Julian Assange: Die außerordentliche Bilanz eines investigativen Journalisten

Sehr viele Arbeiter, Studenten und junge Menschen auf der ganzen Welt lehnen die Angriffe auf Assange ab. Aber die kapitalistischen Medien reagieren auf seine Verhaftung, indem sie ihren Feldzug gegen Assange noch verstärken und ihn lauthals verleumden.

Police State Ecuador Under Lenin Moreno

Correa expelled the Pentagon from his country, shutting down its Manta airbase, the region’s largest. Moreno invited what no country should tolerate on its territory to return.

Economist President Correa opposed IMF debt bondage. Moreno went the other way. Correa opposed privatization of oil, gas, water, electricity, and other government enterprises, what Moreno wants handed to corporate predators, most likely for self-enrichment.

Ägypten: Pferde ausgepeitscht und Kamele bis zum Zusammenbruch verprügelt. Helfen Sie jetzt!

Egypt votes in referendum that could keep Sisi in power until 2030

They would also grant the president control over appointing head judges and the public prosecutor from a pool of candidates. They would task the military with protecting “the constitution and democracy and the fundamental makeup of the country and its civil nature”.

Ein Führungstraum

So deutet sich eine Antwort auf die Frage an, was die Bundeswehr in der Sahara soll: die Stellvertreter Italiens und Frankreichs beim Krach ums Öl auseinanderhalten und Migranten in die Wüste jagen. Deutschland wird Friedensstifter. Ein Führungstraum.

Julian Assange put through ‚hell‘ at embassy, says former diplomat

Speaking to Sky News, Fidel Narvaez disputed claims that Assange had assaulted guards, didn‘t clean up after himself, didn‘t take care of his pet cat and even smeared human excrement on the walls of the embassy.

He said: „Julian had a respectful relationship with staff, diplomats and administrative staff. I don‘t recall a single incident when he disrespected someone until I left in July 2018.

US: Maine to Rename Columbus Day to Indigenous People‘s Day

The bill has been endorsed by the policy director for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Maine branch, Oami Amarasingham, who strongly believes „it‘s time to stop celebrating a man whose arrival brought death, disease, and slavery to hundreds of thousands, and start honoring the people who lived here long before.“

To leave the peoples with no choice other than right-wingers and / or the second US on the planet is part of the paneuropean dialectic tactics. @UKLabour, @TheGreenParty THEY are the traitors. So let THEM sneer, keep your values and make it better! @labourleave @GreenLeavesorg

When thousands of free Tommy protesters marched in London the liberals screamed this is the 1930‘s. The real threat is the remainiacs opening the door to the far right. Lord Adonis says don‘t vote Labour if you want Brexit, while it holds a firm majority support. Catastrophic.

Do we have to carry the British Left up the stairs, too? You have no party! So do one! That‘s ok in a democracy once in a century, you know!? Don‘t copy the utterly fatalist Left in Germany, blindly following their paneuropean ideologues. @PaulEmbery @BrendanChilton @LeftBrexit

The FR are notoriously unreliable. Farage is close to Le Pen in ideology and I think she could persuade him in forming an alliance at EU parliament level and forget Brexit. I don’t want to give Le Pen allies.

20.04.2019 - 12:26 [ Brexit Watch ‏/ Twitter ]

Bad news for Brexiteers: Germany‘s AfD and France‘s Le Pen back away from calls for EU exit. This might be a trick to get more MEPs but if its not, it means no other countries will follow Brexit. Mr @Nigel_Farage what say you? @LBC

Given the nature of Labour’s Euro-fanatic candidates list and the crucial juncture we have reached in the fight for the full implementation of the #Brexit referendum result and for one-time only I will be supporting @Nigel_Farage in next months elections. @TheBrexitPartly

„If you are a Brexiter I hope you won‘t vote for the Labour party.“ This guy has just been selected by Labour to fight as a candidate in the European elections. He is telling millions of working-class voters that Labour doesn‘t want their votes. Shameful.

Brexit: Nancy Pelosi steps up pressure on UK over Irish border

(18.4.2019)

So this was a message to some Brexiteers: if the Irish government is not happy, we will block a trade deal.

A US deal is perhaps the ultimate prize for the free-trading, ‚Global Britain‘ branch of the Brexit movement.

It would demonstrate that Brexit was worthwhile, that it allowed the UK to land big deals as an independent trading nation.

Lyra McKee, 29, was the first working journalist to be killed in the United Kingdom since 2001. In Derry. Irish border. Good Friday eve, Day after Nancy Pelosi visits and appeals for peace, calm, open borders.
