🚨 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 . This was always the end-game.

Heritage are running Project 2025.

Remember 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 in blue/green.

-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.

A diplomatic source close to the Hungarian embassy told the #guardian: “Orbán is confident that the Ukraine aid will not pass in Congress. That is why he is trying to block assistance from the EU as well.”

Those trying to grasp how US lawmakers can be partnering with Hungarian fascists to do Putin's bidding should read Ben Lorber's series on NatCon III, which lays out the unholy alliance. Kevin Roberts of Heritage pledged his commitment that week, too.

Pro coup, Christo-fascist.

Ukraine aid was blocked in the Senate last week. That sent a dangerous signal to Putin and other strongmen like Orbán and Xi that our divisions can be exploited to harm Ukraine and weaken America.

Orban embraces, enables russia's invasion and genocide of #Ukrainians. He and the Heritage scam are teetering across the line into advocating for the defense of war criminals.

Make the meeting public and livestream it. Show us who’s there and what they have to say.

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."

British news org The #Guardian has created a brilliant/horrifying visualization of the day by day mass shootings in the #US since 2014. There is a mass shooting (at least four people are shot or killed, not including the shooter) almost every single day in #America. Most don’t even make the news because they are just so common.

An embarrassing multi-million-dollar accounting error that occurred during PM Harper's tenure and was covered up for years at Veterans Affairs #Canada will end up costing taxpayers almost $1 billion.
More than 272,000 veterans were short-changed on pension and disability payments for almost eight years.
The error was fixed, but Harper's govt decided not to notify the affected veterans and not to offer reimbursement for the missed payments.

@CanadianCrone @gemelliz @hannu_ikonen I call reporters out when they screw up. When the Guardian used a photo from a protest that had been shot 3 months prior on a different location (not related to the article) I chastised both the writer and made the #Guardian write a correction. It’s work but we can change the bias by not accepting it. I’ll start reading the #CBC again. So when you see bullsh*t, write up here and let’s gang up on them.

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.

No mention of Plaid or NI parties.

Ah. This is being stirred by the notorious which consistently refuses to clarify who funds it - and IIRC is part of the Tufton Street Mafia. So they have an agenda which includes privatising the NHS.

Why is the not explaining this?

Hier hat der #Guardian mit klaren Worten die Problematik umrissen.
"Die Traktorenkolonnen, die in Deutschland Straßen blockiert haben.. sind die jüngste Welle einer wachsenden Welle der Wut gegen die Bemühungen, die Natur Europas vor der Verschmutzung zu schützen, die von ihren Höfen ausgeht.In den letzten Jahren haben Landwirte in Westeuropa immer heftiger gegen Maßnahmen zum Schutz des Planeten gekämpft, die ihrer Meinung nach zu viel kosten".

It is not as though the SNP had to shame the Labour s*ds from doing the right thing is it?

It is all about the Guardian's bigoted view of London supremacy.

Headline in the - plan to brand anyone ‘undermining’ UK as extremist

They're really peaking on the divisive populism earlier than I expected. If this and the Braverman bullshit earlier today isn't the opening salvo in yet another Tory leadership contest, I'm terrified of what the next year will bring for the UK

Serious conversations are being had here, they are not going to get anywhere while Westminster rules the roost.

schreibt #ArwaMahdawi in ihrem neuesten Bericht im #Guardian:

„Obwohl er sich selbst als Kämpfer für die Meinungsfreiheit bezeichnet, hat Musk auch sehr deutlich gemacht, dass er von bestimmten Formen der freien Meinungsäußerung nicht begeistert ist. Er wird das Recht von jemandem, sich im Internet transphob und ableistisch auszudrücken, bis zum Ende verteidigen, aber Gott bewahre, dass jemand von seiner Redefreiheit Gebrauch macht und etwas Schlechtes über ihn sagt! Der dünnhäutige Milliardär hat Mitarbeiter gezwungen, restriktive Nichtverleumdungsverträge zu unterzeichnen, ...
Musk hat auch das Gesetz bemüht, um seine Kritiker auszuschalten. Letzten Monat wies .. ein Richter eine Klage von X gegen das Center for Countering Digital #Hate (CCDH) ab, eine gemeinnützige Organisation, die Berichte über einen Anstieg von #Hassreden und rassistischen Inhalten auf X seit der Übernahme durch Musk veröffentlicht hat.“
