• DOGE’s Social Security Cuts Create Chaotic ‘Day of the Dead Living’
    https://www.thedailybeast.com/doges-social-security-cuts-create-chaotic-day-of-the-dead-living

    These supposed dead are not to be confused with more than 6,000 living immigrants the Trump administration moved to the SSA Death Master File (DMF) in an attempt to force them to self-deport by depriving them of the ability to work legally.

    Many more American citizens were wrongly consigned to the DMF after Elon Musk’s DOGE goons bullied their way onto the SSA’s databases and mistakenly decided that “countless” people listed as 120 years old and older were receiving benefits.

    “[DOGE staffers] went into the system and they killed off people,” Glasgow told The Daily Beast. “About 4 million people, they marked them as dead. But they’re not sure if those people were supposed to be marked as dead, so they’re sending us an email saying, ‘If these people come into the office with their identification, you can reinstate them.’”

    The 55-year-old father of six added, “So we’re going to be resurrecting a lot of dead people.”

    And restoring financial life is never simple.
    “We have to go through this long process to resurrect them, to get them back as alive, which can take about three to four days,” Glasgow said.

    He noted that until people get off the DMF, they endure a kind of financial death.

    “When they mark someone dead on the Social Security record, it stops their life,” he said. “It stops their car payments, it stops their credit, it stops their ability to do anything. Their identification gets flagged. And most times those things have to go to the payment center.”

    The system’s payment centers have suffered DOGE cutbacks that have at least doubled and maybe tripled the wait people must endure.

    “What used to take 15 days to get done when we send something to a payment center is now taking about 30 to 45,” Glasgow reported.

  • France Travail intensifie encore le contrôle des demandeurs d’emploi
    https://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2025/04/24/france-travail-intensifie-encore-le-controle-des-demandeurs-d-emploi_6599712

    L’opérateur public va mettre en œuvre un système de contrôle rénové, avec l’objectif d’atteindre 1,5 million de personnes contrôlées en 2027.

    Les demandeurs d’emploi sont de plus en plus contrôlés, mais une part relativement faible se retrouve radiée à l’issue de la procédure.

    Avec la généralisation, depuis le 1er janvier, de la loi « plein-emploi », le système de contrôle va être amplement modifié. Il va d’abord poursuivre la dynamique engagée depuis plusieurs années avec une très forte augmentation du nombre de contrôles : près d’un million en 2025 pour atteindre ensuite l’objectif fixé par le gouvernement de 1,5 million en 2027. Le nouveau système de contrôle sera mis en œuvre à partir du mois de juin.

    [...] plateforme de contrôle, dont les effectifs vont être renforcés, avec près de 300 postes en plus d’ici à la fin de l’année − pour atteindre 900 personnes au total.

    En attendant ces grands changements, les résultats de l’année 2024 sont conformes à ceux des années précédentes. Ce sont 610 780 contrôles qui ont été effectués, une hausse de 16,7 % par rapport à 2023. 56 % d’entre eux ont été déclenchés sur des publics spécifiques, comme les demandeurs d’emploi recherchant un métier en tension ou ayant suivi une formation. Les autres sont notamment le fait de procédure aléatoire (20 %) et de signalement de conseillers en agence (15 %).

    Résultat, 55 % des contrôles clôturés en 2024 ont confirmé la recherche d’emploi et 21 % ont entraîné une « remobilisation de la personne ». Enfin, 17 % des contrôles ont abouti à une radiation d’un mois avec suppression d’autant de l’allocation, voire plus en cas de manquements répétés. La majeure partie de ces personnes sanctionnées (47 %) l’ont été après un contrôle lié à un signalement en agence.

    1/ New Revelations Regarding the Paramedic Massacre in Rafah

    One month ago, on 23 March, Israeli forces executed 15 Palestinian aid workers—among them Red Cresent paramedics, rescue teams, and UN staff. In the same operation, troops killed at least 10 civilians, including five children and a woman. However, evidence suggest that the actual number from that day is significantly higher

    Today, the PAL Commission on War Crimes, Justice, Reparations, and Return [The Commission] Legal Director and Chief Counsel- alongside Criminal Defense Attorney Maira Pinheiro, Investigative Journalist Younis Tirawi formally submitted the first fully exhaustive legal dossier detailing its findings on the Tel Sultan Massacre to both the Palestinian Red Crescent and the UN Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and the ICJ South African Legal Team

    The dossier titled "You identify anyone, you eliminate him” consisting of hundreds of pages forensically documents the Tel Sultan Massacre in unprecedented detail, identifies the commanders and officers directly responsible—circumventing IDF efforts to conceal their identities, establishes the legal foundation for prosecution—and reveals a coordinated operation
    involving multiple battalions, multiple commanders, and a sequence of orders delivered through a chain of command that has been painstakingly reconstructed and verified.

    It identifies by name key military figures who gave direct orders, fired upon aid workers, buried bodies to conceal war crimes, and terrorized civilians with coercive threats and psychological warfare.

    The Commission will announce specific legal actions in the coming period. This submission marks the first phase in our campaign to secure justice for the victims and ensure accountability for the perpetrators

    2/ Key Findings:

    1. The IDF has acknowledged that the deputy battalion commander led troops on that day and issued the initial order to open fire on the paramedics—, prompting his subordinates to follow suit. Through our investigation, we have identified this officer as 𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐍𝐢𝐤𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐢 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐯
    2. The IDF said that the brigade commander ordered the bodies to be dumped and that the ambulances, UN vehicles and firetrucks to be crushed and buried. The brigade commander of the 14th Brigade is Col. Tal ElKobi.

    We suspect that Lt. Col. Asaf Shalem, who served as the brigade’s combat operations officer, played a central role in the decision-making process.

    Given his position as the brigade’s combat controller during the invasion and operation in the Tel Sultan neighborhood, it is likely that he was closely involved in the planning and execution of the events that unfolded there.

    3. According to multiple testimonies who witnessed the attack with their eyes, between 30 and 40 soldiers were hiding in ambush on Baraksat Road. After approximately five minutes of continuous fire, groups of five soldiers approached the wounded aid workers and executed them at point-blank range—less than one meter away. Negev Machine Guns and standard M16 Rifles were the weapons used in the attack.

    One witness, with a medical background, emphasized that the soldiers made no effort to check pulses or offer medical assistance, despite having a clear opportunity when they reached the victims at the second ambulance attack

    4. Additionally, three tanks from the 87th Battalion—specifically from Companies M and K—arrived early that morning and fired a shell at the vehicle of UN Staff Field Security Supervisor in Rafah, Kamal Shatout while he was still inside. He was killed instantly. A bulldozer later crushed the UN vehicle. In the same area, another UN employee (working as a security guard) was seriously injured by bullets while in a clearly marked UN vehicle. According to a local resident who helped evacuate him, the incident occurred shortly after the killing of the aid workers. Both Kamal Shatout and the injured employee were in the Baraksat area—home to UN logistical warehouses—along with several families who had taken it as a shelter, The 87th Battalion is led today by 𝐋𝐭. 𝐂𝐨𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐫, and M Company commander Major 𝐘𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐦 𝐀𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐥

    5. Members of the Nov 23’ enlistment group from Sayeret Golani were positively identified as present at the exact scene of the killings.

    Cropped illustrative image taken from the personal footage of a Sayeret Golani soldier implicated in the massacre.

    6. At least two teams from Company A of Sayeret Golani, including a specialized sabotage team of 17 soldiers, were confirmed to have been positioned in a building overlooking the massacre scene.

    Some of their names and faces have been identified

    7. Eyewitnesses—formally interviewed via detailed intake forms by the PAL Commission—visually identified several Israeli soldiers from the Golani Reconnaissance Unit present at the scene that day of the massacre. Among those recognized were Commander David Cohen, multiple team leaders, and specific members of both the Auxiliary Unit and the November 2023 enlistment group.

    Screenshot from an eyewitness identifying Golani Reconnaissance Unit Commander Lt.Col David Cohen.

    8. Within 48 hours of the massacre, the PAL Commission’s Investigative Team had already established the responsibility of the Golani Reconnaissance Unit for the atrocity.

    Our investigation further confirmed the involvement of the unit’s own auxiliary company, which arrived shortly afterward in exactly seven armored personnel carriers (APCs). This company sealed off the area, actively participated in the forced disappearance of bodies, and took part in the forcible displacement of civilians from Rafah.

    The APCs utilized 200 cartridges of 7.62×51mm NATO rounds that day on their machine guys that day

    9. In a particularly harrowing case, a 55-year-old man and his 12-year-old son were detained by Israeli troops. While the IDF claimed that the detention demonstrated an intention to avoid indiscriminate killing, our findings show it served a military objective.

    Acting on orders from a high-ranking officer, the civilian man was used as a human shield, forced to dress as a paramedic, perform tasks under coercion and deliver military threats to civilians in Tel Sultan. He was made to proclaim: “Tell the residents to evacuate. Anyone remaining in Tel Sultan after 14:00 will be executed.” His son was held hostage to ensure his compliance.

    10. We also identified a D9 bulldozer operator from the Tzama Company of the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion as likely responsible for digging the mass grave where the bodies of the aid workers, along with their vehicles, were buried. The D9 Company is under the command of 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐡𝐞𝐧

    The bulldozer at the massacre scene

    11. Notably, visual evidence we obtained shows at least 17 soldiers leaving the exact ambush site the morning of the attack.

    The IDF’s own internal investigation acknowledges the involvement of at least 24 soldiers and their commanders.

    12. Of the 10 civilian victims we identified, at least 7 were executed by gunfire or shelling in the presence of Israeli forces on Baraksat area, where the auxiliary unit, Company A team members, the deputy battalion commander, and tanks from the 87th Battalion were all present.

    13. According to several testimonies from residents of Rafah, Israeli troops made an operational error when they set up a checkpoint near the Hilmi Saqr Mosque, under the mistaken belief that only a few residents remained in the Saudi area of Tel Sultan neighborhood and that residents would move through the mosque street. They soon realized, however, that a number of civilians were moving along Tayran Street, both of which lead to the main evacuation road. In response, they temporarily closed the checkpoint between 11:00 and 11:20 to redirect people toward Alam Junction and take the road leading to the coast from there.

    When civilians reached the area, two civilians were killed and six others injured by Israeli troops present there, including a father Mohammed Turki Abo Hasanin who was shot dead reportedly holding a white flag afront of his kids

    14. SMS messages obtained show an IDF Intelligence Officer, known by the alias Captain Hosam, issuing threats to civilians—warning that their tents and all belongings would be bombed if they failed to take them

    This highlight an intent to target civilian infrastructure .

    15. Among the civilians killed by Israeli troops on that day are three Egyptian nationals—including two young girls—between 06:30 and 06:45, as they walked along a main road just 200–300 meters from the massacre site in the sight of the tanks.

    The family had been sheltering nearby but were forced to flee after an earlier shelling killed an elderly couple and destroyed the tent behind them.

    To this day, their bodies have not been recovered. The mother of the two daughters states that Israel has refused to allow her to retrieve the remains of her daughters and husband.

    Special thanks to those who cannot be named for security reasons, and to the incredible Brazilian criminal defense attorney Maira Pinheiro—Instagram: advmaira—whose was vital in drafting this dossier.

    All intake forms and perpetrator evidence was managed under strict chain of custody protocols to ensure its admissibility in court.

    For context, these soldiers operated under the command of Lt. Col. David Cohen, who is genocidal.

    The deputy battalion commander injured in October is Major Matan Yosef. He is mentioned here because he may have also been involved in previous operations of a similar nature.

  • 100 days of DOGE: lots of chaos, not so much efficiency | Reuters
    https://www.reuters.com/world/us/100-days-doge-lots-chaos-not-so-much-efficiency-2025-04-24

    Summary
    • DOGE efforts lead to bottlenecks, longer wait times for public, and brain drain
    • Musk to step back from DOGE, future of cost-cutting uncertain
    • Critics question DOGE’s claimed savings and its lack of transparency

    WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - At the Social Security Administration, lawyers, statisticians and other high-ranking agency officials are being sent from the Baltimore headquarters to regional offices to replace veteran claims processors who have been fired or taken buyouts from the Trump administration.

    But most of the new arrivals don’t know how to do the job, leading to longer wait times for disabled and elderly Americans who depend on these benefits, according to two people familiar with the situation. Asked about the changes, an SSA official said in an email that reassigned employees “have vast knowledge about our programs and services.”

    At the Internal Revenue Service, the internet has become so patchy since President Donald Trump ordered remote workers back to overcrowded offices that staff are resorting to personal hotspots, crashing their computers at the height of tax processing season, two IRS officials told Reuters. The IRS did not respond to a request for comment.

    Nearly 100 days into what Trump and tech billionaire Elon Muskhave called a mission to make the federal bureaucracy more efficient, Reuters found 20 instances where the staff and funding cuts led to purchasing bottlenecks and increased costs; paralysis in decision-making; longer public wait times; higher-paid civil servants filling in menial jobs, and a brain drain of scientific and technological talent.

    “DOGE is not a serious exercise,” said Jessica Riedl, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a fiscally conservative think tank that supports streamlining government. She estimates DOGE has only saved $5 billion to date, and believes it will end up costing more than it saves.
    The examples - previously unreported - span 14 government agencies and were described in Reuters interviews with three dozen federal workers, union representatives and governance experts.
    Although these accounts do not provide a comprehensive picture of the project by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to drastically cut the cost and size of the federal bureaucracy, they do reveal collateral damage resulting from DOGE’s efforts to make the sprawling federal bureaucracy more efficient.

    In response to questions about the impact of DOGE’s cuts on government efficiency, White House spokesman Harrison Fields said in a statement that Musk’s team “has already modernized government technology, prevented fraud, streamlined processes, and identified billions of dollars in savings for American taxpayers.”

    Fields did not offer examples of improvements to government computer systems or workforce efficiency.

    SAVING BILLIONS
    Musk confirmed on Tuesday he will step back next month from his role overseeing DOGE. His 130-day mandate as a special government employee was set to expire at the end of May. He said he will continue to help Trump overhaul the government, but not full-time. His reduced role leaves DOGE’s future in doubt, but governance experts said they believe the cost-cutting will continue.
    Musk and his lieutenants have to date provided little concrete evidence about how the government is operating more efficiently as a result of the mass layoffs and terminated government contracts.
    DOGE teams that have burrowed into a swath of government agencies and their computer systems operate in great secrecy, dozens of government officials have told Reuters.

    A DOGE website that gives regular updates on what it claims it has saved U.S. taxpayers - $160 billion to date - has been riddled with errors and corrections.

    The White House provided Reuters with examples of cost savings including: the uncovering of more than $630 million in fraudulent loans made by the Small Business Administration to applicants over the age of 115 and under the age of 11 in 2020-2021; $382 million in fraudulent unemployment payments by the Labor Department since 2020; and trimming $18 million in leasing costs at the Environmental Protection Agency by moving staff out of a building in Washington.

    Reuters was unable to independently verify those claims.

    DOGE did not respond to requests for comment. In an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on March 27, Musk said his team is careful how it makes cuts, admits to and fixes errors, and has discovered “astonishing” amounts of waste and fraud.

    CANNOT BUY DRY ICE
    In its drive to cut costs, DOGE says it has canceled almost 500,000 government credit cards. It has placed a $1 limit on many others, and centralized decision making within some agency headquarters. That means managers in some regional offices can’t buy basic supplies.
    At one center at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, it took a scientist a month to get authorization to buy $200 of dry ice to preserve urine samples, a purchase usually made at a local supermarket. Because the administration has barred many employees from making purchases, a colleague in another regional office who still has a government credit card paid for the dry ice, but it had to be shipped to the lab - at an additional cost of $100, according to a source familiar with the matter.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which oversees NIOSH, did not respond to a request for comment.

    DOGE and the White House have also banned many agencies from communicating with outside vendors as they halt thousands of federal contracts.

    One casualty of the ban: a nearly half-a-million dollar chemical analysis instrument at a CDC facility in Cincinnati, which has sat idle for months because scientists can’t schedule training with the vendor to start using the machine, according to a person familiar with the situation.

    The CDC did not respond to a request for comment.

    At the Social Security Administration, in a four-day period in the first week of March, computer systems crashed 10 times. Because a quarter of the agency’s IT staff have quit or been fired, it’s taking longer to get the systems online again, disrupting the processing of claims, one IT worker told Reuters.

    Few dispute the SSA’s computer systems are old, often crash and need updating. Musk told Baier the agency’s computer systems are “failing”, and “we’re fixing it.”

    HUMANITARIAN AID CUT
    Since its founding on Trump’s first day in the White House, DOGE has largely shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development, which provides aid to the world’s needy, canceling more than 80 percent of its humanitarian programs. Almost all of the agency’s employees will be fired by September, all of its overseas offices shut, with some functions absorbed into the State Department.
    At home, the government overhaul has resulted in the firing, resignations and early retirements of 260,000 civil servants, according to a Reuters tally.

    Over 20,000 probationary workers - recently hired or recently reassigned employees - were fired in February. After court rulings they were reinstated but most were sent home on full pay. Most are now being fired again after further court decisions.

    Trump and Musk have said the U.S. government is beset by fraud and waste. Few civil servants and governance experts dispute efficiencies can be made, but say there are already people inside the federal bureaucracy trying to save taxpayer dollars. Yet some of these offices have been targeted for cuts by DOGE.

    In January, Trump fired 17 inspectors general, whose mission as government watchdogs includes reducing waste and fraud.
    Christi Grimm, who was fired as the Department of Health and Human Services inspector general, told Reuters she had identified for expected recovery $14.5 billion - “cold hard cash expected to come back to the U.S. Treasury” - over three years from audits and fraud investigations.

    Last month, DOGE eliminated one of the few government units charged with streamlining technology across the federal government, a 90-member team known as 18-F.

    Waldo Jaquith, who worked for 18F between 2016 and 2020, said the team had saved the Pentagon $500 million during one three-day project alone after discovering two departments were unwittingly doing the same work.

    Reuters was not able to independently verify that figure.

    “18F worked just how Musk and his team pretend that they want government to work. But when his team found it, they destroyed it,” Jaquith said.
    18F was deemed “non-critical” by Thomas Shedd, a Trump appointee at the General Services Administration, in an email to staff last month.

  • Matthieu Amiech, Surveillance « intelligente », 2024
    vers le règne de l’arbitraire techno-bureaucratique ?

    Au début de 2023, en marge d’un dossier sur les dangers des ondes électromagnétiques pour la santé, le premier numéro du journal d’investigation La Brèche proposait une série de petits articles et entretiens sur les retombées du mode de vie numérique en matière de liberté et de #surveillance. En deux pages, au moins cinq facettes de ces évolutions étaient évoquées : « Les preuves d’un avortement illégal fournies à la police [du Nebraska] par… Facebook » ; « Lopmi, une loi pour “une vision fantasmée des policiers connectés” » ; « Appariement algorithmique : “des dispositifs qui soulèvent des questions politiques” » ; « Des outils de Google mis à la disposition d’Israël [pour surveiller la population palestinienne] » ; « Bracelet connecté [pour les collégiens de la Sarthe] : un progrès à grands pas ».

    La banalisation des technologies d’#intelligence_artificielle à des fins de surveillance provoque ainsi quelques remous dans la société française, à défaut du débat approfondi qui serait à la hauteur des enjeux. Les alarmes tirées par différents acteurs, depuis le début des années 2000, sur le déclin rapide des libertés publiques du fait de certaines innovations numériques semblent actuellement se concrétiser autour de différents dispositifs : en premier lieu, le développement de la vidéosurveillance algorithmique et le recours possible à des logiciels de reconnaissance faciale ; mais aussi les algorithmes de notation des citoyens, qui, combinés aux avancées de l’#identité_numérique, font planer le spectre d’un système de #crédit_social général, dans des pays pourtant marqués par la tradition du libéralisme politique.

  • On le pensait inutile... en réalité, cet organe pourrait sauver des milliers de vies !
    https://sciencepost.fr/on-le-pensait-inutile-en-realite-cet-organe-pourrait-sauver-des-milliers

    Pendant de nombreuses années, les médecins ont retiré un organe à leurs patients, le pensant superflu. Il s’agit du thymus, une petite glande graisseuse se trouvant derrière le sternum et devant le cœur. Pourtant, selon une étude récente, il pourrait sauver des vies.
    Le thymus, un organe supposé inutile après la puberté

    Le thymus est un organe que l’on retrouve dans la partie supérieure du thorax, à l’arrière de la partie supérieure du sternum, le manubrium sternal, et juste devant le cœur. Cet organe joue durant l’enfance un rôle très important dans le développement du système immunitaire, si bien que son retrait à un âge très jeune a pour conséquence une réduction à long terme du nombre de cellules T (ou lymphocytes T). Rappelons que ces cellules sont des globules blancs capables de lutter contre les infections et les maladies. Par ailleurs, retirer le thymus induirait une réduction des effets positifs des vaccins.

    Toutefois, il réduit en taille après la puberté et produit ensuite beaucoup moins de cellules T. Ainsi, de nombreux médecins ont longtemps pensé que le retirer pendant une opération du cœur ne présentait aucun risque. Autrement dit, les professionnels estimaient que le thymus devenait inutile à l’âge adulte. Et si en réalité, le thymus ne perdait pas son utilité avec le temps ? Cette hypothèse est soutenue par une étude pilotée par le Massachusetts General Hospital (États-Unis) et publiée dans le New England Journal of Medecine le 3 août 2023. Les médecins ont en effet analysé les données de plus de 7 000 patients ayant subi une opération du cœur, dont 6 000 ayant subi une ablation du thymus.
    schéma humain

    Une utilité insoupçonnée pour les adultes

    Selon les auteurs de l’étude, les patients dépourvus de thymus présentaient deux fois plus de risques de perdre le vie dans les cinq ans suivant leur opération. Plus précisément, les années suivant une chirurgie ablative sont particulièrement sensibles, car le risque de contracter un #cancer est deux fois plus important. De plus, il est souvent question d’un cancer plus agressif et qui a plus de risques de récidive.

    Les auteurs de ces travaux sont évidemment étonnés des résultats, bien que leur étude relève purement de l’observation. En effet, il n’est pas formellement prouvé que l’ablation du #thymus est à l’origine des résultats évoqués dans ces travaux. Toutefois, les médecins pensent qu’il existe un fort lien. En effet, les prélèvements sanguins d’un sous-ensemble de patients ayant subi une ablation du thymus présentaient une réduction de la diversification des récepteurs de #cellules_T.

    Ainsi, les auteurs pensent que l’ablation du thymus pourrait favoriser le développement de cancers et/ou de maladies auto-immunes. Selon les médecins, même si l’organe produit beaucoup moins de cellules T à l’âge adulte, cette production de nouvelles unités contribue à garder les individus en bonne santé. Ils déconseillent donc désormais de retirer le thymus de l’organisme des patients.

    April 24, 2025 | Palestinian Centre for Human Rights
    https://pchrgaza.org/israeli-occupation-forces-assassinate-journalist-his-wife-and-daughter-in-

    (...) According to PCHR’s documentation, on Wednesday, 23 April 2025, an Israeli warplane fired a missile at journalist Sa’id Amin Abu Hasanein (42) , targeting and killing him, his wife, Asmaa’ Jihad Abu Hasanein and their 15-year-old daughter, Sarah, while they were walking on al-Bee’ah Street, central Deir al-Balah. Hasanein worked in sound engineering and audio mixing at Al-Aqsa Voice Radio in Gaza.

    With this crime, the number of journalists killed by IOF since 07 October 2023 has risen to 212, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office. This war has taken a record toll since the recording of journalist fatalities started in 1992. Among those killed were 13 female journalists. Meanwhile, the majority of journalists were killed in Israeli warplane and drone airstrikes, and the remaining were shot dead by Israeli snipers. Most journalists were killed alongside their families in targeted attacks on their homes, while others were killed in indiscriminate bombings throughout the ongoing genocide. Some journalists were directly targeted and killed while others were killed on duty. Additionally, 194 journalists have been injured under various circumstances during the aggression. Moreover, a large number of social media activists have been targeted by the IOF, who systematically incite against them and threaten to kill them if they do not remain silent. (...)
