He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.
Thomas Aquinas
Bloody grifter cowards.
The Islamic Republic of Iran Railways announced that "all passenger train movements on the Tehran-Mashhad route have been disrupted" by cowardly US bombing of CIVILIAN INFRASTRUCTURE.
Passengers from affected trains are being transported to Mashhad by road.
Today is the final day of the funeral processions for assassinated Ayatollah Khamenei in Mashhad.
🇪🇺‼️🚨 THE EU TRICK EXPLAINED
Because Chat Control was a proposal from the European Council, 360 votes were required to cancel it.
360 votes represent a majority of all MEPs, not just those present.
The trick was to schedule the vote on the final voting day before the summer recess, when many MEPs are already absent or on vacation. In that way there are not enough voters to cancel the law.
→ Hence today’s vote to cancel Chat Control only received 314 out of the 360 votes needed.
In such a flipped cancellation vote, every absentee effectively counts as a vote for the bad law.
The Ursula and co using EU’s own long vacation policy to trick the parliament and push through surveillance is peak EU.
PS: Video with members of the European Council who pushed Chat Control through … Ursula, Macron, Merz, Meloni and co.
Aquí tenéis la lista de la vergüenza: todos los eurodiputados de PP y PSOE que han votado a favor de que Bruselas pueda acceder a los mensajes privados de TODOS los europeos en las redes sociales.
Esta medida ya fue tumbada en dos ocasiones, es tiránica y antidemocrática.
🇵🇪 "Que gobierne en favor de todos los peruanos", pide Balcázar a Fujimori
🤝 La presidenta electa peruana Keiko Fujimori recibió en su oficina de transición al presidente saliente José María Balcázar, quien le dio "varios consejos" de cara a su asunción, a finales de julio, al frente del país que ha tenido ocho mandatarios en sólo una década.
🗣 "Yo creo que un buen gobierno con buenos propósitos, lo que decide el país es diálogo permanente entre todos los peruanos", declaró Balcázar junto a Fujimori. "Le deseo el mejor éxito en el futuro para que gobierne en favor de todos los peruanos sin exclusión alguna", agregó el jefe de Estado interino.
👉 Por su parte, la mandataria electa agradeció la "gentileza" de Balcázar y la "disposición" de su Administración para llevar a cabo el proceso de transición, cuya ceremonia de posesión se realizará el 28 de julio próximo.
And she’s smirking about it and f’course she does! While everything was going according to their filthy plan. Societies among Europe were digging into their navels, unaware of the evil working over em. And it’s their fault!
🇪🇺 The EU just passed Chat Control 1.0 in Brussels.
Platforms can now scan your private messages again, officially "voluntary," in practice blanket surveillance.
Here's the democratic scandal: 314 MEPs voted against it. Only 276 voted for it.
It passed anyway... because an absolute majority of all MEPs was required to reject it, not just a majority of those present.
More people voted no than yes. It still passed.
Pushed through on an urgent procedure just before summer recess, when absences are highest and attention is lowest.
This is how rights disappear folks. Not in one dramatic moment, but in procedural fine print, on a slow news day, while everyone's looking at Tehran.

It's disheartening. That millions of people have no idea what's being approved in Brussels today.
It's stunning. That it's the European People's Party pushing it through.
It's infuriating. That they're doing it by twisting parliamentary rules.
It's insulting. That they hide behind children to justify it.
It's outrageous. That tomorrow's absences will count as votes in favor. That anyone who skips the trip to Strasbourg is, without knowing it, voting yes.
It's cynical. That they picked the last session day before summer recess, when half the chamber has already packed its bags.
It's serious. That blocking the text requires an absolute majority of 361 votes, while pushing it through just takes an empty room.
It's telling. That when a Parliament loses a vote, the answer isn't to accept it, but to change the rules until it wins.
It's troubling. That end-to-end encryption, the last real frontier of privacy, now hinges on a calendar trick.
It's paradoxical. That child protection is the justification, while child-safety organizations themselves are asking for the legal gaps to be fixed first, not for the extension to pass as is.
It's telling, again. That the European Data Protection Supervisor himself warns that any renewal must avoid general, indiscriminate scanning, and that warning changes nothing.
It's opportunistic. That the text on the table today is the exact same one Parliament rejected months ago, not a comma changed, just dressed in different procedure.
It's a bridge. That this temporary extension, the 1.0 version, is precisely the vehicle keeping alive the debate over the permanent Chat Control 2.0, the one that would make scanning mandatory.
It's alarming. That the exception is no longer framed until tomorrow, but until 2028, two years of room to normalize what in March was called unacceptable.
It's reckless. That an urgent procedure meant for real emergencies is being used for the sole purpose of dodging the outcome of a previous vote.
And it is, above all, a warning. Of how easy it is to legislate over the privacy of 450 million people when you pick the right day for no one to be watching.
We keep going…
🇪🇺 Triste avenir pour les européens...

‼️🇫🇷🇲🇦 Fans OUTRAGED as FIFA confirms referees for Francs vs Morocco are all Argentine
Is FIFA really trying everything to rig the World Cup for Argentina?
Today is a dark day for freedom and democracy in Europe. General chat surveillance has been implemented in Brussels. A disgrace.
The so-called Chat Control 1.0 cleared a crucial hurdle in the European Parliament today. This means platforms may once again be allowed to scan private messages, officially on a “voluntary” basis, but in practice this marks the return of indiscriminate monitoring of private communication.
What makes this especially bitter is that a majority of the MEPs who voted were reportedly against it. According to Patrick Breyer, 314 MEPs voted against the regulation, 276 voted in favor and 17 abstained. And yet the rejection failed because it was not enough to have a simple majority of those voting. An absolute majority of all MEPs would have been required.
That is the democratic scandal.
When a majority of those present votes against a proposal and it still passes because a formal threshold is not reached, it does not feel like democratic decision-making to many citizens. It feels like a procedural trick.
And it becomes even more problematic when you look at the context: Chat Control had already been rejected before. Yet the issue was put back on the agenda shortly before the summer break, through an urgent procedure, at a time when absences could become decisive.
This is not just some technical regulation. It goes to the very core of private communication. It is about whether digital messages remain fundamentally private or whether platforms may systematically scan content again, without concrete suspicion, without a court order and without any individual cause.
A free society must not turn private communication into a potential surveillance zone. Anyone who takes digital fundamental rights seriously cannot accept millions of innocent people being placed under general suspicion.
Today, a dangerous signal was sent: fundamental rights can be hollowed out through procedural logic, timing and political tricks. Not through an open, clear and honest majority, but through a system in which absence effectively helps the supporters.
This is a dark day for Europe.
Not because the fight is over, but because today showed how easily digital fundamental rights come under pressure when surveillance logic, symbolic politics and institutional tricks come together.
Anyone who wants a free internet, anyone who wants to protect private communication and anyone who takes democracy seriously should talk about this.
Share this issue. Inform yourself. Look at who voted how. And never forget: freedom rarely disappears all at once. It disappears step by step, often in technical details, often in complicated procedures and often exactly when too few people are watching.
