Jail term for non-violent art museum protester
7 November 2025
*US climate activists condemn 18-month jail term for non-violent art museum protester.*
If they had actually damaged the art, that would deserve punishment. But they took care to make their "damage" purely symbolic, leaving the painting undamaged in fact. This punishment was pure injustice.
It appears that they were jailed for 6 months awaiting trial, too.
Egypt and ICRC aid HAMAS search for hostages' corpses
7 November 2025
Israel permitted Egypt and the ICRC to aid HAMAS in searching for hostages' corpses in the part of Gaza where Palestinians are now usually shot on sight. This included equipment to dig up corpses buried under rubble. Finally, Israel was allowing HAMAS to do what Israel demanded it do.
Just a couple of days later, Israel bombarded Gaza widely, claiming that this was to punish HAMAS for not yet having finished that job.
This is absurd. It seems that Netanyahu sees no need to have a coherent policy, or even to pretend to have one.
Canada's political ad in the US
7 November 2025
Canada's political ad in the US, which quoted from a speech by Ronald Reagan in which he denounced tariffs in general (because he advocated friction-less trade to boost business), didn't mention a narrow exception that Reagan has described in that same speech.
The exception was to punish alleged violation of a trade treaty for low tariffs.
Here is a detailed analysis comparing the quotation to the whole speech.
Was this omission a serious misrepresentation? I don't think so. The subject of the ad was the bully's tariffs on imports from Canada, and that exception isn't pertinent to this subject.
I don't entirely agree with Reagan's general position. It is possible to use tariffs to boost domestic industry, and legitimate to do so. However, for that method to succeed, it must be applied with careful thought — something that the US government has failed to do with its tariffs.
Gorilla habitats and pristine forest at risk
7 November 2025
*Gorilla habitats and pristine forest at risk as DRC opens half of country to oil and gas drilling bids.*
In the long term, the transitory "value" of burning that fossil fuel will be insignificant, but the cost of the damage it does could be irreplaceable loss.
US government claims entitled to kill people traveling in small boats
7 November 2025
The US government claims it is entitled to kill people traveling in small boats in the Caribbean, but admits it has no evidence that they are really "terrorists", and does not even know who they are.
Underestimate of how rich the rich are
7 November 2025
Most people drastically underestimate how much richer the rich in their country are than ordinary workers. When they see the facts, many start advocating systematic redistribution.
Protesters who colored Stonehenge
7 November 2025
British protesters who colored Stonehenge temporarily orange using food coloring were prosecuted, absurdly, for nonexistent "damage".
Repressive exaggerations like this are part of the standard playbook of governments that have submitted to the power of the plutocrats.

Russian soldiers who refuse suicide missions
7 November 2025
Journalists in Russia report that commanders are torturing or killing soldiers who refuse suicide missions.
I would expect that the reason these commanders are not punished is that they are doing what Putin wants them to do.
Threats of US troops to invade Nigeria
7 November 2025
The war-lover threatens to send US troops to invade Nigeria to wipe out their equivalent of the Taliban.
The US tried this in Afghanistan, with the initial support of most of the population, but the effort ultimately failed. The war-lover in his first term was unable to make it work, and then spoke of pulling out the US troops. Biden displayed political courage by actually pulling the plug on the failed intervention. But the war lover claims that in Nigeria victory would be easy.
Or maybe it is just another bluff to look tough.

Food stamps situation, US
7 November 2025
The bully plans to supply only half the normal amount of food stamps during the shutdown.

Buying fast food through an app
4 November 2025
Beware fast food stores that pressure you to place your order through an app, rather than with a human sales clerk. In addition to snooping on you and gouging you with a personalized price, they may be tricking you into signing away your legal rights through the fine print.
If you have adopted the practice of always paying cash, as I have, you're safe from this trick.
I've urged my state assembly member to make it illegal to impose arbitration on customers, suppliers or employees. If you're a US citizen, how about if you do the same?
Fast food is not meant for eating anyway. It is meant for fasting.

US attorney for northern New York State
4 November 2025
The perverter tried to appoint a new US attorney for northern New York State, but the Senate did not approve him. So the perverter invented a new job title (which does not specifically require Senate approval) and appointed him to that new job, giving him the same authority.
Is this a general security hole for a malicious president to bypass senate approval for officials in the executive branch?
Four countries derailed oil and gas phase-out
4 November 2025
New Data Shows Just Four Countries Responsible for Derailing Oil and Gas Phase-out Progress since Paris Agreement.
They are the US, Canada, Australia and Norway.
I omitted fro the title the misleading term "global north", which, like its antonym "global south", tries to squeeze this conflict into an conception of regional conflict which it does not fit. This conflict is against a non-geographic power structure, which dominates certain countries for reasons based in geology rather than geography.

Bully's orders to kill civilians in the Caribbean sea
4 November 2025
Robert Reich argues that the bully's orders to kill civilians in the Caribbean Sea are not really about drugs, or Maduro, or Venezuela. Rather, they are meant to prepare the US military to occupy US cities and kill unarmed people without hesitation — to rig the 2026 election.

New, national police-force ordered, US
4 November 2025
The wrecker has ordered each state's National Guard to train 500 soldiers to become part of a "national, militarized police force". He might send it to majority-Democrat areas to disrupt elections.
Spotify music recruits for ICE
3 November 2025
In October 2025, Spotify ran an ad to recruit workers for the US deportation thugs. The ad made the usual bogus assertion that the people they arrest are "the worst of the worst", in line with the deportation thugs' claim to prioritize convicted criminals. In fact, they often arrest foreigners who are harmless, those who have visas, and even US citizens.

Fast heavy rain hit outskirts of Beijing
31 October 2025
A fast heavy rain (half a meter) hit the outskirts of Beijing and forced evacuation of 80,000 people.
I wonder if this will make the government realize that global heating means global disaster, and that there is no time to lose in curbing global greenhouse gas emissions.

Emissions created by gas flaring

*Gas flaring created 389m tonnes of [greenhouse gas emissions] last year, report finds. Rules to prevent "enormous waste" of fuel are seen as weak and poorly enforced and firms have little incentive to stop.*
US wetlands "restored" using treated sewage
31 October 2025
*US wetlands "restored" using treated sewage tainted with forever chemicals.* At last it's not as bad a putting that on farmland as "fertilizer".
Most organisms in wetlands don't live for decades, so they may never accumulate enough of PFAS to do them much harm. But that is no more than a slightly educated guess — I don't know it for a fact.
