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.

Surely there's a better source for this scam. The Duran boys talked about this a lot right as it was going down. A better comparison would be when one of those scammers (Fusion GPS?) involved in the initial Russiagate fabrications was caught trying to astroturf bad PR about a Republican congressional candidate around 2017 using fake Facebook posts.

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.

US defense secretary Lloyd Austin revealed yesterday the existence of the "US Task Force Ayungin", a military unit in the Philippines that has never been publicly acknowledged before.

Austin said he "met with some American service members deployed to US Task Force Ayungin" and that he "thanked them for their hard work on behalf of the American people and our alliances and partnerships in this region".

US troops are providing "guidance and training" to the Philippine military, supposedly in response to Chinese aggression.

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.

Fascism historically has lead to greater ecological exploitation, so has marxism leninism for that matter. I don't really think there's a way forward for any 20th century understanding of ideology. Marx himself was an ecologist in the making which is something that still needs to be incorporated into modern marxism. (Marx in the Anthropocene, Kohei Saito)

All of which is to say, I don't fascism is going to get you anywhere in regards to protecting the ecosystem. Strasserism itself is still productivist, it would exploit the forests all the same.

>Fascism historically has lead to greater ecological exploitation, so has marxism leninism for that matter.
This is somewhat disingenuous, you can never bring socialism into ideological proximity of fascism. Fascism caused ecological damage because they caused massive wars. ML states increased ecological exploitation to expand the productive forces. What the fascists did was completely pointless destruction, while the ML states embarked on a calculated trajectory of technological advances that would eventually raise the technical level to the point where the industrial base can be used to regenerate damage done to the biosphere.

There is fascist ecological thinking and it's main purpose is an ideological instrument to deny workers any kind of consumption of nice things.

Productivism is a necessary element of any kind of viable politics, anything else is a rehash of pseudo feudal eternal steady state politics that died with agrarianism, and is now a political dead end. Consider that the bourgoisie doesn't want workers to lay claim on the productive forces, therefore it is somewhat likely that they would push ideological subversion in the form of anti-industrial ecologism.

That is not to say that we do not have to worry about the biosphere of the planet, after-all it is the life-support system that keeps us alive. And climate change is probably worse than stated by the "officialdom". But large scale industrial technology is bound to be a useful power that can be used to fix problems too.

The conclusion is:
Industrial power in the hands of workers = good
industrial power in the hands of the bourgoisie = potentially hazardous

The primary factor are class interests. Super wealthy capitalists do not want to do anything to fix or mitigate damage done to the biosphere because they believe that their enormous wealth insulates them from the consequences (which might prove to be a false believe). While workers are definitely not insulated, and hence have a strong interests to preserve the biosphere. Many workers reject eco-austerity because they correctly perceive it as a false pretext to lower their living standards without actually doing much to fix the biosphere.

By the way, for any anons not aware PDFs are a common vector for malicious exploits because for some dumb reason Adobe thought it would be a great idea to allow the format to execute scripts. You should keep this in mind whenever you see suspicious PDFs, especially if you're on a Windows system with an insecure PDF reader.

The Iraqi biological weapons program with diseases like antiiotic resistant bacteria could be treated these days with new antibiotic combination methods to treat antibiotic resitant diseases. Or perhaps not. I have read about true or not experimental drugs to treat antibiotic resistant diseases. New drugs to treat otherwise untreatable viruses too.

From WSWs:

Greece saw a huge show of strength by the working class and youth Friday, with hundreds of thousands taking part in the largest protests in the nation’s history. They were on the streets of the capital Athens and every other major city and town to demand justice for the 57 people who died in the 2023 Tempi train crash and an end to a government cover-up.

The protests were supported by demonstrations at more than 100 Greek embassies and consulates internationally, across all six inhabited continents.

The protests, marking the second anniversary of the February 28, 2023 deaths, were called by the Association of Relatives of Tempi Victims and were even larger than those it called at the end of January. Forced to recognise the mass oppositional mood—and as with the January protests—the ADEDY public sector trade union federation and the private sector General Confederation of Greek Workers called general strikes.

Fully 265 protests were held in Greece and 112 internationally—almost 400 in total. Major international rallies included Berlin, Germany and London, Edinburgh and Manchester in the UK; Rio in Brazil; New York and Boston in the US; and Sydney, Australia.

Participation in the latest Tempi demonstrations is larger than anything that the unions can, or would ever consider mobilising, threatening the downfall of the Conservative New Democracy (ND) government of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Every inch of the main Syntagma Square in Athens was filled and its adjoining streets were packed with protesters. The rally was set to assemble at 11am, but the square was already full at not long after 8am. The daily Efimerida ton Syntakton (The Newspaper of the Editors) noted that masses of people were unable to get anywhere near Syntagma with the protest stretching as far as a kilometre away in Omnia Square and in another direction, the Propylaea.

Many brought homemade placards and banners condemning the government as “murderers” for overseeing the preventable deaths. Among the slogans chanted and on other placards were “I have no oxygen” and “Privatizations kill”.

Mankind now wrestles between the dogma of tradition and the techno-feudalist dominance of the modern age, and now our very struggles; wars are capitalized and induced by seemingly ordinary men with dead eyes and a forced grim.

Widespread industrialism annihilating millions in the courses of history, our planet seethes with unrest, the frames of reel the ordinary man is too familiar with: the skeletonization of cities and the tons of broken bottles and used tissues that bob on the surface of our freshwater—a mirroring of a larger vision; a grand flock of black swans, that of gas masks and pale steeds.

The metropolis and its machines have no match against primal wrath, the supreme weapon—an envoy of writhing hurricanes, and volcanic spew, forging the soil we march over. From magma; the father of structure, new life and order arises, a testament to the transformative qualities of fury.

The world is constantly in a state of instability, although It may predictably orbit, our world is in a constant state of adaptable chaos and the only way to destabilize our current systems global is to induce them in speeds that rival our orbit.
The difficult task is crafting the metaphorical bolt of lighting needed to disorientate and what exactly will induce the most change, societal arrest, a global—screeching halt to industrialism and the rapidly consuming forces of which make up techno-feudalism, allowing us to return to a more simpler age.

Unpredictability and uncertainty is the very essence of systemic collapse, and such we must embrace these forces as they carry us onto a new age, where only the most sinister survive, this will only purge the most useless breeds; allowing for the ones who tend towards savagery to thrive in their newer existence. Misanthropy often arises and is bred out of the weakest aspects of human nature, the anti-human sentiments of the modern age arise out of the frustrations of how members of our species could be so underwhelming or horrid beyond our wildest fantasies; however, it is crucial to note that the strong reactions that we give to those who tend towards savagery such as mercenaries and serial killers are almost entirely crafted by dogmatic institutions such as the church and the state, and inflicted onto us on very young ages to pressure us into following orders.

Even some of the wildest and chaotic of our species can become like second brothers and sisters to you, if you gave them a chPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
