First reported by the Associated Press on Wednesday, November 18th, hacktivist Jeremy Hammond is finally set to be released (to a ‘halfway house’) from federal prison, 7 years and 3 days to the date from his initial sentencing, after having been incarcerated for the majority of his ten-year prison term.
Hammond is a computer programmer, and internet activist/whistleblower associated with the hacktivist network Anonymous who had been sentenced to ten years imprisonment on November 15, 2013.
The sentence came about for breaching the servers of private intelligence firm Strategic Forecasting, Inc. also know as Stratfor, and releasing millions of internal documents to the transparency advocacy organization WikiLeaks.
This exposed evidence that the intelligence consulting firm had been conducting illegal operations acting as spies for hire on behalf of governments and corporations against several human rights defenders and activist groups.
On Oct. 16, Pfizer’s CEO indicated the company would likely file for FDA Emergency Use Authorization for its experimental BNT162b2 vaccine in late November. That statement came three days after Pfizer announced that it had received FDA permission to administer the unproven vaccine to children as young as 12, becoming the first company in the U.S. to include young participants in Phase 3 trials.
Are these parents (perhaps left unemployed by coronavirus restrictions) tempted by the financial incentives offered to clinical trial participants, reportedly anywhere from $1200 to $2000?
Otherwise, their motivation for wanting to throw their children into the experimental fray is unclear; as the director of the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital stated, “most of the time, what a coronavirus causes is a cold” that does not even make children “sick enough to where a parent says they need to go to a doctor.”
A *Free Download* of the last ever concert performed by Joe Strummer before his sad death on this day in 2002.
I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard of Joe Strummer’s untimely death. It was Sunday 22nd December 2002 and myself and a mate had spent the whole night listening to Punk records and boozing and carousing at the home of a close friend. In the morning when we were saying goodbye at the door I thought I heard the radio say that Joe Strummer had died. “Bloody hell” (I exclaimed or something stronger) “I think the radio just said Joe Strummer had died”. We all instantly dismissed it as not possible and probably a result of my delirium tremens and all went on our separate ways. It was later that day recovering from an insane hangover the news was confirmed when I saw…
Los brasileños le increparon al presidente Jair Bolsonaro en la calle, después de que este criticara las protestas antirracistas en el país sudamericano.
Los agentes de seguridad de Brasil golpearon el jueves a un hombre negro de 40 años, identificado como Joao Alberto Silveira Freitas,hasta causarle la muerteen un supermercado.
El incidente ha provocado una gran ola de indignación entre los brasileños, quienes han recorrido las calles en contra del racismo sistémico en el país.
En un discurso pronunciado el sábado en la cumbre del G20, el presidente de Brasil, Jair Bolsonaro, criticó las manifestaciones antirracistas y dijo que hay “intentos de importar tensiones ajenas a nuestra historia a nuestro territorio”.
Bolsonaro hizo alusión al tema del racismo, sin hacer mención alguna al crimen de Silveira. “No hay mejor color de piel que los demás. Lo que existe son hombres buenos y hombres malos”, dijo.
The following is an unofficial translation of two recent statements from the National Commission of the League of Poor Peasants (LCP) concerning the recent repression and eviction of the peasants from the Tiago dos Santos Camp.
Down with the Crude Assembly of the Rondônia Government and its Military Police Demonization of Peasants Fighting for Land to Make Evictions, Arrests, and Massacres
LCP’s note to rural and city workers and the general public
Since the early hours of today (October 8) the government of Rondônia (RO) has sent 300 police armed to the teeth to besiege the Tiago dos Santos Camp in Nova Mutum-Paraná, where 600 families, more than 2,400 men, women, and children live. Police officers are shooting at motorcycles or anything that moves in the camp, preventing the entry of anything and even food, when hundreds of children do not drink milk since last Monday, in a real circus of terror.
Five days after the serious events in that region, a succession of events, strong revelations from the peasants of Camp Tiago dos Santos and the very behavior of the monopoly press and mainly of the “brown sites” at the service of the landowners and the gunmen, increasingly unmasking the storm of lies, provocations, accusations, threats, and the gross assembly of the Rondônia government and its military police (MP) to demonize peasant families in their hard struggle for a piece of land to work and survive.
On October 5, the day after the death of the MPs, Sebastião Martins, brother and lawyer of the biggest land grabber in Rondônia, Antônio Martins “Galo Velho (Old Rooster),” filed a petition in court asking for an injunction to remove the more than 600 families, over 2,400 men, women and children, from the Tiago dos Santos Camp. This 57,000 hectare area, stolen and kept unproductive, is the land that peasant families have been fighting for since 2016. Since then, peasants have been attacked by gunmen and removed by judicial decision. One of those who fought for this land, the companion Tiago dos Santos, was assassinated and for that reason, gave his name to the current camp.
In July of this year, the same “Old Rooster” and his brother were arrested for conspiracy, buying false documents to steal public land, and for buying judgements labeling unproductive land as productive, in addition to having blocked more than 300 million reais ($53.4 million US).
A paper that analyzed the results of a massive post-lockdown Covid-19 testing drive that included nearly every eligible resident of Wuhan, China has found no evidence that positive cases without symptoms spread the disease.
The analysis, published in the scientific journal Nature, looked at the results of a screening initiative held between May and June in Wuhan, the city where the first cases of the novel coronavirus were detected in late 2019.
City and even nationwide lockdowns and mask-wearing mandates worldwide have been justified using the argument that even asymptomatic individuals could spread the disease and inadvertently overwhelm health services.
