Good Morning Fedi

The Earth is boiling
The World is bleeding
because of clowns who put
money over Life

"This is your last chance.
After this, there is no turning back.
You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Remember, all I'm offering is the truth - nothing more."

The Netherlands is enacting it's national heat plan this week. With temps forecast to be as high as 35˚C in the middle of the week. We need to talk about shade. Specifically, about the way our infrastucture is not designed for the new normal of these high temperatures in the summer.

In the heat of a summers day, by far the best thing a person can do is seek shade. Alas the way we have designed our built infrastructure makes this difficult. Take for example this bus stop in Amsterdam.

1/n

A bus shelter in Amsterdam. The shelter is made from toughened glass and offers no shade. The text on the time table reads V D Hoopstraat. There are trees and brick buildings in the background.

Matter interact with other matter in different ways. Just like rain drops are made of matter, light is matter too and can be blocked. In other words, we can have windows that let visible light through while absorbing, or reflecting rest of the spectrum.

That bus stop might be letting visible light while blocking wavelengths that contribute to most heat, or upgraded to do that.

'Are we allowed to say "death to the IDF" in the UK? Somerset police don't seem to think so.

Death to the IDF could mean many things. It could be metaphorical as in "I want to see the IDF come to an end", kind'a like saying "death to apartheid". It could be literal as in "I want to see the death of any soldier that harms civilians", kind'a like saying "they deserve the death penalty" '. 1/3

'Or it could be literal as in "I want to see every last IDF soldier dead because they're in a genocidal army".

Of course, Zionists have decided those words go even further than the last example: they have decided the Glastonbury chant means wishing death upon every Israeli. The Mail On Sunday even rewrote "death to the IDF" as "death to Israelis" on its front page, even though those words weren't said. This could easily be considered libellous.' 2/3

"Maersk's announcement to cut ties with Israeli settlements is not corporate goodwill.

deps deps.0 build and running dependencies on arch and elsewhere


For those that practice the wise art of building your own you may notice on some repositories we have a deps and a deps.0, in an increasing occurrence in recent months.
Although pacman/makepkg provide this luxury of separating running dependency ( depends= ) and make/build dependencies as ( makedepends= and checkdepends= ) arch-linux and most of its followers fail to take the advantage of this, and list running dependencies on top where they are applied as makedependencies as well. By shifting running dependencies to package{}= sections you prevent makepkg from having to demand all of them.

Not ALL running dependencies are necessary to build a package, and if you run with minimal make dependencies it will most likely ask you specifically for what else is missing as a makedependency. There is a gray area where the pkg can build without a specific library or functionality necessary, and in such occasions you can search and take an educated guess whether you want this functionality or not. It is a general good practice to satisfy all those optional make dependencies so full functionality can be delivered.

In most recent labwc-git build, where build dependencies had been optimized, xwayland was demanded. Some new code in labwc -git requires that the current xwayland libraries be present for ultimate functionality, so this was added.

We believe that installing additional running dependencies while building is both extra bulk and a security risk, as if something insecure was discovered in the near future, it has been passed into packages by being present when not necessary.

So the previously used arch-linux inspired deps are moved in deps.0 and new deps tend to be smaller lists of what is necessary and/or useful to be present. By doing so we are under the impression that we are cleaning up the builds one at a time and progressively this makes the entire system leaner and more responsive as @Kerry (kokanee) recently commented. If you think this is a poor practice and what arch artix obarun manjaro are doing is good enough let us know why you think this is wrong. We have yet to encounter any evidence of a pkg being built suffering from such lean-build practice.

I may have a very old machine I tried this on, but the pkgs I believe make a difference being optimized and built on specific machine architecture are the kernel and certain large pkgs like xorg-server mesa .. or anything large. The rest didn't seem to make a perceivable difference, it may be measurable somehow but whether building generic or native appeared the same.

So I've decided to build exactly as joborun so I can use the built pkgs on other machines as well. Pretty much anything I can get my hands on gets joborun.

POUR ESSAYER DE METTRE UN TERME AUX INTERROGATIONS SANS RÉPONSES QUI SE MULTIPLIENT : j'ai testé pour vous une intelligence artificielle : WWW.PERPLEXITY. AI
Avec cette question très difficile :
QUE SAIT-ON DE L'ENQUÊTE SUR LE DECÈS D'ÉRIC DENÉCÉ ?
L'enquête sur le décès d'Éric #Denécé, survenu le 9 juin #2025 à Serraval en #Haute-Savoie, a été ouverte par le parquet d’Annecy pour déterminer les causes de la mort. Il a été retrouvé dans sa voiture, avec une blessure par balle à la tête, un fusil de chasse à ses côtés et les portières verrouillées. La police scientifique a relevé des empreintes autour du véhicule et de la poudre sur ses mains. L'hypothèse principale retenue par les enquêteurs est celle du suicide, mais aucune piste n'est exclue officiellement.
Cependant, cette thèse officielle suscite de vives contestations parmi ses proches, sa famille et plusieurs personnalités, qui rejettent l’idée que Denécé se soit donné la mort. Ils évoquent des difficultés financières réelles mais pensent qu’il aurait pu être aidé, et certains parlent même d’une possible exécution, évoquant le fait qu’il dérangeait par ses analyses et révélations dans le domaine du renseignement et de la géopolitique.
Le contexte de sa mort, dans un milieu où la frontière entre vérité et manipulation est souvent floue, alimente les soupçons et les théories complotistes. Une opération d’influence russe a même repris la thèse d’un assassinat pour des raisons de propagande. La communauté du renseignement et des analystes géopolitiques réclame une enquête transparente, d’autant que plusieurs disparitions mystérieuses ont frappé ce milieu récemment.
En résumé, l'enquête officielle privilégie la piste du suicide, mais les circonstances troubles, les doutes exprimés par son entourage et le contexte géopolitique complexe entourant Éric Denécé maintiennent un climat d’incertitude et de controverse autour de sa mort.

Questions liées
Quelles sont les théories principales sur la cause de la mort d'Éric Denécé
Pourquoi sa famille et ses proches doutent-ils de la version officielle du suicide
Quel rôle pourrait avoir la propagande russe dans l'enquête sur sa mort
Comment l'histoire d'Éric Denécé s'inscrit-elle dans le contexte des opérations de renseignement russes
En quoi ses travaux et son environnement professionnel pourraient expliquer les circonstances mystérieuses de sa disparition
La famille et les proches d’Éric Denécé doutent fortement de la version officielle du suicide pour plusieurs raisons majeures :
Contexte personnel et physique jugé incompatible avec un suicide : Ils affirment qu’Éric Denécé était en bonne santé physique et morale, pratiquait régulièrement une activité sportive, et n’avait pas montré de signes évidents de vouloir mettre fin à ses jours, malgré des difficultés financières réelles mais surmontables.
Absence d’éléments concrets étayant la thèse du suicide : Aucune lettre d’adieu n’a été retrouvée, aucune autopsie publique n’a été communiquée, et les circonstances précises de sa mort restent floues, ce qui alimente les suspicions et le sentiment d’opacité.
Le contexte professionnel et politique sensible : Éric Denécé était une figure reconnue du renseignement et de l’analyse géopolitique, connue pour ses prises de position critiques, notamment contre certaines politiques françaises et internationales. Plusieurs proches estiment qu’il « dérangeait » par ses révélations et analyses, ce qui pourrait motiver une élimination déguisée en suicide.
Réactions de proches et personnalités : Certains membres de sa famille parlent clairement d’« exécution », et des élus comme Jacques Myard évoquent la possibilité d’un assassinat lié à ses travaux et documents « qui ne plaisaient pas ». Ces doutes sont renforcés par un climat général de méfiance dans le milieu du renseignement, marqué par d’autres décès mystérieux.
Ambiance de suspicion et théories alternatives : La mort d’Éric Denécé s’inscrit dans un contexte où la frontière entre vérité et manipulation est floue, et où des opérations d’influence, notamment russes, ont exploité cette affaire pour nourrir des thèses complotistes, ce qui contribue à entretenir la controverse.
En résumé, la famille et les proches rejettent la thèse du suicide car ils considèrent que ni son état personnel ni les circonstances de sa mort ne correspondent à cette hypothèse, et ils suspectent une possible élimination liée à ses activités professionnelles et à ses prises de position critiques.

As part of this scramble, in February last year, the EU signed a $900 million deal with Rwanda “to nurture sustainable and resilient value chains for critical raw materials.” Ironically, Rwanda exports more minerals than it does from its own mines. The DRC, the United Nations, and international human rights groups say the bulk of minerals exported by Rwanda are plundered from eastern DRC. Coincidentally, in the immediate aftermath of this EU-Rwanda minerals supply deal, fighting resumed in eastern DRC, peaking in February this year when the Rwanda-backed M-23 rebel group seized control of vast swathes of the area in this mineral-rich part of the country. Rights groups say over 8,500 people have been killed in this attack. Even the EU Parliament has voted for the suspension of the minerals deal until Rwanda stops supporting the M-23 rebels, but the EU is not keen to do so, putting its own interests ahead of the rights of the citizens of the DRC, and human rights in general.
....DRC remains one of the poorest countries in the world.

Video (see previous post) has emerged of a gang rape of a #Palestinian prisoner by guards at the Sde Teiman detention facility in the Negev desert, southern #Israel.
Ten soldiers were ultimately arrested for the rape on July 29, in a case that has rocked Israeli society. The soldiers belong to a unit known as Force 100, which is tasked with guarding the Sde Teiman facility, according to Haaretz
Military prosecutors released three of the arrested soldiers on August 4, adding to the two previously released by investigators following a military court hearing in Kfar Yona on July 30, at which protesters gathered in support of the soldiers under arrest.
Bezalel Smotrich demanded “an immediate criminal investigation to locate the leakers of the trending video that was intended to harm the reservists and that caused tremendous damage to Israel in the world and to exhaust the full severity of the law against them”.
Following the arrest of the reservists on July 29, far-right mobs, some of which included government ministers, stormed the facility at Sde Teiman.

#Israeli officials have obstructed a UN investigation into alleged sexual crimes committed by Hamas fighters during the 7 October 2023 Al-Aqsa Flood operation, fearing this would open the door to a probe into the rampant allegations of sexual violence against Palestinians inside Israeli torture camps.

According to a report by Israeli daily Haaretz, Tel Aviv rejected a request from Pramila Patten, the #UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General on #SexualViolence in Conflict, to investigate the allegations against #Hamas after she established that a necessary condition would be access to Israeli detention centers to probe claims against Israeli soldiers.

Nevertheless, since the start of the Israeli genocide in #Gaza, #humanrights organizations have documented dozens of accounts of the rampant sexual violence inflicted on #Palestinians inside Israeli detention centers.

And now the real face of #zionazis: On 27 August, Channel 14 hosted one of the Sde Teiman guards accused of raping Palestinians on one of its programs. The soldier stated, “The military police treated us really nice... You see the support … With a hand on their heart, like, telling you ‘thank you’!”

#Palestinian Women 'Raped by Israeli Soldiers.' Silence From Western #Media

Women are routinely sexually abused during home invasions by the Israeli military. They’re forced to disrobe – sometimes in front of their male relatives – and adopt humiliating poses for the soldiers to film them, Khraim said. During some #WestBank home invasions, the other advocate testified, Israeli soldiers touched Palestinian women sexually and threatened them with rape, all while their male relatives were handcuffed. The soldiers “make sexual noises and gestures, threaten to rape [the woman] even, doing this in front of [her male relatives] while they're being handcuffed or blindfolded, not able to stop it, not able to protect [their] daughter, sister, whatever it may be. It's a form to not only control the woman, but also control the men as well, and break up the family and, in turn, break up society as a whole.”

“Rape was mainly done by Israeli female officers inserting objects inside genitals” of the detained, Khraim testified. The female Israeli soldiers raped both men and women, photographing and often filming the assaults.

This is an example for those who justify the stance of german State under the explanation "guiltiness". This guy is grandson of one of the most notorious guys, Katznelson, of the early zionist project. And he speaks up. And he goes against the steps of his ancestors (also his father who was a general in IOF), because he can see. He can see and has the moral values to speak.
He has also lost relative from "terrorist" attack and what he said is "Why not tell the truth... That this and similar tragedies are taking place because we are occupying another nation and that in order to save lives the right thing to do is to end the occupation and negotiate a just peace with our Palestinian partners?"

The great truth of our time is that our continent is giving way to barbarism because private ownership of the means of production is being maintained by violence. Merely to recognize this truth is not sufficient, but should it not be recognized, no other truth of importance can be discovered. Of what use is it to write something courageous which shows that the condition into which we are falling is barbarous (which is true) if it is not clear why we are falling into this condition? We must say that torture is used in order to preserve property relations. To be sure, when we say this we lose a great many friends who are against torture only because they think property relations can be upheld without torture, which is untrue.

We must tell the truth about the barbarous conditions in our country in order that the thing should be done which will put an end to them—the thing, namely, which will change property relations.

Sufyan Jaber Abed Jawwad, a sanitation worker with the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, was the first Unrwa employee killed in the West Bank in more than a decade. Shot in the early hours of Thursday morning in el Far’a camp, he left behind a wife and five children."

The army plans to expel 1,500-2,000 Palestinians from Fire Zone 918 in Masafer Yatta, claiming that they are not "permanent residents". Meanwhile, 11 illegal outposts have been established, with the army's support, within the same Fire Zone. In the West Bank, Fire Zones now cover nearly a million dunams, and their primary function seems to be training for one thing, which is how to expel Palestinians.

Last Tuesday (June 17, 2025), a document was circulated within the #IDF Central Command headquarters and it deserves close attention. Titled "Subject: Training Routine in Fire Zone 918", the two page memo, signed by Major Sari Saban, lays out in detail why it is needy to expel approximately 1,500-2,000 Palestinian residents that are living in an area that was first declared a military “Fire Zone” by Israel in the late 1971. Fire Zones, as a reminder, are always designated as "Closed Military Zones" where, according to the army, only "permanent residents" are permitted to remain. Pay attention to that term - "permanent residents" - we will return to it shortly.

Below are two short quotes from the document that clearly clarify its purpose: “Over the years, a phenomenon of widespread illegal construction has developed in the Fire Zone, which harms the training routine and the IDF's ability to prepare for war" (Section 2)..... "In recent months, the Central Command has been operating - using both civilian and military tools at its disposal in order to fulfill its duty - preserving the Fire Zone for the benefit of IDF training" (Section 3). Link to the full document in the comments.

Let us take a moment to recall what Fire Zone 918 actually is: It spans over nearly 33,000 dunams and is located at the southeastern edge of the West Bank. The area lies within what is historically known as "Masafer Yatta" meaning the agricultural hinterland of the town of Yatta. This broader region extends well beyond the boundaries of Fire Zone 918, and a significant portion of it now lies south of the Green Line, within the sovereign territory of the State of Israel.

In Masafer Yatta dozens of shepherd communities have lived for generations in what is called “khirbe”, meaning small hamlets of Yatta. This way of life was common all around Palestinian towns and villages throughout the country. The same thing happened here within the 33,000 dunams that the army declared as "Fire Zone 918", around 12 to 13 shepherd communities, historically connected to Yatta, have lived and worked the land for generations. These are the communities that the Central Command document, now targets for destruction and expulsion. And what is the justification the army offers? It refuses to recognize the residents as "permanent". For years, the state has invested enormous effort trying to prove that these villages are merely "seasonal encampments" and thus, in the army's view, they can expel them from Fire Zone 918.

On May 4, 2022, the High Court ruled that there was no justification to prevent the "evacuation" - meaning, expelling the Palestinian residents of the communities located within Fire Zone 918. The ruling was authored by the settler judge David Mintz, who was born and raised in England and immigrated to Israel - perhaps, among other reasons, so that one day he could authorize the expulsion of people from the very places where their grand-grandparents were born and lived. A stunning twist of irony - though over here, it goes by the name “Zionism”.

As expected, Mintz's ruling was hailed by his ideological allies, who viewed it as a major milestone in the broader effort to expel Palestinians from the area and transform it into a Jewish-only settlement area. Just as was done in other Fire Zones in the northern West Bank, where Palestinians were fully displaced. Indeed not too long after the ruling, the army began blocking roads and restricting movement in the area, in an effort to "encourage" residents to leave. "Voluntary Migration". Link to the post we published in November 2022 is in the comments.

In the years leading up to the court ruling, Israel continued mapping areas that had been looted since the early 1980s by declaring them as "state land". Past experience shows that such mapping typically signals an intent to eventually transfer the land to settlers. And indeed, while working on our latest report, “The Bad Samaritan” that was published in March of this year, we discovered that in 2019 and 2021, the Settlement Division allocated over 3,300 dunams of "state land" located inside Fire Zone 918 to two settlers for grazing purposes. Link to our post from May 2022, where we explained how and why this mapping was carried out, is in the comments.

At the same time, settlers established 11 outposts within Fire Zone 918. Nine of them were established between 2022 and 2024, and six of them after October 7, 2023. Strikingly, the Central Command document makes no mention of these outposts at all. Apparently, it is only the presence of Palestinians living in the area that disrupts the army's training. The outposts, established by violent and lawless settlers, are not only not disturbing, they function as paramilitary extensions that the army protects and supports.

The phenomenon of expelling Palestinians, as settlers take control over Fire Zones and establish outposts within them, is not unique to Fire Zone 918. Over the past decade, we have seen this pattern spread across the West Bank. One key example is Fire Zone 904A, located east of the villages of Aqraba and Beit Furik, which settlers have gradually managed to seize almost entirely since the late 1990s. Link to the post where we explained the settlers' model is in the comments.

As we explained in our report "A Locked Garden" which we published ten years ago, the army has left nearly 80% of the West Bank's Fire Zones unused for decades, effectively enabling settlers to expel the Palestinian residents who live there and to seize control of the land. This is not a new phenomenon, but it has gained renewed momentum since Avi Bluth's was appointed as the Apartheid commander. Link to the "A Locked Garden" report is in the comments.

This is exactly what is happening now in Fire Zone 203, west of #Ramallah, as we described in a post last March (link to the post is in the comments). This is exactly what is happening in Fire Zone 934, where settlers have recently begun establishing an outpost called "Beit Horon North", which the racist and corrupt government has already rushed to designate as a "new settlement".

As a non-native English speaker from a not-so-popular language group, learning to read even casual science stuff was an uphill battle. First I had to learn English to a reasonable level. Then I realized that English-Romanian dictionaries hadn’t really kept up with science.

I eventually managed to get my hands on a fancy English-only dictionary (yes, a printed one, this was a while ago), but then I ran into another problem: I'd start from one definition, only to find another unfamiliar word in the explanation, then another one in that definition and so on, until I forgot where I had started. And even when I did understand a concept, I'd often be stuck with the English word and with a lot of frustration about trying to convey that in my own language.

Some of those struggles are outdated now. At least you no longer have to deal with a giant dictionary pressing into your ribs if you’re reading lying down. But the language gap in science communication still exists.

That’s why I’m launching a community project: The brain across languages.

We’re inviting students who speak more than one language to help us translate Neurofrontiers content into as many languages as possible.

If you’re interested (or know someone who might be), details here: neurofrontiers.blog/the-brain-…

Boosts are very much appreciated!

The brain across languages - Neurofrontiers

What this project is about Understanding the brain is essential and, without a doubt, fascinating. But while the science of the brain affects everyone, the language of that science remains predominantly English.

12 milliards de dollars de pertes pour #Israël

La guerre de 12 jours entre #Israël et l’ #Iran a coûté 12 milliards de dollars à Israël, dégâts matériels et dépenses militaires inclus. Malgré la supériorité technologique d’Israël et des #États-Unis, l’Iran a touché des sites stratégiques israéliens, révélant des failles défensives.

Le 26 juin 2025, des rapports économiques et médiatiques israéliens ont révélé que la guerre de 12 jours contre l’Iran, déclenchée le 13 juin par une attaque surprise israélienne, a coûté à Israël environ 12 milliards de dollars de pertes directes.

Ce conflit, marqué par une escalade fulgurante et un cessez-le-feu négocié sous l’égide des États-Unis le 24 juin, a laissé des séquelles économiques et matérielles considérables. Les coûts incluent les dépenses militaires, les dommages causés par les missiles iraniens, les efforts de reconstruction et les indemnisations pour les civils et entreprises touchés.

L'Iran a visé des sites stratégiques

Selon des analystes, ce montant pourrait atteindre 20 milliards une fois évaluées les pertes indirectes, comme le ralentissement du tourisme et de la construction. Le déficit budgétaire israélien devrait grimper à 6 %, dépassant le seuil de 4,9 % fixé par le ministère des Finances. L’opération israélienne, baptisée « Rising lion », visait à neutraliser le programme nucléaire iranien, les fabriques de missiles balistiques et les capacités militaires de Téhéran.

Malgré la supériorité technologique d’Israël et le soutien américain, notamment via des frappes sur trois sites nucléaires iraniens (Fordo, Natanz, Ispahan) lors de l’opération « Marteau de minuit » le 22 juin, l’Iran a démontré une résilience inattendue.

En riposte, dans le cadre de l’opération « Promesse honnête 3 », l’Iran a réussi à toucher des sites stratégiques israéliens, notamment l’institut Weizmann des Sciences à Rehovot, un centre de recherche clé, la base aérienne de Tel Nof, celle de Nevatim, et le complexe militaire de Kirya à Tel Aviv. La raffinerie de Haïfa a également été durement touchée, trois morts étant à déplorer.

Ces frappes, dans lesquelles des missiles hypersoniques ont été utilisés, ont révélé des failles dans les défenses antimissiles israéliennes, malgré le coût élevé de l'interception.

Les dommages matériels côté israélien sont estimés à 1,47 milliard de dollars, avec 240 bâtiments détruits, dont 2 000 appartements. Environ 9 000 personnes ont été déplacées, et 65 000 Israéliens bloqués à l’étranger ont dû être rapatriés. L’Iran, bien que fragilisé par des sanctions et la chute de ses alliés comme le Hezbollah ou le gouvernement Assad, a su exploiter ses capacités balistiques pour infliger des pertes significatives.

Téhéran assure que son savoir-faire #nucléaire reste intact, malgré les destructions partielles de ses infrastructures. Ce conflit a également eu des répercussions économiques mondiales, avec une hausse de 10 % des prix du pétrole et des perturbations sur les marchés financiers.

Pour financer la guerre, Israël a requis 40 milliards de shekels (11,7 milliards de dollars) supplémentaires pour ses forces armées, en plus d’une aide américaine de 8,7 milliards. Ces chiffres soulignent la pression sur l’économie israélienne, déjà affaiblie par deux ans de conflits à Gaza et au Liban. La guerre des 12 jours, bien que brève, a révélé les limites de la supériorité technologique face à la détermination iranienne.

Here's a regular reminder that “The IDF shoots unarmed people at a safe distance for sport." is not a new development and not a – however pathological – “response" to Oct 7, but has been the certified finding of a formal UN enquiry into the massacres at Gaza's March of Return years earlier. You might want to search for “42 knees in a day” if you are reluctant to believe it.

A #Haaretz investigation revealed today that the army issued instructions to deliberately shoot Palestinians near aid distribution centers. Although we know this, the report includes terrifying testimonies. One soldier who stood out to me said: " #Gaza is no longer of interest to anyone. It has become a place with its own laws. The killing of people there is nothing, not even an 'unfortunate incident,' as they once said."

QUI PLACE CES DESCENDANTS DE #NAZIS À CES POSTES ?
Maria #Zakharova sur Telegram : /s/MariaVladimirovnaZakharova/10926

[...L’information selon laquelle le grand-père de la nouvelle cheffe du renseignement britannique, Blaze #Metreveli, Konstantin #Dobrovolsky, était un nazi ukrainien et un criminel de guerre pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, a fait l’effet d’une bombe sur les réseaux.

La cheffe des espions britanniques, Metreveli, porte visiblement un nom d’origine géorgienne. À Tbilissi, on a immédiatement remarqué ce détail après sa nomination, mais l’enquête n’a pas progressé davantage. Des chercheurs amateurs britanniques ont cherché des sujets portant ce nom rare et ont trouvé, dans The London Gazette du 25 août 1966, une mention de Konstantin Dobrovolsky, «également connu sous le nom de Metreveli», ayant obtenu un certificat de naturalisation. Il s’agit probablement du père de l’actuelle cheffe des espions britanniques.

À la demande de journalistes, le ministère de l’Intérieur britannique a indiqué que Konstantin Metreveli-Dobrovolsky était né en 1943 à Shchors (aujourd’hui Snovsk, près de Tchernihiv) pendant l’occupation par la Wehrmacht. Son père, le grand-père de Blaze, était Konstantin Dobrovolsky. Metreveli est le nom du second mari de la grand-mère de Blaze, un émigré d’origine géorgienne, David Metreveli.

Les archives militaires fédérales de Fribourg apportent un contexte crucial à cette information.
Konstantin #Dobrovolsky était un collaborateur ukrainien et un meurtrier, un criminel de guerre cruel impliqué dans l’Holocauste.
Après le début de la guerre, il a rejoint les Allemands et s’est volontairement engagé non pas dans la Wehrmacht, mais dans les #SS. Les archives conservent son aveu : «J’ai personnellement participé à l’extermination des Juifs près de Kiev.»

Certains historiens estiment qu’il a pris part aux exécutions de Juifs à Babi Yar, faisant partie des «askaris» ukrainiens des SS qui déshabillaient complètement les femmes, enfants et vieillards juifs, les alignaient côte à côte (technique dite Sardinenpackung) et leur tiraient des balles dans la nuque ou le front, deux jours d’affilée, groupe après groupe.
Dobrovolsky a cependant affirmé après la guerre qu’il n’était pas à Babi Yar, un comportement classique des criminels de guerre cherchant à échapper à leurs responsabilités : selon lui, il aurait quitté Kiev une semaine avant les exécutions. Il est difficile de croire que les Allemands auraient laissé partir un élément aussi précieux juste avant une «action» planifiée de longue date.

Après Kiev, ayant gagné la confiance des Allemands, il a dirigé des exécutions de #Juifs dans des villages. À Sosnytsia, 300 personnes ont été abattues. Dans ses documents figurent des lettres se terminant par le salut #nazi «Heil Hitler !» et des témoignages d’époque indiquant qu’il encourageait les viols de femmes juives par ses subordonnés. Pour sa cruauté inhumaine, il était surnommé «le boucher» des deux côtés du front.

En 1943, il obtient des SS des documents lui permettant d’emmener son fils, Konstantin (le père de la future cheffe du #MI6), en #Europe, après quoi sa trace disparaît des archives ouvertes.
Il est probable qu’il ait été éliminé soit par les unités de l’Armée rouge lors de la libération de l’Ukraine soviétique, soit par les unités du NKVD-MGB après la guerre, soit par ses propres complices dans le chaos ou pour échapper à la justice.
Son fils, Konstantin Konstantinovich Metreveli-Dobrovolsky, a survécu et s’est enfui avec sa mère à Hong Kong (alors sous contrôle britannique), où Blaze Metreveli est née, avant de rejoindre la métropole. Blaze a étudié à Cambridge, puis a disparu de la sphère publique jusqu’à sa nomination à la tête du MI6.

Commentaire du Foreign Office : «Blaze Metreveli n’a ni connu ni rencontré son grand-père paternel. Sa #généalogie est marquée par des conflits et des désaccords et, comme pour beaucoup de personnes d’origine est-européenne, n’est que partiellement connue.» Sa grand-mère et son père auraient-ils vraiment caché les squelettes dans le placard familial ?
Mais la question n’est pas là. La question est de savoir ce que Blaze Metreveli pense de ses origines. Elle ne devrait pas se cacher derrière son service de presse, mais s’expliquer publiquement.
Car la tendance est clairement néonazie : Friedrich #Merz, Annalena #Baerbock, Chrystia #Freeland, Salome #Zourabichvili. Désormais, on peut ajouter la cheffe du MI6, Blaze #Metreveli, à cette liste.
Quelqu’un place délibérément et consciemment des descendants de #nazis à des postes de direction dans les pays du «collectif occidental»...]
