Colombian elections: Historic victory for Gustavo Petro paves way for new struggles
By ISA in Colombia
After a tense and uncertain second round Gustavo Petro has won the Colombian presidential elections with 50.4% of the vote, beating right-populist opponent Rodolfo Hernandez who picked up 47.3%, a difference of 700,000 votes. Voter turnout was 58%, up from 54% in the first round and the highest in a Colombian election since 1998.
The mood amongst supporters of Pacto Historico (Historic Pact, the left wing alliance led by Petro) is jubilant and millions are celebrating this truly historic result. In a bastion of US imperialism; where the left has historically faced brutal violence at the hands of the state and right-wing paramilitaries — this year alone 52 activists have been murdered — over 11 million people voted for former M-19 guerrilla, Gustavo Petro.
Petro will be the first left president in the 213 year history of the Colombian state. Joining him is running mate Francia Marquez who will become Colombia's first ever black vice-president. Workers, young people and the oppressed masses will draw confidence from Petro's victory in the hope that a new period is opening up, one that leaves behind the successive regimes of violence and social misery that have dominated Colombia for decades.
Ultimately, the triumph of Petro and Pacto Historico must be seen as a product of the mass struggles that have rocked Colombia over the last period; the student demonstrations of 2018, the Paro Nacional of 2019 and, above all, last year's social explosion triggered by the 'paro nacional' (general strike) that saw millions take to the streets in every corner of the country. Strikes and blockades paralysed the economy and radical youth organízed in la primera línea heroically faced down brutal state repression, leading a movement that shook Colombian capitalism to its foundations.
Petro and Marquez' campaign saw hundreds of thousands attend rallies across the country, galvanized by their program for change: tackling staggering inequality and poverty, adopting a system of universal public healthcare, implementing the peace accords with the FARC and halting the extraction of fossil fuels.
We too share the enthusiasm and desire for social transformation that has been expressed in this extraordinary result. Nevertheless, as we have warned previously, Petro's limited reformist program and his drift towards accommodating himself to the establishment will not be enough to meet the needs and demands of the Colombian masses. As a decaying world capitalism becomes further engulfed in a plethora of crises, Petro will be confronted with economic and political turmoil and a ruling class desperate to maintain control of the situation.
How Petro won
Unfortunately, some are claiming Petro owes his victory to his increasingly moderate approach and his ability to calm the fears of those concerned by his radical credentials. But is there any truth in this?
For much of the last year Petro's victory seemed all but certain. That changed after the first round when the unexpected rise of Rodolfo Hernández complicated things. As the results came in May many Pacto Historico activists and supporters were seized by a sense of danger and even demoralization at the prospect of the reactionary, sexist Hernández becoming president.
As we pointed out in our analysis of the first round, the traditional political elite was dealt a significant blow with continuity candidate Federico 'Fico' Gutierrez failing to make it to the second round. Hernandez, a 77 year old multi-millionaire, went out of his way to distance himself from a completely discredited Uribismo, posing as being neither left nor right, but rather anti-system and anti-corruption. Nevertheless the ruling class were quick to line up behind him as the figure best suited to serve the rule of capital. Serving as a 'kiss of death', these endorsements helped expose Hernandez amongst a section of workers and youth who voted for him in the first round, believing he was a genuine anti–establishment candidate.
We must emphasize it was the heroic efforts of many rank and file activists who recognized the threat posed by Hernandez and went all out to convince friends, family, co-workers and neighbors to vote for Petro and Marquez. In reality, it was this strategy of turning out the vote that drove Petro to victory. Notable was the increased turnout in Bogota, the Caribbean coast, the Amazon and the Pacific. Those regions with a large Afro-Colombian and indigenous population, plagued by grinding poverty, super-exploitation and violent dispossession, voted for Pacto Historico.
Challenges, compromise and conciliation
While these results represent a real setback for the right, who are in utter disarray, we should be under no illusion that the forces of reaction will simply disappear. In fact some sectors have made it clear that they will fiercely oppose Petro's project. Representing the most truculent wing of the Colombian ruling class and a potential candidate to lead the opposition, Maria Cabal of El Centro Democratico (party of Alvaro Uribe and outgoing president Ivan Duque) tweeted:
"A difficult stage of national life is about to begin and we must prepare ourselves to face it with the tenacity required to defend our principles and values. This is no time for conformism, it is time to fight for our freedom."
Likewise, we should not underestimate the potential for paramilitary violence by groups that are tied by a thousand threads to the Colombian ruling class. On the election day itself two Pacto Historico activists were murdered in Cauca, a macabre warning to others.
Other sections of the bourgeoisie are attempting to domesticate Petro and are already congratulating him on his willingness to seek compromise and respect the integrity of the law and institutions. US imperialism took a similar approach. In the context of a waning influence in the region, president Joe Biden phoned Petro to congratulate him on his victory in an effort to maintain links with its most important ally in Latin America.
Although Pacto Historico are the largest force in Congress they fall significantly short of a majority. At the time of writing they are forming a coalition with Comunes (the political project of de-commissioned FARC combatants), the centrist Centro Esperanza, and most significantly one of the traditional parties of Colombian capitalism, El Partido Liberal. In order to calm the fears of big business and foregin investors Petro will name a moderate finance minister, looking towards Alejandro Gaviria — a former presidential candidate whose policies Petro criticised for being "unable to overcome neoliberalism."
All of these moves towards the right and, above all, the alliance with the Liberal Party are being justified as a means for Petro to form a stable government that can see through legislation. However, this will come at a price and, as a recent Bloomberg article stated, "[Petro] may be forced to tone down some of his more radical proposals to keep his allies on board." This is a mistaken approach that will only serve to demoralize and demobilize those activists and supporters who rallied around Pacto Historico in the hope of breaking with the status quo.
Although Petro and others justify their conciliation with establishment figures as seeking 'governability', that is extremely unlikely in the current period of capitalist crisis. 40% of the Colombian population live in poverty and 11% inflation will impact many more. As the US Fed raises interest rates Colombia's peso risks further devaluation, creating problems for Colombia to service its foreign debt, which stands at over 50% of its GDP. If Petro chooses to simply manage capitalism he will oversee greater misery inflicted on the Colombian masses, and create the space for the far-right to grow further (with the emergence of figures far nastier than Hernández)
Build mass struggle
That's why these elections must not be seen as an end in themselves but rather mark the beginning of a new period of class struggle and social change. Reflecting the more radical rank and file of Pacto Historico, environmental activist Francia Marquez declared in her victory speech:
"Let's fight for dignity, let's fight for social justice. Let's go for women to eradicate patriarchy from our country. Let's fight for the rights of the LGBTIQ community, let's fight for the rights of our mother earth. Let's eradicate structural racism."
Of course, we fully agree and as members of ISA we are active in these struggles in Latin America and internationally. But the question remains: what program and strategy are required to carry out these fights?
For us it is only through the continued mobilization of the working class and oppressed masses in the streets, in our workplaces, in our neighborhoods, in the countryside, and in schools and universities that we can guarantee that the limited reforms proposed by Petro and Marquez will be carried through. But to defeat the right, to win a lasting peace and to point a way out of the economic and social crisis will require going further and mounting a challenge against capitalism and imperialism.
Colombian capitalism: Develop or overthrow?
Yet in Petro's victory speech he once again made it clear that this was not his intention:
We are going to develop capitalism in Colombia, not because we worship it, but because we have, first of all, to overcome pre-modernity in Colombia, feudalism and the new forms of slavery.
We should be clear that the underdeveloped nature of capitalism in Colombia is structural. That is, its weakness does not come from poor policy decisions of this or that government but its economic subordination to especially US imperialism which, through the loyal assistance of the Colombian ruling class, has plundered the country of its abundant resources, exploited its cheap labour and gained access to its markets.
Petro's project falsely assumes there exists a progressive section of the capitalist class with whom workers can align themselves in a common project of economic development. In reality this means the oppressed uniting with our oppressors, the exploited teaming up with the exploiters. This can only end badly for the working class.
For a revolutionary socialist alternative
Here we see the great contradtions of Pacto Historico: on the one hand are the trade-unionists, the environmental activists, feminists and anti-racist activists as well as the millions of workers, youth and poor who want it to be an instrument of struggle that can fight for their interests. On the other hand stand establishment figures like Roy Barreras and Armando Benedetti who are committed to working within the confines of the system and undermining the full potential of the working class.
To carry out the struggles Marquez outlines in her speech they must be united together and guided by an analysis and program that understands that at the root of the violence, poverty and oppression plaguing the Colombian masses is capitalism — a system that relies upon sexist and racist division, a system that is driving us towards ecological catastrophe, a system that upholds its rule through violence and repression.
We therefore must warn against accepting the limits of the system and pursuing the dead-end strategy of parliamentary maneuvering and alliances with the political establishment. We affirm that genuine social transformation can only be won through a mass movement and we have full confidence in the working class, youth and oppressed to carry out this task. We saw their inspiring determination, combativity and ingenuity over the course of last year's Paro Nacional. We saw the titanic feminist movement win historic abortion rights in February.
It is this power that needs to be harnessed and consolidated. We call on all activists and supporters of Pacto Historico to seize the momentum of this historic moment, to stay mobilized, to continue to build struggle, to strengthen democratic rank and file organization and to discuss and debate how we can bring our movement forward.
For ISA that means adopting a revolutionary perspective and arming ourselves with a socialist program that can once and all break with horrors of capitalism and imperialism in Colombia, Latin America and the world.
We say:
Tax the super-rich and multinationals! Cancel all foreign debt foisted on Colombia by imperialist financial institutions. Immediately fund emergency anti-poverty measures like food and fuel subsidies.
Set price controls and increase wages to compensate for inflation
End privatization in healthcare and education — for a fully funded universal public health system and massive expansion of high-quality public education in primary, secondary and university.
Justice for victims of political violence, for an inquiry led by the trade unions, and organizations of historically oppressed communities and an end to impunity.
For a genuine agrarian reform. Seize the land from the mega landlords and distribute amongst the farmers and rural workers.
Take the commanding heights of the economy — the major banks, energy companies, mines and agribusiness — out of the private ownership of the multinationals and Colombian oligarchy and bring them in to public ownership under the democratic control and management of the real wealth creators — the working class.
Keep fossil fuels in the ground! For a transition to green energy with zero job losses or pay reductions for workers.
For a democratically planned socialist economy in which society's wealth and resources are produced and distributed to meet human need, not for the profits of a tiny elite.

"I am looking forward to joining in with Syriza's vital election campaign over the next few days. During my trip I will be blogging daily on my website, http://www.paulmurphymep.eu/ Those opposed to disastrous austerity policies across Europe will all be looking to Greece and hoping for a victory of Syriza. If a left government committed to fighting the austerity policies being pushed by the capitalist establishment can be formed, it will have huge political implications across Europe. It will challenge the ideological onslaught which says that there is no alternative to austerity policies and demonstrate that policies that put the needs of working people before the profits of banks and bondholders can be implemented.


The furniture retailer might start this new experiment on Amazon, too.
If you live far away from your nearest Ikea store, this news is going to make your day: The furniture store chain recently announced a plan to start selling products through websites other than its own in 2018.
There aren't any details yet on which sites the Swedish retailers would like to use, but Reuters predicts that Amazon might be a contender.
Using practices similar to the exclusive features offered by Amazon Prime membership (like free two-day delivery and smooth delivery options) could completely change the way shoppers buy furniture online — not to mention you could avoid the headache of navigating Ikea on the weekends.

Taste Chapter 27 from Kedesha
Pele Ezrahi, Kedesha: A Timeless Tale of a Love Priestess
The priestess dipped three fingers into the blood and smeared the face of one of the men in the congregation with three long red lines, from his forehead to his chin. Uziyah looked around and noticed several other men who had been marked in the same way: three long vertical lines the length of the entire face, giving them a wild and threatening look. Why were these men chosen among all the others who were marked with only a red dot between their eyes?
The elder priestess, holding a silver staff shaped like a snake in her right hand, approached the altar with ceremonial steps. The beating of the drums continued ceaselessly, like the pulsation of a great heart, bringing the heartbeats of the entire congregation into unison. This was Ishtar, the high priestess of the Astarte Temple, whose eyes now looked closed while her mouth continuously repeated the words of the poem to the rhythm of the sound of the great drum. The entire congregation repeated it with her: "I am the Goddess, I am the blood of life. I am the Goddess, I am the blood of life…." Uziyah's eyes were fixated on her, not noticing that the young priestess, who beforehand had drawn his attention, was now making her way toward him through the rows of the men in the congregation.
Before he noticed her stopping next to him, he became aware of a new and sweet fragrance that had just penetrated his nostrils. It was the scent of a woman at the peak of her beauty, blended with the smell of fresh blood that arose from the silver bowl she was holding. He suddenly turned in the direction of the fragrance and there she was right next to him, as beautiful as the moon, as bright as the sun. Their eyes met for a moment that seemed like an eternity. She dipped three fingers into the blood and smeared the entire length of his face with long red lines. His jaw fell in shock, but there were no words in his mouth. She lightly bowed her head toward him and went on, continuing her work.
"Aho, my friend," patted the bald man on Uziyah's shoulder. You have just arrived and you are already invited into the sacred."
"What? What does my being invited into the sacred mean?" asked Uziyah in panic.
He had not anticipated this. All he wanted was to stand at the side, without anyone noticing him, or God forbid, identifying him. He wanted to see how they perform the sacred ceremonies in the Astarte Temple, about which he had heard so much. Being a priest in Yahweh's Temple in this splintered and troubled generation, he had never set foot in any other temple, even though they were only a short walking distance apart. He had come here this evening discreetly, and the fact that he was now called into the sacred terrified him. If only he could now flee for his life without creating an uproar. He looked around and realized that he was surrounded on all sides by people who were singing with devotion. If he would try to push his way through them to escape, he would draw even more attention to himself. Doing so would be as bad as remaining.
"'What does it mean' you ask?" wondered the bald man at Uziyah's question. "You are indeed new here, aren't you my friend? So, you shall soon see my friend, you shall soon see." He smiled at Uziyah, looking amused. Then he added: "They will soon call all those who were marked with three lines on their faces into the center of the hall. If the priestess marked you, obviously the Goddess has chosen you. Don't resist, don't be afraid. It is a blessing, a blessing for you and your family, whoever you are. Don't worry."
But Uziyah was very worried. What if his identity will be discovered? All of Jerusalem would then know that Uziyah, son of Elazar the priest, had participated in the new moon celebration in Astarte's Temple. Hilkiyahu the high priest would explode in rage, and it would not shed a pleasant light on his father. For his entire life, his now elderly father had attempted to walk between the raindrops and not get wet. He had attempted, and until now had been successful. He had served as an ordinary priest in Yahweh's Temple, under the imbecilic leadership of Hilkiyahu, the high priest, while ancient secrets that were anathema to Hilkiyahu and his followers were preserved in great secrecy within the family.
As appropriate for a descendant of Aaron the priest, Elazar was also a man of peace. He was different from all those other strife-mongers who filled Yahweh's Temple in these days. The elder Elazar had succeeded to live in peace even with Shaphan the scribe and his followers in the royal palace. They, who hated the guts of the Goddess worship and worshippers, respected Elazar and didn't know a thing about his positive feelings for the Goddesses. Until now, Uziyah's father had succeeded in walking safely between all the splinter groups of the people and to avoid dispute. "I dispute the need for dispute," Elazar would say jokingly to anyone who ever tried to drag him into some holy argument. But now, if Uziyah, son of Elazar's visit to Astarte's Temple on the night of the new moon would become known, it would likely endanger the entire family. His heart pounded in his chest. It was impossible for him to flee, and he was afraid of trying to wipe off the blood marks from his face. So he decided to wait and pray for some respectable way to get out of this mess. But to whom should he pray in a situation like this? To Yahweh, the God of his ancestors, or to the great Goddess Astarte, in whose temple he was standing? Or perhaps to both together?
While he stood, confused and in panic, Ishtar the high priestess began her ascent up the steps leading to the seat above the altar. The young priestesses spread over the altar glowing coals held in copper braziers. On the red-hot coals, they placed various leaves and resins, as smoke spiraled upward. Ishtar sat down in her seat. She deeply inhaled the smoke of the incense rising from the altar. She had personally overseen the preparation of a special mixture of spices that arouses passion in whoever inhales it, while disintegrating all walls of fear in the person's soul, just as the walls of Jericho had fallen before the passion of Rahab, the prostitute, as she united with Joshua, leader of Israel's tribes.
Only after the locks that shut the gates of the heart fall away and people are no longer protected from the consuming intensity of divine love, is the Goddess able to appear in her full beauty in the flesh and blood body of a human being.
Ishtar anxiously awaited this moment. She knew the ways in which the gates of her soul were opened, and she knew how to tread that path. The Goddess had already appeared through her many times. Sometimes like a compassionate mother who provides food and shelter for her believers, and sometimes like a wild wolf seeking to tear to pieces anyone who stands in her way. Other times she appeared like a drooling prostitute who seeks to flirt wherever her beloved appears, and other times like a wise owl that seeks to open the eyes of those who cleave to it to see even in the darkness.
But this time, Ishtar knew that the Goddess wanted to talk through her. She had been told in a dream that she must prepare herself for the sacred ceremony on the night of the new moon, for the Goddess will then appear through her and convey to her what she should say to the priestesses and believers. Ishtar again inhaled the smoke deeply and waited. The smoke of this new formulation of incense hovered in the space of the temple and penetrated into the nostrils of all the believers. Sighs of wellbeing arose from the congregation. Some of the people sprawled out on the floor, which was covered with red carpets. Many, men and women alike, hugged each other as loving brothers and sisters. Their eyes slowly closed, and over their faces spread a soft smile.
"Come here."
Uziyah looked in front of him and saw the beautiful priestess who had marked his face with lines of blood standing before him. She took hold of his fingers and pulled him forward. Her eyes smiled at him sweetly. "Come with me," she whispered.
He followed her silently without any resistance but asked himself why is he following her so naturally. He continued walking, simultaneously observing himself walking, but the inner observer was not involved in the walking, rather only watched the proceedings from above. The walking seemed as if it was taking place by itself, like magic.
"Come," she said again, and his body continued following her through the large space as the men and women looked at him. He saw himself following the priestess into the center of the hall. Several other men were already standing there and in front of each of them danced one of the priestesses, wriggling like a snake.
Uziyah had never seen such seductive movements in his life. One after the other, the men untied the bows of their clothes, exposing the front of their bodies to the priestesses. Uziyah froze. The priestess who danced before him began opening up the long sash that surrounded his waist. In his heart, he thanked her for this. It had already seemed to him to be a necessary thing to do, for from moment to moment his clothes were becoming heavier and heavier on his body. He would have wanted to strip everything off and stand like that before the entire congregation, before God and man, naked and nude, clean, pure and simple as on the day he was born. But his arms were as heavy as lead and his eyes were frozen as if hypnotized by the sensuous movements of her dancing as she was untying the bows. He was getting impatient. His body wanted to throw off all covering of clothing, but his sash was long and wrapped around his waist many times. The priestess had to unwrap it thirty-two times in order to expose his flesh, which was imprisoned within it as if in a cocoon. The truth is naked, so why is he walking around covered with garments, like Adam, after he betrayed the living God? His eyes opened wide and his head nodded to her. His body begged to be relieved of the great lie of all these coverings. The observer within him that was watching the developments with a momentary delay, was shocked by the sight and began screaming warning cries. But the cries came from the distance, while here, on site, everything was so clear, so simple, so appropriate. Uziyah had never stood naked like this in front of a congregation of women and men, but it had also never been so pleasant, so simple, and so understood as now.
The entire room melted in his consciousness. The boundaries between people and walls, between them and himself, became muddled until they disappeared completely. Each thing melted into the other. It seemed that there was no longer any congregation of individual people here standing in the temple space, but, rather, one amazing presence that dwelled in everything, that poured over from one person to another, as if all the people were connected with transparent channels of light.
The tips of her fingers caressed his nude body, and deep pleasure spread throughout it. His penis immediately stood up, erect and alert like a guard at a watchtower. A woman had never touched his genitals until that moment. Deep silence reverberated around and within him, even the cries of the observer had ceased, and its desirable silence was as pleasant to Uziyah as the singing of the angels. Whoever would now come and say that a strange woman is touching him would be speaking falsehood. The woman whose fingers are now moving around his exposed body is not a stranger to him, even if he does not know her name or her family. She is connected to him with subtle threads of light, with many ancient threads, threads from the beginning of time. The men surrounding him inhaled and exhaled with great excitement. From time to time, a roar would break forth from one of them, and a stream of semen would immediately shoot out of his body like a flood.
Uziyah had never seen anything like this. Concealed sighing could occasionally be heard in the priestly residence in Yahweh's Temple, but that happened under the cover of darkness. He looked around and saw that the men at his side were not attempting to conceal anything. He laughed with pleasure. His heart became joyous when he realized that his soul too was now becoming released from its chains. As if on its own, his body began to move in pleasurable waves. The priestess began to move in tandem with him. She touched his burning penis, bent over and blew on it with her sweet breath, as she continued dancing before him as a flame of light. She filled her palm with saliva and took hold of his penis, stroking it back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, with her well-lubricated hand. He would never be the same after this, that much Uziyah knew for sure. It was as if God had touched him, and he is being transformed into another person. He saw the priestess holding out a golden jar toward his shivering body. "Give me your seed" she whispered to him. "The great Goddess wants your seed in order to become pregnant from it and give birth to the new moon. Will you give to her?" Of course, he will give, of course. He will give anything his seed, he will even give his very self, with all his might and with all his soul will he give it, and if he would be able to turn his skin inside out, he would willingly do that as well.
Through the veil of smoke hovering around her seat, Ishtar heard the loud roarings of the men giving of their seed to the Goddess. It was a long time since she had last felt the touch of a man on her own nude body, a long time since she had last smelled the pleasant fragrance of a man's fresh sweat dripping from his forehead while pursuing his passion in her inner chambers. The sounds arising from the hall stimulated her. She took off her robe and began touching herself. The lips framing her vagina swelled and opened with lust, her fingers dripped sweet liquid. Deep within her heart, she sensed that it was coming, that soon she would not be here anymore, only the Goddess would be present, while she herself would disappear. She might disappear for a few hours, perhaps a few days, no one could know in advance. She smiled to herself, to her body, as if welcoming the approach of the yearned-for queen.
With a great, long and loud roar, Uziyah released his semen into the collection bowl that the beautiful priestess held out with her skilled hand. He released himself, from himself. Very soon, he knew, the new moon would be born. A new moon would shine on Zion, but this time, its silvery light would shine on him in a completely different way. He collapsed to the floor of the hall. The priestess handed over his seed to wherever she handed it over, then returned to him, bent over him, and took his body into her pleasant, soft embrace. He was ready and willing to remain in this place forever. Exposed, nude, authentic, shining, among these people who, as he could see, were all connected to each other with threads of light, wrapped by the thin arms of the priestess, whose name he didn't even know, and neither did she know his name, but the red blood of her womb with the outpouring of his white seed would together give birth to the new moon.
Protrusions were carved in Ishtar's seat resembling the members of all the various gods. Some were thick, with an ox face. Some were thin and long, with the faces of eagles and hawks, those visioning birds. Some were the faces of lions and leopards, fierce bears and rams with long horns. Some were sharp-pointed, some were hunched and some were even split into two. Onto these, the figures of various snakes and dragons were carved, as well as other fire-wielding creatures that fly about in the worlds of the gods.
Ishtar spread her thighs and looked around at the various organs standing erect around her. The faces carved on them now took on a deeper meaning. Their eyes, embedded with precious stones, became alive. All of the gods appeared before her, while she became filled with gratitude. She, a mortal human being, was surrounded by all of the celestial beings. Their eyes flashed in her direction, their teeth shone, they all wanted to make love to her and bless her with the blessings of above and below. She loved them all. Great lust arose in her. To fully surrender to each of the gods, she being the high priestess who is able to contain many loves, she did exactly that.

Capabilities to Succeed in the Digital Age
We are on the cusp of the 4th Industrial Revolution, a cyber-physical or digital age. It is an age in which materials and machines are inter-connected within the internet of things (IoT), where everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data. There is much focus on the technological aspects of this revolution, but technology alone will not guarantee success in the digital age.
In conjunction with ADS, this event explored the role that advanced manufacturing and operational capabilities play in supporting the adoption of cyber-physical systems in the UK aerospace industry. It also explored the interaction capabilities required to enable High Value Manufacturing (HVM) SMEs to grow their business with larger customers. Practical insight was gained through case studies of two aerospace companies undergoing a digital transformation.

by Amanda Lickers from Reclaim Turtle Island
As yall know, self-representation and independent media are key.
You might have heard about Reclaim Turtle Island , which is a budding platform for Indigenous-run grassroots media projects. Right now we need your support! Literally all across Turtle Island, Indigenous Nations are combating reservation apartheid and industrial genocide. This means fierce 'n' frontline resistance to resource extraction! Everything from tar sands, pipelines, fracking, to mining, Land Defenders are throwing down to protect our lands and build up our communities, regaining identity and reclaiming territories.
Born in late 2013, we focused on supporting the Mi'kmaq Warriors fighting fracking, and put out our first short film! Co-produced with subMedia.tv, titled Kahsatstenhsera – Indigenous Resistance to Tar Sands Pipelines.
Reclaim Turtle Island is a form of anti-colonial cultural production and is primarily focused on producing media for and by Indigenous folks, helping to inspire to strive for total liberation. We are raising funds for a few simple reasons.
#1 is equipment. We want to produce high-quality short films that educate and elevate! This means audio, post-production editing tools, data storage (so many hard drives), etc!
The other main reason is that we are in the midst of production right now!!!!
*Funds from this project will go to:
Film production, including Dine' resistance to frack-sand mining, uranium mining and cultural revitalization and sovereignty projects, Lakota and Ponca resistance to tar sands pipelines, Innu resistance to Plan Nord, and more…
Travel for an ACFN grassroots organizer to attend an important gathering in Lakota territory, marking their 2014 Liberation Day and furthering conversations about tar sands resistanc…
Equipment needed for film-production, such as audio, post-production editing, etc…
Even a small donation will help us reach our goal!!
Donate here.
Nia:wen'kowa – Great thanks! Your support can help make this happen.

Occupied Abenaki Lands Desecrated by 9/11 Memorial Protesters Intervene to Address U.S. Imperialism & Genocide
reposted from Indigenous Action Media
U.S. flag receptacle
Middlebury College, VT — At 3:00PM on Wednesday, September 11, 2013, five protesters removed thousands of flags desecrating occupied Abenaki lands. The U.S. flags were part of a 9/11 memorial established by Middlebury College students.
Amanda Lickers, a member of the Onondowa'ga Nation, states, "In the quickest moment of decision making, in my heart, I understood that lands where our dead may lay must not be desecrated. In my community, we do not pierce the earth. It disturbs the spirits there, it is important for me to respect their presence."
"For over 500 years our people have been under attack. The theft of our territories, the devastation of our waters; the poisoning of our people through the poisoning of our lands; the theft of our people from our families; the rape of our children; the murder of our women; the sterilization of our communities; the abuse of generations; the uprooting of our ancestors and the occupation of our sacred sites; the silencing of our songs; the erasure of our languages and memories of our traditions. I have had enough." stated Lickers.
Lickers was at the college to facilitate a workshop on Settler Responsibility and Decolonization. Continue reading →

Sweden's Indigenous Sami in Fight Against Miners
by Malin Rising and David Mac Dougall / The Detroit News
Per Mikael Utsi, standing, member of the Sami Parliament, takes part in the opening session of the parliament in Jokkmokk, northern Sweden (Carl-Johan Utsi / AP)
Jokkmokk, Sweden — On a dirt road passing through sparkling lakes and spruce woods in the wilds of northern Sweden, a woman belonging to Europe's only indigenous people — the Sami — chants a traditional, high-pitched tune.
Since the end of the last Ice Age, the Sami have wandered the vast landscapes of northern Europe, herding reindeer and nurturing a philosophy of harmony with nature. This time, however, the woman's Joik — a Sami chant that involves gliding over notes without lyrics — has a desperate tone to it: Her voice trembles and grows into a scream as four policemen remove her from the road. She had been protesting a British mining company's plans for an open pit mine on ancient lands.
The woman is one of dozens of Sami and environmental activists who gathered recently on the site, setting up road blocks, burning bonfires and flying the Sami flag, with the aim to block the company from conducting test blasts near the town of Jokkmokk on the Arctic Circle.

Indigenous Resistors to Wind Farm Project in Mexico Facing Violent Threats
from CODIGODH
The Gobixha Committee for the Integral Defense of Human Rights (CODIGO DH) would like to express concern for the lack of institutional attention to the conflict generated by the construction of the wind farm Strength and Energy Bií Hioxo, owned by the Gas Natural Fenosa (GNF) Company. This situation has generated a wave of violence against supporters of the Popular Assembly of the People of Juchitán (APPJ). We are concerned about the indifference of the authorities and their lack of action during the last eight months.
The last act of violence against members of the APPJ took place on Sunday, August 25, when they where attacked by gunshots at the summit of the place named Chigueeze, inside the area of the Bií Hioxo park. These actions took place approximately at noon when APPJ members were walking on communal lands to document the effects of the wind farm project. At this time they were stopped by armed men in a white suburban who threatened them with death, took their pictures, and shot at them. The men briefly held Sara Lopez prisoner and tried to stab her, but she was defended by the people who were with her, and was able to escape. The armed men also tried to run over another person with their vehicle.

ELF Attacks On Tourism, Development and Culture in Germany, Russia and Indonesia
Image of the site prior to sabotage. "Militante Ökos haben sich zum Anschlag auf die Seilbahn am Wurmberg bekannt."
from Earth First! Newswire
The international ELF presence appears to be on the rise.
Last week it was reported that militant ecologists destroyed parts of a ski lift and an artificial snow production station at the Wurmberg in the Harz region of Germany, declaring themselves to be members of the Earth Liberation Front (ELF). This marks the first reported action of an ELF cell in German-speaking countries.
Area threatened by ski tourism. "Der millionenteure Ausbau des Skigebiets für den Tourismus wird heftig kritisiert." (Archivbild)
According to initial police estimates, the damage amounts to around 100,000 euros, primarily by cutting numerous electrical lines. The action aimed at protesting the destruction of a sensitive area for the sake of ski tourism.
Earlier in the month, ELF Moscow had this to say:
"About two weeks ago we torched a tracked excavator at the place where workers were destroying Ismailovo park. The vehicle was parked on the side of the highway, where they were adding more lanes to the road. It took us 3-4 minutes to do the job. Continue reading →

Prisoner Support: Two Activists Arrested with "Burglary Tools" in Rural Illinois
Animal rights activists held in jail for allegedly possessing wire cutters.
from Animal Liberation Frontline
Los Angeles animal rights activists Kevin Olliff and Tyler Lang have been arrested in rural Illinois, charged with felony "possession of burglary tools."
These are the facts of the case that are known right now:
The two were pulled over late at night in Roanoke, Illinois in what appears to be a routine traffic stop. When they refused consent to a search of the vehicle, the police searched the vehicle anyway. Inside, police allege they found bolt cutters, wire cutters, muriatic acid, ski masks, and cammo clothing.
Kevin Olliff and Tyler Lang were subsequently arrested for "possession of burglary tools." The police have not made any statement as to what they believe the intended "burglary" target was, and Kevin & Tyler were not arrested on anyone's property. Their history as activists appears to be the sole basis for the charges.

►►Aid group denies link to US intelligence in Pakistan. Aid group Save the Children denied accusations it has ties to US intelligence agencies in Pakistan. The organization's denial came shortly after Dr. Shakil Afridi, a doctor the CIA recruited to help in the search for Osama bin Laden, told Pakistani interrogators that Save the Children played a role in his becoming involved with the CIA. Following Afridi's interrogation, the Pakistani government banned some Save the Children members from leaving the country and aid supplies –including medical supplies– have been blocked by customs.
►►Is MI6 double spy's case linked with Gareth Williams' death? In 2010, British authorities jailed for a year MI6 employee Daniel Houghton, after he was caught trying to sell classified documents to MI5 spooks posing as foreign agents. According to newspaper The Daily Mirror, British police are now "probing a possible link between the Houghton's case and the death of MI6 employee Gareth Williams, who was found dead in his London apartment in 2010. According to the paper, police detectives "want assurances from MI6 that Williams' details [and] identity were not compromised" by Houghton.
►►Fears of spying hinder US license for China Mobile. China Mobile, the world's largest mobile provider, applied in October for a license from the Federal Communications Commission to provide service between China and the United States and to build facilities on American soil. But officials from the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department's National Security Division are concerned that the move would give the company access to physical infrastructure and Internet traffic that might allow China to spy more easily on the US government and steal intellectual property from American companies. This is according to The Los Angeles Times, which cites "people familiar with the process who declined to be identified because the deliberations are secret". US officials and lawmakers have expressed similar concerns about a Chinese telecommunications hardware manufacturer Huawei Technologies, which is alleged to have contacts with the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Ministry of State Security.

State Trunk Highway 115 (often called Highway 115, STH-115 or WIS 115) was a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It ran north–south between Hustisford and Juneau. In 2005, the road was turned over to Dodge County, which now maintains it as County Trunk Highway DJ (CTH-DJ.

History
In 1920, WIS 115 was established to travel roughly along WIS 80 from WIS 60 north of Muscoda to WIS 11 (now US 14) in Richland Center. Then, in 1923, without any prior significant changes, the route was relocated in favor of WIS 80's northern extension. After that, WIS 115 appeared along present-day WIS 175 from WIS 15/WIS 55 (now Hilltop Drive) in Meeker to WIS 15/WIS 60 (now Sherman Road) in Ackerville. This route functions like an alternate route of WIS 15. Shortly after paving the entire route with concrete, WIS 15 moved onto WIS 115, superseding this route in the process.

In 1926, WIS 115 was reestablished in response to the introduction of the U.S. Highway System, specifically US 118. Due to the existence of both US 118 and WIS 118, WIS 118 was replaced with WIS 115. It ran along present-day CTH-DJ from WIS 60 west of Hustisford to WIS 26 in Juneau. During this time, no significant changes had been made. In 2006, the route was removed in favor of transferring it to local control (replaced by CTH-DJ).

Small Earth Stories
Pursuing Thomas Berry's 'New Story' with an eye on climate change
Scholars discuss Berry, distinguished cultural historian, self-described 'geologian' at conference
by Jesse Remedios | Spirituality
191030ThomasBerryandtheGreatWork c.jpg
Passionist Fr. Thomas Berry (Marnie Muller)
Washington — Brian Swimme, a cosmologist, was watching his dog, Emily.
Emily was wagging her tail and staring right back at him.
Swimme wondered: Where did Emily's personality come from? His imagination took him back in time. He considered traits that Emily inherited from wolf ancestors, reptiles, amphibians and fish. He even wondered about that moment when unicellular beings came together for the first time to form the first ever multicellular beings.
It was at that point that Swimme realized that his dog's personality, unique and distinct, was constructed by this process of creation — a series of interactions among organisms that stem all the way back to the birth of life. And, he realized, this process is still happening.
EarthBeat wants to know what your parish is doing in response to climate change. Take the survey here.
Swimme was among more than a dozen scholars who discussed the work of the late Passionist Fr. Thomas Berry, the distinguished cultural historian and self-described "geologian" at an Oct. 30-31 conference at Georgetown University.*
"[Berry] said we live in a developing universe — that's the great 'New Story,' " Swimme, a professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, told the audience. "We live in a universe that is developing on every level."
At the conference, "Thomas Berry and 'The Great Work,' " historians, theologians and scientists considered how Berry's work reflects his vision of an ecological awakening among the human community.

Berry, who directed the graduate program in the history of religions* at Fordham University and founded and directed the Riverdale Center of Religious Research in Riverdale, New York, argued that a new narrative of the universe was essential if humans were to form a less destructive relationship with nature. In his 1978 paper, "The New Story," Berry wrote: "The Old Story — the account of how the world came to be and how we fit into it — is not functioning properly, and we have not learned the New Story."
Berry believed that an understanding of the history of the universe and its ever-evolving character would lead humans out of an era of mass extinction and into a more creative, sustainable period. Knowing this story can help humans see that "the universe is a communion of subjects, not a collection of objects," an idea from Berry's book, Evening Thoughts, that several speakers cited during the conference. "If we understand this new universe, it will lead to deep changes in how we organize ourselves as humans," said Swimme, who co-wrote and hosted the 2011 Emmy-winning documentary "Journey of the Universe."
Multiple presenters traced Berry's insight about the power of story to his background as a cultural historian.
Heather Eaton, a professor of peace studies at St. Paul University in Ottawa, said that throughout Berry's work is "an awareness of how psychic energies are galvanized by dreams and stories, myths and symbols, metaphors and, especially, by journey."
"The story that humanity tells about itself, including its relationship to God, must be understood within this broader and more encompassing narrative," said Daniel Scheid, theology professor at Duquesne University. "This story can become the basis for social and cultural change."
If Berry's vision of a cultural shift into a new era is to be realized, the scholars agreed that religion will need to play a key role in bringing it about.
In her Oct. 30 keynote address, Mary Evelyn Tucker, a religion professor at Yale University who co-authored Thomas Berry: A Biography and worked closely with Swimme on the multi-media "Journey of the Universe" project, said this moment in history needs the "moral force of all the world's religions."
Tucker said current movements aimed at climate change require the same type of moral authority that religious leaders provided the civil rights movement with in the 1960s.
"The fire is here. The presence is right ahead of us," Tucker said. "Things are beginning to change, especially in this moral verse."
In the spirit of Berry, an expert on a wide range of religions around the world, the scholars emphasized that Christianity will not be able to bring about this new era of ecological awareness alone. Nevertheless, several of them noted Pope Francis' leadership and the significance of his encyclical, Lauadato Si', in helping to bring about the ecological awakening Berry called for.
"In addressing a truly global dilemma, no one religious tradition in isolation can solve this crisis," said Leo Lefebure, a theology professor at Georgetown University. "Pope Francis hopes that a convergence of voices and values from different traditions can contribute to the ecological conversion so desperately needed."

"[Laudato Si'] is critically important as a moral statement for our time," said Rev. Nancy Wright, pastor of Ascension Lutheran Church in South Burlington, Vermont. "The encyclical is an appeal for a new dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet, which includes everyone. The Franciscan sensibilities of simplicity and concern that all parts of creation are experienced as kin under God's care infuses Laudato Si'."
In her presentation, Wright referred to teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg. In Thunberg's TED Talk, Wright said, she desperately asks of adults in power, "Can you hear me?"
"With Thomas Berry and Pope Francis as our prophetic guides — not only for life orientation and meaning, but for action — we find ourselves able more readily to answer the 16-year-old prophet's question, 'Can you hear me?' and God's question, 'Where are you?' with the answers. 'Yes,' and, 'We are home.' "

There's No Place Like Home	The Question That Made Me Realize My Stress Was Hurting My Husband. A Lot.
I remember as a boy playing this album on my parents' 78 RPM record player and singing the lyrics at the top of my lungs. At the time, I really had no idea what the lyrics meant. All I could picture was a bunch of cowboys sitting around a table playing cards; which could not have been any more badass to a young boy. This song pops into my head or plays on the radio every so often. Each time it plays the lyrics seem to ring a bit less hollow as I age. In addition, the older I get the more I understand and realize a high percentage of most people do not possess the capacity of judgment, let along good judgment.
You are always told, "use your best judgment" when tasked with non-critical decision making. I think some aspects of judgment are hereditary and others are learned behavior. Some are just plain stupid. I am convinced that there are people whose inner voice screams much louder when it comes to identifying what is right and wrong. An example of this lack of the inner voice is when someone would risk pleasing another while jeopardizing the well-being of themselves and others. The situation I am about to describe is likely not what you are thinking. It is a classic case of Southern hospitality gone bad.
Since moving to the northern suburbs of Atlanta I have discovered an epidemic of questionable judgment while driving. In South Georgia it was more common to not use your turn signal that it was to use it. While the majority of ATLians signal to turn and switch lanes, several of its rural suburban drivers possess a habit to yield the right away. Never in my life have I have seen so many people willing to completely stop their car, at the risk of being rear-ended, to allow a person stopped at a stop sign to advance in front of them.
Recently, I was a waiting to turn left at a 'T' stop sign. When I looked to my right I saw an oncoming car approaching at the rate of approximately 45mph. I patiently waited for the car to pass by before executing my left hand turn. As I looked right to check the opposite direction and look left again I noticed that the car I was waiting for to pass by was at a complete stop in the road at the 2 o'clock position in front of me. I figured they were making a cautious, un-signaled turn left in front of me. Instead I became shocked when I noticed the driver gesturing for me to turn left in front of her. My jaw about hit the floorboard of my truck. Only two days before I saw a similar scenario play out in front of me that nearly became a horrific 5-6 car crash. With precious cargo in my vehicle (my son) I decided that I would stay put. The driver refused to take no for an answer as she denied my waves for her to continue. I became angry towards her for putting me and my son at risk and substituted the wave gesture to an emphatic slow 180-degree shake of my head while screaming, "NO! NO! NO! YOU GO!" The standoff seemed to have lasted five minutes, but was probably 20-30 seconds total. By the end of the confrontation the line of traffic waiting to advance to the stop sign began honking their horns at me to move and there was a line of right-of-way traffic mounting behind the overly generous female driver that I am now convinced was trying to get me killed. I finally checked one last time to my left and floored it out of there. If I were to have got into an accident there who would have been at fault? Me. Just follow the rules of the road! This is one example of EXTREMELY POOR JUDGMENT.
A few days ago I was scanning through news headlines online. I read a title that alarmed me. The headline previewed a story that highlighted a police officer that should have discharged his weapon in the line of duty for the protection of himself and the welfare of the community but feared doing so because the criminal suspect was an armed African-American teenager. In the middle of an armed altercation the officer cited that for a split second he actually considered not returning fire with the armed suspect out of fear of becoming the country's next Darren Wilson (the officer who shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri over one year ago). Lapse in judgment and lack of clarity can be catastrophic in life or death situations. In this instance, it prevented this officer from properly doing his job.
Passing judgment is the worst kind of judgment. It can be difficult to rid your mind of stereotypes, labels and pre-conceived thoughts toward individuals you do not know. Even if you think you know someone it can still occur. Many of my male colleagues have wives that do not work. There are times after my wife and I have had a long week of work I find myself building up resentment toward some of those families. The feeling gets stronger each time I pay the bill to my son's daycare. Part of me feels robbed not only economically for the deep financial commitment for preschool, but to the time that my wife and I lose with our sons because we both choose to work. Passing judgment just as yielding the right-of-way may not be in the best interests or the well-being of you and those around you. Truth be told, when it comes to the assessment of your judging others you'll probably be the judge of that.

"No thank you, Mr. Pecker." With those words, addressed to David Pecker, the chief executive of American Media Inc., Jeff Bezos, the owner of Amazon and The Washington Post, launched into an extraordinary story last night on Medium, outlining an "extortion and blackmail" attempt against him by the National Enquirer, which is owned by AMI. The Enquirer threatened to publish explicit images of Bezos (please, read the details for yourselves) unless he publicly renounced the finding, reached by a team of private investigators he'd hired to look into the Enquirer, that its coverage of him had been politically motivated.
How did we get here? Last month, the Enquirer published an exposé on Bezos's love life, boasting that it had tracked him "across five states and 40,000 miles" to reveal an alleged affair with Lauren Sanchez, a former TV news anchor in LA. (Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie Bezos, said they were divorcing after a "long period" of "trial separation.") Bezos swiftly retained Gavin de Becker, security guru to the stars, to find out who had leaked incriminating texts to the Enquirer. Last week, The Daily Beast reported that investigators suspected a political game was afoot: Pecker is a long-time ally of Donald Trump, who has, in turn, volubly assailed Bezos, including over the Post's coverage of the White House. (Trump certainly revelled in the story of the affair once it published; "So sorry to hear the news about Jeff Bozo," he tweeted.) Last night, in his Medium post, Bezos also alluded to a "Saudi angle" involving an AMI tabloid called "The New Kingdom." He wrote that Pecker was "apoplectic" about the private investigation.
The Post had no hesitation reporting on Bezos's Medium post; an article covering it sits high up on the paper's homepage and above the fold of its print edition this morning. Indeed, Bezos using a blog to allege media extortion is newsworthy, especially when he ties his treatment to the Enquirer's role in the investigations surrounding Trump and his associates. Bezos lays out a (very) explicit example of the dirty tricks the Enquirer plays to manipulate targets—echoing, in some way, the "catch and kill" tactics it used during the 2016 campaign to buy, then bury, sleazy stories about Trump. In exchange for immunity from prosecution, AMI has been cooperating with federal prosecutors investigating Michael Cohen, Trump's former fixer, for his possibly illegal role in coordinating those hush payments. Bezos's revelations about AMI's more recent conduct cast new doubt on that cooperation (though at least one lawyer doubts the Bezos blackmail constitutes a crime).
In other words, the stories that appear in the Enquirer are often far less newsworthy than the stories that don't. As the Bezos episode has evolved, the Post seems to have struck an appropriate balance in covering AMI's salacious tabloid gossip (less important) and shady business strategy (more so). Getting caught in the crossfire of the stuff very rich people do is an occupational hazard when your owner is a very rich person. Given all Bezos has done for the Post, perhaps it's a price well worth paying.
"We'll ruin you": After Bezos hit publish, journalists who have investigated AMI's dodgy tactics said they, too, had been threatened by the company. Ronan Farrow, of The New Yorker, tweeted that he was told to "stop digging or we'll ruin you." And Lachlan Markay, of The Daily Beast, reported recent legal threats from AMI's attorneys.
"Scared and alone": While Bezos won widespread plaudits on media Twitter last night, HuffPost's Maxwell Strachan sounded a different note. "I would urge you to think of people much less wealthy than Bezos who found themselves in a similar situation with a tabloid—they are left feeling scared, alone and like they have no other choice but to capitulate to the demands, whatever they are," he wrote.
Mistaken identity: "@JeffBezos make it stop pls," @Enquirer tweeted last night. @Enquirer is the handle of The Cincinnati Enquirer, the Pulitzer-winning newspaper in Ohio, not the National Enquirer.
The Virginian-Pilot, a local newspaper in Norfolk, Virginia, found a bevy of racist images and slurs in an old yearbook edited by Tommy Norment, the Republican majority leader of the State Senate. The scoop deepened Virginia's governance crisis, sparked a week ago by Big League Politics, a pro-Trump website, when it publicized a racist photo in the medical school yearbook of Ralph Northam, Virginia's governor—a Democrat—and has since embroiled Justin Fairfax, the lieutenant governor, in a sexual assault allegation, and Mark Herring, the attorney general, in his own blackface scandal.
Yesterday morning, press freedom advocates appeared near the White House to demand justice for Jamal Khashoggi, the murdered Saudi journalist, ahead of today's deadline for an official US government response to his case. CNN's Michelle Kosinski reports that the administration is likely to double down on its defense of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Times's Mark Mazzetti added new context yesterday: in 2017, MBS reportedly said he was prepared to use "a bullet" on Khashoggi.
In the Financial Times, Lindsey Hilsum, who wrote a biography of Marie Colvin, the Sunday Times war correspondent killed in Syria in 2012, reflects on her role in stoking Colvin's myth. "Since the biography was published, a stream of young women have told me, either in person or on Twitter, that they see Marie as a role model," Hilsum writes. Colvin's story, however, "is not just exemplary, but also cautionary… there was nothing glamorous about her suffering." A Private War, a movie about Colvin, just came out.
Spencer Dukoff is only 26 and has already been laid off from jobs at Slant, the New York Daily News, and Mic. "I had a front-row seat for the decision-making processes and warped priorities of publishers, who chase scale with abandon, pay gobs of money for traffic, and preach an ethos of independence while quietly maneuvering toward a lucrative exit for themselves following a merger or acquisition," he writes for CJR.
