I'm so fucking tired of the military death machine. Wonder whether this is what USAmerican people felt like in the sixties. That was also after twenty years of endless fucking war propaganda and imperialist warmongering propelled by the hypernationalist jingoism of the second world war. It never fucking ends.

Militarizing Barbie zine by Eva María Rey Pinto

Now that #Barbie is the focus of more of our conversations, it is worth remembering when the US military and Mattel created an alliance between 1989 and 2002 that #militarized Barbie. This 🧵 is a #zine part of my current #military #Barbie research.

Portland PR Against Accountability, Demilitarization & Reform

This should come as no surprise to those following the issues of policing & their public relations efforts.

However, this article completely misses any correlation in the rise in police public relations in response to Black Lives Matter, and calls for defunding & accountability of police forces.

“We do not typically use the term public relations.”

— Sgt. Kevin Allen, Portland Police Bureau Strategic Communications Unit

The assassination of Shinzo Abe, the former prime minister of Japan, on July 8 may have stirred some memories of the period of government by assassination in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. It was a time when a pandemic and a severe capitalist depression led to a reign of terror from ruling class reactionary groups – the rise of fascism.

I was just at the mall with my toddler and I realized that the Paw Patrol has vehicles in the later seasons including flying cars that shoot projectiles and a STEALTH JET for some reason. Does Mayor Humdinger start firing surface to air missiles at Sky after the seasons my son watches on Netflix?

*leans in*

Then I realized that the militarization of the Paw Patrol is driven by the need to sell ever more complex and expensive toys to small children.

*eyes get wider*

Then I realized that the militarization of the Paw Patrol is directly analogous to the militarization of our own emergency services which is itself driven by the need to sell ever more expensive toys to adult children.

Chinese Spy Base in Cuba

Spy Base

The Chinese have been operating a listing post in Cuba since at least 2019 or earlier.  According to International and Geopolitical Analyst Peter Zeilhan, Cuba is so important because it could potentially be used to blockade US trade from its geographical location on the Strait of Florida.  This would only be effective if something happened to the Mississippi River, the other major trading…

"Amnesty International has also uncovered evidence of widespread abuses. Rihanna Ferrera, an activist and member of the National Mechanism Against Torture, a body made up by government officials and independent organisations, told an Amnesty team they have seen an increasing number of cases of young men from marginalised areas being detained without any concrete evidence. She said the authorities are criminalising poverty.

Ferrera has documented cases of young men who are detained and then driven around to be beaten and abused before their arrests are even registered at the police station. She claimed this is a way of encouraging forced confessions, to show authorities are doing something to tackle crime.

The situation in prisons has also deteriorated, with the military police taking charge of the whole prison system in June. This move came after the eruption of violence between two gangs in a prison in Támara, near the capital Tegucigalpa, took the lives of 46 women.

But activists said that instead of working to make prisons safer, the authorities are punishing those held behind bars by withholding food and banning family visits, which for most are the only way to access basic products. Human rights organisations are also being prevented from entering prisons, which opens the door for more abuses to take place.

Activists who have tried to report the growing number human rights violations taking place during the state of exception have been harassed and subjected to smear campaigns or worse – have become targets of abuses themselves. It is not surprising many are scared to even speak up."
