  2. Recorvia Episode 15

    There were very few lights on the lower level of the castle Mallory had broken into. He crept through the dungeon that had way too many easy entrances. He stopped. A terrifying cackling heard around the corner in a small chamber followed by a voice, “AHAHAHA!! Ooooh this is just so riveting!! My lovely lady, oh yes, bless my lady!” Mallory looked through a small peephole and froze, petrified. Inside, a woman lay strapped with leather to a flat stone. Her mouth had a gauze shoved into it […]

    #UnitedKingdom is escalating its #censorship & mass #surveillance

    When Mullvad tried to address this with #TV #ad “And Then?”, it was banned on British television

    Outdoor ad campaign meant to criticise the TV ban was also largely halted

  16. #PalestineAction saga shows #dystopian #doublethink now Labour policy

    It’s cliché to bring up #Orwell’s #1984 in reference to govts

    In latest twist of #Labour’s #proscription of #Palestine Action as a terror group, there is 1 concept it introduced that is more than fiction: doublethink is now UK Govt policy

    High Court ruled Home Secretary made “significant” error in proscribing Palestine Action; , The move is “disproportionate” & unlawful

    This could be the last meaningful chance to push back on 24/7 #facial recognition in #UK

  19. For 22,000 #Vietnamese & some #Cambodians, #CônSơn Island was literally the last stop on a journey that began with their arrest & incarceration on the mainland. Their crime? Resisting #ForeignInvaders du jour & fighting for their country’s independence & unification. In addition to execution, causes of death included disease & torture.

    The French built the Côn Đảo prison complex in 1861 to hold #PoliticalPrisoners and handed it over to the South Vietnamese government in 1954. It was a political Alcatraz on steroids, with #inhumane living conditions, barbaric torture methods, no escape and, for many, no survival. The US & its client state collaborators honed this hell on Earth to #dystopian perfection.

    Sáu was sent to 3 jails before being shipped to Côn Sơn Prison, because the French didn’t have the courage to carry out her death sentence on the mainland at a time when it was against #ColonialLaw to execute woman. She was the only female prisoner held by the French on Côn Sơn.

    Like other Vietnamese who died for the cause of independence, Sáu, a national heroine who is celebrated in theater & song, was elevated to the status of ancestral spirit. Every Vietnamese city & town has a street named after her, as are many schools. She embodies the spirit of millions of Vietnamese throughout history, including soldiers of the First & Second Indochina War, who sacrificed everything, their youth, their health, their love, their personal happiness, & their lives, so that Vietnam could become a unified, sovereign nation.

    “The lekima flower in full bloom, we are reminded of a heroine who died for future generations. The young lady so full of vitality fought against our enemies with firm spirit & even death could not force her to yield”. The song echoes in the mind of everybody who visits Hàng Dương cemetary in Côn Đảo district, Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu province. Vo Thi Sau, the #heroine mentioned in the song, was #executed by the #French #colonialists at the foot of Chua mountain in the early morning of January 23, 1952. 60 years later, her immortal patriotism & sacrifice still shine in the heart of every Vietnamese person, particularly those who live on #ConDao island, once called “hell on the earth”. (Ref: VOVWorld)

    The 20-hectare Hàng Dương cemetery holds the graves of more than 20,000 martyrs, including #revolutionary #martyr Lê Hồng Phong, patriot Nguyễn An Ninh & #hero Cao Văn Ngọc. Visitors are moved to see grave after grave, some named, some unnamed, stretching over the hill. Vo Thi Sau’s grave, set in gravel & soil shoveled by her fellow prisoners, lies in section B.

    Sister Sau was already a legend when the ship carrying her docked at Con Dao island in 1952. At the execution, she refused to be blindfolded, wanting to admire the motherland’s landscape & sing until her last breath. Many families on Con Dao island have set up altars to worship sister Sau, whose legend has become eternal in Vietnamese hearts.

    I had to go through
    Many.. Maaaaany setup screens, logins etc.

    Keep that in mind
    (This is my #first and #last #meta device.
    So #intrusive its #dystopian !)
