#Municipal Services

[the-garbanzo-annex-jr]

Today, the Palestinian Supreme Fatwa Council reiterated that it is forbidden to vote in Jerusalem municipal elections or to run as candidates,  claiming this is "a clear and explicit violation of Sharia and the national consensus"  - because "the municipality is the first arm of the occupation authorities in implementing settlement and Judaization projects in city, restricting the means of living and housing for citizens."

See the logic? If Arabs vote, that shows Israel is a democracy; if Arabs have influence in the municipal government, then their services would improve, and then the anti-Israel crowd would lose one of its rhetorical points about how Israel is an apartheid state. 

The Jerusalem Post, which no one can accuse of being anti-Zionist,  wrote an editorial  supporting Arab participation in Jerusalem elections, admitting that services for the Arab sector are worse than for the Jewish sections of the city and saying that the best way to improve the Arab standard of living in Jerusalem is by having the Arabs become part of the democratic process.

It is clear that the people who want apartheid against Jerusalem Arabs are Palestinian Arab leaders, and the ones who want Arabs to have equal rights are the Jews - along with a minority of Jerusalem Arabs whose lives are directly affected by boycott calls coming from Ramallah.

Of course, we do not see any calls from Amnesty or Human Rights Watch urging Jerusalem Arabs to vote and help improve their own lives. Those groups also profit from the "apartheid" slur and they, like the Palestinian Authority, want to ensure that their "evidence" for such slander remains intact. 

They want to hurt Arab human rights in the name of human rights.

Mayor Nakano’s newest project sparks legal battle - GCCPS

Earlier this evening this journal was made aware of a new issue arising within our beloved city’s government. The culprit? Mayor Christopher Nakano’s (see related articles) newest passion project, the newest government devision; Gotham City Child Protective Services.

Gotham City Child Protective Services, or GCCPS (see related articles), was put in place after the disbandment of its predecessor, Gotham City Protection Services (see related articles), after the city’s municipal government, under Mayor Nakano, found it to be in violation of multiple laws (see related articles).

This includes, but is not limited to, several charges of fraud, potentially human trafficking, alleged child exploitation, alleged human experimentation, and child abuse and abduction. And while this journal applauds Mayor Nakano for removing this plague on the family’s of this city, we are beginning to question how well he thought this decision through.

Since the activation of GCCPS nearly a month ago, they have removed several children from homes without, what seems to be, legal grounds to do so. At the very least without any proper information prior to the child’s removal.

One family to have a child removed, The Gordon’s (see related articles), are attempting to fight this decision in court alongside several other children who were recently removed from their homes. We sent our intern to interview Ms. Barbara ‘Babs’ Gordon (see related articles) ( @babsggordon ), elder sister of the child removed, Julian Gordon ( @the-other-son-of-james-gordon ). Here is what she had to say -

“ Q: Please clarify the situation you and your family are in in regard to GCCPS ”

“ A: My family has been deeply afecteds by the recent mannage of the organization. The organization has taken a biological family member out of their home to be put in the struggles and inestability of the system. ”

“ Q: Do you believe them to be a valid organization? ”

“ A: No, there's no public means to contact the organization and on behalf the lack of the proper public information should have available for the general public. ”

“ Q: Do you believe your father to be guilty of those crimes? Do you believe them to be crimes at all? ”

“ A: According to the U.S Child protection law, these reasons are invalid. For three principal reasons:

I. The are missing the fellow paperwork, neither I or my father, Mr. Gordon has received the proper notice approved by the legal means

II. The subject and declaration to take a kid from their home, (in this case Julian J. Gordon) by negligence in the excuse for a severe addiction requires a police statement and in the case of legal subjects as tabaco or coffee, a medical diagnosis of addiction. Mr. Gordon don't present either of them. The medical archives of Mr. Gordon ARE public information due to his job as Police Comissioner.

III. The prohibition of communication with his family is an attempt against Julian and his family rights, considering they are his biological family no organization are authorized to restrain the communication with the immediate family as parents or siblings. ”

“ Q: What would be your words to Mayor Nakano in regard to this situation? ”

“ A: Mayor Nakano, with all the due respect I demand the respective clarifications of the recent movements in all the respective public organizations. Most of them are missing and it's a major problem it should be resolved as soon as possible. ”

“ Q: How would you fix the current adoption system within Gotham? ”

“ A: It's a big question to resolve just in a few words, but I would suggest that the organization openly collaborates with the Thomas and Martha way foundation. Raise the funds in public orphanages. And keep the investigation about the protectors of the children to the protectors and not stress the children by intrusively take them out of their homes. ”

When later asked if she and her family would further this lawsuit if Mr. Gordon was returned, she responded with -

“ Absolutely. ”

While we were unable to contact Mayor Nakano on this situation, there has been a recent update as there is now a way to contact GCCPS as well as many other factions on the Gotham City Municipal Government via their newly created social media account ( @gotham-city-municipal-government ).

We are unsure if Ms. Gordon and her lawyers were made aware of this, or if it was even available when she was initially inquiring after the wellbeing of her brother.

Another group of affected, 5 children between the ages of 8 and 14 who have been living together under the care of their respective guardians, are also pursuing legal action, more on this story later (see related articles).

Though Mayor Nakano was not available for comment, we reached out to the Gotham City Municipal Government and GCCPS for statements on the matter. Solely the GCMG responded, here is what they had to say -

“ Due to the nature of our founding and the, admittedly rocky, transition of data from or predecessor GCPS, as well as the sheer number of reports against Commissioner Gordon, we are legally obligated to intervene.

Due to the nature of the reports (addiction, abuse, neglect, etc.) we found it prudent to remove Mr. Gordon from his home as a means of ensuring he not be in harms way.

While we do have some access to Commissioner Gordon’s medical logs, we were are unsure of their validity and are having our own personnel review his files, both with the New Jersey Medical System (see related articles) and with the GCPD (see related articles).

We do admit to there being a lack of clarity on this case on our part, and will happily discuss further details with the families affected. ”

Though inconclusive, this case is ongoing and will be closely monitored by this journal.

Repost from @amaalysse:

|| Engineer and PhD researcher Asem Al-Nabeh, who also serves as the spokesperson for Gaza Municipality, states that rebuilding Gaza will not take as long as some reports suggest. Recent reports indicated that removing the rubble from Gaza City alone could take up to 15 years, not accounting for the subsequent rebuilding phase. However, Al-Nabeh argues that these estimates do not consider several critical factors, such as the number of workers, daily work hours, and the availability of heavy machinery.

Al-Nabeh emphasizes that with adequate resources and equipment, the process of rubble removal could be completed in less than a year. He points out that previous experiences have shown that the cost of rubble removal can be significantly reduced or even generate income. Many private companies are willing to clear rubble in exchange for acquiring it, making the process much more economical. He remains optimistic that with the necessary support, Gaza’s reconstruction can proceed swiftly and effectively.

المهندس والباحث الدكتور عاصم النابه، والمتحدث باسم بلدية غزة، يوضح أن إعادة بناء غزة لن تستغرق وقتًا طويلاً كما تشير بعض التقارير. أشارت تقارير حديثة إلى أن إزالة الأنقاض من مدينة غزة وحدها قد يستغرق ما يصل إلى 15 عامًا، دون احتساب مرحلة إعادة البناء التالية. ومع ذلك، يؤكد النبه أن هذه التقديرات لا تأخذ في الاعتبا�� عدة عوامل حاسمة، مثل عدد العمال، ساعات العمل اليومية، وتوافر الآليات الثقيلة.

يؤكد النبه أنه مع الموارد والمعدات الكافية، يمكن إتمام عملية إزالة الأنقاض في أقل من عام. يشير إلى أن التجارب السابقة أظهرت أن تكلفة إزالة الأنقاض يمكن تخفيضها بشكل كبير أو حتى تحقيق دخل منها. العديد من الشركات الخاصة على استعداد لإزالة الأنقاض مقابل الحصول عليها، مما يجعل العملية أكثر اقتصادية. يبقى النبه متفائلا بأنه مع الدعم اللازم، يمكن أن تسير عملية إعادة إعمار غزة بسرعة وفعالية. ||

Mun time

Hiya! The mun of this account also runs several other DC-related blogs and doesn’t follow any specific timeline, simply that Christopher Nakano is the Mayor.

Any other info on timelines or storyline ideas should be submitted via the ask box.

This is supposed to come across as kinda like the old duolingo socials; ie. a random teenager is running all pf these but they’re still legally part of the municipal government (or company in duos case).

I have not thought any of this through so, yeah. If any links are not working that’s because I still haven’t written the bio for the division it’s part of. The intern running this is @the-one-and-only-ruination so if ya’ll see it mentioned there a bit that’s why.

"The Haitian Bridge Alliance made the move after inaction by the local prosecutor, said their attorney, Subodh Chandra of the Cleveland-based Chandra Law Firm."

"Trump and Vance, a U.S. senator from Ohio, are charged with disrupting public services, making false alarms, telecommunications harassment, aggravated menacing and complicity. The filing asks the Clark County Municipal Court to affirm that there is probable cause and issue arrest warrants against Trump and Vance."
