  1. We have had too many popes issue hollow apologies, and people fall for their crocodile tears.

    1) Demand that the #Pope ask #Catholics to resign from all military posts.

    2) Demand that the #Vatican pay #reparations to all the people of the nations that the church looted, and which afforded it a pile of gold in a private city state in the middle of Rome.

  3. The utter silence from the British Press about this, it was "Royal News" yesterday

    Oh sure, there are the stories, but the algorithms were not showing this one if that cursed Windows News tab is anything to go by...

    Certainly, Imperial Japan committed many civilian atrocities, especially in Manchuria, Korea and China where the Rape of Nanking stands out as only one of the worst kind.

    There is no denying that war, whether fought for justice and freedom or for the growth of an empire or out of fear will bring out the worst (and, ironically, the best) in humanity. The human condition is such, I regret to say, that war is a pestilence that will be visited on us as for as long as we survive as a specie. And if our planet has any say in it at all, we are not long from extinction.

    So depressing…

  5. The Tinker Experiment was a UK government policy (1940-1980) that forcibly settled Scottish Gypsy Travellers into substandard housing. No electricity until 2010.

    Children taken from families. The Church of Scotland was complicit. In 2025, Scotland finally said sorry — but victims want reparations, not just words.

  6. AI is coming for the workforce, but NUPA builds a "Human Sanctuary". Through fixed cost arbitrage, it makes humans 70% cheaper than robots. The "10% Rule" forces firms to choose people for profit, not law. Reparations 2.0 settles the 1865 debt via this private asset engine at $0 taxpayer cost.

  9. Life 'cut short': #Peru's victims of #ForcedSterilization seek amends

    Story by Agence France-Presse, 2/12/2025

    LIMA — "Florentina Loayza was 19 and mother to an infant when she was sterilized by agents of the #PeruvianGovernment, against her will.

    "Decades later, the 46-year-old #IndigenousWoman is still fighting for an apology and #reparations along with thousands of others robbed of their fertility in a 1990s state campaign condemned by the United Nations.
    'My life was cut short,' Loayza told Agence France-Presse, recounting how her partner abandoned her over the procedure, which also left her with lasting pain.

    "'On the outside, we look fine, but inside we are withering,' she said of the estimated 270,000 women who, like her, were coerced, pressured or deceived into surgery to have their fallopian tubes tied.

    "Eighteen women died, according to official data, during the campaign that marked the final years of then-President #AlbertoFujimori's 1990-2000 rule.

    "His government said it had offered sterilization as part of a family planning project, but the UN women's rights committee said in a report last October the state had carried out a 'systematic and generalized attack against rural and #Indigenous women.'

    "It said the procedures were carried out without #InformedConsent from victims who were often poorly educated and did not understand Spanish, the language of officialdom in Peru.

    "'It's not something that was done in the cities... but in a specific (rural) area as a way of fighting poverty so that the poorest women didn't reproduce,' Leticia Bonifaz, who was a member of the UN committee, told AFP.

    "She said it was the biggest known case of forced sterilization in #LatinAmerica."

  10. Expropriation from the European Jews transfered properties billions worth. From then on, the grabbed money and wealth mostly followed laws of ownership and capitalism. Only in #Germany, they grew into companies and assets in the realm of between €300 billion and €1 trillion.

    In their book , Katharina and Zachary #Gallant write:
    "Hitler didn't produce Zyklon-B and profit off of its use in the murder of millions: Degesh, Degussa, Henkel, and IG Faben did. Hitler didn't rip the shares of major companies from their Jewish owners, … major German businesses did… And it wasn't Hitler who took over houses and properties that had belonged to Jews through Aryanization, it was everyday Germans, many of whose families still live in those homes today."

  11. A Vancouver Island First Nation whose people were the first to greet European explorers in the region almost 250 years ago is taking British Columbia to court, seeking title to their traditional territories and financial compensation.

    Chief Mike Maquinna, a descendent of #ChiefMaquinna who met British explorer Capt. James Cook in 1776, says the claim in #BCSupremeCourt seeks to return decision-making, resource and ecological stewardship to the #Mowachaht / #Muchalalaht First Nation.

    He says the province has been acting as the sole decision-making authority in the #GoldRiver / #Tahsis areas of northern #VancouverIsland especially with regards to the forest resource, without the consent of his nation.

    Hereditary Chief Jerry Jack says the claim filed today seeks title to about 66,000 hectares of land from #FriendlyCove to Tahsis in the north and #ButtleLake in the east, and an undisclosed amount of financial compensation.

  12. I'm a longtime supporter of #RAVENTrust & their dedicated work for #Indigenous #justice.

    "Supporting the assertion of the inherent and constitutionally-protected rights of Indigenous Peoples is a powerful pathway towards reconciliation and environmental justice. Working together we’ve raised millions of dollars to back some of the most groundbreaking legal challenges of our time.

    Our First Nation partners have halted mines, stopped pipelines, and created better laws.

    Take a stand for our common future. Join the RAVEN movement for Indigenous justice."

  13. This article from Dr. Anthony B Pinn is SO GOOD. "Is It Time to Talk About Reparations?
    Humanism Beyond Inclusion"

    " [M]aybe we are at a point in our humanist history when we need the challenge and guiding logic of an abolition humanist manifesto offering accountability that goes deeper than a commitment to inclusion expressed through a decontextualized rehearsal of humanist ethical values."

  14. CW: POLITICS Reparations and the 13th Amendment

    Today is the anniversary of the passage of the #13thAmendment, which nearly abolished #slavery. (It's *not* totally abolished -- check the text of the Amendment.) #abolishslavery

    Today is therefore a great day to remind everyone that #BrianSimpson is a brilliant comedian, and that he is on-target regarding #reparations, which are long, long overdue.

  15. #Histodons: Can you share links or other resources for the process of writing #microhistory? I'm working on a #Quaker #reparations #history project for my Meeting and and would like to begin sharing some of the stories using this approach. A Google search hasn't gotten me any truly helpful writing guides, yet. Any recommendations are truly appreciated.
