Urgent: Moore v. United States

lundi 16 octobre 2023 à 10:05

US citizens: call on the Supreme Court to dismiss Moore v. United States.

Supreme Court members Roberts and Alito own stock in companies that could win around 30 billion dollars from a decision they will soon participate in.

There were apparent falsehoods in the claims made in the case.

Sabotaged gas pipeline

lundi 16 octobre 2023 à 10:05

A pipeline carrying fossil gas from Estonia to Finland was recently sabotaged. Finland hints that some other state did it.

I suspect that Russia did it, because having the pipeline out of service clearly benefits Putin. For a similar reason, I suspected that the destruction of the Nordstream pipelines was not done by Putin.

HAMAS not following rules of war

lundi 16 octobre 2023 à 10:05

HAMAS, as usual, has shown total contempt for the rules of war with its massacres and hostage-taking.

Israel claims to be following the rules, but in practical terms is violating them massively. Its attacks on hospitals and homes violate them, and blockage of food and medicine, are clear violations, and they could kill hundreds of thousands of civilians as the fighting continues.

*No power, water or fuel to Gaza until hostages freed, says Israel minister.* That makes it explicit. Isn't denying fuel to hospitals and water to the whole population a war crime?

Preventing civilians from fleeing the battlefield may also be a war crime. I don't know for certain but I expect so.
