August 5, 2014..Islamic State executes 700 people from Syrian al-Shaitat tribe

Justice for the victims of the al-Shaitat massacre is only just starting to emerge, and the international community must do its part.

The specter of the Islamic State continues to conjure up harrowing memories throughout their former areas of operation and control. In the Deir al-Zour province, for example, one memory of violence immediately comes to mind: the massacre carried out against the al-Shaitat tribe in eastern Deir al-Zour.

Every year on the ninth of August, the families of the victims commemorate the massacre, trying to draw the world’s attention to what happened nine years ago at the hands of Daesh

Nevertheless, in the towns of Abu Hamam, al-Kashkiyah and Gharanij—the scene of these deliberate attacks in 2014—there now exists hope for a better future at the economic, social, and security levels in spite of the trauma that continues to haunt its residents.

The al-Shaitat tribe—occupants of the town of Abu Hamam and the surrounding villages of al-Kashkiyah and al-Gharanij—are a sub-branch of the large al-Akidat tribe that extends deep into Iraq as well as Syria.

August 2014 Massacre And Media: ISIS And The massacre Of the Shaitat Tribe …

The arab al-Shaitat tribe made a name for themselves during the period of the Islamic State’s campaign, both in their singular act of resistance against Daesh in the early days of their operation in Syria and in the brutal reprisal Daesh enacted in response.

Understanding the factors leading up to the massacre and the repercussions that still continue in the region are vital for understanding the legacy of Daesh in Syria, and in working to obtain justice for the victims and their families.

Global Fossil Fuel Subsidies Reached 7,000,000,000,000 $$$$$ – 7 Trillion in 2022

Every year WORSE… STOP these greedy bastards RACING to destroy Earth…

//from thefreeonline on 13th Sept 23 by e360.yale.edu

If the price of fossil fuels reflected their actual cost, carbon emissions would drop by 43 percent by 2030, and 1.6 million people yearly would be spared an early death from air pollution, the analysis found.

An analysis of policies in 170 countries found that explicit subsidies, such as price caps on fuel, accounted for 18 percent of this total. With Russia’s war on Ukraine roiling energy markets, many governments have placed limits on the price of fossil fuels, giving money back to consumers when prices exceeded those limits.

An All-Time High

The other 82 percent of fossil fuel subsidies were implicit. These included tax breaks for oil firms, but also the unpaid cost of climate change and air pollution as a result of burning fossil fuels.

Consumers do not pay directly for the damage caused by their use of fossil fuels. Overall, undercharging for these damages amounted to 60 percent of subsidies, the analysis found.

Analysts called for phasing out both explicit and implicit subsidies. That would mean eliminating price caps and tax breaks, and also imposing a tax on the consumption of fossil fuels to account for the damage inflicted by their use.

Higher prices, analysts said, would curb the use of fossil fuels, helping to cut pollution, stem climate change, and improve public health.

Comment

A small part of the immense Fossil Fuel Subsidy PROFITS goes to financing and spreading insane CLIMATE DENIAL RELIGION, now flourishing online in the USA – a special insult to those of us who spent a generation campaigning against Climate and Ecocide denial by the US Govt and Corporations…. Now is the time for all Earth lovers to resist…HOWEVER WE CAN!

Running Down the Walls – planned Anti Prison Events around Sept 17th-

Announcing annual Running Down the Walls events ,17th Sept 2023, happening across the US to benefit political prisoners.

/from thefreeonline by Anarchist Black Cross Federation at It’s Going Down

Since 1999, prisoners and supporters throughout North America have participated in the annual event known as Running Down the Walls (RDTW) often running or walking simultaneously in many cities and prisons at once.

Many places will be hosting RDTW 2023 on or around Sunday, September 17th – see participating cities below.

This is a non-competitive 5K run/jog/walk/roll in order to raise awareness and funds for political prisoners. Over the years, we have raised thousands of dollars and lots of awareness around the struggle to free political prisoners.

An important component of Running Down the Walls is the solidarity runs that take place throughout numerous cities. Solidarity runs that are held in our communities are designed to illustrate, through several small collective actions, that we have not forgotten our comrades locked up behind prison walls.

Runs that are held in prisons are designed to both politicize other prisoners and to illustrate that the acts of solidarity have been heard.

This annual event is also one of the primary fundraisers for the ABCF Warchest Program – a fund designed to assist political prisoners who normally received little or no financial support with monthly checks.

Other funds raised should be used to support local groups of your choosing, whether that is your own organization or another group you’d like to support. The choice is yours.

Vietnam Refuses to Join ‘US-Orchestrated’ Anti-China Coalition

As part of an effort to woo Vietnam to join its illegal military and sanctions crusade against China, US President Joe Biden visited Hanoi

/from thefreeonline on 12th Aug 2023 by Western Banned Media:

VIRAL Video: ‘Confused’ Biden’s Mic CUT OFF In Vietnam

nurturing hopes of signing a “comprehensive strategic partnership agreement” with the dynamically developing Southeast Asian nation.

Washington is eyeing “swaying Vietnam to its side,” for it believes the US can use Hanoi as “a counterbalance to China’s influence in South East Asia,” Professor Anna Malindog-Uy, vice president of the Manila-based think tank Asian Century Philippines Strategic Studies Institute (ACPh), told Sputnik.

However, there is no indication that Vietnam has any interest in joining the “US-orchestrated” coalition against China, consisting of Washington’s allies, Anna Malindog-Uy added.

The Brutal History Of Agent Orange And Its Tragic Victims – All That’s …Published April 16, 2023 Updated June 7, 2023 From 1961 to 1971, the U.S. used the herbicide and defoliant Agent Orange in Vietnam, leaving behind millions of victims with deadly diseases and birth defects. For ten years in Vietnam, it rained a chemical mist.

US President Joe Biden’s meeting with Vietnamese General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and other key leaders in Hanoi on September 10 comes as part of the latest page in the US’ Indo-Pacific playbook.

Suffice it to recall how Biden hosted Philippine President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in Washington in May, then welcomed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House in June, and threw open the doors of his Camp David presidential retreat to his Japanese and South Korean counterparts mid-August.

The trilateral summit with South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is regarded by pundits talking to Sputnik as part of an effort blatantly tailored to forge a new alliance against China and the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea (DPRK).

The US has also been posturing in the Indo-Pacific region by holding a slew of large military drills with Japan, Australia, and the Philippines in the South China Sea in recent days.

Biden’s Trilateral Summit With South Korea, Japan Aimed at ‘Accelerating’ Anti-China Policy

Vietnam is vital to US foreign policy for several political, economic, and geopolitical reasons, the professor underscored. Firstly, the “strategic geographical location” of Vietnam in Southeast Asia (SEA) is important to the US. Vietnam boasts “close contiguity and nearness to major global shipping lines like the South China Sea (SCS), and it has a border with China,” Anna Malindog-Uy stressed.

Geopolitically Strategic Location

Vietnam plays a crucial role in US foreign policy due to its “strategic location, economic significance, and potential to counterbalance China,” according to Professor Anna Malindog-Uy.

“American companies have invested in Vietnam, and trade relations have expanded. Since Vietnam is a member of ASEAN, a regional body that is important to the US, especially on issues such as economic integration, security, and diplomacy, this makes Vietnam a vital partner of the US in advancing its interests in the Indo-Pacific region.

The US is likewise keen on upgrading its relations with Vietnam from a ‘comprehensive partnership,’ established in 2013, to a ‘strategic’ partnership.'”

Hanoi is being eyed by Washington for its perceived “potential to counterbalance China,” the expert added.

“The evolving relationship between the United States and Vietnam manifests the broader and active US engagement in the Asia-Pacific region and underscores Vietnam’s growing importance as a regional partner,” Anna Malindog-Uy emphasized.

Vietnam became a focal point for US diplomacy when it became the sixth member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in July 1995, the same month Vietnam and the United States normalized relations, concurred Carl Thayer.

The Childhood Vaccination Schedule Starting with Hepatitis B

In the conventional narrative it is accepted as an article of faith that vaccines are miraculous discoveries responsible for global disease eradication and are the most important medical product for disease prevention.

The United States Childhood Immunization Schedule – An Overview

In the past few decades the childhood vaccine schedule in the United States has exploded into what is now the most aggressive childhood vaccination schedule in the world. It wasn’t always this way. Most baby boomers likely had only 2 or 3 vaccinations- polio, smallpox and DTP with never more than one shot given per visit.

With the recent addition of the COVID-19 vaccines to the childhood schedule the number of recommended injections ballooned to a regimen of 72 injections of 90 antigens by age eighteen for any child that undergoes the full immunization schedule circa 2023.

[…]

The first vaccine mandate in the United States was enacted in Massachusetts in 1810 and was centered on smallpox. The legislation was essentially an ad hoc law which gave local health boards the authority to require vaccination.

The first public school mandate was issued in Massachusett in the 1850’s. At that time the only vaccine of interest was for smallpox. By the end of the 1800s most states in New England had smallpox vaccine requirements for children attending public schools.

The next significant stride in vaccine recommendations and requirements for children would arrive a century later in 1954, focusing on the polio vaccine developed by Jonas Salk.

[…]

The 1960s and 1970s saw a wave of new vaccines hit the market. A second type of polio vaccine was developed along with the first Hepatitis B vaccine. Measles vaccines were developed as a single vaccine and then combined with the mumps and rubella vaccines to create the “MMR” vaccine.

[…]

By 1977, the U.S. federal government had set up the Childhood Immunization Initiative which sought to increase vaccination rates in children against seven diseases (diphtheria, measles, mumps, pertussis, poliomyelitis, rubella, tetanus) for which vaccines had been developed. This began the process by which all 50 states would adopt mandatory school vaccinations.

In the 1980s, vaccines against Hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and pneumococcal disease were recommended for children at different ages. By 1983 the number of recommended injections had increased to 23 doses of 7 vaccines by age six.

In 1986, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act created a system of passive and active surveillance for cases of adverse reactions to vaccines as well as a mechanism to compensate any persons injured by vaccines.

With the passage of the 1986 Act and its implementation in 1988, a liability shield for pharmaceutical companies was created. On the heels of the 1986 Act the number of vaccines placed on the CDC schedule would escalate.
