543 severely burned children had hundreds of operations. They climbed mountains medically & in their minds. Their mother Bronwen Jones needs a successor after 31 years at the helm. Help us to find that person. Part of the story is here youtu.be/kWCbJ07m1wE
#DataCenter #DataCentre #noise #Pollution 24/7 365 days a year,played in court @ScotNational @TheGreenParty
Kentucky residents played a loud recording of the noise pollution from data centers to show its disruptive impact.
Within seconds, county officials grew irritated and told them to “act like adults” and turn it off.
The corrupt politicians who vote for and push these data centers onto our communities couldn’t handle the piercing sound for a few seconds, yet expect residents to live with it every day.
Welcome to the USA, where politicians prioritize the bottom line of the corporations and billionaires that fund their campaigns over the needs of our people and communities.

Meanwhile, THE is nominated for an investigation with — prompted by three academics with a political animus against Arday’s field of study — still claims ‘plagiarism’
Look at the lengths LJMU went to check that claim, and dismiss it. None of this is reported

In Hebron, outside the Israeli settlers’ area, Israeli settlers have occupied the rooftops of Palestinian shops and installed settler caravans.

"A British state complicit in the genocide of Palestinians has no interest in a generation of politically engaged children who will one day hold it to account."

NEW: On Friday, dockworkers at 111 ports in 22 countries and regions on five continents will stop work in a coordinated strike against war, according to the most recent information from the organizing unions.
More than 25 dockworkers’ unions have now signed on, from Marseille to Mumbai, Hamburg to Montevideo, Melbourne to Oakland. Days ago the count stood at about 100 ports in 17 countries, and that figure doesn’t include the dozens of unions in other sectors that have pledged support. Their demand is simple: no weapons and no military cargo through their ports. Nearly everything the world ships passes through the docks, and without the workers who load and unload it, nothing moves.
In France, the main dockers’ union says the country’s ports will be 95% shut. Italy, India, Greece and Turkey face 24-hour strikes, and Morocco and Cyprus will see stoppages of up to two hours, with rallies planned in port cities around the world. In Greece, metalworkers, ship-repair workers and young people are joining the dockers, and in the US, ILWU Local 10 is striking in Oakland and San Francisco. The unions are working from the Istanbul Declaration, signed in May, with each one deciding for itself how to take part. They are also fighting for their own jobs, against cuts from automation and for contracts, raises, shorter hours and safety.
The unions point to escalating wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and the danger of a generalized war. They condemn Israel’s new crimes in Hebron, carried out with the backing of the US, NATO and the EU. Israel’s lockdown of the city is now in its sixth day, with more than 3,000 Palestinians displaced, according to the UN. Palestinian unions have endorsed Friday’s action.
In Italy, the fight has spilled beyond the docks. The union USB has called for a nationwide general strike. Last night, the Italian government ordered transport workers back on the job last night. USB said it would defy the order and accept the steep penalties.
The unions are calling on workers and young people everywhere to stand with the dockworkers, saying “Ports for peace and the peoples, not launching pads for war.”
I’m reporting from Calabria, Italy, and I will be in Genoa tomorrow ahead of the strike to report on the ground during the mobilzation.

"We place Johannesburg as a severely compromised city with its institutions penetrated by organised crime." – @Mark_Shaw_, @GI_TOC executive director.
CDE's latest report outlines how corruption deprives the city of resources and enables people to profit from dysfunction, while political, business and criminal interests intersect around local government.
"CDE believe that Johannesburg can break the cycle," says @annbernsteinSA.

Videos circulating on social media show Israeli settlers assaulting three foreign journalists, Andrey X, Adele Shoko and Jasper Nathaniel, near Hebron.
Andrey reportedly lost consciousness, was taken to a police station and remained detained without receiving medical care.
Six months after we sought help from our closest #Anglican church in #Johannesburg, and it declined something that was readily in its power, *now* they want a meeting?! @AnglicanNews We know it is important to forgive, but the bruised heart is still bruised

Solidarity is not a crime. Neither is being Palestinian. I will not be intimidated into silence.

The #ClimateEmergency is also a #PublicHealth emergency.
There will be many more large-scale urban fires, and we're just starting to consider the impacts

Hi @bbclysedoucet and @AnshelPfeffer it is profoundly disappointing and a betrayal of proper journalistic values that neither of you ever explain to your audiences that Israel is an APARTHEID state
If you have done so and I have missed it, I will be very pleased to apologise to you
On air with @AnshelPfeffer for @BBCNews - the Israeli Knesset behind us as Israelis vote in record numbers in an election seen as a referendum on PM Netanyahu’s rule #Israel

“Those in the West who want to see change in Palestine need to confront the question of how international pressure might alter the political calculations of Israeli voters and leaders. Sanctions, diplomatic isolation, divestment, sports boycotts and travel restrictions are among the measures that could make the continuation of occupation and denial of Palestinian rights carry a tangible cost.”

You know why free zones are not discussed in the MSM, and so-called alternative media?
It's all down to secondary legislation.
The duopoly's nationwide free zones rollout was not debated in Parliament.
The public were not consulted.
The press were not notified.
The UK is being carved up into corporate-governed regions, and what's more, the public is paying for it with hundreds of millions of pounds in State aid.
That's public money being used for corporate profit with a distribution ratio of 9/10 in favour of the private sector.
PFI, PPP is a Ponzi scheme for the asset classes.
BTW this is all highly illegal within the EU, the EU Commission clearly states that state aid must not be used for profit motive in free zones.
This is why Brexit was forced through.
But our government calls this, "economic growth".
To date, the EU has 62 free zones, they are being wound down due to widespread corporate corruption.
Today, the UK now has 91 free zones.
A new asset class is being identified as ‘Nature’s Economy’, where a country’s rivers, lakes, forests are targeted by a sovereign wealth fund controlled by a Saudi Prince, or Blackrock for example.
Locals will have no say on Natural Asset Companies (NACs) monetising green spaces as not yet existing in the economy or indeed in a corporation's financial portfolio.
NACs would earn money by ‘improving’ ecosystems and putting a dollar figure on benefits like clean air or wildlife habitat.
25 state attorneys general opposed NACs, and the NYSE withdrew it in January 2024
But….
What @_whitneywebb Webb and Others Are Warning About.
There are Alternative Implementation Routes:
The World Economic Forum continues promoting “debt-for-nature swaps” that allow countries to restructure debt in exchange for conservation commitments, effectively transferring control of natural resources PERC. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink is pushing “tokenisation” to turn natural assets into tradeable blockchain-based financial products as part of a global carbon market.
Larry Fink (CEO Blackrock) is now chairman of the WEF, he replaced Klaus Schwab.
The United States Geological Survey identifies “Dartmoor in the east to Isles of Scilly in the west” …as one of the top five lithium-enriched granite areas worldwide. Dartmoor is now a part of The Plymouth and South Devon Freeport.
The Dartmoor National Park wasn’t even aware of the fact it was incorporated in the freeport/SEZ zone which is 75km in diameter.
What is happening in Dartmoor is being repeated across England, Scotland, and Wales.
Zone Fever is eclipsing the UK.
The natural asset financialization agenda is global and is being implemented in practice via massive deregulation via free zones, and Brexit Britain is faking Net Zero targets via greenwashing to privatise all critical infrastructure under a corporate political model, which the majority of citizens are excluded from and have zero say in the decision-making process
This is happening. This is a corporate coup.
Webb exposes how the financial elite are transforming environmental crises into profit engines. At COP26, global bankers and asset managers—led by figures like Mike Bloomberg and Mark Carney—unveiled plans not to solve ecological collapse, but to commodify it.

Yes, the letter is real. Einstein wrote it on April 10, 1948, to Shepard Rifkin of the American Friends of the Fighters for the Freedom of Israel (linked to the Stern Gang/Lehi), refusing support after the Deir Yassin events. It is documented in the Einstein Archives (92-587), has been auctioned at Sotheby's, and matches the original text exactly. The surrounding framing in the image (1952 date, "Occupied Palestine" header) is later editorial addition.

Lana Nusseibeh, a senior United Arab Emirates diplomat, spent recent years whitewashing her government's complicity in the genocide in Sudan. Now she wants to be UN secretary general, a position requiring a person of the highest moral standing. Not her. #NoToLana #SanctionUAE
