Fusion center

mardi 15 septembre 2020 à 02:00

The US railroad industry has its own fusion center, with an information track leading straight to various government departments that can repress potential protesters. It can target even people that only criticize for investigation, and thugs might subsequently forget that they are only writing.

Reporter Justin Mikulka was painted as a criminal by association because what he wrote might inspire protests which could perhaps be illegal.

The "fusion centers" facilitate repression, so if we don't get rid of them, we must stop them from being used for repression.

Forbidden protest

mardi 15 septembre 2020 à 02:00

Thugs in Melbourne arrested peaceful protesters (though some of them threw fruit), saying that protest is forbidden.

The hell you say, Australia! A government which forbids protest is tyranny.

Not that repression is unusual in Australia, the country which paid Nauru to hold Australia's immigration prison and then to abolish freedom of the press so that journalists could not reach the prison.

As long as the protesters wore masks and maintained distance, they were entitled to protest.

Defending their right to protest does not mean I support their protest. Some of them reportedly are QAnon fantasists. That fantasy, which mutates as fast as HIV-1, is too incoherent to support a serious inquiry of whether "it" is true, because "it" would be different next week. I wish they were displaying their steadfastness for a good cause.

Witchcraft

Campaigning for a posthumous pardon for 2500 women executed for witchcraft in Scotland.

A court ordered the USPS not to send out "helpful" mass mailings to Colorado voters that contain misinformation about voting in Colorado.

Harassing workers
