fascinerend verhaal hoe ook mainstream kranten (Globe and Mail, Canada) volledig de plank kunnen misslaan. Lees en huiver

Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.

There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.

Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.

Wat ook bij ons zelden geanalyseerd wordt.
Labour verloor aan de Groenen. Farage won doordat niet-kiezers opkwamen. Niet-kiezers bleven niettemin de 'grootste partij'.

Brilliant, talented, brave and resilient - Kacia is free, and she is now here on @X. Please follow her and support her in any way you can. She is now fighting for the release of her husband, Ihar Ilyash. Both are great journalists from #Belarus.

Folks, fact-checking doesn't combat disinformation. Close to zero. Waste of time. Waste of money. Put your resources elsewhere.

Please help these promising medical students from Gaza. There is nothing Gaza needs more than doctors, but they are struggling to pay their tuition and expenses.

Everyone should read what the Israeli military did to journalist Amal Khalil today in this minute-by-minute account as the international community watched in horror. First the text messages threatening her then trapping her and a photographer in a house then bombing them then firing on international rescue crews, all with the world watching in real time. There are no words left for the horrors that U.S. political leaders are enabling.

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

Karl Gorath, un enfermero alemán, fue enviado en 1943 por Hitler al campo de concentración de Auschwitz por ser homosexual.

En 1945, tras ser liberado de Auschwitz por el Ejército Rojo, Karl volvió a casa en la Alemania Occidental... se encontró al mismo juez nazi que lo condenó en la época Hitler y lo volvió a condenar por homosexual en 1947.

Cuando Karl entró al juzgado en 1947, el mismo juez nazi que lo condenó con Hitler, ahora en la supuesta "democrática" Alemania Occidental, le dijo: "¡Estás aquí de nuevo!".

El artículo 175 de "indecencia natural" endurecido por los nazis en 1935, fue conservado después por EEUU y Reino Unido en la Alemania Occidental.

Así fue la falsa "transición" y "desnazificación" de Alemania Occidental dirigida por EEUU/UK, que luego fue copiada por estos mismos en toda clase de dictaduras fascistas como España o Chile.

Ukraine is still the world’s most mine-contaminated country, with 133,300 sq. km remaining to be cleared from explosive ordnance.

Sappers risk their lives to make Ukrainian land safe again.
