#ThackerPass #protesters seek dismissal of lawsuit by #LithiumNevada on #freespeech grounds

By: Bob Conrad, August 23, 2023

"The Thacker Pass protesters who were hit with a lawsuit filed by Lithium Nevada are seeking to get the case dismissed. The defendants last week filed a motion to dismiss the case claiming they were exercising their right to free speech.

"Lithium Nevada, which is building the Thacker Pass lithium mine, sued the protesters in late June.

"The company said activists and members of the Fort McDermitt Paiute #Shoshone Tribe have attempted to block construction at the mine site.

"'Despite multiple warnings from law enforcement not to block public roads, Defendants have continued to do so,' the lawsuit alleges. 'Indeed, Defendants have proudly broadcasted their defiance of law enforcement on social media.

"The defendants disagreed with Lithium Nevada’s claims.

"'The Defendants opted to exercise their constitutional rights and went to the Mine site to pray for their ancestors as #LNC destroyed those ancestors’ final resting places, destroyed culturally significant lands formerly used for subsistence and self-preservation,' they wrote in their motion. 'It is appropriate to analyze whether LNC has established the elements of its claims for relief within the limitations imposed by the First Amendment.'

"They also disputed LNC’s claims of violence and vandalism.

"'As a #sacred site is being bulldozed, non-violent protesters are being criminalized by a foreign mining company,' said attorney Terry Lodge, representing the defendants. 'My clients were engaged in #protest that is clearly protected by the U.S. Constitution. This is #corporate greed and bullying.'"

I love working with sacred symbolism. The Tree Of Life is important in many mythological, religious and philosophical traditions. This one has mandalas arranged in a Chakra configuration.

I think that #asylum needs to be thought of as something #sacred. I haven't quite worked this out yet.

There is the basic necessity of a system of asylum. To believe in asylum is to believe in freedom. It is to accept that an individual who does not fit into the community of her nativity can flee. It is to believe that we cannot be forced to conform by tyrannical masters or norms, that the individual can escape authority.

That is not yet sacrosanct. There are two more aspects. The first is a sort of Fregean context principle but applied to people and communities. Never ask after the meaning of an individual in isolation from the community. Just as the significance of a word is its contribution to the significance of sentences in which it can occur, a person is fundamentally part of community. But see above, there are only sentences because there are words and there are only communities because there are individuals. It is the individuals who count.

The second is that a person outside of a legal system is without standing, without protection and, because of the context principle, has lost her personhood. On a very practical level, the asylum seeker is outside the protection of the law but subject to its force. Border spaces are so violent not because people on the move are criminalised, the criminal can expect due process, but because they are outlawed. You can do anything to a non-person. (All classic #Arendt.)

So we need a process of asylum to bring people in, to end exile, which must then be a sort of rebirth, a new beginning, a rupture. It must be inviolable and unconditional, or perhaps only conditioned on need. We cannot regulate people's mobility, accepting claims only from those who apply through the appropriate channels or travel on '#SafeRoutes' as the #UK establishment wish. Instead we must respond to the unconditional need of the person who has no legal standing and bring her in so that she can be remade. That is something sacred

Another piece I created for The Indigenous Diabetes Health Circle of Canada.

The Medicine Wheel has been used by generations of various Native American tribes for health and healing. It embodies the 4 Directions, as well as Father Sky, Mother Earth, and Spirit Tree—all of which symbolize dimensions of health and the cycles of life.

P(r)aying for #Religion? #Religious Priming in #Financial Contracts

What happens when financial contracts contain religious statements? Financial prospectuses and contractual documentation of #Islamic bonds often refer to #sacred principles in unambiguous terms. We show that the use of religious references in these contracts is priced by investors. In general, religious priming leads to a reduction in the yield paid by issuers.

That song is still badass.

This iconic #indigenous themed display in #kingsdomain #melbourne #australia is breathtaking, for mine.

The respect for aboriginal rights and indigenous equality is strong in these parts.

What better way to celebrate such vital aspects of modern Australia than to display such magnificent art within the heartland of the city’s botanic and recreation areas?

The eyes of these children are filled with hope, happiness and compassion.

I have a strong sense the voice of a nation is making lasting strides, for the better.

For ‘ALL’.

The #Na̱mǥis #FirstNation located in #AlertBay on #BritishColumbia #WestCoast has relied on #salmon as a main #FoodSource for thousands of years.
Salmon are #sacred for #Indigenous people living there, but that #legacy is now #threatened by long-term consequences of #industrial #FishFarms over the last 3 decades.

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland: new #OilAndGas #leases will not be permitted on #publiclands in and around the #ChacoCanyon National Historical #Park in New Mexico. The ban will be in effect for 20 years but only affects new leases. It comes after decades of #organizing by #Indigenousgroups, which consider Chaco Canyon a #sacred site.

@TatianaIlyina Modernity separates us from the natural world. We hear the words at funerals, "dust to dust", but don't believe it. Our needs are mediated entirely by currency. We need to recapture our dependence on the natural world. Perhaps even the sacredness of creation. Then, possibly, we might not stop desecrating each other and creation.
