Australian Police Assault Green Party Candidate Hannah Thomas During Pro-Palestine Protest

Hannah Thomas, a lawyer and recent Green Party candidate who ran against Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the federal seat of Grayndler, has reportedly been violently assaulted by Australian police during a protest.
The demonstration took place outside a company accused by protesters of cooperating with #Israel. According to reports, #Thomas sustained serious injuries to one of her eyes during her arrest and was rushed to hospital. Doctors fear she may lose her vision as a result.

#Norway is becoming an authoritarian country. Our government, the US government, and the CIA-cutout National Endowment for Democracy ( #NED) finance "non-governmental organisations" (NGOs) such as the Norwegian Helsinki Committee to smear, intimidate, censor, and cancel dissent.

There is plenty of literature on how governments finance "NGOs" to hijack civil society and use human rights to promote regime change and wars. Besides leaving a trail of disasters behind them abroad, they also punish dissent at home.

I have been at the receiving end of endless articles and weekly smears online from this so-called human rights "NGO" for more than four years, which continues to go after my university even after I had to withdraw from all national media. Their other activities include cancelling my speaking events and doxxing me.

Now, this "NGO" is being banned in Russia, and they blame me for it. Why? Twenty professors and academics signed a letter criticizing this "NGO" for harassing me, and now the "NGO" speculates that it attracted the attention of the FSB. This is the actual story they are going with, but it is good enough for the people we generously refer to as journalists.

A few weeks ago, a journalist applied and was granted full access to all my documents at the university, which includes everything from the job application to my professorship promotion application. Why? To go through everything and look for anything that can be presented as academic dishonesty. This is how you get academics fired.

The useful idiots of this "NGO" even produced an absurd Wikipedia profile on me, where my occupation was not "Professor" but "Russian propagandist." Returning to my home country after 20 years abroad was truly the greatest mistake of my life. I do not recognize this country anymore, and I wear the absurd personal attacks by these government-financed trolls as a badge of honour. Absolutely pathetic and unworthy of an open society

Frau #VonderLeyen annonce (ici en Französisch) la création d’un bunker panoptique assurant la #surveillance de l’ #information pour lutter contre les "manipulations", les "ingérences étrangères", et l’application de "sanctions".
ACHTUNG!
Il n’y a qu’UNE seule et UNIQUE information diffusée par Big Sister et Big Brother, et ce bunker y veillera partout où une liberté de pensée et d’opinion ose s’exercer, notamment dans les #médias alternatifs et sur les horribles réseaux sociaux.
Si #UVdL n’est pas une petite-fille de nazi (ce serait une fake new) en matière de #censure et de "paquets de #sanctions", elle ne laisse pas sa part à l’infâme #Mertz. Pas seulement contre la #Russie envers laquelle elle a une haine totale (la raclée infligée par l’Armée Rouge à Hitler reste en travers de la gorge de certains Allemands), mais aussi contre tous les citoyens européens qu’elle compte bien mener à la badine cloutée.
Et vu les claques qu’elle ramasse sur X à chacune de ses apparitions, elle veillera à ce que la Gedankenpolizei soit particulièrement inflexible sur le réseau social de ce libertaire de Musk.

Nobody Asked You

It’s amusing that the little sock puppet serving as the figurehead for the Kiev regime actually thinks his opinion matters.

#Ukraine must be involved in any #negotiations for a peace deal with #Russia, President #VolodymyrZelensky insisted on Sunday. The Ukrainian leader says that he won’t accept any deals made between U.S. President #DonaldTrump and Russian President #VladimirPutin if he and his team are not also invited to the table.

‘I will never accept any decisions between the #UnitedStates and #Russia about Ukraine – never,’ Zelesnky told NBC Meet the Press host Kristen Welker. ‘And our people, never. And our adults, and children, and everybody, it can’t be so.’

Nobody asked him and nobody cares. Not only can it be so, it will be so. There are precisely two choices:
1. The USA negotiates a peace settlement with Russia.
2. Russia dictates an unconditional surrender.

That’s it. That’s the entire list. And it was obvious from the very start back in February 2022. Notice that nowhere on it appears anything about #Zelensky, the #Kiev #regime, the #UN, the #TerranConfederation, #Starfleet, or the #EuropeanUnion. All of those entities are #irrelevant to the outcome.

Gamified #life

source: aeon.co/essays/how-employers-h…

The modern gamified #workplace enables #control beyond Taylor’s wildest dreams. #Games are sets of #rules prescribing both actions and outcomes. A gamified workplace sets not just goals for #workers but precisely how those goals can be achieved. Managers don’t need to follow workers with stopwatches. They can use smartphones or apps. It’s #micromanagement with unprecedented granularity.

...

While this whip was cracking, the workers sped up. ‘We saw a higher incidence of injuries,’ Topete said. ‘Several people were injured on the #job.’ The formerly collegial environment degenerated into a #race. The laundry workers competed with each other, and got upset when coworkers couldn’t keep up. People started skipping bathroom breaks. Pregnant workers fell behind. ‘The #scoreboard incentivises competition,’ said Topete. ‘Our human competitiveness, whatever makes us like games, whatever keeps us wanting to win, it’s a similar thing that was happening. Even if you didn’t want to.’

From scoreboards to trackers, games have infiltrated work, serving as spies, overseers and agents of social control
