Los 4 hombres bajaban con las manos atadas a la espalda por el estrecho callejón del barrio de San Roque. Los falangistas no dejaban de golpearlos con las culatas de los máuser. La pinga de buey del hijo del terrateniente Bonny rajaba la piel con solo rozarla. El sobrino del Conde se quedó en la casa del viejo Anselmo Fariñas para abusar de sus dos hijas de catorce y quince años.

The Group of Seven held a de facto war summit in Hiroshima, a place that is synonymous with the horror and evil of war.
The United States-led “Group of Seven” cabal held one of their increasingly meaningless jamborees this weekend in the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The posturing of solemnity by these warmongering elites in a place that represents the ultimate barbarity of American imperialism is not only sickening in its hypocrisy and profanity. The evident lack of awareness and shame of these charlatans is a sure sign that their privileged historical charade is coming to an end.
American President Joe Biden took time out from his nation’s collapsing economy and scandals over his rampant family corruption to attend the G7 summit in Japan. He was joined by so-called leaders from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Canada as well as the premier of the host nation, Fumio Kishida. Joining the…

A group of pacifist activists has carried out a protest against the FEINDEF arms fair that is held biennially at IFEMA, to denounce the celebration of the arms hall as one of the gears that sustain militarization and wars.
The activists wanted to decorate the access to the fair with colorful shields that read “STOP WEAPON SALE” to remain anchored to them until the show was suspended.
The police have attacked and thrown them to the ground upon arrival.
There is an injured person who has been transferred to La Paz Hospital.

Other organizations such as the state coordinator Alternativa Antimilitarista-MOC, Greenpeace and CGT Zona Sur have supported the protest. “We do not want arms fairs in our city and even less in a public space managed by the City Council and the Community, such as IFEMA,” argue the organizers.
FEINDEF is an arms fair that has the support of the Ministry of Defense and is aimed at generating business opportunities for the arms industry. For the organizing organizations, this show promotes the sale of arms to countries in conflict, in collusion with the governments of Western countries.
According to the activists, “this business is one of the cogs in the perverse wheel of militarization and war: weapons intensify conflicts and generate violence and wars that force thousands of people to flee to the borders of the countries of the Global North, which armor its borders manu militari, generating an even more rounded indecent business for these companies”.
In addition to the action carried out today, Desarma Madrid has called for a protest rally against FEINDEF tomorrow, Friday, May 19, at 7:00 p.m., at the Army Headquarters (calle Alcalá, 51), under the slogan “The war start here, let’s stop it here.”

Más de una veintena de activistas han participado esta mañana en una acción directa noviolenta contra la Feria Internacional de Defensa y Seguridad para denunciar el negocio de las armas.
La protesta ha sido convocada por la plataforma Desarma Madrid, establecida en 2016 para denunciar las ferias de armamento y la creciente militarización social. En ella participan la Asamblea Antimilitarista, Yayoflautas, Mujeres de Negro, Alternativas Noviolentas, Ecologistas en Acción, la Escuela Popular de Prosperidad y BDS Madrid.
Un grupo de activistas pacifistas ha realizado una protesta contra la feria de armas FEINDEF que se celebra de forma bienal en IFEMA, para denunciar la celebración del salón de las armas como uno de los engranajes que sostienen la militarización y las guerras. Las activistas pretendían decorar el acceso a la feria con vistosos escudos en los que podía leerse “STOP VENTA DE ARMAS” para permanecer ancladas a los mismos hasta que se suspendiera el salón. La policía les ha agredido y tirado al suelo a su llegada. Hay una persona herida que ha sido trasladada al Hospital La Paz. Cerca de una veintena de personas permanecen retenidas a la espera de ser trasladadas a comisaría. Durante el desarrollo de la protesta han exhibido una pancarta con el lema “La guerra empieza aquí, parémosla aquí” y se han coreado lemas como “Señores de la guerra, fuera de Madrid”.
Otras organizaciones como la coordinadora estatal Alternativa Antimilitarista-MOC, Greenpeace y CGT Zona Sur han apoyado la protesta. “No queremos ferias de armas en nuestra ciudad y menos en un espacio público gestionado por el Ayuntamiento y la Comunidad, como IFEMA”, argumentan los convocantes.
FEINDEF es una feria de armas que cuenta con el apoyo del Ministerio de Defensa y está orientada a generar oportunidades de negocio para la industria armamentística. Para las organizaciones convocantes este salón promueve la venta de armas a países en conflicto, en connivencia con los gobiernos de los países occidentales. Según señalan los activistas, “este negocio es uno de los engranajes de la perversa rueda de la militarización y la guerra: las armas recrudecen los conflictos y generan violencia y guerras que fuerzan a huir a miles de personas, hacia las fronteras de los países del Norte Global, que blindan sus fronteras manu militari, generando un indecente negocio aún más redondo a dichas empresas”.
Además de la acción realizada hoy, Desarma Madrid ha convocado a una concentración de protesta contra FEINDEF mañana viernes 19 de mayo, a las 19:00 horas, en el Cuartel General del Ejército (calle Alcalá, 51), bajo el lema “La guerra empieza aquí, parémosla aquí”.

A new pre-print paper published at bioRxiv reveals that long after a person gets “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) with an mRNA series of injections, the spike proteins generated as a result of the shots persist in their brain tissue.
Researchers out of Germany and Denmark evaluated brain tissue samples both in mouse models and post-mortem humans, looking for the presence and distribution of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.
They specifically looked at the skull-meninges-brain axis.
They found that spike protein from the shots accumulates in the skull marrow, brain meninges, and brain parenchyma, further explaining that the “injection of the spike protein alone caused cell death in the brain, highlighting a direct effect on brain tissue.”
Even long after a “positive” covid test and infection has passed, spike proteins continue to remain lodged in the human brain. Researchers say these lingering spike proteins could contribute to long-term neurological symptoms such as brain “fog” and brain tissue loss.

Supporters of India’s main opposition Congress party celebrate after the initial results in Karnataka elections at the party headquarters, in New Delhi [Adnan Abidi/Reuters]
Exit polls after the May 10 voting in the southern Indian state of Karnataka had projected that the opposition Congress party stood a better chance of forming the next government than the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which was in power.
Yet few would have predicted the scale of the Congress victory, coming against the backdrop of the BJP’s dominance over Indian politics in recent years, and the governing party’s ability to form governments even in states where it fails to secure a majority — often using controversial means.
On Saturday, the Congress managed to win 135 of the 224 seats in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly despite those odds, securing 43 percent votes, 5 percent more than in the previous 2018 election, and 7 percent more than the BJP this time. Modi’s party, which had won 104 seats in 2018, had to settle for 66 this time. The Janata Dal (Secular), or JD-S, the third major party in the state, got 19 seats.
Central to that outcome were local political factors, said analysts. And while reverberations from the result will echo in the BJP headquarters in New Delhi, they do not necessarily portend a dramatic shift in the national mood against the incumbent prime minister.
“The Congress leadership in Karnataka stood united and the BJP crumbled under its own misgovernance and infighting,” KS Dakshina Murthy, a veteran political commentator and author from Bengaluru, Karnataka’s capital, told Al Jazeera.
“The anti-incumbency wave against the saffron party was palpable on the ground,” he said, referring to the saffron flag of the BJP.
David Bodapati, a senior journalist covering Karnataka politics for three decades, pointed out that the Congress had won by the biggest margin of any victor in the state since 1989, when it had won 178 seats securing 43.76 percent votes.
This clear majority allows the Congress to form a government on its own, as it did in 2013.
A fractured mandate in 2018 — when the BJP was the single-largest party but short of the majority mark of 113 — led to four chief ministers under two governments sworn in over five years.
That means the state is likely to have a stable government over the next five years.
