A few minutes later they were identified by the police Activists have sprayed red liquid on the stern of the luxury megayacht anchored in the Port of Barcelona
The superyacht of the Walmart family is once again the object of protest, this time in the port of Barcelona.
In the early hours of this Friday, two activists of Rebellion or Extinction and Scientific Rebellion have stained the stern of this luxurious boat with biodegradable red paint and have deployed a banner that could read “Billionaires should not exist ” (“Billionaires Shouldn’t Exist”).
As explained to El Salto, with this protest the activists want to make visible and denounce the responsibility that billionaires have for the climate crisis.
The non-violent protest has passed peacefully. The activists have bypassed the security of the port and have approached their target, where they have acted using two fire extinguishers loaded with this red liquid. It wasn’t until a few moments later that precinct security showed up, who held them until the police arrived on the scene and identified them.
🛳Según han explicado a El Salto, con esta protesta los activistas quieren visibilizar y denunciar la responsabilidad que los multimillonarios tienen sobre la crisis climática.
“This year we have experienced the highest temperatures in the history of mankind and instead of reducing emissions, we continue to emit trillions of tons of CO₂”, complains one of the activists during the protest, while noting that the people most responsible for this situation is the one that hoards the most wealth in the world.
The target ship of the protest, ironically named Kaos and equipped with all kinds of luxuries, is owned by Nancy Walton, daughter and heir to the billion-dollar fortune of the American supermarket chain Walmart
The target ship of the protest, ironically named Kaos, equipped with a helipad in the bow, a spa, a swimming pool and all kinds of luxuries, is owned by Nancy Walton, the daughter and heiress of the billionaire fortune of the American supermarket chain Walmart .
The company was founded by his father, Sam Walton, and today occupies one of the first places in the lists of companies with the highest revenues, as well as having a market capitalization of 429 billion dollars.
Nancy Walton bought this 110-meter-long yacht in 2019 from the Qatari royal family for the amount of 280 million euros. The yacht was already in the spotlight of another activist group last July, when members of Futur Vegetal sprayed it with paint in a similar way when it was docked in Ibiza.

After the action against the Intercontinental hotel due to its link with The District, today around 200 people gathered at half past nine in the morning at the exit of the Europa Fira de l’Hospitalet de Llobregat railway station.
When they managed to overcome a police cordon, the mobilization made its way to the fences that surround the compound.

It was nine in the morning and there were still 45 minutes to go before the start of the second edition of a real estate summit attended by 1,200 investors from the likes of Blackstone, Blackrock or Azora – the founders of which have been awarded.
Four vans from the ARRO Metropolitana Sud of the Mossos d’Esquadra shielded the Fair from the gates of the site and five vans from the Mobile Brigade did it from the street.
Despite trying to find a crack in the police armor, unlike last year, the activists have not been able to access the interior. As participants and visitors were arriving, the slides started. Dressed in frogs and masks, some activists threw colored powder at them and shouted: “speculators”.
Among the people dyed in blue, they paraded Jordi Moix, manager of Talus Real Estate and LinQventure, as well as economic vice-president on the Barça board of Josep Maria Bartomeu; o Anna Hernández Bonancia, director of the Barcelona Metropolitan Area Economic Development Agency and wife of former president José Montilla (PSC).
While a real estate entrepreneur has begun to dialogue, there has been another who has thrown an activist into a pool of water and a third has kicked a girl. The police were escorting an assistant to the entrance, when an accredited journalist from La Mosca TV had a small encounter with an officer and another anti-riot officer jumped on top of her and pinned her to the ground, causing her a face injury.
While she was being taken inside the injured compound to be treated by an ambulance, there was a police charge. The South Metropolitan Police Region of the Mossos d’Esquadra has confirmed to Directa that there is a person arrested at the Hospitalet de Llobregat police station, accused of public disorder, but did not want to specify if it was the journalist.
However, those close to the victim have been able to speak with her, confirming that she is in police custody. She was finally released at quarter past ten in the evening.

During a Sunday appearance on Face the Nation to plug his new Zelensky movie, actor Sean Penn decried the “cowardice” of the US government in its caution around provoking a nuclear exchange with its proxy warfare in Ukraine.
“It is my absolute feeling that the caution with which the United States has pledged support, which seemed, in my reading of February 2022 was a, like a lean on in the fear of nuclear conflict, something I think all of us should look very carefully at and understand that, of course, is possible,” Penn said. “And that’s to be concerning.
The likelihood is extremely low. And as one of our witnesses in the film says, you know, are we going to let a gangster with nuclear weapons dictate the way we live?”
Penn emotionally lamented the fact that the Biden administration did not pour F-16 warplanes into Ukraine from the very beginning of the conflict, initially fearing the move to be too escalatory. Describing this hesitation, Penn said that “at some point, caution becomes cowardice.”
As you might expect, the interviewer refrained from challenging Penn on his claim that the likelihood of nuclear war is “extremely low” in spite of his acknowledgement that it’s a real possibility, or on his claim that resisting increasing the likelihood of nuclear war is an act of cowardice.
Sean Penn has been one of Hollywood’s most egregious empire apologists for some time now (in 2020 he told CNN that “there is no greater humanitarian force on the planet than the United States military”), but even by his standards these comments about nuclear brinkmanship are remarkably odious.
Hundreds of Palestinians gathered along the eastern border of Gaza, east of Gaza City and Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, in addition to Rafah and Khan Younis, in the southern part.
Israeli soldiers stationed at military posts along the eastern borders of Gaza, opened fire with live ammunition and tear gas canisters, at Palestinian demonstrators.
Slightly over a week ago, all major collective West news outlets carried the story of a rocket attack on a crowded market in Konstantinovka, a town which is under Kiev regime control. It was announced that as a result of the blast 17 people were killed, including a child, and 32 were injured.
Within minutes of the occurrence the accusation was hurled that the missiles that hit the market were Russian and that the Russian side in the conflict was therefore responsible for the mayhem.
UPDATE! NYT exposes Zelensky lie about Donbass missile strike .. An investigation contradicts the Ukrainian president’s claim that a Russian attack killed civilians the same day as a visit by the US secretary of state……. Russia
At the time when these statements were being made, which was literally within minutes of the occurrence to which they referred, there was no evidence whatsoever, firm or circumstantial, to corroborate them.
Quite the contrary, the circumstantial evidence pointed in the opposite direction.
Amateur videos from the scene posted on social networks portrayed shoppers who heard the sound of incoming projectiles turning their heads to look in the direction away from where the missiles would have come from, if they had been Russian.
That strongly suggested that the missiles were launched from territory under the control of the Ukrainian military.
As with the Bucha atrocity, (which changed the course of the war with a queue of States promising arms and sanctions for Ukraine, and later was totally disproved and disappeared from the media), proofs of a false flag were totally ignored, along with common sense.
We’re supposed to believe that Russia decided to massacre innocent ethnic Russians in Donbass that its fighting to defend, indeed who are Russian citizens under Russian law, and to do it, what a coincidence that it was just when Blinken was visiting and all the world media were present. What possible motivation could they have had? –Just because Putin is Satan of course?.
So far, almost ten days after the widely publicised event, no forensic investigation with verifiable data is reported to have been performed, under anybody’s auspices, Ukrainian or international. As a result, each and every statement made about the blast by Ukrainian or Western officials is unsupported by evidence and is purely conjectural.
His Ukraininian counterpart Dmitro Kuleba and Secretary of State Antony Blinken visit a cemetery on September 6, 2023. The counter-offensive is a failure and the whole proxy war is a carnage for the Ukrainian cannon fodder (official).. In contrast, I have already assessed that in such occasion, Ukraine is able to commit false flag war crimes. A Ukrainian ballistic missile hit Kramatorsk railway station on April 8, 2022, when the guest in Kiev was the president of the European commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Both cities are in Donbass, where the inhabitants are Russian-speaking and widely pro-Russia. The Ukrainian nationalists are feeling enough hatred to slaughter them for PR purpose, all the more when the Atlanticist counter-offensive is a bloody failure and Ukraine needs more support than ever from NATO.
That happened literally from one day to the next. The day of the blast, September 6, and before any reliable information could have been available, a Wikipedia article accusing Russia for the incident in Konstantinovka was hastily posted. (Ludicrously, in deference to Kiev regime’s linguistic edicts Wikipedia refers to the town as “Kostiantynivka,” to stress its non-Russian character.)
By Googling “Konstantinovka attack” one gets a long series of videos and articles all contending unanimously, as in the Reuters report, that “Russian attack kills 17 in east Ukraine as Blinken visits Kyiv, officials say”. But every single one of these reports is dated September 6 or 7, 2023, and from then on, as if by magic, all references to the crime cease.
Hard as one may look, after September 7 there is no mention of the event that just the day before provoked such enormous indignation and, in the opinion of the highest officials, merited the use of dramatic expressions such as “evil,” “heinous,” and “barbaric.”
Julian Röpcke is a Russophobic editor for German tabloid Bild, but a conscientious journalist. Paradoxical situation, he tells reality, that the missile has struck Konstantinovka from the northwest, while in most Western media, the courtiers are carrying on deliberately spreading the Ukrainian fake news.
Why was there no follow-up? Why was such an initially promising false flag operation, which cost the lives of more than a few innocent individuals, suddenly dropped?
One can only speculate about the reasons. As we explained in our original piece on this subject, historically there is a very strong correlation between false flag operations and specific political events that are meant to be exploited by the falsely directed emotions that the event was provoked to generate. In this case, that is obviously Secretary Blinken’s visit, into which the Kiev regime had invested enormous hopes in terms of additional material assistance and support.
However, based on everything we now know about the results of that visit, the regime received very disappointing news about its Western sponsors’ readiness to maintain their support at the expected level. In light of these realities, the regime may have concluded that further fanfare about the Konstantinovka market blasts would be unproductive.
Western sponsors, on the other hand, may have decided to cut off media coverage which would have enhanced the victim image of their proxies that they are slowly preparing to ditch, generating moral pressure to continue to back them with the same intensity.
Without the logistical support of the Western propaganda machine no other outcome was conceivable and the Konstantinovka story could only die a natural death. That is exactly what happened.
We must remember, however, that besides the propaganda story there are sixteen or seventeen, by various counts, innocent people who are also dead.
Their violent death was cynically arranged by the Kiev Nazi regime to try to improve its political position as its fortunes deteriorate on every front. The victims of this outrage in Konstantinovka, as well as the victims of similar false flags in Bucha and Kramatorsk, deserve justice. The perpetrators must be punished.
As we have repeatedly argued, it is necessary to consider without delay the issue of putting in place serious and effective legal mechanisms to identify and punish perpetrators of crimes against humanity such as we have just witnessed in Konstantinovka.
The criminals may be beyond the reach of justice at the present moment, but that is bound to change soon. When that happens, justice must be ready to spring into action.
The Konstantinovka incident demonstrates once again the need for Russia to declare universal jurisdiction over all crimes against humanity committed in the context of the conflict which began in 2014, reserving the right to prosecute related crimes which may have been committed anywhere on the territory of rump Ukraine, the Russian Federation, or in any other location.
Since Konstantinovka happens to be in the Ukrainian-occupied portion of Donetsk Region, a territory which has been legally incorporated into the Russian Federation, no special jurisdiction is required to prosecute parties suspected to be guilty of this market massacre, on the basis of individual, command, or joint criminal enterprise modes of criminal liability.
But elsewhere the situation may not be as simple. Bucha is an example that comes to mind immediately of a similar crime where additional jurisdictional powers would be required to prosecute.
Let us hope that the Konstantinovka false flag murder operation will be a clarion call to action to close off every remaining avenue of impunity that could be used to shield the perpetrators of such disgusting acts.
