On Friday, Donald Trump was at it again. He posted on Truth Social a photoshopped picture of his face next to those of the four earlier presidents carved in stone on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. At least he was grinning, not displaying his usual snarl or sneer with his little fist raised defiantly in the air showing what a tough guy he is! That stern presidential portrait will be on display on the first page of the new United States passports which will be issued by the Washington DC passport office in June to commemorate both the Sesquicentennial of the United States and the 80th birthday of our most glorious leader. The picture of DJT will have a red white and blue background to confirm is patriotic content.
BANGKOK, Thailand -- While Asia suffers from the Strait of Hormuz blockade, Bangkok is offering Beijing, Singapore and others a planned multi-billion dollar "Land Bridge" across Thailand's thin peninsula, to link shipping between the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand instead of south through the equatorial Strait of Malacca.
China, the U.S. and other countries could use the 56-mile-long (90 km) Land Bridge for commercial, military and other shipping, potentially reducing fuel costs and time on routes to and from the Persian Gulf and South China Sea.
Beijing's use of the proposed shorter shipping route could also help China if the U.S. blockades the Strait of Malacca during a regionwide conflict over Taiwan or other issues.
Thailand's newly reelected "Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has pointed to growing uncertainty around key maritime chokepoints, including the Strait of Hormuz, as justification for moving the project forward," the Bangkok Post said in a Wednesday (April 29) editorial.
"The government is also preparing a series of international roadshows to attract foreign investment," the paper said.
Zayd Ayers Dohrn’s parents are Weather People Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers.
Zayd spent life as a child evading the FBI because of his parent’s involvement in the Weathermen during the 1970’s.
The Weather Men or Weather Underground were amongst the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) most wanted during FBI’s COINTELPRO program. COINTELPRO stands for Counterintelligence Program.
COINTELPRO used misinformation, divide and conquer, lies, intimidation, drugs and assassination to eliminate any influential black leader so they wouldn’t influence black people, white youth, and culture into opposing white supremacy, patriarchy and the Vietnam War.
The Weather People were white youth who opposed white supremacy, and Vietnam War under the influence of Malcolm X. Weather People were white people who worked with the Black Panthers for racial and economic equality for all people.
The first and only time the siege on Gaza was successfully broken was when two small wooden boats—the Free Gaza and the Liberty—sailed from Cyprus to Gaza carrying 44 international solidarity activists and medical supplies. At the time, Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesperson Aviv Shiron said the government wanted to avoid a public relations disaster, according to a report by Red Flag.
Three days ago, the Israeli navy blocked boats traveling with the Global Sumud Flotilla, using drones, communications‑jamming technology, and armed raiding parties to halt the humanitarian fleet in the middle of the Mediterranean as it headed toward Gaza. According to the organization’s Flotilla Tracker map and Israeli media, 22 boats have been intercepted by the Israeli military, while 36 are still sailing toward Gaza.
For nearly 20 years, Israel has enforced a land, air, and sea blockade of the Gaza Strip after Hamas won the Palestinian election in 2007. Since then, most supplies have been prevented from entering the territory, contributing to widespread starvation.
The court of supreme rogues has cancelled the civil rights movement in the Confederacy v. Black Folks case, and uncancelled cancer, in the Glyphosate v Humans cases. James Coomey is indicted for beachcombing by the numbers, and college professors remember Joe McCarthy for some reason. Also, why do people who want cheap eggs but get toxic meat instead not jump ship?
“Había tres poderes en el parlamento; señalando que en la tribuna de prensa era donde se sentaba el cuarto poder, de lejos, más importante que todos ellos”: Edmund Burke
Nuestra contribución reciente titulada Ganancia de 50 mil millones: Sombras de la Guerra Epstein versus la lucha para transparencia constitucional desglosó como las redes de humo y los documentos censurados escuden a los poderosos de las consecuencias de sus acciones. Ese mismo escudo se esgrima hoy para encubrir los más inimaginables crímenes atroces perpetrados contra las víctimas más vulnerables.
Mientras luchamos para promulgar la iniciativa Protección de los Derechos Constitucionales de los Residentes de Ohio, es imprescindible reconocer que la “inmunidad” que combatimos no es ningún tecnicismo legaloide para una corte local, sino se trata de una doctrina global que legitima la violencia amparada por el Estado.
Las pruebas contundentes de atrocidades
Es seductor tomar una postura en la cual la doctrina militar del estado de Israel se
sostiene en la guerra perpetua, sin embargo la realidad siempre es más compleja
que una conjetura.
Por su parte, Ministro Primero Benjamín Netanyahu no contradiría semejante
argumento, y su escalado impulso bélico frenético es indicativo de ello, ya que su
meta declarada para un Gran Israel obliga a esa clase de militarismo permanente
con expansión implacable y destrucción por toda la región.
No obstante, el país no puede soportar por siempre una lucha abierta con
múltiples frentes. Lucen de llevar contiendas sobre “siete frentes”, pero en
términos militares muchos de ellos son más imaginarios que campos de batalla
efectivos.
Las verdaderas guerras —desde el genocidio en Gaza hasta sus ofensivas
regionales no provocadas— son entera y exclusivamente obras israelíes.
De todas formas ese hecho no debería cegarnos a la inquietante realidad de como
los tambores de la guerra contra Irán y la escalada contra Líbano consolidaron un
consenso casi absoluto entre los israelíes judíos a favor del Ministro Primero. Una
As news organizations increasingly block the Wayback Machine, the world’s premier independent third party archive of the Internet, tech justice group Fight for the Future launches a petition demanding news publishers commit to getting the work of today’s journalists preserved.
“2026 is the first World Press Freedom Day in 30 years that journalists’ work at major media outlets including New York Times, The Atlantic, and USA Today is not being preserved by the independent, nonprofit Internet Archive. We are calling on you and on all news outlets to publicly commit to working with the Internet Archive to keep the news in the Wayback Machine,” reads a petition that tech justice group Fight for the Future has launched.
The public petition addressed to leadership at major news outlets comes on the heels of a letter that journalists delivered to the Internet Archive, thanking them for their work as an essential resource in journalism. When signing, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow called the Internet Archive "a national treasure.” Adding “I use it daily, and have for many, many years. I cannot imagine doing the work I do without it.”
