excellent summary of where we are now - BUT analysis by Political Capital shows that Orban could win back his 2/3rds constitutional majority with 45% of the vote while Magyar would have to win 55% of the vote to get a simple majority. See my analysis here www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/how...

A Norwegian home owner was tricked into installing highly advanced surveillance cameras pointed at Northern Europe's only LNG-plant, Melkøya.

The cameras have been running 24/7 and sent data to an Italian company now under investigatin. Cameras include advanced thermal sensors.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
The Legislation Upon winning a general election, a Reform government under Prime Minister Nigel Farage will: 1) Leave the ECHR 2.) Repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. 3.) Pass The Illegal Migration (Mass Deportation) Bill: This Bill will: Create a legal duty to remove illegal migrants for the Home Secretary The Bill opens with a blunt obligation for the Home Secretary: "The Secretary of State shall ensure the removal from the United Kingdom of each person who does not have extant leave to remain and is not an Irish citizen or otherwise protected by regulations made under this Act." The following parts of the legislation are introduced on an emergency basis, with an in-built sunset clause after 5 years: Disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UN Convention Against Torture, the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention (ECAT) Derogation is justified under the Vienna Convention doctrine of state of necessity: Britain faces a national emergency in which uncontrolled illegal migration undermines public order. These treaties will otherwise be used by activist judges to frustrate deportations, even after the repeals of the HRA and ECHR. Create Detention Power Without Hardial Singh Constraints This means illegal migrants can be detained until they are deported. Activist lawyers routinely use Hardial Singh to secure their client's bail, after which the client absconds. If you came to the UK illegally, you are ineligible for asylum. End of story All asylum claims will become inadmissible if made by a person within the Act's scope. If you came to the country illegally, you are ineligible for asylum in the UK. This strips the Home Office, the immigration tribunals and the higher courts of jurisdiction to even consider claims. A claim that cannot be considered cannot suspend removal and therefore, cannot delay a flight. Re-entering after deportation and destroying ID becomes a serious criminal offence Re-entry after deportation will be… The Operational Plan We will create an enforcement unit called UK Deportation Command, including an Illegal Migrant Identification Centre - harnessing cutting edge data fusion A Reform government will create a cutting edge enforcement data centre to relentlessly identify and detain all illegal migrants in the UK. Using powers granted by the new legislation, it will automatically share data between the Home Office, NHS, HMRC, DVLA, banks and the police. It will power bulk warrants, including mandatory biometric capture during any police encounter. Each power addresses a failure mode observed over the past decade - for example, banks and GP surgeries unaware of a customer's status, or overstayers slipping through because a warrant covered only a single property. Secure Immigration Removal Centres (SIRC) will be built rapidly to detain up to 24,000 Detention capacity for up to 24,000 will be created within 18 months. The Home Office will build Secure Immigration Removal Centres. This will be modular accommodation built in remote parts of the country. Conditions are basic but not punitive: prefabricated two-person rooms, canteen catering, on-site medical suites. Robust perimeters and internal movement controls prevent escapes. This enables detention-on-arrest: no more bail. This capacity would allow for up to 24,000 illegal migrants to be deported per month. Initial Voluntary Return Window A six-month Assisted Voluntary Return window precedes large-scale raids. Illegal migrants will be offered a financial incentive to self-deport. An app will be launched to facilitate this. The Deportation Flights The Home Office will scale up charters to 5 flights per day. To guard against last-minute aircraft unserviceability, the RAF will keep one Voyager aircraft on six-hour 'hot-spare' readiness. If a commercial charter breaks down, detainees can still be flown out that night, preserving operational integrity. The legal reset will mean activist lawyers will no longer be able preven…

Seeing the Austrian FPÖ — a party with Nazi roots, founded by an ex-SS officer, and with figures in its orbit still flirting with neo-Nazi sympathies — being received by Israel’s Prime Minister says a lot about how insane the world has become.

The video evidence is clear: Alex Pretti was not armed when he was shot. An agent removed Pretti's firearm from his waist before the shooting.

🗓️ 17 days after #Iran introduced an internet blackout to mask a deadly crackdown:

- minimal whitelisted service available to some users
- circumvention allows messages to get through
- brief connectivity spikes give false impression of wider restoration

The shutdown continues.

Erschütternd: Was DHS (Heimatschutzministerium) behauptet versus was jede:r mit eigenen Augen sehen kann

Bild 1: Alex Pretti, wie er ein Smartphone in der Hand hält, bevor er erschossen wird

Bild 2: DHS behauptet, er hätte sich mit einer Waffe genähert, der Beamte hätte „um sein Leben“ gefürchtet
Alex Pretti mit Smartphone / Quelle: Threads/@dangiessie Posting auf X von DHS mit dem Text: „At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here. The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. (…)“

“To believe these ICE train killings are a flaw in the system is absurd. They ARE the system. Authoritarian systems must use violence to consolidate the good-versus-evil narrative. At the same time, they use violence to crush resistance.Soon, people won't dare to go out on the street.It's textbook.”

Zu glauben, diese ICE-Tötungen seien ein Fehler im System, ist absurd. Sie SIND das System.

Autoritäre Systeme müssen durch Gewalt die Gut-gegen-Böse-Erzählung konsolidieren. Gleichzeitig brechen sie durch Gewalt Widerstand. Bald trauen sich Menschen nicht mehr auf die Straße. It’s textbook.

How is the world's largest storage system, AWS S3 built? Mai-Lan Tomsen Bukovec, who has been heading up S3 for 13 years (!) S3's scale is something else (tens of millions of hard drives, eleven 9s of durability (!!) and heavy usage of formal methods, amongst others.)

one of the most hilarious* things about america and its preoccupation of being The Most Freedom Country is that it has an unprecedented surveillance network that is trivially available to government that government didn't even have to pay for, it tricked its citizens/residents into buying it

As the shutdown enters day ten, confusion surrounds whether the regime intends to restore service soon, or at all.
