Call for Participation:
OPENCOIL workshop ๐Ÿ”‹๐Ÿ”‹๐Ÿ”‹

One user posting about the โ€œcivil warโ€ shortly after the search was Tyler Welsh Slaeker, a Washington man awaiting sentencing for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021

I hope they put this guy away for a long long time. He surely is dangerous to both the state and civil society.



One killed as blasts rock Russia base in annexed Crimea, no claim from Kyiv


reuters.com/world/europe/one-kโ€ฆ

Moscow could accuse Kyiv of crossing a red line if Ukraine were to acknowledge it had attacked territory that Russia sees as its own.

in reply to tom grzyb

Between a rock and a hard place. That's where "we" are. I'm sure the US and NATO are even being very cautious as to what kinds of weapons they are sending to Ukraine, so as to not cross certain lines. Remember how they failed to send them old MIGs?
in reply to tom grzyb

Yep. It's all being considered very carefully. I think maybe too carefully, but what do I know. ;-\

Pro-Israel PACs Are Subverting Open Debate and Free Elections

Why are US War Criminals Immune from Prosecution?


commondreams.org/views/2022/08โ€ฆ

in reply to tom grzyb

The ICCโ€™s most serious problem, however, is that 70 nations, including the worldโ€™s major military powers, have refused to become parties to the treaty. The governments of China, India, and Saudi Arabia never signed the Rome Statute. Although the governments of the United States, Russia, and Israel did sign it, they never ratified it. Subsequently, in fact, they withdrew their signatures.

There is no dark side of the moon, really.

in reply to tom grzyb

Even as he signed the treaty, President Bill Clinton cited โ€œconcerns about significant flawsโ€ in it, notably the inability to โ€œprotect US officials from unfounded charges.โ€ Thus, he did not submit the treaty to the Senate for ratification and recommended that his successor, George W. Bush, continue this policy โ€œuntil our fundamental concerns are satisfied.โ€ Bush, in turn, โ€œunsignedโ€ the treaty in 2002, pressured other governments into bilateral agreements that required them to refuse surrender of U.S. nationals to the ICC, and signed the American Servicemembers Protection Act (sometimes called the โ€œHague Invasion Actโ€) which authorized the use of military force to liberate any American being held by the ICC.

Sinema Received Over $500K From Private Equity Before Shielding That Industry From Tax Hikes


commondreams.org/news/2022/08/โ€ฆ

"Remember the days when taking half a million bucks from an industry, and then passing legislation that only benefits that industry, while passing the costs onto everyone else, would be called corruption?" asked one critic. "Today it's just lobbying as usual."

in reply to tom grzyb

The securities and investment sector as a whole has donated more than $2.2 million to Sinema since she was elected in 2017, according to OpenSecrets. Former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich quipped last week, amid reports of Sinema's plans to undermine her party's efforts to hike taxes on corporations and the wealthy, that Wall Street is "getting a huge return on their investment."

No joke. Not unless monkey business is funny.

the Michigan State Police and the attorney general's office have been investigating a series of voting machine breaches that took place in several counties around the state last year. According to the documents released Monday, that probe has led investigators to Kalamazoo-based lawyer Matthew DePerno

Open Source Seed Saving Workshop with Aimee Fenech


Saving seeds from the fruits of your current harvest for your plants in the next season is a thousands of years old key practice to grow plants and cultivate new breedings. Not to forget, it is actually the main technology that enabled humankind to finally stop nomadism and to settle down.

Still, many of us do not know how to save seeds and so we decided to offer an interactive online workshop presented by Aimee Fenech last year. This is the recording of our session back.

Thanks go out to Aimee for holding the session, to Bjรถrn for preparing the video and to the Center for the Cultivation of Technology for letting us record the session.

If you like the video/workshop, spread the word! Help others, saving their seeds!

I've long felt that Purdue was being used as a scapegoat for the opioid epidemic. The thing is, there are myriad sources of supply, both semi-legal and out-right criminal.
