The @CityofWheeling held its third #CityCouncil meeting today, Tuesday, February 7, 2023, at 5:30 PM. This thread details what I witnessed. I reported on the meeting as a citizen journalist, and I am using @BlackByGodWV @FolkReporters thread guide to compose this!

1/
First, in my estimation there were roughly 30 people in attendance, including members of the public, city government officials, and media. Apart from myself there was no masking. There appeared to me no COVID-19 safety precautions in place, there was space for some distancing

2/
3rd Ward Rep. @RosemaryKetchum opened the meeting with a prayer, followed by a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. City Clerk Brenda Delbert called the roll. In attendance were @MayorWheeling, @ViceMayorWhg and 1st Ward Rep. Chad Thalman, 2nd Ward Rep. @benseidler,

Was this #dogwalker a #whitewoman by any chance?

Because for the life of me, I do not get how all can ignore what happened to #myson #AmbroseGGBall in 8 solid years unless it was @MPSHaringey posting up all the wrong information, wrong days and dates,
the wrong locations, wrong description of clothing , the wrong Fox pub, all different times of the night, leaving out the vital information leading up to during and after my son went @missingpeople, did not response for 56 hours after all the calls myself and others had made over

When Jaibhim released many North ambedkarites expressed their anger seeing marx Lenin photos next to Babasaheb and their south counterparts also went berserk in attacking the movie but the movie seemed to be an hit in Tamil cinema touching a very important issue. 1/n
The movie has many communist red flag scenes and one of the very few movies which showed the relentless struggle of a common communit cadre to get justice for the oppressed. The real life comrade Govindan was a vanniyar community person and he stood against his own community 2/n
People and that's why he is a comrade not just becaue he wore a red towel. Same way #WITNESS the movie talks about the plight of Chennai corporation Sanitation workers. Having a person who works in Chennai corporation malaria department i know the plight of these workers 3/n

#Witness படம் பேசும் சமூக விஞ்ஞானம் !!!
ஒரு சமூகம் அதன் வளர்ச்சி அந்த வளர்ச்சியில் முதலாளித்துவத்தின் பங்கு என்று பல்வேறு காரணிகளை கொண்டது. சேரி மக்கள் சென்னையின் மையத்தில் இருந்து அப்புறப்படுத்தப்பட்டு சென்னைக்கு வெளியே வலுக்கட்டாயமாக தூக்கி எறியப்பட்டனர். 1/n
இது ஏதோ சாதாரண நிகழ்வு போல் தோன்றினாலும் இது முதலாளித்துவத்தின் கண்ணசைவில் நடந்த சம்பவம்.

ரிச்சர்ட் லெவின்ஸ் உலக புகழ் பெற்ற மார்க்சிய சிந்தனையாளர் இந்த நகர உருவாக்கம் அதில் சேரியின் தோற்றம் அங்கிருக்கும் மக்களின் வாழ்க்கை நிலை என்று பலவற்றை அறிவிய பூர்வமாக ஆய்வு செய்தவர். 2/n
அவரின் கூற்றுப்படி ஓர் நகரம் என்பது ஒன்றுக்கொன்று தொடர்பற்ற சுற்றுசூழலை கொண்டதல்ல. அவை ஓர் ஒழுங்குமுறை கொண்டவை. கட்டமைக்கப்பட்டவை.எங்கெல்லாம் பணக்கார மக்கள் வாழும் பகுதிகள் இருக்கிறதோ அங்கெல்லாம் அவர்களுக்கு சேவை செய்ய ஏவல் புரிய ஏழைகள் வாழும் சேரிகள் உருவாக்கப்படும்.3/n

1/7 I am very excited to share that my book, ‘The Figure of the Witness in International Criminal Tribunals: Memory, Atrocities and Transitional Justice’ is officially published today with @routledge as part of the #TransitionalJustice book series.
@KentLawSchool @CeCIL_UniKent Image
2/7 The book explores how international criminal institutions, and their actors – legal counsels, judges, investigators, registrars – construct #witness identity and #memory, taking the #ICTR as a case study.
3/7 It constructs an original conceptual framework of witness memories, & conducts a discourse analysis of ICTR archive material relating to the underexplored ‘pre-trial’ stage to argue that witnessing must be understood as a contingent and multi-layered discursive process.

Each morning I come onto @Twitter I pray there is some kind of @Hopeforjustice for #AmbroseGGBall.

But instead to witness @DavidLammy posting the most #sadistic #Facebook post to date knowing how he has treated the mother of murdered @forambrose1984 leaving her with a body in
@haringeycouncil without a single word from @NCLCCG_Haringey or #AndrewWalker since last June 2020.

Toni aka Ruth Lovell has been telling @GREATBritain how she has been treated by @metpoliceuk @MPSBarnet @MPSHaringey @MPSEnfield @CPSUK @IOPC_Help #CindyButts, @VpoDr
#bernardhoganhowe who has told the world how much we trust the #PoliceState, well 80% I do believe he quoted, to then be allowed to walk off

**ACTION ITEM BELOW**
On Monday, two Good Shepherd Collective members headed to #Ofer #military court & #prison to stand in #solidarity with Sami Huraini of Youth Of Sumud / شباب صمود and his family on the day of his trial.
Although we were unable to join Sami in the #courtroom, we sat with his family and dozens of other #Palestinians awaiting their family members, imprisoned and/or awaiting #prosecution in the #military #court system.
In Sami’s case, his trial was postponed, granting momentary relief despite a continuation of the bail conditions which prevent him from participating in #protests—essentially, keeping him from exercising his most basic right to #free speech and #resistance to #oppression.

Dear @comcare_gov_au,
I have recently received a response to a #FOI request in relation to the #Comcare investigation into #mould at the #Nauru RPC. Reviewing my original email to yourself in 2018, I feel I may not have made one aspect clear enough.
1/
I would appreciate it if you could clarify whether the incident of a contracted mould inspector (microbiologist) being asked to remove his PPE for the inspection and consequently becoming sick, was part of the @comcare_gov_au investigation into the mould issue
2/
...in the tents at the RPC on #Nauru or was treated as a separate investigation.
The FOI response I received on the 5th of June 2020 in relation to MC00004067, has plainly stated that Comcare never interviewed Dr Cameron Jones, the microbiologist in question.

‘Intuition, telepathy, whatever, that’s the only way you survive this place’

What is it like for news media on ground in Kashmir? These stories and images cover three decades of conflict. Little has changed in the disputed region.

At #KashmirTimes the teleprinter was on the same line as the phone. I don’t know why you could hear the wireless feed of Police Control Room. Dec 1989, when Rubaiya Sayeed was kidnapped, that’s where I first heard it.

Firing stopped. I heard a soldier shout: Sir, usko uda doon? Shall I knock him off? I didn’t even realise he was talking about me until I heard his officer’s response: Nahin beta, ho gaya ab. No son, it’s over now.

#Storytelling.

Tonight I'm going to share highlights from the 2010 "Scenarios for the Future of Technology & Int'l Development" report produced by The Rockefeller Foundation & Global Business Network. Not just the "Lock Step" scenario, but all 4 scenarios. [54 page report]
Following Event 201 (Oct 18 2019), we must concede that the ruling class has been gifted with phenomenal and prophetic intuitions & insights. (They truly are the chosen ones.) Thus it is worthwhile, even mandatory, to study their scenario exercises & simulations.
"We believe that scenario planning has great potential for use in philanthropy to identify unique interventions... scenario planning allows us to achieve impact more effectively." [p 4]

Suzanne Conti Martin shares- Last night, we crossed into Matamoros, Mexico with a team of women from Alabama who needed help hauling & serving out dinner. I was nervous-- Matamoros is considered to be a Level 4 Security zone which is as dangerous as like walking into Syria.1/8
I pictured chaos & pushing & shoving for the food. We each walked across the bridge with a wagon full of food. About 12 of us & about 2,000 asylum seekers living on the bridge. Things could have EASILY gotten out of control.2/8
Instead, we walked past an enormous line of people who had already formed & were patiently waiting for us to serve dinner. It took my breath away. I had to choke back the tears as I walked passed the hundreds of people waiting in line peacefully for us.3/8

This is outrageous ‼ The #UK is #blocking a Spanish Judge from getting testimony from #Assange - re: the US SPYING on him while at Embassy- to #protect the #US #extradition case from being #thrown out of Court

ILLEGAL
UNCONSCIONABLE
DISGRACEFUL @cpsuk

elpais.com/elpais/2019/10…
1/ "The British justice system is blocking a Spanish judge’s request to question Julian Assange in London as a witness in a case exploring allegations that the Spanish security firm Undercover Global S.L. spied on the WikiLeaks founder while he was living in d Ecuadorian embassy"
2/ "The British position, unprecedented in these types of requests for judicial collaboration, is being viewed by Spanish judicial bodies as a show of resistance against the consequences that the case could have on the process to extradite the Australian cyberactivist to the US."

THREAD! Nick Davies @guardian describe his work w #Assange re #AfghanWarLogs July 2011

⏭ to 33:43 - Davies says HE RAISED the issue of the problem of having informants names published, as could get killed! And that all 3 News agencies were very troubled

At 34:04 Nick Davies says:
"He (Assange) said: "If an #Afghan civilian #helps the #Coalition Forces then he #deserves to #die!"
It's a moral issue"! 😡 ⤵️


While Mark Davis a #witness SHOWS #Assange as #only 1 caring 4 informants ⤵️
John Goetz @DerSPIEGEL signed written statement he was at dinner & #Assange never said "Informants deserved to die"
Both David Leigh & Nick Davies (@Guardian) #LIED 2 Cover up

Marc Curtis & John Goetz are #WITNESSES & claim the contrary Assange never said so at dinner or bunker

PPOPHET MUHAMMAD’S LAST SERMON

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) delivered his last sermon (Khutbah) on the ninth of Dhul Hijjah (12th and last month of the Islamic year), 10 years after Hijrah (migration from Makkah to Madinah) in the Uranah Valley of mount Arafat.
His words were quite clear and concise and were directed to the ENTIRE HUMANITY .
After praising, and thanking Allah he said:

“O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again.
Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today.
O people, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust.
