The Americans worked closely with the British. In 1975, Whitlam discovered that MI6 was operating against his government. “The Brits were actually decoding secret messages coming into my foreign affairs office,” he said later.

The notion of an ongoing resistance by people of color in the #US sounds outlandish but might be what is needed in order to rid America of its racist and violent attitudes.

In Palestine, within a manner of days, the Israeli authorities shot three people, killing two. Two of the three were young Palestinian men with special needs.
The other man is Iyad Khairi Hallak, who was shot and killed in Jerusalem. One can expect that none of the soldiers or police officers involved in these shootings will face a court of law, or even a reprimand.

The latest instance of American social disharmony being blamed on Moscow is part of a long tradition, where some see an invisible Russian hand whenever it is useful.

While the evidence linking the public anger over #GeorgeFloyd 's killing to the Kremlin, Beijing, or any other foreign government is hazy, at best, the utility in blaming outside agitators for rioting or even for @realDonaldTrump victory in 2016 is clear.

I was assaulted by a White male photographer AFTER our very peaceful #PittsburghProtest. I was on FB Live. He ran away but witnesses saw him interviewed on @WPXI (Ch 11), saying he was attacked by Black people. Please help me find him. #BlacksLivesMatter #Pittsburgh
The actual #PittsburghProtest itself went very well, it was a fully, Black led and multiracial coalition of folks who came out in solidarity to seek #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd in #Minnesota and reassert that ALL #BlackLivesMatter, everywhere, even in #Pittsburgh, #Pennsylvania. ✊🏾
We arrived on Centre Avenue, almost headed to Freedom Corner (an historic site of #PittsburghProtest), but organizers received news that someone hit a patrol car, violence was eminent, so they ended the march right there. Half the marchers were still on Washington Blvd. #BLM

Studies on wealth inequality have shown its effect on social cohesion, with the more unequal a society gets, the less likely people are to see themselves as participants in a community and view others as a threat.

The wealthy are economically distancing from the rest of society. Worse, some are pandemic profiteering, looting government stimulus programs and taking advantage of market monopolies,” he told MintPress News.

Regardless of the truth behind who started the fires and the looting, the rage felt by the people of Minneapolis is the result of a deep and profound problem in this country that cannot go on.

Pinned to the ground
Unable to move
All I could do was to
whisper:" I cant breathe"

There was people watching me
Filming me,clicking pictures
And all I could do was to
whisper:" I cant breathe"

#GeorgeFloydprotest
The officer still made no
move of his leg on my neck
Slammed to the ground,
Blood from my nose
And all I could do was
whisper: "I cant breathe"

Was it cause I wrote a bad check
Or was it cause of my race?
Wasnt I cooperative?

#BlackLivesMatters
Cause in the end all I could do,
like any other ,was to whisper:
" I cant breathe"

6 years ago
I remember, brother Eric
When you were also
Choked to death
And all you could do was
whisper :" I can't breathe"

Se o assassinato de #GeorgeFloyd lembrou o de #EricGarner, a resposta da população lembra a resposta à absolvição dos policiais que espancaram #RodneyKing em 1992, em Los Angeles. Mineápolis em convulsão social #minneapolisriots
Delegacia de polícia em Mineápolis...
Manifestantes queimando a bandeira dos Estados Unidos #GeorgeFloyd #minneapolisriots

Let me share a little bit about protests and revolutions and the media obsession with #Riots . We know most of the coverage is tainted by the racial bias of the news outlets covering the events, but it goes a bit deeper than that. Sometimes they just plain old lie
People out in the street protesting state violence are 98% of the time not the people destroying property. The property destruction, is often the result of police violence, and inaction. Happened in Ferguson, Baltimore, just about everywhere and it's seldom covered
Do you know how hot tear gas canisters are ? Do you think police flares just 'disappear' once the camera stops rolling? Often police munitions, being used with reckless abandon, spark the fires and destruction that is blamed on protesters. I've seen it in person
