A reminder that as the US continues to threaten countries around the world, fedposting is to be very much avoided (even with qualifiers like "in Minecraft") and comments containing it will be removed.

Image is of a protest in San Diego against ICE.

On January 7th, 37-year-old Renee Good was murdered by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. While a considerable amount of the discussion online has been about the direction her wheels were turning and things like that, truthfully, I think it's just fundamentally bad to shoot a person to death with a gun if you happen to be a state mercenary enforcing an incredibly racist federal policy, regardless of the circumstances.

The murder has since prompted a wave of vigils and protests, not only in Minneapolis, but also in virtually every major city in the country. The demands are justice for Good in particular, and the abolition of ICE in general, to avenge its many victims. The Trump administration has done all they can to inflame the situation, designating Good a "domestic terrorist" and saying that the agent who shot her will be immune from prosecution.

Protests and resistance to this administration's policies have, encouragingly, had an element of international solidarity - not only are flags from countries throughout Latin America (and also Palestine) present, but speakers in protests have even been actively condemning the recent imperialist actions against Venezuela. For it is, of course, one joint struggle. The imperial boomerang always returns - and in the modern day, it returns rapidly.

Palestine Action hunger strikers end their hunger strike after the UK canceled a £2 billion elbit contract

article textThree Palestine Action-affiliated prisoners have announced the end of their hunger strike after the government decided not to award a £2bn contract to the Israeli arms company subsidiary Elbit Systems UK – with another four who had paused their protest choosing not to continue.

Fears had been growing for the welfare of those taking part. On Wednesday, Heba Muraisi, 31, would have been on day 73 of refusing food, the same number of days as reached by the Irish republican hunger striker Kieran Doherty, who survived the longest of 10 men who died in a 1981 action. The earliest death among the Irish republicans was after 46 days, raising fears about the risk to life of the prisoners in jail awaiting trial for offences relating to protests claimed by Palestine Action.

Among their demands had been to shut down Elbit Systems, a slogan used by Palestine Action in its campaign against the company’s UK sites.

Late on Wednesday, Prisoners for Palestine said the decision not to grant Elbit Systems UK the contract, under which it would have trained 60,000 British troops a year, fulfilled a key demand. It said the company had won more than 10 public contracts since 2012, and so the decision by the Ministry of Defence marked a shift in thinking among officials.

Prisoners for Palestine also pointed to a meeting that took place on Friday between national leaders of prison healthcare and representatives of the hunger striking prisoners, at the behest of the Ministry of Justice, which it said involved discussion of prison conditions and treatment recommendations.

Kamran Ahmed, 28, who would have been on day 66 on Wednesday, and Lewie Chiaramello, 22, who has type 1 diabetes and has been fasting every other day and would have been on day 46, have also stopped refusing food.

Teuta Hoxha, Jon Cink, Qesser Zuhrah, and Amu Gib, who had paused their strikes, are also ending their action.

Prisoners for Palestine said they have now all begun refeeding in accordance with health guidelines, which is itself a dangerous process that risks death if not done properly.

The Guardian understands that Umar Khalid, 22, who resumed his hunger strike on Saturday after previously pausing it, is continuing to refuse food.

Prisoners for Palestine said there had been a number of victories: “In the past few weeks alone, 500 people have signed up to take direct action against the genocidal military-industrial complex, more than the amount of people who took action with Palestine Action over its five-year campaign. During that five-year campaign, four Israeli weapons factories were shut down. Elbit Systems is living on stolen time – we will see it shut down for good, not because of the government, but because of the people.”

It also said that Muraisi’s transfer back to HMP Bronzefield in Surrey had been accepted by HMP New Hall in Wakefield, to which she was moved last year, hundreds of miles from her family and friends. Her transfer had been another demand of the hunger strikers.

Prisoners for Palestine said Hoxha had been offered a meeting with the head of the joint extremism unit at her prison, which it said “orchestrates the prisoners’ treatment as ‘terrorists’”.

Another demand had been an end to the censorship of prisoners’ communications. The group said: “During the hunger strike, some of the prisoners started receiving bulk packages of withheld mail, and in one case received an apology from prison staff for a letter that was delayed by six months. Books on the topics of Gaza and feminism have also been given after months of waiting.

“Our prisoners’ hunger strike will be remembered as a landmark moment of pure defiance, an embarrassment for the British state. It exposed to the world Britain has political prisoners in service of a foreign genocidal regime, and has seen hundreds of people commit to take direct action in the prisoners’ footsteps.”

Gib said: “We have never trusted the government with our lives, and we will not start now. We will be the ones to decide how we give our lives to justice and liberation.”

[-] aanes_appreciator@hexbear.net 47 points 4 days ago

I think it should be remembered with genuine shock that the prisoners have had so many demands met. This is on top of resumption of direct action against elbit and its partners, despite the British govt claiming victory over Palestinian resistance.

[-] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 29 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Three detained British activists who spent weeks refusing food have ended their hunger strike, citing a report that a United Kingdom-based subsidiary of a major Israeli weapons company was denied a UK government contract.

[...]

The Times reported on Tuesday that Elbit Systems UK, a subsidiary of the Israeli arms manufacturer of the same name, had failed to win a $2.69bn contract to help train British soldiers.

Citing an unnamed UK Ministry of Defence “insider”, the news outlet said the department instead chose to award the contract to a rival consortium led by Raytheon UK.

nakedcapitalism with a good article by friend of the pod, Michael Hudson on the US weaponization of the global oil trade. His summary points:

The Key Demands of the U.S. Rules-Based Order Relating to Oil Are:

  1. Control of the world’s oil trade is to remain a U.S. privilege
  1. The Oil Trade must be priced and paid for in U.S. dollars
  1. The Petrodollar Rule
  1. “Green” energy alternatives to oil are to be discouraged, and the phenomenon of global warming and extreme weather denied.
  1. No laws apply to or limit U.S. rules or policies

A valuable part of Hudson's analysis is that he describes how the US actually benefits from controlling the oil trade and from imperial interference in oil producing nations. The benefit isn't "we plundered the oil and now the US has cheap/free oil to work with," it's a much subtler and indirect form of benefit.

Iranian airspace is back open, the first few flights into and over Iran from foreign airlines are trickling in.

Looks like tonight was a big, co-ordinated psyche out/information and probing operation by the United States, with aircraft over Iraq, evacuating military bases of non essential equipment and personnel (which was also apparently paused at some point), contradictory statements from Trump himself, US government officials and "insider sources", reports of the US beginning to move the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier to the Middle East, etc. It's clear that the US knows exactly what the public can see online, and has a good indication of what other nations can see. With Iran having very few pre attack indicators, they closed their airspace out of an abundance of caution once those few indicators (evacuation of US bases and aircraft over Iraq) showed up. Strategic ambiguity at all times is the Trump strategy.

The question now is, what happens next? Does Iran continue to close it's airspace at the first sign of an impending US attack? Is Iran closing it's airspace potentially also probing by Iran, to see how the US would react (Iran could do this just before launching ballistic missiles). Will the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group actually arrive in the next week or two? If so, does the US strike before it arrives, as it arrives, or do they even strike at all?

Iranian airspace is effectively closed to civilian aircraft, almost every foreign airliner is diverting flights that would have flown over Iran. You can see it on flightradar24 for yourself.

If you want to track publicly viewable US Air Force mid air refueling tanker activity for yourself instead of relying on social media grifters (remember only publicly viewable, there's always a lot the public cannot see), go to globe.adsbexchange.com, open the "filters" tab (blue arrow in the top right corner) filter by type code K35R|B762 and by DB flags Military. Then you can see all publicly viewable KC-135 Stratotanker and KC-46 Pegasus tankers currently flying.

So I’ve been seeing reports from Western media that “thousands” of Iranians have been killed in the recent protests. What I don’t understand is how any Western outlet could possibly know this when there is still a total internet blackout in Iran which prevents almost no info coming out. Can anyone here verify the accuracy of these claims? Is it just CIA/ Mossad assets spreading misinformation to manufacture consent for a potential US/ Israel attack?

The silver market has been going crazy. China even suspended some exports recently. The funniest thing is when there is a big discrepancy in the price of actual physical silver versus the paper price of silver on the futures market, where you are literally trading paper and the market makers just promise that they actually do hold the silver you are currently trading.

It would be kind of funny to see a bunch of these markets admitting that they don't have any of the silver that people are supposedly trading on and that everyone who isn't holding actual physical silver is just holding a worthless piece of paper.

"When we are united, no one can defeat us!”: Bolivian workers defeat gasolinazo and win new rights

spoilerAfter several weeks of mass marches and road blockades, Bolivian workers succeeded in forcing the recently inaugurated neoliberal government of Rodrigo Paz to repeal the controversial Decree 5503, popularly known as the “gasolinazo,” which eliminated hydrocarbon subsidies in Bolivia. The measure promptly raised the prices of several products by as much as 162%.

But, after observing how the protests grew with each passing day and seeking to avoid an uncontrollable scenario for his political project, Paz had to give in to popular demand and eliminate the so-called “Gasolinazo.”

But the victory of the Bolivian people goes beyond the reversal of the neoliberal measure, which had been demanded by the International Monetary Fund for decades. After instituting the gasolinazo, Paz had raised the minimum wage to 3,300 bolivianos (about USD 478), hoping that the popular response would not be so strong.

After several talks with the government, Bolivian workers from the Bolivian Workers’ Union (COB) managed to get the fuel subsidy cut reversed, and maintain the wage increase, which shows not only the strength of the workers’ organization, but also their skill in negotiations.

The gains achieved through the workers’ struggle have transcended purely union issues. According to the COB, the government also agreed that, contrary to the intent of Decree 5503, it would not cede greater control of state natural resources to foreign companies.

Despite lifting of the measures, the COB has announced that it will remain in a state of emergency to ensure that the agreements are fulfilled and that the government does not attempt to reapply these types of measures.

Pepe Escobar on the ongoing USD decline:

The US dollar now represents less than 40% of global currency reserves - the lowest in at least 20 years. Gold now accounts for more global foreign exchange reserves than the euro, the yen and the pound combined. Central Banks are stockpiling gold like crazy, while BRICS accelerates the test of alternative payment systems in what I previously defined as "the BRICS lab".

One of the scenarios being directly proposed to BRICS, and designed as an alternative to cumbersome SWIFT, which does at least $1 trillion in transactions a day, features the introduction of a non-sovereign, blockchain-based trade token. That’s The Unit.

The Unit, correctly described as “apolitical money”, is not a currency, but a unit of account used for settlement in trade and finance between participating countries. The token could be pegged to a commodity basket or a neutral index to prevent domination by any single country. In this case it would work like the IMF’s Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), but within a BRICS framework.

American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
