BRANDS TO BOYCOTT

1 Consumer boycott goals:

Let's start by boycotting these brands that are directly involved in Israeli apartheid

'' BIG THREE''

Mc Donald: gives free meals to Israeli soldiers

Disney ( sadly, Disney was my childhood): declared support for Israel by pledging $2 million

Starbucks: sued his union over its pro-Palestine positions

Siemens

Siemens (Germany) is the prime contractor of the Euro-Asia Interconnector, an Israel-EU undersea power cable that is expected to connect illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories to Europe. Siemens brand appliances are sold all over the world.

PUMA

PUMA (Germany) sponsors the Israel Football Federation, which governs teams in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Carrefour

Carrefour (France) is a facilitator of genocide. Carrefour-Israel supported Israeli soldiers who took part in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza with gifts of personal parcels. In 2022 it entered into a partnership with the Israeli company Electra Consumer Products and its subsidiary Yenot Bitan, both of which were involved in serious violations against the Palestinian people.

AXA

When Russia invaded Ukraine, the insurance giant AXA (France) took targeted measures against it. Yet as Israel, a 75-year-old regime of colonialism and apartheid, wages a genocidal war on Gaza, AXA continues to invest in Israeli banks that finance war crimes and the theft of Palestinian land and natural resources.

Hewlett Packard Inc (HP Inc)

HP Inc (USA) provides services to the offices of the genocide leaders, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Finance Minister Smotrich.

SodaStream

SodaStream is actively complicit in Israel's policy of displacing Israel's indigenous Bedouin-Palestinian citizens in the Naqab (Negev) and has a long history of racial discrimination against Palestinian workers.

Ahava cosmetics

Ahava have their production site, visitor center and main store in an illegal Israeli settlement in the occupied Palestinian territories.

D/MAX

RE/MAX (USA) markets and sells property in illegal Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land, thus enabling Israeli colonization of the occupied West Bank.

2 Divestment objectives:

Elbit Systems

Elbit Systems is the largest apartheid Israeli arms company. It “field tests” its weapons against the Palestinians, including in Israel's ongoing genocidal war against the Palestinians in Gaza. In addition to building killer drones, Elbit produces surveillance technology for the apartheid wall, checkpoints and fence in Gaza, enabling apartheid. The US and EU use Elbit technology to militarize their borders, violating the rights of refugees and indigenous peoples.

HD Hyundai/Volvo/CAT/JCB machinery

by HD Hyundai (South Korea), Volvo (Sweden/China), CAT (United States) and JCB (United Kingdom) have been used by Israel in the ethnic cleansing and forced displacement of Palestinians through the destruction of their homes, farms and commercial activities, as well as the construction of illegal settlements on stolen land, a war crime under international law.

Barclays

Barclays Bank (UK) holds more than £1 billion in shares and provides more than £3 billion in loans and subscriptions to nine companies whose weapons, components and military technology have been used in Israel's armed violence against Palestinians.

CAF

The Basque transport company CAF builds and provides maintenance services to the Jerusalem Light Rail (JLR), a tram line serving illegal Israeli settlements in Jerusalem. The CAF benefits from Israel's war crimes on stolen Palestinian lands.

Chevron

The US fossil fuel multinational Chevron is the main international company extracting gas claimed by Israeli apartheid in the eastern Mediterranean. Chevron generates billions in revenue, bolstering Israel's war chest and apartheid system and exacerbating the climate crisis.

HikVision

Amnesty International has documented high-resolution CCTV cameras made by Chinese company Hikvision installed in residential areas and mounted on Israeli military infrastructure for surveillance of Palestinians. Some of these models, according to Hikvision marketing, can connect to external facial recognition software.

TKH Security

Amnesty International has identified cameras from the Dutch company TKH Security used by Israel for surveillance of Palestinians. TKH supplies the Israeli police with surveillance technology used to enforce apartheid.

Other brands:

Zara

Zara's latest marketing campaign uses corpses in plastic wrapping, and warzone aesthetics, mocking the genocide by israel in Gaza. In a previous incident Joey Schwebel, a Canadian-Israeli dual national and chairman of israel's Zara franchisee Trimera, hosted the convicted terrorist Itamar Ben-Gvir at his home in the lead-up to the Israeli elections. Zara did not made a statement distancing themselves from this association and allowed this ad campaign to run.

Back to nature

They had broken down in Allamuchy. A miserable town somewhere in the middle of nowhere. There was a thunderstorm, the mobile phone reception was down. And Gareth was beside himself. He had an important appointment in Chicago tomorrow and had deliberately chosen to be driven by a limousine from his company. The passenger cabs were soundproof, he could have made a number of important and confidential phone calls in preparation for his appointment. And now here they were in the wasteland. Outside in the pouring rain, his driver stood trying to flag down a car. And sure enough, after what felt like an eternity, he came back and said that he had indeed been able to arrange a ride to Chicago. The driver wanted $500.00 for the diversions. There is no alternative, Gareth thought to himself and took his laptop bag. His driver held his umbrella and carried his suitcase to the pickup, which stood in the pouring rain with the engine running. As far as Gareth could tell, there was a John Deere logo emblazoned on the side. Well bravo, what a disaster. His driver opened the passenger door for him and loaded Gareth's Louis Vuitton suitcase into the back seat, which otherwise contained tools and dirty clothes. Never mind, you'll have to get through it now, Gareth told himself. The main thing is to be in Chicago tomorrow night.

Gareth was 50 and at the peak of his career. He was a vice president at one of the largest investment banks in the world, responsible for mergers and acquisitions in the chemicals sector. Good, he had to pay a large part of his princely salary to his ex-wife, but there was more than enough left over. Well, he hardly had time to spend the money, but he didn't care. Work gave him a real rush. And now he was sitting in a pickup truck in his tailor-made suit, which perfectly concealed a fat pad or two. It reeked of beer, sweat and cold cigar smoke. And the young lad next to him was the very model of a hillbilly. These were going to be difficult hours.

Gareth gave the young man a curt greeting, said goodbye to his driver and turned his attention to the screen of his iPhone. But there was still no reception… Gareth tried to read a few file attachments, but somehow it was getting harder and harder for him to concentrate. After they had driven a good 30 miles and had just passed Tannersville, the obviously taciturn man at the wheel spoke up. "Name's Jaxon. With an x. What's your name and what your doin'?" It was already 10:30pm and Gareth was getting tired… But the question woke him up again. With due arrogance, he asked Jaxon if he didn't read internal memos. His name was Gareth and he had been CFO at John Deere for almost half a year. "Ah, mate," Jaxon replied. 'Nah, don't read memos, fixin' harvesters. Impressive machines." Would Gareth know anything about them? No, Gareth replied and turned back to his iPhone. Thank God the thunderstorm had subsided and reception was back. He was ace at finance, but he still didn't know much about tractors and farm machinery. He wanted to go over a few things in preparation for the appointment the day after tomorrow at the corporate headquarters.

Gareth kept nodding off during the drive and suddenly woke up when Jaxon's car came to a stop. "I'm tired, let's hit the hay," he said curtly, grabbing a bag from the back seat and heading towards a shabby looking motel. They were in Zion and had covered just under 180 kilometres. This is going to be fun, Gareth thought sarcastically. But then again, when he had taken over finance at John Deere almost four years ago, he had insisted on cutting costs. Now he had to pay for it in this flophouse. At least you still got two single rooms.

Already at 06:00 Jaxon had woken him up and urged him to continue his journey. Gareth had slept in his underwear, he had left his suitcase in the car. He put on his jeans, checked shirt and corduroy jacket with leather patches on the elbows. It all smelled a bit like Jaxon's car, but that was okay… He would have time to shower and change before the appointment in Moline. Jaxon and Gareth drove through the morning in silence. A coffee would have been good, Gareth thought to himself. Thankfully, Jaxon soon pulled out to refuel on the right and the two treated themselves to a hearty breakfast. It was 08:00, here in Ebensburg they had just completed 250 miles, a good quarter of the total distance. Maybe he should be a little friendlier to his colleague. So they began to talk. Jaxon was not as monosyllabic as Gareth had suspected. It was just that his interests were different. Jaxon was enthusiastic about his work and the machines he worked with. In the next few days he had a training course in Moline for the maintenance of a new type of equipment, after which he would go back to his standard in New Jersey. Even though Gareth had been working at John Deere for over five years, he couldn't understand the enthusiasm. He was a numbers man. But at least they both liked football. That gave them a topic of conversation for the next few miles, when Gareth wasn't fiddling with his mobile phone again. He loves his cat-phone. It just fitted in with their company's guyish image. They drove through the morning, not stopping again until 12:00 in Zanesville. They were now about halfway through. Gareth invited them to lunch. They were both ravenously hungry. Jaxon was a real animal. A career as a quarterback, hard physical work and long evenings in the gym had shaped his body. Gareth, too, spent a lot of time pumping iron. But the work in the office was already having an effect. Jaxon simply looked fitter. Sure, Gareth had just turned 40 and was thus considerably older than Jaxon. And he missed the fresh air. Since he had moved to Moline almost ten years ago, he had become a country bumpkin. But if he wanted to make a career, he simply had to work hard.

As they drove on, Gareth and Jaxon began to gossip about the monkeys in the company management. Sure, they both had completely different jobs, but their problems were similar. Fuck, thought Gareth, how lucky we were to have met. Normally their paths would never have crossed. It was warm in the car. Gareth envied Jaxon for wearing only a T-shirt. He unbuttoned his shirt. He could do with a cigar now. He asked Jaxon if that would bother him. "Fuck, bro," the latter replied. "I didn't have the heart to ask you." They both grinned, Gareth took two cigars out of his leather jacket in the back seat, gave one to Jaxon and said "I'm Gaz by the way. Gareth is just what my supervisor and my father call me."

It was 6pm when the two stopped for a break in Indianapolis. Jaxon wanted to stop by a friend's house for a minute. It was a shame the break was short. Could have been a nice evening. Jaxon and his friend were both imposing fellas. Gaz was fascinated by their muscles and tattoos. Certainly he wasn't badly built himself. As an engineer at John Deere, he was used to hard work and he spent every spare minute in the gym. But tattoos had always been something his parents had disapproved of. And even though he was now approaching his 34th birthday, he was still under their thumb.

At 9:00 p.m. in Peoria, the two of them had to stop for gas. And piss. It was the first time Gaz had seen Jaxon's cock. Shit that the two of them were assigned to different locations. He'd love to work with the stallion in a camp for a week. Jaxon seemed to feel the same way about that, though. He looked over at his younger colleague and began to jerk his cock. Gaz knew what to do and got on his knees and sucked Jaxon's cock until he cummed his load into Gaz's face.

The two hours to Moline were dangerous. Jaxon was easily distracted by Gaz's cock. And Gaz had no problem with Jaxon having one hand on his cock rather than the wheel. It was 11pm when Jaxon stopped the pickup in front of the motel. This was where the two of them were staying while being trained on the latest generation of harvesters from the company. Gaz didn't like the city. Gaz was an outdoorsman. He was uncomfortable in motels. His world was the forest, were the sawmills and were the garages where he could wrench on the machines he had admired since childhood. Fortunately, he shared a room with his former foreman Jaxon. That guaranteed fun!

Realised at the request of @rapids0. Hope you like it!

Lula takes on the agrarian reform agenda and brings ministers together; read the details of the settlement plan

On Saturday, the president met with Landless Rural Workers' representatives and listened to their demands

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Workers’ Party) has taken on the agrarian reform agenda, according to sources from the Planalto Palace, the headquarters of the Executive power in Brazil. On Tuesday (20), Lula called the Minister of Agrarian Development (MDA, in Portuguese) Paulo Teixeira, the Chief of Staff Rui Costa, the Minister of Finance Fernando Haddad, as well as the president of the National Institute for Colonization and Agrarian Reform (Incra, in Portuguese) César Aldrighi and the president of the National Supply Company (Conab, in Portuguese) Edegar Pretto to discuss measures that will probably be announced in the coming days to speed up the settlement of landless families across the country. 

MDA said in a statement that “the delegation presented proposals for actions to strengthen family farming, advance agrarian reform and increase food production in landless settlements," meeting the demands presented by the Landless Rural Workers' Movement (MST, in Portuguese) on Saturday (17), in a meeting with Lula.   

The statement also says that “even in a scenario of severe fiscal restriction, there were signs of support for prioritizing actions aimed at the most vulnerable family farmers, structuring food production in settlements and supporting rural youth."

According to the MDA, the agenda included “obtaining land, access to credit, the Desenrola Rural federal program, strengthening the Food Acquisition Program (PAA, in Portuguese), resources for the National Program for Education in Agrarian Reform (Pronera, in Portuguese), authorization to adjudicate land owned by large debtors, support for the national production of small machinery and aid for settlers in the state of Rio Grande do Sul who have lost their houses and rural production."

Udyam Registration for Agriculture Businesses: A Path to Growth and Sustainability

Agriculture forms the backbone of India’s economy, supporting rural livelihoods and contributing significantly to food security and employment. However, many agriculture-based enterprises, especially those classified as Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), struggle to realize their full potential due to limited access to resources and formal recognition. Udyam Registration, an initiative by the Ministry of MSME, offers a crucial gateway for agricultural businesses to access a host of benefits that can drive their growth and sustainability.

What is Udyam Registration?

Udyam Registration is an online registration process designed to make it easier for MSMEs to formalize their operations and gain access to government schemes. It replaces the earlier MSME registration process and provides various incentives to registered businesses. Agriculture-based businesses, ranging from small-scale farmers and agribusinesses to companies involved in food processing, agro-machinery, and horticulture, can benefit from this registration.

Agricultural MSMEs that opt for Udyam Registration gain access to a wide array of financial and technical support, which can help them improve their competitiveness in both domestic and global markets.

Key Benefits of Udyam Registration for Agriculture Businesses

Access to Government Schemes and SubsidiesUdyam-registered agricultural enterprises can avail of government schemes and subsidies aimed at MSMEs. These include capital investment subsidies, tax benefits, and assistance programs like the Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP). For instance, businesses involved in food processing may benefit from financial support under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY), a scheme designed to promote modern food processing technologies and reduce agricultural waste. This formal registration unlocks opportunities to access funds that help agriculture-based businesses adopt advanced farming techniques, mechanization, and other modern practices.

Easier Access to Credit and LoansAccess to finance is a major challenge for agricultural MSMEs, but Udyam Registration can ease this burden by improving the business’s creditworthiness. Banks offer collateral-free loans to registered MSMEs under schemes like the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE). Additionally, registered businesses are eligible for lower interest rates, simplifying the borrowing process and ensuring that agriculture businesses can invest in new technologies or expand operations. Udyam Registration also helps entrepreneurs secure working capital, crucial for ensuring smooth operations during seasonal fluctuations in demand and production.

Protection Against Payment DelaysLate payments from customers and buyers are common in the agricultural industry, causing cash flow problems for small businesses. With Udyam Registration, MSMEs are protected under the MSMED Act, which mandates that buyers must make payments within 45 days of receiving goods or services. If there are any delays, the buyer is required to pay interest to the seller. This protection ensures that small agribusinesses are not burdened with financial losses due to delayed payments, providing them with much-needed financial security.

Eligibility for Government TendersUdyam-registered agriculture businesses are eligible to participate in government tenders and are often given priority over non-registered businesses. This gives them access to lucrative opportunities to supply agricultural products, machinery, or services to government agencies. Additionally, Udyam Registration exempts these businesses from some tendering requirements, such as paying Earnest Money Deposits (EMD). By participating in government procurement, agriculture businesses can significantly expand their market reach.

Market Development AssistanceAnother advantage of Udyam Registration is access to market development assistance, which can help agricultural MSMEs promote their products in national and international markets. This includes participation in trade fairs, exhibitions, and marketing campaigns supported by government programs. By increasing their visibility in the market, these businesses can boost sales and improve their brand reputation.

Tax and Regulatory BenefitsUdyam Registration offers tax benefits and simplifies compliance with regulatory requirements. Registered agricultural MSMEs may qualify for exemptions under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and other local taxes. Additionally, government regulations for labor, environmental standards, and licensing are more straightforward for registered MSMEs, helping them reduce costs and administrative burdens.

Udyam Registration Process for Agriculture Businesses

The registration process is designed to be user-friendly and can be completed online through the official Udyam Registration portal. Here’s a brief overview of the process:

Financial Incentives for Udyam-Registered Businesses: Grants, Loans, and Subsidies

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the backbone of India’s economy, contributing significantly to employment, GDP, and exports. Recognizing their importance, the Indian government has implemented various financial incentives to support the growth and development of these enterprises. Udyam registration, introduced on July 1, 2020, provides a streamlined process for MSMEs to formalize their operations and access a wide range of financial incentives, including grants, loans, and subsidies. This article explores the key financial incentives available to Udyam-registered businesses and how they contribute to the overall growth of the MSME sector.

Understanding Udyam Registration

Udyam registration is a simplified, online registration process for MSMEs that replaced the earlier Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum (UAM) system. It is designed to provide a formal identity to businesses, making them eligible for various government schemes and financial incentives. The registration process is entirely digital, requiring minimal documentation, and is accessible to businesses across India, including those in remote and rural areas.

Importance of Financial Incentives for MSMEs

Financial incentives play a crucial role in supporting MSMEs by providing them with the necessary capital and resources to grow and expand their operations. These incentives are particularly important for small businesses, which often face challenges in accessing traditional sources of finance due to their size, limited collateral, and higher perceived risk. By offering grants, loans, and subsidies, the government aims to address these challenges and create a conducive environment for MSMEs to thrive.

Key Financial Incentives for Udyam-Registered Businesses

Grants and Subsidies

Grants and subsidies are non-repayable financial aids provided by the government to support specific activities or initiatives within the MSME sector. Udyam-registered businesses can access a variety of grants and subsidies aimed at promoting innovation, technology adoption, and capacity building.

Credit Linked Capital Subsidy Scheme (CLCSS): This scheme provides a subsidy of up to 15% on the purchase of plant and machinery for MSMEs. The objective is to encourage the adoption of modern technology and improve productivity. Udyam-registered businesses can avail themselves of this subsidy to upgrade their equipment and remain competitive in the market.

Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS): The TUFS scheme offers financial assistance to MSMEs in the textile and garment sectors for modernizing their production facilities. This includes subsidies on capital investment and interest reimbursement on loans taken for technology upgradation.

Marketing Assistance Scheme: This scheme provides financial support to MSMEs for participating in trade fairs, exhibitions, and buyer-seller meets, both domestically and internationally. The aim is to enhance the market visibility of MSME products and services.

National Manufacturing Competitiveness Programme (NMCP): Under this program, Udyam-registered businesses can access various subsidies for initiatives like lean manufacturing, quality certification, and design interventions. The goal is to improve the competitiveness of MSMEs and promote sustainable growth.

Loans and Credit Schemes

Access to affordable credit is essential for the growth and expansion of MSMEs. The government offers several loan schemes to Udyam-registered businesses, ensuring they have the financial resources needed to invest in their operations, manage cash flow, and take advantage of new opportunities.

Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP): PMEGP is a credit-linked subsidy scheme that provides financial assistance for setting up new enterprises in the non-farm sector. Udyam-registered businesses can access loans with a subsidy component to cover the cost of capital investment, making it easier to start or expand their operations.

Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE): This scheme provides collateral-free credit to MSMEs, reducing the risk for lenders and making it easier for businesses to obtain loans. Udyam-registered enterprises can avail of loans up to ₹2 crore under this scheme, with the government guaranteeing up to 85% of the loan amount.

MUDRA Loans: The Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency (MUDRA) provides loans of up to ₹10 lakh to non-corporate, non-farm small/micro enterprises. Udyam-registered businesses can access these loans under three categories—Shishu (up to ₹50,000), Kishor (₹50,001 to ₹5 lakh), and Tarun (₹5,00,001 to ₹10 lakh)—depending on their stage of growth.

Stand-Up India Scheme: This scheme is designed to promote entrepreneurship among women, SC, and ST communities. It provides bank loans ranging from ₹10 lakh to ₹1 crore for setting up greenfield enterprises in manufacturing, services, or trading sectors. Udyam-registered businesses owned by these groups can access this scheme to obtain the necessary capital for starting new ventures.

Interest Subsidies and Tax Benefits

Rich Brazil Landowners Are Shelling Out Millions to Keep Bolsonaro in Power

For years, President Jair Bolsonaro has drawn global criticism for his handling of Brazil’s environmental matters. But it hasn’t stopped a group of rich Brazilian landowners from bankrolling his re-election bid.

The biggest donors to Bolsonaro’s campaign ahead of the Oct. 2 election come mainly from the country’s wealthy agribusiness community. Some, like his main backer Oscar Luiz Cervi, own farms as big as Austin, Texas. Others sell farm machinery, seeds or meat.

Together, they account for the majority of the 22.2 million reais ($4.1 million) the president got from over 250,000 donations, most consisting of small amounts from individuals, a Bloomberg analysis of campaign finance filings shows. By comparison, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who currently holds a commanding lead in polls, has raised less than 1 million reais in similar types of donations. 

“Farmers back Bolsonaro en masse because they’ve been almost historically persecuted due to the environmental issue in Brazil,” said Jose Carlos Hausknecht, a partner at consultancy MB Agro. “Even when they wanted to do the right thing, they always end up being connected to deforestation.”
