The journalist investigated for a tweet - Andrew Doyle

#politics #baizuo #thoughtcrime #1984 #Kafka

Although Allison Pearson was initially informed that she had been accused of a “non-crime hate incident”, she was later told that she was being investigated for criminal activity under Section 17 of the Public Order Act 1986. This surely makes it even more sinister that she has not been given any details of the alleged crime. Note also the menacing correction of the officer who insisted that the “accuser” should be referred to as the “victim”.

The police investigation of Allison Pearson should be a watershed moment.

Giving meaning back to words in the post-truth era Fr

Almost all of France’s political class has switched over to Trumpism. Reality no longer holds sway, facts, truth and evidence are no longer of interest. Only the rewriting of facts counts: imposing “one’s” narrative.

Words like lynching and pogrom have a meaning, a history, a depth, which deserve to be known and studied, so that these acts never happen again. But such weighty words are not used lightly or to discredit a cause. If only out of respect for the victims. A few punches thrown at far-right hooligans used to brawling and glorifying genocide is not, and never will be, a lynching or a pogrom.

Redonner un sens aux mots à l’ère de la post-vérité

Dans sa quasi-totalité, la classe politique française a basculé dans le trumpisme. : imposer «sa» narration en parlant de lynchage antisémite

In short, the US spies on everyone, but their spying apparatus has been hacked by the Chinese. Who is the criminal here ? The US, of course.

your calls and texts can be monitored by Chinese spies

“It is much more serious and much worse than even what you all presume at this point,” Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark R. Warner (D-Virginia) said. “It is one of the most serious breaches in my time on the Intelligence Committee.”

The Chinese hackers, who the United States believes are linked to Beijing’s Ministry of State Security, have burrowed inside the private wiretapping and surveillance system that American telecom companies built for the exclusive use of U.S. federal law enforcement agencies — and the U.S. government believes they likely continue to have access to the system…

The Media and the Secret State

Image/photoharry haller wrote the following post Tue, 29 Oct 2024 00:07:08 +0100

“Unlike France, where secret service has always remained a less than respectable activity, consigned to the fringes of government, in post-war Britain it was at the very centre.” Paul Todd and Jonathan Bloch in their detailed analysis of global intelligence conclude that “Britain remains the most secretive state in the Western hemisphere.” (...) Significantly, from the 1980s onwards, a raft of legislation has both reinforced the secret state’s growing powers and protected it from probing media.

The 1989 Security Services Act (actually drafted by MI5 lawyers) placed the service on a statutory basis for the first time and provided it with legal powers to tap phones, bug and burgle houses and intercept mail.

The UK Press Gazette commented (6 September 1993): “The greatest invasion of privacy is carried out every day by the security services, with no control, no democratic authorisation and the most horrifying consequences for people’s employment and lives. By comparison with them the press is a poodle.”

The 1989 Official Secrets Act (OSA) replaced the 1911 OSA, which had proved notoriously cumbersome, particularly after civil servant Sarah Tisdall was jailed in 1983 for leaking to the Guardian government plans for the timing of the arrival of cruise missiles in England.

Then followed the acquittal of top civil servant Clive Ponting charged under Section 2 (1) of the OSA after he leaked information showing the government had misled the House of Commons over the sinking of the Argentinean ship, the Belgrano, during the Falklands conflict of 1982.

The 1989 Act covered five main areas: law enforcement, information supplied in confidence by foreign governments, international relations, defence,and security and intelligence.

The publishing of Ponting-style leaks on any of these subjects was banned. Journalists were also denied a public interest defence.

Nor could they claim in defence that no harm had resulted to national security through their disclosures.

The Intelligence Services Act of 1993 created the Intelligence and Security Committee which meets in secret to overview services’ activities, reporting to the prime minister and not parliament. Following the 1996 Security Service Act, MI5’s functions were extended to “act in support of the prevention and detection of crime.”

The incoming Labour government then moved to extend the powers allowing the intelligence services and other government agencies to conduct covert surveillance.

"overwriting" 😒
#1984

Opinion: Trump lied about mail-in voting. Now the GOP is spending millions to fix his mess.

"As President Trump has consistently said, voting by mail, voting early, and voting on Election Day are all good options,” said Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley, seemingly overwriting what the GOP nominee has actually said on the issue for the past four years.

You don't have to go back further than August to see what the former president has said.

"The elections are so screwed up. We have to get back in, and we have to change it all," Trump said at a rally. "We want to get rid of mail-in voting."

Frédéric Aigouy sur X : "#Flagrant_délit–

#Flagrant_délit–«A quoi sert la monnaie numérique?» : la réponse (très) gênée du gouvernement britannique

«Heu.. à quoi ça sert ?», répète laborieusement le numéro deux du Trésor James Bowler, visiblement pas préparé à cette question pourtant simple.

Et pris de court, d’avouer benoîtement:

«Il s'agit de suivre à la trace la réalité de la façon dont nous allons tous... heu… acheter, économiser et travailler avec nos biens.»

Pourquoi? Mystère, puisque cela n'est strictement d'aucune utilité au citoyen lambda.

«Mais... heu..., il s'agit d'être une économie.... heu... moderne.»

Heureusement parce qu'on aurait pu croire qu'un gouvernement totalitaire cherchait à mettre en place l'outil ultime d'asservissement des peuples.

The videos of Australian police beating protesters reminded me of IRGC and Basij in Iran.

But hey, no one dares to condemn those criminal police brutalities that are becoming the norm against antiwar, anti military and anti genocide protesters worldwide.

Ww have come to a whole new world. With fascism is now an acceptwd part of the "civilized west" when it comes to dealing with protesters.

Isn't it lovely to live in the free world?

We have all the freedoms in the world, aa long as we don't criticize Israel, capitalism, greenwaahed corporations and of course the 1984 style police state building up around us.
