Turning Razor Wire Plantations Into Schools of Liberation / with ShineWhite

Published January 18, 2021 on AMW English… shared with thanks!

The following is a conversation with ShineWhite. ShineWhite is the former spokesperson for the National White Panther Organization, a part of the United Panther Movement. There was quite recently a split in the UPM and ShineWhite is now affiliated with the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party.

In this conversation, ShineWhite talks about the White Panther Organization that he was representing at the time of this chat, how he became politicized in North Carolina Prisons, the terrible conditions amidst the covid pandemic and beyond, anti-racist and anti-capitalist organizing in the NCDPS system, the use of the Security Threat Group status in NC prisons and reprisals he’s faced for his call out in 2018 for NC prisoners to participate in a Prison Strike which dovetailed well with the Nationwide Prison Strike of that year as well as other organizing.

For the listening audience, would you please introduce yourself with your name, location and how you came to be there? thefinalstrawradio

The Witches’ Web

by Karen Oakey 106SHARES on Feminist Current shared with thanks .. some illustrations added from Ovarit.

‘Witchcraft is less a set of practices than a representation of the oppositional, as the intentional thwarting of the machinery of power,” writes Katherine Howe, in the Penguin Book of Witches. There is, of course, no more effective means to suppress free debate than mounting a witch-hunt against stubborn, resilient, subaltern counterpublics and their members. But these witches won’t burn’.

Feminist Current

It is “no accident,” writes feminist philosopher Marilyn Frye, “that with various degrees of conscious intention, feminists have tried to create separate spaces where women could exist somewhat sheltered from the prevailing winds of patriarchal culture and try to stand up straight for once.”

Feminism happens when women stand up straight, and when they talk to each other. But free speech is becoming increasingly inaccessible for gender critical and radical feminists, particularly online. Facing social media bans, deplatforming, and censorship, many gender critical women have sought shelter in niche, women-centred communities, like Lipstick Alley, a Black women’s forum; British parenting site, Mumsnet; and Ovarit, a new forum founded in June by former moderators of the r/GenderCritical community on Reddit.

Shocked at Reddit’s sudden removal of r/GenderCritical and other feminist communities, I volunteered to join the admin team for Ovarit, having moderated the r/GenderCritical subreddit for over a year. I was motivated not just by the injustice of the ban, but because I know how pivotal women-centered spaces are to feminism.

These spaces are the cauldrons of feminist consciousness and the covens of feminist activism, allowing women to find common cause and organize in defense of their rights. But where there are cauldrons, covens, and witches, there are witch-hunts.

Avian Flu Pandemic: Mutations in Factory Farms could kill Millions of Humans

by Claire Hamlett January 19, 2021

Only around 800 people globally have contracted H5N1 since 2003, but around 60 percent of them died from the disease … .the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that a global avian flu pandemic could kill 150 million people.

As the world continues to battle the coronavirus pandemic, a parallel scenario is unfolding in the avian world. Outbreaks of avian flu have been detected on poultry farms from the UK to Japan, resulting in millions of birds being culled globally.

In the UK, all captive birds have been forced into their own lockdown since mid-December, with keepers of flocks big and small ordered to keep their birds indoors for the foreseeable future.

Since November, multiple strains of the avian flu including the highly pathogenic H5N1, one of the most common strains, have been found on farms in Japan, South Korea, India, Russia, Israel, and several European countries. Highly pathogenic strains can cause severe illness in birds with symptoms including swelling of the head and difficulty breathing, though some birds such as ducks can be asymptomatic.

Death is almost guaranteed within 48 hours. Authorities have said that the risk to the public from the current spate of outbreaks is low.

The Chinese Quantum Leap promises Infinitely fast Internet and Computers millions of times faster..

The new 4,600 km internet highway between Beijing and Shanghai incorporates two satellites which receive instantaneous ‘teleported’ quantum data, making at least that part of the network infinitely fast, and defying the laws of physics.

Pan Jianwei, world-leading Chinese quantum scientist

And the latest quantum computer can solve mathematical problems in seconds that the world’s fastest conventional computer, Japan’s Fugaku, would take an estimated 600 million years to solve.

Albert Einstein called instant quantum entanglement “spooky”, and for a good reason.

Dr Ben Buchler, associate professor at the Australian National University, explains the phenomenon using two bowls of quantum-entangled Smarties. In his example, two people pick Smarties from the bowls without looking at their colour. The chance of the Smarties being orange or green or red is essentially random.

Scientists have established the world’s first integrated quantum communication network, combining over 700 optical fibers on the ground with two ground-to-satellite links to achieve quantum key distribution over a total distance of 4,600 kilometers for users across the country.

Guía antirrepresiva para la acción: Seguridad informática

Artículo extraído de la revista “Amnistía” número 3 del Movimiento Antirrepresivo de Madrid.

Sin embargo, el uso indiscriminado de la tecnología la convierte en un arma de doble filo, dotando a agentes externos de información sensible que pone en riesgo tanto a la propia persona como a los de su alrededor.

Por ello, en este capítulo de la guía antirrepresiva hablaremos de cómo utilizar la tecnología de tal forma que minimice los riesgos a los que podemos exponernos como activistas.

El teléfono móvil se ha convertido, para muchas personas, en una herramienta imprescindible, tanto es así que ha superado incluso a los ordenadores como dispositivo para acceder a internet.

Además, en el móvil almacenamos todo tipo de información, indistintamente de que esta información sea intrascendente o no, siempre es útil para realizar perfiles de quiénes somos, con quién nos relacionamos o las actividades que realizamos. Por…
