    1. Der Critical Raw Materials Actt wird von Industrie-Lobbies benutzt, um Einschränkungen beim Zugang zu Rohmaterialien abzubauen, und zwar auch dann, wenn es nicht um die Energieversorgung geht. IT-, Rüstungs- und Raumfahrtindustrie versuchen von der Krisensituation bei den neuen Energien zu profitieren. Die Libéation berichtet über einen neuen Report von Lobbying-Warchdogs. Die Liste der kritischen Rohmaterialien wurde bereits von 15 auf 34 Stoffe erweitert. https://www.liberation.fr/international/europe/ue-le-critical-raw-materials-act-un-open-bar-pour-lindustrie-miniere-20231112_HZUR6376QJCZVBM5IGIUR6V2QE/

    1. In Frankreich wird sich Marie Toussaint um die Spitzenkandidatur auf der Liste der Grünen bei den Europawahlen bewerben. In einem Interview mit der Libération spricht sie sich für eine Politik gegen das "ökozidäre Kapital" aus. Es gehe jetzt um eine Auseinandersetzung mit den Kräften, die keine schärferen ökologischen Bestimmungen wollen, und denen, die den Green Deal der EU verteidigen und ausweiten wollen. Andere Linksparteien würden immer noch von einer Hierarchie zwischen der sozialen Problematik und den dieser untergeordneten ökologischen Problemen ausgehen. https://www.liberation.fr/politique/marie-toussaint-jai-lhonneur-detre-candidate-a-porter-les-propositions-ecologistes-aux-europeennes-de-2024-20230607_5GY6SWTV45DMPJUFXDFMIYTB2U/

    1. The law provides for awards to inventors of rural machines, or for the preservation of the exclusive ownership of their discoveries.

      Patents?!?!

    2. There cannot exist in the colony corporations or associations that are contrary to public order.

      This seems very vague

    3. He shall supervise and censor by the authority of his commissaries, all writings designed for printing on the island he shall cause to be suppressed all those coming from abroad that would tend to corrupt mores or trouble the new colony; he shall punish the authors or colporteurs, according to the severity of the situation.

      This is pretty harsh...the Governor has the power to control what his colonists read, and as a result, their opinions and thoughts.

    4. He shall present, every two years, to the Central Assembly the conditions of receipts and disbursements of each department, year by year.

      At least he's got to show proof of where the colony's money is going

    5. hall meet at the ordinary place of hearing of the Central Assembly. to the effect of nominating, concurrently with the members of this Assembly, the new Governor or continue the administration of the one who is in function.

      So the members of this "Central Assembly" are the only people who have say in who is Governor?

    6. the Constitution attribute exclusively to this general the right to designate the citizen who, in the unfortunate event of the general’s death, shall immediately replace him.

      He gets to choose his own successor? That doesn't seem right...

    7. In order to strengthen the tranquility that the colony owes to steadfastness, activity, indefatigable zeal and rare virtues of the General Toussaint-Louverture

      If Toussaint is actually writing this, he sure thinks highly of himself!

    8. Each cultivator and each worker is a member of the family and shares in parts of the revenues.

      Does any of this sound vaguely like communism to anyone else? Everyone taking part in the work that sustains the community & all workers taking shares of the revenues?

    9. The Constitution charges the Governor to take convenient measures to encourage and favor the increase in manpower, to stipulate and balance the diverse interests, to ensure and guarantee the execution of respective engagements resulting from this introduction.

      Big job for the Governor!

    10. The colony being essentially agricultural cannot suffer the least disruption in the works of its cultivation.

      Okay...this seems like just a general statement as opposed to a law

    11. Of Men in Society 

      But just men...sorry ladies (again)

    12. Of the Religion

      So no separation of Church and State here, I guess

    13. Toussaint L'Ouverture
