From @TheBreach
While he was on the campaign trail, #PrimeMinister #MarkCarney said he’d stand up to Donald Trump.
Instead, he’s using the U.S. president’s trade war as an excuse for a rapid-fire #rightwing agenda that would make Stephen Harper blush.
The latest video from The Breach independent media breaks down how Carney has unleashed a pro-corporate, Trump-friendly blitz—embracing #BigOil and #militarism , #SocialCuts & crackdowns on #refugees.

after DECADES of #corruption (revolving door #private and #government in #USA but also #EU #Germany) people feel (rightfully) exploited and are looking for answers (the easy answers are usually NOT the right answers X-D)
"what? i am poor because private banks robbed my purchasing power?" is way more complicated than "foreigners out" and let's switch on #nuclearpower and #bigoil again X-D

#Indigenous Leader #NemonteNenquimo on Fight to Defend #Ecuador’s Ban on Future #Amazon #OilExtraction
via #DemocracyNow, November 29, 2024
"In Part 2 of our special broadcast, we look at a recent victory for Indigenous communities in Ecuador, where people overwhelmingly voted to approve a referendum last year banning future oil extraction in a biodiverse section of the Amazon’s Yasuní National Park — a historic referendum result that will protect Indigenous Yasuní land from development. But the newly elected president, Daniel Noboa, has said Ecuador is at war with gang violence and that the country is 'not in the same situation as two years ago.' Noboa has said oil from the Yasuní National Park could help fund that war against drug cartels. Environmental activists and Indigenous peoples say they’re concerned about his comments because their victory had been hailed as an example of how to use the democratic process to leave fossil fuels in the ground. 'Amazonian women are at the frontlines of defense,' says Nemonte Nenquimo, an award-winning Waorani leader in the Ecuadorian Amazon who co-founded Amazon Frontlines and the Ceibo Alliance. Her recent piece for The Guardian is headlined 'Ecuador’s president won’t give up on oil drilling in the Amazon. We plan to stop him — again.' Nemonte has just published her new memoir titled We Will Be Jaguars: A Memoir of My People. We also speak with her co-author and partner, Mitch Anderson, who is the founder and executive director of Amazon Frontlines and has long worked with Indigenous nations in the Amazon to defend their rights."

And how much economic damage is from climate change and pollution from #FossilFuels? #BigOil is the real criminal here!
#ClimateProtesters are taking action against Big Oil. UK courts are handing them prison terms akin to rapists and thieves
By Kara Fox, CNN
September 14, 2024London CNN — "As #RightWing rioters attacked communities with #racist violence across parts of the UK last month, 22-year-old #ClimateActivist #CressieGethin sat in a prison cell.
"Her crime? Organizing a disruptive protest against new government-granted licenses to drill for oil — a planet-heating #FossilFuel — in the #NorthSea.
"In late July, a London court found #Gethin and four other members of the #JustStopOil activist group guilty of 'conspiring intentionally to cause a #PublicNuisance,' after recruiting protesters to climb structures along the M25 — a major ring road around London — bringing traffic to a standstill in parts over four days in November 2022.
"Prosecutors alleged that the protests, organized over a #ZoomCall, disrupted more than 700,000 drivers, caused economic damage of over £760,000 ($980,000) and racked up £1 million ($1.3m) in policing costs.
"Now Gethin and three others — Louise Lancaster, #DanielShaw and #LuciaWhittakerDeAbreu, who planned the disruption on the call — are serving four-year jail terms, while Just Stop Oil co-founder #RogerHallam was given five years. All are appealing.
"The sentences are believed to be the longest in the UK’s history for #nonviolent protest and were delivered under two new controversial laws that supercharged #policing powers to crack down on disruptive protests, even when they are peaceful.
"They place the act of planning a 'public nuisance' event, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, on a similar footing as #ViolentCrimes like robbery, for which punishments range from community service to 12 years’ jail, or rape, which is four to 19 years.
"The judge — who in court referred to the activists as '#extremists' — justified the long jail terms because all five activists had previously been convicted of one or more offenses in relation to direct action protest. Each were on bail for another set of proceedings when the Zoom call took place. He also noted people missed important doctor’s visits and funerals because of the protest.
"But activists like Gethin say their demonstrations are proportionate to the problem at hand — a rapidly warming world that threatens to transform life as we know it, through deadly #ExtremeWeather events and by pushing #ecosystems to their brinks. They are now battling the bolstered powers of the #police and courts to get their point across.
“'A very harsh sentence like this doesn’t make sense morally or legally — but it does make sense politically,' Gethin told CNN in a handwritten letter from HMP Bronzefield, a women’s prison just south of London’s Heathrow Airport.
"The laws have drawn criticism from the UN’s special rapporteur on #EnvironmentalDefenders, #MichaelForst, who said not only do they criminalize peaceful protest, but they are being enforced in 'punitive and repressive' ways."

@chu Unfortunately that only hurts the #littlepeople and creates increased rates and #insurance #monopolies for #bigcorporations willing to take the gamble. These states should actually hold #bigcorp accountable through financial sanctions. This includes #bigoil #bigtech #bigdata #BigEnergy
But you know, the won't because #lobbyistslinepockets

@GreenFire
Directly, I see no legal method for a "forced royalty payments scheme."Indirectly, there is something that is pretty peculiar to the #US: private ownership.
Think of #Norway, e.g.: the state is the owner of the natural resources, administering its use for its citizens.
#BigOil has knowingly and willingly been causing the #ClimateCatastrophe. Make them fully liable for all ecological damage.

Charleston gets early win in climate change lawsuit vs. ‘Big Oil’
By Clare Fieseler [email protected]
Jul 8, 2023
"A federal judge has given the city of Charleston an early win in its climate change lawsuit against '#BigOil' by ruling the case will stay in #SouthCarolina, where the city wants the issue fought.
"U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel agreed on July 5 that Charleston’s bid seeking to make #FossilFuel companies pay for #climate damages could proceed in state court, where it was initially filed.
"City officials welcomed the decision, which some legal experts say creates a more favorable stage in arguing that the multiple #oil and #gas companies which have operated in the U.S. for decades knew of the #environmentally #hazardous affects of their products.
"'We agree wholeheartedly with him,' said Chloe Field, a city spokeswoman. 'It is time to move towards trial in the Court of Common Pleas where we filed this case nearly three years ago.'
"In 2020, the city of Charleston filed the lawsuit against two dozen major #oil and #pipeline companies, alleging their products and the spread of misinformation about #FossilFuels have caused #ClimateChange leading to repetitive and disastrous #flooding in the city.
"Nationwide, almost two dozen state and local governments are pursuing similar litigation against oil companies seeking climate-related damages. The only government in the South to file such a case is the city of Charleston."

Climate One: Law and #Oil: Taking #Climate Offenders to Court
Published July 17, 2023 at 9:05 AM EDT
Thursday, July 20, 2023"The last several years have seen a big increase in the number of lawsuits focused on the #ClimateCrisis. Some lawsuits challenge #governments for their support for fossil fuels and for their failure to take #ClimateAction, while other cases target the #FossilFuel companies themselves for knowingly misleading the world about the climate disrupting impacts of burning their products. Some of these cases seek monetary damages, others seek to hold governments accountable to their emissions reduction pledges. As more of these cases get their time in court, how powerful can litigation be in forcing action around the #ClimateEmergency."

#StevenDonziger: The man who stood up to an oil giant, and paid the price
Rex Weyler
26 February 2020"The link between #ecological protection and #HumanRights is evident in #Ecuador’s #Amazon basin, where massive #OilPollution has destroyed #forests and #farms and left some of the world’s poorest people with #BirthDefects and a #cancer epidemic. In 1993, Ecuador’s Frente de Defensa de la Amazonía (FDA), representing 30,000 victims of #Chevron’s toxic oil waste, asked Donziger to help them win compensation for what is likely the largest oil-related human disaster in history."

It is a start.
However, more revolutionary measures are needed.
Passing the fictitious +1.5 °C limit much sooner than we expected, we need a) the funds for decarbonizing society and b) no further detrimental opposition by #BigOil that literally buys politicians and has been lying about the #GreenHouse effect for decades:#NationalizeBigOil

Absolutely.
Not being a "communist", I have a very different, controlling-based idea: the old #PolluterPaysPrinciple.
