Prince Andrew sex accuser Virginia Guiffre ‘has days to live’ after ‘car crash’
Sex trafficking victim Virginia Guiffre has claimed she has ‘four days to live’ after being hit by a bus.

The woman abused by Jeffrey Epstein as a teenager, and who has also accused Prince Andrew, shared a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed coverered in bruises.

Bidding farewell to her loved ones ones, mum-of-three Ms Guiffre wrote on Instagram: ‘This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can.

‘I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.

‘I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. ST in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be st at the end of the day.

‘Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all xx Virginia’.

I wish that biometrics would go away entirely, but privacy regs are a good start.

Eventually face-id will get relentlessly exploited, because it's like people having their password tattooed on their forehead. And then we can go to cryptographic keys stored on tokens, which will work like regular keys except that it's more convenient, because you can have lots of keys on one token instead of a cluttered key-ring, also lock picking will get a lot more complicated.

Admittedly I didn't read it yet, i might later, I'm hesitant because the guardian might contain too much ruling ideology which could cause me mental irritation.

Anyway Melenchon (which is lefty or at least socdem) said he opposed it because the people should decide about political leadership, not the courts.

Alexander Mercuris' take is that this will boost Le Pen's political popularity. He also thinks that if Le Pen is embezzling funds then the ruling parties are most likely doing it too, and that this would damage the law, because it would loose political impartiality.

I'm wondering if this isn't the point, maybe the goal is to boost Le Pen and to damage trust in legal institutions. With an eye on the genocide in Gaza the current political leadership in France might have an incentive to damage the legal system.

The world's a sphere, can't be done. Even ignoring the complications of geography, sphere's will produce at least 2 major centers of power. Power projection diminishes with distance to the center and if you live on the surface on a sphere, you get 2 optimal spots for a center of power. If you add in geography you probably get between 5 to 7.

Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and possible presidential candidate for the Republican People’s Party (CHP), was detained on two separate charges in a police raid on his home early Wednesday morning.

The police-state crackdown sparked mass protests across the country. After hundreds of municipal workers demonstrated in front of the Şişli Municipality, hundreds of students at Istanbul University organized a protest, defying Istanbul Governorship’s four-day ban on all protests.

Police reinforcements were deployed by the police chief to the security directorate in Istanbul where İmamoğlu is being detained, while crowds gathered behind the barricades to protest his detention. Thousands took to the streets in many cities, including Izmir and Ankara.

Police detained İmamoğlu on charges of “leading [a] benefit-oriented criminal organization” along with 106 people, including mayors, municipality officials, journalists and artists. İmamoğlu and seven others, including Şişli and Beylikdüzü mayors and municipal officials, were also detained on charges of “aiding the terrorist organization,” i.e., the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

The Sosyalist Eşitlik Grubu (SEG), the Turkish section of the International Committee of the Fourth International, issued a statement on X condemning the Erdoğan regime’s police state repression, which abolishes basic democratic rights, including the right to vote and be elected, and calling for the immediate release of those detained.

So even if shit got out later, Assange clearly acted in good faith.

Idk, a public release is far from the worst scenario. The CIA gets to see that too and realize what's compromised, and likely react fast enough to do a lot of damage controle. If somebody wanted to inflict more damage they would release the information that compromises operational security to the CIA's opponents but not the public.

>It's what prompted them to plot assassination and eventually forced Assange out of the embassy.

IMHO going after Assange was not rational, it confirmed the accuracy of the information, the rational thing to do was to deny that the released information was authentic. As a spy agency the best thing is secrecy, the second best thing is ambiguity.

So Assange went back to Europe to speak about his case to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe today. He's surprisingly sharp after years in solitary confinement.

I think that might be a language bias. Lyra probably was one of the few that published in English. Most of the journalists there probably were Ukrainian and they published in their local language. But yeah the Zelensky regime went fascist, they banned most of the media, abandoned any pretense of democracy when they stopped doing elections, and they're basically snatching people off the streets, usually for military conscription but also political persecution. So they probably murdered a bunch of regime critical journalists too.

Former Spanish military man who spied on Assange for the CIA is investigated for falsifying evidence
A Madrid court opens a probe into why the owner of a security company tried to blame the former ambassador of Ecuador, now deceased, for ordering wiretaps against the WikiLeaks founder

A new legal battle has begun for David Morales, a former Spanish military man who spied on Julian Assange for the CIA during the latter’s time at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Madrid Court No. 43 is officially investigating Morales — who is the owner of UC Global S.L., the company that was in charge of security at the Ecuadorian embassy in London — for allegedly falsifying official documents and committing procedural fraud. Judge Fernando Fernández Olmedo has summoned Morales to testify as a suspect, according to court documents obtained by EL PAÍS.

The former marine allegedly forged official documents and evidence to defend himself before National Court Judge Santiago Pedraz, who is investigating him in a separate case for other crimes, including recording the WikiLeaks founder’s conversations with his lawyers inside the diplomatic mission in violation of attorney-client privilege. The spying took place as the Australian’s legal team was designing its defense strategy against the U.S. extradition request.

The opening of new proceedings at a Madrid courthouse comes after Judge Pedraz recused himself and asked the Madrid courts to investigate Morales for alleged forgery of official documents and procedural fraud. Court No. 43 has accepted Pedraz’s recusal and opened proceedings against Morales.

Since his arrest in September 2019, Morales has denied any involvement in the wiretaps against Assange, but months later, he reversed his statements and told Judge José de la Mata (the first judge to oversee the case at the National Court) that it was the former Ecuadorian ambassador to London, Carlos Abad, who had ordered him to record the conversations of the Australian cyberactivist. This confession came a few weeks after the diplomat’s death.

Microphones
To bolster his testimony, the former military officer presented as evidence, among others, an alleged email from former ambassador Abad, dated January 27, 2018, in which he asked Morales to place a microphone in the Embassy meeting room. Morales asserted that the device was only placed for testing and then removed. This vePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Apparently Romania and the US knew, at the time they accused Russia & China of interference, that the social media campaign for Călin Georgescu which preceded his electoral victory was actually funded primarily by one of the major established Romanian parties. Ryan Grim compares it to all the times the DNC has funded far-right Republicans, ostensibly to have an easier candidate to beat, although some would say that if that was, in fact, the DNC's goal then their results have been very questionable. In Romania's case, the gov't just overturned the election entirely and falsely blamed Russia.

Manila: Protesters rallied against American presence in the Philippines on Tuesday as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Manila to reinforce support against Chinese influence in the region.

The Philippines is Washington’s key security partner in Asia under a decades-long alliance, which allows the US to rotate troops into the Philippines for extended stays and build and operate facilities on Philippine military bases.

In the past two years, the partnership has expanded under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who in February last year permitted American troops to increase their footprint in the country.

China claims the disputed area almost in entirety and its military activity in the territory has been increasing, regularly encroaching on the Philippine part of the waters, the West Philippine Sea.

“These waterways are critical to the Philippines, to its security, to its economy, but they’re also critical to the interests of the region, the United States and the world,” Blinken said at a joint press conference with his Philippine counterpart Enrique Manalo.

“That’s why we stand with the Philippines and stand by our ironclad defense commitments, including under the mutual defense treaty.”

The 1951 agreement obliges the US to defend its ally in the case of external attack.

Philippine vessels have been regularly attacked by Chinese ships in the parts of the South China Sea that are internationally recognized as belonging to the Philippines.

Duterte arrested.

Philippines ex-leader Duterte arrested on ICC warrant over drug killings

Philippine police have arrested former president Rodrigo Duterte after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant accusing him of crimes against humanity over his deadly "war on drugs".

The 79-year-old was taken into police custody shortly after his arrival at Manila airport from Hong Kong on Tuesday.

Latest reports from local media say he is on board a private jet on the airport tarmac. Earlier, his daughter said he was being "forcibly" sent to the Hague in the Netherlands, where the ICC sits.

A press conference from the presidential palace is expected soon.

Duterte has offered no apologies for his brutal anti-drugs crackdown, which saw thousands of people killed when he was president of the South East Asian nation from 2016 to 2022, and mayor of Davao city before that.

Upon his arrest on Tuesday, he questioned the basis for the warrant, asking: "What crime [have] I committed?" in a video posted online by his daughter Veronica Duterte.
