We stand in solidarity with our fellow campaigner Antonio Tricarico and his colleagues at ReCommon. It appears Italian fossil fuel giant Eni is trying to silence critical voices. Eni has pressed charges against Tricarico in relation to statements he made on the RAI program Report on May 5th, 2024. He is now under investigation by the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office on charges of alleged defamation of the company in the press. Speaking to journalist Daniele Autieri, Tricarico highlighted the timing overlap between Eni receiving the mining license of the giant gas field of Zohr off the Egyptian coast, and the dramatic kidnapping, torture and killing of university researcher Giulio Regeni by security forces in Cairo. Tricarico made a fact-based assertion. The second Report broadcast on November 17 reiterated that, citing confidential Eni documents that also addressed the timing of the two events. The accusation against Antonio Tricarico, therefore, appears to be the latest in a series of attacks against a strong critical voice that is not afraid to speak uncomfortable truths, such as the tragic Regeni case. It shows that Big Oil is not only a threat to our climate but also a threat to democracy and free speech.

Finally: the real discussion, the real reason
Shame on international energy companies for engaging in war pillaging off Gaza's coast! Despite warnings and legal threats from Palestinian NGOs, including Al Haq, the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, and Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights, companies like Italian Eni, UK Dana Energy, and Israeli Ratio Petroleum persist in pursuing exploration rights granted by Israel's Ministry of Energy. These actions blatantly violate established maritime boundaries declared by Palestine in accordance with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Rights groups are threatening to take legal action against the companies and would use "all legal mechanisms to the fullest extent" if they proceeded and called on them to desist from any activities relating to the licenses.

🕊️❤️🌎 ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN, NOT MY EMPLOYER'S. I DO NOT REPRESENT OR SPEAK FOR MY EMPLOYER. Agile Software Development & Product Management Professional.
My fellow Americans, please wake up. OUR government is making us complicit in Israel’s ethnic cleansing & genocide, because Israel couldn’t continue without the weapons, ammunition, funding, & U.N. veto protection that WE keep providing. According to our own U.S. military, Israel has killed OVER 25,000 WOMEN & CHILDREN in the past 5 months: https://lnkd.in/gaMEPKSn Can you imagine how big a pile of 25,000 dead women & children would be? If you do the math, they would fill between 1 & 2 Olympic swimming pools. And OUR taxes are helping pay for it & it’s getting bigger every day. Israel has also orphaned over 30,000 children, & has demolished the homes of around 1 million children, making them homeless during winter. And Israel is still blocking aid to these children, KILLING THEM WITH STARVATION, DEHYDRATION, & DISEASE, in addition to U.S. supplied bombs. Are you going to tell your children & grandchildren that you stood by & said nothing while OUR GOVERNMENT, WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS, HELPED MURDER TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN IN THE MOST CRUEL & HORRIFYING WAYS? And if anyone still doubts that Israel is committing genocide, please listen to these Jewish professors explain why it is: 1) Jewish Israeli Holocaust and genocide scholar, Professor Raz Sega, explaining what genocide is and why he calls what Israel is doing, “textbook genocide” (16 mins): https://lnkd.in/gSZVTaDY And here he is, explaining Friday’s ICJ interim ruling: https://lnkd.in/gYpkU3ah 2) Jewish-American Prof. Jeffrey Sachs explaining how Israel is continuing its genocide in Gaza, blatantly ignoring the U.N. International Court of Justice. He also explains how we, the U.S., are complicit in this genocide for funding it & providing the weapons, & how Israel is trying to get us into a war with Iran, against our national interests (8 mins from Feb 17, 2024 interview): https://lnkd.in/gNHwwyhJ 3) Prof. Barry Trachtenberg, a Holocaust & genocide historian and head of the Jewish Studies department at Wake Forest University, testifying under oath in U.S. federal genocide lawsuit against Biden: https://lnkd.in/g5hEgT8r And here is award-winning Jewish-American journalist, Glenn Greenwald, explaining the evidence of Israel’s many war crimes, including bombing “safe zones'' after they ordered civilians to go there. Civilians that include women, children, pregnant women, elderly, & disabled. He lays out the indisputable evidence that these war crimes have been intentional (from Dec 23, 2023): https://lnkd.in/gavyg7E9 Finally, please listen to renowned University of Chicago Prof. John Mearsheimer explaining why our government does whatever #Israel / AIPAC wants against our national interests: https://lnkd.in/gQrBHwR7

The Solution is here and ready for the Federal, State governments and Private industry to start using for their #LowLevelNuclearWaste Tellus
“Welcome to Sandy Ridge – Australia’s first geological repository.” Tellus CEO Nate Smith: "In the past year we've accepted 6,000 cubic metres of radioactive material and in this entire cell we've accepted 100,000 tonnes of combined low-level radioactive waste and chemical waste." Paula Berghofer, ANSTO: "We have almost 10,000 red drums of low-level solid radioactive waste." Emeritus Professor at Griffith University, Ian Lowe: “Wherever governments have tried to decide on a site and then impose it on a community, the proposal has fallen over.” Federal Minister for Resources and Northern Australia, the Hon Madeleine King: "We can't ignore the fact that in Western Australia, there now exists a disposal site for low-level radioactive waste that has all the permits, all the approvals, and everything it needs to do to operate safely." Watch the full Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) 730 story here: https://lnkd.in/gXkjGxAu Special thanks to Angelique Donnellan for sharing our story with Australia.
