LOS ANGELES, June 13 (Reuters) - U.S. Marines deployed to Los Angeles made their first detention of a civilian on Friday, part of a rare use of military force to support domestic police and coming ahead of national protests over President Donald Trump's military parade in Washington.

The detention of the man, a U.S. Army veteran and an immigrant who obtained U.S. citizenship, punctuated a series of highly unusual events that have appealed to Trump supporters but outraged other Americans who are demonstrating discontent in the streets.

We have been communicating on the lack of funds in the Foundation for a while now, the latest being here. And whilst we’ve been working hard to gather new members and are happy to see the number of logos increasing (thank you all for seeing the need for Matrix to stay independent and safe, and the value in supporting it!), none of the big players in the ecosystem have actually committed to one of the higher membership tiers, so we need to find other ways towards sustainability.

The sudden movement of Netanyahu’s aircraft comes just hours after Israeli forces reportedly launched strikes against Iranian targets, a move likely to further inflame an already volatile regional standoff.

While no official statement has been made by either the Israeli or Greek governments confirming Netanyahu’s presence on the flight, the aircraft’s status as Israel’s designated presidential jet has led to widespread speculation.

Kennard, co-founder of Declassified UK, a British investigative outlet, further raised the question of whether Greece is now providing shelter to a “war crimes fugitive”—a reference to the International Criminal Court (ICC) proceedings against Netanyahu.

Some European states have recently started using more critical language about Israel’s genocidal onslaught against Gaza, rhetorically distancing themselves from the US line. But their ongoing record of complicity speaks louder than their words.

Il Senato francese ha approvato una nuova legge anti-pirateria che apre le porte al blocco automatico degli indirizzi IP. Questa spinta legislativa è sostenuta da un accordo parallelo e “segreto” tra i detentori di diritti sportivi e i principali ISP, che mira ad automatizzare gli sforzi antipirateria e a semplificare le richieste di blocco diretto. I titolari dei diritti sperano che questi nuovi poteri contribuiscano a contrastare l'economia “mafiosa” della pirateria.

Le misure tradizionali di blocco dei siti, che impongono agli ISP locali di bloccare l'accesso degli abbonati ai siti pirata più popolari, sono state utilizzate dai titolari dei diritti in Francia per anni. L'obiettivo è quello di scoraggiare la pirateria rendendo i siti più difficili da trovare, ma queste misure sono solo parzialmente efficaci.

Più recentemente, le richieste di blocco dei siti hanno preso di mira altri intermediari. Ai fornitori di DNS, tra cui Google e Cloudflare, e a diversi dei maggiori fornitori di VPN, è stato ordinato di rendere i siti pirata non disponibili attraverso i loro servizi.

Customs and Border Patrol, the Coast Guard, and the Secret Service were all recruiting at the event, but ICE was the main draw. Far more applicants stood in line to submit their resumes for deportation officer than for any other position on offer in the cavernous room.

Naturally there were a large number of law enforcement types hanging around the convention—men with military fades, moisture-wicking shirts, and tattoos of the bible and the constitution and eagles and flags distended across their arms. But there were also a handful of women ICE applicants and a lot of men of color. The deportation officer applicant pool was, I felt, shockingly diverse—one might say it looked like America. The whole place looked and felt like America.

This is a disgusting country, I thought, irredeemable visually, psychically, morally, and ethically, and whatever is likable about our people’s warm patter does not in any way forgive what we have done to the world.
