Thank you to the American authorities for finally setting Assange free. I understand some of you wanted to punish him for much longer & in potentially more draconian ways; it is to your credit that you have relented.
Thank you to the Australian authorities for working with the American authorities in this matter & thank you to British authorities for keeping Assange alive & for any contributions you have made towards his emancipation.

Mint Sauce and the Germans — 40% German https://40percentgerman.com/home/2020/7/24/mint-sauce-and-the-germans-ggpd9-8hxsm-kt62x
The topic of British food is always one Germans enjoy, and my friend laughed at the confirmation of their bias about how terrible it can be. They leaned forward, and through the laughs they jokingly asked ‘Did you put mint sauce on it too?’. I smiled politely then quickly changed the subject.

How Britain stole $45 trillion from India
And lied about it.
There is a story that is commonly told in #Britain that the colonisation of #India – as horrible as it may have been – was not of any major #economic benefit to Britain itself. If anything, the administration of India was a cost to Britain. So the fact that the #empire was sustained for so long – the story goes – was a gesture of Britain’s benevolence.
New research by the renowned economist Utsa Patnaik – just published by Columbia University Press – deals a crushing blow to this narrative. Drawing on nearly two centuries of detailed data on tax and trade, Patnaik calculated that Britain drained a total of nearly $45 trillion from India during the period 1765 to 1938.

Bodies of foreign aid workers killed in Israeli strike leave #Gaza
The strike late on Monday night hit a #convoy of three vehicles and killed seven staff of the aid group World Central Kitchen (WCK), including citizens of #Australia, #Britain, and #Poland, a dual citizen of the United States and #Canada as well as a Palestinian colleague, who was buried at his home.
Why do we suspect that the international press is only upset because Western people have been reddened?
Baku Television: We are sitting here, we are monitoring the developments in #Iran and we are carrying out our information war. Iran and Russia are biggest obstacle to form greater #Azerbaijan. #Armenia is just following them.
Iran should not think that tomorrow when our relationship with Russia breaks down, it can take us back to Iran. We are not alone, apart from #Turkey, our brother Israel is by our side, Shalom #Israel. Also great #Britain back us, whether Boris Johnson is a Turk or not, British Petroleum company will help us.
UK Court Issues Weird Assange Decision, Leaving Him in Limbo Again
This is hardly a big win.
The #UK just keeps trying to kick this can, while #Julian continues to #rot in #prison.
Reuters:
#WikiLeaks founder #JulianAssange’s #extradition to the #UnitedStates from #Britain was put on hold on Tuesday after London’s High Court said the United States must provide assurances he would not face the #death #penalty.
U.S. prosecutors are seeking to put #Assange, 52, on trial on 18 counts, all bar one under the #EspionageAct, over WikiLeaks’ release of confidential U.S. military records and diplomatic cables.
After Britain gave the go-ahead for his extradition last year, Assange’s lawyers in February launched a final attempt in the English courts to challenge that decision... continue reading

@kuchinster@hub.hubzilla.de wrote the following post 2 years ago.
As a result of the wars unleashed by the U.S. after September 11, 2001, 38,000,000 civilians were displaced.
This is the second highest result in world history. Only World War II resulted in more refugees.
Direct military aggressions, the so-called "war on terror" which led to the creation of ISIS, and economic strangulation have all led to disastrous consequences for the people of a number of states in the Middle East and North Africa, forcing ordinary people to flee their homes, cities, villages and states to other countries.
According to a report https://t.co/MLXyekTZTQ by the Watson Institute for International Studies (an interdisciplinary research center at Brown University, Rhode Island, USA) and with the assistance of Boston University:
- #Afghanistan - 5.9 million refugees
- #Pakistan - 3.7 million refugees
- #Yemen - 4.6 million refugees
- #Somalia - 4.3 million refugees
- #Philippines - 1.8 million refugees
- #Libya - 1.2 million refugees
- #Syria - 7.1 million refugees
The report is based on data from 2001 to 2020 + some data collected in 2021.
It is based on the UN data, U.S. documents and information from public sources.
However, the report itself states that 38,000,000 is a very conservative estimate and in reality, the figure can reach from 49,000,000 to 60,000,000, which actually reaches the figures of World War II.
...
To these processes can be added the huge number of refugees from #Ukraine after the U.S.-backed coup d'état and civil war that broke out there.
