When the savages of Louisiana want some fruit, they cut down the tree at the base and gather the fruit. That is how a despotic government works.
[Quand les sauvages de la Louisiane veulent avoir du fruit, ils coupent l’arbre au pied, & cueillent le fruit. Voilà le gouvernement despotique.]Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) French political philosopher

#Syrie : #patrimoine historique en péril entre guerre, #pillage et réappropriation
https://theconversation.com/syrie-patrimoine-historique-en-peril-entre-guerre-pillage-et-reappropriation-263307
Selon les estimations du Musée national de #Damas, plus d’un million d’objets archéologiques, de typologies et de provenances variées, auraient été extraits illégalement du territoire syrien DEPIOS 10 ANS. Une hémorragie patrimoniale sans précédent dans l’histoire contemporaine du #ProcheOrient surpassant par son intensité et sa durée, les vagues de pillages observées en Irak après 2003. -
CW: Unarmada for Gaza: Long bars, extreme content
part of an immanent enormous #saga
#fisherwomen row on; launch the largest
fleet of thousands in barge or barcus
in tar skiffs reading #Darcus and #Marcus
a new #Dunkirk ; acts worthy of #Argus
filled to beyond the brim like my #Tardis
global #hawala – to dream is harmless
to lift the hearts cos we partly #stardust
not one weapon or piece of armour
above all, do zero harm: nada
hordes of #orcas escort and guard us
friends to port, fore, aft and starboard
from #Portugal , #Espagna , #Deutschland, the #Irish
if they won’t lease #flags then I guess we’re #pirates
#Lebanon, #Kosovo , #Tunisia , #Malta
#Turkiye , #Morocco , #Corsica, #Gibraltar
the #umma , #psalter and #altar on #prana
a #KumbhMela from #Kos and #Kerala
from #Cuba , #Bahamas , #Malaysia , #Ghana
#Somalia , #Suriname & #Botswana
#SriLanka , #Qatar, #Nepal & #Java
departing from each unbecalmed plaza
I won’t lie; they might turn some to carcass
I daresay some are hard to harm us
but if they bombard less than half of us
they marmalade toast and Gaza shan’t be #Tartarus
we can’t countenance being part of this artifice
our heart charges us with love in our arteries
so fear not the #armaments , the baying barbarous
the slyness of charlatans & the #SilenceOfParliaments
the spineless darlings that cover their arses up
forgotten yo #Socrates ? their very #PowerCorrupts
half are dumb, half are dicks, most are like “ah, fuck it”
#unserious #ParlourTricks from #colonising #arsonists
#Palestine is #OurVillage - can we show some cartilage?
all of this #pillage done in our name, #OurImage
calmly assemble; let’s meet at the #parsonage
those with #TooManyScars stay and try and #fubar #TheRich
#alone we’re just #particles with easy to break clavicles
snippy pithy #articles the best in our #arsenal
as a wave we a #radical #miracle that’s #unguardable ,
all as one like #Dumas’ ‘keteers, literal #decarceral
let’s be #deliverance and make it marvellous
we all still slaves if their chains on one arm of us
to the land of #FishersOfMen and #Carpenters
we’re all #Madleen like they say “I am #Spartacus ”
not move one half an inch before a full #armistice
before #religion , #god and #human : #GazaLives -

La petite boîte devant Biocoop est souvent en piteux état.
Je m'étonne toujours de la constance des rafistoleurs.
Aujourd'hui il y a un avertissement désabusé. -

‘Minds were blown’: These scientists were stunned at what’s happening on the NSW North Coast
“This means Forestry Corporation NSW plans to log three times more compartments of state forest within the proposed Great Koala National Park over the next year than they did over the last two years combined"
“It is spectacular. All the variants of this Gondwana rainforest – cool and warm, temperate rainforest and also the subtropical rainforest – is something that is so unique globally that you wouldn’t find it in this particular combination elsewhere... Professor Helge Bruelheide, professor of botany at the University of Helle in Germany, was stunned by what he has seen exploring the forests in and around the promised Great Koala National Park on the state’s North Coast this week."
“The tempo, the scale, the intensity of logging has all ramped up since labour was elected. It is a pillage. It’s a smash-and-grab operation by a loss-making Crown corporation. They are jamming boiled lollies in their mouth as they bolt down the street,” say Graham, who feels let down by Labor."
"One of the reasons the Victorian industry was eventually closed was because citizen scientists proved the state loggers were not properly protecting greater gliders. The failures cost VicForests millions of dollars in fines and access to forests it needed."
"As the legal challenges wind their way through the courts, the NCC is about to ramp up the pressure by announcing the creation of Breachwatch, a network of volunteers trained and equipped to monitor, record and report evidence of Forestry Corp breaches."
