Stand for #Palestine - #FreeportMaine

1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
LL Bean Entrance
Main St and Morse St Freeport, ME USA

"Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space’s statewide #antiwar coalition will bring its monthly protest series to Freeport in December.

"They will walk a few blocks on each side of Main St in Freeport handing out flyers while holding signs and banners.

"News of atrocities in northern Gaza continue to horrify the world as well as airstrikes in Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen with many innocent victims.

"Israel could not conduct their genocide in Gaza without U.S. support -- including weapons made in Maine. Join us to raise your voice to say: no more money for Israel's crimes.

"Bring your own signs and banners, or use those provided."

Co-sponsors: Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space, #MaineNaturalGuard, #PeaceWorks of Greater Brunswick, #CommunistParty of Maine, #MaineGreenIndependentParty, Citizens Opposing Active Sonar Threats (#COAST), Party for #Socialism & #Liberation Maine, #LibertarianParty of Maine, #PeoplesParty of Maine, #PeaceAndJusticeCenter of Eastern Maine, #VeteransForPeace - National, United National Antiwar Coalition (#UNAC), and #MaineVoicesForPalestinianRights (#MVPR).

One of many earlier #British #ColonialCrimes in #SouthEastAsia. The #BriggsPlan in #Malaysia.

The Nazi regime during WWII forever gave the term #ConcentrationCamp a name symbolic of #atrocity, so when British #colonizers once again visited the idea of #ForcedRelocation of #IndigenousPeoples to isolate them they needed another name for the enclaves. They came up with #NewVillages. The New Villages were created under the Briggs Plan, which was developed to combat the communist insurgency in #Malaya during the 1950 #MalayanEmergency. The plan was prepared by Sir Harold Briggs, a British General who was the Director of Operations in Malaya.

#Britain lost the Malayan Peninsula and their fortress at Singapore to the Japanese during WWII and reoccupied their former dominion after the fall of Japan. Among the many difficulties the British encountered was the presence of roughly a half-million #Chinese in rural Malaya, most working as farmers working small plots of land for their own sustenance on land they did not own or lease. The British administration regarded these Chinese as squatters and found them a problem because they were physically distant from the machinery of British authority, which most of the Malayan population was not happy to see return to their country.

When the Malayan #CommunistParty received support from armed #guerrillas from Malaya and #China, the British, intent on restoring #Imperial rule to the peninsula, looked with additional distrust upon these rural Chinese. While some of the Chinese were certainly sympathetic to the communists, most were indifferent. The British concern was that the communist #insurgents would receive support from the squatters in the form of food, neglecting the fact that the majority of the Chinese squatters were barely able to grow enough to support themselves. The Briggs plan required the forced relocation of the Chinese.

The New Villages isolated the Chinese, and they were guarded by Malayan police and British Military Police and some troops. The Chinese could not leave the villages except under escort and nobody was allowed in without the permission of the guards, making them effectively prisons. The villages were built with running water and electricity, amenities absent from most Malayan villages, and health care and some educational facilities were provided. This caused resentment towards the British from the Malay outside the villages, who didn’t receive the same amenities, and the Chinese, who resented the forced relocation settlement.

Although the New Villages, of which 450 were built, were an improvement over the forced detention camps of the Boer War, and death rates in the villages were roughly the same as for the rest of the country, there were racially motivated #CollectivePunishments directed towards the Chinese population in the villages. #Deportation without trial by the administration was a common punishment for the Chinese. Law within the villages was the decision of the British. Many of the villages are still standing and in recent years have been restored to serve as tourist destinations by the Malaysian government with support from China.

The #expulsion comes in the midst of an anti-corruption drive known as the #BlazingFurnace launched by #CommunistParty General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, in which dozens of officials and business partners of politicians have been caught up.

The high-profile purges have roiled #financial markets and #ForeignInvestor confidence and critics say the campaign has been used to target factional rivals.

Van is well-known for speaking out against state agencies and organizations.

In May 2020, he asked the chairman of the National Assembly to consider implementing parliament’s supreme supervision over court operations, through the case of death row prisoner Ho Duy Hai. He said that the Supreme Court’s verdict on Hai’s appeal was unconvincing as there were many unclear issues that concerned the public.

In November 2022, Van said National Assembly delegates needed to discuss and debate more, not just read aloud.

In November 2023, Van spoke about the #DaiNinh #hydroelectric plant project in #LamDong province. He alleged #bribes were given to government officials.

Like #China, #Vietnam is ruled by a #CommunistParty but, unlike its neighbour, it has engaged in more collective decision-making with leaders being subject to multiple checks.

But if Lam, 67, were to continue to wear both the president and party chief hats, as #XiJinping does, for some time, the Southeast Asian nation could see a more autocratic style of leadership.

In 1982, after 18 years at the head of the #CommunistParty of the #SovietUnion, M Brezhnev died., aged 75. The CPSU was controlled by the seniors; his successor M Andropov, died after 16 months, aged 69. M Chernenko who followed died 13 months later, aged 73.

The party chose the next generation younger. M Gorbachev was only 54 in 1985.

The #USSR's economy did not adapt, and the 1989 revolutions were inevitable, because old leaders had not let young ones rise.
