"..l’Occidente non ricorda i morti dell’Olocausto, bensì usa la tragedia degli Ebrei per mirarsi nello specchio e riflettere la propria immagine dell’Occidente e mettere a confronto nazismo e liberalismo inventore della civiltà..."

Can you believe someone wrote this 70 years ago?
'By means of ever more effective methods of mind manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms - elections, parliaments, supreme courts, and all the rest - will remain.
The underlying substance will be a new kind of totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days. Democracy and freedom will be the theme of every broadcast and editorial. Meanwhile the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the shows as they see fit'. (Aldoes Huxley in Brave New World Revisited - credits to Steven Desanghere for bringing this quote to my attention).
It's All Much Worse Than I Thought
The corporate media are all-in on government censorship
Over the last three years, we have come to learn of the role that our own government officials have played in demanding censorship by social media platforms. Some of this censorship was overt, particularly as it related to COVID. However, some of it was also done in secrecy, as we discovered in the Twitter Files. Many of us thought that once we had uncovered the censorship, governments would be sufficiently embarrassed to stop doing it. And to some extent, that has been the case.
But now, governments around the world are stepping up their efforts to demand more censorship. Last week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation quietly announced it had resumed its outreach to social media companies. Scotland’s Police could even investigate comedians under a new hate speech law if someone complains about a joke. Major media outlets are currently working with government-funded censorship activists at the University of Washington and Stanford Internet Observatory to demand greater censorship in the name of “saving Democracy.”
Without a doubt, those of us who have uncovered censorship have had an impact. On “60 Minutes” last Sunday, the government-funded advocates of censorship at the University of Washington said they have stopped demanding censorship of social media platforms. Simply drawing awareness to who is demanding censorship and who is funding them has weakened their power.
But governments, government-funded NGOs, and the news media have been relentless in their demands for a crackdown on speech they deem hateful and false. At the Supreme Court last week, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson expressed unironic concern that the First Amendment restricts the government’s ability to censor. And everyone from the New Yorker to the New York Times to NBC is suggesting that the only people who are worried about government censorship are Trump supporters, which is obviously false.
The 60 Minutes segment was particularly shocking. Lesly Stahl never mentioned the mass censorship of accurate information about COVID’S origins, COVID vaccines, and lockdowns. She falsely suggested that shining a light on the censorship activists was tantamount to persecution. And she suggested that if the government didn’t do more to censor misinformation, Trump supporters would overthrow the government, which is a form of disinformation aimed at scaring people into giving up our first and most fundamental freedom.
There are many reasons why they are doing this....
"We are going to be in an open prison... for the rest of our lives."

If you want food, you will get a calorie controlled system sent to you by text, saying this is what you can eat today... If you violate any of these things, they will freeze your bank account."

Che vergogna i manganelli contro gli studenti pro #Palestina a #Pisa.
Ah no scusate, questi sono gli idranti contro i #portuali quando il #Pd era al Governo.
Se governano stanno dalla parte dei manganelli, appena vanno all’opposizione diventano Gandhi!
⚡BREAKING:
🇳🇴🇮🇱Norway at the trial in the ICJ went full Anti-Israel
Norway:
"Israel's actions in the OCCUPIED territories are a violation of international law"
“The apartheid wall is a violation of international law and makes the two-state solution difficult to achieve.
Gaza Strip and the West Bank are occupied territories regardless of any Israeli withdrawal.
The occupation remains temporary and cannot be continued or justified.
Israel violates international law and continues to violate it. Israel must abide by international law and provide the right to self-determination to the Palestinians.
Israel's actions in the occupied territories are a violation of international law.
It is not legal to annex any Palestinian lands or impose a fait accompli on the ground.
Establishing settlements in Palestinian territories violates Article 416 of the Geneva Convention.
Israel exploits natural resources to perpetuate its occupation of Palestinian territories.
Measures must be taken to prevent Israeli practices that violate international.”

This is quite extraordinary:
This is Ma Xinmin, China's Foreign Ministry's legal adviser, speaking on behalf of China, saying at the ICJ today that Israel is a colonizer and that the Palestinians have a right to resistance under international law, "including armed struggle", which he "in this context, is distinguished from acts of terrorism".
Here is the exact quote (after the quote I'll link to all the legal texts he refers to):
"The UNGA resolution 3070 of 1973, I quote ‘reaffirms the legitimacy of the peoples' struggle for liberation from colonial and foreign domination and alien subjugation by all available means, including armed struggle’.
This recognition is also reflected in international conventions. For example, the Arab Convention For The Suppression Of Terrorism of 1998, affirms, I quote: ‘the right of peoples to combat foreign occupation and aggression by whatever means, including armed struggle, in order to liberate their territories and secure their right to self-determination and independence’.
Armed struggle, in this context, is distinguished from acts of terrorism. It is granted in international law, this distinction is acknowledged by several international conventions. For example, article 3 of the OAU Convention on the Prevention and Combating of Terrorism of 1999 provides that, I quote: ‘the struggle waged by peoples in accordance with the principles of international law for their liberation or self-determination, including armed struggle against colonialism, occupation, aggression and domination by foreign forces shall not be considered as terrorist acts’.”
