#jubilee — Public Fediverse posts

Hey, uh... I'm already a bit entrenched in this subject, but something happened that makes me want to expand the offerings. Does anyone know of #liberal #catholic creators? Can be other #Christian too (#episcopal, #anglican #congregational #UnitarianUniversalist, #quaker are some other denoms I respect). I guess #EmilyWilson had said she doesn't care about immigrants or sex offense victims in a #Jubilee video, and I'm feeling betrayed and need to fill the void.

We kept the Juneteenth flag flying all weekend. One day is not long enough to celebrate a holiday. #juneteenth #celebrate #history #holiday #celebration #liberation #freedom #freedomforall #murica #patriotic #patriotism #patriots #flags #celebratory #blackhistory #freedom #freedomday #jubilee #jubileeday #emancipation #emancipationday #civilrights #equality #yucca #yuccas #june #summer #summerholiday #summerholidays

The article where I learned the key concepts capital flight and odious debt, in 1998!!

.> The Latin American debt that reached crisis levels from 1982 would have been sharply reduced by return of flight capital — in some cases, overcome, though all figures are dubious for these secret and often illegal operations. The World Bank estimated that Venezuela’s flight capital exceeded its foreign debt by 40% in 1987....
.> A recent Council on Foreign Relations study points out that “defaults on foreign bonds by U.S. railroads in the 1890s were on the same scale as current developing country debt problems.” Britain, France and Italy defaulted on U.S. debts in the 1930s: Washington “forgave (or forgot),” the Wall Street Journal reports. After World War II, there was massive flow of capital from Europe to the United States. Cooperative controls could have kept the funds at home for postwar reconstruction, but policy makers preferred to have wealthy Europeans send their capital to New York banks, with the costs of reconstruction transferred to U.S. taxpayers....
.> When the U.S. took over Cuba 100 years ago it cancelled Cuba’s debt to Spain on the grounds that the burden was “imposed upon the people of Cuba without their consent and by force of arms.” Such debts were later called “odious debt” by legal scholarship, “not an obligation for the nation” but the “debt of the power that has incurred it,” while the creditors who “have committed a hostile act with regard to the people” can expect no payment from the victims. Rejecting a British challenge to Costa Rican laws cancelling the debt of the former dictator to the Royal Bank of Canada, the arbitrator — U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Howard Taft — concluded that the Bank lent the money for no “legitimate use,” so its claim for payment “must fail.” The logic extends readily to much of today’s debt: “odious debt” with no legal or moral standing, imposed upon people without their consent, often serving to repress them and enrich their masters.
