Wasservitalisierer sind Gerte aus dem esoterischen Bereich, welche im hheren vierstelligen Betrag zu kaufen sind und die Benutzer zur Bestrahlung von Krper, Getrnken und Gegenstnden verwenden. Die Behandlungen dauern 10-15 Minuten und z.T. auch lnger. In Deutschland sind ca. 2500 Gerte, in der Schweiz ca. 250 Gerte im Einsatz. Sie sind in der Funkersprache Sender (TRX) im 2m Band im Frequenzbereich von 144.010 bis 144.040 MHz zu finden und haben keine CE Zulassung. Sie strahlen je nach Gert auf leicht unterschiedlichen Frequenzen (nicht ganz stabil) mit ca. 20W aus und stren so den UHF Bereich. In Deutschland sind sie verboten, in der Schweiz noch nicht, resp. sie werden idR, wenn man sie gefunden hat, vom BAKOM beschlagnahmt. Wenn diese Wasservitalisierer in ca. 3-4 km Entfernung sind, kann deren Signalstrke S9+60 dB sein. Sind diese Wasservitalisierer etwas weiter weg, nimmt natrlich der Empfangspegel ab (Power of Arrival, POA) ab.

Gute Nachrichten! Nein, diesmal wirklich! Alternativlos ... "IndyWatch Feed Europe"

Gute Nachrichten! Nein, diesmal wirklich! Alternativlos 51 ist fertig!

Eine der hufigsten Zuschauer-Anfragen an uns ist seit Jahren, nochmal zum Wendelstein 7-X zu fahren. Das haben wir jetzt endlich gemacht, und das Ergebnis sind knapp zweieinhalb Stunden.

Die Gesprchspartner waren sogar dieselben wie bei Sendung 36 damals.

In dem Zimmer, in dem wir aufnahmen, lief eine Klimaanlage, die leider nicht nur ein konstantes Spektrum zugemllt hat, sondern deren Jamming sich im Spektrum hoch- und runterbewegte. Frank hat in einer heroischen mehrtgigen Aktion das Audio gefiltert. Man hrt daher im Endprodukt kaum was davon. Aber ihr knnt uns glauben, dass das viel Arbeit war.

Es gibt noch eine winzige technische Neuerung: Ich habe Vorbis rausgeschmissen. Jeder, der Vorbis kann, kann jetzt auch Opus.

Und dann gibt es noch eine grere technische Neuerung: Ich habe mich mal reingearbeitet, wie man bei HTML5-Audio-Elementen herumspringen kann, damit ich eine Timeline mit Links haben kann. Das ist leider nur per Javascript verfgbar, jedenfalls soweit ich wei. Wer wei, wie man das ohne Javascript macht: Bitte bei mir melden.

Inhaltlich wollten wir natrlich vor allem drei Fragen klren: Wo bleibt das Fusionskraftwerk, das uns alle retten wird? Was dauert denn da so lange? Wie teuer wird es?

Die Frage nach dem Geld erscheint in Zeiten, in denen Habeck ohne Baugenehmigung ein LNG-Terminal bauen lsst, eher zweitrangig, aber das will wahrscheinlich der eine oder andere trotzdem wissen.

Hier sind die Antworten:

Das msste mal jemand bauen, das Fusionskraftwerk.
Die Risiken sind rein wirtschaftlicher Natur.
Man knnte morgen anfangen, wenn man wollte, und in 5 Jahren fertig sein.
Eine realistische Kostenschtzung wre so um die 20 Milliarden Euro.

Frank findet ja, solche Projekte sollte man nicht in Euro sondern in F-35 abrechnen, weil Fuballfelder nicht passen. Kanada zahlt pro F-35 umgerechnet 300 Mio Euro, d.h. wir wren bei 66 F-35 fr ein Fusionskraftwerk. Und das wre der Prototyp, die Nachfolger wren billiger. Der Markt regelt das leider nicht, weil der Markt an Profitmaximierung interessiert ist, und daher erst einsteigt, wenn der Steuerzahler das Risiko bernommen hat. Daher ist hier die eigentliche inhaltliche Botschaft: Wenn wir JETZT 20 Milliarden in die Hand nehmen, und das richtig mit Verve angehen, ist das erste Kraftwerk noch in diesem Jahrzehnt fertig. Allerdings, auch wichtig: Das wird uns nicht retten. Retten wird uns, dass wir die ganze Zeit auch die Erneuerbaren ausbauen und hoffentlich auch mal jemand in Energiespeicher investiert.

New Zealands First Microcomputer May Be This 1802 "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Hardware hackers of a certain age likely got started with microcontrollers via the RCA 1802 a relatively easy-to-use processor that was the subject of several excellent articles in Popular Electronics magazine back in the late 1970s. [Als Geek Lab] has an interview with [Hugh Anderson], who saw the articles and eventually designed the HUG1802, which may be the first microcontroller kit designed and sold in New Zealand.

The 1802 was very attractive at the time since it was inexpensive, static, didnt require exotic voltages, and had a DMA system that allowed you to load software without complex ROMs. He initially marketed a kit unsuccessfully until an Australian company convinced him to create a proper PC board the resulting kit was sold to about 100 customers.

The HUG1802 reminded us somewhat of the Quest Super Elf since it had a keypad, a cassette interface, and even a TV output. The 1802 had a DMA-enabled chip that made crude memory-mapped video output. The computer eventually morphed into the ETI 660, which they talk about at the end of the interview.

A lot of people built 1802 computers back in those days. If you dont have an 1802, but you have an Arduino ell, theres always emulation.

World BEYOND Wars Bicycle Peace Caravan in Hiroshima City During the G7 Summit "IndyWatch Feed War"

By Joseph Essertier, World BEYOND War, May 24, 2023

Essertier is Organizer for World BEYOND Wars Japan Chapter.

Today Hiroshima is a city of peace for many people. Among those who are citizens of Hiroshima, there are people (some of them hibakusha or A-bomb victims) who have constantly made efforts to warn the world about the dangers of nuclear weapons, promote reconciliation with the victims of the Empire of Japan (18681947), and cultivate tolerance and multicultural living. In that sense, it truly is a city of peace. On the other hand, for many decades, the city was a center of military activities for the Empire, playing major roles in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-95), the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05), and the two World Wars. In other words, it also has a dark history as a city of war.

But on 6 August 1945, President Harry Truman, who called the city a military base, dropped a nuclear bomb on people there, mostly civilians. Thus began what could be called our species nuclear war threat era. Soon after that, in a few decades, with other states jumping on the nuclear bandwagon, we arrived at a point in our ethical development when we faced the threat of nuclear winter for all humanity. That first bomb was given the sad, toxic-masculinity-sick name Little Boy. It was small by todays standards, but it turned many beautiful human beings into what looked like monsters, immediately brought incredible pain to hundreds of thousands, instantly destroyed the city, and ended up killing over one hundred thousand people over the course of a few months.

That was at the end of the Pacific War (1941-45) when it was recognized that the United Nations (or Allies) had already won. Nazi Germany had surrendered many weeks before (in May of 1945), so the Imperial Government had already lost its main ally, and the situation was hopeless for them. Most of Japans urban areas had been flattened and the country was in a desperate situation.

Dozens of countries were allied to the U.S. through the Declaration by United Nations of 1942. This was the main treaty that formally established the Allies of World War II and that became the basis for the United Nations. This treaty had been signed by 47 national governments by the end of the War, and all those governments had committed themselves to using their military and economic resources to defeat the Empire. Signers of this Declaration pledged to fight until there was a complete victory over the Axis powers. (This was interpreted as unconditional surrender. That meant that the United Nations side would not ac...

Russian vessel attacked by Ukrainian sea drones off Bosporus MOD "IndyWatch Feed War"

RT | May 24, 2023

The Russian Navys reconnaissance ship, Ivan Churs, has been attacked by three unmanned speed boats launched by the Ukrainian military, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.

The vessel was targeted early in the morning by the drones in Trkiyes exclusive economic zone, some 140km (86 miles) to the northeast of the Bosporus Strait, the ministrys spokesman, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, said during a daily briefing.

The ship was patrolling areas near the TurkStream and Blue Stream natural gas pipelines, Konashenkov noted, adding that the naval patrols were deployed after the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last September.

All of the enemy boats were destroyed by fire with the onboard weapons of the Russian ship, the spokesman added.

The military shared footage of the incident, showing a small, black speedboat coming under large-caliber gunfire. The vessel suffers a direct hit and explodes, leaving a plume of black smoke on the water.

La travesa de la niez en la Montaa "IndyWatch Feed Noramerica"

Yuu Timi se asoma entre la niebla de las maanas. Las nubes duermen todas las noches sobre el poblado, buscando el calor de la gente de la lluvia. En los primeros rayos del sol la niebla se levanta muy despacio enrollando sus sbanas, y al mismo tiempo va dejando estelas blancas de roco que humedecen el tejado, las lminas y los cerros que se alzan hasta las nubes. Pasan los minutos y un ligero vapor blanquecino sube a los rboles, pero se esfuma rpidamente. Al fondo, sale el humo negro de las casas con el olor a encino, soltando las cenizas en el cielo. A lo lejos an siguen las sombras sobre algunos cerros, en otros slo un hilo de sol golpea las arboledas.

ngel, Lourdes y Floricelda, los ms pequeos de ocho hermanos y hermanas, dejan el sueo a las cinco de la maana, cuando las nubes an dormitan sobre el pueblo, para ir a la escuela. La mam, Estela, empieza a darle vuelta al molino de mano que con mucho trabajo compraron, mientras el fogn espera su turno porque despus de pasar la masa en el metate las tortillas se cocen en el comal caliente; pone un poco de caf para que sus nios puedan remojar la tortilla, porque en temporada de seca no hay nada de quelite para comer, es ms, si no fuera por el roco de la niebla los animales moriran de hambre.

A las 6 de la maana se ponen la mejor ropa que tienen, Miguel una camisa blanca de manga larga, Lourdes una blusa azulada y Floricelda una blusa rosita. Los ms grandes se baan con el agua fra que casi corta sus cartlagos, en cada jicarazo sale el vapor de sus cuerpos. La ms pequea slo se lava el rostro y se pasa el peine para alisar su cabello.

The Fight To Free Julian Assange, with Kevin Gosztola "IndyWatch Feed World"

The MintPress podcast The Watchdog, hosted by British-Iraqi hip hop artist Lowkey, closely examines organizations about which it is in the public interest to know including intelligence, lobby, and special interest groups influencing policies that infringe on free speech and target dissent. The Watchdog goes against the grain by casting a light on stories largely ignored by the mainstream, corporate media.

It is now over four years ago that Julian Assange was spirited away from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and detained in Belmarshs maximum security prison. Being locked in a tiny concrete room for more than 1500 days has taken a serious toll on the Australian publisher; reports from this week suggest that his health is deteriorating by the minute.

One man who has covered the Wikileaks co-founders case closer than almost anyone is Kevin Gosztola. Gosztola is an American journalist, the managing editor of Shadowproof and co-hosts the Unauthorized Disclosure Podcast with Rania Khalek. He is the author of the new book Guilty of Journalism: The Political Case against Julian Assange. Today, he joins Watchdog host Lowkey to talk all things WikiLeaks, Assange, leaks and cybersecurity.

The U.S. government has always been hostile to leakers revealing embarrassing or compromising information about its actions. But Gosztola states that the Central Intelligence Agencys gloves came off in 2017 as it ramped up its attacks on Assange. By 2017, CIA Director Mike Pompeo had labeled WikiLeaks as a hostile non-state intelligence service and began turning the screw. For Gosztola, the CIAs response was a symptom of the agencys insecurity; And so at that point, the CIA probably feels they are threatened, their whole regime of pursuing the global war on terrorism is in jeopardy as a result of WikiLeaks, he told Lowkey.

It is often forgotten how much incredible, extraordinary information WikiLeaks provided the world. This included the Guantnamo prison manuals, which showed that the U.S. Army hid prisoners from Red Cross inspectors and illegally held captives in solitary confinement to soften them up for interrogation.

What If Russia Pulls a Hiroshima/Nagasaki on Kiev? "IndyWatch Feed War"

By Jacob G. Hornberger | FFF | May 24, 2023

Todays Los Angeles Times contains a letter to the editor from a North Hollywood person named Dave Simon, which states in part the following: To this day, I have no regret that President Harry Truman saved many American lives as well of thousands of others all across the globe by ordering the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Simons sentiment has always been the popular justification for the U.S. atomic bombings of the people in those two Japanese cities. The idea has been that without the bombings, it would have been necessary for the U.S. to have invaded Japan to secure its defeat, which would have necessarily entailed the deaths and injuries of thousands of U.S. soldiers.

Therefore, the argument goes, by killing and maiming hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians with the atomic bombings, and, equally important, implicitly threatening to continue doing so against other Japanese cities, the Japanese government was forced to surrender, thereby bringing a quicker end to the war, which thereby saved the lives of U.S. soldiers.

I have always opposed that reasoning. Targeting civilians is a war crime. Thats why Army Lt. William Calley, Jr., was charged with a war crime after he and his troops massacred civilians during the Vietnam War. Targeting civilians with an atomic bomb is no different from shooting them with an M-16. The bombing simply kills more people.

Would thousands of U.S. soldiers have died in an invasion of Japan? Of course. But thats the nature of war. Soldiers die in war. To say that it is legitimate to kill women, children, and seniors in order to protect soldiers is highly illegitimate, from both a moral and a legal standpoint.

But as many people have pointed out, Japan was ready to surrender anyway. All that Japanese officials needed was an assurance that their emperor would not be executed, tortured, or abused. The U.S. refused to provide that assurance, pursuant to President Roosevelts policy that demanded unconditional surrender. It was a ridiculous policy, especially since after Japans surrender, the U.S. did not execute, torture, or abuse the emperor anyway.

Moreover, there are commentators who make a persuasive case that the real reason that President Truman ordered the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was to send a message to the Soviet Union, which was already being converted from WW2 pa...

Let Us Celebrate the Peoples Patriots and End the Ignominy of Monarchical-Patriotic Legends "IndyWatch Feed War"

An assembly of some 6,000 Quebec patriots, the Assembly of the Six Counties, was held October 23-24, 1837 despite public assemblies being banned by the British colonial government.

The Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) is calling for Victoria Day to be renamed Patriots Day. The aim is to engage people in discussion on the peoples patriots and debunk the monarchical-patriotic legends handed down to the younger generations in order to stop them from conceptualizing a constitution and democratic process of their own making, which opens a bright future for all. In this vein, the celebration of Victoria Day is, to put it bluntly, a national humiliation. Canadians oppose everything she represents. In fact, the First World War long ago smashed the euphoria of empire to smithereens in the blood-soaked trenches of Europe.

Victoria is long dead, but to this day she is hailed as Empress of India and commended in innumerable ways. Through the personas of subsequent kings and queens and the conquests, treaties and institutions established in her name and since then in the name of her successors, and crimes carried out, everything is done on the basis of attempts to sneak in what she stood for which is called patriotic, to be saluted rather than condemned. The Constitution imposed in 1867 in her name, and subsequently its patriation in the name of Elizabeth II, relegate Canadians to subjects under a rule they did not adopt. All of it is based on monarchical-patriotic legends and the practices they generate to justify and legitimize their rule.

For instance, the claim is made that for Canada to sever its longstanding ties to the monarchy and become a republic, it would require agreement between the House of Commons, the Senate and all 10 provinces. This is the stipulation in the very Constitution which was patriated from England in 1982 by the government of Pierre Elliot Trudeau with the incorporation of a Charter of Rights and Freedoms and an amending formula. Besides the ruling class, nobody ever agreed to the imposition of the Constitution adopted by the Imperial Parliament in 1867. So too the addition of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and amending formula were never agreed to by the Canadian and Quebec people either. To this day, the Quebec nation has not even signed the Constitution of 1982, despite the fact that it is said to be a founding nation of Canada. Nonetheless,Official Canada presumes Quebec is subservient to it. This presumption characterizes the thought material of a ruling class and system of rule and governance imposed by the British during colonial times. Its origins l...

"Terrified Of A Bud Light Situation": Target Pulls Pride Month Products In Certain Stores Amid Boycott Calls "IndyWatch Feed World"

One week after Target CEO Brian Cornell revealed that "woke" capitalism is "great" for their brand and "the right thing for society," the mega-retailer has been scrambling to avoid a disastrous "Bud Light moment" by forcing some stores to remove LGBTQ Pride merchandise as consumer boycott calls mount.

The Club of Rome: How climate hysteria is being used to create global governance "IndyWatch Feed World"

In the early 1970s the US and much of the western world was shifting into a stagflationary economic crisis. Nixon removed the dollar completely from the gold standard in 1971 with the aid of the Federal Reserve (or perhaps under the direction of the Fed) which ultimately escalated inflation pressures. Europe's post war boom came to an abrupt end, while prices on goods (and oil/gasoline) in the US skyrocketed up until 1981-1982, when the Federal Reserve jacked interest rates up to around 20% and created a deliberate recessionary crash. Interestingly, the IMF had created the SDR system in 1969 just before the gold standard was cut (the same SDR which the IMF is poised to use as the foundation of a global digital currency mechanism). And, the World Economic Forum was founded in 1971. The time period is often depicted in films as a happy-go-lucky era of disco, drugs, hippies and rock n' roll, but the reality is that the early 1970s was the beginning of the end for the west - it was the...

The AIM4Climate summit in Washington, DC brought together agriculture ministers from 50 countries, who discussed how both private and public funding can accelerate innovation in food systems. Funding for the initiative has reached $13bn, but it has been accused of greenwashing.

At the summit, Carbon Brief spoke to the Bahamian agriculture and marine resources minister, Clay Sweeting, about the challenges that the Bahamas faces in food systems and food security as a small island developing state.

Biggest debt-for-nature swap

SIGNED OFF: Ecuador launched the largest ever debt-for-nature deal, Mongabay reported. This type of deal is intended to help developing countries reduce their debt in exchange for their investment in nature conservation. The latest and biggest deal of this kind will allow Ecuador to convert $1.6bn of existing debt into a $656m loan, issued as a bond by global investment bank Credit Suisse. This would effectively wipe out interest on some of it...

    When I started shaving I remember asking my father how to do it. I remember thinking to myself this is some kind of father-son rite-of-passage to manhood and that he hadnt offered yet to show me so I figured I might as well ask. I think I had these visions in my head of a father showing the son to go with the grain and whatever other sage advice he could give. And while my father did tell me, it was less than climactic and I remember him giving me a look that said to me that he hadnt really thought about it and it wasnt all that hard because hed been doing it for years. This has stuck with me all these years later but not because I was mad or disappointed, but it was still a defining moment in our relationship and my progressing towards adult-hood.

The US government sanctioned four entities and one individual for supporting cyber operations conducted by North Korea "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

The US Department of the Treasury sanctioned four entities and one individual for their role in cyber operations conducted by North Korea.

The US Department of the Treasurys Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced sanctions against four entities and one individual for their role in malicious cyber operations conducted to support the government of North Korea.

The DPRK conducts malicious cyber activities and deploys information technology (IT) workers who fraudulently obtain employment to generate revenue, including in virtual currency, to support the Kim regime and its priorities, such as its unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs. reads the announcement.

The sanctioned entities conducted operations to steal funds to support the military strategy of the regime.

In December 2022, South Koreas spy agency, the National Intelligence Service, estimated that North Korea-linked threat actors have stolen an estimated 1.5 trillion won ($1.2 billion) in cryptocurrency and other virtual assets in the past five years.

According to the spy agency, more than half the crypto assets (about 800 billion won ($626 million)) have been stolen this year alone, reported the Associated Press.

The NIS added that more than 100 billion won ($78 million) of the total stolen funds came from South Korea.

Cyber security and intelligence experts believe that attacks aimed at the cryptocurrency industry will continue to increase next year. National Intelligence Service experts believe that North Korea-linked APT groups will focus on the theft of South Korean technologies and confidential information on South Korean foreign policy and national security.

Data published by the National Intelligence Service agency confirms a report published by South Korean media outlet Chosun early this year that revealed North Korean threat actors have stolen around $1.7 billion (2 trillion won) worth of cryptocurrency from multiple exchanges during the past five years.

According to local media, US federal prosecutors believe that North Koreas government considers cryptocurrency a long-term investment and it is amassing crypto funds through illegal activities.

In a classified report cited by Chosun, the US National Intelligence Service (DNI) found that North Korea was financing its priority policies, such as nuclear and missile development, through cybercrime. Government experts noticed that nation-state actors are not immediately cashing out all...

Whether its the future engine choice resulting delays in production, the lack of operable engines, subsystem design flaws, or perhaps incidents involving the jets propulsion and thermal management systems, its onboard oxygen system, its custom helmet-mounted display, and even its susceptibility to lighting strikes the bloated F-35 boondoggle is still struggling to make sense.

Kansas is us "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

One of the perennial questions that people on the liberal end of the political spectrum discuss is the one about why so many people seem to vote against their own interests. These questions are variations on the themes in the 2004 book Whats the Matter with Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America by Thomas Frank where he explores why his once left-wing populist home state of Kansas now espouses right wing economic policies that do not benefit the majority of people in the state. I have not read this influential book but its main themes have percolated widely in political discourse and the reason given is that economic concerns have been driven by the rise of hot-button culture war issues that have driven economic concerns into the background, even as their personal economic situation becomes more dire.

Not long ago, Kansas would have responded to the current situation by making the bastards pay. This would have been a political certainty, as predictable as what happens when you touch a match to a puddle of gasoline. When business screwed the farmers and the workers when it implemented monopoly strategies invasive beyond the Populists furthest imaginings when it ripped off shareholders and casually tossed thousands out of work you could be damned sure about what would follow. Not these days. Out here the gravity of discontent pulls in only one direction: to the right, to the right, further to the right. Strip todays Kansans of their job security, and they head out to become registered Republicans. Push them off their land, and next thing you know theyre protesting in front of abortion clinics. Squander their life savings on manicures for the CEO, and theres a good chance theyll join the John Birch Society. But ask them about the remedies their ancestors proposed (unions, antitrust, public ownership), and you might as well be referring to the days when knighthood was in flower. (p. 67-68)

He argues that Democrats have colluded in this shift by also focusing on socio-culture wedge issues.

The Democratic Leadership Council, the organization that produced such figures as Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Joe Lieberman and Terry McAuliffe, has long been pushing the party to forget blue-collar voters and concentrate instead on recruiting affluent, white-collar professionals who are liberal on social issues. The larger interests that the DLC wants desperately to court are corporations, capable of generating campaign contributions far outweighing anything raised by organized labor. The way to collect the votes and more important the money of these coveted constituencies, New Democrats think, is to stand rock-solid on, say, the pro-choice position while making endless concessions on...

Miura 1, the First Spanish Suborbital Rocket, is Ready for Launch "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

upstart writes:

Miura 1, the First Spanish Suborbital Rocket, Is Ready for Launch:

Should it succeed, PLD Space will become the first private micro launcher to launch a rocket in Europe's emerging space race.

Spanish manufacturer PLD Space successfully carried out the final ignition test of its reusable Miura 1 rocket on Wednesday, setting the stage for its imminent launch from southern Europe.

In the next few days, PLD Space aims to become the first private micro launcher company to actually launch a rocket in the European space race. The Miura 1 is a one-stage suborbital rocket that stands 41 feet (12.5 meters) long, or about the height of four-story building. The rocket serves as a proof-of-concept for PLD's larger Miura 5 rocket, which aims to launch satellites into orbit beginning in 2025.

PLD Space developed the Miura 1's TEPREL-B motor in-house, which can achieve a thrust of 30 kN with a simple pressure-fed cycle using jet fuel. The rocket can reach an altitude of 93 miles (150 kilometers) with a cargo of 220 pounds (100 kilograms) and is meant to be reusable for at least three trips.

[...] The Miura 1 will be launched towards the Atlantic Ocean from a cliff on the coast of Huelva in southwestern Spain, specifically a military test zone known as "Mdano del Loro." The launch is scheduled to take place on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, when the area will be free of fishermen, at 7:30 a.m. local time. On the day of the launch, the air space will be closed, and officials will establish an exclusion area in the ocean. The Spanish Institute of Aerospace Technology has already approved several launch windows through May 31.

Forward to the Past "IndyWatch Feed War"

Outrage continues over Justice Neil Gorsuchs recent remarks that policy responses to COVID-19 may represent the greatest intrusion of civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country. Slavery, the historical exclusion of women and non-property owners from voting, Jim Crow, the abuses of the Red Scares and an infinite list of other violations of civil liberties are nothing to Gorsuch compared to asking people to wear masks and get vaccinations. In their attacks on Gorsuch, commentators have focused on this catalogue of grim injustices, but Gorsuchs remarks on the specifics of COVID-19 policy should also be raising blaring alarm bells about where he wants to take America.

Gorsuch and five of his Supreme Court colleagues approach the law through the eyes of originalists. The idea of originalism is rooted in John Lockes theory of natural rights. Liberty, proclaimed Locke, is not a product of society or government, its a gift from our Creator, hence the only legitimate role of government is to protect our God-given natural rights. Any rights we as citizens decide to create or enlarge, a womans right to choose abortion for one, have no such divine sanction. They can be narrowed, retracted, or denied, depending on the Courts will. Hence Jeffersons dictum: that government is best which governs least. Originalism at its broadest seeks to establish the intent of the framers, but the late Justice Scalia defined originalism as the doctrine of original meaning. That is, originalists interpret the law by asking how the public of the time would have understood the meaning of the words of the constitution when it was written in 1789. By strictly adhering to the supposed original meaning of the constitutions words for a highly exclusive male, property owning public, originalists claim that their judging is, in essence, an apolitical process of thumbing through18th century dictionaries. It is matter of transferring understandings written in 1787 into the adjudication of 21st century conflicts.

In other words, Gorsuch and his pals want to use an originalist time machine to transport contemporary America back to the rural, agrarian society of 1790, when the population of the United States was about 4 million, including 700 thousand enslaved people; and the only citizens who could vote were white male property-owners, most of whom were largely engaged in farming. The Union consisted of only 13 states, a tiny sliver of North America along the Atlantic coast. Obviously, the United States is a far more complex society today, with a diverse population of over 350 million, the majority of whom women claim rights the Framers resolutely denied.

Whatever else you can say about Gorsuch and his extremist clique, you cant say theyre stupid. They are perfectly aware that times have changed. The fact is, they have no problem with change, unless its politically progressive change. Life, liberty and the pursuit of property...

Orban: Relations With Sweden Awfully Wrong, Preclude It From Joining NATO "IndyWatch Feed War"

By Igor Kuznetsov Sputnik 24.05.2023

According to various reports, faced with resistance from Turkiye and Hungary alike, the Swedish government has considered postponing the goal of entering NATO from the July summit in Vilnius to the blocs meeting in Washington next April.

Relations between Hungary and Sweden are poor and must improve before the Nordic states bid for NATO membership is approved, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said at the Qatar Economic Forum.

The political relationship between Sweden and Hungary is awfully wrong, and we have to improve first, Orban said. We would not like to import conflicts into NATO first.

Earlier, Orbans chief of staff said that the bilateral ties between Hungary and Sweden have hit an all-time low. He also accused Swedish politicians of making a habit of continually questioning the state of democracy in Hungary, as well as insulting Hungarian voters and MPs, and, through them, the whole of Hungary.

No date has been set yet as to when the Hungarian parliament will vote on the Swedish bid for admission, which has to be ratified by all current members.

While commenting on Orbans latest statement, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reiterated his hope that Swedens application will be approved and recommended doing so. Among others, Stoltenberg cited the Turkish election and Swedens new anti-terror laws as factors that may facilitate the Nordic countrys accession. At the same time, Stoltenberg said that the upcoming NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania merely offers a possibility, not a guarantee.

However, Swedish media have been circulating reports that the governments plan for Swedish NATO entry may be about to be postponed. Instead of being approved in Vilnius in July, a possibility of entering NATO only at the blocs meeting in Washington next April is now under consideration. Among others, this has sparked criticism from the Social Democrats, a heavyweight party that has dominated Swedens politics since the 1930s, over the lack of a plan B. For their part, the Social Democrats, now in opposition, have called for deepening Nordic cooperation, should the NATO entry be delayed.

Still, Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom of the liberal-conservative Moderate Party that leads the current minority government confirmed that the goal for Stockholm is to join NATO in connection with the Vilnius summit.

Sweden and its neighbor Finland asked to join NATO last year, citing changes in the European security landscape following the conflict in Ukraine. While Finla...

Compare two states "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

For those not familiar with upper midwestern geography, Minnesota is right next to North Dakota. The largest city in North Dakota is squished up right next to the border, with Moorhead, Minnesota paired up right next to it. North Dakota is extremely conservative (although Fargo is less so), while Minnesota is fairly liberal. This leads to interesting situations.

Fargo hosted popular Pride events for many years. But no more!

A contentious political climate coupled with safety concerns and summer construction has prompted two Pride events historically held in Fargo to move to Moorhead.

Both Pride in the Park and the Pride Parade, noted as the areas largest rural Pride celebrations, are set to begin in August and will be held in Minnesota and will not enter downtown Fargo.

Dont worry. The organizers are not abandoning North Dakota, but have simply made a pragmatic decision that Minnesota is safer.

Logistically, we are still finalizing event details, but we are excited to hold two of our major community events in Minnesota this year, Diederich said. With that said, we belong in North Dakota and we are not leaving. We will still hold events in private event spaces in the community where many of us work and live.

This Real Fish Fillet Was 3D Printed From Cells Grown in a Lab "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Cultured meat is gaining momentum, with large production facilities under construction and the arduous approval process for the finished products inching forward. Most of the industrys focus thus far has been on ground beef, chicken, pork, and steak. Save for one startup that was working on lab-grown salmon, fish have been largely left out of the fray.

But last month an Israeli company called Steakholder Foods announced it had 3D printed a ready-to-cook fish fillet using cells grown in a bioreactor. The company says the fish is the first of its kind in the world, and theyre aiming to commercialize the 3D bioprinter used to create it.

Steakholder Foods didnt produce the fish cells it used to print the fillet. They partnered with Umami Meats, a Singapore-based company working on cultured seafood. Umami created the fish cells the same way companies like Believer Meats and Good Meat create lab-grown chicken or beef: they extract cells from a fish (in a process that doesnt harm it) and mix those cells with a cocktail of nutrients to make them divide, multiply, and mature. They signal the cells to turn into muscle and fat, which they then harvest and form into a finished product.

Guardian corrects false claim over Palestinian water use "IndyWatch Feed War"

We recently posted about a grossly misleading Guardian article, written by Bethan McKernan, which included the claim that 100 litres a day is minimum per capita, per day, minimum water requirement set by the World Health Organization (WHO). If true, that would mean that Palestinian water consumption in the West Bank (at 85.6 liters per capita per day) is significantly less than the minimum requirement.

We complained to Guardian editors, noting that WHO in fact states that the minimum is between 50-100 litres per capita per day meaning that Palestinian water consumption is within the standard.

Editors upheld our complaint, amended the relevant sentence accordingly and added the following addendum.

Given how many of those in the Australian press and media stable have been, for the most part, unconcerned, and in some cases celebratory, regarding the prosecution of Julian Assange, it was strikingly poignant to have his wife, Stella, present at the centre of Australias press epicentre: the National Press Club in Canberra.

For those familiar with the ongoing prosecution of the WikiLeaks founder by the United States via the extradition processes of the United Kingdom, a brutal carnivalesque endeavour that continues to blight that legal system, there is not much to be said. Stella had to get her point across to a pack of the uninitiated most of them, anyway and state the obvious fact that her husband is facing gloomy prospects across the pond for spilling the beans on the US National Security State. Once the doors open to such a prosecution on US soil, bets are off on the subject of publishing national security information in the public interest. For the first time in US legal history, a journalist, defamed and harassed, will be conveyed into the bowels of a carceral state so revolting it makes Belmarsh look like a modest retreat.

The method, however, lay in the personal touch, one that draws out Assange as the dedicated, loving, and intellectually stimulated everyman. There is talk about the fledging rainbow lorikeet that her husband reared when he was on Magnetic Island off the coast of Townsville in Queensland. Remembering the chestnut coated mare which he would ride when he stayed in the Northern Rivers. There was also surfing in Byron Bay in his teens, and beekeeping in the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria.

Stellas agenda is clear, direct, and powerful. There is no time for frills. She knows that the realm of ideas has little truck with the breakfasting, lunching and dining journalists who titter across Canberra and offer the rest of Australia information of an embarrassingly poor quality. It was important to keep matters simple.

The adopted technique, then, is uncomplicated: focus on the man in prison, in captivity, and suffering because of it. I can tell you exactly what Julian is doing right now....

Kiev used US-supplied vehicles to invade Russia "IndyWatch Feed War"

By Lucas Leiroz | May 24, 2023

The US claims that the weapons sent to Ukraine are only used within the borders of the conflict zone, but it is increasingly clear that this equipment is being used by Ukrainian forces to carry out terrorist attacks in the undisputed Russian territory. Photos and videos shared on the internet show that US armored vehicles were used by pro-Kiev forces to attack Belgorod during recent terrorist hostilities. As expected, US officials are denying their involvement and suggesting the images are fake. Now, Washington needs to find a justification for the undeniable fact that its proxy regime is inappropriately and illegally using military aid provided by NATO.

The images are being published by Russian war correspondents who covered hostilities in Belgorod. It is possible to find among the equipment captured by the Russian forces several American-made weapons, including some armored vehicles such as M1151A1 Humvees and MaxxPro MRAP. The vehicles were mostly destroyed by Russian artillery or left behind by enemy soldiers as they tried to evade Russian fire.

Reacting to the case, the US authorities argued that there is not enough evidence to confirm the veracity of the photos and videos circulating on the networks. Speaking during a press conference, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller emphatically expressed his skepticism about the veracity of the images, indicating that they could be some fake deliberately spread by the Russians to accuse the Americans. He made it clear that an official statement by Washington will only occur after the images are analyzed and there is absolute confidence on their accuracy.

Weve seen some of the reports circulating on social media and elsewhere making claims that US-supplied weapons were used in these attacks () I will say that were skeptical at this time of the veracity of these reports () Weve seen a lot of reports on social media and fuzzy pictures on social media and a lot of kind of armchair intelligence analysts making claims () Were skeptical that theyre accurate () We dont have perfect clarity on the information () Were looking at the same pictures you see, the same fuzzy images, and at this time, we are skeptical of their veracity, Matthew Miller told journalists during a press conference.

Millers argument is vague and weak. Confirmation on the veracity of the images can be obtained in a short time through an expert analysis, which is enough to eliminate any doubts about the case. What Miller seems to be doing is avoiding giving a verdict on the subject, postponing the final assessm...

Compare and contrast "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

Heres the Republican party:

Marjorie Taylor Greene won a charity auction she paid $100K for Kevin McCarthys lip balm. I wonder if MTGs donors approve of this use of their cashnah, theyre idiots, probably they think its great.
Lauren Boebert left a pack of birth control pills at a pharmacy once because it cost too much, and she figured that raising an actual child for 18 years would be cheaper. You know she has a teenaged son who recently impregnated his teenaged girlfriend, right?

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Democratic party is actually being effective. Follow that link for the long, long list of progressive accomplishments we got just this past year. Democrats who actually fought for labor and education and immigrants and gun control and abortion and trans rights? Unheard of!

This is not a blanket approval for the national Democratic party, however. The article points out how other state parties have failed.

All told, its quite the record of accomplishmentall done in less than half a year, and with a governor, Walz, who was not notably progressive in his prior career in Congress. One wonders why it is so difficult to get anything even remotely similar done in solid-blue states like New York, where Gov. Kathy Hochul has been faceplanting on minor things like getting a state judge confirmed or passing moderate housing reform to bring down her states sky-high rents.

I suspect the difference is that Minnesota Dems had to run on a serious progressive agenda to win. By all accounts, the backlash to Dobbs was especially important in the 2022 midterms. Where New York Democrats generally win easily, and so the Democratic establishment focuses above all on maintaining its control of the party machine and associated patronage, Minnesota Democrats have to actually represent their constituents. It turns out when a political party has a coherent agenda that it actually tries to carry out, it can get a lot done.

Oh, a coherent agenda and also a sense that they have to live up to their promises. Those sound like good things for a political party. One of our American afflictions is parties whose main mission is to simply get re-elected year after year.

Tariq Ramadan acquitted of charges in Swiss rape trial

Islamic scholar still has to face four cases in France and a court appeal in Geneva, with three years imprisonment if found guilty

MEE and agencies Wed, 05/24/2023 - 13:40

Swiss leading Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan leaves Geneva's courthouse, 24 May 2023 (AFP)

Prominent Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan was acquitted on Wednesday of charges of rape and sexual coercion by the Geneva Criminal Court, which found no evidence against the former Oxford professor.

The court awarded Ramadan around 151,000 Swiss francs ($167,000) in compensation from the Swiss canton of Geneva over the case.

The 60-year-old Swiss scholar, one of his generation's most famous Muslim academics, smiled after the ruling was read and was hugged by one of his daughters.

Ramadan's accuser, identified under the assumed name of "Brigitte", left the courtroom before the end of the verdict, while her lawyers vowed to appeal the verdict in the case.

The scholar admitted that he had met Brigitte, but denied her accusation that he had repeatedly raped her at a Geneva hotel in October 2008.

Ramadan, who took a leave of absence from his position at the University of Oxford in 2017 and then left the institution by mutual consent in 2021, had been facing five charges of rape, four in France and one in Switzerland.

The latter was the first to go to court in May, and Ramadan would have faced up to three years in prison if he h...

What Can a Gun-Toting Church Tell Us About Conservatives? "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

In recognition of the first anniversary of the massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX, we are reprinting this story written in 2018 by a member of our Mentor-Apprentice Program.

The story of a Pennsylvania church blessing AR-15s made the rounds on traditional and social media last week. The ceremony at the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary ministry in rural Newfoundland, PA, was widely ridiculed as bizarre and out of touch, but once you take away some of the theatrics, how different are these worshippers really from millions of Americans and the NRA?

The answer, it turns out, is not that much.

WhoWhatWhy went to Newfoundland twice last week, attended the gun-blessing ceremony and saw some things that the rest of the media seems to have missed.

First, it is interesting that this event took place in Pennsylvania. Exactly 10 years ago, presidential candidate Barack Obama told a private gathering in the Keystone State that parts of its residents were bitter. He added that it is not surprising that rural Pennsylvanians cling to their guns, or religion, or antipathy to people who arent like them or anti-immigrant or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Obama took a lot of heat when the comments leaked. In hindsight, however, he basically pinpointed the sentiment that made Donald Trump his successor and that was on display at the Newfoundland church.

The response to Obamas remark was so dramatic that he was forced to publicly defend himself during a CNN town hall and, predictably, the GOP used his words as a talking point for years, tossing it as red meat to a base thats fueled by weapons-toting, faith-based voters.

Even four years later, vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan made mention of the remarks during campaign rallies.

Anybody witnessing the AR-15 blessing ceremony at the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary ministry in the wake of the tragic school shooting in Parkland, FL, would have a hard time walking away with a different conclusion from Obamas.

While the groups beliefs may seem extreme to most, they are not as uncommon as one might think.

Rev. Hyung Jin (Sean) Moon, the youngest son of Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon known for his mass wedding ceremonies in New York Citys Times Square took the stage accompanied by his wife Yeon Ah Lee Moon and carrying a gold-plated assault rifle, readying himself for another mass marriage ceremony.

To Save the News, We Must Shatter Ad-Tech "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

The news is in trouble. Its not just the mass closures of newsrooms - its also the physical and ideological attacks on journalists.News websites are plastered with ads, but more than half of the money those ads generate is siphoned off by ad-tech companies, with the lions share going to just two companies, Google and Meta, whose ad-tech duopoly has allowed them to claim an ever-greater share of the income generated by ads placed alongside of news content.

Once, tech platforms promised that behavioral advertising would be a bonanza for both media companies and their tech partners. Rather than paying commissioned salespeople to convince firms to place ads based on a publications reputation and readership, media companies would run ads placed by the winners of a slew of split-second auctions, each time a user moved from one page to another.

These auctions would offer up the user, not the content, to an array of bidders representing different advertisers: What am I bid for the right to show an ad to a depressed, 19 year old male Kansas City Art Institute sophomore who has recently searched for car loans and also shopped for incontinence pads? In an eyeblink, every ad-slot on the page would be filled with ads purchased at a premium by advertisers anxious to reach that specific user. And that user will like it! They will be grateful for the process and all the highly relevant advertisements it dangled under their nose.

Such an arrangement has numerous moving parts. The ad-tech stack includes:

A supply-side platform (SSP): The SSP acts as the publishers broker, bringing each user to market and selling their attention on the basis of their behavioral traits;
A demand-side platform (DSP): The DSP represents the advertisers, consulting a wishlist of specific behavioral traits that each advertiser wants to target;
A marketplace: The marketplace solicits bids on behalf of the SSP, collects bids from DSPs, and then consummates the transaction by delivering the winning bidders ad to the SSP to be crammed into the users eyeballs.

European Commission Calls for Pirate Site Blocking Around the Globe "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

In recent years, website blocking has become one of the most widely-used anti-piracy enforcement mechanisms in the world.

ISPs in several dozen countries prevent subscribers from accessing a variety of pirate sites, either through court processes or as part of government-backed administrative blocking regimes.

Europe has been at the forefront of this blocking wave. The first case was launched in Denmark and dates back to 2006. In the years since, similar measures were taken in other EU countries, with the ultimate approval of the European Unions highest court.

Research on the effectiveness of site-blocking interventions is scarce but the overall indication is that while the measures are far from perfect, theyre effective nonetheless. They are particularly effective at stopping casual pirates when multiple sites are blocked simultaneously.

European Commission Flags Foreign Countries

The European Commission is also convinced that this enforcement tool can make a difference. A few days ago, the EU governing body released its biennial report on the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights in third countries, in which site blocking is repeatedly mentioned.

The report is the EUs equivalent of the US Trade Representatives Special 301 review. Its main aim is to identify priority countries with lacking copyright and trademark protections, hoping to elicit improvements in the years to come.

In addition to counterfeiting, piracy remains one of the key problems in the targeted countries. While some progress has been made in recent years, more can be done.

Copyright piracy [] remains a major issue for European creative sectors. The problem remains widespread and rampant in countries such as China, Indonesia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Vietnam, as well as Brazil despite the positive developments set out in this report, the report reads.

The report lists thirteen countries in total, with China singled out as the highest priority concern.

Priority 1: China
Priority 2: India, Indonesia, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine
Priority 3: Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Malaysia, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Thailand

A 25-year cycle of anger, despair and self-hatred The psychology of Unionism "IndyWatch Feed Politics.eu"

You do have to feel a bit sorry for UUP election candidate Bill Manwaring. Writing in the BelTel he discusses how his 7th election defeat in 13 years has affected his mental health spoiler alert, it is not positive. Bill admits his mental health is generally not great, so you wonder about the wisdom of engaging in politics, a famously cruel and combative arena at the best of times.

Moving on from the personal, Bill reflects on the state of Unionism. To quote:

One of the biggest challenges I have had to deal with, inside my head, is the over-powering self-hatred and belief that I am useless, worthless and incapable of doing anything of value.

Over my life it has led me to the point of self-destruction many times, impacting on others in a way that only reinforces the initial belief of my worthlessness.

Unionism suffers from similar symptoms to me. We see no value in what we have, we listen to the voices that tell us we have nothing to offer, we believe we cannot do anything of value and that we will always fail. We hate ourselves more than any other has ever hated us. We look for failures and ignore any success.

But, instead of building a strong, successful, welcoming Northern Ireland, the kind of Northern Ireland nobody would ever want to vote to leave, we listened to the dark voices in our heads we had failed, we were proving how useless we are.

This created a 25-year cycle of anger, despair and self-hatred that has taken unionism to the brink of self-destruction. It has allowed others to manipulate this weakness to the point where we can no longer see any hope for tomorrow.

Unionism faces the same challenges, with the spiral tightening every day, as we allow our self-hatred to grow, lashing out blindly without thought or plan.

While his early days as a Boy Scout brought him closer to nature and introduced him to a number of outdoor activities during his childhood in the U.S., it was Timothy J. Killeens one special backpacking trip that he recalls most fondly. Over the course of 18 months, he traveled the whole of the Americas, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, taking in the Galpagos Islands in Ecuador, Chilean Patagonia, and the Callejn de Huaylas in the Peruvian Andes along the way. The wildlife was really impressive. So much so that upon returning to the United States I pursued a career change, he said. Since then, Killeens curiosity has led him to work his way through a number of disciplines: botany, taxonomy, dendrology (the scientific study and taxonomic identification of trees, shrubs, and lianas), and, finally, ecology. All of these fields, each in their own way, have allowed Killeen to develop an understanding of just how delicately and fascinatingly interwoven our ecosystems are. In total, Killeen has spent over 30 years in South America, where his academic work has paved the way for pioneering initiatives to curb deforestation and climate change, such as the creation of protected natural areas and advising on Bolivias very first environmental impact studies.

Higgs Boson: Our Passport to the Hidden Valley of New Physics in Next-Gen Particle Accelerators "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

It may be that the famous Higgs boson, co-responsible for the existence of masses of elementary particles, also interacts with the world of the new physics that has been sought for decades. If this were indeed to be the case, the Higgs should decay in a characteristic way, involving exotic particles. At the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow, it has been shown that if such decays do indeed occur, they will be observable in successors to the LHC currently being designed.

When talking about the hidden valley, our first thoughts are of dragons rather than sound science. However, in high-energy physics, this picturesque name is given to certain models that extend the set of currently known elementary particles. In these so-called Hidden Valley models, the particles of our world as described by the Standard Model belong to the low-energy group, while exotic particles are hidden in the high-energy region. Theoretical considerations suggest then the exotic decay of the famous Higgs boson, something that has not been observed at the LHC accelerator despite many years of searching. However, scientists at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) in Cracow argue that Higgs decays into exotic particles should already be perfectly observable in accelerators that are successors to the Large Hadron Collider if the Hidden Valley models turn out to be consistent with reality.

In Hidden Valley models we have two groups of particles separated by an energy barrier. The theory is that there could then be exotic massive particles that could cross this barrier under specific circumstances. The particles like Higgs boson or hypothetic Z boson would act as communicators between the particles of both worlds. The Higgs boson, one of the most massive particle of the Standard Model, is a very good candidate for such a communicator, explains Prof. Marcin Kucharczyk (IFJ PAN), lead author of an article in the Journal of High Energy Physics, which presents the latest analyses and simulations concerning the possibility of detecting Higgs boson decays in the future lepton accelerators.

Designing synthetic receptors for precise cell control "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Biosensors are artificial molecular complexes designed to detect the presence of target chemicals or even biomolecules. Consequently, biosensors have become important in diagnostics and synthetic cell biology. However, typical methods for engineering biosensors focus on optimizing the interactions between static binding surfaces, and current biosensor designs can only recognize structurally well-defined molecules, which can be too rigid for real-life biology.

We developed a novel computational approach for designing protein-peptide ligand binding and applied it to engineer cell-surface chemotactic receptors that reprogrammed cell migration, says EPFL professor Patrick Barth. We think that our work could broadly impact the design of protein binding and cell engineering applications.

The new biosensors developed by Barths group can sense flexible compounds and trigger complex cellular responses, which open up new possibilities for biosensor applications. The researchers created a computational framework, which is a computer-based system, for designing protein complexes that can change their shape and function dynamicallyas opposed to the conventional static approaches. The framework can look at previously unexplored protein sequences to come up with new ways for the proteins groups to be activated, even in ways that are different to their natural function.

THE police chief in London openly admits that British courts are cherry-picking cases and it seems clear, based on personal experience, that the police is cherry-picking cases as well, no matter how many victims exist or how profound the crime/s might be. In fact, even when all the unambiguous (slam-dunk) evidence is handed over, Action Fraud can decide to do nothing.

I now correspond with my public representative in Manchester. Sirius has had many government clients (which we would rather not name as we never name clients of Sirius). This is a serious reputational problem for various high-profile clients of Sirius, which are tied to the umbrella system, governing the nation, including police, immigration, the health services and so on. They probably would wish to know government contractors scamming their own workers, who worked on government computer systems.

To put it another way, is this how the British government treats workers, via contractors that are rogue? The embezzlement started only a few months after I had joined the company in early 2011. So its not something that happened very recently. It had many victims other than me.

The way in which my reports were handled (or not handled) is of interest for political reasons, not just for more ordinary reasons (cracking down on crime). Well hopefully be ready to report concrete progress some time before this month ends.

If we must take this dirty diaper to all the facilitators, who helped abuse their workforce by proxy, then so be it. We still have 4-5 escalation levels/points at this stage, but were exhausting them one by one, based on the hierarchy of the system. Sooner or later, we believe, the Rule of Law will catch up with Sirius and i...

Sweltering heat wave hits Sri Lanka; climate change will likely bring more "IndyWatch Feed Enviro"

COLOMBO The month of April is typically the warmest in Sri Lanka as the sun is positioned directly over the Indian Ocean island. Coupled with high humidity, the high temperatures make people uncomfortable and sweaty. This year, the Department of Meteorology went so far as to issue heat warnings for several districts, cautioning residents against exposure to high heat that can have harmful health implications. As neighboring South Asian countries are scorched by a severe heat wave, the unusually high temperature rise is impacting people and their daily lives, a change that causes worry among locals about climate risk. As the temperature has risen to about 36 degrees Celsius [96.8 degrees Fahrenheit], Sri Lanka has experienced about 3 degrees Celsius [5.4 degrees Fahrenheit] increase of the daily maximum temperature during the recent heat stress period, says Shiromani Jayawardena, the deputy director of the Department of Meteorology. Exposure to excessive heat along with high humidity may prove stressful to the body and in extreme cases can even kill, so the department assesses the situation and issues warnings to the public to remain cautious, Jayawardena said. The sun is directly over Sri Lanka in April and with increased humidity, Sri Lankans are experiencing a heat wave. Image courtesy of Bhagya Malalgoda. This year, an unusual heat wave with high temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius impacted South and Central Asia.

When Hundreds of Good Guys with Guns Stood by and Did Nothing "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

A year ago today, a gunman not only slaughtered 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, he also killed the myth that good guys with guns could keep schools safe or any other place for that matter.

For 75 minutes, the law enforcement officers on site all 376 of them did nothing to help the children who were locked in a room with the killer.

Presumably, many of them were good guys, and it stands to reason that most of them had guns.

On the one hand, it makes perfect sense. Why would you rush into a room where a killer with military-grade weapons is waiting for you?

On the other hand, it seems inexplicable. How can you, as someone who took an oath to serve and to protect your community, stand by while children are being maimed, murdered, and traumatized a few feet away from you?

And if all those cops didnt act for more than an hour, how can you possibly expect that arming teachers will do the trick?

Seventy-five minutes! Thats a long time. To illustrate just how long, we put together clips of a recent National Rifle Association (NRA) conference that total 75 minutes. We matched them up with some of the key points of the timeline that began when the first officers arrived at the school within minutes of the initial shots being fired.

And if you think that watching more than an hour of NRA clips feels long, imagine what it must have been like for those kids playing dead next to the bodies of their friends.

11:35 a.m.: Three police officers, armed and armored, enter the school through the same door as the killer. At the same time, four others access the building through the south entrance. Shortly thereafter, the first group reaches the interconnected classrooms where the killer is murdering his victims, and they are fired upon. One officer tries to advance, but nobody follows him.

At about the same time, the officers treat this situation as a barricaded suspect event and not as an active shooter.

Early release for imprisoned climate activist as Vietnam aims for net zero goals "IndyWatch Feed Enviro"

On Saturday, May 13, Nguy Thi Khanh, the Goldman Environmental Prize-winning Vietnamese clean energy advocate, posted a surprising update on her personal Facebook page. The English translation read: Endless happiness to be back in the midst of familys love, to meet and hug loved ones after 16 months of being isolated. Sincere thanks to everyone who has cared, shared and helped me personally and my family during the past year and a half. Khanh, the founder of the Green Innovation and Development Center (GreenID) and one of Vietnams most highly regarded environmental advocates, was sentenced to two years in prison on charges of tax evasion in June 2022. Her sentence was later reduced to 21 months, meaning she got out five months early. Her arrest and subsequent sentencing sent shock waves through the countrys NGO community and drew criticism from the United States, Canada, the European Union and numerous international climate organizations. The early release came as just as big of a shock. I was very surprised when I heard the news, said P.Q.

Hall Sensors Offer Drop-In Replacement for Drifting Game Console Joysticks "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

No bananas were harmed in the making of this Hall effect drift-proof joystick replacement. OK, not really two bananas were turned to mush. But its OK, theyre just bananas, after all.

Why bananas, you ask? Because [Marius Heier] uses them to demonstrate what we all intuitively know that rubbing something over and over again tends to wear it away but engineers seem to have forgotten. Wear such as this, with resistance material rather than fruits, is what causes the dreaded drift, a problem that the world collectively spends $20 billion a year dealing with, according to [Marius].

While numbers like that seem to be firmly in class-action lawsuit territory, sometimes its best to take matters into your own hands and not wait for the courts. The fix [Marius] shows here is to yank the potentiometers off a PS4 joystick and replace them with contactless Hall effect sensors. The end of the shaft for each axis gets a diametral neodymium magnet attached to it, while a 3D printed bracket holds a tiny custom PCB in close proximity. The PCB has an AS5600 Hall sensor, which translates the shaft angle to an analog voltage output. After programming the chip over its...

On Uvalde Anniversary, NRA Gives Away Guns "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

Today, many Americans will commemorate the first anniversary of the massacre of 19 students and two teachers in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. Most of these events will undoubtedly be somber affairs. But if you want to celebrate this day by adding a bit more firepower to your arsenal, then the National Rifle Association (NRA) has got you covered. Together with a handful of corporate partners, it will give away two guns.

Even in a country very much used to mass shootings, the Uvalde attack stands out for several reasons. First and foremost because most of the victims were little kids. In addition, it was deadlier than most. With 21 victims, it ranks ninth on the list of deadliest mass shootings in the US. Bookended by elementary school massacres (in Newtown, CT, and Uvalde), seven of the top ten took place within a decade.

One final thing of note is that the good guys with guns waited more than an hour after arriving at the scene to enter the classroom where children were being murdered.

But for one lucky winner, today will be remembered as the day they won a couple of guns from the NRA and a handful of corporate sponsors.

And not just any two guns.

This extraordinary bundle includes twelve unique items from top-notch brands, boasting an incredible value exceeding $4500, the NRA said in a tweet on Monday that encouraged people to enter the giveaway.

https://twitter.com/NRA/status/1660692019511975936

Ukraines CERT-UA warns of espionage activity conducted by UAC-0063 "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

The Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine (CERT-UA) warns of a cyberespionage campaign targeting state bodies in the country.

The Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine (CERT-UA) has warned of cyber attacks targeting state bodies in the country as part of an espionage campaign conducted by a threat actor tracked as UAC-0063.

The nation-state actor on April 18, 2023 and April 20, 2023, sent spear-phishing emails to the departments e-mail address, supposedly from the official mailbox of the Embassy of Tajikistan in Ukraine.

The CERT-UA believes that the mailbox of the Embassy of Tajikistan may have been compromised in a previous attack. The email used in the attacks contained respectively a weaponized document and a reference to the same document.

If the document is downloaded and the macro is activated on the PC, a DOCX file SvcRestartTaskLogon will be created and opened, which also contains a macro, which will create another file with the WsSwapAssessmentTask macro. reads the report published by CERT-UA. The purpose of the latter is to create a SoftwareProtectionPlatform file classified as HATVIBE and a scheduled task to run it. HATVIBE is presented as an encoded VBScript (VBE) file, which functionally provides the ability to load and run other files.

Upon enabling the macro in the Microsoft Word document, an encoded VBScript called HATVIBE is launched. The script then is used used to drop additional malicious payloads, including a keylogger (LOGPIE) and the CHERRYSPY backdoor. Both Python-based malware are protected using the PyArmor utility....

"Some Refuse to Learn and They Will Get Pounded Like The Rocks are Pounded into Sand by The Relentless Ocean Waves." "IndyWatch Feed World"

Dog Poet Transmitting.......

I think this says what many of us have been thinking for some time. The World of Lies that seduce our eyes and deceive our minds is crumbling because there is nothing to hold it up anymore. It has no invisible means of support, and it is The Invisible that makes all that is visible... possible. OBVIOUSLY... things are going to change in a big way.

We each see The World through the lenses of our appetites and desires. One might say the left eye represents the atavistic hungers... restrained... or by degrees running wild through the human vehicle, and... that the right eye represents that which one sees every day... in real life or the mind's eye... and desires to possess. That would be one way of putting it.

Behind it all is a world of numbers and symbols that are perverted for self-interest or... which reflect the unhindered expression of The Will of God. It's all The Will of God... turned to self-injury or... the greater good. Depending on your intentions and aspirations... you fall into one of these camps, depending on whether you are deluded or... you have your mind's eye open.

Of course... there are degrees of Evil, just as there are degrees of Good. These are the two polarities in The World of appearances. Here it is that we play Pong in the eternity of The World of Change... in The World of Nature... in The World External.

There are two pools of origin from which... what you might call avatars... come forth into manifestation. I use those terms ONLY for the purpose of illustration, and you get Stalin... or Mao or... you get Buddha... or Christ. My thoughts are not precise, but we certainly did get Stalin and Mao, and we certainly did get Buddha and Christ.

I'm not going to argue whether or not the historical Jesus Christ was ever a real person, BUT... that there was some personification of that being is beyond any doubt... in my mind... because of the legacy that followed.

Congress wants to force AM into every new car for emergency alerts.

The fight over the future of AM radio got a little more heated this week as organizations representing the auto and technology industries told Congress that its plan to mandate this mode of radio wave reception is poorly conceived and will hinder progress.

AM radio has seen almost every other in-car entertainment option come and govinyl, 8-tracks, cassettes, CDsand it might predate just about everything other than playing "I Spy," but time is catching up with this old broadcast technology. It is starting to get left behind as new modelsmany of which are electric vehiclesdrive off into the sunset, streaming their audio instead of modulating its amplitude.

AM radio isand will remainan essential communications channel for emergency alerts and for disseminating news and other important information to residents of our district and communities across our country. I am proud to co-lead this bipartisan legislation which would ensure that EVs continue to be equipped with this basic but critical capability," said Rep. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), another co-sponsor.

Somalias Oil-Rich Puntland Region to Hold Landmark Elections "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

Somalias oil-rich Puntland region will on Thursday hold its first democratic local elections since 1967, a significant turnaround for the semi-autonomous state thats long been known as a haven for international piracy and hideout for the Islamic State in the Horn of Africa.

The election will pit President Saed Abdullahi Denis KAAH party against challengers from six other parties. Puntlands electoral body said that more than 400,000 people have registered to cast ballots.

The Horn of African nation has been mired in conflict for more than three decades, and democratic elections have been repeatedly delayed by political wrangling and security challenges. Puntland is believed to be rich in oil and gas, but to date there has been little commercial extraction with most of the regions reserves remaining untapped amid long-running violence.

International groups supporting the elections, including the African Union and United Nations, said in a joint statement that the election has the potential to inform and inspire the expansion of democracy across Somalia, at all levels of government.

Who Walks in the Unwalkable Places? "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

*People walking on Bob Michel Bridge with their groceries in Peoria, IL. (Source: Strong Towns/Seairra Sheppard.)*

Growing up in the Midwest, I never once thought about what would happen if I needed to walk to a destination. As a teen, I knew if I wanted to see my friends, Id need to drive or ask for a rideand that was fine, it was just the way life was. It wasn't until I graduated from college and found myself flying to other cities (where my car couldn't fit in my suitcase) that I realized what it could be like to fend for myself, on foot. At times, when an expensive taxi wasn't an option, Id find myself walking along highways or stroads, cutting through yards in the absence of sidewalks (wondering if I should be there, but trusting my map), or squeezing along the edge of a bridge or tunnel while cars zoomed past at hair-blowing speeds.

People will walk in seemingly unwalkable places. Not necessarily because they want to, but because they have to. Whether for work, or groceries, or trying to navigate through a new place, people are going to go. And they might not have a car with which to do so.

Bob Michel Bridge in Peoria, Illinois, was once one of these dangerous, unwalkable places. Rain or shine, people could be seen walking or biking along the hardly five-foot-wide sidewalkright next to cars driving faster than the posted speed limit. Ray Lees, a member of the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission, which serves the Peoria region, noticed this on his routine commute across the Illinois River and decided to do something about it. Through a lot of work, talking to multiple city officials, and being told a change to the bridge could never happen because it was under the Illinois Department of Transportation, Lees did find a pa...

Two hikers were found dead after a flash flood swept them away and carried their bodies for miles along a Utah Canyon, say officials. Gary York, 65, and John Walter, 72, were killed in Buckskin Gulch after they were "caught by surprise and swept away by the rushing wall of water," according to Kane County Sheriff's Office. Authorities say that the alarm was raised on 21 May when a group hiking the Paria River found a dead male in the canyon, just over the border in Arizona. The male had no identification on him so deputies began looking for vehicles at trailheads in the area to try and work out who the victim was.

Ukrainian hacktivists acquired first-ever photo of the GRU hacker unit commander wanted by the FBI for meddling in the U.S. election "IndyWatch Feed War"

Ukrainian hacktivists of Cyber Resistance team together with InformNapalm volunteer intelligence community have conducted a unique intelligence operation to hack an email account of the wife of the commander of the 85th Main Center of the Special Service of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU), military unit 26165. This is one of 12 Russian intelligence officers wanted by the FBI for interference in the U.S. elections in 2016. This hacking is an important event, as the Ukrainian hacktivists have for the first time managed to obtain a photograph and some other personal documents of colonel Viktor Borisovich Netyksho, who until 2018 was in command of military unit 26165, supervising the actions of Russian hacker servicemen who committed cybercrimes against a number of countries. Netyksho was an immediate superior of another Russian hacker, lieutenant-colonel Sergey Alexandrovich Morgachev, whom the Ukrainian hacktivists had hacked earlier, causing a sensation in the Western media.

The FBI had photos of 11 officers, with the 12th and most important of them, colonel Viktor Netyksho, remaining on the FBI list without a photo, as it was impossible to obtain his photo from either OSINT or HUMINT sources.

A group of Russian insurgents known as the Freedom of Russia Legion, who are aligned with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, crossed the border with Russia's Belgorod Oblast on the 22th of May 2023. The Freedom of Russia Legion, a unit that consists only of Russian volunteers, subsequently announced that it and the Russian Volunteer Corps (a different group reportedly responsible for an incursion into the Bryansk region in March) had secured the village of Kozinka in the Belgorod region, and that its forward detachments had entered the town of Grayvoron.

A Ukrainian official acknowledged that the Freedom of Russia Legion had carried out a cross-border incursion in the area but stressed they were acting independently. [1] Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of Russia's Belgorod region, announced Monday that a ''Ukrainian military sabotage and reconnaissance group'' had entered the regions Grayvoronsky district.

For the Indigenous peoples of Colombias lower Caquet River, the lakes of Puerto Caimn form a huge maloca, a cultural and spiritual hub. This watery habitat is home to the black caiman (Melanosuchus niger), a sacred animal in their culture. According to local elders, grandfather caiman was once a man who came down to Earth from a planet of clouds and became the creature that today rules over the water and the fish. He has remained a being of important value; he is sacred, says Moiss Yucuna, an elders from the Borikada community. Thats why, wherever he is, in the depths of streams or lakes where there is no river current and where they can be left in peace there is an abundance of fish. He is the master of everything, governing the other animals. The fish always follow their grandfather caiman; they surround them, keeping close to their grandparents. In the non-municipalized area of La Pedrera in the northeast of the Amazonas department, located along the border with Brazil and on the lower Caquet River, is the Curare-Los Ingleses Indigenous Reserve. For years, those in the territory have been working to preserve and protect this reptile that, for decades, was hunted for its coveted skins, which almost led to it disappearing from the area.

In the Wild West of Outpatient Vascular Care, Doctors Can Reap Huge Payments as Patients Risk Life and Limb "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up to receive our biggest stories as soon as theyre published.

In the suburbs of Maryland, Dr. Jeffery Dormus presence is hard to miss. Hes a regular on the local TV station, which has featured him and his practice five times over the past five years. And he smiles down from an electronic billboard outside a three-story vascular center he calls The Watcher. It has a biblical reference, which is to watch over the community, he said at its 2018 opening. In response to the countrys tragedy of cardiovascular disease, the center trademarked the phrase vascular devastation, a slogan frequently invoked in its marketing, along with a claim to have saved over 34,000 lives and limbs.

Dormu and his group, the Minimally Invasive Vascular Center, have been a magnet for people with leg pain who worry they have peripheral artery disease, a condition that afflicts more than 6.5 million Americans and happens when fatty deposits narrow the arteries and block blood from flowing to the legs.

But Dormus portrayal of his practice as a heroic refuge hid a distressing statistic: The vascular surgeon was performing an invasive leg treatment more often than almost any other doctor in the country, even when his patients didnt need it and even as evidence of harm mounted.

One man had to have his leg amputated after Dormu administered multiple invasive treatments for mild pain, according to legal filings. A 62-year-old grandmother bled out and died shortly after Dormu cut into her, according to another lawsuit.

Dormus go-to procedure, the atherectomy, involved shaving blockages with blade-topped catheters. Best practices recommend that...

Far-right leader Umit Ozdag announces support for opposition candidate with promise of sending home Syrian refugees within a year

Far-right Victory Party leader Umit Ozdag delivers a press conference at his party's headquarters in Ankara on 23 May 2023 (AFP)

Turkey's far-right Victory Party leader Umit Ozdag has indicated that he will become interior minister if opposition candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu's wins the presidential run-off on Sunday.

Ozdag threw his support behind Kilicdaroglu, head of the Republican Peoples Party (CHP), during a news conference alongside the presidential hopeful on Wednesday.

He said the two had agreed to send refugees back to their home countries within a year.

In a tweet on Wednesday morning, he said he would deport foreign-born residents from Turkey, including Syrian refugees, "as the minister of interior".

"However, not only Syrians, but anyone who thinks Turkey is the world's amusement park, treats our women as concubines, turns our streets into drug havens, organises Salafist jihadists, and eats our 11 billion dollars a year will go," Ozdag said.

Ali Shamkhani has now been appointed a member of the Expediency Council and advising the supreme leader (AP)

Ali Shamkhani, who on Monday stepped down as Irans most senior security official, is planning a bid for the presidency, sources told Middle East Eye.

Before he left his post, the veteran official sought to boost his public popularity by asking Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to allow him to finalise a nuclear deal with the US, according to sources close to Shamkhani within conservative establishment circles.

President Ebrahim Raisi, a conservative judge from the principlist camp, was elected in 2021 with the backing of Irans ruling establishment.

However, his popularity, both with the public and within the establishment, has since waned as his government has failed to fix the countrys acute economic issues.

With rumours circulating that a second term for Raisi could be unlikely as a result, a source close to Shamkhani told MEE the recently departed secretary of the Supreme National Security Council is planning to run himself.

Summary: Consumption (marketing term) of content (another misnomer) on the World Wide Web has been geared towards engagement (fancy term for time-wasting), so were trying to correct this with RSS feeds and processing of news (to Separate the Wheat From the Chaff)

THE curation of Daily Links in this site is done manually with help from hand-crafted tools, developed and improved over time to better suit our needs. This morning we reported or rather attempted to report to FreeBSD that its main feed had gone really bad, critically invalid in fact.

Maybe more people will follow suit and find/gather/explore their news sans all the unnecessary cruft (tracking, pop-ups, paywalls, malicious JavaScript, autoplaying videos and irrelevant images).For those who arent keeping abreast of these developments over Git (there are several programs used), the video above gives an informal overview; there are daily routines and weekly routines for fishing out news of interest. A lot of the heavy lifting is done with Perl, Bash and Python. Browsing is done with text editors and Web browsers. After nearly 20 years of using RSS readers Ive come to the conclusion that this is the best way to get stuff done. Yesterday we shared this new article about Informant, a command-like news reader for GNU/Linux.

Global Social Media Revolution "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

You may not have really noticed but thanks to the globalization of the cell phone. just about anyone now has access to social media.

what this means is that we are all learning to extend the concept of personal community to just about anyone regardless of race creed or color. This is completely huge and it is an unintended consequence of the cell phone.

In the past we had natural communities with their own mores. with utrbanization we evolved virtual natural communities as well. now we have digitalized communities so this is huge and again it is unseen, just as virtual communities in town and city.

what this does mean is that racism itself became utterly irrelevant and passe. You can have black or white or chinese or Indian contacts open to you developing a freindship. It is happening and i am hardly an early adoptee here. however it all comes about ,we can share good will all over the world.

This can completely revolutionize our entire global culture. This means i can be welcome in the home of anyone on Earth. what is wrong about that?

And seriously we can all learn enough english to comm anyone by text. in fact our translation tools can carry us along nicely with any stranger. we are really there.

Better yet, why do we not link up with a stranger and actually email him or her Ten dollars, just because you can. Tell them it is a gift of friendship freely given. If he feels inspired ask him or her to email someone else and share the confirm back to you now you have a new friend for sure.

Shutterstock Picks Up Giphy for $53 Million After UK Blocks Metas Acquisition "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

upstart writes:

Shutterstock picks up Giphy for $53 million after UK blocks Meta's acquisition:

Shutterstock is buying Giphy for $53 million after Meta's acquisition of the popular GIF platform was blocked by the UK's competition regulator, the stock image giant has announced.

That price represents a steep discount compared to what Meta (then Facebook) reportedly agreed to pay for Giphy in 2020. At the time, Axios reported the deal was worth around $400 million, while The Guardian suggests closer to $315 million. Either way, a $53 million price tag is a bargain versus Giphy's peak valuation of around $600 million in 2016. As part of the deal, Meta will retain access to Giphy's library across its products.

Meta's acquisition of Giphy ran into trouble when the UK's competition regulator, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), ordered Facebook's parent company to unwind the deal in 2021. The CMA argued that the deal could harm competition by increasing Meta's market power, potentially allowing it to block its rival's access to GIFs or force them to hand over valuable user data in exchange for them. Although it appealed the ruling, Meta eventually agreed to sell Giphy last year.

For Shutterstock, the deal will augment its content library, expanding it to include GIFs and Stickers. The company also said it would help its "generative AI and metadata strategy." That's a bit more vague, but Shutterstock is currently using generative AI to provide imagery to its customers. Acquiring Giphy's substantial library could theoretically give Shutterstock reams of training data for future AI-based products.

"Through the Giphy acquisition, we are extending our audience touch points beyond primarily professional marketing and advertising use cases and expanding into casual conversations," Shutterstock CEO Paul Hennessy said in a statement. "We plan to leverage Shutterstock's unique...

Simulated ET to Phone Home From Mars this Afternoon "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

In science fiction movies, communicating with aliens is easy. In real life, though, we think it will be tough. Today, youll get your chance to see how tough when a SETI project uses the European Space Agencys ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter to send a simulated alien message to the Earth. The transmission is scheduled to happen at 1900 UTC and, of course, the signal will take about 16 minutes to arrive here on planet Earth. You can see a video about the project, A Sign in Space, below.

You dont need to receive the message yourself. That will be the job of observatories at the SETI Institute, the Green Bank Observatory, and the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics. Theyll make the signal available to everyone, and you can join others on Discord or work solo and submit your interpretation of the message.
