U.S. forces, along with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies and ”partner”countries, conducted multiple military drills and live-fire exercises across Europe this month, from Sweden to Greece, the Department of Defense said Wednesday in a press release.

“Each of these exercises and operations dramatically demonstrated our collective conventional and special operations abilities to defend all regions of Europe,” US European Command Chief of Planning Jeffrey Rathbun said in the statement.

In Sweden, the United States Special Operations Command in Europe trained together with the Swedish Armed Forces and National Guard.

Backed by the US Navy destroyer Ross, a 16-day exercise was developed that focused on possible ”regional contingencies” in the Baltic Sea, according to the statement.

Fur industry faces uncertain future due to Covid

By Adrienne Murray
Business reporter, Copenhagen

Europe’s fur industry is back in the spotlight after Denmark’s mass culling of millions of mink following an outbreak of coronavirus at farms in the country.

This is an opportunity to ban these cruel and immoral capitalist factory farms. Though perhaps not to be shocked by the massive slaughter, as of course they were going to kill them all anyway! The bottom line is that when we keep animals they should have a good life, defined by a welfare study of their needs and instincts.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced that all mink would be slaughtered. Denmark is the world’s biggest mink producer, farming up to 17 million of the animals, and Covid has swept through a quarter of its 1,000 mink farms.

Officials say this “reservoir” of disease poses a significant health risk for humans, and worry that mutations detected in mink-related strains of the virus might compromise a future vaccine.

But images of mink mass graves and farmers in tears were followed by outcry after the government admitted its order had no legal basis. The agriculture minister has since resigned. On Saturday hundreds of tractors drove into central Copenhagen to protest about the handling of the crisis. There have also been protests in the cities of Aalborg and Aarhus.

After Years Behind Bars, Activist Who Exposed “Shadow CIA” and US Gov’t Crimes to Be Freed

Nov 23, 2020 By Don Via at via Activist Post

First reported by the Associated Press on Wednesday, November 18th, hacktivist Jeremy Hammond is finally set to be released (to a ‘halfway house’) from federal prison, 7 years and 3 days to the date from his initial sentencing, after having been incarcerated for the majority of his ten-year prison term.

‘Jeremy Hammond, who is serving a 10-year prison sentence will serve out the remainder of his term in a Chicago halfway house, a U.S. Bureau of Prison spokesman said Wednesday’

Hammond is a computer programmer, and internet activist/whistleblower associated with the hacktivist network Anonymous who had been sentenced to ten years imprisonment on November 15, 2013.

The sentence came about for breaching the servers of private intelligence firm Strategic Forecasting, Inc. also know as Stratfor, and releasing millions of internal documents to the transparency advocacy organization WikiLeaks.

This exposed evidence that the intelligence consulting firm had been conducting illegal operations acting as spies for hire on behalf of governments and corporations against several human rights defenders and activist groups.
