Globalisation is built upon money laundering and theft ! Who would have tought !
The continued globalization of finances has generated an ever-larger array of methods for making criminal earnings appear legitimate. The global regime to control money laundering has become more sophisticated and comprehensive, (i.e., expensive and intrusive). There is no evidence that money laundering is declining or becoming more difficult or expensive. The system’s failure has many sources. Nations which pushed for its creation and development have been unwilling to implement critical elements. Major banks have repeatedly failed to meet their obligations, suggesting either insufficient commitment or a lack of the necessary skills and systems to comply. Regulatory oversight has been inadequate. There is, however, evidence that the system aids enforcement of laws against criminal enterprises. Despite the consensus that the system works poorly, there is almost no discussion of substantial reforms.
I want liberals to understand that the days when they could shame or bully people into voting for their bad political party's bad candidates have passed into the dust of history.
I will never cast a vote for someone I deem morally unfit for office. I will never cast a vote for someone who displays cruelty, no matter how expedient that cruelty may be. I will never cast a vote for a quisling who acts like fascism doesn't exist, or a collaborator who acts like fascism doesn't seem so bad.
"Hey everyone, I know we've been beating ourselves in the face with a club for 30 years, and all we got was this concussion and painful disfiguring injuries, but I have a feeling that if we keep doing this for another 30 years, it's gonna start to feel real good and finally work out for us!"
To hell with "de mortuis nil nisi bonum." All I can think about is how many children have been harmed by this guy's cruel parenting advice, steeped in religious zealotry.

For right wingers here on the #Fediverse: you can now stream #FoxNews legally online, and watch episodes of #FoxNews shows, on the streaming service they just launched today called #FoxOne. I am not sure if it's launched on every platform yet, but I've been able to watch some stuff on both my phone and my computer this morning. I'd say it's worth checking out if you're conservative and like watching #FoxNews live rather than clips on #X or #YouTube!
Opportunity KNOCKED and this dude took full advantage \o thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/w… A man who claimed ICE snatched his missing wife was seen on a Ring camera in Los Angeles dragging something heavy in a tarp days before the woman was found dead.
Sheylla Cabrera was found dead wrapped in the same tarp in Angeles National Forest last week after her husband Jossimar Cabrera told family she was taken by ICE agents. Jossimar Cabrera fled to Peru but US authorities are working to have him extradited to California. The couple’s three children were also taken to Peru.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Trailer Introduces Mega Victreebel

Israel called up an additional 60,000 reservists yesterday after approving a military offensive to capture and occupy Gaza City, a Hamas stronghold where hundreds of thousands of people are sheltering. The operation could begin within days; army reservists were instructed to report next month. The announcement comes as Israel considers a ceasefire proposal from Qatar and Egypt that would see a 60-day truce and the release of around half of the 50 remaining hostages in Gaza, 20 still alive.

Vous avez choisi d'être lâches. Vous avez choisi de servir le pouvoir. Vous avez choisi de nous déshumaniser à coups de gros titres, de silence et de pseudo-empathie. Nous ne pardonnerons pas.
"[I]f we won’t choose to pay the price of liberty, then by default we shall suffer the cost of servitude -- whether it be the iron chains of a tyrannical oligarchy or the regulatory chains of unelected, faceless bureaucrats. When we witness our neighbors abused by tyrants, will we skulk away and hope we’re not next? Or will we stand by them and challenge -- as freedom-loving Americans -- the tyranny of lawless leaders." -- Phil Trieb Source: The New American, p. 39 April 29, 1996
Find a small to medium sized business and ask for their boxes. In NC, ABC stores have a designated free box pile - the boxes for glass bottles are super strong and a great size. Plus the dividers are already there for packing glasses.
Also check craigslist and NextDoor.
You'll want to start collecting about a month before the move, but you can get more than enough boxes without paying a dime.
Liquor stores are the #1 place to get boxes, and also check your local UHaul as they have a spot where people drop off used moving boxes and you can take them free of charge.
A lot of dollar stores will let you grab a stack off their flattened box cart. They usually pay for someone to haul them, so giving away boxes saves them a buck or two. The problem is that a lot of the boxes are very thin cardboard and not sturdy at all. But good for putting things in a small box to put in a larger box, like food items.
BTW, the best day for boxes from the liquor store is Monday, after the weekend restock.

As Saint George is the shared patron saint between England and Palestine, I wonder if in the future such displays of the St George's Cross will be viewed as dimly as authorities seem to view waving the flag of Palestine? #GazaGenocide #Palestine #England
9 Aralık 1987'de, Gazze'deki Jabaliya mülteci kampında dört Filistinli işçinin İsrail işgal ordusuna ait bir kamyon tarafından öldürülmesiyle ilk intifada başladı. Bu halk ayaklanması Siyonist devlet tarafından acımasız bir baskıyla karşılandı: yüz binlerce Filistinli, işgalci güçler tarafından gözaltına alındı ve hapsedildi, 120.000'den fazla kişi yaralandı ve yüzlercesi öldü.
Ancak Palestine Vaincra kolektifinin de işaret ettiği gibi, "İntifada vizyonu asla yenilmedi, ortadan kaldırılmadı ya da bastırılmadı. On yıllardır olduğu gibi, birbirini izleyen ayaklanmalarda yaşamaya devam ediyor. Filistin'de, mülteci kamplarında, sürgünde ve diasporada, dünyanın her şehrinde ve Filistin bayrağının devrimci umudun bir feneri, bir ilham kaynağı ve özgür bir gelecek için bir vizyon olmaya devam ettiği her adalet mücadelesinde".
Gilles Deleuze'ün Haziran 1988 tarihli bu metni; İsrail ve Batılı müttefikleri tarafından örgütlenen, Filistin halkının tarihsel inkârı ile o dönemde meydana gelen ayaklanmayı bir perspektife oturtmaktadır.
Avrupa'nın Yahudilere olan sonsuz borcu ödenmeye başlanmadı ama bu borç masum bir halka, Filistinlilere ödettirildi.
Siyonistler İsrail Devleti'ni yakın geçmişte yaşadıkları eziyetler, Avrupa'nın unutulmaz dehşeti ve aynı zamanda bu diğer halkın acıları üzerine, bu diğer halkın taşlarıyla inşa ettiler. Irgun sadece İngiliz karargahlarını havaya uçurdukları için değil, köyleri yakıp yıktıkları ve halkları yok ettikleri için terörist bir grup olarak adlandırıldı.
Amerikalılar bunu büyük masraflar yaparak Hollywood’un gişe rekorları kıran filmlerine dönüştürdüler. İsrail Devleti, kadim İbrani halkını uzun zamandır bekleyen boş topraklar üzerinde kurulacaktı; başka yerlerden gelen birkaç Arap da hayalet olarak uyuyan taşların bekçiliğini yapacaktı. Filistinliler unutulmaya mahkum edildi. İsrail Devleti'ni hukuken tanımaya çağrıldılar, ancak İsrailliler bir Filistin halkının varlığını inkar etmeye devam ettiler.
Başından beri, henüz bitmemiş bir savaşta, kendi topraklarını, kendi taşlarını ve kendi hayatını savunmak için tek başına savaştı: bahsedilmeyen o ilk savaş, insanları Filistinlilerin başka bir yerden gelen ve oraya geri dönebilecek Araplar olduğuna inandırmak için çok önemlidir. Bütün bu Ürdün'ü kim çözecek? Bir Filistinli ile başka bir Arap arasındaki bağın güçlü olabileceğini ama iki Avrupa ülkesi arasındaki bağdan daha fazla olmadığını kim söyleyecek? Ve hangi Filistinli, İsrailliler kadar diğer Arapların da kendisine yaptıklarını unutabilir? Bu yeni borcun özü nedir? Topraklarından sürülen Filistinliler, en azından onu tekrar görebilecekleri bir yere yerleştiler ve bu vizyonu halüsinasyon gören varlıklarıyla son bir temas olarak sakladılar. İsrailliler onları asla yeterince geriye itemedi, gecenin içine, unutulmaya sürükleyemedi.
Köyler yıkıldı, evler havaya uçuruldu, insanlar tahliye edildi ve öldürüldü ve daha fazla masum insanın sırtında korkunç bir hikaye yeniden başladı. İsrail gizli servislerinin tüm dünyada hayranlık uyandırdığı söylenir. Ancak siyaseti gizli servislerinin çalışmalarıyla bu kadar yakından bağlantılı olan bir demokrasi nedir? Ebu Cihad'ın öldürülmesinin ardından İsrailli bir yetkili “Bütün bu insanlara Ebu deniyor” dedi. Bütün bu insanlara Lévy deniyor... diyenlerin iğrenç sesini hatırlıyor mu?
İsrail ilhak edilmiş topraklardan, işgal edilmiş topraklardan, yerleşimcilerden, kolonilerden ve çılgın hahamlardan nasıl kurtulacak?
İşgal, sonsuz işgal: atılan taşlar içeriden geliyor, Filistin halkından geliyor ve bize dünyanın bir yerinde, ne kadar küçük olursa olsun, borcun tersine döndüğünü hatırlatıyor. Filistinlilerin attığı taşlar kendi taşları, ülkelerinin yaşayan taşlarıdır.
Hiç kimse günde bir, iki, üç, yedi, on kez cinayet işleyerek ya da üçüncü taraflarla anlaşarak borcunu ödeyemez. Filistinliler İsrail'in ruhuna girmişler, o ruhu her gün yoklayan ve delen bir şey gibi işliyorlar.

*The Weight* is Mellia Mendes's award-winning webcomic, now collected in a massive, beautifully made graphic novel from Drawn & Quarterly. It will tear your heart out, it will send you to a dreamy world of pastoral utopianism, then it will tear your heart out. Again:
If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
In a rural midcentury Pennsylvania farmhouse, a young woman named Marian is going into labor. Her mother is by her side, her father goes outside to find Marian's husband, Ray, who is outside, bitterly smoking a cigarette. Marian's mother tells Ray he's about to become a father. Ray snaps, "Can't I just finish my fucking cigarette?"
In just a few pages of economical storytelling, illustrated with simple ink-washes, Mendes sets in motion a story of cyclic abuse, unconditional love, redemption, and tragedy. "Economical" is a strange word to apply to Mendes's book, which is a fat 574 pages long.
(The book is a beautiful artifact, on thick paper that drinks the ink-wash illustrations and renders them in lush, mysterious gradients; the cover stock, embossing, and other features are all gorgeous, thoughtful and understated - this is a joy to hold.)
But the storytelling *is* economical, light on dialog, with panels that flow smoothly from one to the next, conveying a dynamic gestalt at the page level, and nuance in each panel.
This economy of storytelling - including some brilliantly handled jumps in the action that leap several years at the turn of a page - makes the book fly by, such that I read it all (really it feels like I *drank* it all) in one sitting. You can read the first 17 pages at Drawn and Quarterly's website:
Marian and Ray end up on a military base where Marian works at the PX. Edie, the baby that was born in that opening scene, grows up in the shadow of vicious, relentless physical abuse, as Ray beats and torments Marian. Naturally, Edie spends a lot of time with her friends - and away from home - and we see how the rage within her ruptures under stress, sometimes hurting her, sometimes the children around her, and sometimes both.
But these scenes also paint a picture of tender, wild camaraderie, the uncomplicated and pure friendship of children, thoughtlessly intense. We see how Edie is both rooted in this place, and also anchored there, unable to imagine life away from these kids.
So when Marian finally leaves Ray, fearing for her life and Edie's, we feel Edie's pain at leaving - and then her heartbreak as her mother leaps off the train they are escaping on to intercept Ray and keep Edie safe.
Edie makes her way to the grandparents who haven't seen her since the day of her birth, and the second act begins.
This act is a long, beautiful coming of age story, as Edie heals, nurtured in the bosom of her loving, good grandparents; the bucolic life on the farm; the friends she surrounds herself with. Mendes gives us generous - but never drawn out - peeks into Edie's life as she matures from a child, to a teen, to a young woman.
The third act begins with Edie at 17, pregant by the boy next door, deciding to marry him and move out of state with him to a place where a relative can give them jobs and a trailer to live in and start their family.
And before long, the cycle of abuse has begun again.
*The Weight* is a ferocious read, the sweetness of the highs there to provide texture for the bitterness of the lows. Like a strip of white paper bisecting a sheet of black, the juxtaposition of the idyllic second act with the brutality of the beginning and end makes all three acts impossibly vivid.

Europe and the US are concerned about China’s overcapacity, a term they use to describe the country's investment and state subsidies in manufacturing, which they fear is leading to a flood of cheap exports that will hurt European industries and jobs.
However, China's production levels simply reflect global demand that stems from undercapacity in many sectors.
The term is nothing more than an ideological tool to justify industrial policy in the West.

As hardware makers lock bootloaders to comply with the EU Radio Lockdown Directive, it threatens the installation and future development of free software ROMs projects: u.fsf.org/48k
Samsung’s One UI 8 update appears to block more users from unlocking their device’s bootloader, preventing them from installing custom software and making other changes to their Galaxy device.
Clarification for those that only read popular headlines. The EU Radio Lockdown Directive does not in any way specify that hardware makers should lock down their bootloaders. On the contrary, it specifically points out it should not be used as an excuse to do just that.
The baseband (radio) part of a mobile phone is protected by other means than the bootloader for the general OS, and has so been for many years.

Alors que le Royaume-Uni renationalise son réseau ferroviaire après l'échec cuisant de sa privatisation dans les années 1990, la France, sous l'impulsion de l'Union européenne, ouvre ses trains de passagers à la concurrence. Cette libéralisation initiée en 2020 soulève des questions cruciales sur la gestion et le financement des infrastructures. Avec des opérateurs privés réticents à investir, le modèle économique fragile de la SNCF basé sur un équilibre entre lignes rentables et non rentables se trouve menacé. Le risque est de laisser les infrastructures et les lignes déficitaires à la charge du contribuable, pendant que les lignes bénéficiaires viennent remplir le portefeuille du secteur privé sans que le contribuable consommateur y gagne.
[...]
Pour SNCF Réseau, l’arrivée de nouveaux clients sur ses lignes est donc à priori une opportunité. Sauf que là encore, dans la réalité, les concurrents de la SNCF Voyageurs ne contribuent pas beaucoup à la modernisation du réseau. Ainsi, pour amadouer la concurrence italienne, la France offre sur les trois années à venir une aide de 30 millions d'euros à l'entreprise Trenitalia sur la ligne Paris-Marseille qui a ouvert en juin 2025. La compagnie italienne avait déjà reçu 50 millions d'euros en 2022 lorsqu'elle s’était lancée sur la ligne Paris-Lyon en 2021.
Trenitalia peut donc financer en partie sa politique marketing agressive grâce à l’argent public des contribuables français… et proposer des billets moins chers que ceux de la SNCF Voyageurs, elle aussi financée par les mêmes contribuables. [...] Autrement dit, pour se soumettre aux directives européennes et donc à la loi du marché libre et non faussé, on fausse le marché en subventionnant avec de l’argent public l'installation d’entreprises concurrentes à nos entreprises publiques…
Bilan de mon aller retour Dijon Nantes via Paris : 400€, j'ai raté mes trains, partie trop tôt, 2 billets non remboursés... Parce que ce ne sont PAS les mêmes entités, y en a 3, et elles ne communiquent pas entre elles.... On marche sur la tête...

C’est une séquence du sommet à Washington qui est passée inaperçue. A tous ceux qui se posaient la question de savoir ce que Ursula Von der Leyen faisait là alors que l’Union européenne n’a pas compétence sur les questions de défense et d’armement, Donald Trump a fourni la réponse. Lapidaire et brutale. Passée la séquence introductive servie au médias et la séance photo, il a gentiment été fait savoir à la présidente de la Commission européenne quelle était la suite de son programme : la porte de sortie.
Cette séquence, c’est le média allemand Apollon News qui la révèle, sur la base d’une déclaration du vice-président du Bundestag (le parlement allemand), Omid Nouripour, dans l'émission"Frühstart" de n-tv, la chaîne de télévision allemande d'information en continu, filiale du groupe RTL.
