La realidad que hemos estado evitando sigue aquí, pero ahora he centrado mi mente en diseccionarla. El resultado es mi nuevo libro, “Suicidio: Las implicaciones políticas y jurídicas de crear muertes masivas sin fin”💀🔥que se publicará el 28 de enero.

Este libro fue escrito desde una celda de la prisión y presenta un prólogo de uno de mis visitantes, el ganador del Premio Pulitzer Chris Hedges.

En julio de 2024, fui arrastrado de una sala de audiencias británica por negarme a guardar silencio sobre la crisis climática. Por conspiración para causar una molestia pública, fui sentenciado a cinco años de prisión, la sentencia más dura jamás dictada en el Reino Unido por desobediencia civil no violenta. El caso fue noticia y provocó la condena internacional.

Este libro es, en parte, una respuesta a ese momento.

En parte memorias convencionales, en parte manifiesto, es un intento de pensar clara y honestamente sobre lo que significa cuando una sociedad crea a sabiendas la muerte en masa, y luego utiliza sus sistemas legales y políticos para castigar a aquellos que dicen la verdad al respecto.

Basándose en casos judiciales, ciencia del clima, teoría política y experiencia vivida dentro del sistema legal británico, el libro examina los fracasos morales y legales de una sociedad que camina sonámbulo en una catástrofe. Se pregunta qué sucede cuando la “ley y el orden” se convierten en herramientas para la negación, y cuando la justicia se vuelve contra aquellos que intentan prevenir el daño.

En la era del colapso climático, decir la verdad ha sido cada vez más tratado como un acto criminal. Este libro analiza directamente esta realidad.🔥

When I see the aggressively religious people hollering at passers by and stalking the Abortion clinic in this neighbourhood and they totally ignore the people in need around them....

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!

"Step Right Up!"
> Change won’t come through conventional politics but by circumventing it. We must create proximity directly—through door-knocking and local assemblies organised around small group listening.
> This is the next political revolution. I’m convinced that new movement parties could rise from zero to winning local and national elections in six months with these methods.

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 — "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 — a planet-heating #FossilFuel — 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 — a major ring road around London — 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 £760,000 ($980,000) and racked up £1 million ($1.3m) in policing costs.

"Now Gethin and three others — Louise Lancaster, #DanielShaw and #LuciaWhittakerDeAbreu, who planned the disruption on the call — 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 UK’s 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 years’ jail, or rape, which is four to 19 years.

"The judge — who in court referred to the activists as '#extremists' — 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 doctor’s visits and funerals because of the protest.

"But activists like Gethin say their demonstrations are proportionate to the problem at hand — 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.

“'A very harsh sentence like this doesn’t make sense morally or legally — but it does make sense politically,' Gethin told CNN in a handwritten letter from HMP Bronzefield, a women’s prison just south of London’s Heathrow Airport.

"The laws have drawn criticism from the UN’s special rapporteur on #EnvironmentalDefenders, #MichaelForst, who said not only do they criminalize peaceful protest, but they are being enforced in 'punitive and repressive' ways."
