Proof Pablo Neruda was murdered with poison
Proof that Pablo Neruda was murdered with poison.
There is no information about who poisoned him, but we can presume
this was under the orders of dictator Pinochet, who overthrew the
government of Chile in association with the US government. |

Arrests of suspects planning murder of Haiti's President
The US has arrested more suspects in planning the murder of Haiti's
President Moïse.
Moïse was effectively imposed by the US,
but it is nonetheless proper to prosecute those who murdered him. |

Nikki Haley as radical as the corruptor
Nikki Haley doesn't talk as brashly as DeMentis, but progressives
point to her record on policies and say she is as radical as the
corruptor. |

Government intervention to eliminate antisemitism
Government intervention to eliminate antisemitism (both real and
misidentified) from the Labour party has ended.
I am sure there were real antisemites in the Labour party. But since
this intervention was based on the incorrect IRHC statistical
classification criterion, the denunciations also included critics of
Israel's occupation who were not antisemites. This will eliminate
many non-racist progressives from the party. The party's unofficial
policy of imposing non-progressive candidates
will ensure that a Labour
victory will make only an incremental difference. Sure, it won't
be as bad as Tories, but how will Britain do the rest of what it needs to do?
The Labour Party will never help. |

Putin forces sent Ukrainian children to brainwashing camps
The Putin forces sent thousands of Ukrainian children (at least 6000)
to brainwashing camps to inculcate Russian identity and loyalty to
Russia.
Some of them left with their parents' permission.
Others were given no other way to leave the battlefield.
Some were cut off from all further contact with their families.
Some never came back.
I cannot tell whether this literally includes only children, or minors
of all ages up to 18. |

HSBC serving China's repression
HSBC is serving China's repression by refusing refugees from Hong Kong
access to the money they deposited in that bank.
The article claims that HDBC fabricates excuses to refuse to acknowledge
that they are the owners of their accounts. HSBC says it is obeying a
Chinese law. Either way, the UK (and potentially also the US) can punish it
for this, since it operates in those countries. |

EPA's new renewable fuel standard
The EPA needs to take care so that its new renewable fuel standard
does not backfire and encourage use of certain fossil fuels.
The planet roasters are once again trying to encourage investment in
more use of certain fuels which are only partly renewable, and doing
so by exaggeration.
China is provoking skirmishes
China is using its naval and air power as a basis for threats of skirmishes.
Just recently it provoked a small skirmish with a Philippine transport ship.
For some decades, China has been building bases on islands in the
South Chine Sea, which various countries claim. The Philippines
replies in kind by building an artificial base on a reef.
That set the scene for the skirmish.
I expect China calculates that it can attack Philippine ships with
lasers. and the Philippines won't dare retaliate because China's navy
is more powerful. The article does not mention that any one was
permanently injured, but it creates a strategic quandary. |

Paris population drain
Paris is pushing very hard to increase the number of apartments for residents,
taking steps to convert office buildings into residences, to tax second homes,
and to restrict short-term rentals of apartments. |

*Flowers and trees blooming up to 3 weeks earlier than normal in the

February is normally the depths of winter, but for two days it has been
60° outside my home in Boston. This is very dangerous.

Profits and deaths
Senator Sanders asked if it is "morally acceptable that tens of
thousands of people die each year in this country because they cannot
afford the medicine their doctors prescribe, while at the same time,
the drug companies make billions of dollars in profits."

Lobbyists to oversee bank regulations
*Bank Lobbyists Hired by Congress to Oversee Banking Regulations.*
If those ex-lobbyists are honorable and loyal to their new employer,
they might use their inside knowledge to do a very good job. But
I think that is too much to hope for.
