Bloomington (USA): Anarchist sabotage of recruiting service cars | Attack

Fourteen tires were punctured on seven army recruitment service cars near the shopping center. Fourteen other tires at a security company nearby. Against the military machine. Against every nation state. Against those who protect private property.

Those who try to maintain peace in this time of upheaval are enemies of freedom. Those leading the ongoing death march are our primary targets.

Indian Navy as a net security guarantor in the South Asian region

By N. C. Bipindra With the changing sea line of communication and the economy’s eastward shift, maritime security has become one of the most substantial economic and human security pillars. Since the 2004 tsunami, the Indian Navy has consistently proven itself as the first responder to any crisis in the Indian Ocean region, showcasing its readiness and reliability in such…

"Diego Garcia is an island of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT)." "...an atoll occupying approximately 174 square kilometres (67 sq mi), of which 27.19 square kilometres (10 sq mi) is dry land.[92] The continuous portion of the atoll rim stretches 64 km (40 mi) from one end to the other, enclosing a lagoon 21 km (13 mi) long and up to 11 km (7 mi) wide, with a 6 km (4 mi) pass opening at the north. Three small islands are located in the pass.[93] The island consists of the largest continuous dryland rim of all atolls in the world. The dryland rim varies in width from a few hundred metres to 2.4 km. Typical of coral atolls, it has a maximum elevation on some dunes on the ocean side of the rim of 9 m (30 ft) above mean low water. The rim nearly encloses a lagoon about 19 km (12 mi) long and up to 8 km (5.0 mi) wide. The atoll forms a nearly complete rim of land around a lagoon, enclosing 90% of its perimeter, with an opening only in the north."

Tecumseh, the Indian: His Majestic Poetry (Essay)

imaginary drawing

This is a poem by Tecumseh at the end of the movie "Navy Seals".

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ ・・・・・・・・・・・・

live a life free from the fear of death

don't undermine people's beliefs

Respect other people's ideas and ask them to respect yours

love life and live it to the fullest

Make everything beautiful

Try to live long and devote yourself to the people you care about

and when the time comes

Don't be a prisoner of the fear of death

I need more time

Don't be the one who laments that you want to start over with a different life

hum a hymn

Die like a hero returns

I think it's a majestic poem that doesn't defile the dignity. In a short poem, one vision of life is concentrated. He also has a clear view of life and death. Who can write a poem like this...?

Below, from wikipedia

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Tecumseh or Tecumtha (Tekamthi, 1768? – October 5, 1813) was an American Indian warrior or chief of the Shawnee tribe, and a symbol of the colonial resistance movement against the whites.

The only way to stop this evil, the invasion of the white men, is for the Indians to band together and claim common and equal rights to the land. Land was never divided before. It belongs to all of us Indians.

No Indian tribe has the right to sell land, even among the same tribe. Moreover, they absolutely do not have the right to sell to white people who have come from outside.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The last few lines are from Tecumseh's speech.

Sociologist Max Weber, famous for ``Protestant ethics and the spirit of capitalism,'' read the Analects (Book on Confucius’s saying and deed) and said, ``This way of speaking resembles an Indian chief.'' … Well, from the European perspective, I think both are the same, with the underlying meaning that white people are free to control and persecute.

I am on the NMM website a lot, and while looking for something else I came across this portrait of Captain William Peel again.

I have The Sea Beast fresh in my mind with its theme of empire demanding/glorifying heroic sacrifice, and it hits a bit differently. I have seen this painting presented as the ne plus ultra of imperialism: the naval officer with his sword, illuminated in a tropical scene and leading troops to crush a rebellion of the colonised people; he is literally holding a pith helmet. At least the superior first edition of Amy Miller's Dressed to Kill has commentary on this portrait.

But it's a posthumous portrait.

Captain Peel wasn't basking in adulation when this was made, wasn't enjoying the acclaim of his Victoria Cross: he was dead. He has a magnificent statue as well, even more dashing than the portrait, and surely his powerful family had a lot to do with memorialising him—but he still died. He didn't make it home to the metropole.
