ICE leaders were aware of the findings of an unreleased Army study, which left participants in intense pain, before signing a $16.7 million contract to purchase 6,000 pairs of shock gloves in August, according to records. on.nbcboston.com/9oMDslA
on.nbcboston.com
An Army study found shock gloves caused 'intense pain' and fear. ICE ordered 6,000 pairs.
The shock gloves ICE agents could soon use to control detainees worked so powerfully during a military exercise that participants felt intense pain, stopped fighting and feared additional exposures.

The UK Green Party actually stands for something now, something that at least 70% of the UK support, Anti-Zionism, we do not support the War Criminal State of Israel. Something which ALL the other parties do without question. Vote for change, vote Green.

Water companies failing their basic duties? The Green Party has a simple solution. Special administration. Public ownership. ZERO compensation for shareholders.

Some Green Party leaders oppose the Zionism is racism motion because it “undermines Jewish self-determination.” But Zionism requires the destruction of another people’s self-determination. Those people are the Palestinians.

Private water companies were handed a debt-free industry in 1989 under Thatcher. Since 1991 your water bills have gone up by 44% and a third of what you pay goes towards dividends payments and financing debt. They need to go bust and be taken back into public hands. Now. Not in 10 years' time.

The war in Gaza didn't start on October 7, 2023. It started in 1948 when Israel ethnic cleansed 750,000 Palestinians out of Palestine.

Piers Morgan “Mohammed, do you condemn the Hamas attacks on October the 7th?” Mohammed Hijab “Yes, I do. Do you condemn Israel killing over 1000 kids?” Piers Morgan “I believe Israel has a right to defend themselves” That answer should be on the tombstone of his career.
