On #ThisDayInHistory in 1952, a charismatic young man began preaching a vision of the end of #colonial rule in a marketplace in Kiruara, #Kenya. Hundreds gathered to hear him. Then British soldiers showed up and opened fire. The #KiruaraMassacre killed hundreds of unarmed people.

70 years ago #UK was conducting a brutal #colonial intervention in #Malaya.

#British forces herded hundreds of thousands of people into fortified camps, heavily bombed rural areas & resorted to extensive #propaganda to win the conflict.

#Wikipedia - Origin of the concept of a #SacrificeZone

"According to the United Nations Human Rights Council [#UNHRC], the term Sacrifice zone emerged in the #ColdWar period when #NuclearTesting, conducted by #colonial powers, such as the #UnitedStates, #France, the #UnitedKingdom, and the #SovietUnion transformed sections of land into #uninhabitable and highly #radioactive areas. Sacrifice zones can be defined as communities that experience dangerous levels of hazardous contamination and waste exposure. Sacrifice zones are linked to #racism, #oppression, #patriarchy, and #colonialism, as they are hubs of #pollution that disproportionately target and harm the physical and mental health of marginalized groups who face overlapping forms of #oppressions.

According to Helen Huntington Smith, the term was first used in the U.S. discussing the long-term effects of #StripMining #coal in the American West in the 1970s. The National Academy of Sciences/National Academy of Engineering Study Committee on the Potential for Rehabilitating Lands Surface Mined for Coal in the Western United States produced a 1973 report that introduced the term, finding:

In each zone the probability of rehabilitating an area depends upon the land use objectives, the characteristics of the site, the technology available, and the skill with which this technology is applied. At the extremes, if surface mined lands are declared national sacrifice areas, all ecological zones have a high probability of being successfully rehabilitated. If, however, complete restoration is the objective, rehabilitation in each zone has no probability of success.

Similarly in 1975, Genevieve Atwood wrote in Scientific American:

Surface mining without #reclamation removes the land forever from #productive use; such land can best be classified as a #NationalSacrifice area. With successful reclamation, however, surface mining can become just one of a series of land uses that merely interrupt a current use and then return the land to an equivalent potential productivity or an even higher one.

Huntington Smith wrote in 1975, "The Panel that issued the cautious and scholarly National Academy of Sciences report unwittingly touched off a verbal bombshell" with the phrase National Sacrifice Area; "The words exploded in the Western press overnight. Seized upon by a people who felt themselves being served up as 'national sacrifices', they became a watchword and a rallying cry." The term sparked public debate, including among #environmentalists and politicians such as future Colorado governor Richard Lamm.

The term continued to be used in the context of strip mining until at least 1999: '#WestVirginia has become an environmental sacrifice zone'."

What is pretty much the most despicable thing about today’s discussion is,
that racists are using the colonial proxy war in Sudan to relativize the genocide of Arabs and the indigenous people of Palestine.

We're fucked in BC. BC NDP government are fascist adjacent #neoliberals who are going ahead with more #CrimesAgainstHumanity when we need serious #ClimateAction & strong, #criminal consequences for #ecocide #polluters.

I'm not really surprised by this. It's pretty much the same sellout caucus as when top BC #colonial #capitalist crimes against humanity #BCNDP boss was running things(Rest in piss/shit Horgan💀). Since Eby was groomed & then kingmade by Horgan - this was bound to happen. More greasy ecocidal crimes will be happening while #BCNewDeathParty continues to greenwash & whitewash #CorporateGreed dirty deals 🤬 Supporters of BC NDP are complicit in their ongoing crimes against humanity 🏭👎💩

"Eby’s speech to convention delegates preceding the vote laid out his vision to make the province the “economic engine” of #Canada , to get “big things done” and to “build it together.” This included strong language supporting the labour movement, and followed a day of unions flexing their influence in convention debates. Dissenting voices from those seeking more #environmental protection were generally left on the losing side of debates, as the #NDP ’s focus on prioritizing the economy was clear in convention resolutions.

Despite some delegates calling the North Coast Transmission Line a “subsidy” for natural gas -fracking operations, a resolution to support it still passed. “I welcome the debate, I welcome the discussion,” Eby said. “It’s important to make sure we are addressing #climatechange and carbon #pollution. ” But overall, Eby received an enthusiastic reception and delegates were, for the most part, aligned with the government’s agenda."

#Colonial encounters in the 19th–20th centuries profoundly reshaped #Buddhism, leading to both suppression and revival. Reformers blended tradition with modernity, making #Buddhism a global, adaptable tradition. The 1893 Parliament of the World's Religions marked a turning point in its international presence. In this post, we explore these dynamics of that era in depth:

A colonização da #Palestina (igual que todas as colonizações anteriores) implica a destruição do povo indígena, e a desumanização da população indígena.

A autêntica #barbárie #colonial #sionista, não é mais que a forma atual da prática histórica do colonialismo.

@CatHerder

that's the way the centuries old #colonial westminster systems work and they still work that way...

#GenZ in #Madagascar toppled their government, with President Andry #Rajoelina fleeing the country and a new temporary government now in place. This peaceful transition is a unique opportunity for one of the poorest countries on earth to address its #corruption and #colonial past head-on.

And I forgot to shoutout for the mention of the Proclamation of #1763!

This was the real motivator for the successful 1776 revolution which ultimately led to the establishment of the #USA. The early corporatists would need to make treaties before colonising, which would cut deeply into the profitability of simply stealing.
