Blinken Justifies Zelensky’s Decision to Cancel Ukrainian Elections

Secretary of State Antony Blinken made an unannounced visit to Ukraine on Tuesday (May 14) and delivered a speech where he justified President Volodymyr Zelensky’s decision to postpone elections.

Presidential elections were due to be held in March, but they weren’t, and Zelensky will remain in office after his term ends on May 20. Ukrainian parliamentary elections were scheduled to be held last year in October, but they were also canceled.

Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials have justified the decision by pointing to Ukraine’s constitution, which prohibits elections during martial law. Martial law was first declared when Russia invaded and has been extended since. However, at one point, Zelensky made it clear that he could hold a vote if he wanted to.

Last year, Zelensky said that he could hold elections if the US and other Western countries paid for them and if Ukrainian legislators agreed to amend the constitution. He later ruled out the idea and there’s been no pressure from Ukraine’s Western backers to hold a vote despite the claims that the proxy war is a fight for democracy.

In a speech at the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, Blinken said the US and Europe had been helping Ukraine build “democratic pillars,” including “free and fair elections,” but said a vote can only happen when the “conditions” are right.

...Covert forms of censorship are often far more effective than overt forms... harder to call attention to it.

Overt censorship such as removing accounts or hiding posts, can be called out and easily seen and verified by others...

Whereas more covert forms of censorship are, for example, shadow banning - or what Linda and Elon have rebranded to “freedom of speech, not reach” - throttling reach and putting you in digital containment is harder to draw attention to and generate the Streisand effect.

.…. Censorship hasn’t gone away. And if you challenge the foreign policy establishment in a way Elon or Linda Yaccarino or advertisers or Netanyahu… expect your reach to drop.

Elections in Ukraine will take place when all Ukrainians can vote, all of them.

— Blinken

So as long as Russia holds territories, there will not be an election, even if there is a long term ceasefire or peace.

Biden Moves Forward Over $1 Billion in Weapons for Israel as Tanks Push Deeper Into Rafah

The weapons package includes tank ammunition, tactical vehicles, and mortar rounds

The Biden administration has notified Congress that it intends to move forward with a weapons package for Israel worth over $1 billion as Israeli tanks are pushing further into the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

The arms package, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, includes $700 million in tank ammunition, $500 million in tactical vehicles, and $60 million in mortar rounds.

The arms could take years to deliver, but the deal demonstrates the US’s long-term commitment to arming Israel despite President Biden’s warning that he could stop supplying certain types of weapons if Israel launches a major attack on “population centers” in Rafah. It also shows Israel that any tank munitions it uses in Rafah will be replenished. Reuters reported on Tuesday that Israeli tanks had entered residential districts in eastern Rafah.

While the US says it put a hold on one shipment of 2,000-pound bombs, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Monday that the US was still committed to Israel and would make sure it received all of the $17 billion in new military aid that was recently approved by Congres. “We are continuing to send military assistance, and we will ensure that Israel receives the full amount provided in the supplemental. We have paused a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs because we do not believe they should be dropped in densely populated cities. We are talking to the Israeli government about this,” he said.

Initial reports about the delayed bomb shipment said a pause was also put on a shipment of 500-pound bombs, but US officials are now only mentioning the 2,000-pound bombs. When asked to clarify if there was a hold on both, the State Department pointed Antiwar.com to the above statement from Sullivan.

A Political Situation Is Still Possible Without These Propped up Puppets Like “Trump” or “Biden”.

The techno-feudal bankers have set up a nice system for themselves that distracts the American people and pits them against each other over very specific issues while they can continue to exploit us as we are unaware of their unified power. What is needed is a political party that actually unifies the citizenry in a common mission of taking on this common enemy. Only then can we go back to debating these specific issues like adults again.

We can see that it is natural for the people to want a savior- let us be honest with ourselves. We are all made differently: some born with greater propensity for sifting through the lies we are fed, some simply are not though they know that there is something wrong. To be one of the sheep and be misled to misery is truly no fault of the sheep, however, to be a shepherd and mislead your flock is a heinous crime. We are lacking in honest shepherds because they have been tricked into believing the task is too great for anyone to take on.

Remember, these oligarchs who manipulate our lives and rape our country are only human beings at the end of the day. Their power can be challenged. And, it must be, before there is nowhere left to run and "exit and build" because they will be sure to make it harder and harder for you to do this as time passes on. Victory is POSSIBLE.

Sweden is Open to Hosting NATO Nuclear Weapons

The Swedish prime minister said his country would be willing to host nuclear weapons during a war. The North Atlantic Alliance has a nuclear sharing program that has US nuclear weapons deployed in five countries. The Polish leader recently said he hopes Warsaw can one day join the program.

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Swedish public radio that Stockholm would be willing to host nuclear weapons during wartime.

“In a war situation it’s a completely different matter. It would depend entirely on what would happen,” he explained “In the absolute worst-case scenario, the democratic countries in our part of the world must ultimately be able to defend themselves against countries that could threaten us with nuclear weapons.”

Kristersson’s remarks came as Sweden hosted the leaders of Germany, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Iceland to discuss deepening military ties. ”For decades, we have lived very peacefully and without very big threats to Europe. Personally, I think these times are over,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said during the summit. “With all that we see from the Russian side, we are at the beginning of a new era. It would be wrong if we, as a government, said that you don’t have to deal with this in your everyday life.”

Sweden is the newest member of NATO. When Stockholm first requested NATO membership, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia would not object to the move unless more weapons were deployed to Swedish territory.

Revealed: UK Disinfo Unit Considered Placing Government Employees Inside Social Media Companies

Recently released minutes from the UK government’s Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU) governing board, the Disinformation Board, provide further evidence of the authorities’ direct involvement in monitoring online speech during the pandemic but also flagging it for removal.

But even this wasn’t enough for CDU, which in 2023, after several years of criticism and scrutiny by some media and privacy groups, got rebranded as the National Security Online Information Team (NSOIT).

One of the moves considered by top UK officials was to “embed” civil servants in companies running social platforms, and it remains unclear if this was in fact done, writes Big Brother Watch’s Jake Hurfurt for Public.

CDU was only one building block in the UK’s Covid-era censorship effort; several military units were enlisted to participate as well, most notably and controversially the 77th Brigade, whose job is supposed to be spreading misinformation, and in general, finding its “psyops” targets abroad, not at home.

NSOIT (CDU) also states that it is “countering disinformation and hostile state narratives.” But these and several other outfits, as well as private contractors hired by the government, were tasked with surveillance of British citizens and suppression of those seen as “Covid measures dissenters.”

Regarding the lengths to which the UK was prepared to go—specifically if officials actually got “embedded” in social media companies—this is unclear to this day thanks to the government’s refusal to provide access to reports compiled by Logically, a private company.

Barge Collides with Galveston Bridge, Causing Partial Collapse and Oil Spill — Gulf Intracoastal Waterway Shut Down

A barge hit the Pelican Island Causeway Wednesday (May 15) morning, damaging a portion of the bridge and causing an oil spill in the bay, according to the Galveston County Sheriff's Office.

The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway is being shut down as officials respond to this incident, County Judge Mark Henry said, adding that the oil spill is heading in that direction, so the U.S. Coast Guard decided to move forward with the closure.

The closure is a huge blow to operations as significant maritime commercial traffic uses the waterway along the Texas coast.

It also has implications for those on Pelican Island. It's located north of Galveston, with that bridge linking it to the city. It's the only way on and off Pelican Island.

All vehicular traffic is stopped.

🇮🇱👁‍🗨: DIA Intel Officer Latest in String of Resignations Over US Support for Israel

Internal strife is growing across the US government as Washington continues to assert support for Israel is ‘ironclad’

A former US Army officer issued a letter on 13 May explaining that his resignation in November was over his nation’s “unqualified support” for Israel’s war on Gaza.

Major Harrison Mann is the first known official at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to resign over the US support for Israel.

Speaking about the role of the DIA office, he notes that it not only overlooks but enforces the policies that enable unchecked violence against Palestinians.

His resignation letter cites "the nearly unqualified support for the government of Israel, which has enabled & empowered killing & starvation of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians...& encourages reckless escalation that risks wider war."....

Mann emphasized that his work brought him “incredible shame and guilt” after mulling over the connection of his position to the images coming out of Gaza.

“I hoped if I held on a little longer, the war would be over,” Mann wrote in justification for why he kept his position following the start of Israel’s aggressions on Gaza. “I hoped time and again that the latest ‘outrage’ would finally prompt a material shift in support for Israel.”

“Above all, I was afraid. Afraid of violating our professional norms. Afraid of disappointing officers I respect. Afraid you would feel betrayed,” he said.
