Ukraine’s weapons #industry presses #government to allow #arms exports

source: https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-arms-industry-export-weapons/

“Imagine what it would look like? #Ukraine #exports its #weapons during the war while asking partners for #military #aid. Ukrainians would not understand, partners would not understand,” said a senior Ukrainian foreign ministry

Ukraine is currently one of the best places to test modern #warfare #equipment against a confirmed #enemy under real conditions at low cost. Just imagine if the war were to end, an entire #business model would collapse. Surely nobody could want that to happen when the arms industry is doing so well.

US Government Shut Down. Let's cease to pay salaries and benefits for all members of the Supreme Court and all Federal Judges. They can volunteer their services. Most of them are destroying America.
- Let's cease to pay salaries and benefits to the President and Vice President, and the heads of department they select. They can also volunteer their services. They're wealthy, millionaires, and billionaires with expensive estates.

- Let's cease to pay the salaries and benefits for members of the Senate, Congress and the House of Representatives. They can volunteer their services to America. Most all of them are millionaires and greedy pigs who continue to enrich themselves while they're in office.
When Trump takes office, it will be worse. Billionaires, millionaires, and all of them will be enriching themselves while harming poor Americans, and others. They should serve in their positions as volunteers. Like other government employees, they will be using their positions in the US government to get everything they can.
Pay salaries and benefits for ESSENTIAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.
Example: Musk, the richest man in the world, should not receive a salary and paid benefits. He's especially obnoxious. His position will be to destroy the lives and jobs of government employees. essential department, and programs.

Documents show Biden's State Department deliberately left Gonzalo Lira to die in a Ukrainian prison..‼️

#GonzaloLira, whose videos some of us watched, became a political prisoner who was #tortured to #death with the #support of the #US #government's Deep State. This was simply because he gave #information that was not in line with government #propaganda.

An American of Chilean descent (born in the US to Chilean parents), he knew in advance how he would end up. He even drew attention to a number of other political prisoners who had been killed by the Zelensky regime, and mentioned that if he did not report by a certain time, his fate would follow theirs...

On 11 January 2024, conservative American YouTuber Gonzalo Lira died in a Ukrainian prison. He was held there for the crime of #criticizing the #war and the American and Ukrainian governments.

A Freedom of Information Act request by Judicial Watch now shines a harsh light on the Biden regime's unwillingness to stand up for an American political prisoner in a Ukrainian jail.

The emails reveal that the US embassy was aware of the threat to Gonzalo Lira's life, but made no effort to help him.

After Gonzalo Lira's death, the embassy was primarily concerned with controlling misrepresentations and how to "strengthen press guidelines," to deal with the question "why didn't the U.S. government do more to help Mr. Lira?"

On July 6, he was released on bail and attempted to leave the country for Hungary on his motorcycle, posting a video along the way. On 1 August he was arrested again and imprisoned in a solitary confinement cell (SIZO) in Kharkiv.

In his videos, he has often criticized the mainstream media, the Ukrainian and American governments, specifically former Assistant Secretary of State for Political Affairs (2021-2024) Victoria Nuland.

Gateway Pundit filed a Freedom of Information Act request on January 15, 2024, four days after his death, for all communications regarding Gonzalo Lira's death between Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget A. Brink.

Eleven months later, the State Department is delaying that request and recently wrote that the request will not be completed until March 31, 2026.

The architect of Ukrainian politics, Nuland was widely considered a contender for the top post until the Lira affair broke. In September, Nuland joined the board of the Deep State front organization National Endowment for Democracy.

Meanwhile, Judicial Watch has filed a more general Freedom of Information Act request regarding the Gonzalo Lira case that does not specifically focus on communications between Nuland and Ambassador Brink.

The State Department released 769 heavily redacted pages to Judicial Watch in May, October, and November 2024.

Gateway Pundit received these documents from Judicial Watch and can exclusively report on the State Department's egregious failure to save Gonzalo Lira's life and subsequent attempts to misrepresent it.

The documents show that the US Embassy learned of Gonzalo Lira's arrest on 11 May via mail from the Ukrainian SBU secret police on 2 May.

"He is formally charged with violating Article 436-2 of the (Ukrainian) Criminal Code section "Justification, recognition as legitimate, denial of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, glorification of its participants."

In November 2024, Ukrainian opposition lawmaker Oleksandr Dubinsky claimed to have irrefutable evidence that Gonzalo Lira was murdered by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), TASS news agency reported.

"We have received irrefutable proof that US citizen and blogger Gonzalo Lira was tortured in a Kharkiv detention facility. He was beaten in the same way as I was in the Kiev detention facility - he was taken to a cell where they extorted money from him, in a very bad condition. When he made it public, he was killed," Dubinsky said on his Telegram channel.

Former Syrian #Prison Official Charged with #Torture

In that role, #Alsheikh allegedly ordered subordinates to inflict and was sometimes personally involved in inflicting severe physical and mental #pain and suffering on political and other prisoners.

Isn't that exciting? The American #justice #system knows exactly what torture is and can even convict foreigners for it. Unfortunately, it is blind with its own #military or with the #CIA, or can someone explain to me why nobody was punished for #Guantanamo? #Bush admitted to ordering torture after #911 and is still walking around free. This is not only a disgrace to the #legal system but also totally undemocratic, because in a #democracy all people must be equal before the #law.

Democracy at its best. If you can't present your invoices to the tax office, then you can expect heavy penalties but why should we keep our records, we are the government after all so trust us!

France in Deepening Political Turmoil After No-Confidence Vote Collapses Gov't

The French government has collapsed after leftist and far-right
lawmakers united to oust Prime Minister Michel Barnier in a
no-confidence vote Wednesday. The vote came amid intense opposition to
Barnier's budget proposal and its roughly $60 billion in spending cuts
and tax increases. It's the first time France's government has fallen to
a no-confidence vote since 1962.

French President Emmanuel Macron is addressing the nation later today.
Macron could ask Barnier to stay on as caretaker prime minister until he
names a successor. It's the latest defeat for the embattled Macron, who
faced fierce backlash after selecting the conservative Barnier as prime
minister in September instead of a progressive politician, despite a
leftist coalition winning the most votes in July's snap parliamentary
elections. Mathilde Panot of the progressive France Unbowed party called
on Macron to step down following the vote.

Mathilde Panot: "We are ready to govern on a program of change. Emmanuel
Macron must go. And we want to show any moment and we will demonstrate
that another world is always possible and that the only sovereign in
this country remains the people, and them alone."

When Two-For-One Isn’t Such A Good Deal

Some good thoughts on the mess this may create:

the so-called "Two-For-One Rule" executive order that Donald Trump signed in 2017 that would require all government agencies to eliminate two existing regulations for every new one they propose. If you're among those who believe Americans are over-regulated, which is virtually everyone, it sounds like a great way to get rid of pointless red tape. If you run a complex global business that needs a nimble bureaucracy as a partner it's a nightmare.

I can't believe all that it is written in that article, but I will need to think about some of it and will try to find some evidence for those claims:

One of the primary faults in the way our societies function is that the systems in place have all been designed to operate under the assumption that the essential cogs behave both morally and ethically. This is true for both the micro and macro levels, and is a consequence of the general illusion—or self-deluded wishful thinking—that we all live in a relatively ‘high trust’ society.

When it comes to analyzing the actions of government, political, and bureaucratic figures, one must always prudently start from the position that they are acting in an unethical, conspiratorial way against the best interests of the populace. It is a kind of tautology: corporate and governmental figures are corrupt because their goals and objectives conflict with those of the people, forcing them to pursue those goals in underhanded fashion; and they invariably counterpose the people in such a way because they are corrupt.

We see time and time again a kind of ‘theater’ when corporate or governmental officials are called to task. Whether it’s a Congressional grilling of Dr. Fauci, where soft balls are pitched and his answers taken to record at face value, or like recently, Visa and Mastercard execs being raked by a ‘fiery’ Josh Hawley:

#Trump fired his first minister before he took office. Trump thought he was no longer viable after it came out that he wasn't hitting on enough women. The guy was too woke.

Trump wants to sell #Poland to #Russia. The deal was arranged by Elon #Musk. In return, Russia will place more #advertising on #X.

Trump will shift all #government and official #communication to X. US citizens will have to buy X-Premium in order to communicate with the authorities. Trump confirmed these steps by saying that he is not interested in low-income earners anyway and that excluding them would make everything more efficient.

The Chinese #government has long banned the depiction of #LGBTQ+ relationships in movies and TV shows in restrictions that are part of broader media censorship policies enforced by regulatory bodies within the country.

The #game of the #series comes from China, so the world is allowed to see romance but not China 🤔
