Amnesty International Condemns Cuba’s Suppression of Dissent

On December 26, Amnesty International denounced four Cuban tactics to suppress dissent. One tactic was short-term detention as a “tool of control and intimidation. [P]lacing a person under arrest for a few hours or days ‘sends a message of terror to those who dissent.’” Another tactic was cutting internet service as a way “to silence protests.” The third tactic was “the criminalization of…

"Accusé d'avoir incité des ouvriers à la grève," La Patrie. July 25, 1943. Page 43. --- Accusé d'avoir encouragé les ouvriers de la Canadian Vickers à faire la grève et de les avoir incités à la continuer. David Côté, un jeune homme d'environ 35 ans, a comparu, ce matin, devant le juge Edouard Tellier qui a fixé l'enquête de l'inculpé au 27 juillet prochain en le remettant en liberté moyennant un cautionnement de $950. ---- Côté fut appréhendé, hier soir par la gendarmerie royale lors d'une radio réunion des ouvriers de l'United Shipyards, à l'Assistance publique. L'arrestation fut pratiquée tellement discrètement que les amis de Côté ne s'aperçurent de sa disparition que lorsque vint le moment d'entendre le discours qu'il devait prononcer en public. Des agents de la R.C.M.P. se seraient approchés de lui, puis l'auraient invité à les suivre sans éveiller l'attention. Me Auguste Mathieu occupe pour la poursuite.

Voici maintenant les autres comparutions, de moindre importance. devant le juge Tellier, ce matin.

André Patrice, inculpé de faux prétexte, subira son enquête le 27.

M. Fitzpatrick, accusé d'avoir fait un faux chèque, s'est avoué coupable. Sentence le 29.

Albert Trudeau, inculpé de vente de liqueurs alcooliques, aura son procès le 6 août. Trudeau déclare qu'il n'a jamais vendu de boisson de sa vie mais que lors de son arrestation, il était avec des amis dans une taverne. Comme ils ne pouvaient plus obtenir de bière. Trudeau alla en chercher deux bouteilles chez-lui. L'un de ses compagnons, pour le dédommager, déposa alors sur la table une pièce de 30 sous, d'où l'arrestation pour vente de spiritueux.

André Pinel, sans domicile connu, s'est avoué coupable d'avoir volé un clavgraphe d'une valeur de $45. Sentence le 29. Pinel passera trois jours à la Sûreté.

Whether you agree with them or not, they certainly have a right to make their views known.

Remember, Zionism is NOT the same as Judaism, so opposing the actions of Netanyahu’s Israel in Gaza and the West Bank is not even remotely anti-Semitic.

[cattailtales]

Hey so pls remember that there's an electoral college in this god forsaken hell scape

That if you don't wanna vote for Trump or Biden on some moral grounds that's....I mean fine I suppose but it's literally only you who's going to know or be affected by it (I don't want to call it selfish, because I know it's not)

3rd party could absolutely win the popular vote but they're still gonna put one of the main candidates into office (Trump didn't even fucking win the popular vote the first time)

I mean here's hoping Trump's in super jail and Biden steps down due to age or some shit but like...not voting for one of them is only going to ease your conscience and literally nothing else

(this is said with no malice or hate, only horrified resignation to the state of the hell world we're living in)

if my options are vote for the guy who is committing genocide or vote for the guy who will also probably commit genocide then sorry to say I’m not voting for fucking either of them. plain and simple. like I’m gonna be completely honest I could care less about the future of this country if complicity in genocide is the cost. maybe this shithole needs to collapse in on itself in that case.

Canada’s Department of National Defence (DND) will host trial sessions for Israeli arms technology used to kill Palestinians and maintain apartheid and occupation during a three-week “sandbox” event in Alberta next month.

From May 27 to June 21, DND is giving a select group of military suppliers the chance to test products that are designed to counter aerial drones, with direct assistance from Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) staff and experts. Among those selected is a company called “Twenty20 Insight Inc.,” which is testing the “Smash Hopper counter-drone weapon station.”

The “Smash Hopper” is a remote control weapon system developed and manufactured by Israeli arms company “Smart Shooter,” whose technology is deployed by the Israeli military in fortifications that are used to suppress Palestinian dissent in the occupied West Bank, as well as in military hardware currently being used in Israel’s assault on Gaza.

As reported by AP News in November 2022, Smart Shooter developed remote control turrets deployed by Israel that fire tear gas, stun grenades and sponge-tipped bullets at Palestinian protesters in the occupied West Bank.

Omar Shakir, the Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch, told AP: “This system will only [...] further grave Israeli human rights abuse and further the Israeli army’s abuses and the Israeli government’s crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution against millions of Palestinians.” [...]

NUREMBERG 2.0 MAY BE COMING SOON!!!!

BREAKING: 17,000 DOCTORS DEMAND COVID VACCINE BAN AND NUREMBERG 2.0 TRIALS

Over 17,000 leading doctors and scientists are exposing the COVID vaccine as the deadliest drug in history. They are demanding an immediate ban and Nuremberg-style trials for those responsible for what they call a catastrophic public health cover-up.

These vaccines, once praised as a miracle, are now accused of causing millions of adverse effects, including myocarditis, neurological disorders, and deaths. The pharmaceutical giants behind them, driven by profits, stand accused of hiding the dangers while governments and media remained complicit.

The Vaccine Cover-Up The mRNA vaccines have been linked to severe health consequences. Myocarditis—heart inflammation—has struck young, healthy individuals, while neurological conditions like Guillain-Barré Syndrome and paralysis have devastated lives. Yet, these dangers were silenced by a complicit media more interested in protecting corporate sponsors than the public.

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports millions of adverse effects and thousands of deaths, but experts believe these numbers barely scratch the surface due to rampant underreporting.

Big Pharma’s Crimes Against Humanity? Doctors are drawing comparisons to the Thalidomide scandal, where a drug caused thousands of birth defects before being banned. They argue that the current vaccine crisis is even larger. This time, governments and pharmaceutical companies are accused of engaging in unethical experimentation and suppressing dissent—a direct violation of human rights.

Demanding Nuremberg 2.0 These experts are calling for:

An Immediate Halt to Vaccines: Citing undeniable harm, they demand all mRNA vaccines be banned. Independent Investigations: A full inquiry into vaccine injuries and deaths. Trials for Accountability: They insist on holding those responsible accountable in Nuremberg-style trials for crimes against humanity. A Global Movement for Truth This isn’t just a health issue—it’s a battle for justice, transparency, and the soul of medicine. The growing tide of whistleblowers and independent researchers is sparking a worldwide reckoning.

The question remains: Will we hold these powers accountable, or will history repeat itself? The call to action is clear—demand justice now.

NEW YORK (14 November 2024) – Israel’s warfare in Gaza is consistent with the characteristics of genocide, with mass civilian casualties and life-threatening conditions intentionally imposed on Palestinians there, the UN Special Committee to investigate Israeli practices* said in a new report released today.

“Since the beginning of the war, Israeli officials have publicly supported policies that strip Palestinians of the very necessities required to sustain life — food, water, and fuel,” the Committee said. “These statements along with the systematic and unlawful interference of humanitarian aid make clear Israel’s intent to instrumentalise life-saving supplies for political and military gains.”

Covering the period from October 2023 to July 2024, the report examines developments across the occupied Palestinian territory and the occupied Syrian Golan but focuses on the catastrophic impact of the current war in Gaza on the rights of Palestinians.

“Through its siege over Gaza, obstruction of humanitarian aid, alongside targeted attacks and killing of civilians and aid workers, despite repeated UN appeals, binding orders from the International Court of Justice and resolutions of the Security Council, Israel is intentionally causing death, starvation and serious injury, using starvation as a method of war and inflicting collective punishment on the Palestinian population,” the Committee said.

The report documents how Israel’s extensive bombing campaign in Gaza has decimated essential services and unleashed an environmental catastrophe that will have lasting health impacts. By early 2024, over 25,000 tons of explosives—equivalent to two nuclear bombs—had been dropped on Gaza, causing massive destruction and the collapse of water and sanitation systems, agricultural devastation, and toxic pollution.

“By destroying vital water, sanitation and food systems, and contaminating the environment, Israel has created a lethal mix of crises that will inflict severe harm on generations to come,” the Committee said.

The report raises serious concerns about Israel’s use of AI-enhanced targeting systems in directing its military operations, and the impact it has had on civilians, particularly evident in the overwhelming number of women and children among the casualties.

“The Israeli military’s use of AI-assisted targeting, with minimal human oversight, combined with heavy bombs, underscores Israel’s disregard of its obligation to distinguish between civilians and combatants and take adequate safeguards to prevent civilian deaths,” the Committee said.

Amid the devastation in Gaza, Israel’s escalating media censorship, suppression of dissent, and targeting of journalists are deliberate efforts to block global access to information, the Committee found. It also noted how social media companies disproportionately removed “pro-Palestinian content” in comparison with posts inciting violence against Palestinians.

The Committee condemned the ongoing smear campaign and other attacks against UNRWA and the UN at large.

“This deliberate silencing of reporting, combined with disinformation and attacks on humanitarian workers, is a clear strategy to undermine the vital work of the UN, sever the lifeline of aid still reaching Gaza, and dismantle the international legal order,” the Committee said.

The Committee called on all Member States to uphold their legal obligations to prevent and stop Israel’s violations of international law and hold it accountable.

“It is the collective responsibility of every State to stop supporting the assault on Gaza and the apartheid system in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem,” the Committee said.

“Upholding international law and ensuring accountability for violations rests squarely on Member States. A failure to do so weakens the very core of the international legal system and sets a dangerous precedent, allowing atrocities to go unchecked.”

The Committee’s report will be presented to the 79th Session of the UN General Assembly on 18 November 2024.

re-posting this because op was using it as a jumping off point for moronic blue-no-matter-who bullshit (as if the democrats wouldn't do the same thing-as if they aren't already doing the same thing to pro-palestine protesters) still a good article for looking at how the ruling class will manufacture evidence to suppress dissent.

NATAL Moon - Uranus aspect observations in the Natal Chart.

Blurring the line between Psychic Prowess, and utterly Divine Madness 🌚⚡

I've noticed that people who have harsh Uranus/moon aspects or moon conjunct Uranus esp if it's harshly aspected by a malefic tend to have a target on their back socially, ESPECIALLY in childhood. Like everything they do or say just pisses off the family or causes authority figures to lash out in some harsh or restrictive way- which never bodes well for anyone involved. Because moon - Uranus people will in fact drag their dissenters and the people abusing their authority against them to hell alongside them. These are people who psychologically torture authority, both intentionally and unintentionally depending on the scenario. They respond very negatively to having their freedom and self expression infringed upon especially if it's being done so unfairly.

I've also noticed that harsh moon-uranus aspects can look like a violent swing between constant over and understimulation. Finding a happy medium can be difficult, and when they aren't regulated the outbursts are volatile & intense.

If you have this aspect in your chart, feeling understood is very important. You have an almost magnetic need to stand out— and you generally WILL stand out whether you're trying to or not. You’re a natural-born truth-seeker.

Growing up, these natives question everything, and usually don't mind questioning or correcting others. Theres not usually a huge respect for authority either, and these natives have no problem challenging those who abuse their social power. They may even thrive on this dynamic, it's always very much "fuck the system".

While Uranus isn't a trauma marker, it does bring a lot of tension. Those with this aspect often feel like outsiders, like they don’t quite fit in; or they are intentionally singled out & ostracized. I've met a lot of people with moon - uranus who have been primarily targeted by teachers and authority as well. You also have the "popular loner" archetype which I tend to ascribe more commonly to Aquarius SUNS—everyone likes you, but you still feel like you’re living on a different planet.

People with strong Uranus energy often come from families that seem perfect on the outside, or at least very *different* from them. They can also come from families with shocking histories or have notable ancestors/ancestry. There can be sudden deaths, psychic and spiritual phenomena, (and sometimes autism LMAO don't come for me).

Sudden endings and deaths, sporadic change, and a difficult relationship with comfort. The moon is all about our creature comforts & the presence of Uranus can really strip this away from the native. It can feel like grasping at straws trying to soothe or comfort the onslaught of volatile emotion & psychic intensity.

A lot of unpredictable events and insane prophecies come with this placement. It's easy to feel detached from everyone including yourself & dissociative + personality disorders have the potential to brew here for sure.

At times you can feel like the antithesis to social normalcy, and as if your innate being causes nothing but chaos & trouble.

It's unsurprising that many with Moon-Uranus end up being generational cycle/curse breakers & tend to be highly detached from the family. There can be a desire to be freed from one's own ancestry, or to escape the family norm.

Living authentically is a non-negotiable for these folks. It’s just in their DNA. Trying to suppress it is literally like eating glass— being forced to perform or show up inauthentically can be legitimately painful & cause extreme emotional and physical dysregulation.

This is thought to be an aspect that leads to hysterical outbursts, but in my observation it's usually a stimulation issue. Which honestly, I think is one of the biggest lifelong difficulties of this aspect. What other people may see as hysteria or volatility may actually be psychic overload.

Regardless of whether or not other people see it, this is a highly gifted and PROPHETIC placement. They see into the future & have the ability to intuitively read other people's minds.

Think gifted in the sense of telepathy, telekinesis, and even manipulating electromagnetic energy.

Uranus has a "futuristic knowing” that really boosts the already psychic nature of the moon.

Uranus also brings duality, and these folks intrinsically understand this universal llaw. With the right support, these individuals can become powerful manifestors, using their deep understanding of reality to shape their world and to redefine the world for others. These natives are highly proficient in recognizing patterns and often disrupt things, even when they don’t mean to.

Learning to ride out the emotional roller coaster is a necessary skill to develop for those carrying this energy. The highs and lows can be draining, so grounding is essential. They tend to see things in black-and-white, which can lead to intense emotional outbursts or social withdrawal. There's also a tendency to spiral from information overload. The constant desire for intellectual stimulation can drive you crazy & also cause attention span issues., Difficulty focusing, difficulty managing and maintaining relationships, can have an anxious-avoidant attachment or be prone to attracting anxious-avoidant dynamics.

There can be a major lesson in accepting losses & being comfortable with discomfort. Nothing feels predictable or reliable for moon-uranus individuals, which can lead to a pessimistic outlook & feelings of dread.

But despite it all, these people walk to the beat of their own deum, & remain true to themselves, even when the world refuses to get it.

A Tribute To Helmets

I grew up during the Apollo space missions, and whilst I didn't show a particular interest in NASA's exploits, I received a kid's space suit and helmet as a present. I vividly recall how different things sounded when I put the helmet over my head. I think that was the point when my kinky fascination for helmets began.

From my childhood, I remember watching an episode of the early Flash Gordon series (in monochrome) where Ming places a helmet on the head of one of his dissenting subordinates. Once the helmet was strapped on, the man became compliant, passive and drone-like.

At that moment I realised that something designed for safety and protection could also have very nefarious uses. Combined with visual and audio stimulation, the helmet could also contain electronic circuitry that can disrupt the natural processes in the brain. Helmets could also contain syringes, which can deliver chemicals and other substances directly into the head to suppress and indivual's throughts.

So here is my AI tribute to the Helmet, and how, when placed on the head it can strip away emotion, knowledge, purpose and individuality.

This man in his early twenties was just starting out in life. He had dreams of being successful, having the perfect suburban life - wife, kids and the kind of home people dream of. He had just agreed to join a multinational conglomerate, and as part of his induction he was required to take a medical. So on the appropriate day at the specifed time he turns up for what he thought would be a routine appointment.

On arrival, he was taken into a private room. He was asked to disrobe and was given a set of leathers and boots to wear, which, despite all his reservations he put on.

Once the leathers were zipped up and boots were on his feet, he was escorted to a room where a lab assistant placed a full-face helmet onto his head. He was then taken into a room filled with tech and video screens. The technician typed some commands into a computer and the helmet activated.

Isolated wearing the helmet, he was subjected to audio and visual stimulation; stripping away his own throughts and identity. Replacing it with a predetermined 'template', which the company would deploy as necessary. Thoughts of family, kids and friends replaced with absolute loyalty to the company.

'Physical' completed, the company has deployed him 'into the field'. Now a biker, his primary objective is to ride around and recruit candidates to join the company.

Meanwhile...

Some scientists are about to record the disruptive effects of their advanced helmets on three 'volunteers'. Once the helmets are fitted the volunteers will follow instructions and head to drone processing.

Elsewhere, two cyclists have been given new 'aerodynamic' helmets for a week to try.

Affixed to their heads, they will have no desire to ever remove their helmets - ever.

Sticking with a sport theme, the new coach has provided the team with revolutionary and technologically advanced helmets. These not only offer superior protection to the head, but also allow the coach a direct interface into the players' minds. It's going to be a successful season for this team.

There are worried faced amongst this army platoon - and they should be worried.

They will follow the General's orders to place the helmet on their heads. When they do their individual thoughts will become suppressed as they turn into droned soldiers. No more briefings, no reliance on old technology like radio transmissions, which can be hacked into by the enemy. The helmet will ensure all orders issued by the commanders are transmitted directly into their brains.

There are changes afoot in civilian life too. A new force for law and order is being created. One by one members of the police force are invited to undergo a routine medical.

Soon they will all be fitted with helmets; permanently connecting them directly to the company network, with orders transmitted directly into their brains.

There is to be a zero tolerance of crime - even minor misdemeanors. So they begin to 'clean up the streets'.

Chavs and scallies are rounded up and each one is fitted with a helmet...

Once the work of the helmet is done, a new 'drone' is sent out onto the streets as a 'recruiter' for the company.

They're also recruiting in colleges and universities...

And back in the boardroom, the executives are monitoring progress of the company's plan.

Each member of the so-called 'C-suite' has been given a helmet to allow speedier decision making and negate the need for laptops, smartphones and video screens. Directly connected to the company's network through their helmet, they follow the instructions fed directly into their brains - following them to the letter. After all each helmet ensures they are exemplary servants of the company.

Hope you enjoyed my AI tribute to the helmet. Depending on the feedback I might do a second helmet blog.

Oh, in case you were wondering which is my favourite helmet, it's my Arai Corser, pictured below.
