Nobel Prize for imperialist war and regime change goes to Washington’s Venezuelan puppet María Corina Machado
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has awarded its 2025 Peace Prize to the leader of Venezuela’s far-right opposition, Maria Corina Machado, an event that is as significant as it is sinister.
The award was announced on October 9 in Oslo, Norway, a country whose wealth, strategic role in NATO, and large military investments position it as a bulwark for imperialist interests in Europe and beyond.
The award provides a glaring demonstration of the hypocrisy of capitalist public opinion as it is marshaled behind another catastrophic imperialist intervention in Latin America.
There is nothing unprecedented about bestowing the peace prize upon far-right or blood-drenched figures. If “political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize,” as American songwriter, satirist and mathematician Tom Lehrer quipped in 1973, the award to Machado hammers another nail into its coffin.
In the years in between, the prize went to mass murderers and war criminals such as Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, the former Irgun terrorist responsible for the Sabra and Shatila massacres in Lebanon, and Aung San Suu Kyi, whose government was responsible for genocidal violence against Myanmar’s Rohingya minority. Barack Obama received the award in 2009, on the eve of launching a major military surge in Afghanistan and as his government was unleashing a wave of drone assassinations. Then as now, the prize served not as a reward to peacemakers, but as a tool for anointing those favored by imperialism and to legitimize war.

Listening to her interview on NPR was kind of wild
She had nothing but praise for Trump and defended the decision to bomb the boats in the Caribbean. Then she made a bunch of proclamations about accepting US intervention for enforcing regime change, and then advocated for doing the same in Cuba and Nicaragua
Once Maduro goes and we liberate our country, the Cuban regime will follow, the Nicaraguan regime will follow.And for the first time in history, for the first time in history, we will have the Americas free of communism and narco dictatorships
Ive heard a few people ask if she's a CIA asset, amd while I don't think it's appropriate to speculate, I can see why the question is asked. The American State Department has been trying to install western-backed regimes in central and south America since the cold war.
Part of the reason we even have narco states in the south is because of the decades long proxy battle happening there.
The Nobel prize has a weird amount of legitimacy for how often it backs western regime change
Cair calls on Nobel Prize winner to renounce support for far-right, racist and fascist parties
An American civil rights group on Friday called on the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize winner to renounce her support for Zionism and fascism, including over her links to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political party and right-wing groups in Europe.Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) said that they “strongly disagree” with the Nobel Prize committee’s decision to award the prize to Maria Corina Machado, who they said “delivered remarks at a conference of European fascists, including Geert Wilders and Marie Le Pen, which openly called for a new Reconquista, referencing the ethnic cleansing of Spanish Muslims and Jews in the 1500s”.

'Their resilience is a lesson to us all': The maritime lions hunting seals on the beach
So on the one hand, it's an amazing story of adaptability in the face of climate change:
"In 2015, the lions found the sea again and started hunting coastal prey on the beach, after a drought decimated their usual inland prey of ostriches, oryxes and springboks. "The seals were a blessing," says Van Malderen. "Climate change has pushed these desert lions to the edge, forcing them to adapt in extraordinary ways, to survive along the beaches of the Atlantic coast.""
OTOH - It's devastating for the seal population who likely had become accustomed to land being a safe haven from ocean predators.
"Van Malderen has watched Gamma grow up, first encountering the lioness when she was three months old. She is now three-and-a-half years, "almost an adult," she says, adding that the lioness has become a fearsome hunter capable of killing 40 seals in a single night."

What, a lesson to humans? To be able to go anywhere and eat anything? We're the global champions at that.
Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material, and have used fire and other forms of heat to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.They are apex predators, being rarely preyed upon by other species.
By using advanced tools and clothing, humans have been able to extend their tolerance to a wide variety of temperatures, humidities, and altitudes.[131][138] As a result, humans are a cosmopolitan species found in almost all regions of the world, including tropical rainforest, arid desert, extremely cold arctic regions, and heavily polluted cities; in comparison, most other species are confined to a few geographical areas by their limited adaptability.
The combined biomass of the carbon of all the humans on Earth in 2018 was estimated at 60 million tons, about 10 times larger than that of all non-domesticated mammals.

Satellites Are Leaking the World’s Secrets: Calls, Texts, Military and Corporate Data
Satellites beam data down to the Earth all around us, all the time. So you might expect that those space-based radio communications would be encrypted to prevent any snoop with a satellite dish from accessing the torrent of secret information constantly raining from the sky. You would, to a surprising and troubling degree, be wrong.
Roughly half of geostationary satellite signals, many carrying sensitive consumer, corporate, and government communications, have been left entirely vulnerable to eavesdropping, a team of researchers at UC San Diego and the University of Maryland revealed today in a study that will likely resonate across the cybersecurity industry, telecom firms, and inside military and intelligence agencies worldwide.

Peaceful protests fulfill a very important role: organizing people. and giving moral legitimacy to any "less legal" means of protesting such as blocking highways.
The peaceful protest is a very important part of the subsequent not so peaceful protest.
The western states have the sterilization of protest down to a science, granting permits along preestablished routes and promoting liberal reformist types as the "real" leaders as well as using other civilians as disruptors instead of going in with the cops as a first recourse.
Banning protests and going for naked repression is pretty much exactly how you get protestors gravitating toward organizations that aren't permit fetishists with NGOs.

Macron accuses rivals of fuelling instability as he dismisses calls to resign
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has accused rival political parties of fuelling instability as he brushed aside calls by the opposition for him to resign amid France’s worst political crisis in decades.
“Many of those who have fuelled division and speculation have not risen to the moment,” Macron said of French opposition parties, as he arrived in Egypt on Monday to attend a summit on Gaza. He said rival “political forces” were “solely responsible for this chaos” after they “instigated the destabilisation” of the prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu.
Lecornu, a Macron ally, held his first meeting with France’s new government after he appointed a mix of stalwarts from Macron’s centrist grouping, as well as a few faces from the upper ranks of the civil service and civil society. New arrivals included Jean-Pierre Farandou, who headed the state-run railway, SNCF, and is now labour minister.

UK, France and Germany unite to turn Russian assets into Ukraine aid, unlocking up to £250 billion for Kyiv
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/43902528
Archived[...]
In a move co-ordinated with France, Germany and the United States, Sir Keir Starmer said the UK was willing to unlock up to £25 billion of Russian money held in the UK for the war effort.
The decision, after months of talks among the G7 and other western allies, may release as much as £250 billion to Ukraine in tranches to fund weapons purchases and prop up its war economy.
In a joint statement with President Macron of France and Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor, Starmer said that the three leaders had agreed to “increase pressure” on Putin to counter his “stalling tactics and abhorrent attacks in response to peace talks”.
They said: “To that end, we are ready to progress towards using, in a co-ordinated way, the value of the immobilised Russian sovereign assets to support Ukraine’s armed forces and thus bring Russia to the negotiation table. We aim to do this in close co-operation with the United States of America.”
Starmer is also understood to have discussed the plan with President Zelensky of Ukraine. Downing Street said that the UK, France and Germany were “united in wanting to drive progress towards using the full value of the immobilised Russian sovereign assets to end the war”.

The UK is believed to hold more than £25 billion of Russian financial assets that were seized after the invasion of Ukraine [...]
Belgium holds €190 billion (£165 billion) worth of assets in Euroclear, the Brussels-based central securities depository, and France holds €19 billion (£16 billion).[...] under a plan being worked up by EU and G7 leaders, countries would issue up to €172 billion (£149 billion) in loans to Ukraine by swapping Russian cash linked to the immobilised assets for zero-interest bonds. Ukraine would have to pay back the loan only if Moscow paid war reparations, which is considered unlikely.
Instead of directly transferring the assets, they are using them as collateral for loans to strip the legal risk. The result should be indistinguishable as long as russia is eventually sentenced to pay reparations.

Israel refuses to release abducted Palestinian doctors, will not let foreign medics enter Gaza either
cross-posted from: ibbit.at/post/79582
Israel is continuing to force the collapse of Gaza’s devastated healthcare system, despite the supposed ceasefire – during which it has killed well over a hundred people through continued bombing and shooting.
Israel is refusing to release kidnapped Gaza medics
The occupation has refused to release doctors abducted during the genocide, such as Kamal Adwan Hospital’s Hussam Abu Safiya, kidnapped almost a year ago by Israeli forces after they destroyed most of the hospital and murdered many of its medical staff, and field hospital director Marwan al-Hams, abducted in July. Abu Safiya has been beaten, starved and repeatedly tortured in an Israeli jail. Soldiers also took Al-Hams’s daughter Tasneem, a nurse, last week.The colonial regime has also refused entry to international volunteer doctors trying to return to Gaza to help treat the wounded and starving during the ‘ceasefire’, as surgeons Victoria Rose and Graeme Groome explained during an interview yesterday:
thecanary.co/wp-content/upload…
Israel has murdered over 1,500 healthcare workers, some of those tortured to death in prison. Israel has over 350 healthcare workers abducted and being held in prisons, under inhumane conditions and frequent torture and violence. The occupation has destroyed or severely damaged all of Gaza’s hospitals and medical experts say that more than four hundred people a day in Gaza are dying from hunger and disease.

The Right's Secret Plan to Help Billionaires Buy Elections
I'd not heard about the Montana initiative. But it's not surprising ... it's an interesting state, politically, as the main throughline seems to be "leave me the fuck alone, and if others aren't hurting me, let them do what they want." You know, rugged individualism that we at once enshrine as the basis of the American spirit and also call "woke."
In a way, I'm glad Orwell didn't live to see how far short he fell with Nineteen Eighty-Four. We see Ingsoc fully formed, but the road there is left as an exercise for the reader.
The better analogy at this point is V for Vendetta.
On the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Roberts Supreme Court, one point of consensus persists: Most Americans believe money corrupts the political process — and they want to overturn the Citizens United precedent that empowers oligarchs to buy elections.And yet, in two little-noticed cases — including one spearheaded by Vice President J.D. Vance — the high court could soon do the opposite, eliminating the last restrictions on campaign donations and obstructing law enforcement’s efforts to halt bribery.
As we recount in our new book Master Plan, the Citizens United case was the culmination of conservatives’ 50-year master plan to deregulate the campaign finance system and legalize corruption. What started as an incendiary memo from soon-to-be Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell became one ruling equating money with constitutionally protected speech and another extending personhood rights to corporations.

People have been dropping the preceding adjective. It used to be that temp bans were handed out for first violations or accumulated minor violations, with the severity of the violation dictating whether it was a temporary ban of hours, days, weeks, or months.
Really egregious violations, or a pattern of temp bans not changing the users behavior would trigger a permanent ban.
I also hate the use of “ban” alone to mean temporary. The default use of “ban” should, does, mean permanent. If it’s temporary, it should be specifically conditionalized as such. I don’t really know when this started or how we got here, but it’s fucking annoying.

ArchivedUK: Foreign Secretary says China does pose security threat to Britain, says she is ‘deeply frustrated’ at collapse of spy trial after Labour refuses to call Beijing an enemy
[...]
Yvette Cooper admitted the UK faced a “whole series” of risks from Beijing, days after the chief prosecutor said a case against two alleged spies collapsed because the Government had failed to brand China a threat to national security.
[...]
Ms Cooper was asked whether, during her time at the Home Office, she saw a dossier outlining the fact that China had frequently been referred to as a threat to Britain’s national security.
She told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “Let me be clear that we know China poses threats to UK national security from things like transnational repression and espionage to hostile cyber activity as well, and we have said so.
“And they also of course are a trading partner and they are a crucial partner in the process for example on tackling climate change. But I am deeply frustrated about this case because I of course wanted to see it prosecuted.”
[...]
Christopher Cash, 30, and Christopher Berry, 33, had been accused of passing foreign policy information to a high-ranking member of the Chinese government, charges that were denied by both men.
A Whitehall investigation into Chinese spying was also suppressed by Jonathan Powell, the national security adviser, after lobbying from the Treasury.
[...]
China sceptics have long called on successive governments to formally shift their diplomatic stance and call China a threat to reflect concerns around security, surveillance and human rights abuses.
[...]
Chinese state-backed hackers targeted the Electoral Commission and accessed the voting records of 40 million people from August 2021. The breach was not identified until more than a year later.
China was also blamed for hacking the Ministry of Defence in May 2024, with hackers gaining access to payroll information including bank details, names and addresses.

Humans naturally seek belonging, and almost any group can fulfill that need. Many such groups also use "us vs. them" rhetoric, which can make you feel more special than you actually are. Feeling special is another human need that groups often fulfill. Humans crave direction and purpose, and most groups provide both.
Just look at religious groups, environmentalists, political ideologies, conspiracy nuts and racist to see what I mean.

Depending on the wording of the return policy, you might even be able to request one and tell them the reason is "The far right has taken over the world's biggest government and they're snatching people in the streets. The time to hide support for them behind 'everyone's welcome to their opinion' is over. If at this moment in history you're not willing to exclude far-right people from your circle, then go fuck yourself, fuck your hardware, give me my money back, in hindsight people should have done this to BMW and IG Farben both before and after the war. I hope you wake the fuck up. You will not be safe indefinitely from them coming for you, unless people braver than yourself stop them before they reach you."
Usually I am against bullying people into saying the political views or taking the political decisions you want them to take. You can think they're wrong about this (as obviously do I, for the reasons stated above) and say so without needing to try to strong-arm them. But, in this case, fuck 'em, for the reasons stated above. Read the return policy first of course to make sure you're on solid ground, I don't really know what it is.
