Biden and Congress Are Destroying International Law for Israel – ScheerPost

Colonialism failed indigenous Australians who have had a continuous genetic and lived connection to the land for 75 years. Their land rights were usurped and unrecognized from 1778- 1992. Australians recently had the opportunity to recognize and reverse the injustice done in the referendum on the Voice but voted “No”.

Zionists have been Colonizing and voting “No” at the point of a gun continuously for less than 100 years and have been doing it in the 21st Century with the support of America in denial of the majority of nations and peoples of the world

Whether it is through more subtle means, as Biden prefers, or the all-out and blatant assault on the rule of law preferred by Republicans, the end result will be the same. This is a moment of truth for the ICC and for international law in general. The world has already failed Gaza, as it has failed Palestine for a century. If there can at least be some justice after the fact, there might at least be something to build a better world on.

PATRICK LAWRENCE: The Happiness of Others

The LNP in Australia simply can’t imagine that the Australian majority simply might not want what they do.

This is the problem with surveys such as Ipsos’s and Edelman’s — about which you are very unlikely to read anything unless you read publications such as the People’s Information Bureau (which is privately circulated) or columnists such as Alex Lo. Admitting that people who do not want what we have or to live as we live can be happy is in its subtle way devastating to our view of the world.

Let it be so: There is so very much about our worldview that must be devastated if we are to get anywhere in the 21st century worth getting to.

Half of Americans Think National News Media Mislead, Misinform the Public

Three people on a subway train read newspapers. ​

Russia-Ukraine war: Russia’s oligarchs rush to put wealth beyond sanctions

Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich super yacht Solaris has is moored at Barcelona.

Trumpers are individual privateers just doing it for themselves. There is no Trickle Down only a Trickle Up end game as far as they’re concerned. Trump is playing that out through the Capitalist Democracy of America. It’s institutional court system allows payment for justice and appeals after appeals and can  be bought. Russian Oligarchs thought they were safe in that enviroment, but are now looking for safer, more hidden and dark harbors. Their DNA like Trump’s is the same and completely transactional.

The appearance of superyachts near the Maldives and Seychelles this week illustrates the degree to which Russian oligarchs are panicking in response to the sanctions the West has imposed on Russia and the ultra-wealthy businessmen seen close to Vladimir Putin over the invasion of Ukraine.Superyachts belonging to billionaires Victor Rashnikov, Oleg Deripazska, Alexei Mordashov and Andrey Kostin are floating around the island nations, according to Bloomberg reports.
