In lieu of 'Journalists', I've had Mastodon inform me of the Just Stop Oil / Landed Gentry connection which seems to be baffling us.
Roger Hallam owns a farm, he's one of them!

> Change wonât come through conventional politics but by circumventing it. We must create proximity directlyâthrough door-knocking and local assemblies organised around small group listening.
> This is the next political revolution. Iâm convinced that new movement parties could rise from zero to winning local and national elections in six months with these methods.

Chris Hedges: Burn the Planet & Lock Up the Dissidents

The imprisoned Roger Hallam believes that resistance is not, ultimately, about what we can or cannot achieve. It is about a “re-enchantment of the world,” he says. “It is about our spirit taking center stage.” By Chris Hedges in Norfolk,…

And how much economic damage is from climate change and pollution from #FossilFuels? #BigOil is the real criminal here!
#ClimateProtesters are taking action against Big Oil. UK courts are handing them prison terms akin to rapists and thieves
By Kara Fox, CNN
September 14, 2024
London CNN â "As #RightWing rioters attacked communities with #racist violence across parts of the UK last month, 22-year-old #ClimateActivist #CressieGethin sat in a prison cell.
"Her crime? Organizing a disruptive protest against new government-granted licenses to drill for oil â a planet-heating #FossilFuel â in the #NorthSea.
"In late July, a London court found #Gethin and four other members of the #JustStopOil activist group guilty of 'conspiring intentionally to cause a #PublicNuisance,' after recruiting protesters to climb structures along the M25 â a major ring road around London â bringing traffic to a standstill in parts over four days in November 2022.
"Prosecutors alleged that the protests, organized over a #ZoomCall, disrupted more than 700,000 drivers, caused economic damage of over ÂŁ760,000 ($980,000) and racked up ÂŁ1 million ($1.3m) in policing costs.
"Now Gethin and three others â Louise Lancaster, #DanielShaw and #LuciaWhittakerDeAbreu, who planned the disruption on the call â are serving four-year jail terms, while Just Stop Oil co-founder #RogerHallam was given five years. All are appealing.
"The sentences are believed to be the longest in the UKâs history for #nonviolent protest and were delivered under two new controversial laws that supercharged #policing powers to crack down on disruptive protests, even when they are peaceful.
"They place the act of planning a 'public nuisance' event, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, on a similar footing as #ViolentCrimes like robbery, for which punishments range from community service to 12 yearsâ jail, or rape, which is four to 19 years.
"The judge â who in court referred to the activists as '#extremists' â justified the long jail terms because all five activists had previously been convicted of one or more offenses in relation to direct action protest. Each were on bail for another set of proceedings when the Zoom call took place. He also noted people missed important doctorâs visits and funerals because of the protest.
"But activists like Gethin say their demonstrations are proportionate to the problem at hand â a rapidly warming world that threatens to transform life as we know it, through deadly #ExtremeWeather events and by pushing #ecosystems to their brinks. They are now battling the bolstered powers of the #police and courts to get their point across.
â'A very harsh sentence like this doesnât make sense morally or legally â but it does make sense politically,' Gethin told CNN in a handwritten letter from HMP Bronzefield, a womenâs prison just south of Londonâs Heathrow Airport.
"The laws have drawn criticism from the UNâs special rapporteur on #EnvironmentalDefenders, #MichaelForst, who said not only do they criminalize peaceful protest, but they are being enforced in 'punitive and repressive' ways."

The self-defeating narcissism of #JustStopOil.
"...People missed funerals and flights; children with special educational needs were delayed on the way to school without their medication; someone with an aggressive form of #Cancer missed an appointment... [Others] had to work extra hours for no extra pay..."
"...#RogerHallam... has lauded himself as the most influential environmentalist since #DavidAttenborough and compared himself to #MartinLutherKing..."
El post mĂĄs importante de hoy.
Roger Hallam @RogerHallamCS21 se va a prisiĂłn 5 años por dar una charla sobre desobediencia civil pacĂfica, despuĂ©s de sufrir un juicio sesgado y sin garantĂas. AsĂ continĂșa la represiĂłn de quienes alertan del peligro, asĂ muere la democracia....
I've just been sentenced to 5 years in prison.
The longest ever for nonviolent action.
The 'crime'?
Giving a talk on civil disobedience as an effective, evidence-based method for stopping the elite from putting enough carbon in the atmosphere to send us to extinction.
I have given hundreds of similar speeches encouraging nonviolent action and have never been arrested for it. This time I was an advisor to the M25 motorway disruption, recommending the action to go ahead to wake up the British public to so...

@Franker Mir wurde es erst die letzten Monate bewusst... darĂŒber gehört aufgeklĂ€rt!
Bei dem komischen Typen #RogerHallam von #LetzteGeneration/ #ExtinctionRebellion/ #JustStopOil wusste ich es schon lÀnger, dass er ein Antisemit ist, aber dass da #EndFossil/ #ErdeBrennt da mit drinnen hÀngt war mir echt neu!

Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil founder Roger Hallam absolutely nails it (pricks it?) on the power of and need for nonviolence.

Leider musste ich feststellen, dass bei der @AufstandLastGen beunruhigende und abschreckende ZustĂ€nde im Hintergrund herrschen. Klimaschutz ist fĂŒr mich das wichtigste Thema unserer Zeit, aber Grundwerte sind nicht verhandelbar.
