In February, the women collective of the EZLN said that Lopez Obrador’s government didn’t hold comprehensive community consultations for the ‚Maya Train‘, which is a large-scale infrastructure project is set to connect the whole Yucatan Peninsula for tourism, transportation, and economic purposes, and thus canceled the meeting to protest to the “new, bad government (that is) doing the capitalist‘s megaprojects.”

Israeli Report Cites a Thwarted 2010 Move on Iran
(04.11.2012)
Mr. Ashkenazi and Meir Dagan, who was the head of the Israeli intelligence service, the Mossad, at the time, would later say that this was an attempt at “stealing a war,” Ms. Dayan reported, because in their view such an order required a decision of the full cabinet, not the smaller group in the meeting, who were then known as the forum of seven.
Both Mr. Ashkenazi, who is now retired, and Mr. Dagan, who stepped down after the meeting, have become vocal critics of plans for a unilateral Israeli attack on Iran, and of Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Barak’s aggressive approach.
Ex-Israeli spy boss attacks Netanyahu and Barak over Iran
(28.04.2012)
Diskin‘s remarks followed a furore over comments made on Wednesday by Israel‘s serving military chief, Benny Gantz, which starkly contrasted with Netanyahu‘s rhetoric on Iran. Gantz said he did not believe the Iranian leadership was prepared to „go the extra mile“ to acquire nuclear weapons because it was „composed of very rational people“ who understood the consequences.

(26.04.2012)
The Israeli military chief described the Iranian government as “rational” in interviews published Wednesday and said he did not believe it would build a nuclear bomb, appearing to put some distance between himself and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
“I believe he would be making an enormous mistake, and I don’t think he will want to go the extra mile,” the chief of staff of the Israeli Defense Force, Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, told the left-leaning newspaper Haaretz, referring to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Watson-mania hits Labour conference
There is one politician, however, who is clearly enjoying conference and that’s Watson. Watson allies are delighted with how this whole affair has turned out. ‘They are the ones who are crumbling,’ says a Labour figure of the Corbynistas. ‘They can’t come at him again for a while’. Meanwhile, Labour members report of frenzied scenes when ever Watson enters a room. ‘He’s being high-fived and clapped. I’ve never witnessed him being so popular,’ says one bemused attendee. Watson received a standing ovation at the Progress rally – before and after he spoke.
Labour at breaking point: Jeremy Corbyn launches extraordinary tirade at reporters at party conference as he faces humiliation at the hands of Remainer activists in crunch Brexit votes – with even his union allies abandoning him
Amid intense behind-the-scenes arm-twisting today, public services union Unison broke ranks to declared it will oppose the leader‘s Brexit fudge.
But the Momentum pressure group appears to have handed Mr Corbyn a lifeline by signalling its activists will be in his camp, rather than with the Remainers.
In a shock split, its founder Jon Lansman made clear he did not agree with the decision, tweeting that ‚members should feel free to vote with their conscience‘.
Jeremy Corbyn relies on union block vote to crush members who want party to back Remain, writes Robert Peston
A source close to Corbyn tells me he expects the block vote of the unions to defeat that motion on Monday when put to conference, although another source told me the two giant unions, Unison and Unite, are no longer as one and Unison may peel away from Unite and abstain.
It is clear Labour is peddling a lie and is preparing to betray ‘the many’
Above the shoulder of every speaker at Labour Party conference reads a slogan: “For the many, not the few.” For decades, this has been Labour’s promise, but this week will show just how hollow their words ring.

Blast From the Past
Forty years ago, a U.S. satellite detected the telltale signs of a nuclear explosion. An analysis of the evidence today points to a clandestine nuclear test, a Carter administration cover-up, and only one country that was willing and able to carry it out: Israel.
U.S. Covered Up an Israeli Nuclear Test in 1979, Foreign Policy Says
Forty years after a mysterious explosion over the Atlantic that researchers say was an Israeli nuclear test, Foreign Policy has published a series of articles detailing the U.S. government’s alleged efforts to cover up the affair.
Watson says Labour is a Remain party, despite leader Corbyn refusing to back a side
Labour‘s Brexit stance appears ever more confused at the party conference in Brighton, despite the event being seen as an opportunity to unify divided MPs.
Several members of Labour‘s top team, including deputy leader Tom Watson – who survived an attempt to remove his role within the party – have spoken out in support of remaining in the EU.
Corbyn insists he is going nowhere in testy Marr interview: ‘It’s wishful thinking by some people’
Following a failed Corbynite attempt to oust Tom Watson as deputy leader, a successful attempt to give the party’s national executive committee say over any interim leader and the news that Corbyn’s top aide has quit, there’s talk that the Labour leader is on the way out. Appearing on the Andrew Marr show in Brighton this morning, Jeremy Corbyn tried his best to kibosh the idea.
Trump says open to hearing Rouhani‘s ‚Hormuz Peace Initiative‘ at UNGA
US President Donald Trump says he has no plans to meet his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani, but he is open to hearing his „Hormuz Peace Initiative“ at the UN General Assembly in New York.
„I‘m always open. I have no plans to meet with them, but I‘m always open,“ Trump said Sunday in Houston, when asked if he was open to hearing Rouhani‘s plan.
Trump Arrives in New York for UN General Assembly With Rohani Meeting Still in the Air
U.S. President Donald Trump arrived on Sunday night to New York City to attend this year’s United Nations General Assembly. Unlike in previous years, Trump will not meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, because Netanyahu is staying in Israel as a result of his failure to secure a majority in the Knesset in last week’s election.
More than 90 heads of state are descending on New York City. Here‘s what to watch for
Breaking with tradition, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has told country leaders not to come to the podium Monday without „concrete and transformative plans“ to halt rising global temperatures, achieve carbon neutrality and cut carbon emissions by 45 percent. VIPs with proposals have been told they have just three minutes to speak.
How concrete the results of the summit will actually be is unclear. The UN doesn‘t have a global climate army to roam the planet stopping pollution, so it‘s up to the 193 nations of the UN to take action.
Now It’s Gantz’s Turn
Odeh and his colleagues recommended Gantz as the lesser of two evils, recognizing that not recommending him was tantamount to recommending Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has incited against them mercilessly during all his years at the helm, and even more strongly during every election campaign. Gantz didn’t exactly earn their support; he received it as a gift from the corrupt and corrupting Netanyahu regime that had marked Israeli Arabs as an internal enemy, a fifth column and dangerous accomplices to terror.
