1/X Re that #NYTimes semi-whitewash (grey-wash?) for fascist symbols all over Ukraine's military, my old, old warnings (15 Feb 2022); and yes, for the squeamish "I-save-myself-for-CNN" types among you, published on DREAD RT...

At Mar-a-Lago, Trump and his aides were caught off guard by the timing, my colleague Maggie Haberman reports. They thought any such
action was still weeks away and might not occur. Trump has consistently denied all wrongdoing.
The development will shake up the 2024 presidential race, in which Trump is a candidate: It’s uncertain if an indictment would rally Republican voters to Trump’s side — or erode his

2. quello che ha affermato @marcotravaglio sul fatto che gli Stati Uniti non riconoscono #CortePenaleInternazionale perché temono di finirci loro è assolutamente corretto.E lo dimostrano 20 anni di azioni USA, documentate rigorosamente
3. Se USA avessero aderito #CortePenaleInternazionale,soldati USA che hanno commesso crimini di guerra in Afgh/Iraq, sarebbero incriminabili facilmente. Invece i criminali di paesi che NON hanno aderito,che sia USA o Russia,possono essere incriminati SOLO in situazioni limitate

Amsterdam’s tourist crackdown
The next time a British man between 18 and 35 searches for something like “pub crawl Amsterdam,” he may see an ad that bluntly tells him to “stay away.” The Dutch capital is trying to deter young British men from “coming to Amsterdam for
a messy night.” Ads warn that they could incur fines, criminal records or permanent damage to their health.
The campaign is part of a broader crackdown on rowdy tourists. Last month, Amsterdam introduced rules that banned smoking marijuana on the streets of the red-light
The campaign is part of a broader crackdown on rowdy tourists. Last month, Amsterdam introduced rules that banned smoking marijuana on the streets of the red-light
district and that required businesses to close by 3 a.m., three hours earlier than previously allowed. Cafes and restaurants must also close earlier, by 2 a.m.
But the Dutch capital is also fighting its own reputation: The city is known for marijuana and legal prostitution.

1. voglio rispondere a questo tweet di @il_cappellini sulla #CortePenaleInternazionale, non perché attacca @marcotravaglio: Travaglio si difende da solo, ma perché i lettori hanno il diritto di leggere affermazioni vere sulla #CortePenaleInternazionale e questa non lo è
2. NON conosco la posizione dell'#Ucraina sulla #CortePenaleInternazionale,quindi non ne parlo. Ma conosco benissimo la questione #StatiUniti-#CortePenaleInternazionale, perché ci ho scritto articoli e capitoli di libri

In Avdiivka, a town in eastern Ukraine where just a few hundred people remain, the shelling barely stops. Residents hide in basements, as the thud of Russian artillery reverberates every minute or two. The assault is part of Russia’s
effort to capture the area around Bakhmut.

Russian efforts to capture Avdiivka began over a year ago, but the attempt to take the areas near Donetsk, the Russian-held regional capital, has recently intensified. The months-long advance has been slow — Russia has yet to capture

Ms. Bhasin has been a vocal critic of the Indian establishment for a while. She’s one of the ‘Brown Sepoys’ to set global anti-India discourse on #Kashmir . But she has her reasons: reasons that make her qualify as a ‘Brown Sepoy’.

Those of you still laboring under the illusion that Western democracies and their media are "free" need to wake up. Western states decide what can and cannot be talked about - not through forced censorship, but through ownership. (1/n) #ohiotrainderailment #OhioChernobyl A 🧵
The way it works is that politicians are elected via expensive election campaigns requiring huge corporate sponsorship. So they are beholden to big corporates for their survival. The same big corporates own the press. (2/n)
So the big corporates tell politicians (whom they own) what to do and they then tell the press (which they own) to run stories that support the things that the politicians do at their bidding. The system works smoothly and nobody is the wiser. (3/n)
Three days ago, I outlined the pre-programed steps that would lead to the delivery of F-16s to Ukraine. Step 1: Media report of "discussions"; Step 2: Government denial of such discussions and intentions; Step 3: Announcement that F-16s will be sent. #UkraineWar 1/
It has not taken long for my outline to be substantiated. Today, the #NYTimes writes: "If the usual script plays out, the Biden administration’s reluctance to provide the planes could be temporary, officials say." 2/
This means, the decision to send the fighters has been all but made. Nothing remains but the working out of the political details within NATO and the launching of the media propaganda campaign of lies to sell the decision to a skeptical public. 3/
This @NYT article, claiming without a shred of evidence that Russia is directing terrorist attacks in Western Europe, is aimed at conditioning public opinion for the direct deployment of US-NATO troops, air power and other military resources in the war. #UkraineRussiaWar 1/
The #NYTimes is reprising the role it played prior to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, when it promoted the "weapons of mass destruction" lie and related Bush administration fabrications. NYT correspondent Judith Miller concocted claims about Iraq's plans for nuclear war. 2/
The Biden administration, having staked the prestige of US-led NATO on the defeat of Russia, now fears a collapse of Ukrainian forces, which have suffered massive casualties. Therefore, a new "Russian terrorism" narrative is being developed to justify a massive escalation. 3/3

That a federal jury in Manhattan needed only 90 minutes to rule in actor #KevinSpacey's favor exposes the non-existence of credible evidence supporting accuser Anthony Rapp's claim that he was sexually assaulted by Spacey 36 years ago. 1/
But Rapp's claims, first made in 2017 in the early days of the rapidly escalating #MeToo witch-hunt, were sufficient to destroy the career of one of the greatest contemporary American actors. The media, led by the #NYTimes, treated untested accusations as proof of guilt. 2/
Spacey's career was brought to an immediate end. He was removed from "House of Cards" and fired from his starring role in "All the Money in the World." The outcome of the trial has vindicated the principled stand taken by the WSWS against the witch-hunt. 3/
Is there any limit to the wretchedness of the #NYTimes? Each day brings new evidence that no such limit exists. The latest specimen is David Brooks' column, "The Triumph of the Ukrainian Idea." It glorifies rightwing Ukrainian nationalism as the liberal ideal. 1/

The sudden dismissal by #Zelensky of the head of #Ukraine's Security Services and the chief prosecutor amid the opening of treason investigations into 651 state officials clearly indicates a major crisis within the regime. 1/ #UkraineRussiaConflict
Contrary to claims that Ukraine is absolutely united in the continuation of the war, the massive purge - amid allegations of pro-Russian treason at the highest levels of the state - indicates that there is substantial opposition to the war, even within Zelensky's inner circle. 2/
The #NYTimes writes: "While Ukraine is largely united in its opposition to Russia’s invasion, its deep cultural and historical ties with Russia have translated, in parts of the country, to pockets of support for Moscow." 3/
1. vi voglio spiegare perché negli USA Julian #Assange NON ha alcuna chance di avere un "fair trial", come si dice in inglese: un giusto processo. Se ve lo spiego in termini elementari, senza complesse argomentazioni tecniche, anche un bambino può capirlo

In the second-round runoff of France’s election, Emmanuel Macron, the president, triumphed over Marine Le Pen, his far-right challenger, with a lead of about 17 percent points. In a solemn address, Macron said it was a victory for
“a more independent France and a stronger Europe.”
During the campaign, Le Pen was hostile to NATO, the U.S. and the E.U., as well as to the fundamental values that hold that no French citizens should be discriminated against because they are Muslim.

Within weeks of the US invasion of Iraq in March 2003, it became clear that the claim that Saddam Hussein's had developed weapons of mass destruction -- the critical justification of the war -- was a lie that had been concocted by the Bush administration. 1/ #Propaganda
