Football fans and Gregg's connoisseurs from around England are currently rioting following the murder of three schoolchildren by an asylum seeker (Axel Rudakubana) and subsequent non-response by the courts. The riots have only escellated following Starmer's absolutely braindead response & the response of local law enforcement.

UK’s poorest households now worse off than poorest households in Slovenia, analysis shows

At Scawthorpe Community Playgroup in Doncaster, a group of toddlers hurl themselves at a formidable collection of plastic toys.

The children have been born in the sixth largest economy on the planet.

Britain is a rich nation, but its wealth is unevenly shared and life on a low income is hard.

“By the time you’ve paid all your bills, you’ve got nothing left,” Gabbi Lumsden said.

Gabbi is sitting with Becky Hall.

The two of them have been friends since primary school.

Between them they have six children, five of whom tumble around the community hall while we chat.

Yeah Blair getting into Labor, kinda wrecked it. I think the neolibs think in terms of power-brokers, meaning they seek out positions in organizations and society at large in order to sell out. I bet you they think that is what everybody is doing. From the perspective of social democrats this was hostile infiltration.

I sometimes wonder if the left could have done something like this too. Except, you know, the other way around. You know in the 70s when neo-liberalism began to spread the rot. To be fair i don't really have a clue how to invert the power-broaker dynamic.

So even if shit got out later, Assange clearly acted in good faith.

>and you better believe the Vault7 leaks were damaging as fuck to the CIA.

Idk, a public release is far from the worst scenario. The CIA gets to see that too and realize what's compromised, and likely react fast enough to do a lot of damage controle. If somebody wanted to inflict more damage they would release the information that compromises operational security to the CIA's opponents but not the public.

>It's what prompted them to plot assassination and eventually forced Assange out of the embassy.

IMHO going after Assange was not rational, it confirmed the accuracy of the information, the rational thing to do was to deny that the released information was authentic. As a spy agency the best thing is secrecy, the second best thing is ambiguity.

So Assange went back to Europe to speak about his case to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe today. He's surprisingly sharp after years in solitary confinement. He mentioned journalists killed in Gaza and Ukraine several times. Aside from Gonzalo Lyra I'm not aware of any other journalists who have been targeted in Ukraine.

I think that might be a language bias. Lyra probably was one of the few that published in English. Most of the journalists there probably were Ukrainian and they published in their local language. But yeah the Zelensky regime went fascist, they banned most of the media, abandoned any pretense of democracy when they stopped doing elections, and they're basically snatching people off the streets, usually for military conscription but also political persecution. So they probably murdered a bunch of regime critical journalists too.

Former Spanish military man who spied on Assange for the CIA is investigated for falsifying evidence
A Madrid court opens a probe into why the owner of a security company tried to blame the former ambassador of Ecuador, now deceased, for ordering wiretaps against the WikiLeaks founder

A new legal battle has begun for David Morales, a former Spanish military man who spied on Julian Assange for the CIA during the latter’s time at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Madrid Court No. 43 is officially investigating Morales — who is the owner of UC Global S.L., the company that was in charge of security at the Ecuadorian embassy in London — for allegedly falsifying official documents and committing procedural fraud. Judge Fernando Fernández Olmedo has summoned Morales to testify as a suspect, according to court documents obtained by EL PAÍS.

The former marine allegedly forged official documents and evidence to defend himself before National Court Judge Santiago Pedraz, who is investigating him in a separate case for other crimes, including recording the WikiLeaks founder’s conversations with his lawyers inside the diplomatic mission in violation of attorney-client privilege. The spying took place as the Australian’s legal team was designing its defense strategy against the U.S. extradition request.

The opening of new proceedings at a Madrid courthouse comes after Judge Pedraz recused himself and asked the Madrid courts to investigate Morales for alleged forgery of official documents and procedural fraud. Court No. 43 has accepted Pedraz’s recusal and opened proceedings against Morales.

Since his arrest in September 2019, Morales has denied any involvement in the wiretaps against Assange, but months later, he reversed his statements and told Judge José de la Mata (the first judge to oversee the case at the National Court) that it was the former Ecuadorian ambassador to London, Carlos Abad, who had ordered him to record the conversations of the Australian cyberactivist. This confession came a few weeks after the diplomat’s death.

Microphones
To bolster his testimony, the former military officer presented as evidence, among others, an alleged email from former ambassador Abad, dated January 27, 2018, in which he asked Morales to place a microphone in the Embassy meeting room. Morales asserted that the device was only placed for testing and then removed. This vePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Apparently Romania and the US knew, at the time they accused Russia & China of interference, that the social media campaign for Călin Georgescu which preceded his electoral victory was actually funded primarily by one of the major established Romanian parties. Ryan Grim compares it to all the times the DNC has funded far-right Republicans, ostensibly to have an easier candidate to beat, although some would say that if that was, in fact, the DNC's goal then their results have been very questionable. In Romania's case, the gov't just overturned the election entirely and falsely blamed Russia.

Manila: Protesters rallied against American presence in the Philippines on Tuesday as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Manila to reinforce support against Chinese influence in the region.

The Philippines is Washington’s key security partner in Asia under a decades-long alliance, which allows the US to rotate troops into the Philippines for extended stays and build and operate facilities on Philippine military bases.

In the past two years, the partnership has expanded under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who in February last year permitted American troops to increase their footprint in the country.

China claims the disputed area almost in entirety and its military activity in the territory has been increasing, regularly encroaching on the Philippine part of the waters, the West Philippine Sea.

“These waterways are critical to the Philippines, to its security, to its economy, but they’re also critical to the interests of the region, the United States and the world,” Blinken said at a joint press conference with his Philippine counterpart Enrique Manalo.

“That’s why we stand with the Philippines and stand by our ironclad defense commitments, including under the mutual defense treaty.”

The 1951 agreement obliges the US to defend its ally in the case of external attack.

Philippine vessels have been regularly attacked by Chinese ships in the parts of the South China Sea that are internationally recognized as belonging to the Philippines.

Austin said he "met with some American service members deployed to US Task Force Ayungin" and that he "thanked them for their hard work on behalf of the American people and our alliances and partnerships in this region".

Duterte arrested.

Philippines ex-leader Duterte arrested on ICC warrant over drug killings

Philippine police have arrested former president Rodrigo Duterte after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant accusing him of crimes against humanity over his deadly "war on drugs".

The 79-year-old was taken into police custody shortly after his arrival at Manila airport from Hong Kong on Tuesday.

Latest reports from local media say he is on board a private jet on the airport tarmac. Earlier, his daughter said he was being "forcibly" sent to the Hague in the Netherlands, where the ICC sits.

A press conference from the presidential palace is expected soon.

Duterte has offered no apologies for his brutal anti-drugs crackdown, which saw thousands of people killed when he was president of the South East Asian nation from 2016 to 2022, and mayor of Davao city before that.

Upon his arrest on Tuesday, he questioned the basis for the warrant, asking: "What crime [have] I committed?" in a video posted online by his daughter Veronica Duterte.

Fascism historically has lead to greater ecological exploitation, so has marxism leninism for that matter. I don't really think there's a way forward for any 20th century understanding of ideology. Marx himself was an ecologist in the making which is something that still needs to be incorporated into modern marxism. (Marx in the Anthropocene, Kohei Saito)

All of which is to say, I don't fascism is going to get you anywhere in regards to protecting the ecosystem. Strasserism itself is still productivist, it would exploit the forests all the same.

>Fascism historically has lead to greater ecological exploitation, so has marxism leninism for that matter.
This is somewhat disingenuous, you can never bring socialism into ideological proximity of fascism. Fascism caused ecological damage because they caused massive wars. ML states increased ecological exploitation to expand the productive forces. What the fascists did was completely pointless destruction, while the ML states embarked on a calculated trajectory of technological advances that would eventually raise the technical level to the point where the industrial base can be used to regenerate damage done to the biosphere.

There is fascist ecological thinking and it's main purpose is an ideological instrument to deny workers any kind of consumption of nice things.

Productivism is a necessary element of any kind of viable politics, anything else is a rehash of pseudo feudal eternal steady state politics that died with agrarianism, and is now a political dead end. Consider that the bourgoisie doesn't want workers to lay claim on the productive forces, therefore it is somewhat likely that they would push ideological subversion in the form of anti-industrial ecologism.

That is not to say that we do not have to worry about the biosphere of the planet, after-all it is the life-support system that keeps us alive. And climate change is probably worse than stated by the "officialdom". But large scale industrial technology is bound to be a useful power that can be used to fix problems too.

The conclusion is:
Industrial power in the hands of workers = good
industrial power in the hands of the bourgoisie = potentially hazardous

The primary factor are class interests. Super wealthy capitalists do not want to do anything to fix or mitigate damage done to the biosphere because they believe that their enormous wealth insulates them from the consequences (which might prove to be a false believe). While workers are definitely not insulated, and hence have a strong interests to preserve the biosphere. Many workers reject eco-austerity because they correctly perceive it as a false pretext to lower their living standards without actually doing much to fix the biosphere.
