Russian Troops Locked Out of Their Money as Commanders Fear Mass Defections, Partisans Report An ATESH agent embedded with the Russian brigade said the company commander collected all the personnel’s bank cards as the unit prepared to move to the Donetsk region.

In a desperate attempt to maintain control over increasingly demoralized troops, Russian commanders on the Kherson front have confiscated soldiers’ bank cards ahead of an upcoming deployment, according to the Ukrainian resistance movement ATESH.

The resistance fought valiantly to push back the fascist forces, risking arrest & harm. The fascists tried beating them, tear gassing, and water cannons to push them back. The resistance was armed with only signs, flags, and the strength of their bravery. #3E #GeorgiaProtests

Don't fall for Putin's trap, von der Leyen says on motions of censure "This is a trap. And we simply cannot fall for it," Ursula von der Leyen said as she battled two back-to-back motions of censure.

I have withdrawn this accusation, in various comments, as the evidence that I had researched, many years ago, seems to have been removed from the web, since.

I apologize and shouldn't have said that without re-researching it & having the evidence to hand.

We all make mistakes, sometimes.

This was the case. It was first raised in 2001 when Nick Kuenssberg was chairman of Coates-Viyella:

A lot of valid information has now been removed from the Internet.

Without finding more evidence, I withdraw my statement. Thanks.

I accept it was wrong of me to cite her father's deeds to criticize her.

The information I had found - politicalreformedfutures.blogspot.com/2016/05/laur... was removed, since.

It concerned a 2001 cartel monopoly, fixing price of zippers but also machines to make them. Fine was 110 million.

If I'm wrong, I apologise unreservedly. I shall try to find the evidence I published on Twitter, all those years ago. I remember finding the EEC judgment document. This may take some time.

Well. I did some research on this, some years ago. It's true that it was his company (Coates International) that was fined but he did appeal & lost the appeal. It was hard to find the information, as much of it was hidden and even more is unavailable, now. I see. I posted it on Twitter, years ago.

Could it be time for someone in the US to start a new party called the "American Green Party"?

They could use the slogan "Make America Green Again". Oh. Wait a minute....

I know this is obvious when you think about it but we don’t think about it enough: fascists have to cow & persecute decent journalists to prevent them from reporting exactly what they, the fascists, are doing. Fascist-adjacent β€˜journalists’ help by insisting that we shouldn’t call fascists facsists.

My #FBPE starter pack is up to 73 accounts. It's only in its early stages, and I'll be adding a lot more accounts.

Please share. Building networks is a vital and urgent task in the fight to defend democracy, freedom, and human rights.

The committee already said that Trump is permanently banned from it. The reason given was renaming Defence secretary to War secretary.
