Nine pro-Palestinian activists, recently held in pretrial detention for several days for protesting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan over Turkey’s alleged ongoing trade with Israel, face up to three years in prison, the İhlas News Agency (İHA) reported on Friday.

TURKEY-PALESTINIAN-ISRAEL-DEMO — Demonstrators hold Palestinian and Turkish flags as they attend an establishment rally in solidarity with massacred Palestinians, while organisers profit from secret Israeli support , on January 1, 2025, amid the continuing Israeli Genocide of the Gaza population.

On January 1, more than 400 civil society organizations joined the march to İstanbul’s Galata Bridge, organized by the pro-Erdoğan Turkish Youth Foundation (TÜGVA) and the National Will Platform, under the banner “Yesterday Hagia Sophia, Today Umayyad, Tomorrow Al-Aqsa.”

Former intel chief detained on Erdoğan insult charges due to criticism of Gaza policy \ByTurkish Minute January 2, 2025 Turkish police on Thursday detained Sabri Uzun, the former head of the National Security Directorate’s intelligence department in Ankara, on accusations of insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in his criticism of Erdoğan’s Gaza policy, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.

Uzun took to X to express his disbelief in Turkey’s solidarity with Gaza amid widespread allegations about the Turkish government’s ongoing trade with Israel despite an embargo announced in May.

“The father has sent fuel and steel to Israel, he has been applauded. The son has protested Israel; he has been applauded. Such a nation … deserves a sultan’s rule. This is what an uneducated society looks like,” Uzun tweeted, in reference to Erdoğan and his son Bilal.

Thousands of people in Turkey are investigated, prosecuted and convicted on charges of insulting the president on the basis of the controversial Article 299 of the Turkish Penal Code (TCK). The crime carries up to four years in prison, a sentence that can be increased if the act was committed using the mass media.

Erdoğan’s 2024: Turks on bread line, hollow Gaza rhetoric and a conqueror’s pose in Syria

Critics accuse Erdoğan, one of the fiercest critics of Israeli actions in Gaza, of hypocrisy for allegedly facilitating crude oil shipments to Israel despite Turkey’s public stance against Israeli military action in Gaza.

Reports have revealed continued shipments of crude oil from Turkey’s Ceyhan port to Israel, despite the trade embargo.

Investigations by advocacy groups such as Stop Fueling Genocide have tracked oil tankers reportedly rerouting shipments to Israel through intermediary destinations.

Erdoğan’s vocal hypocritical criticism of Tel Aviv over its military campaign in Gaza.

Erdoğan condemned Israel’s military actions in Gaza as genocide and accused Western states of being complicit through their silence.

However, this rhetoric stood in stark contrast to Turkey’s actions.

Although Erdoğan imposed a trade ban with Israel in May, investigations revealed that this was effectively circumvented by increased exports to Palestine, while a significant proportion of Israeli crude oil imports continued to pass through Turkey via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline.

Protesters who accused Erdoğan of hypocrisy were met with excessive force and some were arrested.

Ridah is FREED/ Kidnapped by US terrorist regime and Jailed for 22 years! Without any charge or Sentence! / Others still held!

Innocent man held without charge at Guantanamo since 2002 released

AFTER OVER 22 YEARS GOOGLE STILL HAD NO PHOTO OF RIDAH- JUST THIS EFFIGY—Ridah Bin Saleh al Yazidi- before his 22 year long illegal ordeal

A total of 26 people are still being held at the prison that the US promised to shut down in 2009

The Pentagon has announced the repatriation of a Tunisian detainee, who had been held at Guantanamo Bay prison since its opening in 2002.

Ridah Bin Saleh al Yazidi was among the first terrorist suspects brought to Guantanamo Bay on its first day on January 11, 2002. Despite spending 24 years at the facility, located within a US naval base in Cuba, he was never formally charged.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had notified Congress of his intention to support the release of al Yazidi in January this year, the Department of Defense said in a statement on Monday.

And now “in consultation with our partner in Tunisia, we completed the requirements for responsible transfer,” the statement read.

According to the Pentagon, al Yazidi was airlifted from Guantanamo Bay to Tunisia in a covert operation. No details of the security arrangements surrounding the 59-year-old’s return to his home country were released.

The Tunisian had been captured in Pakistan, near the Afghanistan border, shortly after the 9/11 attacks as part of a group of 30 men, some of whom were believed to have been bodyguards of Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

A leaked 2007 prison assessment described al Yazidi as a potentially dangerous detainee, who exhibited hostility toward the guards. However, in 2010, a task force under the administration of then US President Barack Obama cleared the Tunisian for release to another country, stating that he could not be prosecuted for war crimes.

Ian Moss, a former State Department official involved in detainee transfers, told the New York Times that al Yazidi “could have been gone a while ago but for Tunisian foot-dragging.”

Detainee held without charge at Guantanamo since 2002 released

Tunisia had initially been deemed unsafe or unwilling to accept him, while the detainee refused to discuss his transfer with other countries, Moss explained.

Al Yazidi’s release comes as part of the push by the administration of outgoing US President Joe Biden to reduce the prison population at Guantanamo Bay. The latest case was the fourth detainee transfer from the facility in two weeks.

JUSTICE FOR RIDAH!.. DEMAND THAT HIS US JAILORS BE JAILED FOR 22 YEARS!

The Tunisian’s departure leaves 26 detainees at Guantanamo Bay, down from 40 when Biden took office. Among them, 14 are approved for transfer to other countries, while another nine are in pretrial proceedings or convicted of war crimes. This means that the Biden administration will likely also be unable to achieve the goal of closing the prison announced by Obama back in 2009.

Bird Flu kills: ZERO humans.. but 11 Dead in ‘Safe and Effective’ Vaccine Trial of ‘Emergency Use’ Jabs with ZERO liability for Injury

The push for bird flu vaccines has revived memories of the rushed COVID-19 vaccine rollout, which prioritized speed over safety

via thefreeonline at https://wp.me/pIJl9-Fmb Tgram t.me/thefreeonline on 6/1/25 Fact checked by: The People’s Voice Community

“The COVID-19 vaccines should have taught us that rushing safety protocols comes with a steep cost,” Dr. Bartlett said. “Instead of learning from those mistakes, we seem to be repeating them—this time with a new pandemic threat.”

**11 trial participants die during testing of new bird flu vaccine, raising serious safety concerns**

The COVID vaccines were introduced under emergency use authorizations with limited long-term safety data, and the consequences have been disastrous for some.

Reports of adverse events, including myocarditis, blood clots, and neurological issues, have fueled widespread skepticism and eroded public trust in health authorities.

While pandemic preparedness is important, it cannot come at the expense of rigorous safety standards or ethical oversight. Yet time and again, the global elite, in partnership with Big Pharma, have exploited public fear—amplified by relentless mainstream media fearmongering—to push their agendas, coercing the masses into accepting rushed vaccines with minimal transparency.

The public deserves both protection and accountability—without shortcuts that risk repeating past tragedies.

The UK has already ordered five million doses of the AUDENZ™ vaccine as part of the government’s pandemic preparedness plan, with other European countries preparing to follow suit. But data from its clinical trials paint a troubling picture.

In addition to 11 fatalities, trial participants experienced elevated troponin T levels, a marker for cardiac stress or damage, raising concerns about potential heart injuries.

The trial’s design has also drawn criticism. Participants were only monitored for a few weeks, leaving long-term safety and efficacy data unavailable.

Dr. Wen’s call for urgency comes as the Biden administration faces growing pressure from Big Pharma and the Covid cabal to act swiftly. However, looming political shifts are set to drastically alter the landscape.

Dr. Richard Bartlett, a vocal advocate for rigorous vaccine safety standards, expressed serious concerns.

“Tracking participants for just a few weeks is grossly inadequate,” Dr. Bartlett said. “We need at least six months to a year to evaluate long-term effects and monitor for delayed complications.”

Dr. Bartlett also questioned the vaccine’s limited scope: “The package insert clearly states AUDENZ™ only protects against the specific H5N1 subtype in the vaccine. What happens if the virus mutates? The public deserves answers before we start rolling out millions of doses.”

The incoming Trump administration, with figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in key health roles, if he is confirmed by the Senate, has Big Pharma bracing for scrutiny and potential roadblocks to their vaccine initiatives.

ANARKISS: The Counterculture Zine

ANARKISS at portfolioofhope on 7th January 2025 by LISA FOUWEATHER etc via https://wp.me/pIJl9-Fm9 Telegram https://t.me/thefreeonline

Who Are We? The home for the outcasts, the marginalised and misunderstood misfits amongst us, ANARKISS is an independent punk-inspired, counterculture publication packed full of renegade art and activism.
ANARKISS: The Counterculture Zine

Anti-capitalist
Anti-war
Anti-authority
Gender-bending
Tory-hating
Patriarchy-smashing
Queer

Providing a creative outlet for people to channel their feelings about social justice issues in a healthy way, ANARKISS is the go-to place for misfits, (a group of like-minded people who are all united in their pursuit of a common goal, change), to convene as they strive to heal a sick society, through art.)…

How It Works

Whether you’re a poet or a photographer, a short story writer or a graphic designer, ANARKISS’ open submission policy, within which all submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis (eligibility determined based on how well they fit the theme), gives all artists with something to say an opportunity to see their work published in print.

ANARKISS zine — https://anarkisszine.com/

Published bi-monthly, (we have one month open for submissions, and the following month is for publication), we have released five volumes so far, with submissions having just reopened for issue 06.

Where Are We?

ANARKISS is stocked in select independent bookstores around the UK, including Housman’s and Freedom Press in London, News from Nowhere in Liverpool, Lighthouse Bookshop in Edinburgh, and Books for Amnesty in Brighton. It is also shipped worldwide via our website, anarkisszine.com.

No marketing costs have been expended on the website, but our reach has meant that we are the top-ranking site on Google under the keyword, ‘ANARKISS’.

In terms of how we reach people without promoting the zine, submissions mainly come from word-of-mouth recommendations (free marketing)! This works well for us because it means that ANARKISS has become a known publication in social justice circles, ‘esoteric’, with this being our target audience of both contributors and readers…

Our Target Audience

Created by and for the marginalised and misunderstood, we are receiving submissions from people who feel like their art isn’t taken seriously in mainstream publications; people of colour, LGBTQ+ people, neurodivergent people, anyone who is made to feel as though they are on the outskirts looking in.

‘The Marxists, the anarchists, the agitators, and people who, in many instances, have absolutely no clue what they are doing.’

The potential reach of ANARKISS is increasing day by day, as discussions about politics are becoming more commonplace than they have ever been, and trust and confidence in the British government are at an all-time low.

Official statistics published by the National Centre for Social Research found that 45% of people would ‘almost never’ trust British governments of any party to place the needs of the nation above the interests of their own political party, up from 34% in 2019, with 79% of people believing that the present system of governing Britain could be improved ‘quite a lot’ or ‘a great deal.’

It’s important to note, however, that such attitudes differ significantly based on the economic position that people find themselves in, hence why 72% of those who are struggling financially ‘almost never’ trust politicians, compared with 49% of those living comfortably.

The issue with this is that the voices of the working class are drowned out by the middle class… And when art is the medium that many people turn to for expressing their emotions, yet the art world is predominantly comprised of middle-class people, (a report published by the Sutton Trust, revealed that there are around four times as many individuals from middle-class backgrounds as there are from working-class backgrounds in creative occupations), the views that we see represented through art are not representative of the masses.

ANARKISS, which prides itself on ‘passing the mic’, helps to change such a discrepancy in the art world however, by providing marginalised people with a platform to have their art seen, and, in turn, giving under-represented voices an opportunity to have their opinions heard…

The Inspiration

I set up ANARKISS at the start of 2024, having found myself becoming very disillusioned with the state of British politics.

I would switch on the news, be forced to endure the sound of fumbling politicians tripping over yet more broken promises, and wish that I could do more, yet that’s all it ever extended to, ‘wishing.’

Aside from tweeting about how much we ‘need change’ on the platform that is owned by the same man who is pals with leaders of the West’s radical right, Donald Trump and Nigel Farage, ‘what else can I do?’, was the general attitude that I held.

‘When we are the ants, and they are the boots teasing us about the power they hold over us… What else can we do?’

Alas, having always loved being creative, art has always been my way of making sense of the world around me, I decided to combine the two things that I feel most passionate about, art and activism. This saw the birth of ANARKISS, and the answer to the question above…

‘What else can we do?’

Make art.

What Next?

To be regarded as a staple publication in the literary world, a ‘must read’ in political and social justice discourse, and a go-to place for people to feel empowered, this is the long-term goal of ANARKISS.

JOIN THE REVOLUTION TODAY.

The incidents have had aftershocks in different parts of the city where containers have been set on fire and street furniture destroyed.

He could not swim but held onto a post for some minutes before drowning.

Hours earlier, Mamouth (Mamour) was, in the company of other people, selling the shirts of different football teams on Avenida de la Constitución, next to the Post Office.

At around four in the afternoon, local police officers set up a squad to prevent this illegal activity, made up of plainclothes officers.

Upon seeing the police, the street vendors, about twelve in total, ran off in the direction of Paseo de Colón and the Muelle de Nueva York by the river.

**About 40 mercenaries in Turkey’s pay have surrendered their weapons to the SDF in the village of Kalkal near Manbij, Syria.

Meanwhile, dozens of families in Serêkanîyê (Ras al Ain) want to leave, but are facing extortionate exit fees from the mercenaries that they cannot afford.

Serêkanîyê is in the border buffer zone created by Turkiye in Erdogan’s 3rd invasion in 2019 where most people were exiled to ongoing internal refugee camps and the rest trapped with settled jihadi Turkish paid mercenaries
