A way forward so starving people can be fed: The USA should be removed from the UN Security Council for aiding and abetting genoc!de. As a terrorist occupying force, I$rael should be cut off from the $14 Billion plus welfare that it receives annually from Uncle Sam (and our taxes). The US actively opposes the security of Palestinian civilians and should no longer sit on the UNSC with over-riding, abused, veto power. There is a mechanism for removal of “Security” Council members whose nations fail by promoting genocide. Article 6 of the UN Charter allows for any member of the UN to be expelled – even if they sit on the Security Council – for persistently violating the principles of the United Nations. The General Assembly should unite on this point and remove the USA from the UN, for the good of all. This may be difficult, since the Article 6 motion apparently has to arise from the “Security” Council? Can one member (USA) of the UNSC veto even this?! Anyone have an answer? Let us move the UN headquarters, fund the UN independently, and admit First Nations (Native American nations and others) to the new UN! As a US citizen, I do not support my nation’s genoc!dal ways. As Lailla ليلى B. recently wrote: …✍🏻In the 75 years since the UN was founded, no country has violated the principles of the UN Charter more than the United States of America. This is exemplified in the case of Palestine, where a ceasefire and an end to the genocide is persistently prevented by the United States, which cynically uses its veto power in the Security Council to overrule the will of the majority. Symbolic demonstrations are important, but focused action with a tangible goal is even more so. This is why it is time to demand the invocation of Article 6 – to expel the U.S. from the United Nations. … We call for the expulsion of the United States from the United Nations because that is a real objective that may not only result in a ceasefire in Gaza but can also invite much-needed reform of the United Nations and Security Council. To this end, we invite all those who desire an end to the tyranny of injustice to join our movement to Invoke the 6th Let’s demand that our leaders rule with justice and integrity. Let’s demand that all member states have a meaningful voice on the international stage. Let’s act for change. Let’s do it now! It is time for the world to say enough is enough… #InvokeThe6th 👉🏼Official Campaign: https://invokethe6th.org/

133,212 views Premiered Nov 4, 2024 Join Paul Wallis as he delves into the profound history of the Cathars, a 12th-century spiritual movement that championed peace, equality, and a deep connection to one's higher self. In this insightful exploration, Paul examines how the Cathars' beliefs, which blended Platonic ideas of consciousness and spirituality, presented a compelling alternative to the structured hierarchies of medieval Catholicism. Discover how the Cathars viewed themselves as the "Church of Love," fostering egalitarian communities, and how their mystical ideas about reincarnation, divine consciousness, and interdimensional guidance posed a significant challenge to the Catholic Church, ultimately leading to a brutal century-long crusade to eradicate them. How do echoes of Cathar thought resonate today?

For comparison, educational and better understanding: Zion, Zionists, Zionism... Please put down the meaning of these as you learned it, understand it or believe it came in your bible with its interpretation. There is at least 3 meaning for Zion, one in Christianity interpretation if old testament, another in Jewish Torah and a political meaning Why this is important? So that no one later claim that anti-Zionism = antisemitism as this started to develop. An example is these inaccurate, incorrect, delusive statements in the video below by an MP: https://lnkd.in/gSYuzqME #FreePalestine🇵🇸 #StopGazaGenocides #PermanentCeasefire #IDFwithdrawlOutfromGaza #PrisonersExchange

Great share as always Ọládélé Dosunmu. Whose HIStory is being told? For those professing "Allyship" kindly explore, the narrative we have been fed to undermine people of colour for centuries. Then speak up and out on our behalf to assist in a meaningful sustainable change process. Remember, the story told by the hunter, is very different from that of the prey. If we are to really ever have: Equity, Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity. Then, we need to have real uncomfortable conversations. We need to allot meaningful, time, money, effort and the willingness to reset one's mind to basic natural and moral laws. Where critical thinking involves the use of the mind, heart, gut and faith walk. Moreover, we need to be willing to be open to conduct role reversal exercises. This will enable us to really see the level of systemic and institutional racism very much alive today. EDI, requires a quantum paradigm shift. Commencing in the mindset and altering : attitude, behaviours, conduct and lifestyle choices. Have you ever, taken the time to ponder. Why are people including children and elderly people around the world being paid literally peanut income for back breaking work in hazardous working conditions from morning till night, with poor sanitation, no health and safety standards, no advocacy, living in 'accommodation' not fit for human habitation. Yet, their blood, sweat and tears... props up the lifestyle of the global South and other "advanced", countries. Why is environmental racism occuring, where waste is being dumped in poor countries, causing toxic conditions, impacting those people's lives. Where is the EDI, Human Rights in all of this? It is also important to highlight, that we need to appreciate that as we evolve into an Artificial Intelligence, machine learning age. Racist algorithmic profiling is a real risk! So if EDI, really will exist in a pure form. Then work has to commence now! As a professional community, your engagement may connect with policy makers who have the power to make a positive difference. So get involved. I would love to hear your views.. Remember that action.. Speaks volumes. #Artificial #machinelearning #equality #BritishEmpire

"Our biggest mistake is our failure to make Christianity and democracy as meaningful for the Negro as it is for the white. The most insidious form of subversive activity in this country is not that of the communists but that done by those who wrap themselves in the American flag and give the lie to American freedom." — Fr. Louis J. Twomey, S.J., May 20, 1962.
