  • Seeing this, I see why they’re getting rid of juries in the UK.

    Stuff like the Magna Carta, no longer “the foundation of the freedom of the individual against the arbitrary authority of the despot”, now just toilet paper.

    We are in a lot of trouble. We can still mend this.

    The UK state has tried to suppress jurors’ awareness of their legal right to ignore judges’ directions and legal arguments and to acquit based on conscience.

    Since attempted to get rid of juries entirely.

    A lot of trouble. This is not what democracy looks like. Deeply.

    Could make more of these helpful public service announcements all day long…

    The US Office of Educational Technology may have free computers for you. Research “Project Blue Beam”.

    The US National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect have a money back scheme you’re likely eligible for. Research “Operation Lockstep”.

    Did you know the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development now offer free housing and renovations. Research “Project Monarch”.



  • it started as just calum’s story, then grew to a dozen more stories, then grew to 60, before they had to stop.

    it kept happening to more and more people as the decade progressed.

    Abused by the assessment process, cut off like an injust witch hunt, that if you lived, you didn’t need the support they cut off, and if you died, you needed the support, but don’t any more, and so it’s win-win to them in their totalitarian lust to meet quotas of culling the hated. Denied access to necessities to survive, cut off by those with a duty of care for you, intentionally. No money for heating, for food, for medicines & therapies, for anything. Perishing by starving, freezing, succumbing to ailments. Or even just from the PTSD & CPTSD & stress brought on from the mistreatment from the system there to provide for your welfare.

    Read those 60 stories. Scale that up to >130,000, and see that >130,000’s not just a number.

    Even to read just one… To get some idea what’s been happening.
