Last sold in '02 for $84K, expected to go for $100K+, went for $260K+ instead! A pair of tickets (only three tickets exist!) auctioned to the play at Ford's Theatre, the night Lincoln was assassinated by a radicalized white supremacist terrorist.

“Downing guns shows armed police want ‘impunity’ to kill, critics claim”

by Glen Black in @thecanaryuk

“The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) charged an unnamed police officer on 20 September with the murder of Chris Kaba. However, following the murder charge, some 70 armed officers in the Metropolitan Police reportedly refused to carry firearms.”

[..]

“Outside of the force, many people viewed the cops’ actions as a sign of the impunity with which armed cops expect to operate.”

[..]

“Police in the UK like to claim a principle of ‘policing by consent’. However, it seems this doesn’t mean ‘by consent of the public’. Instead, it is the consent of an entrenched minority who will do what they can to avoid accountability. This is simply another example of why, as Canary writer Maryam Jameela wrote, the Met is beyond reform and we must do away with it altogether.”

So far, the police have only been able to get indirect camera footage, silhouettes of a tall man in a trench coat. After a break in the case, they've brought in three suspects, all with matching silhouette, whose schedules have placed them near the scenes of the crimes...

A Murder, a Diplomatic Dust-Up and the Risk of Impunity

Britain’s foreign secretary tweeted pablum that did not even mention India.

Without prejudging the results, Western countries should categorically stand with Canada in calling for a fair investigation of the murder and justice for those responsible. The current international silence is conspicuously loud.

Canadians deserve better from us, and so do Indians.

In this context, I heartily recommend that you listen to Chris Hedges’ [@chrislynnhedges] most recent podcast!

It’s only short (36 mins) but, boy!, it provides *such* a powerful insight into the ‘silent coup’ that global corporations have engineered to essentially overthrow democracy across the world since the post -WWII decolonisation period!

Hedges interviews Matt Kennard of @Declassified_UK about his new book “Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy”

Honest question:

Why are works of #fiction (books, comic, animation, film) depicting #rape or #pedophilia more offensive to more people and cause more calls to boycott or censorship than fiction depicting extreme #violence or #murder, when killing someone is universally regarded as worse than raping someone (morally worse) and criminal systems everywhere punish murderers more harshly than rapists (legally worse)?

"A Western Australian Traditional Custodian has been granted an urgent injunction to prevent Woodside Energy conducting seismic blasting."

This fight is important for two reasons:

Woodside we're quite prepared, like other corporations before them, to ignore and override the concerns of First Nations people in the pursuit of money. They just don't see traditional owners as relevant in any way, and

The process is so damaging to large marine mammal that it might as well be murder. Then there are the other forms of marine life in the area being bombarded with sound. Sound travels 4 times faster in water than in air and the energy imparted when it impacts is correspondingly higher.

Excerpt: In a recent interview, DeSantis discussed how he would distinguish between migrants who are smuggling drugs and those who aren’t.

“Same way a police officer would know,” he said. “Same way somebody operating in Iraq would know. You know, these people in Iraq at the time, they all looked the same. You didn’t know who had a bomb strapped to them. So those guys have to make judgments.”

Australia had #Nauru with it's somewhat challenged population able to be guided into violence against our refugees. We had #Manus Island with its locals and police able to bring violence and death to #refugees. We had a #government insisting on referring to illegals.

Britain has #Rwanda as a direct result of what our tories did to refugees.

The British have a history of #invasion, theft, #murder and genocide or at least attempts at #genocide.
