Torres Strait 8: Australian Islanders in landmark climate fight

theguardian / BBC News / Video by Isabelle Rodd

A group of indigenous islanders from Australia’s Torres Strait has launched a world-first legal battle in a bid to protect their homes.

Yessie Mosby fears he may be forced to leave the coral cay where his ancestors have lived for thousands of years.

They argue Australia has breached their rights to culture and life by failing to adequately address climate change.

The low-lying islands, located on the northern tip of Australia, have seen rising sea levels, coastal erosion and flooding in recent years.

It’s the first time a claim of this kind has been taken to the UN Human Rights Committee.

”Risk of dying after vaccine .. higher than risk of dying from Covid” .. Norway bans Astra Zeneca.

note: Norway has a low rate of Covid infections and deaths, recently just a few every day. The Euro statistics site EudraVigilance gives no breakdown of vaccine reaction deaths by country , but the total deaths due to vaccine reactions added up to 5,915 in the EU, up to April 2nd 2021, and increased by 1,951 since the March 13 figures (about 93 a day) . We might therefore estimate that in some other EU countries or regions, (especially those in which, like Norway, most old people have already been vaccinated), ”deaths from the vaccine may be more than those estimated for Covid itself”, at least in the same time frames.

Women in Turkey lose legal protection, rights: .. dozens jailed, protests attacked

Once again, the Turkish occupation state announces its racist and patriarchal mentality and its targeting of women by its withdrawal from the “Istanbul Convention,” so that the question remains unable to find an answer about which article of Turkish law will protect women in the country?

from Hawarnews.com/13 Apr 2021, /by KOBANE -NIHAD KAREO / Duvar English / ANF / shared with thanks

Women in Turkey suffer from gender discrimination between them and men in terms of employment and study in universities, and the violence they are subjected to without a law protecting them, not to mention the ban on the veil that was imposed on them years ago, which caused a women’s revolution in the country at the time.

El Estado español destina más 30.000 millones a gasto militar y control social .. Esp/ Eng

Por Grup Antimilitarista Tortuga14 Abr, 2021

32.389,44 millones como mínimo en 2020.
¿Será 32.389,44 millones como mínimo *en 2021*? En el interior también dice: «Presupuestado para 2020» ¿Será «para 2021»?

Ya queda poquito para que nos toque hacer la declaración de la renta. Y bueno… otro año más diferentes personas, colectivos antimilitaristas y movimientos sociales queremos que le quede claro al estado que no queremos colaborar con nuestros impuestos ni con la guerra, ni con la represión política, ni con el control que ejerce, sobre todo, con la parte menos poderosa de la población.

Por ello desde Tortuga consideramos que es importante que sepas hasta qué punto emplea la administración los impuestos para sostener estas penosas realidades.

España se convirtió en el séptimo exportador mundial de armas …

Eso sí, no podemos decirte qué cantidad exacta destina el estado español (incluyendo a sus autonomías) para llevar a cabo estas políticas nefastas. No es posible, puesto que este esconde, como bien puede, estas vergonzosas partidas. Lo que sí podemos ofrecerte es una estimación a la baja de estos gastos:

Y el resultado (32.389,44 millones de euros) multiplica casi por cuatro el presupuesto del ministerio de defensa. Podemos asegurar, por tanto, que el estado español en 2020 destinó 686, 13 euros, como mínimo, por cada habitante a gasto militar y de control social.

Desde 2018 poco han variado estas cantidades, pues el estado ha venido prorrogando sus presupuestos. Las diferencias proceden de algunas comunidades autónomas, cuyos gastos de control social tampoco son siempre fácilmente identificables.

Antimilitarism
For another year the State allocates more than 30,000 billion euros to military spending and social control

32,389.44 million at least in 2020.
Will it be 32,389.44 million at least * in 2021 *? Inside it also says: “Budgeted for 2020” Will it be “for 2021”?

There is little left for us to make the income statement. And well … another year more different people, antimilitarist groups and social movements, we want it to be clear to the state that we do not want to collaborate with our taxes or with the war, or with political repression, or with the control it exercises, above all, with the least powerful part of the population.

Noviolencia ética y política

For this reason, at Tortuga we consider that it is important that you know to what extent the administration uses taxes to sustain these painful realities.

Of course, we cannot tell you what exact amount the Spanish state allocates (including its autonomies) to carry out these nefarious policies. It is not possible, since it hides, as well as it can, these shameful games. What we can offer you is a low estimate of these expenses:

And the result (32,389.44 million euros) multiplies almost by four the budget of the defense ministry. We can assure, therefore, that the Spanish state in 2020 allocated 686, 13 euros, at least, for each inhabitant to military spending and social control.

Antimilitarismo, una visión anarquista

These amounts have changed little since 2018, as the state has been extending its budgets. The differences come from some autonomous communities, whose social control expenses are not always easily identifiable either.

Soon, making Tax Objection to Military Expenditure when we have to make the rent, we will be able to settle accounts.

Rojava is a Beacon of Hope. And so is Abdullah Öcalan

Defending Rojava means defending Öcalan

Download PDF

There are some days when we no longer see the sky with so many enemies around us. The apocalypse seems more likely than the end of capitalism and we are surrounded by patriarchal attacks – inside and outside of us.

Sometimes I can no longer believe that we can make revolution – revolution what does that even mean? A different life? All this seems so far away, so abstract- really like a distant utopia.

And in all this leftist depression, Rojava is like a huge beacon of hope. Rojava, that is a revolution in the 21st century. This is a revolution that combines so many struggles, so many ideas – a society that organizes itself, a society without state, a society based on gender liberation and ecology. An anti-fascist revolution against colonialism, against imperialism.
