NON au stratagème du « cadre temporel » – Une aberration !

Barbara Crane Navarro

«Le «cadre temporel» est un chemin de l’ennemi de la forêt contre mon peuple. Le délai pour moi signifie voler plus de la terre Yanomami. Volez plus de nos terres qui ont déjà été délimitées, ratifiées et enregistrées par le gouvernement brésilien.»

Porte-parole et chaman Yanomami Davi Kopenawa

Depuis le 22 août, plus de 6 000 autochtones de 176 nations autochtones se sont rassemblés devant la Cour suprême du Brésil à Brasilia pour exiger que les juges statuent en leur faveur et rejettent le «cadre temporel » de 1988, adoptée par le gouvernement Bolsonaro en 2016 et promue par les secteurs de l’agrobusiness, l’élevage de bétail, de l’exploitation forestière et de l’extraction de l’or.

L’appel juridique du peuple Xokleng de l’État de Santa Catarina, soutenant que le «cadre temporel» est une interprétation trop étroite des droits autochtones qui ne reconnaît que les terres occupées par les communautés indigènes au moment…

Mortuaries fill, hospitals clog in rural California towns – Los Angeles Times

In the state’s conservative northern reaches, health officials have battled against widespread distrust of the vaccines, skepticism about the virus and anger over mask mandates and lockdowns. The region’s dramatic spike in cases attributed to the highly contagious Delta variant mirrors what is happening across the country in states that supported President Trump, who acknowledged that he deliberately downplayed the danger of the coronavirus early last year. “We have spent too much time fighting each other and not fighting the virus,” McGuire said. “Unfortunately, politics has ruled the day. We need the public’s health to come first.” Perhaps nowhere in California is the disaster more acute than in Del Norte County in the remote northwest corner, where the redwood forest meets the sea. Cumulative coronavirus cases have more than doubled over the last three months, from 1,380 confirmed on May 10 to 2,805 on Friday. At least 70 cases were confirmed Thursday alone.

Jamaica’s public hospitals only accepting emergency cases

Petchary's Blog

Jamaica has reached its most difficult and stressful point as we do our best to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our hospitals are now over capacity – there are no more COVID-19 beds. Concerns about oxygen have now come to the fore. The Ministry of Health and Wellness issued this press release earlier today. It is frightening to read that around 1,000 patients in hospital now are either COVID-positive or suspected to be positive. It has all happened so quickly.

Jamaica’s health system is stretched to the limit.

Meanwhile, over 500,000 vaccine doses have been administered as of Thursday afternoon (August 26). Of that number, 359,675 were first doses and 139,242 were second jabs. The remainder were one-shot Johnson & Johnson doses. This is encouraging, but we still have a ways to go. We received a donation of 200,000 AstraZeneca vaccines from the Canadian Government this week. We also have the Pfizer…

LAPD employee who lost partner, widow of sergeant urge vaccination in LAPD video – Los Angeles Times

Even after her life partner and fellow Los Angeles Police Department employee Raymond Guerrero died of COVID-19, Debra Guerrero wasn’t quite sure about getting the vaccine. She’d had the virus, too, and been pretty sick, but wanted to see further testing of the vaccine before getting the jab. But her daughters, who had just lost their father, changed her mind. “Every time I would cough or get a cold my children would worry that I was going to get sick and die,” said Guerrero, a police service representative for the past 20 years. “When your daughter looks you in the face and tells you, ‘You’re the only parent I have left,’ it’s very gut-wrenching.” Guerrero said that now — eight months after Raymond Guerrero’s death in January — she encourages everyone in the department to get vaccinated.

Sirhan Sirhan has not been paroled despite nearly every headline you have seen today!

He has been recommended for parole. That recommendation now goes to the parole commission which can accept or reject the recommendation. If they accept the recommendation, the Governor can then reject or accept it, as he wishes.

Today has been a day for click bait by the whole internet and the media on Sirhan Sirhan as well as the sad news out of Afghanistan and out of Florida and Texas on young people getting Covid in high number and the possibility of more needless deaths because of mismanagement by some governors and school boards.

After negotiating with the Taliban, Trump officials criticize Biden for negotiating with the Taliban – The Washington Post

“We had an incredible agreement, they weren’t killing our soldiers,” Trump said Thursday, contrasting the lack of attacks on U.S. troops after his Taliban deal with the “tremendous danger” that he said American troops were facing under a Biden-negotiated security agreement with the Taliban.

Trump failed to mention that his agreement required significant U.S. concessions in return for Taliban cooperation, even as the Taliban continued to attack and kill Afghan forces after the deal was signed. The agreement also hinged, in part, on a May 1 withdrawal deadline for all U.S. forces, which Biden later extended.
