President Trump blocked from posting to Facebook, Instagram ‚indefinitely,‘ at least through end of term
After originally planning to block President Donald Trump from posting to his Facebook and Instagram account for 24 hours, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Thursday the blocks have been extended „indefinitely.“
„We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great,“ Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post Thursday.
Several White House staffers resign after Capitol riot
A number of White House staffers, including the first lady’s chief of staff, resigned in the wake of the violent pro-Trump storming of the Capitol. CBS News White House correspondent Ben Tracy joined “CBSN AM” with the latest.
In this apologist‘s binary worldview, opposing police murdering Trump supporters means supporting police murder of Black people. Fuck that. I oppose police murdering civilians of any kind. Consistency isn‘t hard.
Maybe it‘s because I‘m Australian but I think the bar for when it‘s okay for a cop to shoot someone, ANYONE, should actually be quite high. Sorry if that freaks you out.
MSM Already Using Capitol Hill Riot To Call For More Internet Censorship
We will likely see many more such articles in the coming days, arguing for increased regulation of internet communication to prevent future incidents like today.
We, anti-war activists, have been protesting at the US Capitol for decades, getting arrested over and over again for peaceful speech against violent war. If we had done ANYTHING like this, we’d be dead right now.
UK judge justifies CIA spying on Assange citing debunked CNN report based on… CIA spying
In one of the most brazenly political sections in her December 4 legal judgment, Westminster district judge Vanessa Baraitser cited a suspect report by CNN that accused Assange of conspiring with Russians to turn Ecuador’s embassy in London, where he was trapped in refuge for roughly seven years, “into a command post for election meddling.”
Baraitser twice pointed to this dubious CNN article in order to justify a 24/7 CIA spying operation that targeted not only Assange, but Ecuador’s embassy and its sovereign operations and internal affairs as well.
What the British judge failed to mention is that the CNN story she relied on was itself based entirely on untrustworthy intelligence reports drafted by a Spanish security firm called UC Global, which secretly worked with the CIA to spy on the WikiLeaks publisher and Ecuadorian embassy staff.
Britischer Ex-Botschafter: Der Krieg gegen Syrien geht weiter – mit US-Besatzung, Sanktionen, Propaganda Britischer Ex-Botschafter: Der Krieg gegen Syrien geht weiter – mit US-Besatzung, Sanktionen, Propaganda
Syrien und seine Verbündeten haben einen Regime Change verhindert, doch die USA und ihre Verbündeten quetschen die syrische Bevölkerung weiter aus – mittels harscher Sanktionen, die alle Bereiche des Lebens treffen, und durch die US-Militärbesatzung von Syriens Brotkammer im Nord-Osten. Peter Ford, früherer britischer Botschafter in Syrien und Co-Vorsitzender der „British Syrian Society“, analysiert den Stellvertreterkrieg in Syrien und den Propaganda-Feldzug, mit dem man ihn reinwaschen will. Die NachDenkSeiten veröffentlichen hier ein Interview, das Aaron Maté vom Medium „The Grayzone“ mit Peter Ford geführt hat. Übersetzung: Susanne Hofmann.
Regarding the US presidential election in 2020: We are done with democracy simulations
(7. Februar 2020)
After the Iowa fraud and Bernie Sanders‘ Al Gore style capitulation (no recount / „recalculation“ of an in broad daylight rigged caucus) and the deafening silence of each and every progressive lawmaker, even from the Squad, we do not support any candidate in this election and furthermore question its authenticity and legitimacy. From this day on, we will rarely post any news to this election-without-a-choice.
We would like to ask you: would the Trumpolini in the White House watch, just for even a few hours, the Republican Party doing this to his campaign? The progressives in the Democratic Party let this happen for days and kept their head down. And Millions of good-willing, hard working people on the ground were let down and deceived, again.
We’re not going along with this dirty game, which can be played again and again and again on people who tolerate it once without resistance.
Notably, we have calculated with this development years ago and described a possibility how Bernie Sanders could have become US president (article in German). Let that sink in, just for a minute or two.
Since decades, only (far) right-wingers, warmongers and egoists have real candidates and political parties.
So, „vote“ yourself.
