The coalition’s members are worried about election fraud, especially since voting will be spread out over three days (September 11–13). “It’s very expensive to organize monitoring,” Mastrakov mentions. Sergey Shestukhin has other worries: “Now [voters] often say: ‘And what will you change in the elections? Only the street can make a difference.”

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Nicholas Kristof’s column in the New York Times today speaks for itself … ‘We’re No. 28! And Dropping!’ A measure of social progress finds that the quality of life has dropped in America over the last decade, even as it has risen almost everywhere else. By Nicholas Kristof Opinion Columnist This should be a wake-up […]
I’m more in fear for my country now than I EVER was during 9/11. — The Chatty Introvert

Strange how I just realized the date’s tomorrow. 19 years ago. I remember telling some folks back when Dump was running for office that I’m far more afraid of my neighbors than any foreign terrorist. That goes double these days. Not my immediate neighbors, perhaps, but the area in general. I live deep in Dump […]

EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement in jeopardy — EUROPE DIPLOMATIC

Following the publication by the UK government of the draft “United Kingdom Internal Market Bill” on 9 September 2020, Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič called for an extraordinary meeting of the EU-UK Joint Committee to request the UK government to elaborate on its intentions and to respond to the EU’s serious concerns. A meeting took place today […]
EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement in jeopardy — EUROPE DIPLOMATIC
Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič stated that if the Bill were to be adopted, it would constitute an extremely serious violation of the Withdrawal Agreement and of international law.
If adopted as proposed, the draft bill would be in clear breach of substantive provisions of the Protocol: Article 5 (3) & (4) and Article 10 on custom legislation and State aid, including amongst other things, the direct effect of the Withdrawal Agreement (Article 4). In addition, the UK government would be in violation of the good faith obligation under the Withdrawal Agreement (Article 5) as the draft Bill jeopardises the attainment of the objectives of the Agreement.
The EU does not accept the argument that the aim of the draft Bill is to protect the Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement. In fact, it is of the view that it does the opposite.
Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič called on the UK government to withdraw these measures from the draft Bill in the shortest time possible and in any case by the end of the month. He stated that by putting forward this Bill, the UK has seriously damaged trust between the EU and the UK. It is now up to the UK government to re-establish that trust.
The Well #photography #haiku

dry existence
every day was hot summer
smiles at the well
Life can feel dry even when we have easy access to water. Jesus met a woman by a well. Though the woman had access to water, her soul was thirsty.
“Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst… a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.”
~John 4: 13 & 14
The well in Jesus’ village never runs dry…
In The Midst of … #9/11 #crisis #suffering – We Go Fish

We watched the screen as the second tower was hit. We knew it was not an accident — the Pentagon was already making a plan; that’s when I felt the shock wave ripple under me. The Bible tells us that suffering is inevitable. It’s what we do after we are a child soldier or a survivor of 9/11 that matters. I learned to love my neighbors no matter where they are…or what they have done. What will you learn or what have you learned from your time of crisis?

Colonialismo do século 21 – implementado por algumas ONGsCuja sobrevivência está em jogo aqui, Survival? A sobrevivência das florestas tropicais e dos povos indígenas ou da indústria de joias de ouro e diamantes de luxo? — Barbara Crane Navarro
21st century colonialism – implemented by some NGOsWhose survival is at stake here, Survival? The survival of tropical forests and indigenous peoples or the gold and luxury diamond jewelry industry?

Fui voluntário para a Survival France nos anos 90 e início dos anos 2000, quando voltei para a França depois de viver com os Yanomami na Venezuela e no Brasil e inicialmente pensei que a Survival fez a coisa certa. Passei muito tempo coletando assinaturas em petições da Survival defendendo os direitos dos povos indígenas […]
