ARTOBER DAY 21

COURIER

In my original science fiction Space Opera setting-

-there are many mercs who make their living off of conflict and struggle. Unique among them are the "Couriers": blindingly fast pilots & racers paid to ensure the delivery of messages, supplies, or people. Equipped with various types of high end racing gear, including hardsuits, aerospace craft, constructs (read as: mecha), these adrenaline junkies leap, bound, weave across battlefields, cities, and blockades, relying on speed, intuition and reflexes to deliver their precious cargo.

NGL, I was equally inspired by THE ETERNALS speedster character "Makkari", Mirror's Edge, as well as classic parkour!

#OTD in 1316 – Battle of Athenry | Irish rising in support of Edward the Bruce of Scotland.

Many of the men of Erin all, around the great plain— Many sons of kings, whom I name not, were slain in the great defeat: Sorrowful to my heart is the conflict of the host of Midhe and Mumha. On the day of St Laurence the martyr these deeds were committed; and Fedlim was twenty-three years old when slain; and he had been five years in the sovereignty of Connacht when Ruaidhri, son of Cathal…

Congress to launch nationwide stir

The Opposition Congress on Tuesday announced that they will launch a nationwide agitation on August 22 over US short-seller Hindenburg's latest report claiming a nexus between the SEBI chairperson and the Adani Group. The Congress is demanding the removal of SEBI chairperson Madhabi Buch following the accusations made by Hindenburg.

"The story of  'John Doe 1' of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is tucked in a lawsuit filed five years ago against several U.S. tech companies, including Tesla, the world’s largest electric vehicle producer. In a country where the earth hides its treasures beneath its surface, those who chip away at its bounty pay an unfair price. As a pre-teen, his family could no longer afford to pay his $6 monthly school fee, leaving him with one option: a life working underground in a tunnel, digging for cobalt rocks.  But soon after he began working for roughly two U.S. dollars per day, the child was buried alive under the rubble of a collapsed mine tunnel. His body was never recovered. 

The nation, fractured by war, disease, and famine, has seen more than 6 million people die since the mid-1990s, making the conflict the deadliest since World War II. But, in recent years, the death and destruction have been aided by the growing number of electric vehicles humming down American streets. In 2022, the U.S., the world’s third-largest importer of cobalt, spent nearly $525 million on the mineral, much of which came from the Congo.

As America’s dependence on the Congo has grown, Black-led labor and environmental organizers here in the U.S. have worked to build a transnational solidarity movement. Activists also say that the inequities faced in the Congo relate to those that Black Americans experience. And thanks in part to social media, the desire to better understand what’s happening in the Congo has grown in the past 10 years. In some ways, the Black Lives Matter movement first took root in the Congo after the uprising in Ferguson in 2014, advocates say. And since the murder of George Floyd and the outrage over the Gaza war, there has been an uptick in Congolese and Black American groups working on solidarity campaigns.

Throughout it all, the inequities faced by Congolese people and Black Americans show how the supply chain highlights similar patterns of exploitation and disenfranchisement. ... While the American South has picked up about two-thirds of the electric vehicle production jobs, Black workers there are more likely to work in non-unionized warehouses, receiving less pay and protections. The White House has also failed to share data that definitively proves whether Black workers are receiving these jobs, rather than them just being placed near Black communities. 'Automakers are moving their EV manufacturing and operations to the South in hopes of exploiting low labor costs and making higher profits,' explained Yterenickia Bell, an at-large council member in Clarkston, Georgia, last year. While Georgia has been targeted for investment by the Biden administration, workers are 'refusing to stand idly by and let them repeat a cycle that harms Black communities and working families.'

... Of the 255,000 Congolese mining for cobalt, 40,000 are children. They are not only exposed to physical threats but environmental ones. Cobalt mining pollutes critical water sources, plus the air and land. It is linked to respiratory illnesses, food insecurity, and violence. Still, in March, a U.S. court ruled on the case, finding that American companies could not be held liable for child labor in the Congo, even as they helped intensify the prevalence. ... Recently, the push for mining in the Congo has reached new heights because of a rift in China-U.S. relations regarding EV production. Earlier this month, the Biden administration issued a 100% tariff on Chinese-produced EVs to deter their purchase in the U.S. Currently, China owns about 80% of the legal mines in the Congo, but tens of thousands of Congolese work in 'artisanal' mines outside these facilities, where there are no rules or regulations, and where the U.S. gets much of its cobalt imports.  'Cobalt mining is the slave farm perfected,' wrote Siddharth Kara last year in the award-winning investigative book Cobalt Red: How The Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives. 'It is a system of absolute exploitation for absolute profit.' While it is the world’s richest country in terms of wealth from natural resources, Congo is among the poorest in terms of life outcomes. Of the 201 countries recognized by the World Bank Group, it has the 191st lowest life expectancy."

The occupation is committing acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing in North Gaza as part of a systematic American-zionist plan.

For nine consecutive days, the zionist war machine has been carrying out genocidal massacres and ethnic cleansing against our people in North Gaza, particularly in Jabalia Camp. This has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of martyrs, extensive destruction of infrastructure, the blocking of relief supplies, and a starvation war, while preventing fuel from reaching hospitals—threatening the lives of thousands of patients and wounded, as part of a deliberate effort to completely empty northern areas.

North Gaza is facing an extermination war, in which the United States is directly involved through a clear and exposed plan aimed at displacing our people from the northern part of the Strip.

The large-scale zionist campaign on North Gaza, particularly the siege of Jabalia from all directions, confirms that the so-called “Generals’ Plan” is now being actively implemented.

The international community’s silence in the face of the horrors of killing, destruction, starvation, and thirst in North Gaza is direct complicity in these atrocities. This requires a massive global uprising to break this silence and hold accountable all those who support the occupiers, whether through direct backing or justifying their crimes.

The free peoples of the world must bear their moral responsibility and press for an end to these atrocities; this battle is the battle of every person who upholds values of justice and dignity. Abandoning the Palestinian people is tantamount to active participation in these crimes.

The continued zionist holocaust against our people in North Gaza, and the attempt to destroy the health system and infrastructure, will only be met with greater steadfastness and resistance. All occupation and American plans are destined to fail.

Nobleman on Zuko's Council: Firelord, someone blew up one of our factories!

Zuko, knowing full well it was Katara: Who could have done this?

Second Nobleman: Firelord, several of our war machines were crushed mysteriously by falling rocks overnight.

Zuko, deadpan, knowing it was Toph: Whatever shall we do?

Third Nobleman: And there was an uprising at one of the schools. Apparently one of the students, a young colonial wearing his school uniform belt as a headband, started a "rewrite the history books" campaign.

Zuko: Young people these days.

Fourth Nobleman: Also someone in a spirit mask is robbing the rich at swordpoint while reciting lines from theater.

Zuko: That one was me.
