🚨#Guardian report: major anti-Ukraine conference will be held in Washington, DC Dec 11.

Heritage cesspool will bring together Hungarian dictator Viktor Orbán’s team & Republican congressmen to strategize how to end US support for #Ukraine. This was always the end-game.

Heritage are running Project 2025.

Remember #MagaMike Johnson's Paris conference last month? Orban's policy advisor was there with him.

European & American neo-fascist "libertarians" have been in bed together for years. US Evangelicals have joined. Here's part of the speaker list for 2022's NatCon III: Peter Thiel & his proteges + Orban's advisor Balazs Orban (red), people tied to #J6 in blue/green.

#J6-ties: Kevin Lynn, a faux-left anti-immigrant activist, brought the now-convicted Rachel Powell to the Capitol. Amanda Milius directed "The Plot Against the President", then was hired by Chris Miller. Wilfred McClay reps Hillsdale College, which tried to overturn the vote.

Pro coup autocrats, wanna be dictators.

Weird article in the #Guardian about #Gabon. Basically swallowing raw the claims of the president's own staff that he is very popular - without mentioning that he was a hereditary dictator, whose dynasty was in power for 56 years. And explicitly claiming that his regime was a democracy.
I know nothing about the coup makers, but going all in behind the Bongo dynasty seems... strange.

Reading this list of the greatest children’s movies from the #Guardian and I’m fascinated by the ages group recommendations!

ET for the same age group as Frozen? Yellow Submarine for under 5yo? And I’d honestly let my children watch Star Wars (8-12yo) before The Wizard of Oz or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (5-8yo!!)

#Scotland is in decline because of #SNP’s independence obsession, says #Gove

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/mar/02/scotland-in-decline-because-snp-independence-obsession-michael-gove

I’m not going take this article seriously enough to critique the shite. But it’s interesting that the #Guardian really can’t help itself. Coverage of the SNP conference cursory, but in an edition of the paper that also has a full article outlining Gove’s mendacity and incompetence they publish this. There will be no discussion.

Their Scottish correspondent has form.

The Guardian keeps up the pressure

From the 31st January and 1st Feb

journalists are having a field day - and of course they do not allow any comments and/or .

This is what passes for Scottish news. I am surprised the missing Macaque has not been blamed on Scotland's attempts to mitigate the two child policy.

Absolutely inexcusable - "‘Mind-boggling’ #methane #emissions from #Turkmenistan revealed - Leaks of potent greenhouse gas #GHG could be easily fixed, say experts, and would rapidly reduce global heating - Methane leaks alone from Turkmenistan’s two main fossil fuel fields caused more global heating in 2022 than the entire carbon emissions of the UK, satellite data has revealed.

Methane emissions have surged alarmingly since 2007 and this acceleration may be the biggest threat to keeping below 1.5C of global heating, according to scientists. It also seriously risks triggering catastrophic climate tipping points, researchers say.

Emissions of the potent greenhouse gas from the oil- and gas-rich country are “mind-boggling”, and an “infuriating” problem that should be easy to fix, experts have told the Guardian.

The data produced by Kayrros for the #Guardian found that the western fossil fuel field in Turkmenistan, on the #Caspian coast, leaked 2.6m tonnes of methane in 2022. The eastern field emitted 1.8m tonnes. Together, the two fields released emissions equivalent to 366m tonnes of #CO2, more than the UK’s annual emissions, which are the 17th-biggest in the world."

It is foolish and self-indulgent for the anti-Starmer left to split the Labour vote

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/26/it-is-foolish-and-self-indulgent-for-the-anti-starmer-left-to-split-the-labour-vote

It is just so bad of us. The Guardian clearly believes that we should all (across the whole of the UK) vote for Labour, whether through policies and proposals disgust and repel us or not. Vote for bad or worse….

#ClimateDiary like others i usually plead for #ClimateNews to be given more urgency and prominence. The #Guardian does this now, with #heatwave live updates. And even my determinedly optimistic father now sends me climate worries. Paradoxically, it’s making me feel deeply miserable: i guess somehow everyone else’s denial was actually enabling me, too, to cling on to an illusion of normality. Now it’s all the #NewAbnormal, to quote Michael Mann, and surprsingly hard

Screenshot of this text: Summary The UK government’s new plan to cope with the climate crisis has been condemned as “very weak” by experts, who say not enough is being done to protect lives and livelihoods. South East Water has reported a pre-tax loss of nearly £75m, which it blamed in part on the cost of dealing with last year’s “extreme weather events” including the record-breaking heatwave. The water firm, which supplies 2.2 million customers, said the weather events cost it £17m. Five people have been killed and two children remain missing after flood waters tore through parts of south-eastern Pennsylvania over the week during the latest round of violent storms to hit the region. China has confirmed a record temperature of 52.2C (126F) in the north-west of the country on Sunday. Italian health officials intensified heat warnings as the mercury in Rome was forecast to near 40C (104F). California’s Death Valley, often among the hottest places on Earth, reached a near-record 52C on Sunday. Firefighters are battling wildfires in the Canary Islands and Greece.

The Herald and The Guardian team up for more unionist drivel. After the rest of the Gruaniads ‘coverage’ should we just give up now? 🙄✌️(reversed)

Guardian Balanced reporting

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/02/the-snp-are-in-trouble-scottish-voters-on-the-drama-at-holyrood-john-swinney-humza-yousaf

If anyone has ever taken the trouble to read the comments (when allowed) below any article on Scotland will have realised, many, if not all, readers (they definitely seem to have done so) take a rather different view.

One more for their collection of ‘balanced articles' I suppose, along with Crace, Rowson and many more.

The Guardian told Daily Beast it has deleted Bin Laden's ‘Letter to America’ (justifying 9-11 on U.S. & crimes against )) due to it being “widely shared without its original context”. Viral videos urged to “go read” it, like Lynnette Adkins urged her 200K followers.

I really love how they are working so hard to erase history and preventing younger generation who no longer buying the official narrative and the propagandized version of it.

today we at @fattoquotidiano run a in-depth interview with British political cartoonist, #SteveBell, just sacked by the #Guardian for his cartoon on #Netanyahu.

He worked for #Guardian for the last 42 years (English):

The main problem with being sacked for alleged is that there is nothing in that cartoon that, beyond reasonable doubt, can be read as objectionable. You may FEEL it is, but as us old lags know only too well, interpretation is a funny old game...

I keep seeing people sharing this article (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/aug/09/abc-australia-leaves-twitter-x-elon-musk?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other) and saying that ABC is leaving #twitter The reality is they are not leaving at all, they are pulling their political coverage off of the site. They have no problem keeping the rest of their content there.

I'm getting really tired of sites like the #guardian using misleading headlines and people creating discourse based on what is basically misinformation.

The real story here is #ABC would rather censor itself than leave #x

UK party's retconning of their position is truly awe inspiring (if an observer of ) To hear David Lammy tell it, he & have been supporters of, what normal people at least, call a

The trotted out a piece on duplicitous Lisa Nandy. Apparently, according to Nandy, LP had issues with motions lack of political timeline.

Well, it's so much more important to get the 'finer' points sorted as hundreds a day are being slaughtered, right?

The Guardian view on John Swinney’s Scotland: a new start but also more of the same

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/09/the-guardian-view-on-john-swinneys-scotland-a-new-start-but-also-more-of-the-same

The Guardian gotta Guardian - ‘absolute’ facts maybe but they shy away from any serious analysis of how in many areas Scotland is doing better than the other three countries - whoops, in their words, two countries and a principality) in many areas.

Unionism with a faux-socialist coat and stinking just as badly as without the coat.

Britain’s ‘most dangerous’ years lie ahead, warns Sunak. It’s cheap politics from a floundering PM

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/13/sunak-most-dangerous-britain-values

Comment is neither free or easy on the Gruaniad. I notice that Jenkins (a Brexit supporting unionist) failed to mention that Scots were included in Sunaks list of threats.

So much for free comment, and another reason I dropped my contribution to this SE England rag.
