Anti-imperialist = anti-capitalist = abolitionist (prison, police, borders, arms & armies) - unashamed to be a communist. Opposed to bullies who use ownership, gender, race, or sexuality to dominate others. Shame & dispossess the perpetrators!

This is a distressing story, linking as it does sexual & physical abuse of people trying to protect officially protected territories to try to mitigate environmental destruction, with the ecocide practiced by transnational capital owners with the help of local compradors:
Our environment team has been working hard to investigate some of the worst polluters and the impact of the climate crisis on local communities

What’s the price for protecting the world’s best hope against climate change?

Yes.

My wife says I am being to kind to UK media.

It's not that they are hapless in failing to hold Farage to account, she says, it's that they agree with him.

I think she may be right, which is very bad news for all of us.
I don't know if it's that they are Oxbridge educated. It's more that they are right wing and support Farage.

No surprise Epstein had his hands soiled with imperialist wrongdoing: sexual abuse of vulnerable young women, as with Trump, is just a self-gratifying amusement alongside the really important work of sustaining the Empire through violent abuse & extraction on the back of military domination.

Zionist big-assed asset owners directly sacking anti-genocide media figures for alleged antisemitism. But condemning apartheid & mass murder can never be a form of racism; it is political Zionism, a project of UK & then US imperialism, that is racist.

As the UK government dismantles privacy rights and public freedoms, Alex Karp – the nationalist CEO of Palantir, one of the US firms handed huge UK government data contracts – is happy to say publicly that he’s relaxed about Western Nations becoming surveillance states, as long as Palantir benefits.

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa.

Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality.

In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.
NEW: British journalist Sami Hamdi is being released from US detention.

Trump administration agents detained him two weeks ago at the San Francisco airport — hours after he addressed an event, where he urged US leaders to take an “America First” approach rather than “Israel First.”

Labour right-wing careerists under MacSweeney up to & including Starmer all act as if their understanding of how to govern is to blatantly deceive: they try to function as a kind of disguising blanket over the class & institutions they are actually working for - Blackrock, Oracle, arms corporations.

We thought we were electing a Labour government to replace the blatantly corrupt incompetent Tories. In fact, we were electing Oracle & BlackRock, the US-centred war machine, & a subservient non-government, promoting the 5 scourges the State is meant to combat.
