Still alive

[Rob Rogers @andthemoonrose]

@KarlTurnerMP @TheGreenParty You can’t shift to the right and then just pretend you are still on the left because others have gone further right. We don’t want a concept of left and right like they have in the US. It’s not super democratic and governments do not govern for all the people.

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

Andy Burnham says Labour got Gaza wrong. If you're sorry, prove it.

1. Call it a genocide.
2. End the arms sales.
3. Stop sharing military intelligence with Israel.

The people of Gaza can't wait any longer.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

🚨BREAKING: With @Imran_HussainMP and 80 other MPs and Lords, I have written to the Foreign Secretary calling for comprehensive sanctions on Israel.

The world’s top court is clear. Israel’s occupation of Palestine is illegal - and Governments must act now to end it!

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is infuriating crap.

He says:

“There's increasing evidence that war crimes appear to have been committed.”

He knows Israel has committed war crimes on an industrial scale.

He’s refusing to say so because it would impose legal obligations on him to actually act.

[Rob Rogers @andthemoonrose]

@GoodwinMJ I know the Reform UK Limited grift requires spouting this nonsense, but this is desperate stuff. The individual and the company are discredited, and they’ve done it to themselves.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Can Burnham say that war crimes, let alone genocide, has occurred in Gaza?

Being clear on this is the most basic first step.

Without this, Labour hasn't even started its journey to rectifying for years of complicity and participation in this genocide.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

It’s staggering that Burnham thinks Israel “MAY” have committed war crimes — after three years of genocide and unfathomable atrocity crime after atrocity crime, such a statement is abject cowardice.

[Rob Rogers @andthemoonrose]

@policylaila Isn’t it still Reform UK Limited?

[Rob Rogers @andthemoonrose]

@FraserNelson Oh yes, definitely a man of the people.

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

@FraserNelson @stluedke “Me and my aristocrat friends are being hounded by the establishment”

They sound completely insane.

[Rob Rogers @andthemoonrose]

@Telegraph Man with track record of misjudgement does it again.

[Fiona Lali @fiona_lali]

For two years a LABOUR government SUPPORTED THE GENOCIDE AGAINST THE PALESTINIANS.

Now they’ve changed the man at the top and Labour MP’s are tweeting as though they’ve been on the side of Palestine the whole time!

Utter disgrace the lot of you!

[Rob Rogers @andthemoonrose]

@DuncanCampb3ll @Telegraph Vote bin and not for trash?

[Rob Rogers @andthemoonrose]

@CNN “He sought the high ground”…. Said no one ever about Nigel Farage.

[Kevin Schofield @KevinASchofield]

Nick Robinson to Zia Yusuf: "You say this is all about standing up to the establishment.
"You're a multi-millionaire. You made your money selling luxury helicopter charters and rare wines to the super-wealthy.
"Nigel Farage is a public schoolboy, a former commodities trader who gets £5m gifts from his friends and lives in a 5-storey house next to Buckingham Palace courtesy of a man convicted of fraud.
"Do you really think you are in a position at Reform UK to claim not to be part of the super-wealthy, self-serving establishment?"

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

“We did not provide support for offensive action by the US and Israel in Iran”, says foreign secretary @YvetteCooperMP.

In facts, for weeks her government allowed the US to use bases in Britain to build up its forces to bomb Iran.

Today In Dystopia

Today in dystopia Americans are becoming increasingly outraged by the ubiquitousness of Flock’s AI-assisted surveillance cameras throughout US cities. Flock officers getting caught in lies and viral video footage of police abusing their access to the technology have contributed to the outcry, with public vandalism of the cameras taking place with increasing frequency in public spaces.

Today in dystopia the German government is moving to ban workers from calling in sick by phone in order to boost the economy by reducing the amount of sick leave being taken by corporate employees. New regulations would require a certified in-person doctor’s visit on the very first day of sick leave. They’re just coming right out and saying that the public exists to serve the corporations now.

Today in dystopia we’re starting to see videos of quadrupedal robots firing guns with accuracy and minimal recoil. I know we’ve been calling these things “robot dogs” this whole time, but it is a bit of a misnomer when we’ve known from the beginning they were only ever intended as an all-terrain carrying system for autonomous weapons to suppress revolutions.

Today in dystopia YouTube is warning British content creators that proposed UK laws will result in decreased visibility of their videos on the platform, as the new rules would require the amplification of authorized narrative managers like the BBC above independent voices who may not regurgitate the official narratives of the empire.

Today in dystopia the entire western power structure is aggressively pushing the agenda to restrict children’s access to online pornography and social media platforms, which sounds fine until you realize that these laws are unenforceable without massive expansions in the government’s ability to track the internet use of everyone regardless of age. A major age verification law recently passed a House vote in the United States, despite resistance from online rights advocates and watchdog groups.

Today in dystopia the EU has authorized the criminal prosecution of anyone who shares videos from RT online due to sanctions placed on Russia following the invasion of Ukraine. European private citizens can now wind up doing actual jail time if they share RT videos on their own personal website under this new development.

Today in dystopia the president of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola is deploying a rarely used procedure in an effort to force through a controversial authoritarian internet surveillance law called Chat Control which has already been voted down by EU lawmakers. Metsola even cut off the microphone of a German MEP who attempted to argue against the move. Critics of Chat Control say the proposed laws, though ostensibly designed to curb distribution of child sexual abuse material online, would lead to the indiscriminate scanning of virtually all types of electronic communications throughout Europe.

Today in dystopia Australian “eSafety commissioner” Julie Inman is saying she wants the authority to prevent favored users from receiving large numbers of angry comments on social media, formally requesting a “notification power” which would enable her to demand that social media platforms suspend accounts who are contributing to “an avalanche of online hate” for an Australian deemed worthy of protection. Australian government officials and other high-profile public figures frequently find themselves “ratioed” by hostile comments from Australians who disagree with them; Inman’s proposal would conveniently bring an end to this type of public square accountability.

Today in dystopia activists have constructed an open-sourced website called Israel Exposed — War Crimes Archive to house video footage of Israeli atrocities in Gaza, because they know there’s going to be an ongoing effort to permanently erase the footage from every corner of the internet.

Today in dystopia top Israeli ministers have been openly and explicitly admitting to the premeditated elimination of entire Shia villages in Lebanon, but the entire western political/media establishment refuses to call it ethnic cleansing. This is because western politicians are empire managers, and western news broadcasters are propagandists.

Today in dystopia the governments are getting more and more secretive while forcing the public to become more and more transparent as our rulers construct a panopticon of surveillance systems all around us and develop robot armies to murder us if we ever try to turn against them. They are doing this while rapidly eroding our freedom of speech and rapidly shrinking our ability to find unauthorized information online, and while continuing their murderous atrocities around the globe to ensure the continuation of their planetary domination.

The longer we wait for revolution, the more weapons they’ll have in place to stop us.

‼️ The stages of UK diplomacy on Palestine are:

1. Israel has the right to defend itself.

2. Something appears to have happened to some Palestinians.

3. We are waiting for a court to tell us whether it was a crime.

4. No, not that court.

5. Or that one.

6. Actually, Judge, this is for ministers to decide, not the courts.

7. Ministers are deeply concerned…

8. …deeply concerned about members of the public protesting about what is happening.

9. While we establish who did the concerning thing, we will continue the arms-export carve-outs.

10. Strong decisive action is now needed - Ban a few pro-Palestinian protest groups and arrest a few grannies for terrorism.

11. We are aware of concerning reports about the concerning thing.

12. We have raised the concerning thing with the people accused of doing it.

13. Britain’s commitment to the rule of law is resolute.

14. Israel has the right to defend itself. Return to stage 1.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

1) It’s *literally* your job to regulate this platform.

2) If you can’t, what does that mean? Tell us.

3) The Dept of Culture is not ‘your’ department, it’s ours. You’re its temporary custodian

5) But Facebook is ok? Really?

[Cllr Martin Abrams @Martin_Abrams]

The Labour Government has continued to provide arms and intelligence to Israel throughout the Genocide in Gaza.

This is gaslighting on a genocidal scale.
