Arbuthnot Out as Assange’s Judge, Says WikiLeaks Lawyer Jen Robinson

Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom, a former defence minister, is a paid chair of the advisory board of military corporation Thales Group, and was until earlier this year an adviser to arms company Babcock International. Both companies have major contracts with the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD).
The revelations highlight concerns about conflicts of interest. Lady Arbuthnot began presiding over Assange’s legal case in 2017 and ruled this June that a full hearing would begin next February to consider the request for extradition from the UK made by the Trump administration.

Ayanna Pressley Introduces Sweeping Criminal Justice Reform Resolution
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass), unveiled a sweeping criminal justice reform resolution on Thursday that could begin dismantling a racist system that disproportionately targets, incarcerates, and kills members of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities.
The United States, a nation addicted to punishment and cages, is the number one jailer in the world, something that Pressley is seeking to change. The first words of her resolution—”Recognizing that the United States has a moral obligation to meet its foundational promise of guaranteed justice for all”—echo Dr. Martin Luther King’s call out of the same hypocrisy.
C.I.A.-Affäre: Der Offenbarungseid von Dianne Feinstein – Video, Zusammenfassung, Einschätzung
(12. März 2014)
Die Rede von Senatorin Dianne Feinstein vor dem Senat der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika über die Sabotage der verfassungsmäßigen Kontrolle des Parlaments über die Central Intelligence Agency durch die Central Intelligence Agency ist vielleicht das Erbärmlichste, was ich in meinem Leben je gesehen und gehört habe. Es ist nicht nur der Offenbarungseid eines Ausnahmezustands, eines über sich selbst und die Welt verhängten Kriegsrechts des mächtigsten Imperiums auf dem Planeten, in seinem Krieg „on terror“, weltweit geführt mit seinen „Einflussgebieten“, „Alliierten“, Ablegern, schlechten Kopien und Kolonien. Es ist der Offenbarungseid seiner bis auf die Knochen korrupten, feigen, abgetakelten, unfähigen Zuträger, Mitwisser, Kollaborateure und Funktionäre.
Was Senatorin Feinstein hier zeigt, was sie da zeigt, ist so unbeschreiblich, das sogar mir die Worte fehlen um es zu beschreiben. Ich will hier den Inhalt ihres Statements nur deshalb zusammenfassen, weil ich davon ausgehe dass die ganzen Feinsteins der deutschsprachigen Presse dies alles weder hören, lesen, geschweige denn darüber berichten wollen, genauso wie deren KundInnen.
THE REPORT Trailer German Deutsch (2019)
Kinostart: 7 Nov 2019 | Filminfos
In den USA greift die CIA nach den Anschlägen vom 11. September auf extreme Verhörtechniken zurück – als notwendig gerechtferttigt, sind sie in Wahrheit brutal, unmoralisch und ineffizient. Die CIA überschreitet dabei klar die Grenze zur Folter, um den Drahtziehern so um jeden Preis auf die Schliche zu kommen und weitere Anschläge zu verhindern, verliert dadurch jedoch ethische Fragen und fundamentale Grundsätze des Rechtsstaates vollkommen aus den Augen. Im Rahmen der Ermittlungen von Daniel Jones (Adam Driver) und Senatorin Dianne Feinstein (Annette Benning) sollen diese verurteilenswürdigen Methoden für die Bevölkerung ans Licht kommen, um sie so stoppen zu können. Doch noch bevor Jones und Feinstein irgendetwas von ihren Ergebnissen bekanntmachen können, legen die CIA und das Weiße Haus alles daran, ihre Arbeit zu erschweren und eine Veröffentlichung mit allen erdenklichen Mitteln zu verhindern.
‘The Report’ and the Untold Story of a Senate-C.I.A. Conflict
Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Democratic committee chairwoman, was wavering about making the report public, mulling an Obama administration suggestion that the release be postponed indefinitely. It seemed possible that the report, the product of more than six years of painstaking research, might never reach the American public.
I want to be the party of the New Deal again. The party of the Civil Rights Act, the one that electrified this nation and fights for all people. For that, many would call us radical. But we aren’t “pushing the party left,” we are bringing the party home.
“It’s time that we become the party of FDR again. It’s time for us to become the party of the Civil Rights Act again. It’s time for us to become the party that fights for queer liberation again, the anti-war party, a party that establishes peace and prosperity.” -@AOC
Too Far Left? Some Candidates Don’t Buy the Argument
Ms. Warren declined to address Mr. Obama’s implicit criticism, and instead praised the former president’s efforts on health care.
“I so admire what President Obama did. He is the one who led the way on health care and got health care coverage for tens of millions of Americans when nobody thought that was possible,” she said, speaking to reporters after a campaign event in Waverly, Iowa.
The meeting between President Rivlin and chair of Kachol Lavan at Beit HaNasi has ended. Gantz updated the president on the coalition negotiations and discussed the president‘s outline in an attempt to prevent further elections. The two agreed to remain in touch as necessary.

White House backs Stephen Miller amid white nationalist allegations
“I work with Stephen. I know Stephen. He loves this country and hates bigotry in all forms – and it deeply concerns me as to why so many on the left consistently attack Jewish members of this Administration,” deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley said in a statement.
Stephen Miller Must Go
Leaked emails show Stephen Miller peddling white nationalist conspiracy theories, ranting about “white genocide” and obsessing over the loss of Confederate monuments in the wake of Dylann Roof’s South Carolina terror attack. Now he’s in the White House directing mass human rights abuses against immigrants at the border, from family separations to child detentions.
We cannot allow white nationalists in the White House. Sign below to call for Stephen Miller’s immediate resignation.
“If we have a white nationalist at the helm of US immigration policy, policy will become increasingly more fascistic,” @AOC tells @chrislhayes. “So long as Stephen Miller is in charge… hundreds of thousands of people‘s lives are going to be in danger.“
Germany and Brazil renew nuclear cooperation agreement; third nuclear plant to be built by 2026
Moreover, added Kotting-Uhl, with the election of far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil now has a leader with a long-term plan to develop nuclear weapons. “He wants to complete the fuel cycle, that means the risk of Brazil producing weapons-grade material is very high,” she said.
