Sex for Judgeship: Evidence Against Israel’s Top Lawyer Obtained Through Hacked Phone
(18.01.2019)
Police suspect Nave had sexual relations with the judge in exchange for her promotion as well as with the wife of another judge in exchange for his advancement.
Nave has been a dominant and influential figure on Israel’s legal scene since 2015, when he ousted the president of the Bar Association and took leadership of the professional organization that represents the country’s 59,000 attorneys.
A Probe That Exposes the Corruption Behind Israel‘s Judicial Appointments
(today)
Nave, who had an alliance with former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, who was friends with Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit, who would routinely meet with senior politicians and dreamed of becoming a cabinet minister himself someday exploited his position of power to the hilt. Like a vote contractor for a ruling party, he took advantage of his role to gain sexual favors, connections and power. And yet, if there weren’t any people willing to dance to his corrupt tune, the public may have been spared such degradation.
PETER HITCHENS reveals fresh evidence that UN watchdog suppressed report casting doubt on Assad gas attack
he global chemical weapons watchdog is facing renewed questions after fresh details emerged about how it suppressed the findings of its own inspectors who raised serious doubts about an alleged poison gas attack in Syria.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that a senior official at the Organisation for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) demanded the ‘removal of all traces’ of a document which undermined claims that gas cylinders had been dropped from the air – a key element of the ‘evidence’ that the Syrian regime was responsible.
Once again, Peter Hitchens is the one journalist to break ranks within mainstream media and report on further damning leaks revealing political capture of chemical weapons watchdog OPCW.
Gewerkschaft marginalisierter Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter in Argentinien gegründet
Die Utep versteht sich als Gewerkschaft neuen Typs, in der sich jene Sektoren der arbeitenden Klasse zusammenfinden, denen im gegenwärtigen neoliberalen Kapitalismus der Zugang zum regulären Arbeitsmarkt verwehrt bleibt. Von popularer Ökonomie spricht man, wenn Ausgeschlossene ihre eigenen Produktions-, Arbeits- und Vertriebssysteme schaffen, die unabhängig von der formalen Ökonomie funktionieren.
Argentiniens Präsident kritisiert doppelte Standards bei Menschenrechten
Die Reaktion der chilenischen Regierung ließ nicht lange auf sich warten, Außenminister Teodoro Ribera zeigte sich „überrascht von den Kommentaren“ und wande sich an seinen argentinischen Amtskollegen Felipe Solá, um ihn an das Prinzip der nationalen Souveränität und der Nichteinmischung in innere Angelegenheiten anderer Staaten zu erinnern. Erstaunliche Worte einer Regierung, die diesem Gebot bislang nicht besondere Achtung geschenkt hatte. So hatte Piñera erst im Oktober auf dem Kurznachrichtendienst Twitter die Proteste in Ecuador kritisiert und seine Unterstützung für die Regierung von Präsident Lenin Moreno bekundet.
This appears to be Twitter‘s explanation. Make of it what you will.
Twitter is proactively censoring news about the OPCW scandal and central involvement in it of French diplomat.
Twitter has also censored some of our tweets at @TheGrayzoneNews. These tweets are factual reporting; they don‘t violate any rules. Here is an example of Twitter hiding a tweet with a link to our journalistic interview with Bolivia‘s leftist leader:
This is bizarre, I have never seen anything like it before… Italian reporter @SMaurizi had a tweet on OPCW and Douma arbitrarily blocked by Twitter. It contained important info and did not violate any rules.
We‘re building the unprecedented grassroots power that we need to not only defeat Donald Trump, but to take back our democracy from the corporate elite. Join us live in New Hampshire:

Why Everything Is Fucked
The most powerful early humans were the cleverest humans, the ones who understood how to use this new capacity for language and abstract thought to their own advantage. They realized that by simply saying something is true in a sufficiently confident way, they could persuade the less clever humans to treat it as true.
Those clever humans used this newfound ability to place themselves in charge, and to make a bunch of rules to be passed down from generation to generation proclaiming that the less powerful humans must submit to the more powerful humans. Over the generations these rules became more and more numerous and complex, weaving in moralism, codes of filial piety, and insane, power-serving religions glorifying meekness, obedience and poverty.

The triumvirate: Avigdor Liberman, Avichai Mandelblit & Aviv Kochavi
For a decade, Netanyahu dominated Israel like few others since founding prime minister David Ben-Gurion, leaving a huge imprint on every sphere: diplomatic, economic, military.

Contrast this, Greenblatt wrote, to Sanders, who said that “right now, Israel is under the leadership of Netanyahu… who in my view, is a racist.”
