So Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins have been allowed back on Twitter... At now of all times. Could you be any more transparent? ๐Ÿ˜

Yet again, exquisite projection from the Mengele demonizers..

I have also just heard that the one person who visited Christopher Gibbons at Elmley has also been barred. This was notified in a letter to Gibbons' mother who relied on this man to accompany her on the rare occasions (due to her health problems) she feels able to visit her son.
They did not give a reason, but gave contact details for if she wanted more information. I dread to think what they have in store for Ty since they took Ash's letter away when they raided his cell.
You see, there's no published rule that one is not allowed to circulate a letter such as Ash's, and to forward it or any other purely comradely and legal documents to the captives.

It's like Twitter: If there is a rule then tell us the exact rule so we can adhere to that.

What they want is a panopticon where you are supposed to never know whether you're watched and what the rules are, so you creep around on eggshells and be ultra quiet and obedient.

Fuck that.

And fuck the gatekeeper types who say we should "just stop;" they can quite simply go to hell. Go back to baking cakes and arranging pebbles on the beach.

JUST IN - Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in Saxony-Anhalt has been officially classified as a "right-wing extremist group" by the state's domestic security agency.

A few days ago, the AfD party scored higher than the CDU in Saxony-Anhalt for the first time, according to an INSA poll.

We need more participants - visitors and writers - and more contact details of captives - bigger list.
I haven't received any letter banning me from visiting any prisoner. I rather wish I did because it means I have a paper trail to begin the long march to challenge such arbitrary bullshit. Courts love documentation and they demand it. Please please put on paper your prohibition of me visiting my friends and I will start the process of hammering you into the ground.

Sorry Tom, but there is no such thing as "higher culture," there is simply culture spread across several dimensions.

It is no mere add-on but central to our existence.

Every artwork is a machine and can be understood as such and reverse-engineered.

Art serves a number of purposes - some of it can be described as "munitions."

Other artworks are expressions of sublime beauty, and the intended response is pure joy.

I have much more to say on this subject, and many examples, but it will have to wait until the launch of my next project.
The age of battleships, of huge naval vessels that blast away at each other with cannons, ended some time in WW2 when aircraft could fly from a carrier over the horizon and dive-bomb your battleship.

The age of aircraft carriers will end on the day that the first one, along with its planes and thousands of troops, is sent to the bottom of the Mediterranean or Persian Gulf.

Organiser of Saturdayโ€™s pro-Palestine march is Jewish. Best way of keeping it kosher is to be at head of itโ€ฆ
I received this letter yesterday. It only mentions phone and mail, not visits.
The letter above is incorrect when it states "Ongoing communication with clear Extreme Right Wing rhetoric throughout."

I wrote Ash a letter and he replied with the letter previously published here. We have not communicated on the phone or in person. I also sent a couple of e-mails (I'd need to check how many). I hardly mentioned politics since it has been my policy to focus on day to day matters.
From the horse's mouth:

"UK Chief of General Staff Patrick Sanders said the nearby presence of British forces aims to deter Iran from joining the war between Israel and Hamas. "

Translation: The UK military is there to shield the IDF from outside interference while it conducts its genocide in Gaza.

Is that why we have a military?

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง UK Special Forces Training In Lebanon For Potential Gaza Entry

๐Ÿ’ฅ Elite UK forces have been undergoing training in Lebanon to prepare for potential โ€œrescue missionsโ€ aimed at retrieving British citizens held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. 

๐Ÿ’ฅ UK Chief of General Staff Patrick Sanders said the nearby presence of British forces aims to deter Iran from joining the war between Israel and Hamas. 

๐Ÿ’ฅ The UK general added that London seeks to reassure allied countries and launch โ€œhumanitarian operationsโ€, such as aid delivery and the establishment of field hospitals. 

๐Ÿ’ฅ At least 12 UK nationals were reportedly killed during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on 7 October, and five are being held prisoner by the Gaza resistance.

I still can't get over the fact, that hits me over and over, that nearly everyone wants to stay in their individual silos and the most they'll do is complain about the world burning down.

Bush lawyer here again..

Assange's confinement in a Category A prison (Belmarsh) is clearly political and has nothing to do with security. There has to be a way to challenge that on human rights grounds.

Law is based on precedent and even the precedent of prying a prisoner out of a max security prison into a common prison would be a victory.

Here's the thing:

The heightened security is not to:

1. Prevent escape
2. Prevent violence

It is to:

1. Prevent the prisoner from talking to and gaining an audience with other prisoners.
2. Prevent the prisoner from talking to outsiders and gaining an audience at large.

Which is to say, ultimately it is to avoid embarrassment to, and political pressure on, the government and to prevent political change.

That dynamic must be unwrapped and "explained" to as wide an audience as possible.

I put explained in quotation marks because it is not necessarily a dialectic, but might take the form of slogans, simple propaganda repeated often. chorus line of a song, or the immediacy of a Stonetoss-style cartoon.
Favourite headline of the week:

"brawl outside... Museum of Tolerance"

Remember that scene from The Ascent of Man when the goblin host wades into a pond supposedly where human ashes had been flushed, picks up a handful of mud and says, "we must grasp tolerance."

Hilarious.
