Bombing Hospitals Is Bad Again - by Caitlin Johnstone
Israel, as we all know, bombs hospitals constantly. Israel bombed an Iranian hospital just the other day to almost no coverage from the western press. Israel has attacked healthcare workers and healthcare facilities in Gaza around 700 times according to the World Health Organisation, and the IDF has repeatedly been documented entering the hospitals it attacks to destroy individual pieces of medical equipment. Israel, unlike Iran, is deliberately targeting healthcare facilities to make Gaza unlivable.

We are witnessing the death of American democracy
Even a staunch conservative like Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is saying this now. Worrying.
Contrary to general belief, Weimar democracy did not die when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany in January 1933.
It died the year before under Franz von Papen, a national conservative with social-Darwinist views and a visceral hatred of liberal modernist “filth” in all its forms.
One of his first actions was to end execution by the guillotine – deemed too Jacobin – and return to the ancient Prussian practice of death by the axe.
Von Papen exploited a street clash between Communist Red Front dockers and Nazi Brownshirts on Prussian territory to carry out a constitutional coup against the elected Social Democrat government of Prussia, by far the biggest and most important of Germany’s self-governing states. He seized control of policing and state security on the pretext that the Social Democrats were failing to uphold law and order.
Historian Sir Richard Evans says this Preußenschlag (Prussian coup) of July 1932 was the critical moment in inter-war Germany, opening the door for much that followed.
What Donald Trump has done by activating the California National Guard against the protest of the governor, and then bringing in US Marines – both of which his critics argue are unconstitutional – is a very light version of Preußenschlag, but in some ways it is worse. The street protests in Los Angeles were the result of his own theatrical stunt. You could be forgiven for thinking he deliberately provoked the alleged “rebellion” in order to set this precedent.
One can see now why Trump moved so fast to purge the top echelons of the US defence department, including the three judge advocates general. These officials rule on whether military orders are legal, and when they should be disobeyed. They are legally independent by Congressional statute.
Pete Hegseth, the defence secretary, told us why they had been sacked: it was to stop them posing any “roadblocks to orders given by the commander-in-chief”.
Did Trump mean it when he told his generals to “just shoot” American protesters during the Black Lives Matter riots in 2020? We may find out.
He also fired the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and others deemed symbols of “diversity, equity, and inclusion”, although one might suspect another motive.
An earlier chairman – General Mark Milley – refused to ratify the Putsch of Jan 6 2021, and therefore stopped it stone dead. “We don’t take an oath to a king, or to a tyrant or dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution,” he said.
Trump is attacking California on several fronts at once, shrewdly judging that Governor Gavin Newsom is the perfect foil. He is stripping the state of its powers under the Clean Power Act to impose tougher pollution rules than federal levels. He has signed an order blocking California’s plan to phase out petrol cars by 2035, and another stopping it capping nitrogen oxide emissions. He now is threatening to withhold federal disaster aid for wildfires.
Trump called him “Governor Newscum” and added in his inimitable style: “You know, hatred is never a good thing in politics. When you don’t like somebody, you don’t respect somebody, it’s harder for that person to get money if you’re on top.”
Forgive me for sounding jaundiced, but decades ago I covered the Republican crusade under Speaker Newt Gingrich to restore states rights and check the usurpations of federal power. Gingrich and his party are now egging on the federal military occupation of states that stand in Trump’s way.
James Carville, veteran Democratic strategist and Clinton-fixer, says the Democrats should bide their time and “play possum”, betting that Trump will self-destruct under the contradictions of his own policies. The bond markets will do the job for them. Congress will drop back into Democrat hands like a ripe fruit in the 2026 mid-terms.
I never expected to find myself impugning the ruthless Mr Carville for credulous naivety. Declaration of interest: he once carried out a black ops campaign against me personally from an office in the White House, which I no doubt deserved, all is forgiven anyway.
Playing possum is what the German Social Democrats did in the early 1930s. Reading the first two volumes of Sir Richard Evans’s magisterial trilogy, The Coming of the Third Reich and The Third Reich in Power, I am struck again and again by the refusal of the moderate middle to face up to what was happening. They had a touching faith that the courts would save them.
But the judges were ideologically captured, or frightened, or did what most human beings do in turbulent times: they pre-emptively adapted to keep their families out of trouble.
The Social Democrats made another fatal error. They assumed that Hitler’s eccentric mish-mash of economic policies would lead quickly to a crisis, greatly underestimating the lift from neo-Keynesian rearmament, so like Trump’s gargantuan deficits.
American democracy has much deeper roots but the imminent bombing of Iran by the US air force gives pause for thought. There may be excellent reasons to knock out Iran’s nuclear capability, though doing in this way, flippantly, like a power-drunk despot, conflating non-proliferation with regime change, drives the final nail in the coffin of Western moral credibility.
That said, polls suggest that almost 80pc of Americans would applaud the destruction of the Fordow nuclear site, and most would support cutting off the head of the serpent in Tehran. Trump might face a Maga revolt on the edges but the larger bounce in popularity would let him steam roll opposition to his tariff war, his climate war, and his “beautiful big bill” – a giant transfer of income from poor to rich. I don’t believe Steven Bannon’s warning that intervention will “tear the country apart”, unless the bombing mission goes awry.
The strongman glow will open the window further for Trump’s takeover of the deep state. He has already fired the heads of the FBI’s intelligence, counterterrorism, criminal investigations, as well as the heads of the Washington and New York offices. He has purged the justice department, now run by a Lord High Executioner from The Mikado, openly touting an enemies list of “conspirators”. He has forced private law firms to bend the knee.
He has put in a loyalist in charge of the CIA, who inconveniently reported in March that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon. But that was then, when Trump stood for America First, and staying out of forever wars was policy. He has fired the head of the eaves-dropping National Security Agency and its top officials. He has purged the head of the Federal Trade Commission, who is independent by law, like the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
America in 2025 is obviously not Germany in 1932. The Weimar republic was already a cauldron of political violence. That year was the worst of the Great Depression. The country was seething with rage over the cultivated myths of the 1918 “stab in the back” and the Carthaginian peace of Versailles.
It is even less like Germany in 1933 when the Nazis used their three cabinet seats to take over the Prussian and federal interior ministries. Within five months the Social Democrats leadership was dead, or in Dachau, or in exile. All rival parties were shut down. No independent newspaper survived. Every organisation from the labour unions, to male choirs, sports teams and beekeeper clubs came under Nazi control.
But it is not the same America that was my home for long stretches of the late 20th century. Over the last few days alone: a Democratic US senator was manhandled to the floor, handcuffed and dragged away for asking a question; the Democrat comptroller of New York was seized and handcuffed by masked federal agents after demanding to see a judicial warrant; a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota was murdered with her husband at home, and a state senator was shot and badly wounded, both by an assassin with a hit list of 45 officials.
Judges have so far issued more than 60 rulings that curb or restrain Trump’s legal overreach. A shocking number have either been threatened, directly or through their families, or face calls for impeachment.
“Our constitutional system depends on judges who can make decisions free from threats and intimidation,” warned judge Robert Conrad, director of the administrative office of the US courts, in testimony to Congress. To no avail: the House judiciary committee shrugged it off, more or less blaming the victims.
The drift of events was disturbing even before Iran offered Trump a fresh gift from Mars. I fear that many more lines in the sand will be crossed in the heady aftermath of a surgical video war on the Ayatollah, if that is where we are headed.
Play possum if you want. Trump will eat your lunch.

Want to Save Money on a Crusher Plant? Understand These Price Factors First
Purchasing a crusher plant represents a significant capital investment, yet many buyers focus solely on sticker prices rather than the complex matrix of factors that determine long-term value. The true cost equation extends far beyond initial purchase figures, encompassing production efficiency, maintenance requirements, and operational flexibility that collectively determine your return on investment. Savvy buyers analyze six key stone crusher plant price determinants before committing to ensure their crusher plant delivers both immediate performance and lasting economic value.
Production Capacity Versus Actual Needs
Overestimating required throughput remains the most common and costly mistake in crusher plant selection. While 300 TPH plants command 40-60% higher prices than 150 TPH models, they only prove cost-effective if consistently operating near capacity. The sweet spot lies in plants sized to handle peak demand periods while maintaining 70-80% utilization during normal operations.
Crushing chamber design significantly impacts real-world throughput. Advanced models with variable geometry chambers maintain production rates as wear parts degrade, while simpler designs lose up to 20% capacity over time. This engineering difference often justifies 15-25% price premiums through consistent output and extended maintenance intervals.
Wear Part Economics and Maintenance Complexity
Crusher plants with easily replaceable wear components reduce downtime costs by 30-50%. Look for designs featuring:
- Rotating jaw systems that distribute wear evenly
- Hydraulic adjustment mechanisms for quick gap changes
- Standardized components that minimize custom fabrication
Maintenance accessibility directly impacts labor costs. Stone crusher plants requiring specialized tools or disassembly for routine servicing add $15-25 per operating hour in hidden expenses. Superior designs position grease points, inspection ports, and replaceable liners for tool-free access.
Energy Efficiency and Operational Costs
Electric-driven crushing systems offer 35-45% lower operating costs than diesel-hydraulic models in grid-connected locations. The price differential typically pays itself back within 18-24 months through energy savings alone. Hybrid systems now entering the market combine the mobility of diesel with the efficiency of electric, automatically switching between power sources based on load requirements.
Smart control systems provide another efficiency lever. Plants with load-sensing technology and automatic feed rate adjustment consume 15-20% less power while maintaining optimal crushing chamber conditions. These systems add 8-12% to upfront costs but deliver continuous savings across the mobile jaw crushermobile jaw crusher plant's lifespan.
The most economical crusher plant isn't necessarily the cheapest to purchase—it's the system that delivers the lowest cost per ton over its operational life. By evaluating these price factors holistically rather than individually, buyers avoid false economies and secure plants that become profit centers rather than money pits. The right balance of upfront investment and operating efficiency separates industry leaders from those constantly repairing or replacing underperforming equipment.

Security Focused Daily Driving Distros?
I have been tossing around the idea of a little distro hopping. I'm an avid mint fan. It was my first jump from windows. I became quite familiar with mint but felt the want to branch out and went down the rabbit hole (oh my lanta). I like stability and cleanliness. Security by default. Least mental load possible long-term.
I'm currently testing out NIXos. Next will be VanillaOS, 3rd will be Fedora Silverblue. Anyone have good recommendations? Easy backups, stability, security first posture, least maintenance and memory load. I hate getting scattered in symlinks, scripts, and filesystem placing.
I've tried going full custom Linux mint. But app armour and Firejail constantly conflict or require manual updating and tweaking to keep up to date with app installs, or general life cycle updates.
The most intriguing aspect if NIXos was that basically the entire configurable system was confined to two files. Infinitely reproducable. I tend to swap laptops or hardware relatively often being on the go or getting good tech deals. Having your entire system in two files essentially is awesome.
What are some pros and cons of different distros? What do you daily drive as a power user? Give me your thoughts!
Most major distros are fairly secure by default without things breaking (arch is a exception there, As you got to set that up your self).
If you want to go extreme their is Qubes OS. But you can not swap that across systems like you might want do.
Qubes is good. Not super daily driver friendly. Lots of tweaks needed. I use a laptop like a phone replacement. Banking, apps, messaging, all sorts of usual phone tasks. Also Qubes is too resource heavy on a laptop, it drains the batteries in a couple hours on basic usage. Takes 16 gigs if RAM to run and 32gb to breathe really. Plus 30 ish percent CPU idle roughly on a 12th gen Intel i7.
It's too heavy to daily, perfect for desktop, just not laptop all day material.

The Companies Act 2014: Key Responsibilities for Directors
If you’re a director of a Singapore company, the Companies Act 2014 is your operational guide. Whether you’re running a small business or a large firm, this law clearly defines your duties. Ignoring it can lead to significant repercussions.
Here’s a straightforward guide to what you need to know.
1. Your Role Carries Legal Responsibility
A directorship is more than a symbolic role. The Companies Act 2014 makes you legally accountable for the company’s management. You’re required to act honestly, prioritize the company’s interests, and exercise reasonable diligence.
If problems like financial errors or inadequate records occur, saying “I didn’t know” won’t protect you. The law expects you to be proactive.
2. Essential Duties You Must Follow
The Act outlines non-negotiable responsibilities:
- Act in good faith: The company’s interests must always come before personal gain.
- Declare conflicts of interest: Any personal or financial stake in a deal must be disclosed.
- Avoid misusing your role or information: Using your position for personal benefit or to harm the company is a violation.
- Exercise reasonable care: Informed, responsible decision-making is required, even for non-operational directors.
These obligations apply to all directors, regardless of their involvement in daily operations.
3. Mandatory Records and Filings
The law requires companies to keep accurate records, such as accounting books, meeting minutes, and shareholder registers. Annual returns must be submitted to ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority) on schedule. Directors can be held liable for non-compliance.
Corporate secretarial services can help here. A competent company secretary ensures filings are timely and accurate, but directors must still oversee the process.
4. Requirement for a Company Secretary
Every Singapore company must appoint a company secretary to handle compliance and maintain records. The Companies Act 2014 mandates:
- A secretary must be appointed within six months of incorporation.
- The appointee must be qualified, such as a lawyer, accountant, or experienced professional.
- A sole director cannot also be the company secretary.
Non-compliance can lead to penalties, and without proper support, key duties may be overlooked.
5. Financial Reporting Mandates
Depending on your company’s structure and size, audited financial statements may be required. Even without an audit, accurate financial records are mandatory.
These records are vital for shareholders, investors, and regulators. Errors or omissions can result in fines or criminal charges for directors.
6. Annual General Meetings (AGMs)
Private companies can avoid AGMs by sending financial statements to shareholders within five months of the financial year-end, unless shareholders demand a meeting. Public companies must hold AGMs.
AGMs are a legal obligation and an opportunity to connect with shareholders. Mishandling or skipping them can lead to breaches.
7. Consequences of Non-Compliance
Failing to follow the Companies Act can lead to harsh penalties, including fines, disqualification, or jail time. The law applies whether the breach was intentional or not.
Directors must stay proactive—ignorance is no excuse.
8. Leverage Expert Assistance
Running a company is demanding, and compliance adds another layer. Many directors turn to corporate secretarial services to manage:
- Timely ACRA filings
- Statutory record maintenance
- AGM and board meeting coordination
- Ensuring the company secretary meets legal requirements
While such services help, directors remain responsible for compliance.
Final Thoughts
The Companies Act 2014 is a critical guide for Singapore directors, defining your duties and the penalties for non-compliance.
You don’t need to memorize every section, but you must grasp your core obligations and ensure they’re fulfilled.
If you’re unsure about compliance, consult your company secretary or consider corporate secretarial services. Proactive steps now can save you from trouble later.

Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price.
Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits.
The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income.

Thunderbird is cross platform email client that was initially developed by Mozilla using the same technologies as Firefox. Thunderbird does a LOT. You get a calendar and tasks list, and a complete address book.Thunderbird also has plenty of configuration options to let you tweak how it looks and works, manage tags, offline use, spellchecking, and how your email actually displays.
It also has plenty of hidden, features, like a complete RSS Feed reader, that you can access by adding a new Feed account in the settings, and you can even use it a chat client for Google Talk, IRC or any app using the XMPP protocol.
You also get access to extensions! You can add, for example, sticky notes, or integrate Thunderbird with Nextcloud to upload your large attachments to your storage and send them via a link in the email, you can add a conversation view, you can turn your favorite folders into tabs in the interface, you can add Google calendar support, or even add Exchange support.
If you're looking for something that will look right at home on your GNOME desktop, with a simple and easy experience, Geary is what you want. It's very simple, without many options to change how it works0.
If you use KDE, you'll probably want to head towards Kmail, which is designed to look right at home on that desktop environment.
Kmail can work with Exchange accounts, supports OpenPGP, and you can integrate SPamAssassin or Bogofilter to remove spam.
If you want a more complete suite for handling all your productivity needs, Kmail can also integrate with Kontact, which brings in an address book, a calendar, a todo list, RSS feeds, a journaling solution, and some sticky notes.
Evolution doesn't get many updates these days, and it looks more at home on a GNOME 2 desktop than on a GNOME 3 one, it's still a pretty useful email application. Evolution will pick up on your dark theme and GTK theme, and you get access to your email, contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes.
You can change how things look, with the message panel on the right or the bottom. You also get a ton of preferences to change how you write your email, manage your labels, how the calendar and tasks work, if you want to load external content in HTML emails.
Mailspring is a pretty nice email client that you can get from flathub. It can use most email providers, like Gmail, iCloud, GMX, Office 365, or Outlook, and of course independent IMAP accounts. It comes with multiple themes out of the box, including one that looks like Yaru, Ubuntu's theme, and it has a dark theme.
It's got a comprehensive set of keyboard shortcuts, including presets, and you can set rules for incoming email, create hmtl signatures, as well as configure a lot of things.
Bluemail isn't open source but it still has a Linux version, and it has an interesting approach: treating your inbox as a todo list.
It has a small kanban board to let you organize your email as if they were tasks. You just drag them to a column, like Today, Later, or Done, and you've got yourself a little organizer to avoid using another app to convert your actionable emails into tasks. You can create other columns if you like to sort your work exactly how you like.

The Profits From Taking Gaza - Oriental Review

We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars.
With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food.
We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper.
Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits.

There are lots of surprises in this story.
Excerpt: But the signatures of several prominent progressive groups were noticeably absent from this so-called "joint unity statement" signed by nearly 50 member organizations. Notable among them were the National Council of Jewish Women, the New Jewish Narrative – a recently formed merger between Americans for Peace Now, the U.S. arm of the veteran Israeli peace movement, and Ameinu, an offshoot of the Israeli Labor Party – and HIAS (originally the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society), which works with refugees.
Although the Union for Reform Judaism, the congregational arm of the Reform movement, signed the statement, as did other groups affiliated with the Reform movement, the Central Conference of American Rabbis – which is its rabbinical association – did not.

Western governments are lying to their people about Israel’s attack on Iran. This is a war to ‘remake’ the Middle East
I don’t understand the headline. No one is hiding anything. The absence of any push back from Saudi, UAE, Qatar, or Egypt says this is being done with their approval.
Regime change is always about remaking the ground. It’s happening in America too.

You're absolutely right, you absolute fuckwad, and well said, even if you are a shit eating waste of a human.
(Sorry I don't mean it, I feel bad now...)
Agreed, but your point will usually be a lot better received if you aren't a dick. SpaceX is a great example- it's a great company, but the head of the company taints the whole thing they are trying to achieve.
It comes down to respect. Even if I'm wrong, treating me with respect will mean I'm more likely to respect you, and if I respect you I'm going to respect your argument.

in reply to stephie • • •Damit zeigt die deutsche Bundesregierung ganz klar auf, dass sie alle Verpflichtungen Deutschlands nach dem Internationalen Recht mit Füßen treten.
Das Internationale Recht ist Verfassungsprinzip, es gibt ein Eigenes Völkerstrafgesetzbuch in dem all das steht an dem wir beteiligt sind.
Unsere Bundesregierung, ebenso wie die vorige verhalten sich offen verfassungsfeindlich.
