Congo is silently going through a silent genocide. Millions of people are being killed so that the western world can benefit from its natural resources.

More than 60% of the world's cobalt reserves are found in Congo, used in the production of smartphones.

Western countries are providing financial military aid to invade regions filled with reserves and in the process millions are getting killed and millions homeless.

Multinational mining companies are enslaving people especially children to mine.

La República Democrática del Congo vive un genocidio silencioso. Millones de personas están siendo asesinadas para que la parte occidental del mundo pueda beneficiarse de sus recursos naturales.

Más del 60% de las reservas mundiales de cobalto se encuentran en el Congo, y se utiliza en la producción de teléfonos inteligentes.

Los países occidentales están proporcionando asistencia financiera militar para invadir regiones llenas de reservas y en el proceso millones de personas mueren y millones se quedan sin hogar.

Las empresas mineras multinacionales están esclavizando a la gente, especialmente a los niños, para trabajar en las minas.

Greek Dark Age

The Greek Dark Age (c. 1200 to c. 800 BCE, overlapping with the Iron Age, c. 1200-550 BCE) is the modern-day term for the period in Greek history following the Bronze Age Collapse when the Mycenaean Civilization fell and the Linear B writing system was lost, giving the era the designation "dark" because no contemporary written accounts of it exist.

Historical proof that Manfred von Richthofen was thicc

So uh I feel like sharing this to the emptiness of the internet but a lot of people described MvR as “chubby” so ill just list those accounts here.

First of all, he himself said he is “as big as a barrel” after gaining some weight in the trenches.

Then apparently Wilhelm II called him chubby when they first met “Sie sehen so dick und munter aus” (You look so chubby and happy). Essentially he called him a heckin’ wholesome chonker. [Edit: Yes, in the text he is talking about a meeting with Ludendorff, however he compares his meeting with Ludendorff with his meeting with Wilhelm II.]

Third is that apparently a family friend saw this picture and said “Das ist aber ein Moppelchen” (Moppelchen ist kind of a cutesy word for a chubby person) And my source is “trust me bro” because someone I trust a lot told me lmao.

We have news to share - The Ministry of Justice has responded with a denial for Captain Kidd’s Royal Prerogative of Mercy application. 

This does NOT mean we are done here! Mr./Ms. E Peck was kind enough to provide an outline when cases like this typically are approved:

“Use of Royal Prerogative powers are subject to the common law duties of fairness and reason and to support effective administration. There are a number of longstanding conventions that I consider when reviewing an application. These are:  

it is impractical for the case to go to court, or all other judicial routes have been exhausted. 

new evidence has come to light which demonstrates conclusively that either no offence was committed or that the defendant did not commit the offence. 

taking into account all the circumstances in the grant of a full pardon, that the person was morally and technically innocent of the crime.”

With this in mind, the Pardon Captain Kidd movement can confidently state that new evidence HAS indeed come to light proving Captain Kidd did not commit piracy. 

Additionally, E Peck was helpful in providing their thoughts on this movement and suggestions of other revenues we can take:

“I have considered whether to recommend to the Secretary of State that he exercise his powers under section 16 of the Criminal Appeal Act 1995 to refer your application on behalf of Captain Kidd for an exercise of the RPM to the CCRC. However, I have not found a compelling reason to make such a recommendation and I am mindful of the Commission’s finite resources which in my view are better utilised in considering current cases rather than a case which concluded 300 years ago and where there appears to be no public interest in the Commission devoting its limited resource investigating it at the expense of current cases.” “Until the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) has been approached and made a finding on Captain Kidd’s case, the full range of judicial routes cannot be held to have been exhausted. It is convention that no recommendation of RPM will be made whilst there remains a judicial route available.”

This tells us that RPM does not consider this movement worth their time and resources. However, with both the Criminal Cases Review Commission and the Secretary of State mentioned, we think gathering more general interest and precise delivery of the new evidence for Captain Kidd’s innocence is still a hopeful revenue. Additionally, the Law Centres Network was recommended as an outlet to us as well.

SO WHAT’S NEXT? The Pardon Captain Kidd movement has more letters to submit - to the Secretary of State and to members of the Law Centres Network. Follow us here for more updates on this!

HOW CAN YOU HELP? We are once again requesting anyone interested in showing their backing and interest in this movement to please submit their full names for letters to these revenues. You can do so by filling out our contact form on our site here.

We also take donations that help us pay for supplies for physical letters and postage on our GoFundMe.

The Horrors of Lynching: Photographs and Postcards

Note to readers: This post contains graphic and disturbing images.

During the late 19th and early 20th century, thousands of photographs and postcards of Black Americans killed by white mobs in racist terror lynchings were collected, traded and sent through the U.S. postal service.

The postcards and photographs, depicting gruesome images of the bodies of Black men, women and children who had been tied to trees, mutilated, tortured, shot and burned alive by white mobs, were often distributed as souvenirs and saved as mementos in family albums and stored away in attics for safekeeping.

The lynching photographs often captured the bodies of the murdered Black Americans and the hundreds of white people — including children — who gathered to witness the public spectacle of lynchings. According to historians, in more than half of these photos and postcards, white people were shown smiling and celebrating the spectacles.

WHITE PEOPLE MONETIZED THE MURDER OF BLACK PEOPLE

Lynching photographs and postcards were shrewdly distributed — ​​often for profit — across communities by hand and through the U.S. mail. They were often sold for as little as a quarter, which would be worth about $3.46 today.

Los horrores de los linchamientos: fotografías y postales

Nota para los lectores: Esta publicación contiene imágenes gráficas e inquietantes.

Descripción de primera imagen: [Cinco afroamericanos fueron colgados de un cornejo en el condado de Sabine, Texas, en 1908 como "una advertencia para todos los negros".]

Traducción de la postal:

Esta es sólo la rama de un árbol de Cornejo;

Un emblema de la SUPREMACIA BLANCA.

Una lección que una vez se enseñó en la escuela de los Pioneros:

que esta es una tierra de GOBIERNO DEL HOMBRE BLANCO.

Una vez, temprano en la mañana, los blancos le dijeron al Hombre Rojo que enmendara su camino.

El negro, ahora, por gracia eterna, debe aprender a permanecer en el lugar del negro.

En el Soleado Sur, la Tierra de los Libres, que la SUPREMACÍA BLANCA sea para siempre.

Que esto sea una advertencia para todos los negros, o sufrirán el destino del árbol de Cornejo.

A finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX, se recopilaron, comercializaron y enviaron a través del servicio postal de Estados Unidos miles de fotografías y postales de estadounidenses negros asesinados por turbas blancas en linchamientos terroristas racistas.

Las postales y fotografías, que mostraban imágenes espantosas de los cuerpos de hombres, mujeres y niños negros que habían sido atados a árboles, mutilados, torturados, fusilados y quemados vivos por turbas blancas, a menudo se distribuían como souvenirs y se guardaban como recuerdos en álbumes familiares.

Las fotografías de los linchamientos a menudo capturaban los cuerpos de los estadounidenses negros asesinados y los cientos de personas blancas (incluyendo niños) que se reunían para presenciar el espectáculo público de los linchamientos. Según los historiadores, en más de la mitad de estas fotografías y postales, se mostraba a personas blancas sonriendo y celebrando los espectáculos.

LOS BLANCOS MONETIZARON EL ASESINATO DE LOS NEGROS

Se distribuyeron astutamente fotografías y postales de linchamientos (a menudo con fines de lucro) entre las comunidades, en mano y por correo postal. A menudo se vendían por tan solo veinticinco centavos, lo que hoy valdría unos 3.46 dólares.

Descripción de segunda imagen: [Una postal de un linchamiento en Duluth. 15 de Junio, 1920.]

Inca Civilization

The Inca civilization flourished in ancient Peru between c. 1400 and 1533 CE. The Inca Empire eventually extended across western South America from Quito in the north to Santiago in the south. It was the largest empire ever seen in the Americas and the largest in the world at that time.

Sapevate che Papa Clemente VII, durante il suo papato dal 1523 al 1534, si guadagnò il soprannome di 'Papa Sfortunato'? Durante il suo regno, il saccheggio di Roma del 1527 portò alla distruzione di gran parte della città e alla cattura del Papa stesso da parte delle truppe imperiali. Inoltre, Clemente VII fu anche il Papa che dovette affrontare la Riforma Protestante guidata da Martin Lutero. Nonostante queste avversità, Clemente VII riuscì comunque a portare avanti importanti riforme nella Chiesa e a promuovere l'arte e la cultura nella Città del Vaticano.
