Greek Court Sentences Turkish Activist to 74 Years in Prison


Barış Erhan is an activist who has long been involved in the struggles of the revolutionary left in Turkey. Because of his activities against Erdoğan’s fascist regime, he has been investigated and prosecuted. He suffered social and political repression and was forced to seek asylum in Europe. While trying to reach Greece by boat with many other people, he was arrested and accused of being a migrant smuggler.

After spending more than a year in prison, he was sentenced in June 2025 to 74 years in prison as the documents and testimonies presented by Barış and his friends, proving that he was not a smuggler, were ignored by the Greek court. Today, an international campaign is calling for his release and for a rally on the first Saturday of every month in front of the official representations of the Greek state in the various European countries (see here).

Hood River, OR: Arson Against Drone Manufacturer, Boeing Subsidiary


In the early morning hours of July 23rd, an Insitu van was set ablaze while it sat in an empty lot across from their office in Hood River, OR. This fire was set, because the growth of the national security state poses an existential threat to all those who dream of free world. We act in total antagonism against those who enable and profit from militarism, policing and surveillance.

Insitu, a fully owned subsidiary of Boeing, develops and manufactures drone technology for military and law enforcement use. The Boeing Insitu RQ-21 Blackjack and MQ-27 ScanEagle surveillance drones have been integrated into weapons systems operated by the US Navy and Marine Corp. ScanEagle UAV’s are actively being utilized by the Saudi-led coalition forces as part of their ongoing military intervention in the Yemeni civil war.

In 2023 the Customs and Border Protection agency began conducting technology evaluations of the Blackjack and ScanEagle drones for surveillance purposes at the US-Mexico border. In 2011 Insitu introduced the Inceptor, a small unmanned helicopter designed to fit in the trunk of cop cars. This further demonstrates that technology developed for military interventions abroad will always be reconstituted for domestic counter insurgency and repression through policing and border enforcement.

As Israel continues its genocidal war against the people of Gaza, we will not forget that Boeing is among the largest manufacturers of munitions and military equipment to the IDF, including F-15 Fighter Jets and Apache Attack Helicopters. Boeing is supplying Israel with the weapons and technology that make this genocide possible. We did this action as a modest gesture of solidarity with ongoing Palestinian resistance to colonialism and apartheid — from within and outside the occupied territories — from the river to the sea

For those who burn

Peter #Brabeck, ancien PDG de #Nestlé, démissionne du #WEF en protestation contre le blanchiment de #Schwab: «Je ne pouvais pas cautionner ce compromis»
Le WEF a disculpé son fondateur Klaus Schwab de toutes les accusations. Le président du conseil de fondation Peter Brabeck-Letmathe n’a pas voulu accepter cet accord – et a démissionné en signe de protestation.
Guido Schätti, Thomas Schlittler
16.08.2025, « NZZ am Sonntag »

Lundi 11 août, le conseil de fondation du World Economic Forum se réunit pour la séance qui doit décider du sort du fondateur Klaus Schwab. Irrégularités financières, manipulation d’études et allusions sexuelles : telles sont les accusations portées contre Schwab par des lanceurs d’alerte anonymes peu avant Pâques.
Le cabinet Homburger a enquêté sur ces accusations pendant des mois. Le rapport est maintenant disponible.
Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, l’homme fort du WEF depuis la démission forcée de Schwab, a invité le fondateur à la réunion. Schwab dispose de 20 minutes pour s’exprimer devant le conseil de fondation assemblé – et pose ses conditions pour un accord : Schwab est prêt à quitter le terrain, il renonce même au titre de président d’honneur. En échange, il exige cependant d’être complètement disculpé et réhabilité des accusations.
Blanchiment complet
Schwab l’emporte. Vendredi, lui et le conseil de fondation règlent officiellement leur différend. L’enquête n’a révélé aucune preuve d’« inconduite substantielle » de Klaus Schwab, selon le communiqué du conseil de fondation.
L’épouse Hilde Schwab est également disculpée des accusations d’abus de frais. Les petites irrégularités constatées seraient plutôt l’expression d’un "grand engagement" que d’une inconduite intentionnelle. Le conseil de fondation regrette que le couple Schwab ait été soumis à une pression intolérable par l’attention publique.
Frappant : le conseil de fondation n’aborde pas l’accusation de manipulation du classement annuel des pays du WEF – le Global Competitiveness Report. Schwab se serait opposé pour des raisons politiques à une rétrogradation de l’Inde. Il se serait aussi opposé à un meilleur classement de la Grande-Bretagne après le Brexit.
Un autre détail du communiqué ne cadre pas avec le blanchiment de Schwab : le WEF s’excuse auprès des employés qui n’ont pas été traités « à leur satisfaction » dans le passé. Dans un passé où Klaus Schwab régnait pratiquement en monarque absolu au WEF.

Conséquences tirées
Le camp Schwab présente la réhabilitation par le conseil de fondation comme une conséquence purement factuelle du rapport Homburger. Tous les soupçons se seraient évaporés lors de l’examen.
D’autres sources contredisent cependant cette présentation. Les concessions auraient été nécessaires pour trouver un accord avec Schwab. Le blanchiment aurait été la condition préalable pour sortir l’organisation de sa paralysie et engager les réformes urgentes.
Seul un homme s’est opposé à cet accord : le président intérimaire du conseil de fondation Peter Brabeck-Letmathe. Quand il a constaté que cela aboutirait à un blanchiment complet de Schwab, il a remis sa démission mardi.
« Je ne voulais pas être celui qui guiderait le conseil à travers cette phase », dit Brabeck-Letmathe dans un entretien avec la « NZZ am Sonntag ». Avec la direction du WEF depuis le départ de Schwab et l’assurance que les accusations seraient examinées dans un rapport indépendant, il avait accompli sa mission.
Pour un accord avec Schwab, il ne serait pas le bon homme, poursuit l’ancien patron de Nestlé : « Certains compromis ne sont pas compatibles avec mes valeurs et mon sens de l’intégrité. »
Brabeck-Letmathe ne veut pas entrer dans les détails des exigences concrètes de Schwab et des concessions du conseil de fondation. Il souligne cependant que sa démission a été volontaire et sans pression du conseil de fondation. D’autres cercles proches du WEF confirment cette version.

La rupture entre Schwab et Brabeck
La rupture entre les deux personnalités alpha s’est produite à Pâques 2025, quand le conseil de fondation a confié à Homburger l’enquête sur les accusations contre la volonté de Schwab. « C’était la première fois que je m’opposais à Klaus Schwab », dit Brabeck-Letmathe.
La conséquence fut une bataille acharnée. Schwab a poursuivi le comité de gouvernance du WEF pour diffamation et contrainte. Dans la plainte, il aurait nommément cité Brabeck, selon le « Wall Street Journal ». Inversement, des passages du rapport Homburger qui incriminaient Schwab ont été divulgués au public par indiscrétion.
Brabeck-Letmathe ne se considère pas comme le perdant de cette lutte de pouvoir. Il est soulagé que tout soit maintenant terminé : « Ces derniers mois, l’atmosphère était toxique. Je suis content d’avoir retrouvé ma liberté. »
Klaus Schwab a aussi dû faire des concessions. Il ne peut plus jouer aucun rôle opérationnel ou représentatif au WEF – l’organisation qu’il avait créée il y a plus de 50 ans. Lors de la réunion annuelle de Davos, il doit laisser la scène à l’héritier Roche André Hoffmann et au patron de Blackrock Larry Fink. Ils président le conseil de fondation par intérim en co-présidence.

La famille Schwab reste représentée au conseil de fondation
Schwab garde cependant encore un accès à son œuvre de vie : il peut proposer un membre de sa famille comme successeur au conseil de fondation. C’est ce que prévoient les statuts du WEF. Le fils Olivier et la fille Nicole avaient appartenu par le passé au top management du WEF.
Un rapport d’enquête antérieur avait reproché à Olivier d’avoir réagi trop tard aux plaintes d’agressions sexuelles dans son secteur. On ne sait pas encore si et quand Schwab fera usage de ses droits de fondateur.
On ne sait pas non plus combien de temps Schwab pourra se réjouir de sa réhabilitation. Les lanceurs d’alerte se sont récemment attaqués avec une véhémence croissante au fondateur du WEF. Derrière cela se trouvent d’anciens employés du Forum qui se sentaient injustement traités par Schwab. Il reste à voir s’ils se contenteront des brèves excuses du WEF.

Greek Court Sentences Turkish Activist to 74 Years in Prison


Barış Erhan is an activist who has long been involved in the struggles of the revolutionary left in Turkey. Because of his activities against Erdoğan’s fascist regime, he has been investigated and prosecuted. He suffered social and political repression and was forced to seek asylum in Europe. While trying to reach Greece by boat with many other people, he was arrested and accused of being a migrant smuggler.

After spending more than a year in prison, he was sentenced in June 2025 to 74 years in prison as the documents and testimonies presented by Barış and his friends, proving that he was not a smuggler, were ignored by the Greek court. Today, an international campaign is calling for his release and for a rally on the first Saturday of every month in front of the official representations of the Greek state in the various European countries (see here).

If you see articles on Al Jazeera and Middle East Eye claiming that Lebanon govt is disarming resistance factions, take that with a large pinch of salt, like the whole jar. These are Qatari outlets, so Lebanon, Syria news are not reliable.
"The factions said in a joint statement that they will not give up their weapons as long as Palestine remains occupied"
The only handover was from Fatah, not indicative of disarmament

@Bernard @jazzilla

The fact that the first thing they did was to make Antisemitism a capital offence makes it kind of hard to explain for those who don't believe that Jews was running the Russian revolution. That it was actually a Jewish coup-detat.

But for the persistent ones, give them some time to dig themselves into a deep hole of explanations and then ask them

So why did they state that any criticism of communism was deemed as anti Jewish and therefore antisemitism and a capital offence?

@Bernard @jazzilla I've never had a problem for declaring & promoting my racism against the English. Most people are like 'yeah, you know the English really are the worst kind of people.' I'd add that no other single race outside of the Jews has done more than the English to bring Zionism to it's present state.

We were right about things getting worse, not better.
We were right about what America would become, and what it would do.
We were right about your Democrats and how worthless they are, and always would be.
We were right about Israel being the most persistently genocidal nation to ever exist.

You know all these things now, and you never see us stopping you in the streets to tell you, "I told you so." But here you continue to call us "tankie" and act like you already have it all figured out; you don't need to listen to us, you just need to wave your signs and vote harder next time around.

Maybe it's time, though, you stopped listening to what you now must know is fascist propaganda, and started listening to us.

The Jews claimed that the "Nazi Hitler Germans" cleverly hid all traces of their genocide gas by burying the evidence with caterpillars and excavators.

Hence investigating scientists went there ready to unearth the hidden crimes of the Hitler Nazi Putin Mussolini Germans

They also covered a "mass grave" with a bunch of concrete, gravel and boulders after some dude came in with ground penetrating radar and found nothing buried there 😏 the holohoax was debunked back in the 80s I think. Maybe even before that. It didn't take long for people to start investigation some of these fantastical allegations only to find out it was all lies and then they silenced them by ruining their lives professionally and financially
