Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

India’s economy under Modi led BJP has gone worse from ‘fragile five’ to ‘vulnerable one’. No economy today is as vulnerable to growth, inflation, investment, exports, fiscal deficit shocks as India. Unhappy days ahead. Modi deforms have cost India badly. https://t.co/3sB1OwQLDu

At this point prices in The UK are just made up:

What do you mean a return train to London is £140?

How is a weekend away in England £600? I can go abroad for a week for that!

Why is a house that was £700 a month a few years ago now £1500 a month?

How is a full tank of fuel now costing more than £100?

Why is my car insurance going up every year on the same car with no claims?

How is 2 carrier bags of shopping costing me nearly £100?

We're honestly done aren't we.

Fortunately, Britain has a Bermuda-registered mass circulation newspaper owned by a French-domiciled billionaire, a television station owned by a Dubai hedge fund and a political party backed by a Thailand-based crypto tycoon to remind us of the importance of patriotism

🚨🗣️ Jurgen Klopp: "It's true that I treat each individual player differently. And sometimes a player would come up to me and say: 'You would NEVER speak the same way to me like you did to him!".

And I would respond: "No, I wouldn't. Because he grew up in Argentina in a house with no windows, and you grew up in Munich. And now you want me to treat YOU the same way I treat HIM? Growing up in places like Argentina or Senegal is different than growing up in Munich!"

Under this leader’s reign:
1: His close industrialist friend rose to be richest thru cronyism
2: He brought in electoral system changes to ensure all corporate funding only for his party & controlled the Election body
3. He helped his crony to take over the country’s leading media firm
4: Doubled capital expenditure share of spending to give contracts to favoured few
5: Packed the Courts with his judges
6: Invested in a huge social media troll army
7: Trump endorsed his election campaign & he did a rally for Trump
8: Triggered social divisions & ‘divided & conquered’
9: Ruled by instilling fear across all sections of society

He, Viktor Orban of Hungary, just lost power after 16 years of such rule
(any parallel with other leaders is neither coincidental nor unintentional)
