Listen to the voice of hunger striker Kamran Ahmed.

This is a dark time in the UK. The government, a Labour government, is persecuting these individuals to likely death, gaslighting us as to their intentions.

He is physically weak,
But his spirit is strong.

When someone uses the word,
“illegals” | am done listening to
what they have to say. live in
America, a nation stolen from
the indigenous natives, built on
the backs of slaves, & made
prosperous by the sweat, &
blood of immigrants. "Give me
your tired, your poor, your
huddled masses yearning to
breathe free.” My country is not
white. It's not Christian. It's
American. It's made up of
people from around the globe.
Humans aren't illegal. But your
dehumanization, &
demonization should be.

#OnThisDay, 11 Dec 1983, tens of thousands of women take part in 'reflect the base' at Greenham Common in the UK.

They encircle the 9 mile perimeter fence of the nuclear missile base, tearing it down in at least one place. Hundreds of women are arrested.

The Peace Camp at Greenham ran for nearly 20 years, and founded and run by women.

A black and white photo of some woods in winter. A long chainlink fence, topped with barbed wire, stretches from the rightmost corner to the horizon, following dips and hollows in the land. Along its entire length, as far as the eye can see, women are standing along the fence.

From Falkirk to Aberdeen, Dundee to Inverness. Far right groups are attending anti-asylum protests across Scotland.

We spent three months investigating. People doxxed, attacked, threatened. And communities standing firm.

Our first monthly long read.

The "Energy Transition Zone" must be stopped, St Fittick's Park must be protected.

Let's prepare together to take direct action.

This should not surprise anyone, as the "Energy Transition Zone" is backed by "Sir" Ian Wood, an oil and gas billionaire who is keen on keeping his profits rolling. (4/5)

#aberdeen #climate #climatechange #activism

Who is Ian Wood?

“Sir” Ian Wood is best known for being an oil and gas buisnessman and shaping said industry in Scotland. He has a net worth of around 1.7 billion.  That's 1,700,000,000 pounds from exploiting the planet.

He has political influence over Aberdeen as well as political influence over Westminster. Ian was involved in the Aberdeen City Region Deal, via Opportunity North East (ONE). ONE was heavily involved in developing the economic strategy of the deal.  The city region deal influences the policy for Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, and exists to promote “regional growth”. The Aberdeen city deal has heavy emphasis on a new oil and gas technology center. In other words, he uses his dirty money to influence policy, so he can keep making profits at Torry’s expense.

In truth, the "Energy Transition Zone" is a massive greenwashing scam that does not address climate breakdown, but puts forth false solutions designed to keep fossil fuel extraction going. (3/5)

#aberdeen #climate #climatechange #activism

Why doesn’t this help the climate emergency?

Hydrogen production, that Ian Wood indicated would be part of the ETZ, often actually has a huge carbon footprint. Over 95% of hydrogen is produced by steam methane reforming process. This creates a large amount of carbon dioxide, 9.3kg of CO2 for every 1kg of Hydrogen produced.  In other words,  “clean” hydrogen is corporate greenwashing. 

One of the other stated uses of the  zone was carbon capture and storage. Carbon capture  and storage is often inefficient and unable to be implemented at a larger scale. The majority of carbon is often not “captured” and a lot of eletricity is required for this process. Still, oil companies use it as a “sustainable” solution to their emissions.
 
Finally, and crucially for the community of Torry, the ETZ would build over their local, biodiverse green space.  The park contains restored wetlands, a habitat vital for many species, that would be substantially lost and damaged. This means not only is the ETZ a renewable energy lie, but it is ruining precious habitat.

What is the "Energy Transition Zone" that threatens to destroy valuable biodiverse land and the last green space of Torry, a working class community neglected for years? (2/5)

A contractor has now set up to start the demolition of St Fitticks Park. All for a so-called "Energy Transition Zone" that is nothing but a cover for an oil billionaire to expand his fossil investments. (1/5)
