Undemocratic, NGO-registration bill, GEO
Georgia has adopted a law to label NGOs with foreign support, such as
Amnesty International and Reporters Without Borders, as "serving the
interests
of a foreign power".
There are suggestions that the adoption of this law represents an act of adherence to
Putin — but is that adherence manifest in any other way? I have not seen any described.
Meanwhile, Georgia and Russia have been hostile for decades, and sometimes even at war.
If that has changed, how did it change and when?

Jean Carroll may sue bully, again
Each time E Jean Carroll sues the bully for defamation and wins, the bully responds by
conspicuously doing it again,
He expects that this wins support from his followers, who imagine themselves joining in
his arrogance towards people weaker than he. And he figures that if he wins or steals the
election, he will never have to pay those judgments.
Can the court hit him with something more unpleasant than another
damage award that he assumes he will never pay?

The allergy to peanuts
Regularly feeding babies peanuts at
the
age of 4 months prevents 2/3 of the cases of allergy to peanuts.
This suggests that the cause of the great increase in allergy rate
in recent decades is due to a risk-averse behavior pattern.

War against Int'l Criminal Court, ISR
*Spying,
[cracking] and intimidation: Israel's nine-year "war" on the ICC exposed.*
There was no shooting between Israel and the ICC, but Israeli officials described the
fight as "war". I wish that Israel had refrained from war crimes against Palestine and Gaza.

Drought in Zambia
*"Crippling" drought in Zambia threatens
hunger
for millions, says minister.*
This is climate mayhem. We may be able to slow it and stop it, but
first we need to adopt a plan adequate to fully do the job.

Recent horrible air strike, Gaza
An Israeli air strike on
refugee
tents in Rafah killed around 45 civilians at once.
If the Israeli air force really tries not to kill civilians, it was not trying very hard
that day. The pilot could not have failed to see that the area was full of tents, if
perse considered the question.
Israel should obey the International Court of Justice, and the US should insist that it do so.
Let's not lose sight of
where we want to end up.
