“It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.” George Orwell: What is Fascism? 1944 https://orwell.ru/library/articles/As_I_Please/english/efasc

soz. “the poor quality of recent French Presidents: Sarkozy (2007-12) was a slimy, corrupt provincial lawyer escaped from a Balzac novel, whereas Hollande (2012-17) was a colourless bureaucrat with the charisma of a soggy baguette, and of Macron there is nothing of interest to say at all.” https://aurelien2022.substack.com/p/the-machine-stops

That's an article title I never expected to read in the UK Dail Telegraph. “This led to Operation Poseidon Archer starting in January 2024, with US and UK counterstrikes on Houthi targets. But as Saudi Arabia proved between 2015 and 2023 (and repeatedly told us) trying to disable the Houthis by kinetic strikes is like punching smoke, and so it proved.” "The Houthis have defeated the US Navy" https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/24/red-sea-houthis-us-navy-prosperity-guardian-iran-gaza/

Bonds before bombs. “From this we can see that both the families are using financial blackmail to force Egypt not to interfere in Gaza. If Egypt did, then expect the World Bank and the IMF to cause massive financial problems for Egypt, along with their banks around the world.” https://behindthenews.co.za/gaza-the-rafah-invasion-why-now/

Democracy, what democracy? “while many Americans mistakenly believe their elected representatives “represent” them and their interests, it is clear that unelected interests monopolize policymaking, enjoy unwarranted influence over those who sign off on new policies, with Americans only hearing about such policies from the media often long after any practical chance of protesting against or reversing the policy.” https://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2024/09/who-really-controls-us-foreign-policy.html

Oh my! “look at the picture of the CH-46 with its twin rotors and now imagine that the pilot is sitting where the door-gunner is, and add a nose there and a tail at the other end - now you’ve got an Osprey” https://theabjectlesson.substack.com/p/amst-15-penultimate-aviation-crackup

“So in short, the arrest of Pavel Durov appears to be pretty blatant abuse and only very tenuously connected to the legal basis given as justification. This is simply a part of the current rising wave of authoritarianism in western “democracies”.” https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2024/08/pavel-durov-and-the-abuse-of-law/
