"How the military-industrial complex captured US democracy" #AlJazeera

Monbiot: "I seem to recall the country voting the Tories out last year. Part of the reason.. was their staggering incompetence and insouciance, epitomised by Liz Truss’s mini-budget. That catastrophe was, like Truss’s political career, formed and steered by the neoliberal junktanks of Tufton Street... We booted them out through the front door.. Yet they still appear to be in the house. Perhaps they came round the back..

After taking an interest in the Department for Business and Trade’s “growth school” speaker sessions for civil servants, I sent a freedom of information request.. Among the external instructors used by the department’s 'growth school' so far are no representatives from trade unions, social justice, human rights or environmental groups, and no representatives from left or liberal thinktanks such as the New Economics Foundation or the Institute for Public Policy Research. But there are four who work or have worked for the Tufton Street junktanks that surrounded Truss."

The Lever: "The Secret Curriculum That Rewired America’s Judges.. For decades, big business-funded economics courses have been pushing the nation’s judges to the right. A new study in the Quaterly Journal of Economics reveals nearly half of U.S. federal judges attended crash courses in economics at the conservative-leaning Manne Economics Institute for Federal Judges between 1976-1999 - and it changed how they behaved on the bench"

TASS: "Brazil not afraid of new US sanctions after Bolsonaro's sentencing"

You know what that means.. Time to bomb Iran.

F24: "Prisoner swap deal between France and Iran nearing 'final stages', says Tehran"

He was a "Trump whisperer?".. So many Trump whisperers..

Do not pity the man... he was a f-ing centrist, of the Blair and Clinton mold...

NYT: "U.K. Ambassador to U.S., Peter Mandelson, Fired Over Epstein Links"

Charlie Kirk was having second thoughts about being a Zio before his death..? Maybe Israel had him killed. ISR is on a bombing spree, why not an influential organizer?

There are bizarre dead zones in the map, eg SE Aleppo around the lake. Who is in charge there?

HTS took out a chunk out of the Druze (As-Suweida), and lost territory to Israel SW Damascus.
