Amnesty International condemns US sanctions against Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory
The #US government is accused of undermining international law and protecting #Israel from accountability at the expense of #Palestinian rights. The statement calls on other governments to reject the sanctions and support Albanese's work, characterizing them as an attack on the principles of international justice .

What will it take for the world to dismiss the atrocities in Gaza? The USA and Israel's strategy is censorship, tariffs, and boycotts.

Why is there so much bloodshed?
Well, here's one very clear reason:
From 2020 to 2024, private weapons manufacturers got $2.4 trillion in Pentagon contracts, roughly 54% of its discretionary budget
During those 5 years, the U.S. government invested over twice as much money in five weapons companies as in diplomacy and international assistance. $771 billion went to just 5 firms: Lockheed Martin ($313 billion), RTX (formerly Raytheon, $145 billion), Boeing ($115 billion), General Dynamics ($116 billion), and Northrop Grumman ($81 billion). The total diplomacy, development, and humanitarian aid budget, excluding military aid, was $356 billion.

Large Language Models have made the relationship between software efficiency and environmentalism click for many people in the technology field. The cost of computing matters.brokenco.de
🎵 Everything counts in large amounts🎵 ーDepeche Mode, "Everything Counts"
When I was young, and naive, I thought that the end goal was to take "bloated" code (even if it were some binary generated by a ghastly [to me at the time, horrifically inefficient boiler plate code visible from a simple hex editor] C compiler) and hand optimize it, I don't think I was alone.
In more recent years, the XlogicX blog "Assembly is too high level" (e.g. xlogicx.net/Assembly_Is_Too_Hi…) gave me hope that perhaps some kept that goal alive!
The demo scene and "code golf" and "size coding" certainly still seem to care.
I attended the 20th anniversary of REcon last month and I am not sure if I met many birds of a feather who shared similar sentiments? At least one I think. That one was well worth the trip if nothing else.
Alas, it seems in 2025, there are far too few of us low level optimize minded sorts left, relative to all the slop being generated, "at scale".
The depressing reality is, SO MUCH good would come of simply re-writing egregiously inefficient interpreted language programs implemented in Python or Ruby or Perl etc. in something such as C, I don't even know where to begin.
Here's just one example, which took some janky Python OpenAI speech to text (which seemed to completely ignore prior art such as julius) that required GPUs and re-implemented it in not even the most elegant or most portable C, but still significantly better than the Python jank: github.com/ggml-org/whisper.cp…
Voila! No more GPUs required! Lamentably, still uses the training models that were probably created completely unethically (unlike the prior art of julius). But still, take the wins where you can get them?
In the article you linked, "In my day job we operate a number of web properties receiving billions of requests per month"
I guess that's a good starting point to consider efficiencies?
I am old enough that 1MHz CPUs were still considered luxuries that I needed to access at labs, not something I had at home. I had been coding for years, before my parents eventually got what was an IMHO insanely overpriced and shitty microcomputer and worse: wasteful with its 7MHz 16bit CPU, running an obscenely bad OS that couldn't even task swap, let alone multi-task.
To quote someone from another blog comment about 1980s DSP designs: "One day I, as a fresh college grad, expressed my amazement at the mathematical processing power of those DSPs, which was impressive back in 1989. His response? 'That just means you can make 20 million mistakes per second.'"
Still, it used to be a prerequisite for some, to have considered the perils of MFLOPs levels of bugs, before they were granted much in the way of a system with an uplink capable of "srs" bandwidth (SGI workstations for example, had 10Gigabit interconnects, in the 1990s; while most home users with modems were still struggling to contend with a reliable 56K connection. My first college as an undergrad had a 56K uplink for their entire campus, and my personal modem could devour approximately one quarter of that bandwidth!).
By around 2013 I helped with a patch a bug in BIND (CVE-2013-4854) that was being actively exploited. It's estimated that there are around a billion DNS packets on the Internet, an hour.
I've known folks who have patched bugs in TCP/IP stacks, so I am not at their levels, yet. Maybe someday? Doesn't feel like it, but you never know. Bugs are friggin everywhere.
Regardless, improving the low hanging fruit where and whenever possible, is a win! Rust isn't my first choice, but there are way worse choices in 2025; unfortunately, some of those worse choices are much more popular.
It is with some chagrin that in recent years, most of my code "contributions" openly, have been to a system implemented in TCL; which is so much slower than even Python and Ruby and Perl (let's say, conservatively, those three languages are on average around 60x slower than C; TCL? On average: 200x slower! Meanwhile, in the 1980s I was already optimizing asm and machine code on systems with nanosecond level timing considerations; contrast that with golang's "halt the world" best in class garbage collector which was measured in milliseconds last I checked? Many don't even seem to pay attention to such orders of magnitude of inefficiencies intrinsic to their language choices! To me, that is unconscionable.). I seem to be at the opposite end of where I once was in some regards, yet the impact to potential users is not insignificant; which is why I keep contributing to such things despite the inefficient implementation choices.
I still think refactoring/rewriting/re-implementing in lower level more efficient languages would be a huge win in terms of efficiency, and worthwhile. But maybe some of that can be automated to a degree?
It's dumbfounding to me that in the 21st century there are still so many companies that rely on what I would consider "time sharing" paradigms and pay for compute and bandwidth in ways that would have been obscenely expensive to the point of having bankrupted some past employers if they were not smarter about self hosting hardware and IXPs and peering (instead of relying on things such as AWS as alluded to in that writing or GCP or Azure and other, as bad, yet popular, alternatives in a day and age where economical libre/free open source hardware with CPUs measured in GHz exist in plurality and RAM in ranges of 8GB or more are being sold for mere hundreds of dollars, if that.).
But I guess, because it is profitable and easy for some to rely on centralized systems, rather than cultivate their own in house expertise? Such avarice and inefficiencies will continue to persist until more wise up?
Similarly, I am guessing it was very strategic that Micro$oft hired Guido van Rossum. It's not that Python is good. However, from a sophomoric perspective, there are a lot of fools, writing a lot of Python and a mint is being made to the detriment of the planet and all living beings who are cursed to be alive right now on it, in the process.

Donald #Trump a trois petits-enfants juifs, qui ont grandi dans des milieux rabbiniques orthodoxes.
Sa fille Ivanka Trump s'est convertie au judaïsme pour épouser Jared #Kushner, un entrepreneur juif sioniste, membre actif du Chabad #Lubavitch, étroitement lié à #Netanyahu, #Israël et le #Mossad.
Beaucoup le voient comme l'anti-système, mais la vérité est différente.
Trump a été sauvé deux fois de l'effondrement financier :
- 1984 : Sa détention coule et il est sauvé par des banques juives liées au Rockefeller (via Chase Manhattan).
- 1996 : casinos et propriétés d'Atlantic City s'effondrent, sauvés par des investisseurs juifs liés à Goldman Sachs et à l'environnement israélien.
Pendant sa présidence :
- Déplacer l'ambassade américaine à Jérusalem (2018) Reconnaissance totale de la domination israélienne.
- Signez les accords d'Abraham : Normalisation avec les pays arabes sous domination sioniste, fonds milliardaires à Israël même pendant la crise économique aux #États-Unis, protection totale du Mossad dans les opérations en #Syrie, #Iran, #Palestine.
- En 2016, Trump Tower a accueilli une réunion avec des spécialistes israéliens de PsyGroup pour la manipulation de l'électorat : un logiciel dérivé de #CambridgeAnalytica avec le soutien des renseignements israéliens.
Chabad Lubavitch n'est pas seulement une secte religieuse, c'est le lien caché entre le pouvoir spirituel, l'argent et la géopolitique.
Jared Kushner, Ivanka et les trois petits-enfants sont liés à ce monde.
Un monde qui rêve du troisième temple à #Jérusalem, centre du nouvel ordre mondial théocratique.
Trump n'est pas l'ennemi de l'élite, c'est le majordome de l'élite.
Il a été acheté, lié, lié et protégé par ceux qui font semblant de combattre le système aujourd'hui.
Le peuple applaudit, mais il ne voit pas les chaînes.
Son vrai dieu n'est pas le peuple américain.
Son trône est à Jérusalem.
Quand le système vous sauve, il vous possède.
Ce n'est plus une dette : c'est du chantage.

Remarques Après cette revue assez édifiante de « l’estime » portée aux palestiniens et des intentions des dirigeants sionistes de tous bords, mise à part Ahad HaKI'am , nous voudrions bien conclure par cette politique du « transfert » que les dirigeants israéliens ont systématiquement pratiquée depuis la création d’Israël en citant Josef Weitz, un de grands théoriciens du « transfert ». Ce "Monsieur" qui en 1967, alors qu’il était très âgé rêvait de réaliser son projet, mais que Golda Meir a écarté parce que, après la campagne de propagande menée par Israël ,avant la guerre des six jours. De ce fait une colonisation trop précipitée aurait fait « tâche ». « Entre nous, il doit être bien clair qu’il n’y a pas de place pour deux peuples dans ce petit pays. Si les Arabes s’en vont, il sera libre et ouvert pour nous. Si les Arabes restent, le pays restera étriqué et misérable. Quand la guerre sera finie et que les Anglais l’auront, quand les juges siégeront sur le trône de la Loi, notre peuple doit présenter ses besoins et ses droits, et la seule solution est la Terre d’Israël, ou au moins la partie occidentale de la Terre d’Israël (c’est à dire la Palestine) sans les Arabes. Il n’y a pas de compromis possible sur ce point. Jusqu’ici l’entreprise sioniste a fait du bon travail en préparant la création de l’Etat hébreu. Jusqu’ici on pouvait se contenter « d’acquérir » des terres, mais ce n’est pas cela qui fondera l’Etat d’Israël. Cela doit se faire d’un seul coup comme la Rédemption.(c’est le secret de l’idée messianique) Et il n’y a pas d’autre moyen que de transférer les Arabes d’ici vers les pays voisins…….. » (décembre #1940)
D’où cette question à tous les « militants pour la paix » qui n’a jamais trouvé de réponse :
Comment a-t-il pu se faire que les dirigeants palestiniens, Arafat en tête, ainsi que tous ceux qui militent pour la paix et la réconciliation des deux peuples, n’aient pas suivis les lucides conseil de Ben Gourion ? «Si j'étais un leader arabe, je ne signerais jamais un accord avec Israël. C'est normal; nous avons pris leur pays. Il est vrai que Dieu nous l'a promis, mais comment cela pourrait-il les concerner? Notre Dieu n'est pas le leur. Il y a eu l'antisémitisme, les Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, mais était-ce leur faute? Ils ne voient qu'une seule chose: nous sommes venus et nous avons volé leur pays. Pourquoi devraient-ils accepter cela?» David #BenGourion, cité par Nahum Goldmann dans «Le Paradoxe Juif», p. 121.

C. #Johnstone
The #US has imposed sanctions on #UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca #Albanese for using her position to oppose the most thoroughly documented #genocide in #history.
At the same time, the US has removed #Syria’s Al Qaeda franchise #HTS from its list of designated terrorist organizations, because its leader successfully carried out the regime change in Damascus that the western empire had been chasing for years.
At the same time, the #UK has added nonviolent anti-genocide activism group #PalestineAction to its list of banned terrorist organizations for opposing the #Gaza holocaust.
At the same time, the Israeli prime minister who is carrying out that holocaust has nominated the American president who is helping him perpetrate genocidal atrocities for a Nobel Peace Prize.
At the same time, Israel has continued its ban on foreign journalists entering Gaza, while also arresting the Israeli journalist who helped expose the #IDF officials who cooked up fake atrocity propaganda about burnt babies on# October7.
At the same time, the #Trump administration has enraged its MAGA base by concluding that Jeffrey #Epstein had no client list for any kind of sexual blackmail operation and definitely committed suicide.
The western empire is one nonstop insult to our intelligence. The peace advocates are terrorists, the genocide architects deserve peace prizes, the journalists are dangerous, and Epstein was just a wealthy socialite who made a few mistakes.
They do everything they can to make us stupid via #propaganda, Silicon Valley information control, and indoctrination schooling systems, and then they treat us like we’re morons for the rest of our lives.
The empire depends on ignorance. The more stupid, racist, gullible, and easily distracted we become, the nastier agendas the empire can roll out. Now here we are watching a live-streamed genocide unfold right in front of our eyes for nearly two years while being tube fed a daily diet of the most ridiculous lies imaginable.
As Aaron Bushnell said, this is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.
