El Paso man gets prison in Black Lives Matter video death threat (Karma…)

An El Paso trucker who posted a racist video online that threatened to kill Black Lives Matter protesters was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison, officials said.

Manuel Flores, 43, displayed an AR-15-style rifle in a YouTube video, saying he wanted to kill Black protesters.

“My dream is at least … take out at least 200 (N-word), (F-word) savages out,” Flores said in the video, according to a criminal complaint.

In the video, Flores allegedly said that he had “500 rounds” and would be traveling east on Interstate 20 through Dallas and dared Black Lives Matter activists to “stop him,” officials said.

Flores has been in custody since FBI agents arrested him while he was traveling through Dallas on June 15.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas said that Flores pleaded guilty in October to a federal charge of posting a threatening communication over the internet.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone of El Paso sentenced Flores to 21 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release.

Šafran – Saffron – Crocus

Myrela

Začin šafran poznat je od davnina. Koristio se još u Mesopotamiji prije 5000 godina. Šafran je simbol mudrosti i bogatstva, što materijalnog, što duhovnog. Na glasu je kao najskuplji začin na svijetu. Iako je najpoznatiji kao začin, koristi se i kao prirodna boja u prehrambenoj industriji, te u medicinske svrhe.

Ljekoviti dio šafrana su stigme koje sadrže brojne fitohemikalije kao što je krocin, pikrokrocin, likopen, karotenoide i alkaloide. Eterično ulje sadrži safranal koji djeluje smirujuće, ublažava bolove i grčeve. Šafran pomiješan u mlijeku može se koristiti kao oblog za umorne oči, te pomaže u liječenju upala, bolova, grčeva kod beba i sl. Može se koristiti za astmu i kašalj, podsticanje krvotoka, bolnu menstruaciju.

Šafran pomaže u usporavanju gubitka vida u starosti. Fitohemikalije u šafranu imaju nevjerovatan antioksidativni učinak na gene koji upravljaju vidom, štite fotoreceptore od oštećenja tako da mogu usporiti, a u nekim slučajevima i pospješiti ozdravljenje kod makularne…

Nous mourons tous pour le luxe (littéralement)! ? Partie 1 – les origines de Covid-19 en Europe

We all die for luxury (literally)! ? Part 1 – the origins of Covid-19 in Europe – (Covid-19 and mink industry)

Barbara Crane Navarro

Après des décennies de dénonciation de l’industrie frivole des «montres, bijoux et accessoires» en or, responsable de la destruction des forêts et de la dégradation de la vie des peuples autochtones, aggravée par la propagation du Covid-19 par les mineurs d’or, j’ai été stupéfaite en décembre 21, 2020 de lire «Les élevages de visons sont-ils la source de Covid en Europe? » – un article d’Yves Sciama et Yann Faure pour la revue française d’écologie en ligne Reporterre.

De toute évidence, l’industrie du luxe ne détruit plus seulement les hommes et la nature «ailleurs»; il est apparemment en train de détruire les gens et la nature partout !?

Voici leur article: “Les élevages de visons sont-ils la source du Covid en Europe?

Des analyses génétiques révèlent que les deux lignées du Sars-CoV-2 à l’origine des deux vagues épidémiques qui ont ravagé l’Europe sont nées tout près, voire au cœur…

The West Helped Cripple Uganda’s Democracy | Foreign Affairs

Uganda’s 2021 presidential election is shaping up to be as unfree and unfair as ever. As one of ten opposition candidates challenging Museveni, I have faced a relentless barrage of violence. Security forces have detained me on multiple occasions and brutalized my supporters. In mid-November, while I was being held behind bars on unspecified charges, my supporters took to the streets in protest. Security forces responded by murdering 54 demonstrators and bystanders, including at least one child.   Source: The West Helped Cripple Uganda’s Democracy | Foreign Affairs
