Court cases are starting to increase in Russia since the 'extremist' designation & bar raids in Moscow.

-a two million rubles fines for a movie being shown -jail time for rainbow frogs

you can follow the fucked up impacts of this legislation here. [goo]

The case of "demonstration of the symbols of an extremist organization" for the rainbow flag.

A Russian court has sentenced 33-year-old artist, Irina Mossina, to a fine for publishing a photo with a rainbow flag on the online service Instagram. The photographer had to pay 1,500 rubles [~15€ / 17$] because she posted "the symbol of an extremist organization," the non-governmental organization Pervyj Otdel and Russian media reported on Monday.

«El hombre vive bajo la ilusión de saber lo que quiere, cuando, en realidad, desea únicamente lo que se supone (socialmente) ha de desear. Para aceptar esta afirmación es menester darse cuenta de que saber lo que uno realmente quiere no es cosa tan fácil como algunos creen, sino que representa uno de los problemas más complejos que enfrentan al ser humano. Es una tarea que tratamos de eludir con todas nuestras fuerzas, aceptando fines ya hechos como si fueran frutos de nuestro propio querer. El hombre moderno está dispuesto a afrontar graves peligros para lograr los propósitos que se supone sean suyos, pero teme profundamente asumir el riesgo y la responsabilidad de forjarse sus propios fines. A menudo se considera la intensidad de la actividad como una prueba del carácter autodeterminado de la acción, pero ya sabemos que esa conducta bien podría ser menos espontánea que la de una persona hipnotizada o de un actor.»

Erich Fromm: El miedo a la libertad. Editorial Paidós, pág. 296. Buenos Aires, 1968.

If the penalty for committing a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.

Two far-right members of the House of Representatives were spotted blowing straight past a security checkpoint outside the House floor on Wednesday evening as they headed in to attend a surprise address to Congress from Ukraine’s president.

Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert were seen on the second floor of the Capitol building walking down a hallway outside of the House floor when they veered right towards the chamber. Before they were able to reach the door, two US Capitol Police officers in suits stopped the pair, addressing Mr. Gaetz by name, and informed them that they needed to go through a security screening before entering, gesturing to a nearby metal detector.

The Florida congressman was heard briefly questioning the officer’s direction, before turning away.

“Mr. Gaetz? Mr. Gaetz?!” the officer said as the pair breezed past them and entered the chamber without further incident.

The incident lasted only a few seconds. Neither Mr. Gaetz nor Ms. Boebert became verbally aggressive or insulting, but made clear that they were ignoring the two Capitol Police agents after getting an unsatisfactory reply.

While the two are members of Congress and therefore have permission to enter areas of Capitol Hill where visitors and members of the press are naturally restricted from accessing, all members of the House and Senate no matter their seniority must adhere to security guidelines put in place by the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms.

Violations of those rules are governed and punished by the House Ethics Committee, which is set to change into Republican hands in the coming days.

In the past, the panel has not hesitated to enforce security rules and punish members who violate them. In May of last year, Congresswoman Virginia Foxx of North Carolina was fined $5,000 for going through a checkpoint too quickly and refusing a proper screening in a similar manner.

Metal detectors and their related security procedures were put in place a week after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.

At the time, the House Ethics Committee was empowered to enforce the new procedure. Two other Republican members, Andrew Clyde of Georgia and Louie Gohmert of Texas, have also been fined for violating the rules.

The fines are deducted directly from their congressional salaries upon the committee’s ruling that the procedure has been violated, making dodging payment impossible.

As far-right conservatives aligned with the Trump wing of the GOP, the two are thought to be some of the most opposed to further aid to Ukraine, a key point of Mr. Zelensky’s speech to Congress tonight.

a Fine Lien.

Slave for time and love, just to throw it away.

Rinse and repeat until we revive someday.

My aesthetic is rad, but it sounds sorta sad.

I could say that I'm fine, but it'll look like I'm lying

Cain’t cover the fine, on a heart in lien.

In you, I once confide, now emotions are obscene.

It’s hell and hard to be complacent,

Knowing you already found a replacement.

To think, this was all planned out a year ago,

Feeling stupid because I though you were thorough.

Only choice is to pay the toll alone.

With you gone, this house ain’t no home.

Cain’t cover the fine, on a heart in lien.

Wax on the shine, just watch how you lean.

I remember there was time when,

I could just write a rhyme and-

Not have to worry about our love dyin’.

Bloodstained clarity, conflict diamonds.

Tragedies hidden behind something exquisite,

Not so easy to cover the price now is it?

Cain’t cover the fine, on a heart in lien.

Steady tryin’, got me withdrawin’ like a fiend.

If I could rewind time, then I’d reconsider your feels.

I would rewrap mine, and spare you from the pills.

If I could rewind time, then I’d bypass conflicts insignificant.

I would detail an outline, and nothing shall remain reticent.

Cain’t cover the fine, on a heart in lien.

Relationships shan’t stream, offline.

I wish we’d ride, again, eh a negus can dream.

Second Rate Britain 2

We all know about the millions of tonnes of raw sewage that is being dumped into our rivers and seas by the mainly foreign owned water companies -70% of England’s water companies are foreign owned.

In Malaysia 2020, two company directors of a construction company were arrested for "raw water pollution" and held in custody for seven days awaiting a verdict on whether to prosecute them or not.

“They are being investigated under Section 430 of the Penal Code for committing mischief causing a diminution of water supply for human and animal consumption, which provides for imprisonment for up to 30 years, a fine, or both, upon conviction." (Malaysia Now: 11.11/22)

In Kenya, it was reported that:

“Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NWSCO) acting managing director Nahason Muguna has been arrested over pollution of Nairobi River…. Muguna is said to have ignored the stoppage of raw sewerage discharge into the river by several actors, a situation that has led to adverse pollution of its waters.” (ke/opra.news: 2021)

June 27, 2022 saw the publication of a UK government paper titled “Sewage in water: a growing public health problem.” The paper laid the responsibility for deliberate water pollution in the UK firmly in the lap of water company directors.

“ ...the principal public health responsibility for ensuring human faeces and viable human faecal bacteria do not get into waterways people might use recreationally, rest squarely with the water companies and their directors." (gov.uk: 27/06/22)

Despite this warning nothing has changed. Here in Britain, we allow the discharge of raw sewage into our rivers and onto our beaches with virtual impunity for those responsible. Rather than arrest or personally fine those water company CEO’s who sanction the dumping of millions of tonnes of raw sewage into our water network, we reward them.

“Bonuses for water bosses in England up 20% last year despite sewage failures." (Guardian 19/08/22)

If Malaysia and Kenya can arrest company directors for polluting their national waterways then why cant second-rate Britain?

«El hombre, hasta ahora, se ha visto impedido de realizar sus esperanzas, por ignorancia de los medios. A medida que esta ignorancia desaparece, se capacita cada vez mejor para moldear su medio ambiente, su medio social y su propio ser según las formas que juzga mejores. Mientras sea sensato, este nuevo poder le será beneficioso. Pero si el hombre es necio, le será contraproducente. Por consiguiente, para que una civilización científica sea una buena civilización, es necesario que el aumento de conocimiento vaya acompañado de un aumento de sabiduría. Entiendo por sabiduría una concepción justa de los fines de la vida. Esto es algo que la ciencia por sí misma no proporciona. El aumento de la ciencia en sí mismo no es, por consiguiente, bastante para garantizar ningún progreso genuino, aunque suministre uno de los ingredientes que el progreso exige. »

Bertrand Russell: La perspectiva científica. Editorial Ariel, pág. 9. Barcelona, 1969.
