Thales exports arms all over the world. Last year, Thales Netherlands exported arms to repressive regimes in Egypt, Pakistan and Indonesia. The order for radar systems for the Egyptian Navy of €114 million was highly profitable for Thales. Egypt has a military dictatorship, thousands of political prisoners, and politically supports the Saudi led coalition in the Yemen war.

At the same time, Thales profits from militarising and boosting the borders of Fortress Europe. The company sells border security systems, mobile thermal units, and radar equipment for patrol boats to the EU and countries surrounding Europe.

Red and Black Newspapers Madrid Editorial of the issue N ° 353, February 2021.

On March 8, 2021, just a year ago was the last great demonstration that our country experienced,
8m.....

just a year in which women returned to occupy the streets as a public space.
Just one year in which we show the whole society, the whole world, that the feminist and anarcho-feminist struggle is unstoppable because the values ​​it radiates of equality, solidarity, mutual support, justice, respect, anti-violence, dignity and freedom are universal.

We women want a social revolution, a social transformation with an anti-dogmatic, anti-patriarchal, anti-capitalist, anti-sectarian and libertarian direction, and these are values ​​of social inclusion, the values ​​of integral humanism as our Free Women (Mujeres Libres) of the last century rightly said.

We women fight for a new society in which all people fit, with the enormous, rich and varied diversity that we recognize ourselves and should recognize ourselves. A society of social justice, antiracial, anticolonial, without any type of discrimination based on sex, gender or personal identity.

Spycops Bill – the encroaching police state

On the 27th of January, MPs voted 363 to 267 to remove restrictions put on the Covert Human Intelligence (Criminal Conduct) Sources Bill.

The removal gives the police the legal right to commit serious crimes such as murder, torture and sexual offences and the disgusting use of vulnerable people and children as state operatives, ensuring that they are at grave risk.

The reversal of these restrictions means that the state (including the police, the National Crime Agency, MI5, the armed forces and Prison service) are now legally allowed to commit such crimes and abuses of human rights.

SANAA, Feb. 16 (YPA) – Confidential documents reveal that Saudi Arabia and the UAE have spent millions of dollars on experts and research institutions to legalize their war on Yemen.

Documents published by the ” Hayrout” website show how Saudi Arabia and the UAE used scientists and experts to justify the war in Yemen and counter any rhetoric calling for an end to the war or seeking to uncover crimes resulting from the war and its dramatic consequences.

One of the documents showed a budget of $20 million for just one year, provided by the UAE to the Middle East Institute through the UAE realtor in the United States of America, Yusuf al-Otaiba, which has led the Institute over the past years to vigorously defend the war against Yemenis.

The documents also confirmed the involvement of the former US ambassador to Yemen, Gerald Feierstein during Aafsh regime, who is currently…
