APPEAL TO CITIZENS TO AVOID CONTAMINATION

If you see a street vendor on the street, don’t call the police to report them. Go and buy something from them.

If you notice they aren’t wearing a mask, don’t yell at them, try and get them one. Don’t be a cop.

If you hear that your neighbor is showing symptoms, don’t look out the window to see if they are shopping. Ask them if they need anything. Don’t be a cop..

Violencia policial | La web de Maco048. Criminología

If you see people walking around your neighborhood, try not to assume the worst, don’t call the police. Maybe they had to go to work. A lot of people don’t have the privilege of shutting themselves away at home with a full fridge. Don’t be a cop.

If you have to go out shopping, don’t make hateful glances at people around you for fear of infection. Just say hello. Make conversation. Other people aren’t your enemy. Don’t be a cop.

If you meet somebody who lives on the street, don’t cross the road out of fear. If you can, offer them food, a mask, water. Don’t be a cop.

LET’S NOT SPREAD THE COP-VIRUS.

It’s a virus that won’t leave us alone.

«Huelga de alquileres»: RentStrike «Es la hora de rescatar a las personas»

Bloque11EspecCampañasEstado español

Lanzan la web «suspensión de alquileres»: «Es la hora de rescatar a las personas»

Más de 200 organizaciones nos unimos en esta huelga de alquileres para exigir al Gobierno medidas que cubran los derechos más básicos durante el confinamiento.

Por Suspensión de Alquileres Publicado el Mar 31, 2020

  1. Suspensión de los pagos del alquiler e hipotecarios a la vivienda habitual. Y la condonación de las deudas inquilinas e hipotecarias contraídas a raíz de la pandemia. Hay que aliviar la asfixia económica de la población. En este aspecto iterpelamos a la responsabilidad social de los arrendadores, habida cuenta de las execciones fiscales de las que disfrutan y pagamos entre todas.
  2. Suspensión del pago de los suministros básicos de agua, luz y gas. Hablamos de servicios básicos para garantizar la vida de las familias. Endesa, Iberdrola y Naturgy cosecharon más de 5.700 millones de beneficios en el último año. Lo que supone que el encarecimiento de las facturas aumentó 35 veces más que el consumo de energía.
  3. Poner las viviendas vacías a disposición de las personas que no disponen de una. Hay más de 35.000 personas sin hogar que necesitan una vivienda.

Sin embargo, no nos quedamos aquí. Somos conscientes de que las consecuencias socioeconómicas se mantendrán más allá del confinamiento. Por ello, nos adelantamos a este contexto proponiendo soluciones post-confinamiento:

  1. Mantener la suspensión del pago del alquiler el tiempo que sea necesario a aquellas personas en situación de vulnerabilidad.
  2. Suspensión indefinida de los desahucios y persecución de los desahucios ilegales. No aceptamos que vuelvan los desalojos tras el confinamiento. Antes de la pandemia, el número de desahuciosdesalojos que se había alcanzado desde 2008 ya superaba el millón de desahucios.
  3. Regulación del precio del alquiler. Ingresos bajos frente a precios altos es la fórmula de la asfixia económica. EAdemás, exigimos la bajada inmediata del precio del alquiler y que este vaya ligado a la renta disponible de los hogares. Los contratos de alquiler tienen que ser estables, que se renueven de manera automática, y se ponga fin así a la actual precariedad e incertidumbre.
  4. Que no se retroceda en medidas de protección tomadas durante el confinamiento. Manteniendo el alta de los suministros básicos a las personas vulnerables, el régimen de viviendas de alquiler para pisos turísticos y sustentar la moratoria de desahucios.
  5. Compromiso de no tomar represalias contra las huelguistas. Prohibiendo las demandas por impago a las inquilinas que se hayan unido a la huelga.
  6. Expropiación de pisos a fondo buitres y bancos. Debemos corresponsabilizar a aquellos actores que han hecho negocio con unel bien de primera necesidad como es la vivienda. Fondos buitres y bancos deben contribuir conproporcionar en dotar recursos para superar las consecuencias habitacionales de la pandemia. Recordemos que la banca fue rescatada con más de 65.000 millones de dinero público y los fondos buitre son maquinarias de evasión fiscal.

Hay que acabar con la lógica perversa de que las crisis sean sufragadas con recursos públicos. Durante esta pandemia ha quedado patente que necesitamos unos servicios públicos fuertes. Conceder privilegios a las grandes fortunas inmobiliarias mientras se recortan derechos sociales ha puesto nuestras vidas en riesgo. Las entidades financieras y los grandes propietarios de este país tienen que arrimar el hombro.

Los fondos buitre, socimi, bancos e inmobiliarias no van a tener problemas en asumir los costes de la suspensión de los alquileres. En relación a los arrendadores que tienen un única vivienda en propiedad y necesiten estos ingresos para cubrir sus necesidades básicas, también deben estar amparados por el Gobierno, como ya están haciendo a otros sectores.

Es la hora de rescatar a las personas. Es el momento de confinar privilegios. La suspensión del pago de los alquileres es el primer paso necesario para devolver la función social a la vivienda y superar las consecuencias sociales de la pandemia.

‘Suspend rent during Covid-19 pandemic’

Tenant unions warn many still at work despite health advice due to fear of missing payments

CAMPAIGNERS called for the suspension of rents today, arguing that government inaction will force people to keep working and put the public at risk.

Capitalist Death Panels: If Corporate Vultures Get Their Way, We’ll Be Dead —

The Trump administration is pushing a deadly cocktail of lies and propaganda.

This week on Intercepted: As coronavirus rapidly spreads throughout the United States, major public health organizations are warning that New York could become the next Wuhan.

While Trump fantasizes of wrapping up the virus in time for Easter church services, people are getting sick and dying, hospitals are overwhelmed, medical workers are begging for vital supplies and protesting their conditions.

As Congress continues to negotiate a bailout, Republicans seem intent on exploiting the crisis to enrich Wall Street, while Democrats offer meek resistance.

Matt Bruenig of the Peoples Policy Project breaks down the various proposals in Congress, compares the U.S. plans with other countries’ responses, and lays out some of the tenets of what a bailout for the people should look like.

Meanwhile, the fate of more than 2 million people locked up in U.S. jails and prisons hangs in the balance as coronavirus begins to spread among incarcerated populations.

Workers at carceral facilities are also getting sick. While some cities are working to release pre-trial detainees and people convicted of non-violent technical crimes, legal groups and human rights organizations are sounding the alarm bells on what could be a horrifying aspect of the coronavirus pandemic hitting people who are literally prevented from social distancing.

Premal Dharia, Founder and Director of the Defender Impact Initiative, describes the situation in carceral facilities across the U.S. and why she is warning of a humanitarian disaster if action is not taken immediately.

Coronavirias< Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! -standupandspit-

Coronavirias

I met a traveller from a Poundland,

Who said—“Two vast and discount toilet rolls

Stand in the Sainsburys. . . . Near them, on the stand,

Half sunk a shattered hand sanitizer lies, worn down,

And wrinkled tip, and nearby a coal tar multipack,

Tell that its panic buyer well those passions read

Which yet survive, price stamped on these lifeless things,

Hands washed to National Anthem, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Coronavirus, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal shop, boundless and bare

The lone and level stands stretch far away.”

The animal industry only produces victims —African swine fever (ASP) in Poland.

The case has already been reported to the European Animal Disease Notification System. The first suspicion arose on March 18, then confirmation on Saturday, reports the trade magazine http://www.topagrar.com. The company is located in western Poland, around 65 km from the German border near the city of Grünberg.

The animal industry only produces victims — World Animals Voice .. shared with thanks

…My comment: African swine fever (ASP) has now arrived on a farm in western Poland. Not yet in Germany, but hysteria against wild boars has broken out like a pandemic, and tens of thousands of animals are at risk of “culling”.
Imagine that you would currently do the same with the Corona infected?
There were 599,855 wild boars shot in Germany in the 2018/19 season. Preventive only!

Hunters display boars after a battue in Valbonne

Innocent victims for a man-made illness.
All point a finger at the wild boar. The pathogen only migrates through wild boars about 20 kilometers a year. The government does not speak of hunting, but of disease control !!!

Coronavirus: The Spanish mortality rate is 15 times higher than in Germany


By Kaos. Kaos. Estado Español, Spanish State
Shared with thanks. Translation TheFreeOnline

On Sunday, March 22, the official number of those affected by coronavirus in Germany (22213) was similar to that of the Spanish State (28603). However, the death toll is much lower in the Germanic country (93 deaths there for 1,756 here) despite almost doubling the Spanish population. The death rate is therefore 15 times lower in Germany: 0.4% by 6.13%. How do you explain that abysmal difference?

In this regard, Fernando Simón, director of the Center for the Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies in the Spanish State, said publicly that he could not explain it. “We do not know,” he replied Friday in his daily appearance before the media in response to the question of how this abysmal difference in mortality between the two States was possible, which, as of March 22, is 19 times higher in the case of the Spanish State, whose population is 47 million compared to 83 in Germany.

Cold statistical data and analysis hide, as we know, a socially dramatic reality. In the Spanish State, the mortality caused by the coronavirus is not only, or even mainly, due to its lethality: it is mainly of public health, a macabre business at the cost of the health and life of the majority.

However, to know the health situation of both countries, it is worth taking a look at the health spending of each one: Germany in 2018 allocated 9.48% of its GDP to health spending, that is, 321,134 million, representing 21.36 % of total public spending. On the other hand, the Spanish State only dedicated 6.27% of its GDP, that is, 75.434 million, 15.14% of total public spending.

Therefore, while Germany spends 3,878 euros per inhabitant in health, the Spanish State only invests 1,616 euros:

if 9.48% of GDP were invested in health here as in Germany, health spending would have risen 38,000 euros more (more than the half that at present) going from 1600 euros to over 2400 per inhabitant and year.

Eric King: What It Means To Me

Published March 20, 2020

I first heard your voice when I was 15

Had no idea what it was to be free

Sheriffs kicking in doors, leaving furniture in the streets

Learning you could starve if you didn’t have the means

All the saints taught me, listen to no worldly kings

Principal, coaches & priests, all the same things

When the police blinded me with war chemicals

laughter was my partner, I hadn’t broken my rules

After god went away, Anarchy never faded

Politicians love to recruit but I can’t be persuaded

My anarchy, grew with me, walmart & McDonalds Protests

Activism always went through stages

learn-act, learn more-act more, growth, always growth

Sometimes I was an an archo-fascist, forcing my freedom

with fists and knives, words and hated

the first dominant behavior I had to destroy

Was my own loud-always-right voice

To me Anarchy meant facing up to my own

Patriarchy, xenophobia, racism, homophobia

All of my most productive battles weren’t vs cops

But against hidden learned behaviors

Anarchy meant allowing growth, loving myself

to acknowledge being harmful

The revolution always begins between our 2 ears

& the more I open myself to experiences not my own

The better I become

For me anarchy is in the heart & in the streets

I meant friendship, not chances to be judge

I’ve failed in this aspect many times

Anarchy was a way to live free

A way to find what that means

then instill it in my everyday life

Anarchy means standing up when it counts

Being there when able

My anarchism couldn’t have existed

In a vacuum removed from action

There was never a movement for me

nor was I a “loan wolf”

Sometimes comrades joined me

other times the goddess was my partner

There was no attendance, roll-call

Just a desire to make the world better

Anarchy to me meant love, it meant calm

it was living how you want the world to be

Some took it in lots of opposing directions

that was ok also

No one owns an idea

although some swear to have the receipt

My anarchism loved plants & nature

wasn’t a big fan of consumerism

& hated genocidal meat “farms”

… My anarchism loved people who love people

Cops, military folks, government bureaucrats were not welcome

If your prerogative was to limit, take from or own/control people

we were enemies

Does anarchy still exist?

I pray so

I’m afraid of the internet swallowing it whole

& “clicktivism” overriding activism

Of sectarianism splintering any progress being made

Of Trump wearing everyone out

then some being convinced in electoral leadership

But only if Berndog wins

Prisons need to be burned, CEOs beheaded

communities need to grow & heal together

That’s what Anarchism is to me

Action based healing and growing
