#Seoul repatriates six #DPRK citizens who were stranded while fishing in South Korean territorial waters.

All six had repeatedly expressed their desire to return, Seoul's Unification Ministry said.

Two of the #DPRKoreans had been detained for four months in #SamsungRepublic
after futile attempts to persuade them to stay in the South to bolster Western propaganda.

@Kuenga @meowskiIt could be both. I think the Wikipedia article mentions rubber "sentries," and then there's this description:

@meowski @KuengaI think you're looking for a way to deflect blame or rationalize what Europeans did.

Colonization is rarely possible without some form of compliance, and the French themselves cooperated with Nazis. It's always the case that there's always someone willing to sell out their neighbors for an extra crust of bread. It's also always the case that a region's ethnic groups has pre-existing conflicts.

In case you're wondering like I did: unfortunately a European Arrest Warrant offers too many loopholes to act as a guarantee that genocide-complicit countries would be forced to execute it...

#Spain's top criminal court has initiated legal proceedings against #Netanyahu and several senior military officials for alleged war crimes related to the Israeli navy's assault on a Freedom Flotilla ship bound for #Gaza.

The court is evaluating its jurisdiction to open a full criminal case, seeking cooperation with the #ICC, which has already issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu related to the current conflict in Gaza.

Despite pursuing justice against Israeli leaders, Spain continues defense collaborations with Israel, including a recent agreement with Israeli arms manufacturer #Elbit Systems despite the fact that 82% of Spaniards view Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide, according to a survey by the Elcano Royal Institute.

Someone told me that what the world needs most right now is another podcast, and by the time I figured out that person was being facetious, it was too late.

Announcing the launch of "KOHN'S ZONE: Challenging the Conventional Wisdom About Education and Kids." (Three episodes are available, and new ones will drop every 2 weeks.)
I invite you to listen and to spread the word!

Dear Media,

The story is that he’s a fascist, not that he’s ignorant.

Thank you. frontrange.co/@apnewsbot/11482…

Well exactly. I didn't know until now that the official language of Liberia is English, so I was ignorant of that fact (though I'm not the POTUS, and meeting a fellow world leader in an official capacity.) But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do that condescending racist BS thing of praising the guy's English like it's some kind of shock to me that an African man might speak good English.

something to watch whilst doing stretches.

@Ryan @Mogleg in reality I believe they mostly afraid of Their power. The Western imperialist project. todon.nl/@prolrage/11307593962…


Since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Flood, the main concern of Western governments has been to prevent the defeat of the #Zionist entity both militarily and politically. Yes, the primary concern is economic interests. But beyond that there is the Paradigm. The Western (and also the eastern) #capitalist hegemony does not want an example of poor human beings, oppressed for decades, and subjected to constant humiliation, standing up. If the #Palestinian #Resistance wins, it will mean that we, the oppressed, here in the West, can win too. This is one reason why we see small States (based on imperialist hegemony) taking a protective position for the Zionist entity. If this is defeated, the power of their governments will be challenged the next day. And if the Power of the small State Entities is challenged, it will be the turn of the driving forces of #imperialism.
So if the Palestinian Resistance wins, then we will have an example of how our empires could fall.
Finally it's a great opportunity for the oppressed people around the world to shout: Victory for the Palestinian Resistance!

@villebooks "Europe considers Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories as being illegal. Why then do the 700,000 Israelis residing in such settlements enjoy visa-free access to Europe? If the settlements are illegal (in occupied territories, they are), the residents of those settlements are not living in the State of Israel. Even foreigners who have visa-free access to Israel and the United States are now required to fill out an online form to enter those countries. Why not do the same in Europe for Israelis? And if an Israeli’s place of residence is in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, they should be denied visa-free access to Europe.

Similarly, if goods produced in illegal settlements are illegal products not produced in the State of Israel, why does Europe ask only that they are marked as being produced in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and not prevent their entrance into Europe as illegal contraband?"

Dear US Governors:
Begging Canadians to return as tourists is as insulting and absurd as Russia trying to advertise tourism in Ukraine

✅ Your ambassador insults and gaslights
✅ Your members of Congress send letters of complaint about our wildfire smoke while your US company Exxon is the top investor in our oil and gas ( literal gaslighting!)
✅ Your president breaks his very own Big Beautiful Trade Agreement then adds tariffs and threatens to invade Canada
✅ Your border officers reject our citizens and ICE throws Canadians into encampments rather than send them home.

So, please, please explain why in the world would anyone in their right mind desire to to visit the US and spend money that is taxed and eventually goes to support Trump and ICE !

A Rather Upset Canadian

Israel enforcing Gaza evacuations with grenade-firing drones: The Israeli army is weaponizing Chinese-made drones to police expulsion orders across Gaza, with soldiers saying they deliberately target civilians so others will ‘learn’ not to return ... (+972 Magazine, 2025-07-10)

972mag.com/drones-grenades-gaz…
------

>> According to interviews with seven soldiers and officers who served in the Strip, these drones are operated manually by troops on the ground, and are frequently used to bomb Palestinian civilians — including children — in an effort to force them to leave their homes or prevent them from returning to evacuated areas.

>> Soldiers most commonly use EVO drones, produced by the Chinese company Autel, which are primarily intended for photography ... However, with a military-issued attachment known internally as an “iron ball,” a hand grenade can be affixed to the drone and dropped with the push of a button to detonate on the ground...

Καθίκια της ΕΕ.

Η νέα εξέλιξη ουσιαστικά «παγώνει» κάθε συζήτηση για μέτρα κατά του Ισραήλ στο επερχόμενο Συμβούλιο των ΥΠΕΞ την Τρίτη.

Σύμφωνα με ανάρτηση της Ύπατης Εκπροσώπου της Ε.Ε. για θέματα Εξωτερικής πολιτικής Κάγια Κάλας «αυτή η συμφωνία σημαίνει άνοιγμα περισσότερων σημείων διέλευσης, εισόδους φορτηγών βοήθειας και τροφίμων στη Γάζα, επισκευή ζωτικών υποδομών και προστασία των εργαζομένων στον τομέα της ανθρωπιστικής βοήθειας».

Tα ξημερώματα της Τετάρτης 9/7/2025, η ΕΛΑΣ σε συνεργασία με τις Κτιριακές Υποδομές (ΚΤΥΠ) και τον Δήμο Αθηναίων, εκκένωσαν τον ελεύθερο χώρο του Αυτοδιαχειριζόμενου Κήπου Κάτω Πατησίων, στην Πάτμου και Καραβία 23.
Ο κήπος των 2.1 στρεμμάτων που ξανάνοιξε στη γειτονιά στις 13 Ιουνίου 2025 μετά από 2 χρόνια για να γίνει ένας ανοιχτός κοινωνικός χώρος και ένα δημιουργικό εργαστήρι αυτοδιαχείρισης, οριζοντιότητας και κοινωνικής αλληλεγγύης στα Κάτω Πατήσια, σήμερα έκλεισε από την αστυνομία, την ΚΤΥΠ και τον Δήμο Αθηναίων ώστε να επιστρέψει στην πρότερη κατάσταση του.
Στόχος τους είναι να ρημάξει ώστε κάποια στιγμή να «γκρεμιστεί», να αποχαρακτηριστεί, να το μπαζώσουν και να το τσιμεντοποιήσουν. Η Δημοτική Αρχή του Χάρη Δούκα σε συνέχεια της παρακαταθήκης του Κώστα Μπακογιάννη επιτίθεται και εκκενώνει απελευθερωμένους χώρους που μάχονται για περισσότερο πράσινο και λιγότερο τσιμέντο.
Σε ΚΤΥΠ, Δήμο, Χρυσοχοϊδη και εργολάβους, ένα πράγμα έχουμε να πούμε: ΔΕΝ ΦΕΥΓΟΥΜΕ ΑΠΟ ΤΗ ΓΕΙΤΟΝΙΑ, ΕΣΕΙΣ ΔΕΝ ΧΩΡΑΤΕ ΕΔΩ.

After the politicization of the courts, made obvious by several years of potato judicial results, pleading the fifth is just something you do; because the star chamber will find something, if it deigns to do so, and you can't sue for cruel and unusual until after you suffer it.

I don't think most people see that has happened and accordingly can't process the consequences.

I'm really happy that the EU is moving further and further away from the US, they have ALWAYS been an unreliable and aggressive partner. My hope is that after the current administration over there ends they won't forget that the problem was never Trump, it's the unfathomable grip of the United States on all the world. Haven't watched you in a while, good to see you're still at it.
