Pres Biden likely knows #Netanyahu's goals, so he must revamp his IL strategy:
In the matter of IL, PS, & KSA, Biden's correct to believe a diplomatic AGT to end the war in Gaza, free hostages, restore pol rights to PA's, & normalize RELs b/w Tel Aviv & Riyadh would help stabilize both the region & -dom. pol outlook. Worthy goal -only reasonable one available for him to pursue. But it's undermined: IL & KSA are led by men who want Biden to lose the '24 elect-.
Atesh, a #partisan group in occupied territories, reported that a #Russian division has refused to join the assault on #Kharkiv A soldier from the division said that the Ukrainian border defences were strong and that he had seen Russian #sabotage and reconnaissance missions fail.
#Europe#Russia#Sabotage#Disinformation: "European intelligence agencies have warned their governments that Russia is plotting violent acts of sabotage across the continent as it commits to a course of permanent conflict with the west.
Russia has already begun to more actively prepare covert bombings, arson attacks and damage to infrastructure on European soil, directly and via proxies, with little apparent concern about causing civilian fatalities, intelligence officials believe.
While the Kremlin’s agents have a long history of such operations — and launched attacks sporadically in Europe in recent years — evidence is mounting of a more aggressive and concerted effort, according to assessments from three different European countries shared with the Financial Times.
Intelligence officials are becoming increasingly vocal about the threat in an effort to promote vigilance.
“We assess the risk of state-controlled acts of sabotage to be significantly increased,” said Thomas Haldenwang, head of German domestic intelligence. Russia now seems comfortable carrying out operations on European soil “[with] a high potential for damage,” he told a security conference last month hosted by his agency, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution."
"AIPAC is so confident in their position politically -laundering $1.7M in donations thru a "pro-science" PAC to defeat P Jayapal's sister.
314 Action Fund -describes itself as helping to elect “Dems with a background in science to public office,” is throwing its weight behind M Dexter -st rep & local dor. The news outlet Jewish Insider floated Dexter as a potentially pro-IL cand. before she entered the race."
#Sabotage de l'usine Volvic (63) le 1er mai 2024 :
"La gendarmerie fait état d'une "explosion".
Sur place ont été trouvés des tags revendicatifs, avec des messages écologistes comme "extractivisme de l'eau - nan mais à l'eau". L'incendie a également affecté le système électrique de l'usine."
2 Russian-born #Czech citizens ran a #hotel in #Greece that doubled as #SafeHouse for infamous unit of Russia’s military intelligence agency (GRU) as it carried out #bombings & #poisonings across Europe
Husband/wife Nikolay & Elena #Saposnikov ran Villa Elena, a 3-story hotel hosted members of #Kremlin's “most grimly accomplished #assassination and #sabotage squad,” Unit #29155, on a regular basis for the last 15 years.
"The “Algorithmic Sabotage” radically reworks our technopolitical arrangements away from the structural injustices, supremacist perspectives and necropolitical power layered into the “algorithmic empire”, highlighting its materiality and consequences in terms of both carbon emissions and the centralisation of control"
Today in Labor History March 16, 1968: Up to 500 Vietnamese villagers were slaughtered by U.S. troops in the My Lai Massacre. The story was broken by investigative journalist Sy Hersch, who also covered Watergate, the secret US bombing of Cambodia, CIA domestic spying within the US, and the US torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. More recently, he has written articles showing that Syrian rebel forces, not the Assad regime, contrary to US propaganda, were responsible for the sarin gas attack in Ghouta. And that the US, with Norwegian collaboration, blew up the Nord Stream pipelines between Russia and Germany (also contrary to US propaganda).
Today, we had a largish raid group of 11+ to take on an #OriginFormePalkia in - it turned out to be a good raid.
Just for fun, my strongest ditto was backing up my mega salamence who was in #1 position. Turns out that the ditto's shapeshift did not cancel out my salamance's mega form which was a happy surprise 😁
The multi-billion dollar #NordStream 1 and 2 pipelines transporting gas under the #BalticSea were ruptured by a series of blasts in the Swedish and Danish economic zones in September 2022, releasing vast amounts of methane into the air. #Russia#Ukraine
Today in Labor History February 19, 1990: After a 10-month strike, rank-and-file miners at the Pittston Coal Co. ratified a new contract. Ninety-eight miners and a minister occupied a Pittston Coal plant in Carbo, Virginia, inaugurating the year-long strike. While a one-month Soviet coal strike dominated the U.S. media, the year-long Pittston strike received almost no media coverage. The wildcat walkouts involved 40,000 miners in Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. Over 2,000 people occupied Camp Solidarity. Miners and their families engaged in Civil Disobedience, pickets, work stoppages and sometimes sabotage, vandalism and violence. Over 4,000 were arrested.
@isotopp@kubikpixel "In some cases, the nature of the error borders on deliberate sabotage, or, to put it another way, it could hardly be worse with deliberate #sabotage." 🥹
"Eine militante Gruppe hat die Stromversorgung des Tesla-Werks in Grünheide unterbrochen und damit die Produktion des Großkonzerns auf unbestimmte Zeit lahmgelegt."
"Wir, die „Vulkangruppe Tesla abschalten!“, sprechen nur für uns. Wir sprechen nicht für andere Vulkangruppen. Gleichwohl haben wir uns inhaltlich von den Aktionen anderer Vulkangruppen inspirieren lassen und greifen Formulierungen und Inhalte auf, die uns überzeugt haben. Wir teilen im Großen und Ganzen die Aktionen, die von Vulkangruppen seit 2011 verübt wurden. Soviel zu den vielen Spekulationen, die es zu unserer Gruppe „Vulkangruppe Tesla abschalten!“ gibt.
Wir sprechen auch nicht für die Bürgerinitiative in Grünheide, nicht für das Bündnis „Tesla den Hahn abdrehen“, nicht für andere Organisationen und Aktionsgruppen, die aus unterschiedlichen Beweggründen Tesla kritisieren, protestieren und Widerstand entwickeln. Gemeinsam ist uns die Absicht, Tesla Schranken zu setzen und die geplante Batteriefabrik und andere Konzernlogistik zu verhindern, auch wenn unser Ansatz weit darüber hinaus geht. Für uns ist das kein Problem.
Wir erkennen den großen Druck, dem sich einige Gruppen vor Ort nach unserem Anschlag mit seinen weitreichenden Folgen nicht haben entziehen können. Wir lesen viele Äußerungen als Verunsicherung und weniger als Distanzierung?.... ."
