Se cumplen 64 años de la Operación Ranch Hand, en la cual el ejército imperialista de EEUU roció más de 80 millones de litros de Agente Naranja sobre el sur de Vietnam, envenenando a más de 4,8 millones de vietnamitas.
400.000 vietnamitas murieron o sufrieron lesiones permanentes debido a la exposición al Agente Naranja, el compuesto químico más tóxico jamás creado por el hombre, que destruyó el 20% de todos los bosques del pais y envenenó 10 millones de hectáreas de tierras que quedaron infértiles y contaminadas para siempre.
Cerca de medio millón de niños vietnamitas han nacido con graves malformaciones congénitas o discapacidades físicas y mentales, además potenciar más de 20 enfermedades graves, incluyendo cánceres y trastornos nerviosos.
I am gravely concerned by reports of a severe deterioration in the condition of Dr. Abu Safiyah.
We reiterate our demands for his release, along with all other doctors being held without charge.

No accountability for any of them
Watch | An Israeli occupation soldier deliberately hurled a grenade at Palestinian civilians inside their vehicle in Qalandiya refugee camp, north of occupied Jerusalem.
IDF monsters laughing as a toddler shakes as it dies with its legs blown off. An archive of horrors upon horrors that shame humankind. Where is the 'Screams Without Words' for this? Where are the special journalist screenings for genocide? Legacy media are Zionist scum
BREAKING (bones)
Why does "Bring Them Home" exist only for some hostages?
Because in Apartheid Israel, where only Jewish lives matter, brutalising the Palestinians isn't an anomaly - it is the system. And the silence around it is the exact measure of our collective hypocrisy.
The same Judge which issued contempt of court proceedings against the leading barrister of Palestine Action activists, reinstated a barrister who lied about his qualifications.
The stitch-up of the Filton trial is entirely political.
At the Conservative Friends of Israel annual lunch, Tory MP Nick Timothy says “the war in Gaza is no genocide…”, to rapturous applause.
These people are despicable.
Severn Trent Water company doubles CEO reward plan to £3.1m.
Reward for what?
400m litres of water a day lost to leaks.
Sewage dumped into rivers for 200000 hrs
Customers fleeced
No new reservoir since 1989

Julian Assange’s 55th birthday, a reminder of why he was persecuted for over a decade:
Wikileaks under Assange released the Collateral Murder video shows Reuters journalists, Saeed Chmagh and Namir Noor-Eldeen being gunned down by a US Apache helicopter. Several others were killed while the US pilots laughed.
The US wants to extradite and imprison Julian Assange for 175 years.
When China builds infrastructure in Africa, Western governments call it a "debt trap."
When the IMF lent money to African governments under structural adjustment conditions that required selling off public utilities, cutting healthcare spending, and opening markets to foreign competition that destroyed domestic industry?
That was called "development assistance."
The "debt trap" accusation is often exaggerated and selectively applied. Chinese lending, like all international financing, should be examined case by case, and the terms of individual projects should remain open to scrutiny. That is a fair conversation to have.
But that conversation cannot be had honestly without acknowledging that the West has been running debt-based leverage over developing nations for roughly eighty years, through institutions it controls, using conditions it designed, producing outcomes that consistently benefited Western capital while leaving the borrowing nations more structurally dependent than before they borrowed.
The sudden Western concern about African sovereignty when Chinese money enters the picture is not concern for African sovereignty.
African sovereignty has never been a Western priority.
The concern is about competition.
About someone else getting access to the resources and the relationships and the political leverage that Western institutions have treated as their exclusive inheritance since decolonization produced independent governments that still needed external capital.
Concern for Africa.
From the people who designed structural adjustment.
The audacity of it should be theatrical. Instead it is just policy.

El 3 de julio de 1962, se proclamaba la independencia de Argelia, el imperialismo francés era derrotado, tras perpetrar una brutal guerra de exterminio colonial contra el honorable pueblo argelino.
Más de 5 millones de argelinos murieron a manos de los colonialistas franceses en apenas un cuarto de siglo, las torturas y los asesinatos contra los miembros de la resistencia argelina fueron brutales.
Los soldados coloniales franceses arrasaron pueblos enteros mientras capturaban y torturaban a todo el que se resistía, con brutales formas como la electrocución, además de usar los pozos de agua como prisiones, lanzar a los argelinos desde helicópteros con piedras atadas a los pies y decapitar sus cabezas para luego coleccionarlas.
La mayor masacre colonial francesa en un solo dia en Argelia, irónicamente se dio mientras Francia celebraba su liberación del nazismo, el 8 de mayo de 1945, cuando cientos de miles de argelinos salieron a las calles a pedir independencia, el ejército francés los acribilló a balazos matando al menos a 45.000 civiles.
Otro de los crímenes poco conocidos del colonialismo francés en Argelia, es cuando usó al pais más de 57 veces como campo de pruebas nucleares entre 1960 y 1966, los experimentos nucleares fueron 4 veces mayor al bombardeo de Hiroshima en Japón.
Los experimentos nucleares franceses mataron a más de 42.000 argelinos e hirieron a miles más debido a la radiactividad nuclear, que más de 60 años después siguen visibles sus secuelas, provocando una gran contaminación radiactiva de la tierra y el aire.
El Frente de Liberación Nacional argelino logró la claudicación del colonialismo francés en una de las guerras de liberación nacional más crueles de la descolonización africana, aunque tras 132 años de opresión imperialista, finalmente el pueblo argelino logró la expulsión de alrededor de un millón de colonos europeos originarios de Francia, Italia o España.
Francia nunca reconoció sus crímenes en Argelia y tardó décadas en ni siquiera reconocer el término "guerra" contra Argelia.
La guerra de liberación nacional que hoy se da en Palestina debe acabar igual, los colonos deben volver a Europa y se debe terminar con el apartheid racista.
Both were attacked by racists in Ireland.
Both ended up in hospital with lifetime scars.
Both attacks happened in June.
Both are Somali migrants.
Targeting people because they look different to you is a sign of weakness not strength.
Bigots openly spread a doctrine that led to this kind of attacks, they discuss it online on daily basis “make it hostile for them so they can leave” is the idea.
We have an obligation for the wellbeing of immigrants in Ireland. Actions speak louder than words.
A Congolese national refugee, by the name of Thierry Nima, is fighting for his life after he was violently attacked and stabbed outside his home in the South Beach area of Durban, South Africa.
The incident occurred yesterday, amid a wave of Afrophobic tensions in the region.
The attackers (March and March Thugs) ambushed him, reportedly identified themselves as Zulus and explicitly ordered him to leave South Africa immediately, then stabbed him in the neck before fleeing the scene.
Current Medical Status: Nima sustained life-threatening injuries and is currently hospitalised in a coma at Addington Hospital in Durban. He is a father to a young family.
