While MEPs rightly condemn the appalling imprisonment by Russian authorities of journalist, and critic of the attack on Ukraine, Vladimir Kara-Murza, the European Parliament has never mentioned similar repression against Julian #Assange, Pablo Gonzalez or a host of others.
The inconsistent application of justice is not justice. By failing to be consistent and calling out repression by the United States, the West gives Russia illegitimate rhetorical justification for its own repression of journalists. The test of how much we uphold human rights is not how much we condemn the faults of others. It is in how we manage our own houses.

In 2016, #California passed SB1322 that decriminalized the acts of #prostitution for sex-workers under the age of 18 #CHILDREN.
Many traffickers usesex-workers under 18 years of age CHILDREN because it insulates them.
This law, coupled with SB203 (2020), makes it virtually impossible for law enforcement to engage withunder-aged sex-workers CHILD prostitutes to the point where rescue intervention is restricted.
In 2021, California passed SB357 that repealed the law that makes it a crime to loiter with intent to commit prostitution and applicable evidence is no longer enforceable, including dress and geographical location as a reason to investigate acts of prostitution.
Law enforcement can no longer use the misdemeanor crime of loitering to investigate and enforce the crime of prostitution.
Law enforcement can no longer solely use their expertise in identifying prostitutes through behaviors, even to make detentions of reasonable suspicion.

The #Columbia #Journalism Review held a conference titled:
"Democracy: A conference on building a democratic press"
Jose Vega decided to attend and inform them of his opinion on their atrocious reporting on #Seymour #Hersh, #Uhuru, Julian #Assange, Tucker #Carlson, #RussiaGate, etc etc....
Vega also called out the senior editors at the #NYTimes, #WashingtonPost, #LATimes & #Reuters for their failure to report on the facts of the #NordStream pipeline and their own complete lack of journalistic ethics.
"Journalists" at mainstream newspapers have, for several decades now, failed to report on the facts, preferring instead to regurgitate whatever narrative the #military-#surveillance-#censorship industrial complex wants to provide them.
All while pimping for #Pfizer and #Raytheon.
Then the Dean of #ColumbiaUniversity and security pushed him to the ground and tried to silence him.
because what's more #democratic than that?

TWITTER FILES #20:
The Information Cartel
"I have always understood "civil society" to mean "not the military."
The former exists to check the latter. So I was shocked to see the depth of collaboration.
For instance, "civil society" groups coordinating with #Pentagon officials in an "election tabletop" exercise.
Why?
Also startling: #Twitter emails and Slack communications suggesting heightened levels of data access for the #military.
Or military contractors like #Mitre being part of the Aspen Institute's "Information Disorder" report along with #NGO and academic colleagues.
In a functioning democracy there’s dynamic tension between #government, #CivilSociety organizations, news #media, and industry, all advancing their own interests, in theory keeping one another honest.
In the #TwitterFiles we find them all working together, cartel-style...... MORE

🇺🇸 A source within US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) said one of its divisions has been secretly working on a plan to quickly rebuild the Antonovsky Bridge in Kherson.
The bridge was often damaged by MLRS "Highmars", and was finally destroyed by Russian sappers after the withdrawal of RF troops across the Dnieper.
In December US engineers were ordered to create a plan to rapidly restore the crossing.
The Americans noted that the Russian decision to cover the crossing with the "body" of the bridge was very effective and can be copied.
New self-propelled barges were kitted-out to be combined with existing damaged barges, to connect the crossing into one line.
The Antonovskaya crossing will play a key role in the formation of a strategic stronghold on the left bank of the Dnieper

🔞🐷 This experimental artist is Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur.
On stage, he expresses his support for Kyiv by singing " Ukrainian Brothers " in Ukrainian. Wears a dress and black gloves to make it look more believable. To make it look like it's "unique".
The introduction was concluded with a precise gesture of wiping away a tear.
Although the video is not new, the message remains the same.

#Russian Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov’s remarks at the #UN #SecurityCouncil, New York, April 25, 2023
"The #USA and #Europe are unscrupulously speculating on the #Ukrainian issue, using blackmail and threats in an attempt to win the support of developing countries and thus distract them from problems in the Middle East and other regions of the Global South.
What they are trying to say is this: we will defeat #Russia and everything will settle down by itself.
Therefore, the crises that the developing countries have long been interested in settling fall victim to the double standards and colonial instincts of the West, which is obsessed with the selfish interests to dictate its demands to the whole world by ignoring the culture and traditions of other nations and making a mockery of international law."

Journalists showing war crimes
'This is allowed and legitimised. A completely terrorist state has been built on the territory of Ukraine. That wouldn't have happened if their Western curators hadn't facilitated it'. Adviser to the head of LPR Anna Soroka is telling about Kiev regime war crimes on the terrotiry of Donbass. The brutal suppression of dissent, the murder of Donbass civilians by their own government — Western media reported none of this. There are journalists who believe people in the West should have an opportunity to learn the true story behind this conflict. Watch the video to learn more about them.

Endless Wars = Endless Profits
Too many people don’t understand that the USA empire’s financial grift cannot continue to function without war.
This is why the USA empire has invested everything into manipulating our minds through mainstream media, celebrities and politicians towards supporting corrupt bankers war.
The money system is fake and built on genocide and human sacrifice. Without war the entire system falls.
Western “elites” profit heavily off of investing in both sides of wars and they profit in the rebuilding countries that these wars destroy. They did this even in WW2 knowing about the Holocaust. And every other war since.
It isprobably the most evil money grift you can imagine.

Hello Mao?
2023: The year of internationalization of #yuan combined with #dedollarization.
• #Yuan surpasses #US dollar in cross-border transactions in #China for the first time
• Yuan has surpassed the #Euro in global trade invoicing
• For the first time, liquefied natural #gas (#LNG) was sold for yuan (#UAE to China thru a #French company)
• #Putin said that he would ask countries in #Asia, Latin America etc. to pay for #Russia #oil, gas and other commodities in yuan.
Since China is the world's largest trading country -- and the #1 trade partner for 140 countries -- the internationalization of yuan was only a matter of time.
The Chinese government wanted to do it right and gradually. There are many variables to take into account -- geopolitics, banking technology, yuan strengthening excessively etc.
