Ex-US ambassador Victor Manuel Rocha charged over spying for Cuba

A former US diplomat who served as ambassador to Bolivia has been charged with working as an agent of the Cuban government for more than 40 years.

Victor Manuel Rocha, 73, is accused of helping Cuba gather intelligence against the US since 1981.

Mr Rocha referred to the US as "the enemy" and claimed his work as a secret agent "strengthened the Revolution", according to court papers.

to our based comrade doing his part to support the revolution. There’s a long history of Americans acting on behalf of Cuba and completely befuddling the US deep state, because they can’t fathom someone risking everything not for money, but for ideals. It only took you assholes over 40 years to figure him out, good job (makes jerking off motion)

Earlier today I went out to walk to the corner store to grab some stuff. When I rounded the corner that a busy bus stop is on someone who was waiting for the bus had a seizure and went down HARD, smashed up their face, teeth and glasses. While I and a two of my unhoused neighbors stayed to provide aid, every single other person there (about 15) got on the bus and left her for dead on the sidewalk. She was overweight, the three of us were barely able to move her onto a bench to keep her upright and talking as we waited for an ambulance to come.

The most heart wrenching thing I've ever experienced is someone who just had a seizure, passed out and hit their head, try to tell me, as they can hardly speak, that they can't afford to go to the hospital. I stayed with her until the ambulance came, trying to talk to her to keep her conscious.

I'm a street medic, this isn't the first time I've had to give aid to someone who had a seizure. It is never any less terrifying. The most twisted part is that a lot of people with epilepsy don't need medical assistance afterwards, and it's important not to call an ambulance because we neither have enough to pick up everyone who needs emergency medical care, and the excessive cost of medical care in this county completely ruins people's lives. I hate it here so much. DEATH TO AMERIKKKA

idk if anyone has pointed this out yet, but I feel like it can't be a coincidence that the US govt, US media/propagandists, and Israeli propagandists are all talking about sexual violence suddenly, almost 60 days into the genocide... within a week of a poll coming out that showed a double-digit disparity between women in the US and men in the US supporting Israel's military actions (phrased in the most uncharitable way).

Like, idk if this is conspiracy-theory sounding, but it seems like in an effort to temper Biden's complete loss of the electorate, and that they think that generating some kind of me-too controversy over Palestinian resistance will score them a real victory or something. It is just so seemingly manufactured. They saw a demographic that they think typically falls in line during election times (women, especially young women) and they just decided to run with this in the most cynical way possible because SA is something that young women actually care a great deal about.

tbh, it feels the same with the congressional grilling of university presidents a few days after declaring that anti-zionism is anti-semitism. Israel knows that a ton of pro-palestinian organizing is happening on college campuses or by college groups, and the only way to really stop that quickly is to create a climate where college administrators. Things like canary mission are losing their potency as pro-palestinian consciousness has been raised, but college administrators are a (relatively) small group that are typically over-paid and already obsequious towards donors (private schools) or political pressure (for state schools). It seems like the high degree of coordination that existed before oct 7th. I am sickened to think that the US/Israeli propaganda complex is finding its footing, but tbh I think I am also too disconnected from corporate media to see if any of it is even working in the first place.

Due to American cluster bombing campaigns advised by Kissinger during the Vietnam War to damage supply lines, over 2 million tonnes of ordinance were dropped on Laos over about a decade, averaging a planeload of bombs every 8 minutes. Laos is thus the most bombed country on the planet up to this point. 80 million bombs failed to explode - the cleanup operation is expected to take centuries, and 25,000 people have been killed and injured by bombs in the last 50 years. About 50 people are killed or injured every year to this day.

Holy shit.

The F-35 works perfectly fine, unless there happens to be birds in the sky, in which case all bets are off.

The flagship fifth-generation US fighter jet has met its match in South Korea: a bird. The South Korean Air Force has decided to retire an F-35A that was damaged when it hit an eagle last year, because repairs would cost more than the $85 million cost of buying a new one.

The decision was announced on Friday, when the Air Force revealed that an analysis of the damaged jet showed that repairs would cost at least 140 billion won ($108 million) and would take four years to complete. The plane’s maker, US defense contractor Lockheed Martin, assisted in the review, which found that the bird strike had damaged around 300 components, including the engine, navigation system and airframe.

...

The jet was flying at an altitude of 330 meters (1,082 feet) when it reportedly struck an eagle over North Chungcheong province, in central South Korea. The bird was sucked into the plane’s air intake, damaging systems required for navigation and operating landing gear. The pilot made an emergency belly landing at a base in Seosan, about 80km (50 miles) southwest of Seoul.

It takes 4 years and $108 million to fix the damage caused by an eagle being sucked into the airtake. Complete paper tiger.

The US blew up a Minuteman III nuclear missile early because it failed a test last month

A test launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California went awry "due to an anomaly" early Wednesday morning, according to a press release from the service. The cause of what went wrong with the nuclear-capable missile is still being investigated.

...

The intercontinental ballistic missiles were first put into service in the 1970s, with an original planned lifespan of 10 years. The Minuteman III has been in the service now for more than 50 years. The Air Force is planning to phase it out for the LGM-35A Sentinel, made by Northrop Grumman, and aims to reach the essential operating number of the new missiles sometime in 2030.

You know all the western cope about Russia's nuclear missiles probably not working? Well, Russia's missiles are maintained by a whole-ass branch of the military explicitly tasked with missile defense. Meanwhile, the US is using fifty year old missiles, forty years past their planned service life, maintained by a branch of the military that definitely believes wunderwaffen jets that don't work are cooler places to dump cash than ballistic missiles.

Good takedown of propaganda that the US and the Zionist Entity are in disagreement and the US is pressuring the entity to play nicer.

The War on Gaza Resumes: Washington Is the Source of the Plague

"Who holds the United States accountable? No one. The United States prevents any [international] accountability of “Israel” as well. The United States prevents any interruption in the war of extermination on Gaza. Washington, which participates in the killing of Gaza’s people, claims from its podiums and some of its directed media outlets to reject the war and make efforts to stop it. But the truth lies elsewhere.

Why does the US administration openly lie?

The answer is it wants to silence domestic United States entities that have begun to voice objections to Washington’s continued support for Israel, especially after the numerous massacres against civilians. According to a memo obtained by the US media outlet Politico and published on November 6th, officials at the State Department believed that Washington should “publicly criticize Israel ’s violations of international norms such as failure to limit offensive operations to legitimate military targets” and it’s “excessive use of force against Palestinians.” The memo revealed that US diplomats believe that the official opinions of Washington “contributes to regional public perceptions that the United States is a biased and dishonest actor, which at best does not advance, and at worst harms, US interests worldwide.”

It can be concluded that Washington decided to publish so-called leaks about the existence of disagreements between the Biden administration and the Netanyahu government, and another [so-called leak] about Washington’s efforts to pressure “Tel Aviv” to be less aggressive in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, in an attempt to pacify Americans who are sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, or those who are no longer able to cover for and justify Israeli crimes. The White House is absolutely insistent on completing its regional project: the normalization between Arab countries and “Israel,” eliminating Hamas and all resistance factions in Gaza, and placing the Palestinian Authority in charge of the Gaza Strip on “Israel’s” behalf.

In this context, it must be emphasized, once again, that Washington directly manages the “Israeli” war on Gaza. All US statements about the necessity of continuing humanitarian ceasefires are nothing but sheer lies. It’s enough to remember that before the start of any new “Israeli” military phase, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrives in Tel Aviv to oversee the military plans and participate in setting its political boundaries. Since the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood Blinken has come to the occupied Palestine three times. The first was at the start of the military campaign when he stated, “I come here as a Jew.” The second was before the start of the ground operation, and the third was on Thursday, November 30th, hours before the ceasefire was broken and the military aggression resumed. In all three instances, Blinken participated in Israeli War Cabinet meetings.

Once again, this should not come as a surprise. The United States of America is waging war on the Palestinian people."

Israeli army tells WHO to remove medical supplies from southern Gaza: Tedros

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says the World Health Organization was notified by the Israeli miliary that it should remove supplies from its two medical warehouses in southern Gaza “within 24 hours, as ground operations will put them beyond use”.

“We appeal to Israel to withdraw the order, and take every possible measure to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and humanitarian facilities,” the WHO director-general said in a post on X.

BelTA - Lukashenko identifies source of funding for resolving all climate problems 01/12/2023

Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “Everyone looks for sources of funding to reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. They are easy to find. First of all, it is necessary to stop wars and conflicts on the planet and everything that goes with it. And we will find about $5 trillion. It is five times as much as what we are trying to find today in order to reduce emissions.”

Speaking about prospects of the establishment of peace in Ukraine, the Belarusian leader referred to the speech of his Brazilian counterpart. In particular, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva pointed out that $2 trillion spent on weapons last year should have been spent on fighting hunger and climate change instead of wars.

Foreign reporters asked the head of state about his stance on the conflict in Ukraine and pointed out that Vladimir Zelensky had not come to the summit. “Ukraine has been invited. Vladimir Zelensky should have been here. He may still be on the way. The forum is not over yet. He will come,” Aleksandr Lukashenko remarked.

Euronews - Wind of change: Germany gets serious about plans to make military 'fit for war' 15/11/2023

But with the Ukrainians struggling to push Russia back on their crucial southeastern front, Germany is trying to push things further. And Scholz's defence minister, Boris Pistorius, is now talking about Germany's defence posture in terms unlike anything heard since the country was reunified in 1990.

Writing in newspaper Tagesspiel recently, Pistorius called for "fundamental changes" to the German army, the Bundeswehr, which he said needs major structural reform "to be effective and fit for war in the future".

That phrasing is starkly different from the relatively tentative way German governments have addressed military strength in recent decades – and in his final paragraph, Pistorius wrote in even more strongly unilateral terms that will have made many thinkers and policymakers in Berlin uncomfortable.

"We need a change of mentality not only in the Bundeswehr, but also in politics and society," he declared. "At stake is the security of our country, and thus the foundation for social coexistence, progress and economic growth. As a state and a society, we need to be able to defend ourselves and be resilient so that we can continue to live in peace, freedom and security in the future."

Xi Jinping tightens control over China’s financial system

Dec 7, 2023, 5:04pm GMT

Karina Tsui

In an effort to assert greater dominance over the country, the Chinese Communist Party announced Thursday that financial institutions should move away from “Western financial theory” and abide by Marxist principles.

In a paper published in Qiushi, the party’s official theoretical journal, Communist officials note that a “capitalist ideology and social system” creates “a huge gap between rich and poor” and also “triggers recurring economic and financial crises.”

Officials said that financial institutions should “strike a fine balance between functionality and profitability” but that “functionality always comes first.”

Financial analysts are concerned that, even as Beijing welcomes foreign business, such transactions will be subject to strict government oversight.

Politics will “further dictate China’s finance,” a professor at the University of Hong Kong told the New York Times, “effectively moving China even closer to how it was before the reforms started in 1978.” Since the death of former Chinese leader Mao Zedong, the Chinese Communist Party showed signs of liberalizing society, including in the economy, and financial institutions were encouraged to pursue profits. But as Xi rose to power, he vowed to reverse reform. Thursday’s announcement shows that Xi is working towards formally cementing party ideology in the country’s financial system, though the paper did not address how leadership will tackle its ongoing financial crisis.

“Centralized and unified leadership” over financial affairs is key to solving issues in China’s financial institutions, said Beijing’s central bank governor Pan Gongsheng. In a People’s Daily article, Pan said that enterprises manage financial resources ineffectively and oversight from the party will provide them with “political and institutional advantages.” But in recent comments to bankers in Hong Kong, Pan also warned that China’s economy was embarking on a “long and difficult journey” away from its traditional means of growth — property and infrastructure investment.

Find it extremely funny/sad that people argue that US billionaire oligarchs are less evil than those in Middle Eastern oil states. The argument, after you navigate through all the facades of actually existing capitalism, basically boils down to stating that US billionaires are less evil because they don't directly make the decisions that result in government oppression, war and human rights violations to the degree that oligarchs in oil states do, it's just that the entire apparatus that allows US oligarchs to be so wealthy is based off of all those same things.

I do not find this "argument of abstraction" convincing, to say the least. Even if this somehow makes US billionaire oligarchs slightly less evil than their oil state counterparts, it is definitely not something to be proud of.

And that's before even acknowledging how those oil states came to exist in the first place. Without Western support, both capital and military, it would be impossible for these stares to exist. Saudi Arabia even admitted this recently.

In general people really do not understand how "actually existing capitalism" functions and how it is synonymous with imperialism and polarisation. You cannot seperate the means of this wealth accumulation from imperialism. One can even take this further and argue that imperialism is not merely a stage of capitalism as Lenin stated, but synonymous with capitalism itself.

Taking this further, one can argue that capitalism and it's evolutions can only be understood as a single global system comprised of polarisation (the centre - periphery model), where the periphery countries do not lag behind those in the centre, but whose structure has been changed to enable polarisation by force. Thus, imperialism is not merely the subjugation of one nation by another, which is the colloquial definition, or a specific stage of capitalism, but imperialism is rather “precisely the amalgamation of the requirements and laws for the reproduction of capital; the social, national and international alliances that underlie them; and the political strategies employed by these alliances”.

Who is really behind the Israeli mass slaughter of the people of Gaza?

Here is the answer to that question:

Israel’s dependence on the United States was stated bluntly by retired IDF Maj. General Yitzhak Brick in an interview earlier this week.

“All of our missiles, the ammunition, the precision-guided bombs, all the airplanes and bombs, it’s all from the U.S. The minute they turn off the tap, you can’t keep fighting. You have no capability. … Everyone understands that we can’t fight this war without the United States. Period.”

Period.

Another fun story from the f-35 train wreck saga:

The Air Force is trying to save 2 severely damaged F-35s by merging them into a single 'Franken-bird' aircraft

The US Air Force on Thursday said its engineers in Utah are trying to restore two damaged F-35s by rebuilding them into one fully operational stealth fighter.

While military engineers have attempted similar restorations with other aircraft, the project to create what maintenance experts called the "Franken-bird" is the first among F-35s, the Air Force said in a statement.

To assemble the Franken-bird — an F-35A Lightning II — the Air Force said it's put together a "dream team" of experts from Lockheed Martin, the F-35 Joint Program Office, the 388th Fighter Wing, and the Ogden Air Logistics Complex.

One of the jets they're working on saw its landing gear collapse in June 2020, while the other F-35 suffered an engine fire in 2014.

No seriously,

The aircraft that caught fire is estimated to have sustained $50 million worth of damage, with the rear two-thirds of its body burned, per an Air Force report at the time.

Now, the Air Force said it's trying to replace the damaged nose of the F-35 that was damaged in 2020 with parts from the jet that caught fire.

"All of the aircraft sections can be de-mated and re-mated theoretically, but it's just never been done before," said Scott Taylor, Lockheed Martin lead mechanical engineer, in the statement. "This is the first F-35 'Franken-bird' to date. This is history."

Taylor said the Franken-bird team has been documenting the project meticulously, hoping their work can develop standard repair procedures for other F-35s in the future.

Lol

The team is working out of Hill Air Force Base near Salt Lake City, where engineers had to design and build "entirely new, unique specialized" equipment, tools, and fixtures to perform the repairs away from the F-35 plant in Texas, the Air Force said.

They're trying to mormonize the f-35 lmao

All of this can fit into a Conex cargo container so it can be transported and used for other purposes in the future, Taylor said.

The project is estimated to take around five years to complete, even with the team now being months ahead of schedule. It was conceptualized in January 2020, according to Taylor, and is set to be finished in March 2025, according to the Air Force.

Two more years before we hear news of this one crashing

A single F-35A costs around $70 million to manufacture, according to Lockheed Martin.

The name Franken-bird is also a reference to the Franken-tiger fighters that the US Navy bought in the late 2000s. Northrop Grumman engineers created the Franken-tiger by replacing the nose of an F-5E built for Switzerland with the nose of an F-5F.

Disease spreading as 1.8 million people squeezed in area the ‘size of an airport’

Israel’s push to relocate Palestinians in Gaza to a small area in the south is making it impossible to deliver aid and driving up the risk of disease, Bushra Khalidi, a Ramallah-based legal expert and rights campaigner with Oxfam, warned.

“Squeezing people into a space that is basically as big as London’s Heathrow airport… is inhumane and makes it impossible to distribute aid to people,” Khalidi told Al Jazeera. “Gaza was already overpopulated… [now] we’re talking about 1.8 million people in an airport.”

Netanyahu Will Be Tried as 'the Gaza Butcher', Erdogan Predicts

“Gaza is Palestinian territory. Gaza belongs to Palestinians and it will remain so forever,” he said.

On Monday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan predicted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be tried as a war criminal in a manner similar to that in which former Serbian President Slobodan Milosvic (1941-2006) was tried.

"Netanyahu, who is now the ‘Butcher of Gaza’, beyond being a war criminal, will definitely be tried as the Butcher of Gaza just as Milosevic was judged," Erdogan said while opening the meeting of the Economic and Trade Cooperation Committee of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (COMCEC) in Istanbul.

Milosevic was arrested in 2001 and accused by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia of being responsible for war crimes and genocide that occurred during the Balkan war in the early 1990s. The trial against him, however, was never completed due to his death in prison in The Hague in 2006.

Erdogan also criticized Western countries for giving "unconditional support to Israel to kill more children" and blamed the United Nations for being an institution incapable of bringing peace or hope to humanity.

At the COMCEC meeting, the Turkish Leader also referred to the regional danger posed by Israel's possession of nuclear weapons.

“We are not going to let the issue of Israel having nuclear weapons be forgotten. Does Israel have an atomic bomb? They do, but if you ask, they say 'no'. “We know very well what that means,” Erdogan stressed.

“I would like to remind the Israeli rulers who pursue different ambitions once again that Gaza is Palestinian territory. Gaza belongs to Palestinians and it will remain so forever,” he said, as reporte by TRT World.

Since the bombing of Gaza began on October 7, Israeli occupation forces have injured 41,316 people and killed over 15,000 Palestinians, with 75 percent of them being children, women, and the elderly.

Fuck Joe Biden

I'm finally in Taiwan and holy shit I forgot how awful the jet lag was. I'm on Hexbear trying to keep from falling asleep. Not much has happened. Met up with some old friends and then went to visit my fiancee's family. They heard about the issue in Guatemala and asked if we'd been to jail or had someone try to kill us lmao

It's nice to be in a city where I'm not as worried about street gangs or loose pitbulls and their stupid owners. The Christmas decorations are very pretty too. Being here makes me hate the "West Taiwan" memes even more. Average person here is just as ordinary as anywhere else and fucking nobody refers to mainland China that way. They just want to live their lives and not get involved in a conflict. A few of my friends were annoyed by the Nancy Pelosi incident because they were worried she was going to cause war to break out. Others said that they weren't as worried because PRC can only saber rattle.

They also need to relax with the single use plastics. I thought the US was bad with their usage of them. Even got a plastic bag for one Taiwanese dollar at a night market.

Sure some of you've seen the pictures of the Palestinian civilians who were stripped and paraded around today. I don't know why so many have decided that they're 100% iron clad Hamas fighters (which would still be a war crime) when even the IDF said that they rounded up all the men from an area to later see if they were part of Hamas.

28% of israelis were considering leaving israel in july (Times of Israel), I would love to know how that changed in the past months.

I don't know why but for the first time in a long time I decided to check out r/worldnews to see how the assorted low level CIA/MI6 analysts and actual redditors brainwormed enough to believe them are doing now that even the MSM is acknowledging that Ukraine is going to lose and it's all looking pretty grim for them; a lot of people having struggle sessions about whether Ukraine should start drafting women and children en masse, a lot of "Russia will win a pyrrhic victory and will then collapse" cope, a few people just straight up denying reality and claiming that Ukraine is winning. Also, predictably, a shit ton of racism directed at Palestinians for distracting Daddy America from Zelensky's wholesome crusade.

40 in two days just for eye injuries, I imagine this speaks of grim numbers of other injuries and deaths.

In Germany, more than a million children live in permanent poverty. Politics could alleviate misery. The federal government has other priorities

According to a study published on Wednesday by the children's fund UNICEF, 17 out of 39 OECD and EU countries have been able to reduce the risk of poverty by ten percent since 2012. Poland, Slovenia, Latvia and Lithuania even reduced it by 30 percent. Poland, for example, by investing in family benefits, and Slovenia because it increased the minimum wage.

The Federal Republic of Germany is one of the countries in which child poverty has not been decreasing for years, but is actually increasing. According to the study with the telling name “Child poverty in the midst of prosperity,” 15.5 percent of people under 18 in this country are currently poor. 7.9 percent or more than a million children are there permanently. And that is measured conservatively, as a UNICEF spokeswoman explained to jW. The Joint Association, for example, comes to a poverty rate of more than 21 percent among those under 18 years of age. In the overall assessment of the UNICEF study, Germany still comes in 25th place out of the 39 countries examined. And therefore in the lower midfield. Countries like the USA, Great Britain, France and Switzerland are worse.

rest of article:

This reveals another important result: a low risk of poverty does not depend on the country's economic strength overall. For example, Spain and Slovenia have a similarly high gross domestic product per capita, but Slovenia has a significantly lower risk of poverty among children than Spain. In Germany, too, poverty is high relative to economic output.

To combat child poverty, UNICEF recommends expanding social security systems and improving access to educational infrastructure. Because what the Federal Republic of Germany is offering is also inadequate, according to the UN organization. When calculating the subsistence minimum, not all of children's basic needs are taken into account. Across the EU, Germany and Romania invested the least in primary education. Youth welfare services are being cut.

UNICEF sees a more family-friendly working world as a further lever. Because 69 percent of children from families without working parents are poor in this country. For children from couple families in which both parents work full-time, it is only one percent.

Conclusion of the report: "Politicians are largely in control of effectively combating child poverty." The Federal Ministry of Finance did not feel responsible on Wednesday and referred to the Family Ministry. This expressed alarm at jW and referred to the planned basic child protection.

New plans were announced on Wednesday. Federal Family Minister Elisabeth Paus (Alliance 90/The Greens) is reviewing her schedule for basic child welfare. The corresponding law should “come into force on January 1, 2025,” the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported on Wednesday from an internal government paper. The government is now examining “whether and, if necessary, how (…) adjustments are necessary on this date.” With a later or gradual introduction, the costs could fall in the introduction year of 2025. That could defuse the “problems” with the 2025 budget. Because the federal government's priority is balanced finances and not children or the poor.

I couldn't figure out why the hell Israel would destroy a high court building. Maybe Hamas's top secret Mecha Army or something is under the building?

Lukashenko and Xi exchange gifts

In addition to having full, extensive knowledge of October 7th prior to its implementation, we were also fully aware that we had set up a campsite over the location of a Hamas surveillance tunnel due to our cutting-edge tunnel-detecting technology. On October 7th, we were testing the ability of Hamas to conduct operations outside the Gaza Strip so we could best study them by plotting their fighters into an extremely complex AI program; this algorithm is currently giving us up-to-date images of strange men with 7 fingers and bizarre anatomies that we have strategically confirmed to be part of Hamas' secret supersoldier program, which we have also obviously fully infiltrated. When we set up that campsite over a tunnel, we were conducting a test into the hardness and toughness of our tentpoles to resist Islamic-style explosive devices, and we were successful in these tests. Our current program involves an intentionally-spread biological pathogen in our soldiers' food supplies, which will weed out the weak from the strong and boost the immune strength of our highly skilled special forces teams; the semen from inferior soldiers will not be extracted upon their expiration. We have full control over northern Gaza, we will soon have full control over southern Gaza, and Hamas will be fully neutralized in anywhere from two days to one year. We have lost no troops in the operation so far, and are reducing our official count of losses on October 7th to -310. That is, while 40 babies were beheaded by terrorists, we discovered that 350 new perfect Israeli children were actually born during the attack. Any images of burned cars are from a 2020 image of a Tesla factory car park. We are not taking further questions.

Former US informant pleads guilty to plotting Haitian president’s killing

Dual Haitian-American citizen attended meetings in south Florida and Haiti ahead of the assassination and faces life imprisonment

A former confidential informant for the US Drug Enforcement Administration has pleaded guilty to conspiring to assassinate President Jovenel Moïse of Haiti, whose killing in 2021 caused unprecedented turmoil in the Caribbean nation.

Joseph Vincent, a dual Haitian-American citizen who lived in the US and attended meetings in south Florida and Haiti ahead of the assassination, is the fourth of 11 defendants in Miami to plead guilty. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison on charges including conspiracy to kill and kidnap a person outside the US and conspiracy to provide material support and resources.

According to authorities, about 20 Colombian citizens and several dual Haitian-American citizens participated in the plot. The conspirators initially planned to kidnap the Haitian president but later opted to kill him. Investigators allege the plotters had hoped to win contracts under Moïse’s successor.

Vincent, wearing a prisoner’s beige shirt and pants, pleaded guilty at a hearing before federal judge José E Martínez that lasted 20 minutes. Seated next to his attorney, Kenneth Swartz, he was handcuffed and had shackles on his ankles.

“Guilty, your honor,” Vincent responded after the judge asked him how he would plead.

Vincent said he had reached a plea agreement with the prosecutors, something defendants often do in hopes of receiving a lighter sentence. Under the terms, he agreed to collaborate with the investigation, and the government said it would withdraw two accusations of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States.

The judge set his sentencing hearing for 9 February 2024.

The other defendants who have pleaded guilty are a retired Colombian army officer, Germán Alejandro Rivera García, who was sentenced to life in prison in October; a Haitian-Chilean businessman, Rodolphe Jaar, who also was sentenced to life in prison in June; and a former Haitian senator, John Joël Joseph, who was detained in Jamaica before being extradited to Miami last year and is set to be sentenced on 19 December.

They are all part of what US prosecutors have described as a conspiracy hatched in Haiti and Florida that ended with mercenaries gunning down Moïse at his private home near the Haitian capital of Port-Au-Prince on 7 July 2021. He was 53.

Vincent was close to the Haitian-American suspects James Solages and Christian Emmanuel Sanon, a south Florida resident and pastor whose ambition to replace Moïse as president led to the assassination, according to charges filed by the prosecutors. Both were among the first arrested after Moïse was shot 12 times at his home.

After the killing, Vincent maintained his innocence and told a Haitian judge that he was a translator for the Colombian soldiers accused of storming the president’s residence and killing him.

More than 40 suspects have been arrested in the case in Haiti, most of them shortly after Moïse was fatally shot in the attack that also injured his wife, Martine Moïse. Among those detained are 18 former Colombian soldiers accused of taking part in the plot and several high-ranking Haitian police officers.

In Haiti, five judges have been appointed to the case and four of them have stepped down for various reasons, including fear of being killed.

In the two years following the assassination, Haiti has experienced a surge in gang violence that led the prime minister to request the immediate deployment of a foreign armed force in October 2022. The UN security council voted to send a multinational force led by Kenya to help fight gangs in October of this year.

The deployment has been delayed, however. Kenya has said its personnel needs more training and funding, and a local high court has extended orders blocking the deployment, with a hearing scheduled for late January. No deployment date has been announced.

archive.today • Julianna Margulies Apologizes After Remarks on Black Support of Jews - The New York Times

The actress had said on a podcast that some Black people not standing with Jews after the Hamas attacks had been “brainwashed to hate Jews.” On the Nov. 20 episode of “The Back Room With Andy Ostroy,” [she] accused Black and L.G.B.T.Q. people of showing insufficient support for Israel and Jews in the United States since the deadly Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas.

Margulies, who is Jewish, contrasted Jews’ vocal support for Black civil rights in the 1960s with the present: “Now the Black community isn’t embracing us and saying, ‘We stand with you the way you stood with us?’” She added, “The fact that the entire Black community isn’t standing with us, to me, says either they just don’t know or they’ve been brainwashed to hate Jews.”

She also said on the podcast that progressive protesters on college campuses, whom she accused of “spewing this antisemitic hate,” include gender nonbinary people who, she said, “will be the first people beheaded and their heads played like a soccer ball on the field” in places run by militant Islamist groups like Hamas.

Margulies also [said] “There was a film being shown by this Black lesbian club on the Columbia campus, and they put signs up that said, ‘No Jews allowed.’” The president of LionLez, a group for queer women and nonbinary people of color at the university, had emailed, “Zionists aren’t invited,” The Columbia Spectator reported.

Margulies said that to Hamas and its ilk, members of that student club would be “even lower than the Jews — A. you’re Black, and B. you’re gay. And you’re turning your back against the people who support you?” [She] added that she was offended as someone “who plays a lesbian journalist on ‘The Morning Show.’ I am more offended by it as a lesbian than I am as a Jew, to be honest with you.”

In her statement on Friday, Margulies said that she usually seeks to “forge a united front against discrimination.”

Argentina Cringe Era begins

10 years ago, on December 8, 2013, a monument to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was destroyed in Kyiv by a crowd of fascist thugs.

spoiler

The monument was created by sculptor Sergei Merkurov for the USSR pavilion at the World Exhibition in New York (1939). On December 5, 1946, on the 10th anniversary of the Stalinist Constitution, it was installed in Kyiv, becoming a symbol of the city restored after the fascist defeat.

The figure of Lenin, 3.45 m high, was made of red polished granite and installed on a cylindrical pedestal 6.8 m high and 1.88 m in diameter. The monument itself is made of a rare material - Karelian quartzite, which was used to build the Mausoleum in Moscow.

Lenin’s words are carved on the sides of the pedestal: “With the united action of the Great Russian and Ukrainian proletarians, a free Ukraine is possible, without such unity there can be no talk of it” and “They will never defeat the people in whom the workers and peasants for the most part recognized and felt and saw that they were defending their own, Soviet power - the power of the working people, that they were defending a cause whose victory would provide them and their children with the opportunity to enjoy all the benefits of culture, all the creations of human labor.”

On the evening of December 8, 2013, the monument was toppled from its pedestal by neo-Nazi participants in the Maidan using a cable wound around the sculpture. When it fell on the asphalt, the sculpture's arm and head broke off. After this, vandals began to smash the monument with sledgehammers.

The Lenin monument is not just a piece of granite. This is a symbol of the ideas of social liberation, equality, true democracy, a symbol of the movement towards a new society without rich and poor, without poverty and exploitation, without fascism and wars. We are convinced that the fascist junta in power will be expelled from Kyiv and Ukraine, and the monument to Lenin will definitely be recreated in the same place where it was erected by the Victorious heroes of the Great Patriotic War.

No Nazis in Ukraine.

Reuters: US skips congressional review to approve emergency sale of tank shells to Israel

The Biden administration has used an emergency authority to allow the sale of about 14,000 tank shells to Israel without congressional review, the Pentagon said on Saturday.

The shells are part of a bigger sale that was first reported by Reuters on Friday that the Biden administration is asking the U.S. Congress to approve. The larger package is worth more than $500 million and includes 45,000 shells for Israel's Merkava tanks, regularly deployed in its offensive in Gaza, which has killed thousands of civilians.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken determined and provided detailed justification to Congress that the tank shells must immediately be provided to Israel in the national security interests of the United States, according to the Pentagon statement.

Israel's Merkava tanks, which uses 120mm shells, are also linked to incidents that involved the death of journalists.

The Abu Gharaib style photos have begun to emerge (CW)

The Danish union 3F who organises lorry drivers and dock workers among others have given Tesla formal notice that Danish transport workers will initiate sympathy action and refuse to handle Tesla cars destined for Sweden if the company does not recognize Swedish union IF Metall within two weeks. 3F is the first international union to initiate sympathy action in solidarity with Swedish Tesla workers who are striking for a union contract. Unions in Norway and Finland are considering similar actions.

Tesla has refused to negotiate a union contract with Swedish unions. Consequently workers at Tesla's Swedish operations are striking and Swedish unions has initiated sympathy actions denying the bazinga car maker everything from mail delivery and garbage collection to transport workers stopping shipments of cars and electricians refusing to service Tesla cars.

It has been speculation that Tesla could bypass the Swedish strike by unloading cars in Danish ports and driving them to Sweden on lorries but that loophole is closing now.

Cross-border action like this is extremely rare and it shows how serious Nordic unions take the Tesla conflict. In Nordic countries industrial jobs are almost university unionised and by refusing to sign a contract with Swedish unions Tesla is trying to disrupt the entire Nordic model of labour relations. Tesla's non-compliance with Swedish labour conventions and the resulting strike can threaten the gains of workers in all Nordic countries. Nordic unions knows this and can be expected to fight really hard to win this.
