  3. #Trump’s #Iranian campaign: an #illegal #war that risks becoming the new normal.

    The #usisraeli military action will test the fragile rules governing the use of force.

    The killing of #Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, by a US-Israeli strike is a targeted #assassination of a head of state. It also marks a grave escalation in a region already burdened with smouldering wars and fragile states.

    The consequences of the deliberate strike will reverberate across a #MiddleEast marked by the aftershocks of foreign intervention. Revulsion against the hardline regime in Tehran, or the desire for a better future for the Iranian people, does not confer a legal justification.

    Force is lawful, under the UN charter, only in self-defence against an imminent attack or with security council approval. Neither condition has been met. There was no evidence of an “instant, overwhelming” Iranian attack being prepared. What Trump’s #OperationEpicFury looks like is not pre-emption but prevention: a decision to eliminate a future risk while an enemy appeared weak. It is a war of choice. Mr Trump’s call to #overthrow a #sovereign government was extraordinary.

    Unlike pre-emptive wars, preventive ones are deemed #unlawful because they grant the powerful licence to #strikeatwill. The distinction is important; it is why many European governments rejected #Russia’s justification of its invasion of #Ukraine by claiming to head off a future threat. Law cannot be optional for allies and binding only for adversaries. The domestic foundations of Trump’s action are also shaky. There’s little public support in the US for this #attack, and #Congress was not asked to #authorise #hostilities. There will be even less appetite as the #civiliandeath toll mounts and #USsoldiers come home in #bodybags.

  4. A quotation from Thomas Hobbes

    The Obligation of Subjects to the Soveraign, is understood to last as long, and no longer, than the power lasteth, by which he is able to protect them. For the right men have by Nature to protect themselves, when none else can protect them, can by no Covenant be relinquished. […] The end of Obedience is Protection; which, wheresoever a man seeth it, either in his own, or in anothers sword, Nature applyeth his obedience to it, and his endeavour to maintaine it.

    Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) English philosopher
    Leviathan, Part 2 “Of Common-wealth,” ch. 21 “Of the Liberty of Subjects” (1651)

  6. CW: Unarmada for Gaza: Long bars, extreme content

    I know not of owt more important or harder
    than #sailing an #unarmada to #Gaza
    for all of the mothers, children and fathers
    for all the defiled #immaculata
    kids with shrapnel wound #stigmata
    them who barely dodge #bombardments
    griefstruck cardiac infarction
    heartshot by hidden marksmen
    those who’ve lost all but war-torn garments
    those whose tomb is bulldozed apartments
    maimed and starved and bereaved and #martyrs
    broken-hearted kindergartners
    to #BreakTheSiege and create a harbour
    make space for peace, for relief and #barter
    help the traumatised to heal, inshallah
    flotilla, convoy, air - yalla
    #seeds to believe in a decent harvest
    #saline treatment, cream for #psoriasis
    give them a garland, build them a larder
    arm and a shoulder to raise them harder
    and that’s just for starters we must go farther
    say “this is Palestine” like “ #ThisIsSparta! ”
    - protected under a #PeoplesCharter
    - till all vestiges of #empire are gone
    - #RightToReturn to the home they part from
    - no matter how long gone or far flung
    - reunification; no more carve ups
    - no more militarised escarpments
    - #sovereign over itself; bar none
    - Gaza to #Quds and #Ramallah are one
    - #FromTheRiverToTheSea, amen
    - if we will it, it will be - if we are among
    - #LiberateTheJails; every prisoner pardoned
    - #state #RaciaData reduced to #carbon
    - if #Netanyahu wants to cause more carnage
    - start with us because we’re #GazasPartners
    - all #GenocideApologists face full disbarment from every assocation they’re part of
    - every illegal settler shall scarper
    - the whole of the world must #RebuildGaza

  8. Russia involved in spying in Ireland (a neutral state)

    Russia is one of a small group of #hostile foreign states carrying out spying operations in Ireland

    “What we’re particularly concerned about is a handful of states who are engaged in spying activities on #sovereign soil with #malign intent,” McElgunn told RTE Radio.

  9. In at least 14 states, "Bonds for the Win" activists attempted to serve #sham #paperwork to school districts, in several cases causing commotions that required police intervention.

    And the number of people joining their cause is quickly growing as misinformation about the strategy’s effectiveness circulates.

    On the chat app Telegram, where the activists organize, Bonds for the Win’s main channel grew from 700 subscribers to nearly 20,000 in the past month. Its members focus on #schools, but they have also served paperwork to a handful of #county #commissioners and discussed plans to go after other local officials, #judges and #sheriffs with similar claims.

    Bonds for the Win is using these battles as a way of drawing in followers, demonstrating how quickly a faulty fringe tactic can generate momentum as frustrated parents join forces with conspiracy theorists.

    #Miki #Klann, a QAnon adherent in Scottsdale, Arizona, who has said she believes AIDS is a hoax and that the Earth is flat, founded Bonds for the Win in December.

    “We want the people to understand their 'sovereignty'.” Klann said in a recent video

    The group’s strategy of intimidating government bodies with paperwork has been used in the past by #sovereign #citizens
    -- loosely affiliated #rightwing #anarchists who believe federal and local governments are operating illegitimately.
