I just watched this discussion between Natasha Hausdorf and UK Labour representatives - now it makes sense.
That evil bitch who keeps asking all those retarded questions is Emily Thornberry, a top level member of the Labour party.

She is an extreme Marxist. Among others, she is all in on the trans BS. She claimed that it is "factually inaccurate to say only women have cervices". Uhm, no, that's 100% guaranteed! Maybe not all women have a cervix due to a genetic or developmental defect or losing it due to illness or accident - but no biological man has a cervix. "Trans women" are men.

So it is not surprising that the exact same insane person should be antisemitic.

Most people don't know that Marx & Engels were extremely antisemitic at a very personal level. Read their letters where they don't hold back and you'll find that especially Marx expresses extreme and personal hatred against Jewish people. And that's despite the fact that his parents were Jews who converted to Protestantism. When his mother didn't send him as much money as he had asked for, he would refer to her as "the Jewess". He claimed that "all Jews are inherently capitalists" (as if that were a bad thing), thus perpetuating the ridiculous narrative that all Jews have to be one thing or another.

Antisemites then switched that claim to "all Jews are communists", as Marx, the Protestant / Satanist Jew hater, was somehow "working to spread Judaism". In their fantasy world, Lenin, who maybe had a Jewish grandfather, becomes Jewish. As does Stalin, the Georgian man who wanted to become an Orthodox priest...Mao? He didn't act on his own, oh no, he had "Jewish advisers" who were responsible for Mao's genocides.

Note that Jewish Marxists are always antizionists, if not outright antisemitic and they very often side with Hamas.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
  • Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
  • Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
  • Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
  • Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
  • Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
  • Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
  • Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
  • Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
  • Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
  • Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
  • Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
  • Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
  • Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
  • Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
  • Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
  • Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
  • Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
  • Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
  • Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
  • Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
  • Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
  • Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
  • Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.

App v1 is out! | JoinPeerTube

cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/29207242

PeerTube is a decentralized and federated alternative to YouTube. The goal of PeerTube is not to replace YouTube but to offer a viable alternative using the strength of ActivityPub and P2P protocols.

Being built on ActivityPub means PeerTube is able to be part of a bigger social network, the Fediverse (the Federated Universe). On the other hand, P2P technologies help PeerTube to solve the issue of money, inbound with all streaming platform : With PeerTube, you don't need to have a lot of bandwidth available on your server to host a PeerTube platform because all users (which didn't disable the feature) watching a video on PeerTube will be able to share this same video to other viewers.

If you are curious about PeerTube, we can't recommend you enough to check the official website to learn more about the project. If after that you want to try to use PeerTube as a content creator, you can try to find a platform available there to register or host yourself your own PeerTube platform on your own server.

The development of PeerTube is actually sponsored by Framasoft, a french non-for-profit popular educational organization, a group of friends convinced that an emancipating digital world is possible, convinced that it will arise through actual actions on real world and online with and for you!

Stalin: In the United States of America, in Britain, as also in France, there are aggressive forces thirsting for a new war. They need war to obtain super-profits, to plunder other countries. They are billionaires and millionaires who regard war as a lucrative item yielding colossal profits. They, these aggressive forces, hold reactionary governments in their hands and direct them. But they are at the same time afraid of their peoples, who do not want a new war and stand for the preservation of peace. Therefore they try to use reactionary governments in order to entangle their peoples with lies, to deceive them and to portray the new war as defensive and the peaceful policy of the peace-loving countries as aggressive. They are trying to deceive their peoples in order to impose their aggressive plans on them and to draw them into a new war... Peace will be preserved and consolidated if the peoples take the cause of peace into their own hands and defend it to the end. War may become inevitable if the warmongers succeed in entangling the masses of the people in lies, in deceiving them and drawing them into a new world war. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Risk Management: Blocking Fraud and Conflicts of Interest


 Operating a business means navigating risks. While some, like economic changes, are expected, others, like fraud or conflicts of interest, can strike unexpectedly, damaging trust, finances, or stability.

Operating a business means navigating risks. While some, like economic changes, are expected, others, like fraud or conflicts of interest, can strike unexpectedly, damaging trust, finances, or stability. Secretarial services and company secretaries are critical in preventing these issues. Let’s dive into their role.

Why Risk Management Is Crucial


Risk management is about spotting and stopping problems before they grow. Fraud—think manipulated records or external scams—and conflicts of interest, where personal interests clash with company duties, are major threats. For example, an employee might approve a contract that benefits a relative.

These risks can lead to lawsuits, lost credibility, or financial damage. A company secretary provides the expertise to manage them.

The Company Secretary: Your Governance Shield


A company secretary goes beyond paperwork. They’re a linchpin of compliance, transparency, and ethics. Their risk management contributions include:

  • Organized Records: Clear documentation of actions and finances helps detect fraud early.
  • Compliance Oversight: They enforce laws and company rules, reducing risky behavior.
  • Decision Reviews: They flag potential conflicts or suspicious patterns before decisions are finalized.

A forward-thinking company secretary keeps risks in check.

Secretarial Services vs. Fraud


Fraud often lurks in small details—a fake expense or a ghost supplier. Secretarial services fight it with:

  • Frequent Audits: Regular financial reviews catch errors or suspicious activity.
  • Access Controls: Limiting who can handle funds or systems shrinks fraud’s window.
  • Staff Education: Training employees to spot fraud tactics, like fake emails, boosts vigilance.
  • Thorough Records: Documenting every transaction ensures a trail for accountability.

Secretarial services make fraud harder to hide.

Managing Conflicts of Interest


Conflicts of interest, like a manager favoring a friend’s firm without disclosure, can undermine trust. A company secretary tackles them by:

  • Spotting Issues: Asking questions to uncover hidden ties.
  • Mandating Disclosure: Ensuring conflicts are openly reported.
  • Upholding Rules: Barring biased parties from influencing decisions.

Their neutrality safeguards the company’s integrity.

Real-Life Impact


See how secretarial services and company secretaries deliver:

Case Study 1: The Fake Invoice


A company noticed odd payments. The company secretary traced them to a fictitious vendor, halting the fraud and strengthening processes.

Case Study 2: The Hidden Partner


A board member pushed a supplier they co-owned. The company secretary caught it, ensuring recusal and a fair process.

These examples highlight the power of oversight.

Tips for Using Secretarial Services


To maximize secretarial services:

  • Choose Wisely: Hire a company secretary skilled in compliance and risk.
  • Set Clear Roles: Define their tasks, from audits to conflict monitoring.
  • Encourage Candor: Create a culture where they can flag issues freely.
  • Stay Current: Update risk strategies with their expertise.

Collaboration is key to managing risks.

Final Takeaway: Stay Vigilant


Fraud and conflicts of interest are persistent challenges, but company secretarial services and company secretaries are your partners in tackling them. Their expertise strengthens your business, often behind the scenes. Embracing these services isn’t just about dodging trouble—it’s about fostering a more ethical, resilient company.

Start leveraging secretarial services today.

« Les chars de Gédéon »... Un nouveau nom biblique pour une nouvelle opération militaire !

Qu'en a dit le correspondant militaire de Maariv ?

Avi Ashkenazi a écrit ce matin :

La guerre qui a débuté le 7 octobre 2023 bat chaque jour de nouveaux records, de sa durée à l'ampleur des forces nécessaires à l'effort de guerre. Et maintenant, un nouveau record est tombé : le nombre de noms donnés aux guerres et aux opérations : la Guerre des Sept Fronts, la Guerre de la Résurrection, la Guerre des Épées de Fer, la Guerre d'Octobre, l'Opération Flèche du Nord, l'Opération Bâtard et Épée, et hier, nous avons reçu un nouveau nom : l'Opération Chariots de Gédéon. À en juger par le nombre de noms, nous aurions dû gagner cette bataille sans fin depuis longtemps. Avec ce nouveau nom, les objectifs fixés par le cabinet restent les mêmes : (la maîtrise décisive du Hamas à Gaza et la libération de tous les otages).

Et à propos du résultat, il a dit :

Il n'existe en réalité aucun consensus politique quant aux résultats souhaités. Les forces armées n'ont pas de plan clair quant à ce qui leur est réellement demandé. Ce qui existe : des slogans creux, porteurs de la vision messianique de ministres extrémistes au sein du gouvernement, qui tentent d'imposer leur doctrine (le Grand Israël) à Israël. (Je termine).

C'est leur histoire... menée par un groupe extrémiste fou pour commettre des erreurs, jusqu'à atteindre la fin... la fin pour laquelle le « déluge » a donné le coup d'envoi.

Colombia: FARC Dissidents Between Fighting and Negotiations


Six soldiers were killed and another missing after an attack last Sunday by the FARC splinter group, the EMBF (General Staff of FARC Blocs and Fronts). This guerrilla group, led by Alexander Diaz, alias “Calarca,” claimed responsibility for the attack and produced a video showing guerrillas treating five captured soldiers after the attack in Guaviare province. The EMBF added that it acted in self-defense and was under constant attack from the army, despite ongoing peace negotiations with the government of President Gustavo Petro. The EMBF is a split from the largest FARC dissident organization, the EMC (Central Staff of the FARC). The disagreement centered on peace talks, including a ceasefire with the security forces.

For their part, commanders of the EMBF’s 33rd Catatumbo Front have agreed to concentrate their guerrillas in northeastern Colombia as part of peace negotiations with the government. The agreement to concentrate these fighters in a Temporary Regroupment Zone (ZRT) outside the town of Tibu was made public by President Gustavo Petro yesterday, Saturday. Once established, the ZRT will be protected by security forces, and the institutions will participate in the agreed territorial transformations. Residents of the Catatumbo region will also participate in the peace process, according to the agreement. Talks with the EMBF guerrillas in Catatumbo have apparently accelerated following the ELN offensive launched against them since January.

There's a difference between knowing my baker is a nazi and being unaware of it. It's morally wrong to be knowingly supporting a nazi, whether it's by buying their product or by donating to them directly doesn't matter.

It's true that bread stays bread regardless of the baker's political stance. But it's not like the nazi baker is the only one in town. Just get your bread from a different baker. Bread is bread. The point of alternatives is that you can pick your source, whom you want to support. And that's what OP is suggesting.

knowingly supporting a nazi


First, criteria for what one considers a nazi are open to interpretation and nowadays the bar is ridiculously low. We have a bicycle kitchen cooperative in Croatia where almost all of us volunteers hold leftist views, but there's an occasional boomer known to say problematic stuff as a shitty joke, or a grandma shows up with her son's bicycle that has one of the many Croatian totenkopf variants which the kid put up using same protocol as Marge with a potato. We never refuse to help them. I also engaged some of them in conversation and when you get down to the bottom of their exclusionary views you often find they're decent people with good moral compass and the stupid jokes or totenkopf stickers are adopted wholesale through the media or because of a personal tragedy.

Just get your bread from a different baker.


Sure, the free market will fix it, very American thinking. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. Croatia is a good example because our fight for independence in the 90s saw the attempted rehabilitation of actual nazis from the 40s as freedom fighters and Croatian patriots, which means that (still, nowadays) whenever boomers have a celebration with alcohol, there'll be some singing about the superlative exploits of actual nazis. It's just the way our society currently is, it's still our society. The only way to change that is to engage with them and show them you hold a different opinion and are still a relatable human being. I have a feeling most lemmy users would just cancel their entire family if they were Croatian.

do you really need to start fights with people that are striving for the same goal, just because you have differing opinions on other things? do you think that different political parties should never work together?

The idea there should be some definitive, canonical domain for the Fediverse is somewhat at odds with the core tenents of the Fediverse itself - decentralisation, and no single point of ownership or control. And on that basis, we absolutely should not care about a particular domain, or assign any level of 'specialness' to it.

I understand your worry - that some 'bad actor' could buy the domain and do something anti-Fediverse with it and mislead the public, but my response would be to simply not worry. The strength of the Fediverse is that we are diverse and unbothered by whatever nonsense some centralised platform is trying to pull. We don't have a profit motive. We don't care.

People who want to find the real Fediverse will absolutely still find us, all on their own, regardless of who owns some random domain 😀

Can turn it off with a little switch in the back which it's mostly off. No issue on power up. Quicker than my dells honestly

I realize this is the dumbest setup but it works 🤷

Maxim Gorky: Why, for whose sake was the extermination of working people by working people required? For the sake of the score or so thousand of very wealthy and utterly irresponsible people who “rule the world,” that is, who live on the labour of others, on the blood of others, and who infect the working people with the diseases of greed, envy and enmity, as lice infect with typhus. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.

  • Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
  • Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
  • Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
  • Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.
