#Syria #OPCW #chemical SAMS (Syrian American Medical Society) was at the forefront of a series of questionable chemical attacks in Syria. Now they are part of the OPCW and are overseeing any investigations, should there still be any.

84-year old retired priest Sue Parfitt has been repeatedly arrested for breaking counter-terror law by holding signs to protest the proscription of Palestine Action. Today, she went further than ever before, vocally expressing support for the group, and encouraging the police arresting her to join her in that support. She was arrested under section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000, a criminal offence that carries a sentence of up to 14-years. She told Novara Media why she’ll continue to break the law.

🇮🇱💥🇵🇸 Se você é um padeiro palestino trabalhando em paz, pode ser agredido por terroristas, humilhado ou até assassinado por colonos judeus sionistas armados. Depois, parte da mídia inverte os fatos: o padeiro vira o “terrorista”, e os agressores passam a ser apresentados como as eternas vítimas.

Israeli cabinet refuses to recognize Supreme Court ruling on media regulator —— The Israeli government has voted to reject a Supreme Court ruling allowing the country's broadcast regulator to continue operating despite lacking the legally required number of members, marking the first time Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet has openly refused to comply with a decision by the country's highest court. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi and Justice Minister Yariv Levin argued that the regulator has no legal authority until its membership is restored, insisting that any decisions it makes—including those affecting major television networks—will be considered "null and void." The cabinet accused the Supreme Court of overstepping its authority and vowed to use "all legal means" to overturn the ruling. The move has intensified warnings of a constitutional crisis, reviving tensions over Netanyahu's long-running campaign to curb judicial power. Opposition figures, including Yair Lapid, Naftali Bennett, and Gadi Eisenkot, accused the government of undermining Israel's democratic institutions, while President Isaac Herzog warned that refusing to obey court rulings crosses a "red line" and threatens national unity.

Nun da Militärausgaben ein Drittel des Bundeshaushalts ausmachen sollen, erscheinen die ersten schockierten Leitartikel. Wahr ist: Alle Parteien außer das BSW - von CDU bis Linke - haben im Bundesrat der Aufhebung der Schuldenbremse NUR für Rüstung zugestimmt. Die AfD hat die Hochrüstung ebenso frühzeitig begrüßt. Die Medien haben dafür getrommelt!

That moment when Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus pretended to be Ukrainians and got former French President Hollande to reveal the truth about the Minsk agreements: "Everyone thought it was Putin who was playing for time. No, we were playing for time to strengthen Ukraine" (Francois Hollande)

250 years as a nation. 230 years of war. Why I wonder?

🇷🇺 Russian Darya Levchenkova won the Junior European Pole Sport competition in 🇵🇱Poland: — No Russian flag; — No Russian anthem; — 🇭🇺Hungarian girl congratulated her; — 🇺🇦Ukrainian girl, arms outstretched & waving a flag, boasts of her 2nd place... That's not a sport...

If Zelensky keeps escalating the glorification of his "bloody heroes," more and more Poles will want to pull the plug on aid to Ukraine. Putin couldn't have scripted a better public relations campaign himself 😅 ------ A new nationwide poll conducted by Ariadna for o2.pl shows that Poles are deeply divided over continued support for Ukraine. 32% believe Poland should reduce its aid, another 32% say the current level is appropriate, while 20% think Poland should end assistance altogether. Only 6% support increasing aid, and 10% are undecided.

At the time of recording, Israeli airstrikes were pummeling Nabatieh al Fowka. Report from destroyed Dibbine.

The definition of terrorism

Secret documents from the UK Ministry of Defence were found in a landfill near the British Army's largest military base, The Sun on Sunday reports. The documents, discovered by a passerby, contained personal information about service members:

"🚨URGENT: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s life is in immediate danger, Physicians for Human Rights Israel and his lawyer warned Saturday, after a prison visit revealed the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital bearing fresh, severe injuries to his head, eyes, ears, and neck, so disfigured his own attorney initially struggled to recognize him. 🔹Attorney Nasser Odeh, who saw Abu Safiya Thursday at the underground Rakefet interrogation facility in Nitzan Prison, said he arrived shackled hand and foot, escorted by masked guards, struggling to breathe and speak, unable to sit upright, and repeatedly on the verge of losing consciousness. 🔹Abu Safiya told him that after his Supreme Court appeal was heard June 10, four or five guards entered his solitary cell at Ganot Prison and beat him with a hammer and batons, and that since his June 24 transfer to Rakefet he has been beaten daily, losing consciousness several times without receiving medical treatment. 🔹“This is the last time you will see me,” he told his lawyer. “They brought me here to kill me. I don’t see myself surviving. This is the end.” 🔹PHRI notes the escalation in torture began directly after Abu Safiya challenged his detention in court. He has been held without charge since December 27, 2024, under Israel’s Unlawful Combatants Law. 🔹The group has appealed to Israel’s attorney general and prison service demanding his immediate transfer, an independent medical examination, and an urgent judicial visit “before it is too late.” x.com/DropSiteNews/status/20…

Max Blumenthal reports from Tehran at the site of the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, where on February 28, the US and Israeli executed the elder statesman and many of his family members via airstrike — including his 14-month-old granddaughter.

What the Western mainstream media won't tell you is the fact that Zelensky won the Ukrainian election on the promise to give equal rights to Russian Ukrainians. Once commissioned by Washington he went full nazi.......

The EUSSR strikes again. As @RnaudBertrand absolutely correctly points out, this is the final death of freedom of expression and freedom of journalism in the EU. Worst thing is, we can‘t even be sure if it‘s only sharing the actual videos/articles that will put you in prison, or if, more generally, all INFORMATION that is contained in such pieces also counts as an offense…. Are we still allowed to talk about things that RT also talks about? Or is that it, your off to a Brussels Gulag?

Was a thaw in US-Russia ties "Born on the 4th of July”? Putin congrats Trump, who then calls Putin for 85-min. talk. Readout en.kremlin.ru/events/preside… gives prominence to NATO summit July 7-8 in Ankara. Putin depicts “real situation" on Ukraine battlefield. youtube.com/watch?v=eh011xWR…

Same in Germany, as our government pleases itself in copying the US-degrade.

A) Dieser offensichtliche Militärkeynesianismus ist wenig nachhaltig und produziert jede Menge Altmetall. @pat_kaczmarczyk hat das gut analysiert. B) Würde man sich dem Lehenherrn Trump widersetzen und „nur“ 2 Prozent für die Verteidigung ausgeben, könnte man die kleinen und mittleren Einkommen entlasten und den Binnenkonsum ankurbeln. C) Die Jugend will in ihrer überwältigenden Mehrheit gar nicht kriegsbereit werden. Leute wie @nymoen_ole sind ja gerade keine seltene Ausnahme, sondern stehen stellvertretend für die Mehrheit. Die Bundeswehr findet nicht einmal genug Berufssoldaten, die sich freiwillig für Litauen melden. D) Hunderte Milliarden für Militär auszugeben, während die eigene Bevölkerung unter den Generalverdacht der Faulheit gestellt wird und von Sozialkürzungen betroffen ist, wird nur zu weiterer Polarisierung führen. Auch im Ausland wird das – allem Gerede über Putins Angriff auf die NATO zum Trotz – nicht nur Freunde machen. E) Deutschland hat ein nachweislich grottenschlechtes Beschaffungswesen. Die Gefahr ist groß, dass man wieder von Lieferanten über den Tisch gezogen wird und/oder gewaltige Summen für veraltete Systeme ausgibt. Sinnvoll wäre eine Diskussion über eine gemeinsame europäische Beschaffung. Obwohl Putin angeblich jeden Moment angreifen kann, ist es hier aufgrund von Eifersüchteleien und mangelndem politischen Willen zu keinem Fortschritt gekommen.

Was Ecuadorian activist Monika Silva murdered for exposing govt-cartel links? The Grayzone's Oscar Leon spoke with close colleagues and friends of Ecuadorian activist Monika Silva, whose killing has shocked the nation, and deepened questions about the government's ties to narco cartels. Monika Silva was one of Ecuador’s most tireless anti-corruption and environmental activists. On June 8, she was found dead in her home in Montañita, Ecuador. The government claims she was depressed, and had committed suicide. This was misleading at best. A recent postmortem investigation revealed that Silva had been killed by a blunt trauma to the head, and strangulation. In the months leading up to her death, Silva had repeatedly warned that her life was in danger. She also revealed that she had presented evidence to the US Embassy in Quito of Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa’s links to the international drug trade. Noboa happens to be a key Trump ally, a billionaire son of Miami, who is rapidly transforming Ecuador into a militarized bulwark of US control. Silva's killing, and the government’s deceptive statements about it, demonstrate the harsh reality that forced so many Ecuadorians into silence. It is not safe to investigate corruption in this country.
