, New York City and Chicago combined. The smoke has journeyed cross-country to the East Coast, prompting air quality warnings along the northern part of the Eastern Seaboard and as far inland as central Virginia.
In addition to California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, the heatwaves hit Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
Heat deadly for agricultural workers
Thirty-eight-year-old Sebastián Francisco Pérez from Guatemala was working at an Oregon tree farm on June 26 when he collapsed and died from the heat. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 53 #agricultural #workers died from heat nationwide in 2019, but this was the first in Oregon directly attributable to heat.
Only four states have laws in place to protect farmworkers. Oregon became the third after the death of Sebastián. Washington State quickly followed with some emergency measures. Some other states merely have “guidelines.”
Irene Ruiz, an #environmental #justice organizer from Boise, Idaho, messaged about the heightened danger to agricultural workers during heatwaves. “Guidelines are not enough. These are the people who put food on our tables and are the most affected and in danger of extreme heat.”
#Imperialism and #globalwarming
Recent decades have seen extreme weather events become more frequent and much more severe than previous periods. Experts point to that quickening pace and increasing severity as caused directly by global warming, even though they usually avoid blaming global warming for specific weather events.
The opposing narrative, motivated by energy profiteers, is that the warming of the atmosphere during this period is a natural cycle, that it has happened before over the millennia, and that it will pass.
But a #scientific #paper published in the journal Nature on July 28 referenced two large, decades-long studies of the #Earth’s “ #energy balance” — the amount of the sun’s energy entering Earth’s atmosphere compared to the amount of energy reflected back out into space. Both studies confirm that greenhouse gases are keeping the sun’s energy trapped in our atmosphere.
The paper asserts that there is less than a 1% chance that the rise in global temperatures and all of its frightening consequences are a natural occurrence.
#Greenhouse #gases began to heat the #atmosphere with the dawn of #industrial #capitalism in the latter part of the 19th century. That much is readily admitted in the capitalist press these days. What isn’t written about enough is the role of imperialist domination in this crisis for #humanity.
The machinery of war is the greatest consumer of oil, and like a dog chasing its tail, pollutes the world while fighting to control oil markets. If the #US military machine were to be ranked in the list of countries that indicates how much they contribute to pollutants that heat the atmosphere, the list would show it ahead of 46 countries.
Estimates of the cost of stopping global warming vary from $300 billion to Forbes Magazine’s price tag of $50 trillion. Underdevelopment and poverty have been imposed on much of the world by #imperialist #military #force and #economic #leverage for more than a century. The stolen wealth is now concentrated in the hands of the tiny group of billionaires that have profited immensely — as a class — from the control of oil markets. That stolen wealth is key to mitigating climate change.
The world is being told to put its faith in international agreements to solve the crisis. The #ParisClimateAgreement is supposed to oblige each participating country to limit greenhouse gases and commit rich nations — and in some cases private corporations — to help fund efforts by poor nations with $100 billion per year in grants, loans and other forms of financing, to help them switch to clean energy.
That agreement still shifts the blame to the poorest countries, when in fact 20 industrialized countries are responsible for 78% of greenhouse gases.
Historically, no country has put more carbon dioxide into the air than the imperialist U.S. #empire. The ultimate goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit greenhouse gases to a 2% increase per year, and “if possible” to 1.5% per year. As of today, the rich countries haven’t come up with the first $100 billion that was due in 2018.

#Capitalism is a #roadblock on the path to mitigating this huge crisis for #humankind. It will take a #global #environmental #movement that is #revolutionary — #conscious of the need to #eradicate imperialism — to stop the crisis of global warming and climate change ~

❤ me and myself, tatouage éphémère par Claire Czajkowski aux Estivales de l’illustration de Sarrant dans le Gers qui a lieu en ce moment jusqu’à dimanche.
Si, comme moi, vous avez appris à faire passer les autres avant vous, à ne pas vous écouter parce que c’est égoïste et que ça c’est inacceptable,honteux, si comme moi, vous vous êtes un jour demandé si vous vous aimiez vous-même, si vous aimeriez avoir une relation avec quelqu’un comme vous-même, si vous vous souteniez et vous encouragiez vous-même et que vous vous êtes rendu-compte que vous étiez le pire juge pour vous, toujours à vous critiquer et vous dévaloriser, alors vous comprendrez le chemin parcouru pour moi jusqu’à aujourd’hui.
Aujourd’hui j’ai de la douceur pour moi, je m’écoute, j’accepte toutes les parts de moi, j’apprécie ma compagnie, je me respecte, j’ose exprimer mes besoins et mes limites, j’ose dire qui je suis. Aujourd’hui, je m’aime et ma vie est plus simple et plus joyeuse!
Et je sais que ça fait de moi une personne d’autant plus précieuse pour accompagner les autres 😉

To really drive the point home, let’s consider an example entirely outside the realm of engineering: happiness. We all know that we smile because we are happy. That is a causal relationship. What is surprising is that if we #force ourselves to smile we can actually improve our mood. Smiling more makes you happier whether or not the smile was natural. The #brain is a complex system which apparently struggles with causality and we can take advantage of that to achieve a better result for ourselves. It is cheating. It shouldn’t work. But it does. Hacking can literally make you happier.
So they hacked themself - no shit Sherlock :( First of all, this really works. I use this trick when I'm totally bummed and don't want anyone to know. But how inhumanly broken must the exploitation machinery in commercial software development be, if this is part of the standard for the staff. Please promise me that you will immediately run away if your project management ever asks you to do something like that.
