#Georgia published procurement data showing that the Ministry of Internal Affairs plans to renew existing licenses for #Cellebrite ’s mobile #forensic products, and purchase new ones, in a package worth $2.4M.

enables law enforcement to gain access and extract data from the phones…@amnesty_digital_de recently published evidence that Serbia deployed the technology against #journalists and #humanrightsactivists while…besieged by mass #protests.

So, assuming the #Ceasefire between #Israel and #Hamas holds (and that reparations are made to #Palestinian victims -- but don't hold your breath), what if all the folks who came out for #FreePalestine team up with #ClimateActivists and #HumanRightsActivists and #GBLTQ activists and #WomensRights activists and call for change -- while we still have the #RightToProtest. Not sure what the future holds, but all that #Project2025 and laws for #SilencingDissent are still hanging over our heads... (And not just in the #US...) (And yes, kudos to everyone who showed up in #WashingtonDC today -- you rock!)

This is probably why #JoeBiden WILL NOT pardon #LeonardPeltier. Instead he awards #HillaryClinton !!!👿

Hillary Clinton Awarded #MedalOfFreedom. Clinton Targeted #Mohawks and #Mapuche, Presidents #EvoMorales and #HugoChavez, with U.S. #Espionage.

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, January 6, 2025

WASHINGTON -- "President #Biden awarded Hillary Clinton with the Medal of Freedom on Saturday.

"Clinton, while serving as Secretary of State during the Obama administration, targeted Mohawks, Mapuche, and world leaders with U.S. espionage.

"The U.S. Embassies in Montreal and Toronto targeted Mohawks with surveillance at the border and in their communities in Canada. The U.S. used illegal wiretaps to track Mohawks and documented the actions of #AkwesasneMohawks at the border of New York and Canada.

"The U.S. surveillance is revealed in the U.S. State Department cables, exposed by #Wikileaks, during the time Clinton served as Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013. Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez was under heavy surveillance, as revealed in the cables.

"It was during this time of Clinton's espionage that delegations of the #AmericanIndianMovement, Mohawks, and #Indigenous #HumanRightsActivists were in #Venezuela in 2011. The solidarity and support resulted in free heating oil from Venezuela for #NativeAmericans in need.

"In this deadly web of the United States government's secrecy, the United States was part of a coalition to promote mining and fight against #IndigenousRights in Peru. A core group of diplomats -- from U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, Switzerland and South Africa -- formed an alliance with mining companies to promote and protect mining interests globally, the cables reveal.

"The U.S. led the coalition and fought the rights of #IndigenousPeoples near the border of #Peru and #Ecuador. Indigenous Peoples were being killed defending their land from #CopperMining in bloody battles with #MiningCompanies and the military.

"The U.S. State Department cables reveal that Clinton told U.S. Ambassadors to collect DNA and iris scans on leaders in #Africa and #Paraguay.

"Biden, however, claimed during the award ceremony at the White House on Saturday that Clinton carried out a 'sacred effort.'"

New lawsuit against the US by #protesters alleges negligence, battery in 2020 clashes in Oregon

AP, Dec. 20, 2023

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — "Protesters who were injured by federal law enforcement officers in Portland more than three years ago have filed a new lawsuit alleging negligence and battery.

"In July 2020, 'the federal government unleashed unprecedented and sustained violence and intimidation on the people of Portland,' the lawsuit states. Protesters after that filed lawsuits against the Trump administration, federal law enforcement agencies and individual officers, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported. Many of the lawsuits relied on a type of claim that the U.S. Supreme Court has since gutted.

"Tuesday’s lawsuit raises similar issues and involves the same injured protesters but was filed under a different federal legal theory, said David Sugerman, one of the attorneys involved.

"Thousands of protesters in Portland took to the streets in 2020 following the death of #GeorgeFloyd in Minneapolis, part of a wave of protests nationally. The protesters in Portland at times clashed with police, and militarized federal agents were deployed to the city to quell #RacialJustice protests as they wore on.

"A 2021 report by the U.S. #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity’s Office of Inspector General found agents lacked proper training or equipment to deal with riots and that there was no plan for operating without the help of local police, who were eventually ordered to stand down by the city. Agents also reported injuries.

"Tuesday’s lawsuit against the federal government is brought by three named protesters on behalf of 'at least 162 people,' the lawsuit states.

"One of the protesters, Nathaniel West, told Oregon Public Broadcasting he protested peacefully for more than 40 nights and was exposed to tear gas and shot at with pepper balls for doing so.

"'It’s about the next set of #activists, the next set of protesters that come along,' he said of the lawsuit. 'The #FirstAmendment right is something that we have to constantly work to preserve. … We’re really thinking about what it means to protest in #America.”

Um, my old conspiracy-watching self is getting the heebie-jeebies with this story. Are they planning on making room for #ClimateActivists and #HumanRightsActivists? Especially since standing up for #ClimateJustice and #HumanRights seems to be a crime these days.

Billion-dollar supersize prisons are slated to be built across the U.S. But do they help or hurt public safety?
