On this day, 4 August 1765, actor and revolutionary Claire Lacombe was born in Pamiers, south-west France. She participated in the Paris insurrection of August 1792, taking part in the storming of the Tuileries Palace, despite being shot through the arm. With Pauline Léon she formed the Society of Revolutionary Republican Women – an organisation of working class women containing the most radical elements of the revolutionaries: the sans-culottes and the enragés. When these working class elements were suppressed by the moderates, the Society had become so notorious that all women’s organisations were banned, and Lacombe herself was later arrested and jailed for 16 months. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1181257325392749/?type=3

Los obeliscos
El obelisco se llama TEJEN en el lenguaje sagrado de los antiguos egipcios, el término es sinónimo de “protección”, “defensa”. El propósito de la aguja de piedra es perforar las nubes y dispersar las fuerzas negativas que siempre amenazan con acumularse, en forma de tormentas visibles o invisibles, sobre el templo era como un símbolo del rayo petrificado.
La palabra obelisco deriva del griego Obeliskos, escupidera para asar, es una piedra que a menudo es monolítica, con una base cuadrangular, colocada a la derecha y terminando en un punto. El dios solar RA se colocó en el centro de los amplios espacios de los templos. Una gran piedra sagrada surgió del culto predíntico que se levantó en el Templo de Heliópolis, la “Ciudad del Sol”. Al igual que las pirámides, este monumento estaba originalmente relacionado con el culto solar. Como regla general, los obeliscos se erigieron en pares y sirvieron para proteger mágicamente el templo.

On this day, 17 July 2014, Eric Garner, an innocent Black man, was murdered by white NYPD officers while arresting him after they suspected him of illegally selling cigarettes. He was choked to death while he pleaded with officers, telling them that he couldn’t breathe. On December 3 of that same year a grand jury decided not to charge the NYPD officer who put Garner in a lethal chokehold. The event sparked protests and rallies across the USA. On July 13, 2015, an out-of-court settlement was announced in which the City of New York would pay the Garner family $5.9 million. Just yesterday, federal prosecutors decided not to pursue any charges against the killer.
