No classified information was passed on when former British military pilots offered training to China, a South African flying school has said. “has been in contact with the UK MoD for many years and they are fully aware of the nature of the company's business".
None of its trainers are in possession of legally or operationally sensitive information relating to the national security interests of any country, whether those from where its employees are drawn or in which it provides training #china
The TFASA said that since 2013 "British tutors have been in direct contact on an individual basis with the UK MoD and other UK government agencies prior to undertaking training" including with Chinese clients and that no objections had been raised.

Anyone seen this on major news-channels - not at all in line with #masshysteria engineered by the global #deepstate? BIG kudos to @luigidimaio and Mario #Draghi @Palazzo_Chigi for coming up with this plan to end #UkraineRussiaWar - throwing down a gauntlet to the #deepstate. ...
... and they will have to craft an "alliance of the sane", so started with @antonioguterres and canvassing #G7 - knowing that a lot of "allied sanity" is needed against the war-mongers in #Ukraine, here @Podolyak_M speaking for the #deepstate ... english.nv.ua/nation/ukraine…
... and, finally, to give deserved credit: My attention was drawn to this initiative by this interesting interview on status of negotiations in @truthout, quite interesting otherwise, too - though nothing really new. truthout.org/video/talks-to…

So schrecklich die Ereignisse in der #Ukraine sind – viele Experten haben die Situation exakt vorausgesehen. Die Liste reicht von Chomsky über Kissinger bis #Mearsheimer. Keiner hat auf sie gehört. Ich habe eine Quellensammlung bei @RnaudBertrand für Sie übersetzt ⬇ (1/22)
George Kennan, gehört zu den bedeutendsten Strategen der US-Geschichte gehört. Bereits 1998 warnte er davor, dass die NATO-Erweiterung ein „tragischer Fehler“ sei, die eines Tages eine „schlimme Reaktion durch Russland“ hervorrufen würden. (2/22)
Ganz ähnlich Henry #Kissinger 2014. Er meinte, dass „die Ukraine aus russischer Sicht niemals bloß ‚Ausland‘ sein“ könne. Der Westen solle daher eine Linie wählen, die auf „Aussöhnung“ abzielt. Zudem sollte die „Ukraine nicht der #NATO beitreten“. washingtonpost.com/opinions/henry… (3/22)
Here is the photo of #Chomsky with Epstein's Paris Butler, uploaded on Dec 1, 2016.

So I tracked Chomsky's movements in the month before.
On Nov 5 he was in Barcelona to give a speech at the United Nations University global think tank and postgraduate teaching organisation.

Just read Pleyer & Hartmann’s (2019) paper ‘Constructing a consensus on language evolution? Convergences and differences between biolinguistics and usage-based approaches’ (doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.…). It’s a beast! 🦁 1/
OK, the bibliography takes up 5K of the 19K words, but that in itself tells you something.
The authors (@symbolicstorage and @hartmast) have done an amazing job of surveying the lively and increasingly complex field of language evolution. 2/

Their basic argument, made very convincingly, is that there's evidence of convergence between biolinguistic (or Chomskian) and usage-based (or emergentist) approaches to the evolution of language. There appears to be movement in both “camps” to make this possible. 3/
Noam Chomsky is and always has been A SPOOK

The first red flag we find in Chomsky's Wikipedia bio is that he was appointed to Harvard's Society of Fellows in 1951, at age 22.

This is a strange society; in that you don't have to be going to Harvard or even planning to go to Harvard to be nominated or appointed. Chomsky never went to Harvard, getting all his degrees from the University of Pennsylvania.
You will tell me Chomsky was physically on Harvard campus for three years during his fellowship, but he had absolutely no requirements while there. That should look highly suspicious to you.
Hay periodistas que se dedican a propagar propaganda (como dice #chomsky "de manera ingenua"). No leen, no analizan el contexto histórico. Solo propagan información, estando "de acuerdo" sin base, ni hechos que lo respalden. Existe el racismo y la xenofobia en Japón?
Probablemente sí. Pero la percepción es otra muy diferente, ya que no hacen propaganda de ese tipo en ese país. Y los periodistas, se cuidan mucho de difundir informaciones sin base. 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Hasta los Alemanes han hecho su mea culpa. Pero, tampoco andan diciendo que todos los Alemanes son racistas y xenofobos (Aunque hay neonazis en Alemania). Para ellos es una parte fea de su pasado reciente. 🤷♂️
I picked up this book at the Sophia Bookstore (مكتبة صوفية) in #Kuwait a few months ago - an excellent bookshop btw with knowledgable staff especially on #philosophy - short thread on #Foucault and #contemporary_philosophy 1/
The author Zouaoui Beghoura (الزواوي بغوره) is an Algerian Professor of philosophy at Kuwait University where he has taught since 2002 and is a leading specialist on Michel #Foucault (1926-1984) having translated a number of his works 2/
Most of these works were published by #DaralTalia in #Beirut and this one was also first published there in 2005 3/

Some reflections on my new paper with @ptsgmartins in @PLOSBiology, where we argue against #Chomsky & Berwick's view on how human #language evolved. [Thread]

@ptsgmartins @PLOSBiology We were inspired by points made (frequently and compellingly) by e.g. @WiringTheBrain and @ProfSimonFisher about what one can (and cannot) infer from the phenotype about the genotype and vice-versa. 2/
@ptsgmartins @PLOSBiology @WiringTheBrain @ProfSimonFisher In some sense, the main point we make should not be news. But it bears repeating especially if alternative views (like #Chomsky's) are bound to be influential, and are used to refuse to engage with the complexity of the underlying biology 3/

"A Guide to Navigating False Claims & Smears of Antisemitism on Twitter"
1) If they're a writer of best-selling children’s books & calling out antisemitism, they're : Undermining Corbyn / a Zionist shill / a Tory / a tax dodger & should stick to writing about Wizards.

2) If they're a Holocaust Survivor calling out antisemitism, they’ve not learnt their lesson / should know better / are part of an ‘industry’ & probably weren’t there anyway.
3) If they're a successful actor calling out antisemitism, they're backstabbing Jeremy / in the Zionist Lobby / a Tory & should stick to shit like Eastenders.
Je reprends mon thread sur Robert #Faurisson, au coeur des évolutions du négationnisme et de son importance croissante dans le débat français. C'est aussi le portrait d'une certaine extrême droite et d'une frange minoritaire de l'extrême gauche.
Des sujets dignes du @GEG_org.
Des sujets dignes du @GEG_org.
Nous en étions restés au début des années 1980 et aux premiers procès. À ce moment-là Faurisson vient de publier un article dans Le Monde (lemonde.fr/archives/artic…), provoquant une polémique nationale dans un contexte, bien étudié par Henry Rousso, de retour du refoulé de la WW2.
Les noms de Paul Touvier, depuis le début des années 1970, René Bousquet, depuis 1978, Maurice Papon, depuis 1981, ou Klaus Barbie, arrêté en 1983 en Bolivie, sont autant de rappel de l'antisémitisme d'État sous Vichy et de la collaboration active à la déportation des Juifs.
