Liu Liange, former chairman of the Bank of China, was on Tuesday sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve for bribe-taking and illegal issuing of loans.

He was found to have accepted bribes worth over 121 million yuan (about $16.8 million), according to a court verdict.

Pro-Palestine activist and funder Fergie Chambers was detained by Spanish police on Friday as the Trump administration attempts to extradite him to the US on federal charges with a potential sentence of 30 years in prison, including “international money laundering… with the intent to provide material support to and resources to foreign terrorist organizations," according to a sealed indictment reviewed by The Grayzone (@TheGrayzoneNews).

￭ "The sealed indictment offers no evidence that Chambers has donated any money to 'foreign terrorist organizations.' It merely states 'Chambers made numerous transfers of funds from banks in the US to banks in Tunisia,' where he relocated in late 2023," according to The Grayzone.

￭ Chambers was denied bail in an Ibiza court on Saturday and is expected to appeal for bail on Thursday.

￭ This is the first time an individual has faced extradition to the US from Spain for supporting the Palestinian liberation struggle, and marks a major escalation in US repression of anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist movements.

Deciding which non-capitalist ideology you like is the easy part, fun even. Unlearning all the capitalist propaganda you were fed about the world is the hard part bc it means admitting you were wrong about everything. A lot of people do the first but not the second.

If you want to know why many are saying ‘good riddance’ instead of ‘RIP’ after Lindsey Graham passed away…

Here he is advocating for Israel to use nuclear weapons in Gaza, where the median age is just 20, and 47% of the population are children.

Isaac Woodard, veterano de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, posa junto a su madre, Sarah Woodard, tras quedarse ciego después de recibir una brutal paliza por parte de un policía racista blanco cuando se dirigía a ver a su familia en Carolina del Sur, EEUU.

12 de julio de 1946.

Isaac venía de luchar contra los nazis en la Segunda Guerra Mundial... cuando nada más llegar a EEUU, apenas unas horas después de volver a casa y aún con su uniforme militar puesto, fue apalizado hasta quedarse ciego por un policía supremacista blanco de su propio pais, le dañó incluso las cuencas de los ojos y los nervios solo por una simple discusión un autobús.

Esta escena no salía en Salvar al Soldado Ryan, los policías estadounidenses son igual o más racistas que los nazis.

@Bajan_Bambino So explain it to me why a dude that supported killing children and other war crimes should be treated with any respect at all.

"Israel is killing journalists in Gaza at a scale the world has never seen. The role of a press freedom organization should be to defend them and demand accountability, not to help Israel cast doubt on the people it has killed," says @AliAbunimah of leaked emails that reveal push at CPJ (@pressfreedom) to exclude Palestinian journalists based on political criteria.

We're told that food safety is mainly a matter of inspections and regulation. That's part of it, but no amount of monitoring can fix a system whose priority is to generate profit for shareholders. So why does the conversation rarely go there? Read more:

This is pretty insane: if you read the details of this new policy 👇 that now bans scientific collaboration with China, it's entirely driven by the Department of War.

Which means that civilian scientific research in the US is now driven by military logic - something that had basically never been the case since WW2.

I'm not making it up, you can read the new policy of the National Science Foundation for yourself: https://t.co/Bjx8sbIrcW

They explicitly write that the basis for this new prohibition is to be "aligned with the Department of War's approach to collaborations": a civilian science agency - the one that funds most fundamental research in the US - is now openly modeling its policies on the military's. The Pentagon decides who the enemy is, and science falls in line.

It doesn't take a genius to understand how this will backfire. Cancer, for instance, doesn't care about geopolitics. Some of the most promising research in oncology, like every other field, depends on international collaboration (and especially with China who are extremely advanced in cancer research, and most research fields). Putting soldiers in charge of who scientists can talk to is a guarantee that these problems will be harder to solve.

It's also the US repudiating pretty much its entire philosophical approach to scientific research for decades: the notion that science thrives on openness. Even at the height of the Cold War, Reagan - not exactly a peacenik - enacted a directive called "NSDD-189" that stated that fundamental research must remain open and unrestricted.

This is, obviously, the complete opposite direction.

The only precedent I can think of for this is the Wolf Amendment, passed in 2011, which prohibited NASA to engage in bilateral cooperation with China. The result, 15 years later: China is the only country in the world to have its own space station and to have landed on the far side of the Moon.

That's the track record of the policy they now want to extend to all of US science 🤷‍♂️

Former Colombian President Gustavo Petro accused Israeli digital intelligence and cyber influence company BlackCore of interfering in the Colombian presidential elections, claiming it influenced the electoral process and altered the results in favor of President elect Abelardo de la Espriella.

Petro said the company used algorithms and databases to influence the final vote count, including replacing data of non participating voters with fake or duplicate votes. He added that he has evidence but has not released it publicly.

He also pointed to a possible link between BlackCore and Colombian company Thomas Greg & Sons, which provided logistical and technical services for the elections.
