Leaked Files: Britain's Secret Propaganda Ops in Yemen. strategic-culture.org Leaked files reveal that British intel used local Yemeni NGOs and social media in a covert campaign to undermine the Sanaa government and influence the war-torn country's peace process. | By Kit KLARENBERG | Yemen's civil war, considered the world's gravest humanitarian crisis, appears to be nearing its end due to a China-brokered detente between Iran and Saudi Arabia, who support opposing sides in the bitter conflict. | Early signs suggest that the rapprochement between Tehran and Riyadh may not only end hostilities in Yemen, but across the wider region. | The US, Israel, and Britain have the most to lose from a…

From Europe to the Indo-Pacific, Italy at Arms. libya360.wordpress.com Manlio Dinucci The Europeans are training, under Pentagon orders, to wage war against Russia and China, two countries that do not threaten and have never threatened the European continent.

Calls continue to grow for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to step down or to be impeached, after ProPublica uncovered more damning information about his relationship with Republican megadonor Harlan Crow. According to the new report, Thomas and his family sold a house and two vacant lots in Savannah, Georgia, to Crow for around $130,000 but never disclosed the sale, which appears to be a violation of the 1978 Ethics in Government Act. In addition to being a major benefactor to Thomas and the GOP, Crow is also an avid collector of Nazi memorabilia, including a copy of Mein Kampf signed by Hitler, paintings…

(2023-04-18). The Case of Steven Donziger: Supreme Court Liberals Help Turn Judges Into Prosecutors. orinocotribune.com By Eve Ottenberg — Apr 14, 2023 | So the truth is out: the three so-called liberals on the supreme court are phonies. More precisely, they, like most of their conservative brethren, are corporate hacks. We learned this a couple of weeks ago, when the high court ruled against Steven Donziger, a climate-activist attorney, long persecuted and then literally prosecuted by Chevron. In a pro-corporate decision about as subtle as a heart attack, seven of the nine justices declined to hear Donziger's appeal of a criminal contempt decision involving his representation of Indigenous Ecuadorians against Chevron. Two fa…

Our guest Hannah Dreier, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter at The New York Times, has published a bombshell new investigation headlined "As Migrant Children Were Put to Work, U.S. Ignored Warnings." It reports that the Biden administration has repeatedly ignored or missed warnings about a surge of migrant children as young as 12 working in factories across the United States under grueling and often dangerous working conditions in serious violation of child labor laws. "People were punished for bringing this to the attention of their supervisors," says Dreier.
