Ry Cooder - Election Special (2012)

Ry Cooder passa per un intellettuale, un ricercatore, un ottimo session man, del quale è universalmente conosciuta (e lui non ne ha certo fatto mistero) la fede “progressista”. Ma ha quell'aria un po' grigia, da “professionista”, che non ce lo fa immaginare in prima fila sulle barricate, al limite nelle retrovie a studiare strategie. E, invece, eccolo qua, in prima fila, a seguire le orme del suo mentore Woody Guthrie, l'uomo la cui chitarra era “una macchina che uccide i fascisti”, con questo “Election Special”, la cui data di uscita ha preceduto di poco la convention repubblicana, che avrebbe nominato sfidante di Barack Obama nella corsa alla Casa Bianca il mormone plurimiliardario Mitt Romney... distorsioni.net/canali/dischi/…

Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, has called for Barack Obama and former senior US national security officials to be prosecuted after accusing them of a “treasonous conspiracy” intended to show that Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election win was due to Russian interference.

She said Obama and senior officials in his administration had “[laid] the groundwork for … a years-long coup” against Trump after his victory over Hillary Clinton by “manufacturing intelligence” to suggest that Russia had tried to influence the election. That included using a dossier prepared by a British intelligence analyst, Christopher Steele, that they knew to be unreliable, Gabbard claimed.

The post-election intelligence estimates contrasted with findings reached before the election, which indicated that Russia probably was not trying to interfere. In extraordinary comments calling for prosecutions, she added: “The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government.

Zohran Mamdani’s campaign struggled to win “the Black vote.” That was part of the narrative that emerged after Mamdani’s surprising win in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary. Though Mamdani, a state assemblymember, decisively triumphed over his chief opponent, disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the young democratic socialist’s performance in majority-Black precincts proved to be a weak spot.

The so-called Black vote, in other words, doesn’t need to shake out the way it frequently has in the past; all indications are that it won’t.

Mamdani is the candidate that has shown he can seize on young voter enthusiasm — and with young Black voters, themselves no monolith, offering Mamdani an opening. True, some of these younger voters are moving toward the Republican Party, but it’s also true that young Black Democrats are more likely to hold more progressive views than their older counterparts.

Indeed, young Black voters appear to have gone decisively for Mamdani in the primary. According to one primary exit poll (with a small sample size), about 70 percent of Black voters under 50 voted for Mamdani citywide. There’s no reason to think he will lose that support in the general, and if he can continue to increase young Black voter turnout, he may not need the older ones.

Zohran Mamdani and the “Black Vote”

Mamdani struggled against Andrew Cuomo to win the "Black vote" — but his lackluster performance may not tell the whole story.

WASHINGTON – A federal judge blocked on Friday the enforcement of US President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting those who work with the International Criminal Court.

The ruling follows an April lawsuit by two human rights advocates challenging Trump’s February 6 order authorizing potentially far-reaching economic and travel sanctions on people who work on ICC investigations of US citizens or US allies, such as Israel.

In her ruling, US District Judge Nancy Torresen called the executive order an unconstitutional infringement on free speech. “The executive order appears to restrict substantially more speech than necessary to further that end,” she wrote.

Japanese diplomats told company risk officers that “you are on your own if you put significant assets in Taiwan”, said one person present at one of the conversations.

Foreign direct investment by Japanese companies — traditionally Taiwan’s third-largest source of FDI, after the EU and US — slumped 27 per cent last year to $452mn, and is down from a peak of $1.7bn in 2022.

Bypass Paywall Clean -call home

Having looked at various browsers and what calls they make, I noticed on Firefox and other android browsers that when Bypass Paywall Clean is installed from main source:
gitflic.ru/project/magnolia123…

It makes calls to gitflic.ru quite often wether using a bypass website or not.

Anyone know on what the calls are about and if they are legitimate and or what telemetry is being shared?
