If words are as dangerous as bullets
and sharp as knives
Can we start filling the pages?
grinding our pencils to stubs
Turning ink into guillotines
prose the ropes onto their wrist
and rhyme these prison walls to paste
cause nothing else seems to be working
heads aren’t rolling, the streets are on holiday
maybe enough words can spark
a million fires in our hearts
which would create a million fires in the banks
a million convicts in the streets
Not giving a fuck about a voters box
Giving a fuck about having a life
our words can break these chains?
then gather our dictionaries
there aren’t enough thesauruses in the world
I need to fight more, I need to write more
My tongue has been shackled
I haven’t resisted, I haven’t insisted
More words, more battles, more victories
more poems, more struggle, more bumps
We’d be fighting with our minds
dismantling the system that strangles us
Then turning those words into life
A life more important than burning and bombing
Enough magic, love, growth and life
We can grow into a space worth existing in
Our words can get us free.

Who is Eric King?

by Eric King Support Crew

Eric G. King, a 33-year-old vegan anarchist political prisoner and poet, was arrested and charged with an attempted firebombing of a congressperson’s office in Kansas City, Missouri, in September 2014. As part of his plea and sentencing, Eric publicly and proudly acknowledged that his intent was to take direct political action in solidarity with the community of Ferguson, Missouri, following the August 2014 police killing of Michael Brown Jr.

Eric was charged with throwing a hammer through a window of the building, followed by two lit Molotov cocktails. The criminal complaint states that both incendiary devices failed to ignite. Eric was identified as a suspect by local police because he had previously come under suspicion for anti-government and anti-police graffiti.

On March 3, 2016, he accepted a non-cooperating plea agreement to one count of using “explosive materials to commit arson of property used in or affecting interstate commerce.” Almost three months later, on June 28, Eric was sentenced to 10 years, the statutory minimum and maximum for the charge he pleaded guilty to.

He is also maintaining his dedication to struggling for a world free of domination and oppression.

Since his arrest and subsequent incarceration, he has been extremely isolated from his loved ones and has repeatedly been targeted by the guards, who have regularly put him in jeopardy. At CCA Leavenworth, where Eric was held in pretrial detention, he was kept in segregation for six months at one point and was often subjected to stints in solitary confinement after the guards targeted him.

Despite these struggles, he continues to maintain his good spirits and resolve to see this situation through to the end. He is also maintaining his dedication to struggling for a world free of domination and oppression.

Eric is currently facing one count of assaulting a government official for an incident that occurred in August 2018 at FCI Florence. Eric has been housed in a segregation cell at FCI Englewood since August 2019 fighting this charge and is on “restricted general correspondence.” He can only receive mail from his wife and mother for a six-month period minimally and cannot receive books and magazines. He faces a maximum of 20 additional years in prison and is fighting his case under very bleak circumstances and harassment by Bureau of Prisons staff.

traducción literal de su poema

Si las palabras fueron tan peligrosas como las balas

por Eric King

Si las palabras son tan peligrosas como las balas
y afilado como cuchillos
¿Podemos empezar a llenar las páginas?
moliendo nuestros lápices en trozos
Convirtiendo tinta en guillotinas
prosa las cuerdas en su muñeca
y rima estas paredes de la prisión para pegar
porque nada más parece estar funcionando
las cabezas no ruedan, las calles están de vacaciones
tal vez suficientes palabras puedan provocar
un millón de fuegos en nuestros corazones
que crearía un millón de incendios en los bancos
un millón de presos en las calles
Me importa un carajo una caja de votantes
Me importa un carajo tener una vida
nuestras palabras pueden romper estas cadenas?
luego reúna nuestros diccionarios
no hay suficientes tesauros en el mundo
Necesito pelear más, necesito escribir más
Mi lengua ha sido encadenada
No he resistido, no he insistido
Más palabras, más batallas, más victorias
más poemas, más lucha, más golpes
Estaríamos luchando con nuestras mentes
desmantelando el sistema que nos estrangula
Luego convirtiendo esas palabras en vida
Una vida más importante que la quema y el bombardeo
Suficiente magia, amor, crecimiento y vida.
Podemos convertirnos en un espacio en el que valga la pena existir
Nuestras palabras pueden liberarnos.

¿Quién es Eric King?

por Eric King Support Crew

Eric G. King, un prisionero político y poeta anarquista vegano de 33 años, fue arrestado y acusado de intento de atentado con bombas incendiarias contra la oficina de un congresista en Kansas City, Missouri, en septiembre de 2014. Como parte de su declaración y sentencia, Eric públicamente y reconoció con orgullo que su intención era emprender acciones políticas directas en solidaridad con la comunidad de Ferguson, Missouri, tras el homicidio policial de Michael Brown Jr. en agosto de 2014.

Eric fue acusado de arrojar un martillo a través de una ventana del edificio, seguido de dos cócteles molotov encendidos. La denuncia penal afirma que ambos dispositivos incendiarios no se encendieron. Eric fue identificado como sospechoso por la policía local porque anteriormente había sido sospechoso de grafitis contra el gobierno y la policía.

El 3 de marzo de 2016, aceptó un acuerdo de declaración de culpabilidad de no cooperación por un cargo de uso de “materiales explosivos para cometer un incendio intencional de la propiedad utilizada o que afecta el comercio interestatal”. Casi tres meses después, el 28 de junio, Eric fue sentenciado a 10 años, el mínimo y máximo legal para el cargo del que se declaró culpable.

También mantiene su dedicación a luchar por un mundo libre de dominación y opresión.

Desde su arresto y posterior encarcelamiento, ha estado extremadamente aislado de sus seres queridos y ha sido blanco de los guardias en repetidas ocasiones, quienes regularmente lo han puesto en peligro. En CCA Leavenworth, donde Eric estuvo en prisión preventiva, estuvo en segregación durante seis meses en un momento dado y a menudo fue sometido a períodos en confinamiento solitario después de que los guardias lo atacaron.

A pesar de estas luchas, continúa manteniendo su buen humor y decidido a llevar esta situación hasta el final. También mantiene su dedicación a luchar por un mundo libre de dominación y opresión.

Eric se enfrenta actualmente a un cargo de agredir a un funcionario del gobierno por un incidente que ocurrió en agosto de 2018 en FCI Florence.

Eric ha estado alojado en una celda de segregación en FCI Englewood desde agosto de 2019 luchando contra este cargo y está en “correspondencia general restringida”. Solo puede recibir correo de su esposa y su madre durante un período mínimo de seis meses y no puede recibir libros ni revistas.

Se enfrenta a un máximo de 20 años adicionales de prisión y está luchando contra su caso en circunstancias muy sombrías y el hostigamiento por parte del personal de la Oficina de Prisiones.

Pentagon’s Brain Hijack project in Digitization of society: not Conspiracy Theory but a Terrible Reality..

https://kaosenlared.net/ March 15, 2022 By Rubén Alexis Hernández Arena, Translation /illustrations thefreeonline

leer en castellano Aquí

The advanced digitization-robotization of society, within the framework of the new world order in the process of consolidation, is a more than evident reality despite the fact that many citizens do not believe it that way, and even consider that it is a simple theory of conspiracy or something like that.

The digital-cybernetic society is here to stay unless hundreds of millions of people around the world react forcefully, and liquidate it together with the new corporocratic-totalitarian WEF world order.

A society that, if definitively materialized, would clearly be the most unequal, excluding, vigilant, controlling and oppressive in history, in which the elites in charge would try to reach the extreme of “merging” man with computers and other machines or devices (including the implant of microchips or nanochips), in order to “read” their thoughts, submit them to their will and therefore fully dominate them.

At this point, the economy is almost entirely digital, and soon cryptocurrencies will completely displace traditional money.

And soon, society will largely be totally influenced by digitization-robotization in all aspects of public and private life, according to what can be seen in the following texts, originating from sources that are not exactly ‘conspiracy theorist’:

“THE NATION ..Bill Gates anticipated what 2022 will be like and launched an alarming omen about the pandemic

Thu, Dec 30, 2021 3:14 AM .
Bill Gates talks about the trends that are coming for 2022 (EDITED) https://espanol.yahoo.com

Just take my Microchip in the back of your hand, and you will be SAVED..

The computer trillionaire Bill Gates assured us that … “digitization is here to stay.” He says the consequence of the health emergency, the use of technology has expanded and highlighted the launch of Meta, the project of the owner of Mark Zuckerberg, to support his companies under the concept of the metaverse, which is known as the next generation of the Internet. For Gates, it is “a very useful development.”

“In the next two or three years, most virtual meetings will move from rigid images on computers to a 3D space with digital avatars,” he said, indeed the technology already exists.

Gates also said there will be a direct impact on lifestyle, citing the development of telemedicine as an example. ‘Telehealth is not new, but its popularity during the pandemic was. In the last two years we have seen more people opt for virtual appointments instead of in-person care,’ he said.

Gates always talks of “We”, in his imagination everyone has and will have computers, internet, plenty of digital money and access to doctors who work online.

For Gates, the field of advancement is very large. ‘We are only at the beginning of how software will be able to innovate. The more we use digital tools, the more feedback we will have to use them “better”,’ he remarked”. https://espanol.yahoo.com/vida-estilo/predicciones-bill-gates-anticip%C3%B3-2022-064724112.htmlBy Jesus Diaz 03/24/2021

Pentagon plan to inject 80,000 million nanoparticles to read and control your brain

According to Sakhrat Khizroev, Elon Musk is wrong. It is impossible for us to access the brain with electrodes, connect it to machines efficiently, let alone unravel its secrets. The brain, says Khizroev, is too complex. And it seems that DARPA — the advanced research arm of the Pentagon — agrees with him (…).

Khizroev is an engineer and researcher leading a team of neuroscientists, physicists, chemists, biologists, and materials engineers in search of the holy grail of modern medical science: unlocking the secrets of the human brain and being able to communicate directly using a machine.

Fishing Coops fight Seabed Mining and International Arbitration

Around the world predator capitalist corporations are presenting earth destroying mining and chemical industries so that then they can sue the host countries for multi billions on ‘Potential Lost earnings’ under imposed trade agreements when their applications are resisted.

Pioneering deep sea mining machine

Governments are forced to give in or pay up under International Trade Agreement rules. This mega scam is known as The Investor State Dispute Settlement system (ISDS). Under arbitration it is ruled irrelevant that the projects were earth destroying, as the corporations seek compensation, not the go-ahead of the industries.

A Sea of Trouble: Seabed Mining and International Arbitration in Mexico

In the Gulf of Ulloa, a U.S. treasure-hunting company turned seabed mining outfit poses a dire risk to the environment.

by Jen Moore and Ellen Moore

The Gulf of Ulloa off the coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico teems with marine life, from gray whales to lobster.

Its seafloor is also rich in phosphate, a key component of fertilizers, at the center of a multi-billion-dollar arbitration suit that US company Odyssey Marine Exploration has brought against Mexico under the terms of the original North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Odyssey, a treasure hunting firm turned mining company with little revenue of its own, secured financing from a private litigation firm in the US to file the claim after local opposition arose to its project and Mexican authorities denied it an environmental permit.

The fishing concessions of the Puerto Chale Fishing Cooperative are where the company would like to dredge the seafloor. The Cooperative has opposed the project from the start and filed for permission to submit its concerns to the NAFTA tribunal in October with help from the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL).

They sought to communicate the impacts that this company’s project could have on their lives and environment, and why it was correct for Mexico’s environmental regulator to turn down a permit for the seabed mine according to the precautionary principle as found in national and international law.

As is common for an arbitration system designed to favor transnational corporations, the NAFTA tribunal recently refused to admit their submission. The majority on the three person panel of highly paid corporate lawyers says the cooperative’s input is basically not relevant.

Surprisingly, however, one arbitrator expressed a dissenting opinion, arguing that not only should the cooperative be heard, but that failing to admit their concerns exposes the failings of the arbitration system with potentially far reaching impacts on environmental protection in Mexico.

This case is not unique. Mining companies are bringing ever more arbitration suits over controversial projects that have given rise to broad community opposition over serious risks they pose to nature and community wellbeing. Puerto Chale’s concerns and exclusion from this current arbitration is further evidence of the unviability, not only of seabed mining, but of the international arbitration system itself.

Hunting for Treasure through International Arbitration

In the early 2000s, Odyssey Marine Exploration made headlines for major discoveries of centuries-old sunken ships filled with silver and gold. A decade later, with the treasure hunting business dried up and company shares dipping as low as two dollars, Odyssey jumped on the seabed mining boat, seeking a more lucrative business option by capitalizing on the false idea that future mineral demands require us to mine the ocean floor.

In 2012, Odyssey acquired a majority holding in Oceanic Resources (ExO) and obtained a 50-year, renewable concession for the Don Diego marine phosphate project in the Gulf of Ulloa.

Projected to cover 91 million hectares, the project would use large vessels to dredge the seabed, uprooting rock, sand, and organisms, which would be then transported onto the ship and separated to obtain the phosphate sand.

The remainder of the dredged material would be discharged back into the sea becoming a source of pollution, sedimentation, and potential radiation, given the presence of radioactive elements such as uranium and thorium.

Mexican environmental authorities denied Odyssey the environmental permit necessary to operate, arguing that the project is not viable based on the project’s projected impact on endangered species, such as the loggerhead turtle.

The authorities cited Odyssey’s proposal to use unproven technology, as well as its lack of experience in mining, technical expertise, or robust data on the viability of the deposit.
