1/10 Today, Britain's House of Lords debated whether the British Museum should return 11 Tabots - sacred altar tablets - that were stolen from Ethiopia during Britain's military 'expedition' there in 1868. @BishopWorcester @SteveTheQuip @britishmuseum @alulapan
2/10 Basic background: Tabots are sacred to Ethiopian Orthodox Christians. The British Museum has promised it will never display or study them - they are locked in a room. Nevertheless, it has refused to return them. It says it is considering 'loaning' them to a church in the UK.
3/10 Five lords and bishops spoke in favour of returning the Tabots, citing justice and principle. It remined me of another parliamentary debate in 1871 when William Gladstone himself used similar language to decry the plunder. See the C19th debate here api.parliament.uk/historic-hansa…

Reality: "The financialization of #nature"

To obtain the required social license, the ruling class devised a strategy. A corporate campaign that would harness the momentum of the youth - to achieve the ruling class objectives & desired goals. #NewDealForNature

1) #NicolasSarkozy was #France’s president 2007-2012, was arrested & is being questioned about his illegally financed campaign by #Gaddafi in #Libya, some backstory.

2) A total of $50m was funneled. And it wasn't done via wire transfer. Franco-Lebanese businessman Ziad Takkiedine claims he carried suitcases full of cash in 2006 and 2007.
$50m is double the legal campaign limit in France.
