TODAY IN FICTION: A megacorporation rebrands to appropriate the resurgence of Native American culture in Shadowrun: Sixth World Almanac (🇺🇸2010)

5 May 2022

Following the reintroduction of magic back in 2011 during an event known as The Awakening, certain groups with a strong historical connection to magic suddenly found themselves with a disproportionate amount of power. One such group were the natives of Central America, who quickly became important players on the world stage. Amidst a resurgence of Aztec and other ancient American cultures, the Mexican capital city was restored to its pre-colonial name of Tenochtitlan.

Before The Awakening, the ORO Corporation got its start as a drug cartel operating in Mexico before becoming a technology company. In an effort to escape the negative history associated with its name, today it began a rebranding campaign, renaming itself “Aztechnology” and moving its headquarters to Tenochtitlan. The campaign is highly successful.

At around this same time, construction has begun on the Aztechnology Pyramid in Seattle, which will be completed in 2030.

One of Aztechnology’s most lucrative industries is the digital piracy market, which it exploits by lobbying the region’s nations into repealing their copyright laws. By 2072, Aztechnology will be the second largest corporation in the world, exerting its influence over the entirety of Central America.

Cultural appropriation happens a lot in Shadowrun. Thanks to the editors on the Shadowrun wiki for maintaining a comprehensive timeline of the game’s history.

Hay algunas personas realmente gruesas en los comentarios.

No es contra el pueblo chino sino contra el gobierno chino. Entonces, ¿por qué es ese el caso?

A los chinos y estadounidenses que preguntan esto, les diría que no es solo por la violación de los derechos humanos por parte de China, las disputas geopolíticas en Asia, sino principalmente porque el gobierno chino tiene problemas con los negocios en estos países.

Compra mucho en lugares como Grecia y los Balcanes occidentales y luego contrata solo a trabajadores chinos para explotarlos y asegurarse de que el país anfitrión no obtenga ganancias y permanezca endeudado con China para siempre.

Son desagradables con los negocios, a diferencia de la UE, no les importa nadie más que los suyos, por lo que apuñalarán por la espalda a cualquier país y apoyarán a países como Corea del Norte y el gobierno ruso.

China también es prácticamente dueña de África ahora también con sus negocios sin escrúpulos.

Los chinos son personas como cualquier otra persona, algunos buenos y otros malos, así que obviamente este mapa está hablando del gobierno.

Lo mismo puede decirse de América.

I blame Christian media specifically Adventures in Odyssey and Left Behind for sparking this interest in geopolitical events. In reality its potential was already there bc others read, listen to the same things and don't get this. A Name, Not a Number sparked my interest jn spy stuff and international intrigue. (And Darkness before Dawn saga built on that but wasn't that pure spy excitement that was {though i loved DBD equally in a way}, which burst on my 11 year old mind like a blazing firework leaving an indelible afterimage) The 1st Left Behind book fanned that spark at age 13, that thrill of discovering something secret and insidious to bring to light, ending in that shocking scene at the end of the book, in the high corridors of power, seeing behind the scenes of how the world worked, who pulled the strings etc.!

Which in turn partly inspired my long novel I wrote from age 13 to 18, immersing in that world, more thoroughly since I was creating it. Bringing it closer to my heart. Manipulating world events myself lol, creating a vast conspiracy that needed uncovering which my heroes worked towards though they were mostly out of their depth, needing a miracle in the end... yet still this story made me erroneously think I had a chance to enter that world. While at the same time I was withdrawing from the real world. (Who am I kidding I was never part of it) and making it less likely I could be effective in any way (if indeed that were ever possible, which I doubt, bc I've always been the same person)

And I still gravitate toward writing about world events in my stories, sagas that span worlds, galaxies, multiverses.... still with a close intimate perspective (sorts of stories I often like experiencing too if I can find the right ones)

Writing of things I can never experience while at the same time... longing and hoping lol

Genocide experts warn that India is about to genocide the Shompen people

Who are the Shompen?

The Shompen are an indigenous culture that lives in the Great Nicobar Island, which is nowadays owned by India. The Shompen and their ancestors are believed to have been living in this island for around 10,000 years. Like other tribes in the nearby islands, the Shompen are isolated from the rest of the world, as they chose to be left alone, with the exception of a few members who occasionally take part in exchanges with foreigners and go on quarantine before returning to their tribe. There are between 100 and 400 Shompen people, who are hunter-gatherers and nomadic agricultors and rely on their island's rainforest for survival.

Why is there risk of genocide?

India has announced a huge construction mega-project that will completely change the Great Nicobar Island to turn it into "the Hong Kong of India".

Nowadays, the island has 8,500 inhabitants, and over 95% of its surface is made up of national parks, protected forests and tribal reserve areas. Much of the island is covered by the Great Nicobar Biosphere Reserve, described by UNESCO as covering “unique and threatened tropical evergreen forest ecosystems. It is home to very rich ecosystems, including 650 species of angiosperms, ferns, gymnosperms, and bryophytes, among others. In terms of fauna, there are over 1800 species, some of which are endemic to this area. It has one of the best-preserved tropical rain forests in the world.”

The Indian project aims to destroy this natural environment to create an international shipping terminal with the capacity to handle 14.2 million TEUs (unit of cargo capacity), an international airport that will handle a peak hour traffic of 4,000 passengers and that will be used as a joint civilian-military airport under the control of the Indian Navy, a gas and solar power plant, a military base, an industrial park, and townships aimed at bringing in tourism, including commercial, industrial and residential zones as well as other tourism-related activities.

This project means the destruction of the island's pristine rainforests, as it involves cutting down over 852,000 trees and endangers the local fauna such as leatherback turtles, saltwater crocodiles, Nicobar crab-eating macaque and migratory birds. The erosion resulting from deforestation will be huge in this highly-seismic area. Experts also warn about the effects that this project will have on local flora and fauna as a result of pollution from the terminal project, coastal surface runoff, ballasts from ships, physical collisions with ships, coastal construction, oil spills, etc.

The indigenous people are not only affected because their environment and food source will be destroyed. On top of this, the demographic change will be a catastrophe for them. After the creation of this project, the Great Nicobar Island -which now has 8,500 inhabitants- will receive a population of 650,000 settlers. Remember that the Shompen and Nicobarese people who live on this island are isolated, which means they do not have an immune system that can resist outsider illnesses. Academics believe they could die of disease if they come in contact with outsiders (think of the arrival of Europeans to the Americas after Christopher Columbus and the way that common European illnesses were lethal for indigenous Americans with no immunization against them).

And on top of all of this, the project might destroy the environment and the indigenous people just to turn out to be useless and sooner or later be abandoned. The naturalist Uday Mondal explains that “after all the destruction, the financial viability of the project remains questionable as all the construction material will have to be shipped to this remote island and it will have to compete with already well-established ports.” However, this project is important to India because they want to use the island as a military and commercial post to stop China's expansion in the region, since the Nicobar islands are located on one of the world's busiest sea routes.

Last year, 70 former government officials and ambassadors wrote to the Indian president saying the project would “virtually destroy the unique ecology of this island and the habitat of vulnerable tribal groups”. India's response has been to say that the indigenous tribes will be relocated "if needed", but that doesn't solve the problem. As a spokesperson for human rights group Survival International said: “The Shompen are nomadic and have clearly defined territories. Four of their semi-permanent settlements are set to be directly devastated by the project, along with their southern hunting and foraging territories. The Shompen will undoubtedly try to move away from the area destroyed, but there will be little space for them to go. To avoid a genocide, this deadly mega-project must be scrapped.”

On 7 February 2024, 39 scholars from 13 countries published an open letter to the Indian president warning that “If the project goes ahead, even in a limited form, we believe it will be a death sentence for the Shompen, tantamount to the international crime of genocide.”

So apparently some Swiss company found out that Brazilian blood has more immunoglobulin (which is used in some medications made by pharma companies) than European blood, and now international pharma companies are lobbying to change Brazilian law to allow them to use our blood as a resource

There is no current evidence that those things are related, but it just so happens that at the same time there is also another law being discussed that would get rid of "bureaucracy" when it comes to ethics analyses of trials on humans. It would also remove the right, which all brazilians currently have, to access to the medication resulting from the trials they participated in

Both sources are in Portuguese because both news have been recently broke by a Brazilian investigative news agency, but if you don't speak it, you can always use automatic translation

I know there's a lot of fucked up shit happening in the world right now, but please pay attention to medical rights in Brasil right now. Especially if you're European, because virtually every company related to this is from your continent and plans to benefit you above all

ETA: using blood as a resource for these medications is not new; however, current law in brasil only allows that use to come from donated blood (because it comes from the plasma and apparently not all of it is used in blood transfusion; I'm not a doctor so I'm not clear on the details but that's the gist of it) and to be processed and used by Hemobrás, the State-owned company that handles this type of medical technology. The new law would allow for private companies to buy our blood from blood banks for their use. It is worth noting that at least one company has already explicitly stated that they won't be making the resulting medication available in the Brazilian market, so, essentially, they will be taking blood Brazilians donated to help other Brazilians and using it to treat immunocompromised Europeans, to the detriment of immunocompromised Brazilians that need the medicine. In the process, they will be making it harder for our State-owned company to use that same blood, forcing us to import from them and therefore making the medication more expensive. They also want to make it possible for Brazilians to sell their own blood - a deeply ethically questionable practice that is discouraged by the WHO and that has led to HIV outbreaks in Brasil in the past

Israel Zionists seems like collection of sinners

1. Pedophiles (you can google yourself how Israel trying to legalize pedophilia and 60% sex offenders there had sexually offended under 13 years old)

2. Murderers (IOF, Government)

3. Manipulator Self Centric (IOF, Government)

4. Wrath in Racism (like how citizens shouting kill them all, saying death to Arabs, etc)

5. Lust (IOF raping women in Palestine)

6. Greed (Israel Govt keep wanting more and more lands)

Yeah all of them who done this are definitely sinners, I hope they die in vain in most humiliating way and they won't be forgiven.
