Decolonizing Trauma Care takes divestment from Empire Violence to end violent oppression, suppression and aggression, in order to create the post-colonial space to address the effects of colonial trauma.

Many “post-colonial” communities, don’t actually have an interruption of suppression and coercion from the Empire, economically and politically in particular, to be truly and fully post-colonial in their recovery stage and are often coerced by outside forces to re-enact internalized colonial harm laterally on their own community members tragically — here we name the violence of puppets and acclimating gatekeepers taken out on their own community and neighboring community members. These proxy violence enactors get rewarded and personally enriched by a Western Hegemonic Global Empire that conducts proxy and covert domination operations daily it seems and inspires and applauds micro instances of these violences in their marketplace and institutions, even calling this violence by a million different faces liberal progress! We see this double speak in the liberal abuse of woke language while enacting antithetic proxy violence behavior, sometimes with and sometimes without awareness of the violence they are enacting. Ignorance does not mean that accountability must go by the way side. The woke language isn’t the issue (even though authoritarian leaders may try to convince the masses it is), it’s the violent co-opting of woke language to cloak and sell Empire enriching violence that has managed to weaponize liberatory language in the name of Empire violence. It’s up to the people collectively to keep the language of liberation and reject the framework of Hegemonic Violence that gets dishonestly coupled with liberatory language by Empire Vandals of various political affiliations.

To further interrupt the covert violence, here we post some updates on global and local news. This is an action to support people who are being oppressed and isolated by the state to have their stories told and witnessed, interrupting suppressive enforced isolation on people who are marginalized. It also interrupts the gaslighting that is often employed by the Empire to keep people tangled in psychological distress and confusion.

Western backed puppet government leader continues to assert domination against the well being of the majority there. Before inaguration the current leader announced he would “shock” the Argentinian economy, signaling that he would implement Friedman shockenomics tactics of Western Imperial economy seizure with accompanying violent inflation and political chaos. Media spin on behalf of the few who are pocketing the money rapaciously plundered from the public is publicized as a growing GDP of “the nation” to cover up the plummeting wealth of the majority. Meanwhile witness fascist back up of U.S. Government Political Agenda on the rise, via the recent U.N. G.A. vote against Palestinian Statehood. Another country in the Global South marked for U.S. Governmental plunder. Look for news about the U.N. G.A. Vote this past week and staggering/death bringing inflation in Argentina for the latest.

Ending the Death Penalty

The Missouri Supreme Court set an execution date of June 11th, 2024, for David Hosier. Over the coming week's we'll be sharing more information about David, but right now we need you to Sign and share the petition asking Governor Parson to grant clemency today!

From MADPMO: “The death penalty perpetuates a cycle of violence and does not serve as an effective deterrent to crime. Clemency for David Hosier would demonstrate compassion and a commitment to justice that goes beyond retribution.”

They also mention that there is often, and in this case, lack of direct and reliable evidence, often unfair trial setup, and these charges often get carried out on poor people who cannot access or pay for the legal support they need.

The death penalty, just like the death and wage gap, is a form of institutionalized penury, wherein people with privilege who levy laws are intentionally ignorant and/or willing to marginalize, target and incriminate people with little to no access to move out of oppressive poverty. This has sometimes been in governmental and privatized structures that are designed to extract relatively all or most of the earnings or little accumulated wealth from the poor and working classes to keep them indentured and dependent on the state and corporate strategies.

Continued Debunking of Rape Allegations. These allegations iave been used immorally to rouse public support for continued apartheid and mass murder

• 5/8/24 Journalist Briahna Joy Gray debunks the renewed claims without evidence, linked here.

Found Mass Graves of hundreds of civilians including children, elderly and medical professionals; People Buried Alive; Organ Theft; IOF/IDF (Israeli Occupation/Defense Force) using Palestinians as Human Shields as usual in Gaza; …all from one of the recent obliterations of a hospital by the IOF/IDF (Israeli Offensive/Occupying Forces), updated links.

-News Links and Reflections:

• 4/27/24 Re-post

• Hundreds of children, elderly, adult civilians including medical professionals found in mass graves update
  Gentle Intro News Link here.
  Many International News Outlets have covered this story. This is just one link.

• Activation alert— graphic description of reality: mass graves of people some found bound and tied, some executed, some in medical scrubs, some elderly, some children, many mutilated…looks like some possibly soiled and may have been buried alive, indications of bodies opened and organs illegally stolen and likely trafficked…
  Graphic footage of mass grave recovery with so e forensic analysis and invitation for 3rd party analysis linked here.

• Please remember the humanity of the people found dead here and those mourning and doing this recovery effort. This is truly horrific treatment of any people, each one with lives, loved ones, culture, dreams, hopes… Other atrocities do not diminish or change this one (as this is where the Israeli Zionists tend to deflect and act as if the world did not mourn their losses — not true, we are all mourning, that’s why we want to end this vicious occupation which Freud and Einstein warned us would lead to where we are today) All losses matter and none can be used to excuse this violent genocidal mass murder.

  
  They are asking for a third party to come in and do an investigation — they are waiting to see if racist Western countries will allow that support to be brought in or will they try to cover their violence up (U.S., London, German, Austrian and Israeli Governments need to be watched carefully here, they are not credible third parties as possible co-enactors of genocide)

  Will people respond with the same humanizing offered to Ukranian civilians who were matryred?
  How much evidence do we need? When we say evidence, we really mean, how many more victims of cruel, machiavellian torture, abuse and slaughter are we going to allow Israeli-U.S.-U.K.-German Western Coalition of Genocidal Governments and their racist enablers to continue to murder? Ther are not numbers or evidence, they are people!!!! Please see the website wearenotnumbers.org
  This violence makes clear the racist ideology of the West that has made this and the atrocities across the global south possible for centuries. Remember the #1 U.S. Governmental xport is racism! It is so insidious that Western cultures are allergic to having their racism brought to their attention — we call that allergic reaction to truth, “fragility,” wherein people want to believe they are morally righteous without interrogating what they actively participate in or silently allow to happen in their name.

• People can also educate themselves out of a denialism that allows complicity in racial and capitalist violence nationally in the U.S. and around the world. It’s important to hear from a variety of sources and ask for observable facts, versus give in to coercion or demands that people be trusted because they are exercising white or wealth based privilege.

Campus Protest Updates
5/13/24link here

• UCLA’s Daily Bruin publishes an account of the pro-Zionist/pro settler colonialism attack of the anti-genocide protesters link here.

• Op/Ed: How is it responsible that Duke University has Seinfeld speak at a commencement after his wife was the chief donor to one of the most violent pro-Zionism protests on a campus at UCLA this past month? Doctors at Ronald Reagan Hospital in L.A. were at the ready each night when the pro-Zionism supporters attacked the quietly resting anti-genocide/anti-apartheid protesters in the middle of the night, causing physical bodily harm. We know this because we were at the hospital by happenstance talking with medical staff that night and they were watching the footage streamed live and readying staff in case. From what we witnesses, the protesters were all clear that they were not to engage with pro-settler colonial agitators, as was even seen on agitator videos. Are U.S. Higher Education Institutions more beholden to the radical support of a foreign Ethnostate dedicated to ethnically cleansing the co-natives off the land in Historic Palestine, or are they willing to protect civilians, children and young adults, at home and everywhere? We hope the U.S. Government and Higher Education Institutions will demonstrate their dedication to their own youth civilians by not violating their freedom of speech and peaceful assembly rights and by not allowing them to be battered by pro-colonial apartheid enthusiasts, and not having the peuceful student protesters unlawfully detained by the police. In one of the most repulsive abusive uses of police force, the police stood down while anti-genocide protesters were being beaten with metal poles and having fireworks, chemicals and maybe even mice deployed into their encampment by pro-Zionism protesters. The police were then brought in the next day and night to arrest and violently tear down the encampment of peacful anti-genocide protesters, even the day after the anti-genocide protesters were attacked by pro-Zionism/pro-settler colonial protesters. Why were the pro-mass murder violators not arrested and instead given space to scream, spit and beat students?

  Having visited the anti-genocide/ anti-apartheid encampment at UCLA on different days, we witnessed people of different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds gathered together, praying together, sharing meals and education. They were peaceful, there was clear call for freedom of the Palestinian people from apartheid and mass murder campaigns by Zionists. There was a clearly written goal of having the universtity divest from companies/funding that are directly involved in apartheid and mass murder of Palestinians.

  On the third or fourth afternoon there was pindrop silence amongst hundreds of students in peaceful solidarity, even as police were lining up members of the anti-genocide protest to be arrested during the day. The only sound was a loud pro-Zionist agitator shouting at the silent protesters to take off the masks they were wearing —taunting them as “hiding their faces,” even though it was clear that the students were wearing the face masks to responsibly prevent the spread of infections while in close quarters.

  The anti-genocide protests have been peacefully co-lead by Palestinian American and Jewish students side by side in solidarity. It’s anti-semitic to monolith and characterize all Jews as Zionists, discounting their own desire to not be identified with a project of settler colonialism and oppression. Zionists may not understand that settler colonialism, genocide and apartheid is what is being carried out in the name of their ideology, and it is important to understand that for 130+ years, illegal land seizures and mass taunting and killing of Palestinians and routine destruction of their homes, cultural and learning institutions, communities…whole families, villages, towns…completely destroyed has been the regular course of action to “clear” the land for an exclusive Jewish ethnostate, that not all Jewish Community Members are aligned with creating in this way, on top of the ruins and mass graves of native/co-native Palestinians. Palestine always historically included people of various religious backgrounds co-existing. The idea of inventing a democratic, multi-theocratic state where all people are free, including Jews and Palestinians together, was and still is Historic Palestine. Palestine is not a threat to democracy or co-existence, but it is in the way of an exclusive ethnostate that desires to occupy the land for themselves, even to merciless ends as is being demonstrated day after day, year after year. Ceasefire is never enforced for ZIonists who routinely “mow the lawn,” carpet bomb, expel people and/or weld front doors to trap people in their homes and make certain streets exclusive for Zionist travel only. This has been video documented for decades. Extremist Zionist setter colonialism that is dedicated to exclusivity and chauvinist policies of dehumanizing Palestinians needs to be looked at and divested from as an ideology. Chauvinist policies are a challenge everywhere, whether it’s via U.S. Manifest Destiny and the resurfacing of it via the Proud Boys campaign or it’s the caste system in India, what seems like a call to excellence, belies a second priority to underclass and/or extinguish people seen as “other” as less than.

  Again Einstein, Freud, Pappe were not aligned with the underlying violence of the Zionist project, so it is historically consistent that acclaimed scholars and academics would dissent as they are en masse in this moment. The clear goal of the protest being to end the brutal occupation, oppression and mass murder (plausible genocide) of Palestinians. End Imperialism everywhere, freedom for all peoples!
