Looks like it. I can see no real distinction between their morals and those of ruthless organised crime cartels.

A brilliant and horrifying article. Where there's a stench, you can be sure Cherie Blair will be defending it. Great bit of journalism even if ir renders me more depressed.

Shaking the Blairs upside down might yield some interesting artefacts too.

Hello, foreign oligarchs and corporations! Please come and sue the UK for billions | George Monbiot The case of a planned Cumbrian coalmine shows how governments around the world are being threatened by litigation in shadowy offshore courts, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I wish more people were aware of this. Considering the scale of the threat, the media's near-silence is both remarkable and culpable.

Yes, funny that... 🤔

Are you familiar with Spider Robinson?

On the Mars novels - took me a while to get into, but once I was part-way through the first, I had to order the sequels. Don't read much atm but haven't lost my interest.
fwiw, Arthur C Clarke's 'Rama' series features a Trump-like figure and wankers following him who are very 'MAGA'-like.

Ethics, fairplay, compassion, responsiblity and decency subordinated to greed and ambition. STM some kind of mental disorder.

Indeed. It's those under 60 who'll get the worst of it if a solution isn't found. Like regular crime gangs, it's all 'get rich and consolidate' ASAP, trample over anything and everyone in their quest & to hell with what happens to them, anything else and to the long-term consequences.

What makes this piece worse is that they are receiving assistance from a sitting Tory MP. Acting against the interests of your own country - what's the term for that again? But I expect he has gone into the sodding legal technicalities and loopholes...

In Kim Stanley Robinson's 'Mars' series, there are organisations on Earth, who he calls Transnationals; effectively running entire countries and seeking to include Mars in their portfolio(s) too. The first novel was published in 1992; Prophetic or extrapolating from what was already underway?

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

"We have (a target on) the backs of our warriors"?

I can see why. An adorable girl. Their lives are too brief.

My prediction.
The Epstein files will not be released. They will be leaked. By a woman as there are no brave men left.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone except shithole presidents who call women 'pigs,' POC 'animals' and opponents 'retarded' then posts over 150 times in one hour on Truth Social last night to show us he is neither stable, nor a genius.

I read this earlier, which is horrifying and outrageous. Of attempts by these immoral 🤬🤬s to stall or wreck attempts by governments to pass any laws that *may* threaten their interests - trashing the future, basically - to protect their short-term gains.

What a repugnant individual.

I've met a few calicos before but Callie is the first I've got to know, so I'm not sure either. I think they were said to be very vocal - she's certainly that! She's a totally different character to her (sadly deceased) black and white sibling but he was male so that adds an additional factor.

Only 3 weeks until the days start getting longer again ⛅

Hang in there, SAD people ❤️

"It wasn't the brain". No indeed. Can't see what's not there so no point looking.

Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov • 7m For all the focus on its supposed "left wing bias" ', the BBC's heavy coverage of Rachel Reeves Budget "lies" shows how its political coverage is still largely led by the right-wing press

I agree, but: if the main reason you are in power now is that the national press kicked seventeen shades of shit out of all your internal and external opponents and repeated every word of the drivel and horseshit you sent them as God’s honest truth, then this is just too bad.

Language of the White West media beggars belief.....

They can even white wash genocide (no pun intended).

White lives only matter. Tanned ones, not so much ......clearly.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Wonder if they're similar characters too. I read recently about a supposed link between fur colour and character. Don't know if it's true as I've not been around many cats.

Beautiful lady.

Sadie's markings and mine (Callie) are so close I thought for a moment they were identical.

Agree or disagree?
