The notorious ‘Novichok’ nerve agent described as Russia’s lethal weapon has been first presented to the world by Americans and has since been replicated by 20 of their allies, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
The structure of a substance that has since been known to the world as ‘Novichok’ has been first unveiled by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology back in 1998 on the basis of the data provided by the Pentagon, the Russian Ministry said on Saturday, replying to yet another damning statement by the German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas.
Every day we see negative news in the media, where a few have a bad time, together with others where they communicate the great benefits that large corporations have obtained.
The bombardment of information we receive means that this has become something natural, something accepted by all, which does not produce more effect than a fleeting thought of sorrow, but which we quickly forget.
However, one of the greatest wishes that citizens have is based on the future happiness of their children, without realizing that the future of a person does not depend on wishing, but on actively moving.
Agorism is a social philosophy that advocates creating a society in which all relations between people are voluntary exchanges by means of counter-economics, engaging with aspects of peaceful revolution. Agorism – Wikipedia

ALERT! To public opinion, to national and international solidarity, to the Government of the State of Hidalgo and the Government of Mexico:
We strongly denounce the repeated death threats against the activist Filiberta Nevado Temples and the defenders of the Zacacuatla forest, Acaxochitlán, Hidalgo State, Mexico.
Filiberta Nevado Temples, inhabitant of the Community of Zacacuatla of the Municipality of Acaxochitlán, which is located 2,254 meters above sea level in the Sierra Otomí-Tepehua of the State of Hidalgo and that borders the State of Puebla, in recent days she denounced that she has been threatened with death by some of the main members of the logging mafia that operate on the borders between Hidalgo and Puebla.
Filiberta along with hundreds of people from the area have bravely defended the forests of Acaxochitlán and the region from clandestine logging, especially since 1999 when the Canales Temples family illegally appropriated a 55-hectare forest in which it is located. the main spring from which the Community of Zacacuatla is supplied with drinking water, this in order to cut it down.
The anarcho-syndicalist organization calls on all alternative collectives and unions to join this call and participate, to create a broad front that includes all common demands.
The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) has announced, through a statement, that it has agreed to call a General Strike within the Community of Madrid, foreseeably for the end of October.
The CGT considers that the reasons for calling this strike are more than justified. Among them, the collapse of the health system stands out, where the different administrations have given preference to economic factors over the lives of people, especially those most disadvantaged.
In this sense, CGT points out that despite this second wave of Covid-19, public health continues to be privatized at the expense of people who risk their lives to protect that of citizens without any kind of political support.
CGT also denounces the double reality in terms of educational centers, where those who can afford private medical personnel also have the means to guarantee adequate education, while many other people depend on public centers, and do not even know if they will be able to continue receiving classes in the coming months due to the evolution of the pandemic.
CGT indicates that, as has happened with health, in education the economic factor has also prevailed over the legitimate needs of people. That is why in these collapsed public centers, there is a lack of teachers, medical personnel and the means in general so that students can attend them with minimum security conditions.
