Opinion | Don’t scoff at the Hitler comparisons. Trump’s rhetoric is that bad. – The Washington Post

At a rally this past weekend in North Carolina, Trump declared that “a vote for Kamala Harris means 40 or 50 million more illegal aliens will invade across our borders, stealing your money, stealing your jobs, stealing your life.” Chillingly, he added that migrants were already “attacking villages and cities all throughout the Midwest.”

This followed earlier remarks in Arizona, in which he alleged that “young American girls” are “being raped and sodomized and murdered by savage criminal aliens.”

Vance has likewise baselessly accused Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, of not only butchering and eating people’s pets, but also of killing people. “Murders are up by 81 percent because of what Kamala Harris has allowed to happen in this small community,” Vance said on CNN.

The Clark County, Ohio, district attorney, a Republican, unequivocally refuted Vance’s claim, noting that local murder rates were higher under Trump. What’s more, across his 21 years in the prosecutor’s office, Daniel Driscoll said, “we have not had any murders involving the Haitian community — as either the victims or as the perpetrators of those murders.”

«Los mineros de oro están destruyendo nuestros ríos, nuestro bosque y nuestros niños. Nuestro aire ya no es limpio, nuestro juego está desapareciendo y nuestra gente llora y llora por agua limpia. Queremos vivir, queremos recuperar nuestra paz y nuestro territorio.» | Barbara Crane Navarro

«Mis abuelos pescaban en este río para alimentar a la comunidad. Ahora todo es contaminado por lodos, gasolina, diesel y mercurio. Los peces están muriendo y nuestra tierra Yanomami está muriendo.

Los Yanomami estamos sufriendo, no tenemos paz. Los mineros destruyen nuestras casas (Yanopë), destruyen nuestro bosque (Urihi), destruyen nuestra espiritualidad del chamán y los espíritus del bosque (Xapori y Ayakora).

Los mineros se llevaron todo, nuestra seguridad y nuestra salud.»

Dos niños Yanomami, de 7 y 5 años, se ahogaron mientras eran arrastrados bajo el agua por las potentes bombas de una barcaza de dragado utilizada para extraer oro ilegalmente en el río Parima en Roraima, Brasil. Los niños jugaban en el río a unos 300 metros de su pueblo natal.

Las familias Yanomami utilizan los ríos y arroyos cercanos a su casa comunal para beber agua, bañarse y cocinar. La invasión del territorio Yanomami por miles de mineros deja bosques devastados, ríos y peces envenenados por el mercurio tóxico utilizado en el proceso de extracción de oro. Las barcazas de dragado de minería de oro ilegal funcionan con gasoil, que contamina la atmósfera con humos y vapores inmundos.

El vicepresidente de la Asociación Yanomami Hutukara, Dario Kopenawa, dijo que más de 20.000 mineros están extrayendo ilegalmente oro en la tierra ancestral tierras donde viven 25.000 Yanomami, contaminando los ríos con el mercurio que se usa para separar el oro de la tierra, el barro y la arena. La comunidad le dijo que el dragado minero « sacude la tierra y el río », crea olas y contamina las aguas.

¡Esta locura debe terminar!

¡Ayúdanos a terminar este ciclo de deforestación y devastación!

¡El consumo de este producto innecesario y dañino para el medio ambiente alimentado por anuncios que intentan convencer a los ingenuos de que poseer oro da glamour o valor debe cesar!

El poder y la responsabilidad son nuestros, los consumidores.

Si compramos oro u otros productos de la deforestación, seremos cómplices.

Boicotear todos los productos resultantes de la deforestación; oro, aceite de palma, carne, soja, maderas exóticas, piedras preciosas, etc. !

¡Compre artículos de temporada de origen local que no se envíen a 3000 kilómetros de distancia!

Trump claims ”Ukraine is gone” and manipulates facts about war | Ukrainska Pravda (Me: Trump incapable of telling the truth about anything!)

US presidential candidate Donald Trump has delivered a speech about the state of affairs in Ukraine, in which he manipulated facts about the war, during a campaign event in North Carolina.

Source: Trump’s speech posted on Twitter (X), as reported by European Pravda

Details: Trump got the duration of Russia’s full-scale invasion wrong and significantly overestimated the death toll – something he has done previously, such as during his debate with Kamala Harris.

He claimed that after “three years of horrible fighting”, Ukraine is “absolutely obliterated” and that “millions and millions of people” are dead.

He also claimed that all its “thousand-year-old cities”, except Kyiv, have been destroyed.

Trump declared that most of the country is gone, and that Ukraine as a whole no longer exists: “Ukraine is gone… It’s not Ukraine anymore.”

He stated that it would take “hundreds of years” to rebuild Ukraine before adding that it would be difficult to rebuild the country at all: “There is not enough money to rebuild it, even if the whole world got together.”

He blamed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the bleak picture he painted, claiming they “won’t be satisfied until they send American kids over to Ukraine”.

“The moms and dads of America don’t want their kids fighting Ukraine and Russia, and we’re not going to have our soldiers die across the ocean,” he declared.

Trump insisted that even more lives would be lost and more cities would collapse if Kamala Harris won the election.
