Trauer um Action-Star - Leider kein Witz: Chuck Norris mit 86 gestorben #News #Nachrichten
I conquer, therefore I am – the United States intervention in Venezuela
Article in which I explore two dimensions of the USA's terrorist action against Venezuela, oil and the demonstration of power. As for oil, I explore two aspects. Read the article on the North West Bylines site. For more about how I see Venezuela and the 'Bolivarian revolution', see my 2019 piece on this site.
US Rep. Ro Khanna on Saturday demanded swift action from Congress to stop the Trump administration’s unauthorized military assault on Iran,
saying in a video posted to social media that “the American people are tired of regime change wars that cost us billions of dollars and risk our lives.”
“We don’t want to be at war with a country of 90 million people in the Middle East,”
said Khanna (D-Calif.), calling on Congress to reconvene for a vote on Monday.

Sonnet 129 - CXXIX
The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action: and till action, lust
Is perjured, murderous, bloody, full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust;
Enjoyed no sooner but despised straight;
Past reason hunted; and no sooner had,
Past reason hated, as a swallowed bait,
On purpose laid to make the taker mad.
Mad in pursuit and in possession so;
Had, having, and in quest to have extreme;

The Beekeeper movie is a great action film but is also a mixed bag of values making it a bad movie. Ends up being not a good vigilante movie, not a good anti-hero movie, zero suspense, wasted conspiracy potential, unapologetic copying and badly done trope of the 'John Wick as the boogyman for bad guys'.
I understand movies that just try (and many times succeed) to be mindless action movies where the plot is not the priority. But the Beekeeper movie does try to have a moral mes…

We need to start contemplating this. It’s not easy to picture; if it is easy, you’re doing it wrong. But we need to do it. We need to imagine this while we still have the capacity to imagine.
We need to make sure that there is, somewhere in this authoritarian noise, a red line whose crossing actually matters because we •make• it matter.
If enough people know where their red line is, and if enough people are prepared to take action if the regime crosses it, well, •that• helps Minnesota — and the whole world.

Just 32 fossil fuel companies were responsible for half the global carbon dioxide emissions driving the climate crisis in 2024,
down from 36 a year earlier, a report has revealed.
Saudi Aramco was the biggest state-controlled polluter
and ExxonMobil was the largest investor-owned polluter.

In recent weeks, the U.S. military has built up forces close to Iran, in what Donald Trump has referred to as an “armada.”
Trump is now deciding whether to take military action against Iran as soon as this weekend, officials said.
But unlike last June, when the United States joined Israel in attacking nuclear sites in Iran, the president’s objectives are less clear.
The "armada" includes the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, which is accompanied by three warships …

Who knows what’s next, but my expectation is for them to switch to things that are less visible, things that don’t look so bad on video. Maybe that means night raids? More likely, I’m guessing it means more rural action, targeting of remote job sites (e.g. farms), nabbing people from prisons, more activity in detention camps that disallow observers, that kind of thing.
