Mistrial Declared in Kafkaesque D.C. Trial of Venezuela Embassy Protectors
2/14/2020 Mistrial Declared in Kafkaesque D.C. Trial of Venezuela Embassy Protectors EMBASSY PROTECTION COLLECTIVE Mistrial Declared in Kafkaesque D.C. Trial of Venezuela Embassy Protectors Judge Beryl Howell has declared a mistrial following a hung jury in the case of the four Venezuela Embassy Protectors charged with “interfering with the protective function of the State Department.” by Alan Macleod February 14th, 2020 By Alan Macleod Follow Facebook Twitter Reddit Email More 625 he word “Kafkaesque” is thrown around liberally in the modern era, oen without warrant. “The T Trial,” a 1925 novel written by Bohemian writer Franz Kafka, tells the story of Josef K., a man arrested and prosecuted in a nightmarish kangaroo court while unable to properly defend himself. But nearly 100 years later, another real trial took place in our modern American dystopia, one which easily qualifies for the moniker. Starting February 11, four anti-war activists, Adrienne Pine, Kevin Zeese, Margaret Flowers and David Paul, were facing a year in prison and a $100,000 fine each for interfering with the protective function https://www.mintpressnews.com/mistrial-declared-kafkaesque-trial-venezuela-embassy-protection-collective/265004/ 1/14 2/14/2020 Mistrial Declared in Kafkaesque D.C. Trial of Venezuela Embassy Protectors of the State Department. Today, despite a hostile judge and a host of constraints against the defense, prosecutors were unable to convince a jury that any crime had been committed and the events ended in a mistrial. The four are members of the Washington D.C. Venezuelan Embassy Protection Collective, a group that last year, at the behest of the government of Nicolas Maduro, entered and occupied the Venezuelan embassy for over a month. -

2020 Election Year Is an Opportunity for Transformational Change If We Embrace Our Power | Dissident Voice
4/26/2020 2020 Election Year Is an Opportunity for Transformational Change If We Embrace Our Power | Dissident Voice About DV Archives Donate Contact Us Submissions Books Links 2020 Election Year Is an Opportunity for Transformational Change If We Embrace Our Power by Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers / April 22nd, 2020 Although we do not tie our organizing to the election cycle, the 2020 election is an opportunity for the people to set the agenda for the 2020s. We need to show that whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden are elected, the people will rule from below. We need to build our power to demand the transformational we need. We are living in an opportune time, as has existed previously in the United States when many of the issues people have fought for have come to the forefront, but the two parties disregarded the people. Similar to the abolition movement in the 19th century and the progressive/socialist movement in the early 20th century, this is our moment in the 21st century for systemic changes that fundamentally alter our healthcare system, economy, foreign policy, environmental policy and more. As Kali Akuno of Cooperation Jackson said in our recent Clearing the FOG interview (available Monday), the right- wing is using this time to push through their agenda of corporate bailouts, deregulation, and worker exploitation. If the left doesn’t organize and counter this, the country will continue on its current destructive path. The changes we want won’t come from the top. Both corporate duopoly candidate’s priorities are the wealthy investor class and big business. -
Ras Al-Hamra Sub Aqua Club RAHSAC Celebrates 30 Anniversary
Ras al-Hamra Sub Aqua Club BSAC BRANCH 1299s RAHSAC celebrates 30th Anniversary On 19th May 1982 the Ras Al Hamra Sub-Aqua Club was founded as a section of the Ras Al Hamra Recreation Club and as branch 1299 of the British Sub-Aqua Club. Some people who were instrumental in the formation of the club were Richard Keech, Mike Butcher, John Elder and Frances Green. Consisting of around 15 members, the dive club had sponsorship from the Recreation Club and could buy some dive tanks, regulators and most important, a compressor. Since formation we have seen hundreds of divers passing through the club; as a club our membership tends to change every four years as people change postings. We have also trained hundreds of divers to become good divers and many up to instructor levels. The club has had its ups and downs with membership shrinking and expanding, restricted by regulations and discovering new dive sites. We have always been supported by the RAH Recreation Club and its committee with finance for equipment, boats and compressors. We have also supported the club during sailing and swimming events and other occasions. At present RAHSAC is a large healthy diving club with about 100 members, instructors, boats, compressors, gas blending facilities and everything that an adventurous diver needs. These two pictures show how the club has developed, from owning a Rubber Duck (see picture above) to operating three seaworthy dive boats. (See picture left) In May we will celebrate our 30th Birthday, a milestone in the club’s history with a celebration dinner on 16th May and with diving activities on 19th May. -

Open Letter in Support of Mediation in Venezuela, Not Sanctions
OPEN LETTER IN SUPPORT OF MEDIATION IN VENEZUELA, NOT SANCTIONS This letter was originally published by Alliance for Global Justice | ORIGINAL LETTER To view this letter online, please click here. We urge the United States and Canadian governments to immediately remove their illegal* sanctions against Venezuela and to support efforts at mediation between the government of Venezuela and the nonviolent segments of the political opposition. We, the undersigned organizations and individuals in the US and Canada, support hemispheric relations based on respect for the sovereignty of all peoples of the Americas. We are deeply concerned by the use of illegal sanctions, whose effect falls most heavily on the poorest and most marginal sectors of society, to coerce political and economic change in a sister democracy. Polls in Venezuela show that the large majority of Venezuelans oppose sanctions, regardless of their opinion of the Maduro government. Sanctions merely complicate efforts by the Vatican, Dominican Republic, and other international actors to mediate a resolution to the deep polarization in Venezuela. Moreover, sanctions undermine efforts of the democratically elected government and Constituent Assembly to address critical economic issues and determine their own political destiny. Despite the high-minded rhetoric of officials in Washington and Ottawa, it is not a genuine concern for democracy, human rights, and social justice that drives the belligerent interventionist posture towards Caracas. From President Obama’s admittedly untrue presidential decree that Venezuela represents a national security threat to the United States, to UN Ambassador Nikki Haley’s declaration that Venezuela is “an increasingly violent narco-state” that threatens the world, the use of hyperbole in diplomatic situations seldom contributes to peaceful solutions on the world stage. -

Washington, D.C. — The federal charge of “interfering with certain protective functions” levied against four members of the Embassy Protection Collective was formally dropped today in a hearing before Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell in U.S. District Court. The defendants are Adrienne Pine, David Paul, Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers. They were arrested on May 16, 2019, when federal police raided the Venezuelan Embassy in violation of the Vienna Convention, which requires host countries to protect embassies and restricts them from entering without permission from the sovereign government. www.afgazad.com 1 [email protected] Left to right: David Paul, Dr. Margaret Flowers, Adrienne Pine and Kevin Zeese outside the courthouse prior to the February trial. Judge Howell sentenced the Embassy Protection Collective to no jail time. After a jury refused to convict them in February, resulting in a mistrial, the prosecutors offered to drop the federal charge and substitute a minor local misdemeanor charge of causing a disturbance. The protectors faced a year in jail and $100,000 fine each. They are now on six months of probation.
