  1. #PooleUK #OldLifeboatMuseum shuts after #AntiMigrantProtesters target volunteers

    by Indy Almroth-Wright, 11 September 2026

    "A lifeboat museum says it has been forced to close after its volunteers were targeted by anti-migrant protesters.

    "Poole Old Lifeboat Museum said it made the decision after several incidents of 'protesters verbally assaulting our volunteers'.

    "Protesters gathered in the Dorset town after about 140 migrants arrived in a single dinghy that had crossed the English Channel, prompting a major anti-migrant demonstration in Portsmouth on Sunday.

    "After lifeboats took 120 migrants intercepted off the Isle of Wight to Eastney in Langstone Harbour, some crew members were targeted by protesters, with their photos and names shared in posts on social media accusing them of treason."

  2. A Russian asset: Trump’s policy behavior confirms evidence he was groomed by the Kremlin since the 1980s

    The “Kyiv Independent” published an explosive interview on February 26 that torched any lingering doubt about President Donald Trump’s deep ties to Russian intelligence

    Posted by Insights | Mar 8, 2025

    Excerpt: "Many Americans once dismissed reports of #Trump’s ties to Russian intelligence as wild conspiracy theories. Yet [#CraigUnger]’s findings, presented in his books 'House of Trump, House of #Putin' and '#AmericanKompromat,' outline a consistent chain of events stretching back more than 40 years.

    "Soviet operatives, later replaced by Russian #oligarchs, funneled suspicious cash into Trump’s real estate deals and played upon his narcissistic vanity. Over time, the strategy shaped Trump’s worldview to align seamlessly with the Kremlin’s long-term interests. Today, Russia reaps enormous gains as the White House methodically undermines Western unity, weakening NATO, and eroding confidence among America’s most vital allies.

    "The pattern was on full display during Trump’s U.N. address, where he castigated Ukraine for 'bringing its troubles on itself' and chided Europe for failing to 'handle its own backyard.'

    "In those remarks, he reversed decades of bipartisan consensus that the United States should confront unprovoked aggression in Europe. Instead of backing a nation under siege, Trump effectively blamed Kyiv’s government for the devastation wrought by Russian firepower.

    "Putin’s state media wasted no time broadcasting those segments, painting the U.S. president as an enlightened leader who recognizes the Kremlin’s alleged right to expand its sphere of influence.

    "Unger’s new revelations sent shockwaves through Washington circles. Once portrayed by supporters as a patriotic firebrand, Trump now looks more like a Trojan horse carefully cultivated by Russian intelligence. The journalist’s interview with the Kyiv Independent highlighted key phases of infiltration: financial bailouts for Trump when U.S. banks shunned him, orchestrated praise from Russian figures, and direct contact with individuals linked to the KGB’s successor services.

    "The result, Unger insisted, was a president whose foreign policy systematically furthers Moscow’s objectives — even if he never receives direct orders. In intelligence parlance, that is the very definition of an 'asset.'

    "Those who scoff at the notion that a sitting U.S. president could be co-opted by a foreign power willfully ignore reams of evidence. Unger references KGB files showing that Soviet handlers identified Trump’s egotism and business desperation as exploitable weaknesses. They recognized that lavish deals, flattery, and carefully timed loans could bind him to Russian interests."

  3. The unexpected relationship between U.S. #evangelicals and #RussianOrthodox

    Under #Trump and #Putin a strange alliance gets stranger.

    by John P. Burgess, August 15, 2018

    Except: "The alliance between the Russian Orthodox Church and the #BillyGraham Evangelistic Association has been especially significant. In 2015, #Metro­politanHilarion invited Franklin Gra­ham to Moscow, where he had private audiences with #PatriarchKirill and Putin. Graham later thanked the patriarch for the Russian Orthodox Church’s 'strong voice in the defense of moral values' and lauded Putin for defending biblical values 'from the attacks of secularism.' Graham further asserted that many Americans wished that someone like Putin could be their president, and he praised Russia for passing #antigay propaganda laws.

    "The visit bore more than rhetorical fruit. Graham announced that Samari­tan’s Purse, a ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, would cooperate with the Russian Orthodox Church in providing material assistance to people fleeing violence and war in eastern Ukraine, where Russia has supported an insurgency against the U.S.-supported Ukrainian government."

  4. Meanwhile, in #Germany...

    Germany is now leading the charge on #Europe’s AntiImmigration turn

    #ChancellorMerz’s new hardline course promises to accelerate the EU’s #rightward pivot on migration as the bloc prepares to implement tough measures.

    By Nette Nöstlinger

    BERLIN — "Past German governments sought to temper Europe’s most hardline impulses on migration. Now, under Chancellor #FriedrichMerz, Berlin is vying to lead Europe’s anti-immigration charge.

    "The stark shift in Germany’s migration stance under its new government promises to accelerate the EU’s #HardRight turn on migration as the bloc prepares to implement a series of new measures aimed at drastically reducing the number of asylum seekers entering Europe — and #deporting more of those who do make it. As European leaders negotiate on how to put these measures into place, those from some of the EU’s most hardline countries are welcoming Germany’s new role.

    " 'Germany is leading in some of these very important talks,' Kaare Dybvad, #Denmark’s immigration minister, told POLITICO. 'We’re happy about that.'

    "In a highly symbolic example of how Germany’s government is now seeking to propel Europe’s migration shift rather than moderate it, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt recently hosted counterparts from several European countries with tough migration stances — including #Austria, Denmark and #Poland — on his country’s highest mountain in the Bavarian Alps, the Zugspitze, adorned at its summit with a golden cross.

    " 'We want to make it clear that Germany is no longer in the brakeman’s cab when it comes to migration issues in Europe but is part of the driving force,' Dobrindt said at an elevation of nearly 3,000 meters.

    "That message is being received well in #Brussels [#Belgium].

    " 'If Germany contributes more, becomes more committed, that’s very, very positive, because we’ll simply make progress faster,' EU Migration Commissioner Magnus Brunner told POLITICO from the sidelines of the summit in #Bavaria. 'And that’s why I’m very pleased that the German government has chosen this path and is also strongly supporting the Commission in implementing the things we’ve put forward.'

    "Germany’s new willingness to lead Europe’s anti-immigration front removes one key obstacle preventing European countries from enacting policy proposals that were until recently deemed beyond the pale. Those include plans to deport migrants to third countries and to process asylum claims outside the EU, copying the #UK’s failed #Rwanda scheme, which Merz previously praised as 'something we could emulate.'

    "While Germany’s migration shift began under its previous left-leaning government, Merz’s coalition, under rising pressure from the anti-immigration #AlternativeForGermany (#AfD) — now the largest opposition party in Germany’s Bundestag — is taking a far harder course to stem the defection of conservative voters to the far right."

  5. #BorderPatrol Wants Advanced #AI to #Spy on American Cities

    A U.S. Border Patrol “Industry Day” deck also asks for #drones, seismic sensors, and tech that can see through walls.

    by Sam Biddle
    July 23 2025

    Excerpt: "U.S. Customs and Border Protection, flush with billions in new funding, is seeking 'advanced AI' technologies to surveil urban residential areas, increasingly sophisticated #autonomous systems, and even the ability to see through walls.

    "A CBP presentation for an 'Industry Day' summit with private sector vendors, obtained by The Intercept, lays out a detailed wish list of tech CBP hopes to purchase, like satellite connectivity for #SurveillanceTowers along the #border and improved radio communications. But it also shows that state-of-the-art, AI-augmented surveillance technologies will be central to the Trump administration’s #AntiImmigrant campaign, which will extend deep into the interior of the North American continent, hundreds of miles from international borders as commonly understood.

    "The recent passage of Trump’s sprawling flagship legislation funnels tens of billions of dollars to the #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity. While much of that funding will go to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to bolster the administration’s arrest and deportation operations, a great deal is earmarked to purchase new technology and equipment for federal offices tasked with preventing immigrants from arriving in the first place: Customs and Border Protection, which administers the country’s border surveillance apparatus, and its subsidiary, the U.S. Border Patrol.

    "One page of the presentation, describing the wishlist of Border Patrol’s Law Enforcement Operations Division, says the agency needs '#AdvancedAI to identify and track suspicious activity in urban environment [sic],' citing the 'challenges' posed by 'Dense residential areas.' What’s considered '#SuspiciousActivity' is left unmentioned.
    Customs and Border Protection did not respond to questions posed about the slides by The Intercept."

  6. At least 200,000 protesters rally in Munich against #FarRight #AfD ahead of German election

    February 8, 2025

    MUNICH, Germany (AP) — "More than 200,000 protesters rallied in Munich, Germany, on Saturday against #FarRightExtremism ahead of the country’s #GeneralElection.

    "The far-right, #AntiImmigrant #AlternativeForGermany, or AfD, is in second place in recent polls and has prompted widespread protests across the country before voters cast their ballots on #February23.

    "The protest at Munich’s Theresienwiese — where Oktoberfest takes place each year — brought a significantly larger crowd than expected, according to the German dpa news agency. The event’s organizer estimated the crowd could be up to 320,000 people, many of whom carried signs against the AfD with slogans like, '#Racism and #hatred is not an alternative.'

    "The protest was supported by #ActivistGroups as well as the #MunichFilmFestival, #churches and Munich soccer clubs FC Bayern and TSV 1860, among others. Police told dpa that the demonstration was peaceful.

    "Similar #protests attracted large crowds on Saturday in #HanoverGermany, #RostockGermany, and elsewhere in Germany, mirroring other demonstrations that have occurred across the country in recent weeks."

    Mass pre-emptive arrest of #ReclaimThePower #activists in #Yorkshire

    Aug 8, 2024

    22 held as police foil plot to bring #CompostToilets and #wheelchair track to #Drax #ClimateCamp

    "UPDATE 13.30: the climate camp has now been cancelled

    "Officers from the Metropolitan police this morning led local forces in a raid on Bentley Urban Farm in Doncaster, said eye witnesses. They arrested twenty two activists, who were preparing to transport infrastructure, sanitation and accessibility equipment to the upcoming climate camp at Drax power station.

    "Crashing sounds were heard from outside the site as vehicles and equipment were impounded. The detainees were taken to York police station, where they are being held for conspiracy charges: in this case, to interfere with key national infrastructure at Drax Power Station in Selby between 8 and 13 August. Media repeated the police’s claim they are “not against protest but against crime”.

    "This morning’s pre-emptive arrests, ahead of a peaceful protest, contrast sharply with the State’s failure to foil recent far right violence, said Reclaim the Power. 'Black and Brown communities are under attack with fire and bricks and the police have made the unfathomable decision to divert resources away from those communities to arrest 22 people taking equipment to make a peaceful climate protest safe and accessible', said the group in a statement."
