Doctor investigated

A doctor who treats patients with great pain that no one else can treat is facing threats from the DEA.

Franco foundation

mardi 28 novembre 2017 à 01:00

A foundation that celebrates former Spanish dictator Franco succeeded in blocking Madrid from changing the names of streets that commemorate the dictator's "heroes".

I suspect that this success reflects the hidden power of his supporters that remain influential in the right-wing governing party and in the state.

I don't think it is right to try to ban ideas, but the state can legitimately cut off the mechanisms of influence that they use to promote tyranny.

Meanwhile, Spain has done little to commemorate Franco's victims — those that died fighting his coup, and those that his forces murdered or imprisoned afterwards. Many of them were used for forced labor, building monuments that say little about who built them.

Fracking protesters

Protesters against fracking in England face heavy punishment under the right wing's harsh laws.

Illinois and Israel

mardi 28 novembre 2017 à 01:00

The governor of Illinois promised to give information to Israel about "terrorist" suspects — which will probably end up meaning anyone that campaigns to end the occupation of Palestine.

Reporting on Iran

mardi 28 novembre 2017 à 01:00

Leaks revealed that the bully's regime is manipulating the media by reports of crimes that it can attribute to Iranians, as a scheme to whip up support for further sanctions against Iran and destroying the nuclear deal.

This deal is why Iran does not have nuclear weapons.

The "crime" that is supposed to be horrible is hardly one we should care about at all. It does not harm or threaten the United States or its people. It only affects a corporation that imposes several injustices on its clients as standard practice.
