🇧🇷🐆🗳 — Video: During the Liberal Party (PL; Right wing/NatCon convention, convention, to announce his candidacy for re-election to the Brazilian Presidency, the Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro called his supporters in a fervent tone tocalls for an act on September 7, 2022, vowing "Take to the streets for The Last Time"

During the speech, in yet another attack on the legitimacy of the country’s Left-leaning Supreme Court, the president stated that “These deaf people in black capes (referring to the judges of the court) have to understand what the voice of the people is.”

Worth noting that September 7, 2022 is an extremely symbolic date not only for Bolsonarists, but for all Brazilians, as the day marks the 200th anniversary of the country's Declaration of Independence by Emperor Dom Pedro I against the revolutionary Portuguese government in 1822, when a "massive military parade" is expected to take place

🌍 Fertilizer crisis delivers profits and pain as Ukraine fallout broadens | https://archive.ph/RUzd3

⚪ “There is a lot of tension in the market. … It has really wreaked havoc in the fertilizer market,” said P.J. Juvekar, a Citigroup stock analyst. “The fertilizer business has fundamentally changed.”

⚪ It’s also become vital for the global economy, as the world copes with a worsening shortage of food. Developing nations this year confront a “real risk” of multiple famines and 2023 could be even worse if fertilizer proves unaffordable, according to U.N. Secretary General António Guterres.

⚪ Russia and neighboring Belarus are major sources of nitrogen fertilizers, like those produced by CF Industries, as well as phosphate and potassium products that use minerals from surface and underground mines. Ukraine is a relatively minor fertilizer producer. But it relied on Russia and Belarus for much of its needs and future deliveries are now in jeopardy, casting a cloud over next year’s harvest.

⚪ Numerous countries in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, meanwhile, rely on Russia for more than 30 percent of their imported fertilizer, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

⚪ Future harvests are at risk in sub-Saharan Africa, where before the war farmers applied much less fertilizer than the global average. Now, short supplies and near-record high prices mean they use even less, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

⚪ “The global outlook for 2023 may be even more dire. As the Russia-Ukraine war continues and the supply of fertilizer remains limited, high prices are likely to have a more profound impact on 2023 planting decisions,” the department’s Foreign Agricultural Service concluded in a report last month.

⚪ In the West African nation of Ghana, which buys half of its fertilizer from Russia, retail prices are more than five times higher than they were last year, prompting some corn and yam farmers to abandon chemicals in favor of cow dung and chicken droppings, even though that means lower crop yields and the risk of hunger.

⚪ The smaller harvests of corn, wheat, rice and soybeans that are likely to result from reduced fertilizer use would represent enough food to feed 92 million people for one year, according to Gro Intelligence, which this month introduced an online tool for modeling the impact of fertilizer shortages on individual nations.

⚪ “The fertilizer crisis is just beginning,” said Sara Menker, Gro’s CEO. “This is going to be a multiyear crisis. It’s not one-and-done.”

— "The United States condemns the Burma military regime’s execution of pro-democracy leaders for exercising their fundamental freedoms.

We call on the regime to cease its violence and release all those unjustly detained."

🇺🇸🗽 US State Department | Execution of Burma’s Pro-Democracy Leaders | 25-07-22
— "The United States condemns in the strongest terms the Burma military regime’s executions of pro-democracy activists and elected leaders Ko Jimmy, Phyo Zeya Thaw, Hla Myo Aung, and Aung Thura Zaw for the exercise of their fundamental freedoms.

These reprehensible acts of violence further exemplify the regime’s complete disregard for human rights and the rule of law.

Since the February 2021 coup, the regime has perpetuated violence against its own people, killing more than 2,100, displacing more than 700,000, and detaining thousands of innocent people, including members of civil society and journalists."

🇺🇸 Nearly one in three Americans say it may soon be necessary to take up arms against the government

🔵 A majority of Americans say the U.S. government is corrupt and almost a third say it may soon be necessary to take up arms against it, according to a new poll from the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics.
Two-thirds of Republicans and independents say the government is “corrupt and rigged against everyday people like me,” according to the poll, compared to 51 percent of liberal voters.

🔵 Twenty-eight percent of all voters, including 37 percent of gun owners, agreed “it may be necessary at some point soon for citizens to take up arms against the government,” a view held by around 35 percent of Republicans and around 35 percent of Independents. One in five Democrats concurred.

🔵 The findings come after a House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the U.S. Capitol wrapped up its final hearing for the summer, seeking to place former President Trump at the heart of efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

🔵 The panel also said Trump readily accepted and even encouraged the attack from his supporters, watching violence play out on television for nearly three hours before finally making a statement telling them to go home.

🔵 The division between conservatives and liberals across the country is only growing, the poll shows, and a quarter of Americans say they have lost friends over politics.

🇺🇸 🇱🇰 Johnstone: Our Entire Civilization Is Structured Around Keeping Us From Realizing We Can Do This

Thousands of protesters outraged by the deteriorating material conditions of the nation’s economic meltdown have stormed the presidential palace of Sri Lanka’s President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, and I guarantee you the aerial footage as they poured into the building en masse has made every government leader and plutocrat a little uncomfortable today.

Just look at that. Look at all those people flooding in there. That is some truly awe-inspiring power. Imagine how terrifying it would be to find yourself on the receiving end of it.

🇸🇦 75-mile-long mirror skyscrapers will be reportedly built in Neom city of Saudi Arabia - The Line is designed to be taller than the Empire State Building.

⚪ Last year, the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, announced his grand vision to build The Line, a linear city with skyscrapers that run for miles and house millions of people. The Wall Street Journal has now viewed plans and documents to make this happen and published details of what the project might actually look like. 

⚪ The largest exporter of crude oil, Saudi Arabia, is looking to diversify its source of income, given that the world is moving away from fossil fuels. Among its plans to do so, is building an economic hub at the "crossroads of the world" where more than 40 percent of the world's population can reach by a flight that's just a few hours. 

⚪ The ambitious plan to build a new city in the middle of nowhere to attract people and investors from around the world is expected to cost the Kingdom's treasury a trillion dollars. However, the finances may not be the biggest hurdles facing the project.

⚪ Employees at Neom are concerned that after the coronavirus pandemic, people are not very keen on staying in high-rises, while the sheer scale of the project will alter the groundwater flow in the area. 

⚪ The high-rise buildings also pose a hurdle in the path of millions of migratory birds that use the corridors every year, while the project will also displace tribal people living in the area, which are being forcibly removed to make way for the project, WSJ reported previously. 

⚪ Last year, an impact assessment report stated that the project could be completed in five decades. However, the visionary of the plan, the Crown Prince, wants it to be completed by 2030.

♻️ One of the great ironies of our time is just about how often virtually all green & environmentalist projects today cause more damage to the environment than anything else.

🇸🇦 The Line, along with Oxagon are considered part of Saudi Arabia's NEOM project. On the periphery of this is the Red Sea Development Company.

They're both part of the Saudi Vision 2030 strategic framework.
