RE: post last night’s phone call
Dear friends,’ brothers & sisters; ; I have heard about the controversy swirling around the web, but as I have no real access to it, much of it is a fog to me. In any event I shall endeavor to explain my perspective on this matter. When I learned about the repressive treatment faced by a number of Iranians (in Iran), I, of course expressed my support, for I thought then, and think now, that anyone facing such suffering by Any state, needed support in their time of extremity, for they were facing isolation (solitary confinement), torture, dehumanization — and yes, Death. As. a man who has spent most of his adult life on Death Row, is it not fitting to try to assist any man, woman and/or child facing such conditions? This is, after al, not so much a political decision as it is a human one, for who can stand aside when another person suffers from the «tender mercies» of the ravenous state? Not I. Not You either.. That said, I have had a friend read the remarks of of learned scholar, V.J. Prashad, whom I have found in the past, and in this pres3nt, brilliant and insightful? Much of my thinking aligns with his. When I nodded approval of my signature, I had not read, nor had I seen a petition… Nor was one read to me,. I regret this over sight. Yet, I cannot abandon the individuals who stand naked before the rapacious A Tate. Nor can I abandon our beloved Sister, Angela Davis.. I have been an qntiimperialist since I was a teenager. I have no intention of stopping now.
I was given my name by the Iroquois Nation many hundreds of years ago. By 1660 my name was printed on maps by the Europeans as they accepted the Native name which means Beautiful waters.
In 1867 the Canadian government decided to use my name for their providence.

🇲🇽 852K+ Mexican Senior Welfare/Pension Records Allegedly Leaked
A threat actor using the alias “MagoSpeak” has published what they claim is a database associated with Mexico’s “Pensionados para el Bienestar Adultos Mayores” program.
* The actor claims the dataset contains 852,611 records
* Allegedly exposed fields include full names
* Maternal and paternal surnames are reportedly included
* RFC tax identifiers are claimed to be present
* Additional fields reportedly include year/age-related information, mobile phone numbers and record type
* A direct download link for the alleged dataset is being distributed through the forum post
⚠️ Analyst Note:
If authentic, this dataset would be particularly sensitive because it appears to concern older adults enrolled in a government-linked welfare or pension program.
The combination of identity information, RFC identifiers and phone numbers could increase the risk of targeted fraud, impersonation, phishing and financial scams against potentially vulnerable individuals.
However, the claim remains unverified. DDW has not independently confirmed the source, freshness or completeness of the 852,611 records, nor whether the data originated from a recent compromise of a Mexican government system.
Thirty-five years ago, on the night of 16 August 1991, a cell of the ALF in Madrid planted a charge of dynamite in the Leganés bullring during the local festivities. The explosion caused minor damage inside the bullring & left a hole one metre in diameter in the metal structure.

🚨 #ALERTA | Asesinan a líder indígena ashéninka en Ucayali
La Coordinadora Nacional de Derechos Humanos (CNDDHH) alerta sobre el asesinato de Américo Pascuala Tomisha (57), líder indígena ashéninka y exjefe de la Comunidad Nativa Onconashari, distrito de Yurúa, Ucayali.
Según la Organización Regional AIDESEP Ucayali (ORAU), el 23 de agosto Américo Pascuala realizaba labores de monitoreo y vigilancia territorial cuando encontró a terceros que presuntamente extraían aceite de copaiba dentro de la comunidad. En esas circunstancias recibió impactos de arma de fuego que ocasionaron su muerte.
Este crimen no ocurre en un contexto desconocido para el Estado. Desde al menos 2020 existen reportes sobre el ingreso no autorizado de terceros a Onconashari para extraer copaiba y sobre amenazas contra comuneros, hechos que fueron puestos en conocimiento del Ministerio de Cultura y la Policía Nacional. ORAU señala, además, que Américo Pascuala había denunciado previamente la presencia de terceros en su territorio.
La CNDDHH exige al Ministerio Público y a la Policía Nacional una investigación inmediata, diligente y con enfoque intercultural, que considere su labor como defensor indígena del territorio y de los bosques y determine las responsabilidades materiales e intelectuales.
Exigimos también al Ministerio de Justicia y Derechos Humanos evaluar urgentemente el riesgo que enfrentan las autoridades y personas defensoras de Onconashari y adoptar las medidas de protección correspondientes.
Defender el territorio no puede costar la vida.
Justicia para Américo Pascuala Tomisha y protección efectiva para quienes defienden la Amazonía.

Mumia Abu-Jamal sent a message about his actual feelings about the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran. He wrote it on two paper plates. It is more eloquent than the Guardian letter, whose right to put his name down needs to be questioned. Who signed for Mumia?
A transcription of the text on the plates:
‘My young friends,
Iran is showing the world (especially the 3rd world) how to fight against the Empire. Their drones are rewriting the rules of war. And countries across the Global South are studying this phase of the war for that use!
They remind me of Vietnam poor country that whipped the most powerful army on earth… That’s where we are today.
