Today, as the first <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NativeAmerican</span></a> to be the secretary of the interior — the first to lead any cabinet department — she has the opportunity to support the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FirstAmendment</span></a> rights of the protesters she joined in the past.</p><p>"With her authority over energy development on federal lands, Haaland can be a voice for Indigenous and climate movements facing an urgent threat: the rapid spread of laws to protect 'critical infrastructure' that single out activists.</p><p>"Since 2016, 13 states have quietly enacted laws that increase criminal penalties for trespassing, damage, and interference with infrastructure sites such as oil refineries and pipelines. At least five more states have already introduced similar legislation this year. These laws draw from national security legislation enacted after 9/11 to protect physical infrastructure considered so 'vital' that the 'incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety.'</p><p>"Many industry sectors are designated critical infrastructure, including food and agriculture, energy, water and wastewater, and communications, but most state critical infrastructure laws focus more narrowly on oil and gas <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pipelines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pipelines</span></a>. While protecting critical infrastructure is a legitimate government function, these laws clearly target environmental and Indigenous activists by significantly raising the penalties for participating in or even tangentially supporting pipeline trespassing and property damage, crimes that are already illegal. Many laws are modelled on draft legislation prepared by the American Legislative Exchange Council, also known as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ALEC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ALEC</span></a>, a powerful lobbying group funded by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuel</span></a> companies like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExxonMobil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExxonMobil</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Shell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Shell</span></a>.</p><p>"Central to the new critical infrastructure laws are increased criminal penalties and vague, broad definitions that could discourage protest and particularly, nonviolent civil disobedience. Many laws make any 'damage' to or 'interference' with a facility deemed critical infrastructure a felony. Under <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ohio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ohio</span></a>’s law, trespass with the purpose of 'tampering' with a facility is a third degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. In Indiana, a felony conviction is applied for any facility trespass, a crime that is typically a misdemeanor or fine.</p><p>"Vague language like 'damage,' 'tamper,' and 'impede' in critical infrastructure laws makes it unclear if, for example, knocking down <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SafetyCones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SafetyCones</span></a> and starting a fire next to a natural gas facility are the same under the law. Many critical infrastructure laws do not clarify if they apply only to land a company fully owns or also to pipeline easements, which run through both public and private lands. At least some laws apply to both. Only a week after Louisiana’s critical infrastructure law was enacted, opponents of the Bayou Bridge pipeline were charged with trespassing for boating on public waters on the border of a pipeline easement.</p><p>"The combination of overly broad language and steep penalties in critical infrastructure laws make it likely that future activists and supporting organizations will be discouraged from exercising their First Amendment-protected protest rights. A lawsuit brought in response to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BayouBridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BayouBridge</span></a> charges will test the laws for the first time on First Amendment grounds.</p><p>"Many of these laws even extend beyond the protesters. In a proposed law in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Minnesota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Minnesota</span></a>, anyone who 'recruits, trains, aids, advises, hires, counsels, or conspires' someone to trespass without a 'reasonable effort' to prevent the trespassing is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. In <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oklahoma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oklahoma</span></a> organizations that conspire with perpetrators are liable to be fined up to $1 million. These laws may infringe on the freedom of association protected under the First Amendment. Indeed, the Supreme Court ruled that the illegal actions of a few individuals do not implicate an entire group.</p><p>"The criminalization of environmental protest is fueled by federal security agencies and oil and gas companies, who are often major political donors. For years, the Department of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HomelandSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomelandSecurity</span></a> and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have labelled activists at infrastructure sites as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DomesticTerrorists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DomesticTerrorists</span></a> and violent extremists in order to justify further <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>surveillance</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>policing</span></a>. Government documents have been released that detail the FBI’s focus on '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AnimalRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AnimalRights</span></a> / <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalExtremism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalExtremism</span></a>,' describing even <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NonviolentProtesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NonviolentProtesters</span></a> as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/extremists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>extremists</span></a>.</p><p>"At Standing Rock, a private security firm [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blackwater</span></a>] hired by the pipeline companies consistently referred to protesters as 'terrorists' while working with law enforcement. Ahead of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KeystoneXLPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KeystoneXLPipeline</span></a> protests in 2018, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DHS</span></a> agents held an '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiTerrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiTerrorism</span></a> training' for state and local authorities. In contrast, members of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FarRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FarRight</span></a> militant group the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThreePercenters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThreePercenters</span></a> have established a significant presence at oil and gas plants with little law enforcement reaction.</p><p>"To be sure, as the recent power outages in Texas showed so vividly, the United States needs reliable energy. But it’s questionable whether pipeline construction sites that could feasibly be moved or replaced with renewable energy sources should legitimately be considered 'vital' to the energy grid. Furthermore, a singular focus on this aspect of security comes at the cost of others. Whose essential resources do pipeline projects protect and whose do they threaten? Black Americans are disproportionately likely to live near natural <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GasPipelines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GasPipelines</span></a> and experience higher <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CancerRisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CancerRisk</span></a> due to unclean air. An oil spill from the Dakota Access Pipeline could devastate the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SiouxTribe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SiouxTribe</span></a>’s water source. Meanwhile, on some reservations, 10 percent of households lack electricity and as many as 40 percent of households must haul water and use outhouses. The well-being of these communities must count too.</p><p>"The rise in critical infrastructure laws may foreshadow more anti-protest legislation to come. A similar wave of anti-protest laws has already begun in response to the 2020 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackLivesMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackLivesMatter</span></a> protests. State legislators contemplating critical infrastructure laws should bear in mind that laws that criminalize trespassing and protect the safety of construction workers and law enforcement already exist. Critical infrastructure laws don’t fill an unmet need — they only raise the penalties for specific groups of people. Courts adjudicating <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FirstAmendment</span></a> challenges in the coming years should recognize that these laws are overbroad and impose disproportionately severe penalties that chill freedom of assembly and association.</p><p>"As secretary of the interior, Haaland promises to uplift the voices of Indigenous and climate protesters in the Biden administration. State legislators, law enforcement, and the fossil fuel industry should follow suit and listen to these activists rather than suppressing constitutionally protected activity under the guise of national security."</p><p>Source:<br><a href="https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/anti-protest-laws-threaten-indigenous-and-climate-movements" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">brennancenter.org/our-work/ana</span><span class="invisible">lysis-opinion/anti-protest-laws-threaten-indigenous-and-climate-movements</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BrennanCenter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BrennanCenter</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoDAPL</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoKXL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoKXL</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PipelineProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PipelineProtests</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ACAB</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ErikPrince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ErikPrince</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOilAndGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigOilAndGas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oiligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oiligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalRacism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AirIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AirIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExxonLied" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExxonLied</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blackwater</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandWithStandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StandWithStandingRock</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRockSioux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StandingRockSioux</span></a></p>

What do #VanceBoelter and #ErikPrince have in common? Quite a bit! But Prince prefers to farm out #Assassinations to his minions!

#Theocratic #Mercenary Erik Prince and the #ChristianRight

by Mike Kuhlenbeck • 19 June 2018

"Erik Dean Prince was born in Holland, Michigan, on June 6, 1969, the youngest child and only son of Edgar and Elsa Prince, who also had daughters Betsy, Emilie, and Eileen. As documented by author Suzanne Simons in her 2009 book Master of War: #Blackwater USA’s Erik Prince and the Business of War, Prince grew up in a religious household and attended Christian schools; the Princes were members of the Reformed Church in America, a conservative Christian sect that follows the philosophical template of theologian John Calvin.

"Edgar Prince worked as a die caster and then chief engineer for the die cast machine manufacturing outfit Buss Machine Works after serving in the US Air Force. In 1965 he and two co-workers struck out on their own to establish Prince Manufacturing. By the 1970s the company expanded its operations and became financially successful, as did the Prince family. Edgar Prince died of heart failure in 1995, and the company was sold to Johnson Controls for over $1 billion.

"Surrounded by those who share their belief in Christian-based politics, the Prince family has used its fortune to help build the #ConservativeChristian movement. Focus on the Family founder James Dobson and Richard Nixon’s disgraced former special counsel Charles Colson (who became a born-again Christian after serving seven months in prison for his role in the Watergate scandal) were family friends. Edgar and Elsa Prince were major contributors to the Family Research Council and founded the nonprofit Edgar and Elsa Prince Foundation in 1979, substantial funds from which have gone toward the effort to abolish the legal wall separating church and state. The Prince family also has deep ties to the Council for National Policy (#CNP) which, according to its vision statement, supports “a united conservative movement to assure, by 2020, policy leadership and governance that restores religious and economic freedom, a strong national defense, and #JudeoChristian values under the Constitution.”

"From Reverend #BillyGraham’s “spiritual counsel” to twelve US presidents, to Reverend #JerryFalwell’s #MoralMajority movement of the 1970s and ’80s, to Marion Gordon #PatRobertson’s #ChristianCoalition (now the #ChristianCoalitionOfAmerica), the movement to push a #fundamentalist “Judeo-Christian” agenda into the public sphere has been an ongoing crusade. Keeping with family tradition, Erik Prince’s sister Betsy married fellow Christian right figure Dick DeVos, whose father is the founder of Amway and the past president of the CNP from 1990-1993. Betsy DeVos served as the chair of the Michigan Republican Party and now serves as US Secretary of Education under Donald Trump. The DeVos dynasty, labelled a “family of extremists” by the Center for American Progress, is undoubtedly having an influence on the Trump White House."

#Haiti’s govt is awaiting the arrival of arms shipments & more personnel to step up its fight against the gangs.

American officials said they were aware of #ErikPrince’s work with Haiti’s govt. But the full terms of the Haitian govt’s arrangement w/Prince, including how much it is paying him, are unknown.

The #State Dept, which has provided millions of dollars in funding to equip & train Haiti’s National Police, said it is not paying Prince or his company for work in Haiti.

The New York Times · Haiti Enlists Blackwater Founder and Trump Ally to Take on Criminal GangsBy David C. Adams

Finalizada la saga Blackwater. Me ha dejado un buen sabor de boca tremendo, y ganas de más. De mucho más.

Son seis libros, pero muy cortitos, apenas ciento cincuenta páginas cada uno. Y os aseguro que se leen en seis suspiros, así de fuerte es el enganche que producen.

Voy a echar mucho de menos a Perdido y a todos sus habitantes, desde ya os lo digo. Aunque no descarto una relectura cuando pase un tiempo y se asienten las aguas (nunca mejor dicho).
