Years pass, and journalist Julian Assange languishes in a British jail. His crime? Truthful reporting of U.S. military atrocities in Iraq, reporting that sparked a lust for vengeance among U.S. politicos and military men. With Assange, the American empire would manage what imperialists couldn’t with whistleblower Edward Snowden, who slipped through their fingers by wisely fleeing to Russia – namely, torture him to death in prison.
For whatever reason, perhaps a mistaken belief in the rule of law, the power of a free press and the force of public opinion, Assange did not take refuge in Russia, China or Venezuela. This was a fatal mistake. Legal niceties simply fall like matchsticks in the wind when the empire takes offense. Its gaudy invocations of truth and justice are then exposed as mere words.

La ultraderecha se niega a aceptar a Castillo. Muchos temen que la tensión aumente con la recién llegada embajadora estadounidense a Lima
Pedro Castillo, del partido Perú Libre, ha comenzado a recibir felicitaciones de todo el mundo. No hay duda que es el ganador de la elección presidencial del 6 de junio. La Oficina Nacional de Procesos Electorales (ONPE) ha anunciado los resultados electorales con el 100% de los votos contabilizados: Castillo logró el 50,137% de los votos (8,83 millones de votos), y su oponente en la segunda vuelta, Keiko Fujimori de Fuerza Popular, logró el 49,893% (8,78 millones).
Sin embargo, la candidata de la derecha se ha negado a admitirlo. De hecho, ha contratado a los mejores abogados de Perú para recusar los resultados electorales. A las pocas horas de que el recuento se hiciera público, el equipo de Fujimori presentó impugnaciones a 134…

The biggest leftwing HDP Party representing 18 million Kurds already has most of its elected members and Mayors jailed, disbarred or murdered. The dictator Erdogan can close them down when he wants but prefers to orchestrate a fascist purge campaign against them. The genocidal campaign is the latest to boost Erdogan’s AKP party is currently shaken by corruption, mafia revelations and economic collapse

Armed attackers stormed the headquarters of pro-Kurdish Halkların Demokratik Partisi (HDP, People’s Democratic Party) this morning in the central district of Konak in Izmir, Turkey, and killed party member #DenizPoyraz…
The victim was working at the headquarters and was shot dead. The HDP has issued a statement stating that “the instigator of this brutal attack is the AKP (Islamist) – MHP (Turkish neo-fascist) government and the interior ministry which is constantly harassing our party and our militants.

I write here as a physician, immunologist and a verifiable Biden supporter in the 2020 presidential election — but now increasingly shocked by the administration’s mindless and totalitarian willingness to permit the creation of a new American underclass.
Let me explain with as much clarity as I can muster.
As of this writing in June 2021, millions of Americans have been naturally infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is likely that somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-30% of Americans have had either symptomatic or asymptomatic COVID-19 disease.
The vast majority of these infected U.S. citizens and residents are already…

The Foreign Relations Secretariat (SRE, its initials in Spanish) has denied a passport to several indigenous people who were designated as delegates of the Ejército Zapatista National Liberation Army in a commission that will travel to Europe.

In less than two months the two infant Caracaras progressed from bits of fluff about the size of table tennis balls to fully fledged birds weighing about a kilogram.
Their rate of growth was so rapid that their appearance seemed to change visibly from one day to the next.
Today, I’m posting a series of six images that I made of the youngsters — a sample of dozens of portraits that I made of them — covering a timeline of just over a month. Not to repeat a cliché, but in this case the images say more about the young Caracaras’ development than my commentary possibly could.

In Berlin, the intention of law enforcement officers to inspect a house converted by left-wing activists into “popular territory” sparked clashes.
Many years ago, left-wing activists turned the house at 94 Rizhskaya Street into ‘their own territory’.
The reason for the disturbances is believed to be a planned inspection of the building (Another attempted eviction)on Thursday, June 17, to verify compliance with fire safety regulations.
The Police previously prohibited meetings in the block (military occupation) and parking in some sections of the streets from Wednesday afternoon to Friday night.
One of their concerns had to do with the bill’s proposed funding for the National Institutes of Health, which has long considered lifting its moratorium on conducting chimeric experiments pending new guidelines from the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR).
In April 2021 researchers with the Salk Institute in California injected 25 induced pluripotent stem cells (IPS cells) from humans into macaque monkey embryos in a grotesque Frankenstein-like chimeric experiment resulting in the creation of human-monkey embryos.“
Currently the National Institutes of Health does not do this research and we need to keep it that way,” Sen. Lankford said, “Researchers who are attempting these horrific once-science-fiction experiments should focus on valuing the dignity of human life, not trying to genetically merge and manipulate humans and animals.”
