    Time Event
    12:47p
    Primes NOT ministering, UK

    *[The UK prime minister]'s anti-green stance exposes his reckless dishonesty. His fate is what matters, the planet can go hang.*

    12:47p
    COP28: major aspects infiltrated

    The coming UN climate conference is pervasively corrupt. UAE oil company executives are working with the event's management team.

    This is just what we would have expected the UAE emir in charge of the event to do, looking at the matter with the most jaundiced possible eye.

    12:47p
    Armenians' displacements, UN tensions

    Azerbaijan with its oil-funded arms has taken military control of Nagorno-Karabakh. Now the question is whether it will force the Armenians out — either now or later.

    Armenians have a millennium of history of Muslim conquerors seizing some of its territory and perhaps expelling them or killing them. It doesn't necessarily have to happen now. Sometimes the conquerors tolerate Christians — Islam has a tradition of tolerating Christians and Jews — but the tolerance can come and go.

    When tolerated, they are second-class citizens. Furthermore, they can be punished for violating unjust religious demands, such as the law against blasphemy, Azerbaijan's dictator may not be interested in doing that, but they are not fans of human rights.

    Extensive embezzlement, fraud, EU

    The French right-wing extremist Marine Le Pen, and 23 other members of her party, face prosecutors' request for criminal charges for redirecting some EU funds to the party staff.

    12:47p
    List of Muslims to target, US

    CAIR, a civil rights group for the rights of Muslims in the US, has sued the US government for maintaining a "terrorist watch list" which it uses to harass Muslims.

    To have a watch list to keep track of the actions of people suspected of planning terrorism is legitimate if it is used in honestly. However, the US has used this watch list to pressure Muslims with no terrorist involvement into becoming informers and snooping regularly on their friends and families.

    Furthermore, the US does not just "watch" the people on the list. It regularly harasses them as well.

    12:47p
    Local standards of welfare and safety

    SCROTUS want to override all state laws that prohibit cruelty to farm animals, and some that protect the health of farm animals too.

    12:47p
    For whom "appearance is everything"

    Many US conservative who do not give total obedience to the spirit-breaker hate him for his practice of sneering at wounded combat veterans.

    Even in the case of US wars that it should never have started, it is wrong to do that,

    The malaria struggle now

    *Eliminate malaria once and for all or it will come back stronger, UN warned.*

    12:47p
    Spacecraft workers have woken up, India

    India is gaining prestige from an impressive mission to the Moon, built by workers who did not get their salaries.

    12:47p
    Woke coalitions V global corporations

    *How unions won a 30% raise for every fast food worker in California.*

    12:47p
    US Role in Chile, a development

    *Sanders and AOC Unveil Resolution to Apologize for US Role in Chile Coup, Declassify Secret Docs.*

    I support this. The US government intentionally did a great wrong to Chile, which caused suffering of murder and torture while Pinochet was in power, followed by the suffering of plutocratist rule more or less ever since. That calls for a solemn apology.

    12:47p
    Fuel export ban, RUS

    Russia has been hit badly in the budget by difficulty in exporting petroleum.

    12:47p
    Bolsonaro insider leaks coup plot

    A witness claims that Bolsonaro discussed a coup with the heads of the Brazilian army, navy and air force, after losing the election last year.

    They may all face trial for this. I hope so!
