Sinead O’Connor revealed a network of pedophiles and their protectors in 1992. She was a victim herself and to protest ripped up a photo of John Paul II that ended her career. We now have a circulating photo of John Paul II blessing Epstein. She was right all the time.
This is a masterstroke of diplomatic statecraft. It forces the empire into a binary choice.
If Washington accepts: The strait opens, oil flows, prices stabilize, and the region steps back from the abyss.
If Washington refuses: It shatters the "freedom of navigation" myth forever.
It will prove the blockade was never about global trade. It was about regime change. It was about economic strangulation. It was about maintaining imperial leverage while blaming Iran for the resulting chaos.
The choice now rests with Washington. The empire will likely choose strangulation, and the world will finally see its true face.
This is from an OHCHR report about Nusra throwing homosexual men from buildings in Idlib and Fateh al-Sham (post-AQ Nusra) executing men in Homs.
The prevailing attitude is that you're "fringe" to cite al-Sharaa's past, but there was never a reckoning. Same guys run Syria today.

Al Jazeeraがバングラデシュで暮らすロヒンギャ難民による「記憶のデジタル保存」の取り組みを紹介。
家族写真や身分証明書、土地の権利書などをデジタル化し、故郷ミャンマーから避難した後も自分たちの家族や故郷の記録を残そうとしている。
こうした記録はロヒンギャの歴史や故郷ミャンマーとのつながりを次世代に伝えるだけでなく、将来の帰還やICC・ICJでの司法手続きに関わる資料となる可能性もあると。 #Rohingya
"But how can anyone tell the truth about Fascism, unless he is willing to speak out against capitalism, which brings it forth?"

This is not Gaza. This is Nusaybin, a Kurdish city in North Kurdistan (Turkey), devastated by a Turkish military offensive in 2016.
Where is the outrage? Where were the demonstrations? Where was the international solidarity?
Today, supporting Gaza has become a global cause. But Kurdish suffering rarely receives anything close to the same attention.
This is the uncomfortable reality of how the world works: some become a global cause; others are left invisible.
Nordic Monitor documented the devastation, including the use of heavy weapons and the destruction of large numbers of homes and other structures.

This morning, we woke up to news of yet another attack on the rights of people seeking asylum.
The Albanese Government is considering changes that would make it even harder to seek protection in Australia.
We cannot let these changes happen quietly.
The Albanese Government is considering a 30-day limit for families to apply for asylum—an impossible deadline designed to lock refugees out of protection.
If this becomes law, it’s the end of the Refugee Convention in Australia.

The largest electoral scandal in Latin America is cresting over the continent.
