Today in Labor History May 15, 1912: French police gunned down Andre Rene Valet (1890-1912) and Octave Garnier (1889-1912), of the anarchist Bonnot Gang. The two were the last of the gang to be killed (or apprehended). They were attacked by 300 policemen and gendarmes, plus 800 soldiers. Yet even this was not enough to apprehend them. So, the cops set off a bomb that killed Garnier. Valet continued fighting, despite his mortal wounds. In the aftermath, the authorities went on a witch hunt, rounding up anarchists and labor activists throughout France, much like the Palmer raids in the U.S.

How could they have allowed that to happen?
This is the question everyone asks, years later, when looking back at mass atrocity crimes in the past. Everything’s so clear when it’s described in history books – war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide.
It’s not that these things aren’t clear at the time exactly. In fact, in recent decades, they have often been well-documented in excruciating detail more or less as they happen.

The #Trump $500M luxury #hotel project in #Serbia, slated to be built on the site of a bombed-out Defense Ministry building, has run into an embarrassing complication. A key document…was forged, ofcls there said this week.
#JaredKushner, Trump’s son-in-law, & his business partners plan to build a luxury residential & commercial complex on the site of the long-vacant compound that is slated to include a Trump International Hotel, the first in #Europe.
The leader of the Serbian agency charged w/protecting cultural monuments admitted to authorities that he had forged a govt document allowing the former Yugoslav Ministry of Defense HQ in #Belgrade to be demolished & replaced w/the #Trump #hotel.
Serbian government officials say that the agency’s leader, Goran Vasic, fabricated an expert opinion to justify the government’s decision to strip the site of its cultural heritage status.
The forged doc served as the legal basis for lifting protection from the complex. Vasic, who has served as the acting dir of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments since June, faces charges of abuse of office & #forgery of official documents.
