Major Hurricane Melissa
#Jamaica, #Haiti, #DominicanRepublic, #Cuba, #Bahamas and the #Turks and #Caicos
Do not venture out of your safe shelter. Catastrophic and life-threatening #FlashFlooding and numerous #landslides are likely today (27 October) through Tuesday. Destructive #winds, especially in the mountains, will begin by this evening, leading to extensive infrastructural damage, long-lasting #power and #communication #outages, and isolated communities. Life-threatening #StormSurge and damaging waves are expected along the southern coast through Tuesday.
Local more than 1000 mm precipitation is possible!!
[Meanwhile... The US Gov is focusing on #FossilsFuels and calling #ClimateChange a hoax...]

Has anyone written about how the same international governance actors who “secured” Haiti are proposing this model for Palestine?

The country may be going through a crisis that is invisible to the outside world, which prefers to reduce the country to a chronically unviable nation, where aid efforts are useless. But the so-called “poorest country in the Western Hemisphere” – another label that reinforces the notion of impotence of those who see it from the outside – shows that it is developing solutions to its own problems and has much to teach the rest of the world.

Today in Labor History July 14, 1789: Parisians stormed the Bastille during the French Revolution. The Bastille was a fortress, armory and political prison, and was a symbol of tyranny, feudal authority and the "divine" rights of kings. The Marquis de Sade had been imprisoned there and was transferred out only 10 days before the storming. The French Revolution succeeded in overthrowing the monarchy, replacing it with a bourgeois republic. However, it sparked optimism among working people throughout the world and inspired other revolutions, like the Haitian Revolution, in 1791.
