Basically, Caballo was refusing to follow his own rules and constantly stepping out of line so there was an attempt to create some democratic methodology by Comatoast, Zero, and Watermelon with the supprt of some other users, but, they had a backdoor in Krates which had been inactive for like a year at that point.

Can't believe that's you, what a twist.

Trump fires commissioner of preeminent nuclear safety institution

Critics warn that the United States may soon be taking on more nuclear safety risks after Donald Trump fired one of five members of an independent commission that monitors the country's nuclear reactors.

In a statement Monday, Christopher Hanson confirmed that Trump fired him from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on Friday. He alleged that the firing was "without cause" and "contrary to existing law and longstanding precedent regarding removal of independent agency appointees." According to NPR, he received an email that simply said his firing was "effective immediately."

Hanson had enjoyed bipartisan support for his work for years. Trump initially appointed Hanson to the NRC in 2020, then he was renominated by Joe Biden in 2024. In his statement, he said it was an "honor" to serve, citing accomplishments over his long stint as chair, which ended in January 2025.

It's unclear why Trump fired Hanson. Among the committee chair's accomplishments, Hanson highlighted revisions to safety regulations, as well as efforts to ramp up recruitment by re-establishing the Minority Serving Institution Grant Program. Both may have put him in opposition to Trump, who wants to loosen regulations to boost the nuclear industry and eliminate diversity initiatives across government.

In a statement to NPR, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly suggested it was a political firing.

"All organizations are more effective when leaders are rowing in the same direction," Kelly said. "President Trump reserves the right to remove employees within his own Executive Branch who exert his executive authority."

Is Iran even trying to get nukes?

>>490119
So far, no not really, they wanted nuclear power plants and the hole nuclear weapons stick was just meant as a bargaining chip for negotiations.

Although the message the US has send the world is this:
<Get nukes, or else we'll bomb your people and try to overthrow your government.

Whether Iran creates sufficient deterrent with conventional means or whether they go nuclear, i don't know, but I would be very surprised if this episode doesn't inspire a bunch of other countries to conclude that they need the nuclear stick because the neocon no-rules-based-order is scary as fuck. Unintended nuclear blow-back…

Trump says he wants to maintain nuclear limits with Russia

>U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he would like to maintain the limits on U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear weapons deployments set in the 2010 New START agreement, which expires in February.

>"That's not an agreement you want expiring. We're starting to work on that," Trump told reporters as he exited the White House on a trip to Scotland.

>It was the first time since taking office that Trump has said he wants to maintain the treaty's limits on strategic nuclear weapons deployments when it expires on February 5.

>The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or New START, is the last remaining nuclear arms reduction accord between the world's largest nuclear powers. It restricts Russia and the U.S. to deploying no more than 1,550 strategic warheads on 700 intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarines and bombers.

I heard Max Blumenthal say Milei is somehow a member of Chabad, I have no idea if he meant formally or if Milei just, like, associates closely with them… would be insane if Milei is somehow a member of Chabad, I don't think I even knew such a thing was possible.

I wish I had some idea what the image describes. Sadly, OP didn't bother to translate for us.

>>490707
Milei is privatising the water (the first image just says "resources" but that is one concrete example I am aware of) of Argentina for example, I think he will leave some part for Argentinian companies but he has already sold them to Israeli/American companies, and he also doing this with electricity etc…
The second image is about lowering taxes for rural landowners vetoing the increment of pensions.
This doesn't appear on the images but I think he is also making a program funded publicly for Israeli to go to settle on Argentina (launched at the same time he destroys the welfare)

Do you all think they're preparing the public for a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell? Seems like that's the kind of idiotic thing that Trump would think might somehow protect his reputation from the Epstein stuff.

BREAKING: Ghislaine Maxwell is seeking a Presidential pardon from Donald Trump

As the US President instructs his base to ignore the Epstein files, evidence of Trump’s long relationship has divided his base.

Now, Maxwell’s lawyer has informed the DoJ that she seeks a pardon.

>>490688
Maybe. :)

>>490689
It sounds like Trump is using his personal attorney (now Deputy Attorney General) to meet with Ghislaine privately. It's looking like Trump is looking to bargain with Ghislaine in order to pick some fall guys and avoid releasing information which implicates himself.

Anon?

What's this thread about…

Israeli-backed militants carry out terror attack in Iran
Israel's intelligence chief vowed to continue covert attacks within Iran after Tel Aviv's 12-day war with Tehran in June

Members of an Israeli-linked group carried out a terror attack in Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan province on 26 July, Iranian state media IRNA reported. At least six people were killed in the attack, as well as three attackers.

Alireza Daliri, deputy law enforcement commander in the province, told IRNA that members of the terrorist team attempted to enter the Judiciary Department in the city of Zahedan on Saturday morning.

Local security forces confronted the attackers, killing all three of them in clashes.

Two of the militants fled the scene but were killed several streets away from the Judiciary building. The third attempted to detonate a grenade but was killed before he was able to.

A mother and her one-year-old child were among those killed, Daliri said.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) in Zahedan said that 22 others were injured in the attack – the majority civilians.

Did they let the previous group go free? I hope they had another celebrity on board this time, Israel probably really wants to kill them.

The previous group was abducted, taken to Israel, then deported.

these rich western people do hate russians intensly, they would even support literal nazis for it. or maybe they themselves are nazis.

Is this stupid fucking war finally going to come to an end soon? Every time hear someone hyping up the next big Russian advance it seems like I get blueballed.

Looks like the Z-man's time is finally coming to a close. There's Maidan-style protests (likely with Maidan-style CIA support) outside the Z-man's office in Kiev against his attempts to take over an independent weapons procurement oversight agency. Some mainstream news sources on the protests:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/22/protesters-in-ukraine-denounce-law-curbing-anticorruption-agencies

It seems like the CIA has gotten the word out to its mouthpieces because all the standard NATO propaganda rags seem to be turning on Zelensky and writing negative pieces about him at once now.

>>490675
What's the deal with the agencies?

>>490675
The Duran boys did a good piece on this yesterday. Apparently these two "oversight" agencies were set up by none of than Joe Biden after the Maidan coup. It's seems more like they were tools to control the presidency rather than anything legitimately stopping corruption.

FEMA chief would report directly to US president under new bill
The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency would report directly to the U.S. president instead of the Homeland Security secretary, under a bipartisan bill announced in the House of Representatives on Thursday. The bill also would allow FEMA to reimburse states for the cost of sheltering emergency personnel after natural disasters.

Black lung disease resurges as Trump and coal bosses sacrifice miners for profit and war
Trump has promised to roll back or completely abolish government regulations over the coal industry. This includes gutting the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), established in 1971 and tasked with developing standards and procedures to improve workplace safety. In April, Trump fired 850 of NIOSH’s 1,000 employees, including hundreds at its Morgantown, West Virginia, office, the only one in the country where miners can be tested for black lung and to certify that they are eligible for black lung benefits.

Filipino Diaspora activists denounce Marcos White House visit
Filipino diaspora activists staged protests outside of the White House each day of Filipino President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s visit with US President Donald Trump. Marcos Jr. arrived in Washington, DC on July 20. On the final day of Marcos’ visit on July 22, Trump announced a framework agreement setting tariffs on Philippine exports to the U.S. at 19%, which is a reduction from the 20% tariffs Trump had originally threatened, while US goods would enter the Philippines tariff-free.

Short summary of the current situation of struggles in the UK
1) What major strike movements have there been in the country where you live, in the last 12 months?
There were very few outstanding strikes, primarily smaller disputes for regrading low paid workers within the NHS, such as the 100 day strike of phlebotomists in Gloucester. The main focus for the trade union movement is the bin workers strike in Birmingham against pay cuts, which has been going on since March 2025. There have been several ‘mass pickets’, which mobilised trade union activists and left groups from around the country. The strike becomes a political issue between the left-wing trade union movement and the governing Labour Party, e.g. the striking union Unite has suspended the membership of Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayners. The union also voted to “re-examine its relationship” with Labour over the issue, in a sign of growing divide between the union and the party who have historically worked hand-in-hand. The actual strength of the strike is not talked about much, there have been short-term occupations of scabbing temp agencies, but these actions seemed symbolic. A similar bin strike is happening in Sheffield, where Unite represents a third of the workforce.

Assembly.org.ua : From Los Angeles to Ukraine: war prolongation brings new horizons for social struggle
With the anarchist movement seemingly completely lost interest in the situation in Ukraine, the May impasse in peace talks has become a catalyst for new things not seen since last year. Following the lull and apathy described in our interview, presented on the Balkan Anarchist Bookfair 2025, a new wave of public unrest is beginning in the country. Since the evening of July 22, for the first time since 2022, political protests involving thousands of people are taking place in Kiev and a number of regional centers. The reason is the adopted law No. 12414 on curtailing the powers of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, which are being transferred from the control of Western embassies to the subordination of the Office of the Prosecutor General as oPost too long.

what is that? and how would that look like?

>>490528
Interesting idea actually. Knowledge bases have a propensity to suffer from the 'I'm the embodiment of truth' syndrome.

Without the assertion of 'Tha Truth' a opinionpedia can form. Let ideological currents be renamed to thought-collectives. And every such thought-collective can curate it's opinionated version of the pedia. If an article has several entries by multiple thought-collectives the reader can switch between them or access a diff-view that highlights opinion differences/agreements.

Not as a philosophical stance, objective reality exists after-all, but as a rejection of arbiters of truth. Because arbitration powers rarely coincides with an interest in objective reality.
