Earlier this week, Turkey’s Constitutional Court reviewed the “super permit” law, passed in July, which opens olive groves, forests, pastures and water sources to mining and energy companies.

A massive threat to nature and people’s future.

The first image shows a lush green mountain slope dotted with yellow flowers, with text reading: “Turkey’s top court just reviewed one of the most dangerous laws in its history.” The second image shows a coal power plant with large cooling towers emitting smoke, with text reading: “A ‘super permit’ law that hands people’s land, water and forests to corporate exploitation.” © Umut Vedat / Greenpeace

It was inevitable that, without needed change and reform, the War on Terror would swing back to America

It’s the march of capitalism and its reliance on hidden and then overt authoritarianism. We can see where this is going by looking at what we did to others, and so we must band together with them
