Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

Who Will Guard Us Against the Guardian?s ?Fact Checks?? Mon Jul 22, 2024 15:34 | David Craig
The Guardian has published a 'fact check' of Donald Trump's claims about inflation and immigration. Just one problem, says David Craig: the 'fact check' gets its facts wrong. Who will guard us against the Guardian?

The Office of Budget Intractability Mon Jul 22, 2024 11:00 | Andrew Colllingwood
Labour has brought forward a Bill giving the Office of Budget Responsibility a "fiscal lock" over future economic policy. This is one more step in the erosion of parliamentary democracy, says Andrew Collingwood.

No, the CrowdStrike Debacle is Not a Warning of What Could Happen if we Introduce CBDCs Mon Jul 22, 2024 09:00 | Anonymous IT Reporter
The CrowdStrike debacle was not a harbinger of things to come if we introduce CBDCs, argues the Daily Sceptic's IT expert. A U.K. CBDC would be designated as Critical National Infrastructure and hence not be vulnerable.

This is a link to a very important article on the Al Jazeera revelations; and the role of nationalism in the oppression of the Palestinian people.
The principles identified in this article of course have equal validity for Ireland.
The events in Palestine and throughout the Middle East have provided fresh confirmation of the theory of permanent revolution developed by Leon Trotsky.
Really, how so? Why is his model of revolution in oppressed/colonised countries necessarily the correct one? Because the author says so?
And as for nationalism "oppressing" the Palestinians, they have every right to demand freedom from Israeli occupation and subjugation.
the point is that Israeli and European/American corporate nationalisms are the traditional imperial divide n conquer method, and that the colonial powers are adept at manipulating nationalist sentiment and its quasi religious beliefs to their own ends.
Nationalism has its place as a focus for organising counter-analysis and resistance to the dictating centralised imperial powers, but taken too far plays into the designs of these same powers. Israel has decoyed the Palestinian people with ever-retreating hoops to jump through, even as the outside players have corrupted emergent leaders, or supported alternative sectarian forces if they cannot induce compliance.
The net result is the erosion through settlements of virtually ALL Palestinian lands as the stalling carrot hypnotised the trust of the propagandised populations.
Many see the only way out now as the breaking of the Zionist brainwash before it degenerates any further, and the formation of a single multi-ethnic state based on human rights rather than the recidivistic failures of pseudo-racial apartheid statelets.
The oppressing entity is increasingly globalised, totallitarian and borderless(stretching as it now does into the militarisation of space).
Any solution will ultimately have to be globalised, pluralistic under internationalised legal parameters, and borderless
Optimism not included.
is reporting that right wing hackers are blocking Facebook profiles and content from leftist groups, including Anarchists against the Wall.
Escalation in the war on info. Goebbels would be proud of his children.
If you dig up a 3 thousand year graveyard in Israel you will find the direct ancestors of Palestinians.
You will dig out a relative of Yassar Arafat..
The Palestinians always remained in their homeland.
Even when the god of the Israelites called it "The Land of Cannan" and told them to invade Palestine three thousand or so ago the Palestinians called it "home" even then.
The Palestinians owned Israel even before the Bible was written.
..I knew him well.
He was a man of infinite chutzpah.
The Palestinians always remained in their homeland?
So how come I worked with one in Rotterdamm, twenty years back?
Shalom. The answer aint COUNTER-racism.
