Members of the Cuninico community blocked the passage of a tourist boat to draw government attention to a toxic oil spill.

An indigenous group in Peru’s Amazon rainforest has freed about 100 riverboat passengers – including foreigners – who were held for a day in protest over what the community alleged to be government inaction over toxic oil spills.
The Cuninico indigenous group, from the Urarinas district in Loreto province in Peru’s Amazon rainforest, had held the passengers – which included citizens of France, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States and Peru – to raise awareness about the oil spillage in a local river, according to local media.
“We were just all freed, we have boarded a boat and are on our way to (the city of) Iquitos,” one of the freed tourists, Peruvian Angela Ramirez, told Reuters news agency on Friday.
Peru’s independent public defender agency said on Twitter that “after dialogue with the (head) of the Cuninico communities, our request to release people was accepted”.
Local media outlet RPP said none of the tourists was harmed during the protest.

The UK’s foreign ministry said in a statement it was in contact with local authorities regarding a “very small number of British nationals involved in an incident in Peru”.
HUMEDALES DEL PARANA: ¡NO SALTAR DE LA SARTEN AL FUEGO!

Desde hace más de tres décadas los poderes financieros y económicos extranjeros impusieron a nuestra nación un Modelo Capitalista Neocolonial, basado en un feroz extractivismo minero, petrolero, forestal, marítimo, agropecuario y agro-portuario trasnacional.
El ecocidio, los daños humanos y sociales están a la vista… ¡y sus responsable directos son los GOBERNADORES y los INTENDENTES que actuaron como unidad ejecutora de este letal Modelo Capitalista Neocolonial!
En este marco emerge la consigna ¡Ley de Humedales YA!, que moviliza especialmente a los jóvenes que confían en el rol disruptivo QUE LA LEY NO TIENE.
En efecto: El Proyecto Consensuado de Ley de Humedales del diputado Grosso (FDT- Mov. Evita) -respaldado críticamente hasta ahora por el Frente de Izquierda Unidad (FIT-U)- tiene aspectos valiosos porque concentra definiciones, debates, saberes…
La firma del acuerdo permitió desconvocar una huelga indefinida que estaba prevista para el 25 de octubre. El consejero de Sanidad de la comunidad, Enrique Ruiz Escudero, niega las renuncias «en bloque» y habla de «reajustes». El «caos» en la reapertura de las urgencias de atención primaria en Madrid ha provocado una cascada de dimisiones y, finalmente, […]
Sitting on the edge of a collection of about 60 tents pitched alongside the American River, Twana James is doing her best to comfort a friend at the end of her wits.

All day, the woman says, she had been waiting for a caseworker from a Sacramento non-profit to come pick her up and put her on a list for housing. “You wait all day for somebody to come and get you and they don’t come,” she cries in despair.
James offers her a ride to a shelter that provides food, showers and counseling. She makes a cheeky comment about her friend’s hair, eliciting a laugh.
It’s the sort of thing James, 53, does often. She’s a longtime resident of this encampment in California’s capital, and a caretaker for many of the elderly people who call it their home.
On the midterm ballot is Measure O, which would direct the city manager to establish a minimum number of shelter spaces
Dubbed the Island, the tents stretch out on a picturesque plot of land along the American River. The camp is a quick walk from a busy road, but feels like a world away from the nearby office buildings and Mexican chain restaurant. The secluded community has been there for decades, forming a tight group over the years. But it has expanded in recent years, as homelessness in the city and county has climbed to record levels.
During the pandemic, the unhoused population has soared all over California, but the increase in Sacramento has been particularly stunning.
The region has seen an almost 70% rise in homelessness since 2019, now counting more unhoused people than San Francisco. At least 9,278 people are estimated to be without a home, the majority of whomsleep outdoors or in vehicles. Encampments can be seen on levees, near schools and next to busy roads.
The primary force behind the dramatic rise, according to the 2022 point-in-time count, is the high cost of housing. The median home pricein the county has surpassed $500,000 and the median monthly rent is $2,774, up more than 5% from last year. Some studios downtown rent for $2,000 a month, said Crystal Sanchez, the president of the Sacramento Homeless Union, while thousands of people sleep outside.
see Also Data suggests sudden adult death syndrome due to vaccines. Jun 27, 2022″In 2021, excess deaths (an astounding 40 percent) started in March, exactly concurrent with the start of vaccine rollout and soared as the year progressed … Nothing else happened in March except the vaccine rollout. Nothing else accelerated in 2021, except the vaccine rollout! Deaths increased with increasing doses”.
Several commenters on Kirsch’s Substack page provided the breakdown of this figure, which the investigador attested to. They quoted Our World in Data’s finding that 12.46 billion COVID-19 vaccines had been injected into people’s arms worldwide.
“In my opinion, a reasonable estimate is to divide the number of doses by 1,000. A more conservative number is to divide the number of doses by 2,500,” said Kirsch, who is also a vaccine safety advocate.
🚨 These figures are insane, yet no TV coverage.
24,440 NON-COVID UK excess deaths since May 2022
We are now seeing more excess deaths a week than in 2020 or 2021.
“We are approaching the number of six million Jews killed in the Holocaust over 12 years worldwide, at a rate at least six times faster than the Germans did. We are killing close to 10,000 people every single day; the latest rate was roughly 8.46 million doses a day.”
The entrepreneur lamented this vaccine holocaust: “We are killing an awful lot of people, but world leaders are looking the other way and saying nothing while all of us watch the high number of death reports in the media of people who died ‘unexpectedly’ and hear no explanation.”
“The vaccine is never mentioned in any of these unexplained death reports, yet people all over the world have noticed that these unexpected deaths are only happening to the vaccinated.”
According to Kirsch, hundreds of people at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – both currently employed and retired – remain silent over the matter. Even former President Donald Trump refuses to speak out, he added.
“This is why we have no debates, only censorship – so the killing continues unabated.”
UK entering the next stage of vaccine holocaust with omicron-specific vaccine
According to Kirsch, the first COVID-19 vaccine was injected on Dec. 8, 2020 in the United Kingdom – marking the start of a historic mass vaccination program. France followed suit 19 days later on Dec. 27, 2020 when the country’s first COVID-19 vaccine dose was injected there. Since then, the mass vaccination campaign against COVID-19 has been ongoing for 23 months.
The U.K. also opened the next phase of the vaccine holocaust on Aug. 15, 2022 when it approved Moderna’s next generation COVID-19 vaccine. The new vaccine – dubbed mRNA-1273.214 or Spikevax Bivalent – was tailored for the original SARS-CoV-2 strain and the B11529 omicron variant.

If you recall, on August 31, the FDA announced that they had amended the original Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 mRNA vaccine EUA’s to include their new bivalent boosters.
Complete safety trials still do not exist for either of the mixed vaccines which have killed millions and often cumilatively destroy our immune systems, while offering no more than 5 months theoretical protection to a virus no worse than a bad cold and gifting another $multi billion bonanza for Big Pharma and investors.
A Minnesota judge on Tuesday dismissed all charges against five water protectors arrested last year for protesting Canadian oil giant Enbridge’s plans for its tar sands pipeline to cross the the state’s Shell River in several places.
Opponents of Line 3 on Tuesday welcomed a Minnesota judge’s dismissal of all charges against five water protectors arrested last year for protesting plans to have the tar sands pipeline cross the Shell River in several places.
Framed as a replacement project by Canadian oil giant Enbridge, the new pipeline runs partly along a different route and roughly doubled the capacity of the initial Line 3. It began operating last month after years of construction and Indigenous-led protests.
Enbridge is paying $11M, more than $2M of which will go to the state. https://t.co/dvK5G5u3I3
Minnesota District Judge Doug Clark on Monday dismissed the cases of Cheryl Barnds, Mary Klein, Kelly Maracle, Trish Weber and Barbara With “on grounds that the state had failed to demonstrate probable cause to sustain all charges,” according to Honor the Earth and the legal groups representing the water protectors.
“In doing so, Judge Clark did not reach the Shell River defendants’ treaty-based claims.”
