Anti-Muslim hate and antisemitism
26 June 2026
*Anti-Muslim hate and antisemitism are twin crises. We must confront them together.*
As usual, the religion that is really dangerous in the west is the majority religion here — Christianity. Particularly the evangelical variety.
Cuts to intervention programs
26 June 2026
*[The saboteur's] cuts to intervention programs could increase violent crime, experts say. Community programs are more effective at reducing violence than simply making arrests, advocates say.*
Meta suing former employee
26 June 2026
Meta is suing a former employee, Sarah Wynn-Williams, for publishing a book about her experiences working there.
She was invited to panel at a major book festival, but because the court had threatened to fine her, she dared not speak or make any gestures.
The book is called Careless People. If you want to buy the book, or any book, I urge you not to obtain it from Amazon. By paying cash for it anonymously, you can fight against Orwellian surveillance.
I have found a local bookstore that is willing to let me order books anonymously, paying cash in advance, and I occasionally do that. That enables me to order new books (but not used books) that are not available in a physical book store. Since the store does not know my name, I think its request for cash in advance is entirely reasonable.
Maybe you too can find a bookstore near you that will do this for you.

Israeli politicians comparing Palestinians to "Amelek"
26 June 2026
When Israeli politicians compare Palestinians to "Amalek", they are advocating genocide.
European web site published identities of deportation thugs
26 June 2026
A European web site and its volunteer contributors help defend democracy in the US by publishing the identities of masked, badge less deportation thugs.
Why bully directs systematized cruelty
26 June 2026
Why does the bully direct his agents to perform so much systematized cruelty on randomly chosen victims? One possible explanation is that imposing an inflexible system manipulates people to believe that the system is justified and correct.

Why UK banned Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur from speaking
26 June 2026
Why did the UK ban Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur from speaking at Oxford? Arwa Mahdawi's response is, "Because on Gaza, we punish the witness, not the crime."
*Banning leftwing activists from entering Britain: an illiberal move with a long history in [Britain].*
The Oxford Union invited them to speak by videoconference instead.
I hope they don't plan to use Zoom, because Zoom censors remote talks about political topics much as the UK government censors presencial ones.
Deportation prison for families
26 June 2026
The deportation thugs were planning to set up a special deportation prison specifically for families.
It might be a little less cruel to children than an ordinary deportation prison, normally used only to jail adults. However, if it tortures the prisoners like most US deportation prisons, it could do irreparable harm in a few weeks.

Palantir on path for access to UK medical records
26 June 2026
The UK is on a path to give Palantir access to patients' medical records in England. If Palantir gets that, it will let the magats use it for persecution.
Jamaican thug accused of shooting protester
26 June 2026
A Jamaican thug is accused of shooting a protester dead. The protest was over the fatal shooting of her cousin by another thug a few days before.
House passes resolution to end US fighting with Iran
26 June 2026
The House of Representatives passed the resolution to end US fighting with Iran. The Senate has not yet voted, but it may pass.
As the article shows, the bullshitter has already demonstrated how he would respond if the resolution does pass: with falsification. His philosophy is, "Grab what you want, then state contemptuous bullshit as an excuse."
If senators don't like to be given bullshit, they will need to start blocking lots of other things the bullshitter wants.
Iran and US both losing the war
26 June 2026
*Iran and the US both think they are winning the war. The truth is they are both losing.*
Prisoners denied food and water until they sign documents
26 June 2026
Prisoners of the deportation thugs report they are denied food and clean water unless they sign documents they can't even read.
The attempt to force false confessions is a standard practice of cruel governments that despise justice. Many countries have done it. It is the shame of the US to be one of them.
Biofuel "solution" can do terrible harm
26 June 2026
The biofuel "solution" to global heating can do terrible harm if it substitutes for increased solar and wind electric generation. *Experts say increased use of crops for fuel is "dangerous game" that could send food price inflation soaring.*
Pretend Intelligence agents mess things up like Mr Magoo
26 June 2026
Because Pretend Intelligence "agents" do not really understand what they were told to do, not at the level of ground truth that is, nor the actual effects of their actions, they often mess things up like Mr Magoo.
Impeachment to induce splits in the Republican Party
26 June 2026
Ralph Nader argues that an impeachment drive against the corrupter now, before the 2026 election, would be a good way to induce splits in the Republican Party and may be drive him to resign.
His arguments may be valid, but I wonder how much less destructive and cruel Vance would be.
hatred directed at restaurants rebuking deportation thugs
26 June 2026
Right-wing extremists aim violence and hatred at restaurants that join in rebuking the deportation thugs.
Dangers of storing data with tech companies
26 June 2026
One of the dangers of tech companies storing your personal data, and personal data about you, in their online dis-services is that agents of repression can copy that data from the company without even informing you.
Plan to break up National Center for Atmospheric Research
26 June 2026
The wrecker's henchmen plan to break up and wreck the National Center for Atmospheric Research, stating global heating denialism as their motive.
A court blocked one attack, ruling that it was "arbitrary and capricious".
If they succeed, the blow to climate modeling may indirectly kill millions more people, perhaps hundreds of millions more, but it will be hard to estimate how many of additional deaths were due to the sabotage of NCAR. In 20 years or so, their successors will deny that the saboteurs of today had anything to do with the world-wide disasters, but people who reject their lies will understand who is responsible.
Scott Pelley told to mis-report about Renee Good
26 June 2026
Scott Pelley reports that Bari Weiss, appointed saboteur of CBS News, told the 60 Minutes team to say that Renee Good was "driving toward" the thug that shot her. (Their video showed she was steering to avoid him.)
She also directed the team to make the protesters appear more violent (another request for a lie).
FBI fired analyst who warned of "Catholic violent extremists
26 June 2026
The FBI fired just recently the analyst who warned in 2023 of potential danger from "Catholic violent extremists" opposed to abortion.
As we all know, the danger from anti-abortion activists in the US comes mainly from evangelicals, not from Catholics. And their violence is primarily lawfare rather than direct violence.
Aside from those details, the warning was right on track. State efforts to ban abortion have killed a number of women who needed an abortion to save their lives after a complication in pregnancy.
I suppose the reason that the FBI fired them is that the violent anti-abortion extremists are supporters of the saboteur in chief, who is the boss of the head of the FBI.
US was moving towards oligarchy before corrupter
26 June 2026
Robert Reich argues that the US was steadily moving towards oligarchy before the corrupter pushed it quickly to the extreme.
Therefore, if we do overcome the corrupter and his followers, they may turn out to have taught us a crucial lesson about defending democracy, justice, and honesty.
Claims UK cops treat white suspects worse than non-white suspects
26 June 2026
Right-wing extremists in the UK constantly accuse the cops of treating white suspects worse than nonwhite suspects, with no evidence except how often they claim this.
Meanwhile, statistics continue to show bias against black suspects.
It is a standard right-wing extremist strategy: claim the opposite of the truth, and repeat it in a chorus until people lose track of what is true.
Cuban journalist forced into exile
26 June 2026
A Cuban journalist founded an independent internet magazine. "State security" forced him into exile by showing him on TV labeled as a "CIA agent".
Sweeping vision for planetary survival
26 June 2026
* Humanity can raise living standards, reduce inequality and keep global heating within a 2°C rise, according to a sweeping vision for planetary survival.*
The plan includes redistributing a large part of rich people's wealth. I don't have the time or background to validate the details, but it sounds plausible, if we can overcome the power of the rich.
The authors of the plan describe it.
It is worth a try, since our current course is taking us to disaster.
EPA enforcement of antipollution regulations
26 June 2026
Systematic changes magats have made in internal procedures have nearly eliminated EPA enforcement of antipollution regulations.
Millions paid by US to countries to receive deportees
26 June 2026
The US has paid millions to convince various countries to receive deportees from the US who have no relationship from those countries.
80% of them were re-deported from there to their home countries. (Most of them, the US could not deport to their home countries because they were in danger of persecution there.)
Amazingly, the US plans to deport 400 Iranians to Iran, *including Christian converts, ethnic minorities, and political dissidents.* The persecutor isn't satisfied with torturing and killing people directly; he wants to help Iran do so too.

Urgent: Reject Jay Clayton as director of national intelligence

Rebuked for wanting to raise taxes on wealthy
25 June 2026
A conversation between a Labour minister and Ambassador Mandelson rebuked Labour MPs for wanting to raise taxes on some people who could afford to pay more. Another minister said this was embarrassing.
It should be extremely embarrassing for Labour to be exposed as ridiculing the idea of raising taxes on the rich. That is exactly what it must do to reduce the poverty than has been increased by directing an ever-increasing fraction of society's wealth to the rich.
Activists moved to solitary confinement

Appeasing bond markets
25 June 2026
"Appeasing bond markets" — prioritizing keeping interest rates for government bonds low — is supposed to bring "stability", but in the UK it means a steady decline in the productive economy.
A government has a practical need for low interest rates if it regularly borrows money to spend. Clearly governments need to get less funds by borrowing and more by taxing the rich.
Sweden urges parents to put limits on snoop phones
25 June 2026
Sweden urges parents to put limits on when and where they use snoop phones, especially when around children, because it seems that seeing adults use them is a bad influence.

Clean water to fight antimicrobial resistance
25 June 2026
*The world needs clean water to help fight antimicrobial resistance.*
Rich people resist paying for everyone to have clean water, but the result may be the death of some of them as well as many others.
*Antibiotics use in livestock could rise by a third in next 15 years, UN report warns.*
If that happens it will drive antibiotic resistance up. Efforts to reduce the mass use of antibiotics in cattle have met with opposition from Big Ag, which profits from the practice although it results in the death of humans.
The article bizarrely speaks of "human resistance", but the resistance in question is resistance of bacteria to medicines meant to kill them.

Scott Pelley condemned the magat management of CBS for "murdering 60 Minutes", and they fired him for that, as he must have expected. Since then, he has reported that they had tried to command him to insert lies into the show.
Australia's national disability insurance proposed overhaul
25 June 2026
*[Australia's] national disability insurance scheme’s proposed overhaul will cause "material harm" to Australians with disabilities, undermine its original intentions and hand unprecedented power to the health minister, the federal government's own reform advisory committee warns.*
In a country where business has political power, they lobby to modify every system and every new law is that the rich and the businesses get the benefit. It seems that they did that to this reform, which was apparently intended to help disabled people. The lobbyists tend to argue that "this is the best outcome that is politically possible."
Wrecker fired independent board for NSF
25 June 2026
The wrecker fired the independent board that oversees the National Science Foundation and replaced them with obedient saboteurs. Their first act of sabotage is to terminate the Ocean Observatories Initiative and reserve its monitoring equipment.
Nothing can help the businesses that want to cause mayhem in the ocean like eliminating the equipment that can monitor their activities and the changes they cause.

25 June 2026
The Iranian regime is starting to allow people to use the internet again, but people are worried that the shutdown was used to introduce new systems of surveillance and censorship that are not directly visible.
Oil pipeline across Bosnia
25 June 2026
A company lacking in experience has been contracted to build an oil pipeline across Bosnia. It may have been chosen because participants in the corrupter's Jan 6 coup attempt are involved in it.
An inexperienced company is likely to screw up. With an oil pipeline, that could mean oil leaks and ineradicable pollution. But the corrupter and his friends well suppose they will never be held accountable for whatever damage may follow from the choice to be careless.
