<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><span style="box-shadow: rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 1px 0px, rgb(17, 17, 17) 0px 4px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: TIActuBeta-ExBold_web, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.1em; text-transform: uppercase;">HOW WHITE AMERICANS</span> view their country — and their president — appears to be almost split down the middle. In a <a href="https://twitter.com/JohnJHarwood/status/920014629081841664" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;">recent Gallup poll</a>, 49 percent of white Americans said they do not approve of President Donald Trump’s job performance. Anecdotally, the number sounds high, and I suspect it’s because far too many white Americans have a passive, almost silent disapproval of Trump. They might disapprove, but they aren’t saying so out loud; they simply don’t use their voices, their influence, or their privilege to call Trump out the way he truly deserves.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">Enter Gregg Popovich, head coach of the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">At a time when black athletes and even black sports reporters are being targeted by Trump, Popovich has spent much of the past year stepping outside of his normally reserved role to use his white privilege in ways perhaps no white man in sports ever has.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">On Monday evening, <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/a-soulless-coward-coach-gregg-popovich-responds-to-trump/" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;">in a conversation with The Nation’s Dave Zirin</a>, Popovich decided to call Trump out with the clearest ferocity anyone could muster. Hours earlier, Trump had said former presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush had never called families of fallen soldiers. The lie clearly incensed Popovich — himself an Air Force veteran.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">Before the conversation began, Popovich said, “I want to say something, and please just let me talk, and please make sure this is on the record.” He then continued:</span></div>
<blockquote style="box-shadow: rgb(204, 204, 204) -6px 0px 0px -5px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SwiftNeueLTW01-Italic, Georgia, serif; font-style: italic; margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 1em;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SwiftNeueLTW01, Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">I’ve been amazed and disappointed by so much of what this president had said, and his approach to running this country, which seems to be one of just a never ending divisiveness. But his comments today about those who have lost loved ones in times of war and his lies that previous presidents Obama and Bush never contacted their families are so beyond the pale, I almost don’t have the words.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />…<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />This man in the Oval Office is a soulless coward who thinks that he can only become large by belittling others. This has of course been a common practice of his, but to do it in this manner — and to lie about how previous presidents responded to the deaths of soldiers — is as low as it gets. We have a pathological liar in the White House, unfit intellectually, emotionally, and psychologically to hold this office, and the whole world knows it, especially those around him every day. The people who work with this president should be ashamed, because they know better than anyone just how unfit he is, and yet they choose to do nothing about it. This is their shame most of all.</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">The coach then said “bye” to Zirin and hung up.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">Popovich’s statement was remarkable even outside the context of the sports world. Few public figures in American life have called out Trump and those who enable him with the same ferocity.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">It seems like Popovich feels he has to say these things — not just because those around Trump won’t, but because he sees African-Americans ranging from Colin Kaepernick to ESPN’s Jemele Hill paying an enormous price in their careers because of Trump and his ilk. Popovich is fully aware that to be black and call out Trump comes with a cost — a cost that being white and calling out Trump does not incur. Trump has still refused to acknowledge or mention either Popovich or the white rapper <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/eminems-takedown-of-trump-in-the-age-of-angry-white-men" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;">Eminem</a> — both of whom recently lambasted the president in harsh terms.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">Popovich is not wasting his white privilege, but is using it for good — and not just by critiquing Trump, but by promoting essential conversations on race. This past September, Popovich tackled the issue of race and white privilege head on.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">“Race is the elephant in the room, and we all understand that,” Popovich said at a recent press conference, addressing Kaepernick and the NFL protests. “But unless it is talked about constantly, it’s not going get better.” Popovich went on:</span></div>
<blockquote style="box-shadow: rgb(204, 204, 204) -6px 0px 0px -5px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SwiftNeueLTW01-Italic, Georgia, serif; font-style: italic; margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 1em;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SwiftNeueLTW01, Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">There has to be an uncomfortable element in the discourse for anything to change. Whether it’s the LGBT movement, or women’s suffrage, race, it doesn’t matter. People have to be made to feel uncomfortable. And especially white people, because we’re comfortable.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SwiftNeueLTW01, Georgia, serif; font-style: normal; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">We still have no clue what being born white means. … Yes, because you were born white, you have advantages that are systemically, culturally, psychologically there. And they’ve been built up and cemented for hundreds of years. But many people can’t look at it. It’s too difficult. It can’t be something that is on their plate on a daily basis. People want to hold their position, people want the status quo, people don’t want to give that up. And until it’s given up, it’s not going be fixed.</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">I don’t just love sports — I’m obsessed with sports. And I am fairly certain that no white coach or player in the history of American sports has ever spoken with such clarity on white privilege as Popovich did right there. Period.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">And this wasn’t the first time Popovich waded into the issues of race and racism in America. In an obscure Black History Month <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-761163816/gregg-popovich-on-black-history" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;">interview</a> from this past February, he leaned in. “I think if people take the time to think about it,” Popovich said about racism, “I think it is our national sin.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">“If you were born white, you automatically have a monstrous advantage — educationally, economically, culturally, in this society and all the systemic roadblocks that exist, whether it’s in a judicial sense, or a neighborhood sense with laws, zoning, education,” he went on. “We have huge problems in that regard that are very complicated, but take leadership, time, and real concern to try to solve. It’s a tough one because people don’t really want to face it.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><iframe frameborder="no" height="400" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?visual=true&url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F305852658&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=500&maxheight=750" style="box-sizing: border-box;" width="500"></iframe></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">Popovich did not get here overnight. While he has spent the bulk of his life coaching and mentoring young black men, not all sports coaches have come this far. One thing NFL coaches and general managers have taught us is that physical proximity to blackness does not necessarily amount to understanding. On the other hand, Popovich has made a personal investment to understand what he’s talking about — he has suggested in his remarks that he spends some of his spare time reading about race theory. That may explain why it has taken so long for him to speak out like this.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">However Popovich got here, his arrival is welcome.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">In America, the primary voices calling out discrimination are its victims. Just as women tend to more frequently call out sexism and Muslims tend to be the leading voices against Islamophobia, the primary voices calling out racism are African-Americans. And I get that: For the objects of discrimination, calling it out isn’t merely about justice, it’s about survival.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;">But this is also why so little changes about the substance and systems of discrimination and bigotry in America. Until those who actually benefit most from racism, sexism, classism, and other forms of bigotry speak up and speak out, those systems are likely to remain in place. Popovich gets this. Now we need other white folks to get it, too.</span></div>

Gina Luster bathed her child in lukewarm bottled water, emptied
bottle by bottle into the tub, for months. It became a game for her
seven-year-old daughter. Pop the top off a bottle, and pour it into the
tub. It takes about 30 minutes for a child to fill a tub this way. Pop
the top, pour it in; pop the top, pour it in. Maybe less if you can get
gallon jugs.<br />
<br />
Luster lives in Flint, <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/michigan">Michigan</a>, and here, residents believe tap water is good for one thing: to flush the toilet.<br />
<br />
“I don’t even water my plants with it,” she said. <br />
<br />
Flint became synonymous with lead-poisoned water after government
officials, looking to save money, switched the city’s water supply from
Detroit city water to water from the corrosive Flint river. <br />
<br />
Once the city had switched, the number of children with <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4985856/">elevated lead exposure doubled</a>; residents reported unexplained rashes and losing hair.

Suddenly, Flint was a <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jan/29/its-great-celebrities-are-helping-in-flint-but-the-government-should-do-its-job">cause célèbre</a>.

Media outlets across the country started examining their <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/sep/12/pittsburgh-water-expensive-rust-colored-corrosive">own towns</a> for lead.<br />
<br />
Despite having endured lead-laden tap water for years, Flint pays
some of the highest water rates in the US. Several residents cited bills
upwards of $200 per month for tap water they refuse to touch.<br />
<br />
But just two hours away, in the tiny town of Evart, creeks lined by
wildflowers run with clear water. The town is so small, the fairground,
McDonald’s, high school and church are all within a block. But in a town
of only 1,503 people, there are a dozen wells pumping water from the
underground aquifer. This is where the beverage giant Nestlé pumps
almost 100,000 times what an <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2015/09/database_search_water_use_tota.html?appSession=4975Z5P82T0Y7A6482H589Z19T8F6ID5FU7064O6K33Y7FU1AJN22JXN3ZYV3XAD40W72Y9DR0TO0FCYE74V3E2HL6SSG124CR51ZS0MZHF230OM211TM91565GUG6IF">average Michigan resident</a> uses into plastic bottles that are sold all over the midwest for around $1.<br />
To use this natural resource, <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/nestle">Nestlé</a> pays $200 per year.<br />

Now, Nestlé wants more Michigan water. In a recent permit
application, the company asked to pump 210m gallons per year from Evart,
a 60% increase, and for no more than it pays today. In the coming
months, the state is set to decide<strong> </strong>whether Nestlé can to pump even more. <br />
The proximity of the Nestlé plant to Flint’s degraded public water
supply has some Michigan residents asking: why do we get undrinkable,
unaffordable tap water, when the world’s largest food and beverage
company, Nestlé, bottles the state’s most precious resource for next to
nothing?<br />
<h2>
‘Don’t seem right’</h2>
“It’s almost like a civics class for us Flint folks,” said Luster.
“You shouldn’t be able to profit off of water – it’s free. It came out
of the ground.” <br />
<br />
Free water is not uncommon. In the US, water has traditionally been
free for companies and people to use – it’s the government
infrastructure that cleans and delivers people safe water that costs
money. The government infrastructure is what failed in Flint.<br />
<br />
Still, in Michigan, what people have a problem with is a company
bottling the state’s water and selling it back to people who, through no
fault of their own, are completely dependent on it. <br />
Bottled water is “a necessity of life right now”, said Chuck
Wolverton, a Flint resident. He won’t touch his tap water. He drives 15
miles outside of town to his brother’s house to shower every night,
where he often also washes his clothes. His water bill, he said, was
around $180 per month. “I don’t even give it to my dogs.”<br />

“Don’t seem right, because they’re making profits off of it,”
Wolverton said, with several fresh cases of bottled water in the back of
his car. <br />
“With the money they make, they could come and fix Flint – and I mean
the water plants and our pipes,” Luster said of Nestlé. “Me and you
wouldn’t even be having this conversation.”<br />
Activists here, such as Luster, see Nestlé’s bottling plant and
Flint’s tainted water and Detroit’s mass water shutoffs as connected –
part of an “ecosystem” (as Luster calls it) meant to put water into
private hands. <br />
<h2>
‘Sustainable water practices’</h2>
In 2017, bottled water became the most consumed bottled beverage in North America, due in part to fears of <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jun/02/lead-water-testing-cheats-chicago-boston-philadelphia">lead-tainted water</a> and concerns about the <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jul/21/sugary-drinks-may-cause-type-2-diabetes-regardless-of-size-research-says">negative health effects</a> of sugary beverages, <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bottled-water-sales-outpace-soda-for-the-first-time/">analysts said</a>. <br />
<br />
Nestlé had <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.nestle.com/investors/annual-report">$92bn</a> in sales in 2016, and $7.4bn from water alone. Nevertheless, the company pays nothing for the <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/05/michigan-nestle-water-extraction-residents">150 gallons per minute</a> it already pumps from the ground in central Michigan. The $200 per year is just an administration fee. <br />
<br />
“We’re not saying give everyone a new car, a new home. We’re just
asking for our water treatment,” Luster said. “That’s a no-brainer.”<br />
<br />
Nestlé doesn’t bicker with the price it gets water at, but it does
maintain that when it turns Evart water into brands like Nestlé Pure
Life and Ice Mountain, it is being a steward of the environment. <br />
The company has 52 bottled water brands altogether, including some of
the best known in the world – Poland Spring, Perrier, San Pellegrino. <br />

“Nestlé promotes sustainable water practices throughout its operations,” said the company’s <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.nestle.com/investors/annual-report/water">2016 annual report</a>.
“For Nestlé Waters, this starts at the source with engagement
activities with local communities to ensure the sustainability of our
shared public water resources.”<br />
<br />
Many people in Evart would probably <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/24/business/nestle-michigan-water.html?mcubz=1">disagree</a>, and they’re hardly alone. A small town in Canada was recently disappointed that it was <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/24/canada-nestle-water-well-bid-centre-wellington">outbid by Nestlé</a>
in a bid to fund a long-term water source for the town. And
environmentalists in California are watching closely whether Nestlé can
continue to pump water – for $524 – out of <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/environment/2016/09/21/nestle-lawsuit-judge-ruling/90791204/">San Bernardino national forest</a> on a permit that expired nearly 30 years ago. <br />
<br />
Further, Nestlé’s annual report does not address plastic pollution: a problem piling up at <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jun/28/a-million-a-minute-worlds-plastic-bottle-binge-as-dangerous-as-climate-change">one million bottles per minute</a>
according to a Guardian analysis. Some campaigners believe plastic
pollution to be the most significant environmental problem behind
climate change. Studies have also begun to find plastic pollution in the
food chain – in <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/feb/14/sea-to-plate-plastic-got-into-fish">fish</a>, <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/sep/08/sea-salt-around-world-contaminated-by-plastic-studies">salt</a>, <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19440049.2013.843025">honey</a>, <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/19440049.2014.945099?journalCode=tfac20&">beer</a> and <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/sep/06/plastic-fibres-found-tap-water-around-world-study-reveals">tap water</a>.<br />

<h2>
A social justice issue</h2>
Michigan’s water conflicts, with Nestlé as a new focal point, have begun to attract broad social justice campaigns. <br />
<br />
The Rev Dr William Barber II, a powerhouse preacher sometimes
compared to Dr Martin Luther King Jr for his ability to weave together
left-leaning politics and Christian teachings, trained some of
Michigan’s local water activists in August. Many said they were directly
politicized by rolling water crises in Flint and Detroit. <br />
<br />
“One of the reasons we’re here today,” said Barber, standing
backstage in a community college in Detroit, was “this water crisis”. <br />
<br />
Social justice groups focused on water in Michigan have become an increasingly powerful force. Protesters pushed for <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2017/01/nestle_water_opponents_push_fo.html">public hearings</a> on Nestlé’s permit in January. Residents in Flint agitated for <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2017/02/residents_fear_state_plans_to.html">continued state support</a> in February. Activists in Detroit blocked city contractors from shutting off residents’ water, and <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jul/20/detroit-water-shutoffs-marian-kramer-bill-wylie-kellermann">won a reprieve</a> when a judge dismissed charges against them. <br />
<br />
Politicians are also entering the fray. The Michigan state
representative Tim Sneller and colleagues asked the Michigan department
of environmental quality (MDEQ) not to approve Nestlé’s permit.<br />
“Now, I firmly support economic development in our state, and I
recognize the extent to which Nestlé Waters’ presence in Michigan has <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.mlive.com/news/index.ssf/2016/12/inside_nestle_ice_mountain.html">helped our economy</a>,” Sneller said, in an <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.mlive.com/opinion/index.ssf/2017/04/defend_the_value_of_michigan_w.html">opinion article</a>
in April. “However, there needs to be a balance between the economic
benefit of Nestlé and the responsibility of the MDEQ to protect
Michigan’s environment and natural resources.”<br />
<br />
On Friday, activists from Flint will join activists from Evart, where
Nestlé pumps water. They will be joined by groups from Detroit, where
people are having their water shut off, from north of the border, where
the social justice group Council of Canadians is based, and from
indigenous communities around the Great Lakes. Together, they want to
promote a “water summit” on “human rights and water sovereignty”.<br />
<br />
“When it comes to water, we should be working within the government
to make that as cheap as possible,” Barber said. “Privatizing that which
the lord created is just wrong”.<br />
Where Barber spoke, in Detroit, water still technically belongs to the city’s residents. But in neighborhoods where <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jul/20/detroit-water-shutoffs-marian-kramer-bill-wylie-kellermann">one in five</a> homes had their water shut off last year, it is anything but affordable.<br />
<h2>
‘Water is not affordable to us’</h2>
Nicole Hill, a mother of three, has her water shut off every few months. It still costs “more than $200 a month”.<br />
<br />
The first time her water was shut off, she said, “I get up, I make
them breakfast, I take them to school, I come back to wash the dishes
and no water comes out the faucet.”<br />
That was in 2014, when <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.bridgemi.com/detroit-journalism-cooperative/detroit-cites-progress-water-shutoffs-actually-rose-last-year">33,000 homes</a>
in Detroit had their water shut off. She was one of thousands who were
part of a city “blitz” that shut off water to delinquent accounts. Last
year, <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.bridgemi.com/detroit-journalism-cooperative/detroit-cites-progress-water-shutoffs-actually-rose-last-year">27,000 homes in Detroit</a> had their water shut off.<br />
<br />
Hill went so far as to file <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.courthousenews.com/sixth-circuit-finds-no-right-to-affordable-water/">a class action</a>
lawsuit to try to secure her community’s right to affordable water. She
lost in a lower court and appealed. Last year, a panel of three federal
judges ruled against her, writing: “A right of this nature is not
rooted in our nation’s traditions.”<br />
Valerie Jean, a mother of five, bonded with her neighbors after her
entire block was cut off from water when multiple residents fell behind
on their bills. Still struggling, Jean perpetually seems to have a blue
stripe in front of her home, a kind of scarlet letter painted on front
yards by city workers to highlight a home’s water access point. That
makes it easier to shut water off. <br />
“When they shut off a whole community, it shows water is not affordable to us,” said Jean.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Rev Dr William J Barber II at the Poor People’s Campaign mass meeting at Wayne County Community College." class="gu-image" itemprop="contentUrl" src="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/ee091649ec166b6d7b6b57f91f8efadfefdb0050/0_0_4050_2430/master/4050.jpg?w=300&q=55&auto=format&usm=12&fit=max&s=25e24a477ef074201c9e198bf5cc34cd" /><br />
<br />
Barber spoke to a crowd of hundreds in Detroit, with 11,000 more people watching online. The rally was not just about raising spirits. It was part of the Poor People’s Campaign, a “moral revival” organized by Barber and his co-chair, the Rev Dr Liz Theoharis, to train impoverished Americans to be activists.<br />
<br />
Barber is a tall, stout man with a teeter-totter gait. He’s got hands
the size of a bear’s and builds his speeches like a fire – nurturing a
spark into a cheering, song-singing, burn-the-house-down blaze. <br />
<br />
“The prophet said, ‘Take away your prayers, take away your sacrifice –
if you want to please me, let justice roll down like water!’”<br />
Barber started with a cold crowd, but some were soon in tears, and
answered calls in unison – “Forward together!” Barber yelled. “Not one
step back!” the crowd shouted back.<br />
“Forward together!” <br />
“Not one step back!”<br />
<br />
In April 2014, Flint switched from Detroit city water to the
corrosive water in the Flint river. Luster remembers – it happened on
her daughter’s birthday. She and her nine-year-old daughter (then seven)
quickly became sick. By July, she had collapsed at her job as a retail
manager. Even today, strange, unexplained health effects remain.<br />
<br />
Luster, 43, has had part of her uterus removed, an unexplained
abscess taken from her left breast, and a lymph node removed from her
right underarm and back. She has lost a five-gallon bag’s worth of hair.
<br />
<br />
Now, she is a full-time organizer with Flint Rising, and is
considering law school. And almost two years after the crisis made
national headlines, Luster still does everything in her Flint home with
bottled water – cooking, washing hands, and even seemingly innocuous
tasks, like ironing. She filters bottled water to drink.<br />
<br />
By this summer, the state of Michigan alone will have provided 157m
bottles of water to Flint and counting. Once, a news crew counted how
many 16.9-ounce bottles Luster’s household used in a day – <a class="u-underline in-body-link--immersive" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/05/us/flint-family-number-daily-bottles-of-water/index.html">151</a>. “So now you see, when I see a bottle of water, I don’t see, ‘Let me go get a drink.’”</div>

<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #ffd966;"> Facts: <br />
Oil companies are allowed to defer their tax payments without paying
Interest (like the rest of us) for up to 20 years, which not only drops
their taxes from 24% to as low as 11.7% - 3.7%, it increases the Federal
Debt<br /> (most of us pay at least 10% - 15%)<br /> Oil companies receive major subsidies from the tax-payers<br /> In 2012 the 5 largest oil companies made $104 Billion in PROFITS<br /> They receive a tax deduction for: tertiary injectants, drilling costs, & a "depletion" allowance<br /> They use "Last In-First Out" accounting; so their inventory is taxed on the oldest & cheapest priced barrels<br /> Restructuring the business into a Domestic Partnership </span></span><br />

poisoned food, and natural disasters?<br /> Why are you Not Angry at
Clinton for negating the Glass-Steagall Act, which prohibited commercial
banks from engaging in the Business of Investments (which means using
Your money [not theirs] to make more money for themselves)?<br /> Why
are you not angry at the government spending $4.79 trillion on the
Middle East war(s) all based on our hostile take-over of the Middle
East's oil, mineral, & opiate resources?<br /> Why are you not angry that the NFL does not pay taxes & also receives billions of $$$ in subsidies?<br />
Why are you not angry that the government uses your tax dollars to
subsidize Drug Companies but angry that they subsidize Health Insurance
for people who pay taxes?</span></span><br />

However, the American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) has argued that the bill would “impose
civil and criminal punishment on individuals
solely because of their political beliefs about
Israel and its policies”, in a letter sent to
members of the Senate.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d; color: #9fc5e8; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">“In
short, the bill would punish businesses and
individuals solely based on their point of
view,” it wrote. “Such a penalty is in direct
violation of the First Amendment.”</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"> <span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">Democratic Senator Gary Peters of Michigan
responded by asking: “What’s the Act?”</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d; color: #9fc5e8; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">Senator
Claire McCaskill claimed she had not read the
ACLU letter, but would “take their position into
consideration, just like I take everybody’s
position into consideration”.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d; color: #9fc5e8; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">
Meanwhile, Senator Benjamin Cardin – the bill’s
primary sponsor – said that he “doesn’t think”
the bill criminalises participating in boycotts,
as the ACLU has claimed.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d; color: #9fc5e8; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: large;">“We are
very sensitive to freedom of speech; we are very
sensitive to people having different views,” he
said. “We’re not trying to weigh in at all on
the differences between the Palestinians and the
Israelis.”</span><br />

A new bill in front of Congress literally makes political activism
highly illegal. It's aimed at the BDS movement fighting for divestment
from Israel. But it opens the door to just about any political speech
and activism being called criminal. This is and INCREDIBLY dangerous
bill and now is the time to act! <br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ikNZwkY9MY&feature=share" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ikNZwkY9MY&feature=share</a></span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I remember back in high school, all the "Jesus Freaks" yammering on & on & on ad nauseum about Revelations and the <i>End of the World</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img alt="Image result for end of the world" height="213" src="http://religiondispatches.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-1.06.24-PM-690x460.jpg" width="320" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Seriously, I never thought I'd be alive to see any of that prophecy come to fruition, well not in my life time...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I became (very much) older, I met & spent time with several Native American Wicasa Wakan (Holy Men, although they would tell you they were nothing of the sort). Needless to say every now and again, they would tell me something about these events that are now taking place. </span><br />
<a href="http://www.pueblopotteryme.com/portraits/WallaceBlackElk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Related image" border="0" height="320" src="http://www.pueblopotteryme.com/portraits/WallaceBlackElk.jpg" width="220" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now these guys were not into "worshiping" no white man's god nor did they believe in heaven or hell. Reason being, is it was widely known, by ways of traditional teaching, that there was no heaven or hell; and the "Real" world was the Spirit World, where one would go upon shedding their human envelope. There upon entering the Spirit World, one would either be allowed to stay or one would be sent back to do whatever it was they failed to originally do. So it was that way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As for Yeshua ben Yosef ("jesus").... he was a Jew. Period. If we believe what is historically & factually known about him: He studied in the temple w/ the "Learned" men; and he believed, practiced, and taught the Jewish "religion"... So again that made him? A Rabbi!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Being a Rabbi is not the same thing as being "christian"......<br /><br /><span style="background-color: #20124d;">In fact, Yeshua ben Yosef would have believed in the 10 Laws of the Jews: 10 Commandments... especially Exodus 20:4, which states: ".....</span></span><span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "monotype corsiva" , "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: 22px; font-style: italic; text-align: justify;">“</span><span style="font-family: "monotype corsiva" , "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: 22px; text-align: justify;"><u>You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. </u></span><span style="font-family: "monotype corsiva" , "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: 22px; font-style: italic; text-align: justify;">For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,..." </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">[source: </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><a href="http://www.the-ten-commandments.org/the-ten-commandments.html">http://www.the-ten-commandments.org/the-ten-commandments.html</a>]</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That being said, I'm going to say that Yeshua would not have named himself God, Lord, God's son, Messiah or for that matter anything else that would ever be considered: "</span></span><u style="font-family: "Monotype Corsiva", "Times New Roman", Times; font-size: 22px; text-align: justify;">any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath"</u><span style="font-family: "monotype corsiva" , "times new roman" , "times"; font-size: 22px; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">that would encourage anyone to "</span></span><u style="font-family: "Monotype Corsiva", "Times New Roman", Times; font-size: 22px; text-align: justify;">bow down to them (him) nor serve them (him)</u><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">", because that would have pissed God off.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) formally proposed Tuesday to repeal the Obama administration’s controversial <a href="http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/243179-obama-asserts-power-over-small-waterways" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">regulation</a> that extended the reach of the federal government over small waterways.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">Under
the proposal from the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers, federal
officials would go back to enforcing a guidance document from 2008 when
deciding whether a waterway is subject to federal oversight for
pollution control purposes.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">It’s the first formal step by the EPA
to fulfilling President Trump’s campaign promise to repeal the 2015
“waters of the United States” regulation, which Republicans and numerous
industry groups have long argued would have subject farmers, developers
and others to costly and time-intensive federal permitting for everyday
activities like moving soil.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">The Trump administration plans
to separately write a new regulation to replace the water rule with a
more industry-friendly definition of federal power over waterways.</span></span></div>
<div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded">
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">“We
are taking significant action to return power to the states and provide
regulatory certainty to our nation's farmers and businesses,” EPA
Administrator <a class="rollover-people-link" href="http://thehill.com/person/scott-pruitt">Scott Pruitt</a> said in a statement.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">“This
is the first step in the two-step process to redefine ‘waters of the
U.S.’ and we are committed to moving through this re-evaluation to
quickly provide regulatory certainty, in a way that is thoughtful,
transparent and collaborative with other agencies and the public.”</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">Trump had signed an <a href="http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/321610-trump-directs-epa-to-reconsider-obama-water-rule" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">executive order</a> in February formally asking Pruitt to consider repealing the rule and replacing it with a more limited one.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">The
Obama rule asserted federal power over ponds, headwaters, wetlands and
other water bodies that feed into larger water areas, but whose Clean
Water Act jurisdiction was unclear because of conflicting Supreme Court
cases.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">The Obama administration said that the drinking water
supplies for 117 million Americans rely on protection by the rule, which
it had dubbed the Clean Water Rule. Wildlife, recreation and navigation
activities also depend on those waterways, the previous administration
argued.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">But it was controversial from the start, with accusations
that it would give the federal government control over large swaths of
the country, like dry land and puddles. Numerous states and industries
sued to stop it, and a federal court in Cincinnati blocked the
government from enforcing it while the litigation proceeded.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">Environmentalists quickly slammed the Trump administration’s action as a direct attack on water protection.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">“It
is appalling, though not surprising, that the Trump administration is
rolling back these critical protections in order to help out corporate
interests,” League of Conservation Voters President Gene Karpinski said
in a statement.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">“The Clean Water Rule is vital for protecting the
small streams and wetlands that our families, communities, and
businesses depend on, and we know this is the first step in the
administration’s effort to gut the Clean Water Act itself,” he said.
“But just like the attacks on efforts to tackle climate change and the
proposed rollback of our national monuments, and so much more, the Trump
administration will face fierce opposition.”</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">“This proposal
strikes directly at public health,” said Rhea Suh, president of the
Natural Resources Defense Council. “It would strip out needed
protections for the streams that feed drinking water sources for one in
every three Americans. Clean water is too important for that. We’ll
stand up to this reckless attack on our waters and health.”</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">Supporters of the president applauded the action.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">“The
final WOTUS rule issued by the last administration was unworkable, a
fact acknowledged by courts around the country, and amounted to a
massive grab of regulatory authority by an EPA that was overreaching,”
said Bill Kovacs, vice president for environment and regulatory policy
at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">“We look forward to working with
Administrator Pruitt and his team to craft a rule that protects public
health and the environment, while giving clarity and certainty to our
nation’s farmers and job creators,” he said.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">“Today marks the
beginning of restoring private property rights while protecting our
environment,” said Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.). “Out of state D.C.
bureaucrats shouldn’t impose regulations that hurt Montana farmers,
ranchers and landowners.”</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">The EPA will publish the proposal in the
Federal Register within days, at which point the agency will start
accepting comments from the public. After considering the comments and
making any necessary changes, the agency can make the repeal final.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">Finalizing the repeal would then open the door to likely lawsuits from environmental groups, Democratic states and others.</span></span></div>

<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">The onerous list of demands includes stipulations that Doha close the broadcaster al-Jazeera, drastically scale back cooperation with Iran, remove Turkish troops from Qatar’s soil, end contact with groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood and submit to monthly external compliance checks. <a class="u-underline" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/qatar">Qatar</a> has been given 10 days to comply with the demands or face unspecified consequences.</span></b><br />

<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><a class="u-underline" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/saudiarabia">Saudi Arabia</a>
and the other nations leading the blockade – the United Arab Emirates,
Bahrain and Egypt – launched an economic and diplomatic blockade on the
energy-rich country a fortnight ago, initially claiming the Qatari royal
family had licensed the funding of terrorism across the Middle East for
decades. Since then, the allies appear to be pushing for the isolation
of Iran and the suppression of dissenting media in the region.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">The list of demands, relayed to Qatar via mediators from Kuwait, represents the first time <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/saudiarabia">Saudi Arabia</a>
has been prepared to put the bloc’s previously amorphous grievances in
writing. Their sweeping nature would, if accepted, represent an
effective end to Qatar’s independent foreign policy. According to one of
the points, Qatar would have to “align itself with other Arabs and the
Gulf, militarily, politically, socially and economically, as well as in
financial matters”.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></b>
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">The UAE’s foreign secretary, Anwar Gargash, insisted the anti-Qatar
alliance is not seeking to impose regime change. Nevertheless, it is
unlikely that Qatar will see the demands as the basis for serious
negotiations.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Qatar has become reliant on Turkey and Iran for food imports since
the embargo was imposed on 5 June and insists with its huge wealth it
can survive the embargo for an indefinite period.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Gargash blamed Qatar for the “childish” leak of its 13 demands and
called it either an “attempt to undermine serious mediation or yet
another sign of callous policy. </span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">“It would be wiser that [Qatar] deal seriously with the demands and
concerns of the neighbours or a divorce will take place,” he said.</span></b><br />

</span></b></figure><b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Qatar faces a choice of either stability and prosperity or isolation,
he said, adding: “Perhaps the solution is in parting ways.”</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">In a sign that the UK does not regard the demands as reasonable,
foreign secretary Boris Johnson said on Friday: “Gulf unity can only be
restored when all countries involved are willing to discuss terms that
are measured and realistic. </span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">“The UK calls upon the Gulf states to find a way of de-escalating the
situation and lifting the current embargo and restrictions which are
having an impact on the everyday lives of people in the region.”</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">US policy towards Qatar so far has been marked by confusion.
President Donald Trump has appeared to take credit for the Saudi embargo
and <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jun/09/trump-qatar-sponsor-terrorism-middle-east">described Qatar as a haven for terrorism</a>. By contrast, the State Department under Rex Tillerson has twice <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/20/us-saudi-arabia-qatar-embargo-trump">upbraided Saudi Arabia’s approach to Qatar</a> and questioned its true motives in sparking the diplomatic crisis. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">In recent days the State Department has been pressing Saudi to
specify the actions Qatar must take to see the embargo lifted, but
warned that those demands need to be “reasonable and actionable”.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></b>
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">On Friday a White House spokesman told the Guardian: “The United
States is still accessing the list and we are in communication with all
parties. As we have said, we want to see the parties resolve this
dispute and restore unity among our partners in the region, while
ensuring all countries are stopping funding for terrorist groups.”</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">The State Department spokesperson also declined to take a position on
the specific Saudi demands, focusing instead on the need for the
involved parties to resolve the dispute themselves through dialogue.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">“We understand the Kuwaitis, in their mediation capacity, have
delivered a list of demands to the Qataris,” a spokesperson said. “We
encourage all parties to exercise restraint to allow for productive,
diplomatic discussions.”</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">The US has a major military base in Qatar and risks seeing Qatar
forced into an alliance with Iran if its enforced isolation continues,
an outcome that would be a major strategic blow to Washington as well as
a further threat to the security of the region.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Qatar’s UN ambassador, Sheikha Alya Ahmed bin Saif al-Thani, said the
allegations that her country supports terrorism are “sabotaging our
relationship with the world, with the west, tarnishing our reputation in
a way by using the terrorism card”.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">She said: “The blockade they have imposed is illegal. They used the
terrorism card as a way of attracting attention. But the main objectives
are more about criticising our media, al-Jazeera, and our openness.”</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Al-Thani added: “We are small, but we have integrity.” She said on US
broadcaster CBS that she believed the Saudi positioning was softening,
but not that of the UAE. She hopes for a resolution but fears a
prolonged chill: “They continue to escalate even though both Kuwait and
the United States are playing an important role. We are confident of the
US position toward the blockade.”</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jun/23/the-guardian-view-on-al-jazeera-muzzling-journalism">Al-Jazeera</a>
has condemned the call for its closure as “nothing but an attempt to
end freedom of expression in the region, and suppress the right to
information”.</span></b><br />

<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Rachael Jolley, the editor of Index on Censorship, said: “From its
treatment of blogger Raif Badawi to its tightly controlled media
environment, the Saudi authorities must not be able to dictate access to
information for the public in other countries. <a class="u-underline" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="auto-linked-tag" href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/al-jazeera">Al-Jazeera</a> must not be used as a bargaining chip.”</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">But the Saudi-led alliance regards the Arabic wing of al-Jazeera, the
most widely watched broadcaster in the Arab world, as a propaganda tool
for Islamists that also undermines support for their governments. The
list of demands also called for other Doha-supported news outlets to be
shut, including the New Arab and Middle East Eye.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Other key demands mapped out by Saudi include Qatar severing all ties
with terrorist groups, specifically the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic
State, al-Qaida and Lebanon’s Hezbollah. The ultimatum calls for the
handing over of designated terrorists and other individuals by Saudi
Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Bahrain. All contacts with the political
opposition inside Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Bahrain would have to be
halted with all files handed over that detail Qatar’s prior contacts
with, and support for, opposition groups.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Qatar’s links with Iran, Saudi Arabia’s main adversary, would have to
be confined only to trade allowed under the international sanctions
regime and approved by the Gulf Co-operation Council.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Cutting ties to Iran would prove incredibly difficult – Qatar shares
with Iran a massive offshore natural gas field, which supplies the small
nation <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jun/05/2022-world-cup-qatar-under-threat-saudi-arabia-blockade-fifa-football">that will host the 2022 Fifa World Cup</a> with much of its wealth.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></b>
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Qatar insists it does not fund terrorists, and has previously said
that the embargo is a punishment for following an independent foreign
policy more sympathetic to the principles of the Arab spring than that
of its neighbours.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Qatar would also be required to accept monthly external audits after
agreeing to the demands, then once per quarter during the second year.
It would also have to agree to be monitored annually for compliance for
10 years.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Turkey’s defence minister rejected suggestions that Doha should review its military base in <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/qatar">Qatar</a> and said demands for its closure represent interference in Ankara’s relations with the Gulf state.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Speaking on Thursday, before the 13 demands were tabled, Qatar’s
foreign minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, said his
country had always abided by international laws and played a key role in
the international coalition fighting Isis.</span></b><br />
