5 family dynasties signed half the treaties acquiring indigenous lands in Turtle Island, for the United State of America.
The counter revolution of 1776 was not about high ideals but a means for the few white landowners to continue making profit off of African bodies and stolen indigenous lands, according to these scholars of black and indigenous history.https://penandmachete.substack.com/p/250-years-of-counterrevolution-new?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=e75j0

UK Rejects Jamaica’s Historic Demand for Reparations for Slavery – Orinoco Tribune
https://orinocotribune.com/uk-rejects-jamaicas-historic-demand-for-reparations-for-slavery/ -
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) Demand that the #Catholic #Church compensate all the children their priests abused.
4) Demand that the pope stop condemning #LGBTQ folks.
5) #FreeLuigi

@palestinenews“The actress and social media influencer Jameela Jamil recently aroused the wrath of British Empire nostalgists and apologists following her appearance on an alternative media podcast. Jameela riled the apologists for two reasons. Firstly, for claiming that Brexit ‘paved the way’ for President Donald Trump’s electoral successes and secondly for stating that ‘British people are truly the most evil people in history’”

Here's a gift link about the Harvard Reparations Project. Unsurprisingly commentors are against reparations and their arguments are weak. "Why should we be accountable for things done centuries ago?" But it's not centuries ago. Stop prejudice. Stop redlining. Stop lynching. Stop all the things you do to hold black and brown people down. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/25/metro/harvard-identifies-descendants-slavery-massachusetts/?s_campaign=8315:varf

Slavery reparations: Why Ghana is leading the demand for compensation
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy0j2r15dr1o"He also wants individual institutions that benefited from the slave trade to be held accountable and pay compensation. Among these is the Church of England.
In the 18th Century, the Church's missionary wing ran plantations and owned hundreds of slaves, which helped fund its work across the Americas and beyond."

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…

From Genocide to Justice: Iraq’s Reparations for Yazidi Survivors
-
The #Takanawa #Catholic #Church just called the police on me. The police were very nice and understanding and let me go after a brief talk.
I have been seeking #Justice after being assaulted by the guards at Hope Services ( a catholic charity), in #Kona #Hawaii . Several other #homeless people had confided in me that they were being abused, but did not dare speak out, for fear of further violence. Also, they depend upon the charity for food.
I approached the catholic leaders politely in Kona, and they did not take responsibility. Then I moved to #Tokyo seeking political asylum.
I approached Mr. Takaii, a priest at the #Meguro Catholic Church, and asked for answers concerning the abuse. Mr. Takaii told me that he did not speak any English, though we had been talking in English for a few days, and he speaks English fluently.
After persistently and politely raising questions with the Takanawa church, I kept being stonewalled. I still have questions about why they cannot feed me 3 meals a day, turning me away hungry, though they just held a fundraiser for #hungry people in the Philippines. The priest, Mr. Noguchi harshly told me to go back to America.
Just now, I returned to Takanawa church from the police station, and Mr. Noguchi handed me a letter from Mr. Wataru Suematsu, the parish leader, banning me from church, and threatening police action.
I intend to get justice for me, and for other people the Catholic Church continues to abuse.
The Catholic Church is doing something shady with the money, as it is a lavishly constructed church, with a big attendance on weekends, and collects a lot of money.
The Catholic Church is an organization by and for, old white men. They will always elect an old white man as #pope ( now available in American flavor ). A 39 year old Japanese woman will never be pope.
The organization was funded by loot from #colonial #genocide, which it continues to hold on to, and continue as a big mind-manipulating business. Even as pope after pope apologizes for the atrocities of the church, the abuses continue.
Pope Leo has called for #peace though he has not yet asked his followers to resign from the #military which would be a real follow through.
People of the world, from countries that the church looted and impoverished, are rising up and demanding #reparations
There’s so much blood on the hands of the church, that the pope’s crocodile tears are not enough to wash them away. Empty words are not enough. People demand to be made whole.
Please boost this message, to hold the church accountable.

A Day for the World to Say Sorry
From Australia’s National Sorry Day Toward an International Day of Truth, Repentance, and Repair
A PeaceGrooves Reflection
There are words so overused that they risk becoming weightless. Sorry is one of them. We say it when we bump into someone in a hallway, when we answer an email too late, when we make an insignificant mistake. Yet there are times when sorry is not small at all. There are wounds so deep, so deliberately inflicted, and so long denied that the speaking of sorrow becomes an act of public truth.
Australia’s National Sorry Day, observed each year on May 26, is such a day. It remembers the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families, communities, languages, and cultures under government policies now associated with the Stolen Generations. The date marks the anniversary of the 1997 tabling of the Bringing Them Home report, the landmark national inquiry that gathered testimony from survivors and documented the devastation caused by these removals. The report called not only for recognition of what had happened, but for apology, healing, reparations, family reunion, access to records, and measures ensuring such violations would never recur.
National Sorry Day did not begin as a sentimental holiday….

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."

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."mock-up: https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/hitlers-nazis-and-how-germany-became-good-again/ 🧶

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.

"In the mid-1800s, the most prolific slaver in Brazil was a man named José Bernardino de Sá. The transatlantic slave trade was banned in Brazil and abroad, but Bernardino nonetheless financed the trafficking of nearly 20,000 Africans to Brazil — and became one of the country’s wealthiest people.
He used that wealth to buy farms, build roads — and, historians say, fund the Banco do Brasil. It’s just one of several links that ties this country’s oldest and most prominent bank to the slave trade. Not only was its initial capital drawn from slavery, historians say; its original vice president and director were also notorious slavers."
