🇦🇺 🧑‍🔧✊ 🚨 AUSTRALIA BECOMES THE FIRST NATION IN THE WORLD TO BAN ENGINEERED STONE DUE TO HEALTH RISKS TO WORKERS

Australia became the first nation in the world to ban engineered stone due to the health risks to workers, local media reported on Wednesday, with the ban due to take effect in July, 2024.

Australia made the decision during a meeting of the Commonwealth, State and territory workplace ministers. The move was made in response to a surge in the lung disease, Silicosis.

Australia's Assistant Secretary of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, Liam O'Brien, is quoted as saying, "Engineered stone is a fashion product that is killing the workers who make it."

"With alternatives readily available, why are we risking the lives of tradies for a fashionable finish in our kitchens?" O'Brien added.

Engineered stone has been used in Australia since the mid-2000's, with the first cases linked to engineered stone arising in 2015, with hundreds of cases having since developed.

HEROS OF THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR

Roza Georgiyevna Shanin

3 April 1924 – 28 January 1945

Roza Shanina was a graduate of the Central Women's Sniper Training School credited with 59 confirmed kills.

Shanina volunteered for the military after the death of her brother in 1941 and chose to be a sniper on the front line. Praised for her shooting accuracy, Shanina was capable of precisely hitting enemy personnel and making doublets (two target hits by two rounds fired in quick succession).

In 1944, a Canadian newspaper described Shanina as "the unseen terror of East Prussia". She became the first servicewoman of the 3rd Belorussian Front to receive the Order of Glory.

Shanina was killed in action during the East Prussian Offensive while shielding the severely wounded commander of an artillery unit. Shanina's actions received praise during her lifetime, but conflicted with the Soviet policy of sparing snipers from heavy battles. Her combat diary was first published in 1965.

🇺🇸 CORRUPTION AND COLLUSION BETWEEN ELECTED POLITICIANS AND BUSINESS ELITES OPENLY CELEBRATED IN AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS

In any part of the world, one thing is surely understood. Open collusion between elites and elected officials is textbook corruption. Yet, in the US media, this kind of corruption is held up as the vision of professionalism and good governance.

So backwards is American political culture, that most US political, media and cultural elites see any kind of restrictions on the ability of business interests to influence politicians as anti-democratic.

US political culture is so corrupt and ineffective that most Americans cannot remember a time where trillions didn't flow to defense contractors and US military bases didn't proliferate in ever greater numbers across the Pacific Ocean.

The US doesn't even make much of anything anymore, mostly weapons to sell to dependent allies, forced to defend themselves from US-instigated conflicts.

It's all a racket at this point.

Organize

Break the system.

@WorkerSolidarityNews

To my 4'000+ followers, I want to thank everyone for bearing with me as I formulate the system for posting to this blog, such as color coding news/analysis/opinion and organizing sources.

I realize posting is inconsistent at best, I don't always get the chance to post all I would like to. Also, I am currently dealing with an ongoing family emergency, and so I truly appreciate everyone's patience as I work out the kinks in this blog.

I value everyone who follows this blog, including those with diametrically opposing views, as my goal is to expose you to different views, news, and analysis than you might encounter through the usual mainstream outlets, and it is not necessarily my goal to change your views to reflect my own, though that would certainly be a bonus.

Thank you again for bearing with me, I promise you this, when I finally have all this down, get some more help with the blog and things are more settled, you will be rewarded with more content.

Peace ✌️

🇺🇳🇺🇲 TOTAL GLOBAL DEBT WAS US$92 TRILLION AS OF 2022

TOTAL US PUBLIC DEBT IN 2022 WAS $31 TRILLION

MEANING THE UNITED STATES IS RESPONSIBLE FOR JUST A HAIR OVER ONE THIRD OF GLOBAL PUBLIC DEBT.

Understand that no other country on earth can print money and just spend it the way the United States does because the rest of the world doesn't have sovereignty over the World Reserve Currency.

If any other country attempted to print money and manipulate markets the way the United States does, first off we'd sanction them for having an independent policy, and secondly, it would rapidly result in runaway inflation.

But because the US has sovereignty over the World's Reserve Currency, the United States can and does manipulate markets and print money however it likes, and the rest of the world, especially in the Global South, are literally forced to subsidize this US debt by buying US dollars at horrible exchange rates that favor Western countries in order to do trade, oftentimes with countries that have NOTHING to do with the United States because that's just how the international system has been designed (by the US and UK) to force countries to trade in dollars using Western banks.

And this advantage is baked into the system itself.

This means foreign countries in the Global South are subsidizing the very Imperialism oppressing them, subsidizing the 900 or so US military bases around the world.

Imagine if we used the resources and productive capacity we use for war and Imperialism for space exploration or the colonization of the solar system or to create a healthy, environmentally harmonious agricultural system or electric grid, or to erase poverty.

We would already be living on Mars in relative luxury, and in peace with each other.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 PALESTINIAN NIGHT STRIKES IN OCCUPIED PALESTINE

Don't be surprised when the genocidal reprisals really get started. US mainstream news media is already priming the public to accept genocide scale horrors out of occupied Palestine.

But the Palestinian people are being strangled, and it's better to die on your feet fighting than lay down to die from lack of food or medicine or for walking down the wrong street in view of a radical Jewish settler.

Enough's enough. Palestinians will die on their backs no more.

🇺🇲🇺🇦 UK's TELEGRAPH IS REPORTING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SUPPORTS SENDING ANOTHER $100 BIILLION TO UKRAINE IN "ONE-AND-DONE" AID PACKAGE

The UK's Telegraph is reporting the Biden Administration is looking to request a "one-and-done" aid package to Ukraine worth up to $100 Billion to cover weapons procurements through 2025.

NATO leadership and Ukrainian President Vlodomyr Zelensky have expressed concern aid money could dry up as the population and some elected officials within the United States sour on sending more money to the embattled Eastern European nation.

According to the Telegraph's report, some officials in the Biden Administration believe passing one large aid package worth up to $100 Billion would give the administration the best chance of funding the war through the election season, an attempt at neutralizing the issue for 2024.

The administration believes this would avoid further debates in Congress over Ukraine arms funding next year as Donald Trump and a handful of other Republican officials have been attacking Democrats and the Biden Administration over the war, arguing the money should be spent on other more pressing economic and social issues within the US domestic political arena.

According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, 41% of all voters support sending weapons to Ukraine, down from 46% in May, with the biggest drop in support coming from Democrats, down 9 percentage points to 52%.

However, the Biden Administration also said they were "not making any decisions about whether to do one big package or about how much it would be" until after a replacement for Kevin McCarthy has been elected.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 If you suffocate a population, don't be surprised when they claw their way to the surface gasping for a breath of fresh air.

Gaza is living under complete blockade; denied access to the most basic food, medicine, medical technology, infrastructure such as water and sewage or garbage collection; the Palestinian population of Gaza is clearly being suffocated one day at a time.

And now, we see them clawing their way to the surface for air. Within Israel, it is apartheid, militarized checkpoints and invasive state oppression, and without Israel it is blockade, regular military bombardment and raids.

Wherever Palestinians exist, they are being suffocated. We cannot act surprised when they lash out or conduct retribution when we're talking about two populations opposed to each other where one has hegemonic control over land, sea and air, as well as the military domination of those spaces, and a dysfunctional, colonial style governance over the people there, while the other is being dominated in all spaces.

Regardless how someone feels about the so-called "right" for Israel to exist, a colonialist project of ethnic displacement, replacement and genocide, the Palestinians have a RIGHT TO LIFE.

If you deny that to them, they will choose to die fighting.
