Western censorship about Ukraine: A blatant Lie Machine

by Nicolas Cinquini, Steve Sweeney and Eva Bartlett 30th Nov 2022 via thefreeonline

senior intelligence analyst in the field of security risk management, I am a former lieutenant detective and intelligence officer within French State agencies

Thanks to journalists Steve Sweeney and Eva Bartlett for the report of this splendid illustration of censorship spirit about Ukraine in the West. On July 22, Sweeney has received a mail from Jeanne Cavelier, head of the eastern Europe and central Asia desk of RSF (Reporters sans frontières, Reporters Without Borders, a NGO which is safeguarding the right to freedom of information).

Here is from Bartlett, her article and interview of Sweeney

Are you kidding ? In the name of freedom of expression and information, RSF is demanding that satellite operator Eutelsat and the French State (20% of shares) censor the Russian media.

Russian war crimes and propaganda ? Through my remote analysis of known facts, I have detected no single Russian war crime since February 24, beginning of the Russian special military operation in Donbass and Ukraine, but a string of Ukrainian PSYOPs and even false flag crimes, in Mariupol, Bucha, Kramatorsk, Kremenchug, Chasov Yar, Vinnitsa.

Incitation of hate ? While French Nazi militants are fighting in the Ukrainian ranks, but most Western media are enforcing since February 24 a gag order about Nazism in Ukraine ?

La Muerte De Un Chaval De 19 Años En La Cárcel De Mas D’Enric

El pasado miércoles 9 de noviembre una persona de tan sólo 19 años moría en la cárcel de Mas d’Enric, en Tarragona, supuestamente por suicidio. Se trata de un joven que estaba en prisión preventiva, y pese a su edad no se encontraba en el módulo de jóvenes, sino en aislamiento.

Pero no se trata de un caso aislado. Semana tras semana personas presas de Cataluña y de todo el Estado mueren detrás de los muros que nos intentan dividir. Un goteo que va engordando la negra lista de muertos en los centros penitenciarios.

Según el Observatorio del Sistema Penal y los Derechos Humanos, en lo que llevamos de año al menos 30 personas han muerto en prisiones catalanas. Entre 2015 y 2019 murieron en las cárceles del Estado 863 personas. Cifras escandalosas que nos aterrorizan, nos cabrean, nos atraviesan.

Queremos visibilizar esa muerte y la de tantas personas que pierden su vida entre cuatro paredes. Queremos mostrar nuestra repulsa a este sistema que posibilita cerrar y separar de la vida a cientos, miles de personas. Nuestro odio a las prisiones y a la indiferencia.

Nuestra solidaridad con las familias y el entorno, que pagan también una condena. Nuestro apoyo y cariño a todos aquellos presos y presas que resisten a pesar de la represión, los malos tratos, los chantajes, las humillaciones, las contenciones mecánicas, el aislamiento y las torturas en todas sus formas.

La cárcel castiga, humilla, destruye y mata. La cárcel no puede formar parte del mundo que queremos. No es una utopía querer acabar con las cárceles, lo que es una utopía es pensar que puede vivirse en una sociedad que las permita.

¡La cárcel mata! ¡A tierra los muros de las cárceles! ¡Solidaridad con las personas presas!

Blasting the Ocean with Noise: how Sonic Pollution and Sea Mining will destroy Marine Life

We could make it stop, so why don’t we?

By David George Haskell on 28th Nov 2022. on Stigmatis/ Mining Illustrations added. via thefreeonline

An ocean of noise: how sonic pollution is hurting marine life – podcast listen here..

We were whaling with cameras, joining a flotilla of a dozen other tourist boats from harbours all around the Salish Sea. It was one of my first trips to the area, in August 2001.

The fuzz and beep of ship radios stitched a net over the water, a blurry facsimile of the sonic connections of the whales themselves. Every skipper heard the voices of the others, relayed by electromagnetic waves.

The quarry could not escape. “Whales guaranteed” shouted the billboards on shore.

We motored on, weaving around island headlands. A sighting off the south-west shore of San Juan Island. Through binoculars: a dorsal fin scythed the water, then dipped.

The SUNRISE Project – the dawning of sound science of the deep

Another, with a spray of mist as the animal exhaled. Then, no sign. But the whales’ location was easy to spot. A dozen boats clustered, most slowly motoring west, away from the shore. We powered closer, slowing the engine until we were travelling without raising a wake and took our place on the outer edge of the gaggle of yachts and cruisers.

A sheet of marble skated just under the water’s surface. Oily smooth. A spill of black ink sheeting under the hazed bottle glass of the water’s surface. Praaf! Surfacing 15 metres ahead of the boat, the exhalation was plosive and rough.

The pod of about 10 animals came to the surface. Part of the L pod of orcas, our captain said, one of three pods that form the “southern residents” in the waters of the Salish Sea between Seattle and Vancouver, often seen hunting salmon around the San Juan Islands. Others – “transients” that ply coastal waters and “offshores” that feed mostly in the Pacific – also visit regularly.

The L pod continued west, heading toward the Haro Strait. Our engines purred as the U-shaped arc of boats tracked the pod, leaving open water ahead of the whales.

False choice’ – is deep sea mining required for an electric vehicle revolution?

Western Media outlets demand US drop ‘Forever Jailing’ vengeance against Julian Assange for telling Truth on US killings

from Al Jazeera and news agencies on 29th Nov 2022 via thefreeonline

The United States must end its prosecution of Julian Assange, top global media organisations have urged, saying the US indictment against the WikiLeaks founder threatens free expression and freedom of the press.

US charges against WikiLeaks founder threaten press freedom and set ‘dangerous precedent’, US and European media say.

In an open letter on Monday, five leading media outlets denounced the US’s prosecution against Assange, who is wanted on 18 counts, including a spying charge.

“This indictment sets a dangerous precedent and threatens to undermine America’s First Amendment and the freedom of the press,” wrote the editors and publishers of The New York Times, The Guardian, Le Monde, Der Spiegel and El Pais.

“Holding governments accountable is part of the core mission of a free press in a democracy.”

The letter comes exactly 12 years after the media outlets published revelations gleaned from WikiLeaks’s release of more than 250,000 confidential US military records and diplomatic cables, known as “Cablegate”.

The material was leaked to WikiLeaks by then-US soldier Chelsea Manning and revealed the inner workings of Washington’s “diplomacy” around the world.
