<p>The outbreak of the highly contagious illness is the largest in Ontario since measles was considered eliminated in Canada in 1998 because of successful vaccination campaigns. Ontario’s outbreak is now bigger than ongoing outbreaks in the United States. Measles is preventable with vaccinations that are part of routine childhood immunization programs.</p>
<p>The vast majority of people infected have been infants, children and adolescents, 93.8 per cent of whom were unimmunized, according to Public Health Ontario. Fewer than one-quarter of the cases were in adults. Forty-two people, mostly children, were hospitalized. There have been no deaths associated with the outbreak in the province.</p>
<p>Although overall percentages of immunization are believed to be as high as the 90s across much of the province, there are pockets where very few people are vaccinated, which has allowed the outbreak to take hold and spread.</p>

<p>In the past week, 13 new cases have been reported in the South East Health Unit, which covers Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox and Addington in Eastern Ontario.</p>
<p>There have been no cases reported in Ottawa, but health officials across the city are on alert. This week, <span>Dr. Gregory Rose, director of infection prevention and control at Queensway Carleton Hospital, warned that it was only a matter of time until Ottawa saw a case.</span></p>

<p>Ottawa Public Health has begun weekly wastewater monitoring for measles in the hope that it will give health officials early warning of any cases and might help reduce possible spread. OPH has also increased access to vaccination clinics, especially for people who do not access to primary care.</p>
<p>Ontario’s ongoing outbreak is the largest in the country and comes as the U.S. is experiencing its largest outbreak in years. Health officials say a lack of trust in public health, fed by misinformation, is fueling the rise of vaccine preventable diseases and putting lives at risk.</p>
<p>Public Health Ontario says the outbreak in the province began with exposure to a travel-related case in New Brunswick. Both Ontario and Manitoba have reported cases related to that exposure, many of them in communities with low vaccination rates.</p>

<p>Academic staffing represents about 55 per cent of the total operating budget of about $1.2 billion and includes school-based and centrally-assigned roles. Discretionary academic roles include principals and vice-principals, special education teachers, English as a Second Language teachers, instructional coaches and consultants.</p>
<p>Some of the reductions will come through attrition, including retirements and resignations, not filling vacant positions and eliminating other positions. Affected staff members may go to another position or return to schools.</p>
<p>Required academic positions include classroom teachers, student success teachers, guidance teachers, learning support teachers and teacher-librarians in high schools as well as reading-intervention teachers in elementary schools.</p>

<p>The number of required teacher positions is generated by a provincial formula and is tied directly to provincial guidelines. The staffing allocation has been reduced by 46.78 full-time-equivalent positions because of a modest decrease in projected enrolment next fall due to declining birth rates and fewer international students.</p>
<p>Stephanie Kirkey, president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation’s  Ottawa-Carleton bargaining unit, confirmed that some members learned on Wednesday and Thursday that they would be affected, but did not have an exact tally of the numbers.</p>
<p>At this point, the OCDSB does not know how much it will receive in provincial funding, but senior administrators are not optimistic there will be more money.</p>

<p>“It’s unfortunate that these positions had to be cut,” Kirkey said. “The system needs more funding.”</p>
<p>Cuts to non-academic positions, which account for 26 per cent of the OCDSB operating budget, are still to come, along with a further $4 million in additional trims.</p>
<p>Non-academic positions include roles in administration, business and corporate services, employee and school support services as well as school support positions such as educational assistants, early childhood educators, office staff, social workers and psychologists.</p>

<p>A last toke for the road is going to cost an Ottawa driver $215 after the Ontario Provincial Police pulled his car over on Highway 417 on Thursday.</p>
<p>In a release, OPP said officers were able to smell marijuana from the vehicle when it was pulled over.</p>
<p>“The driver admitted to having smoked marijuana 30 minutes prior to being stopped,” OPP Const. Michael Fathi said Friday.</p>
<p>“And there was a strong odour of fresh marijuana from within the vehicle. The driver was asked to turn over any marijuana he had in the vehicle, and he complied.”</p>
<p>Under the law, marijuana must be transported out of sight in a sealed container and it cannot be open in the car, Fathi said.</p>
<p>The driver was charged with operating a motor vehicle with cannabis readily available, which is a $215 fine.</p>
<p>He was not charged with impaired driving offences.</p>

title: "Damning Conduct": FBI Agents Stationed In Asia Paid For Sex From Prostitutes Over Several Years
author: ;Tyler Durden
hash: Qq�|2A�����t
attributes: {"enclosures":[]}
content:
<div readability="92.792452830189">
<p>FBI agents stationed overseas engaged in sex with prostitutes in Cambodia, the Philippines, and Thailand—sometimes while colleagues attended anti-human trafficking training, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/world/americas/fbi-agents-in-southeast-asia-used-prostitutes-watchdog-says.html">the New York Times reported</a>.</p>
<p><strong>The "damning conduct", which occurred between 2009 and 2018, involved agents paying for or accepting sex while socializing with each other and local police, revealing a culture where women were routinely exploited.</strong></p>
<p>The report, made public after a New York Times lawsuit, offers the most detailed account yet of a scandal kept largely under wraps since the early Trump years. It surfaces as new FBI Director Kash Patel vows to overhaul the agency.</p>
<p>Prostitution is widespread but illegal in Cambodia, the Philippines, and Thailand—countries where FBI agents engaged in misconduct, despite the bureau’s ban on paying for sex and its stated focus on fighting human trafficking.</p>

<p>“The F.B.I. took swift action once alerted to the behavior,” the agency said, adding that those involved were fired and overseas personnel training has since been updated.</p>
<p><a data-image-external-href data-image-href="/s3/files/inline-images/10%20dollars.jpg?itok=r4LK7bfA" data-link-option="0" href="https://www.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/10%20dollars.jpg?itok=r4LK7bfA"><picture><img data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f1cc1d51-06a7-49d3-9cbc-066830086b83" data-responsive-image-style="inline_images" height="320" width="500" src="https://assets.zerohedge.com/s3fs-public/styles/inline_image_mobile/public/inline-images/10%20dollars.jpg?itok=r4LK7bfA" alt typeof="foaf:Image" data-sanitized-class="inline-images image-style-inline-images"></picture></a></p>
<p><strong>Some incidents occurred during official events.</strong> In 2017, agents in Bangkok twice visited bars to negotiate sex while accompanied by local police. <strong>That same year, the FBI co-hosted anti-trafficking training with Thai authorities. It's unclear if the misconduct occurred during that specific training.</strong></p>
<p>The Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/world/americas/fbi-agents-in-southeast-asia-used-prostitutes-watchdog-says.html">wrote</a> that in 2018, during another event in Manila, FBI employees accepted prostitutes reportedly paid for by a local law enforcement agency, according to the report.</p>
<p>The Wall Street Journal first reported in 2018 that several FBI employees had been recalled from Asia amid an investigation into alleged contact with prostitutes and other misconduct.</p>
<p><strong>A 2021 inspector general summary confirmed five employees had solicited sex abroad, and one had given a colleague “a package containing approximately 100 white pills to deliver to a foreign law enforcement officer.”</strong></p>

<p>The full report, now released after a legal battle with The New York Times, details multiple violations involving groups of FBI employees. In one case, agents at a karaoke bar were handed room keys or numbered slips tied to hotel rooms—at least one was a supervisor. Two employees reportedly engaged in sex acts with prostitutes while sharing a room.</p>
<p>The Justice Department under both Trump and Biden fought to keep the details sealed, citing privacy concerns. A federal judge ultimately ordered the release of the less-redacted version on Thursday.</p>

<p><strong>A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from dismantling Voice of America (VOA),</strong> the government-funded international news service whose 1,200 reporters and employees were placed on paid leave earlier this month.</p>

<p><strong>The judge, J. Paul Oetken of the Southern District of New York, on Friday <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xjoa-yPjBH2NGw3NftHof099cBc6G6Ra/view?usp=sharing">issued</a> a temporary restraining order in favor of VOA employees and their unions</strong>. The order prevents the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees VOA, from shutting down the broadcasting network and its associated radio programs.</p>

<p>VOA employees filed the lawsuit against USAGM, its acting Director Victor Morales, and special adviser Kari Lake on March 21. <strong>The <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.639139/gov.uscourts.nysd.639139.1.0.pdf">complaint</a> accused the agency of failing to fulfill its legally mandated missions and violating both press freedom and the separation-of-powers doctrine when it took a “chainsaw” to the outlet</strong>, ordering the entire staff not to report to work, turning off the service, and locking the agency’s doors.</p>
<p>In his ruling, Oetken stated that VOA was likely to succeed on its claims, noting that USAGM’s actions appeared unconstitutional. He said that Lake lacked legal authority to withhold congressionally appropriated funds or terminate USAGM staff, programming, or contracts.</p>
<p>“<strong>By withholding the funds statutorily appropriated to fully administer USAGM, VOA, and its affiliates ... the executive is usurping Congress’s power of the purse and its legislative supremacy,</strong>” he wrote.</p>
<p>The judge did not require VOA to resume broadcasts, but made it clear that employees must not be terminated while the court determines whether the shutdown violates the Constitution or other federal administrative laws.</p>
<p><strong>Friday’s order echoed a similar ruling by another district judge earlier in the week</strong>, which granted a temporary restraining order to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, blocking its funding freeze. The Trump administration has since <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25868580-government-response-in-radio-free-europe-case/">stated</a> in court filings that it has resumed funding for these outlets.</p>
<p>President Donald Trump and his supporters have been critical of VOA for years over alleged <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/03/the-voice-of-radical-america/">bias</a> against conservative Americans and in favor of America’s adversaries.</p>

<p>In 2020, the White House sent an email accusing VOA of spending taxpayers’ money to “speak for authoritarian regimes.” It took issue with, among other things, a VOA social media post featuring a video of a light show celebrating the end of the lockdown in Wuhan, the Chinese megapolis where the COVID-19 virus first emerged; as well as the agency’s characterization of China’s effort to control the outbreak as a “model” for other nations.</p>
<p>“<strong>VOA too often speaks for America’s adversaries—not its citizens,</strong>” The White House <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201223130225/https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/amid-a-pandemic-voice-of-america-spends-your-money-to-promote-foreign-propaganda/">said</a>. “Journalists should report the facts, but VOA has instead amplified Beijing’s propaganda.”</p>
<p>The VOA first began broadcasting in 1942 in German-occupied territories as part of the Allies’ effort to engage Axis propaganda broadcasts with counterpropaganda. In the following decades, it became a staple in the propaganda war against the Soviet Union and other communist regimes. Over time, it evolved into a global news organization, now operating in more than 40 languages.</p>
<p>Elon Musk, a tech billionaire and Trump’s top adviser for downsizing the federal government’s spending and workforce, has echoed calls to shut down VOA and its sister networks, arguing that they have outlived their purpose.</p>
<p>“Yes, shut them down. Europe is free now (not counting stifling bureaucracy). Nobody listens to them anymore,” he <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1888574212316582230">wrote</a> on X, accusing the outlets of being “radical left” and “torching $1B/year of US taxpayer money.”</p>

<p><strong>The high-rise building was being built for the auditor general of the Thai government by the China Railway Construction Corporation.</strong></p>
<p>The USGS’s predictive modeling estimated the death toll could exceed 10,000 people in Burma, and that losses could be greater than the value of the country’s gross domestic product.</p>
<p>In Burma, the military government has declared a state of emergency in six regions and states, including Mandalay and the capital, Naypyidaw.</p>
<p>It said on the Telegram messaging app, “The state will make inquiries on the situation quickly and conduct rescue operations along with providing humanitarian aid.”</p>

<p>The Red Cross said: “Initial reports from the ground suggest the earthquake has caused significant damage. Information on humanitarian needs is still being gathered.”</p>

<p><strong>The Burmese government’s spokesman, Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun, told state-run MRTV television channel that blood was in high demand in hospitals in Mandalay, Sagaing, and Naypyidaw.</strong></p>
<p>The president of the European Commission <a href="https://x.com/vonderleyen/status/1905575753527238787">wrote</a> on X: “Heartbreaking scenes from Myanmar and Thailand after the devastating earthquake. My thoughts are with the victims &amp; their families. Europe’s Copernicus satellites are already helping first responders. We are ready to provide more support. We stand with you in full solidarity.”</p>
<p>Chinese media reported that the earthquake was felt in Yunnan and Sichuan provinces.</p>
<p>Burma’s second biggest city, Mandalay, was close to the epicenter, and a local resident, Htet Naing Oo, said several people had been trapped inside a tea shop which had collapsed.</p>
<p>She said, <strong>“We couldn’t go in. The situation is very bad.”</strong></p>

<p>Photographs and videos posted on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=122186208446123962&amp;set=pcb.122186208530123962">Facebook</a> showed widespread damage in Mandalay.</p>
<p>Most houses in Mandalay are low-rise structures.</p>
<p>A 90-year-old bridge in the Sagaing region, southwest of Mandalay, collapsed, and the highway connecting Mandalay with Burma’s largest city, Yangon, was also damaged.</p>
<p>In the capital, Naypyidaw, Buddhist shrines were toppled and some homes damaged.</p>
<p>The tremor, which took place around midday on Friday, was followed by an aftershock with a magnitude of 6.4, <a href="https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000pn9z/executive?utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;utm_medium=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=usgs_quakes">according</a> to the U.S. Geological Survey.</p>
<p>The greater Bangkok area is home to around 17 million people, many living in high-rise apartments.</p>
<p>Many people have been evacuated from office and residential buildings, pending the all-clear.</p>

<h2>‘A Lot of Panic’</h2>
<p>Fraser Morton, a British tourist who was in downtown Bangkok shopping for camera equipment, said, “All of a sudden the whole building began to move, immediately there was screaming and a lot of panic.”</p>
<p>“I just started walking calmly at first but then the building started really moving, yeah, a lot of screaming, a lot of panic, people running the wrong way down the escalators, lots of banging and crashing inside the mall,” he added.</p>
<p>Morton said, “I got outside and then looked up at the building and the whole building was moving, dust and debris, it was pretty intense. Lots of chaos.”</p>
<p>Water from infinity pools in several high-rise hotels can be seen in videos pouring down the sides of the buildings as they shook.</p>

<p>Thailand’s Department of Disaster Prevention said the tremor was felt in almost every region of the country.</p>

<p>Il recente <a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/politics/2025/03/21/how-conor-mcgregor-secured-his-meeting-with-donald-trump-in-the-oval-office/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">incontro tra Conor McGregor, l’atleta di arti marziali miste, e il presidente Trump</a> nello Studio Ovale in occasione della festa di San Patrizio ha riportato l’Irlanda e il suo ruolo nel mondo militare sotto i riflettori per una serie di motivi. L’incontro tra Trump e la celebrità sportiva più nota (e probabilmente più odiata) d’Irlanda ha relegato il primo ministro irlandese adulatore Micheál Martin e Simon Harris, il nostro inquietante ministro degli Esteri, ai posti di secondo piano, che è dove quei fannulloni dovrebbero stare.</p>
<p>Trump e il suo team non solo hanno sparato colpi sopra i loro archi irlandesi dando il posto d’onore a McGregor, ma hanno lasciato Martin, la cui intera famiglia era composta da mercenari al soldo dell’esercito britannico, senza alcun dubbio sul pericoloso stato delle relazioni economiche tra Irlanda e Stati Uniti, che McGregor definisce il fratello maggiore dell’Irlanda. La squadra di Trump è determinata a ridurre <a href="https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/us-trade-deficit-by-country" target="_blank" rel="noopener">l’enorme deficit di 80,5 miliardi di dollari </a>che gli Stati Uniti hanno con l’Irlanda, riportando negli Stati Uniti le aziende farmaceutiche e Big Tech americane responsabili di tale deficit. Che ciò distrugga l’economia irlandese non è un problema di Trump.</p>
<p>E non sarà nemmeno un problema di Martin, che spera di aver ottenuto un numero ancora più cospicuo a Bruxelles quando calerà il sipario sulla nostra falsa economia. Per quanto riguarda gli irlandesi comuni che McGregor pretende di rappresentare, che ne sarà di loro? Non hanno mai avuto importanza, almeno negli ultimi decenni.</p>
<p>La menzogna del panorama politico attuale è che i nuovi rampolli dell’Irlanda, nullità come Harris e Martin, vedono il loro futuro come servitori leali di Bruxelles, piuttosto che, come negli anni passati, come fedeli pistoleri della Corona, o del fratellone americano di McGregor al di là dell’oceano. Bruxelles paga meglio e, dato che Kallas e soci non vogliono altro che un’assoluta obbedienza, sono il sogno di un cagnolino che diventa realtà.</p>
<p>Parte di questo rispetto della politica del bastone e della carota comporta l’abbandono della politica di rigorosa neutralità, da lungo tempo perseguita e amata dall’Irlanda, l’acquisto di una mezza dozzina di jet da combattimento e l’unirsi all’Estonia, alla piccola Lettonia e al rabbioso chihuahua della Lituania nel fare le feste alla Russia e, più tardi, alla Cina e probabilmente alla Corea del Nord e all’Iran per buona misura. Über alles in der welt e tutto il resto.</p>
<p>Anche se l’aviazione, i marines e la marina irlandesi non farebbero assolutamente alcuna differenza nell’esito di una rissa con la Russia o con un peso massimo simile, non è questo lo scopo di armare la <a href="https://strategic-culture.su/news/2025/02/19/trump-must-put-manners-on-leprechaun-land-this-st-patrick-day/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leprechaun Land</a>. Il suo scopo è costruire una <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition_of_the_willing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coalizione di Volontari</a>, proprio come ha fatto il presidente <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_invasion_of_Grenada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reagan contro Grenada</a>, e come hanno fatto vari altri presidenti yankee in Iraq e altrove. L’Irlanda, in breve, deve abbandonare la sua neutralità e paracadutare truppe a Kursk se è questo che esigono pazzi furiosi come Kaja Kallas e Ursula von der Leyen.</p>
<p>Non che tutti i paracadutisti saranno irlandesi. Von der Leyen, Martin, Harris e compagnia stanno attualmente inondando l’Europa di migranti maschi privi di documenti in età militare e molti di loro non si lasceranno sfuggire l’occasione di diventare paracadutisti e, quando il <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ack_Ack">fuoco di risposta</a> russo o cinese avrà la meglio su di loro, pochi ricorderanno o piangeranno la loro morte. Certo, personaggi come von der Leyen, Kallas (che Dio li aiuti), Martin o il burattino Harris faranno elogi di circostanza sul costo in vite umane della costruzione di un’Europa nuova e umana sulle loro tombe, ma, spogliati della loro lucentezza, quei lemming saranno solo un’altra generazione di mercenari disprezzati e dimenticati che spariscono nel nulla. Per non dimenticare e tutto il resto.</p>
<p>Sarebbe molto meglio, molto più nobile e molto più intelligente stare dalla parte in cui l’Irlanda è stata negli ultimi 100 anni. Ovvero dalla parte della rigorosa neutralità, dove politici irlandesi di spicco come <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89amon_de_Valera" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Éamon de Valera</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Aiken" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frank Aiken</a> e <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Se%C3%A1n_MacBride" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seán MacBride</a> hanno davvero fatto la differenza e sono stati di conseguenza ammirati, onorati e seguiti a livello internazionale.</p>
<p>Quale irlandese sano di mente e di corpo vuole essere paracadutato a Kursk perché von der Leyen e Kallas lo vogliono? E, del resto, quale inglese vuole ricevere una baionata russa nelle budella solo perché Sir Keir Starmer vuole fare soldi facili con la sua pelle? La risposta a queste domande retoriche è, ovviamente, nessuno, ma poiché c’è un flusso infinito di propaganda che ci esorta a cedere le nostre facoltà mentali al complesso di Napoleone di Kallas, tutti questi piccoli Hitler e aspiranti Napoleone recluteranno facilmente la loro prossima generazione di mercenari quando sarà il momento. Basta guardare quanti stranieri, alcuni dei quali stanno scontando pesanti pene detentive in Russia, si sono uniti alle fila di Zelensky per capire che i sergenti reclutatori non sono destinati a fallire a breve.</p>
<p>Non è colpa dell’<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_and_Neutrality_Alliance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alleanza per la Pace e la Neutralità</a> irlandese, il cui <a href="https://www.pana.ie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eccellente sito web dovrebbe essere il primo punto di riferimento</a> per chi vuole approfondire le questioni relative alla neutralità irlandese. E, anche se non spetta a me dir loro come fare, dirò che il loro inglese e le loro argomentazioni sono chiare come il sole, che non offuscano ma espongono con cura il loro tavolo, chiaro e semplice.</p>
<p>Questo, per quel che vale, è l’approccio diametralmente opposto a quello di Harris, Martin e del resto della classe compromessa europea. Poiché non hanno argomenti, devono o mettere a tacere i loro avversari, come nel caso della PANA, o diffamarli, come nel caso di McGregor che, come ha chiarito lasciando la Casa Bianca, è un self made man che dà lavoro a centinaia di persone in Irlanda.</p>
<p>Che McGregor possa essere un individuo molto imperfetto con <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conor_McGregor#Early_life">poca istruzione formale</a> o che i membri esecutivi della PANA non siano più giovanissimi non è il problema. Il problema è che Harris, Martin, von der Leyen, Kallas e simili furbetti aumenteranno la spesa militare dell’Irlanda, renderanno l’Irlanda un vassallo militare di Bruxelles e distruggeranno la buona volontà di cui l’Irlanda gode a livello internazionale, solo perché alcuni finti generali irlandesi possano ottenere posti di lavoro d’ufficio a Bruxelles e Harris, Martin e gli altri possano essere ricompensati, come i bravi cagnolini che sono, per il loro tradimento.</p>
<p>Che si parli dell’Irlanda, dell’Inghilterra o <a href="https://swentr.site/news/614597-netherlands-triple-army-size/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dei Paesi Bassi</a>, il gioco è sempre lo stesso. Si conquista la terra di mezzo e si ignorano gli emarginati finché non serve carne da cannone. Il problema non è la Russia, la Corea del Nord, l’Iran o la lontana Cina. Il problema è, come è sempre stato, chi è sul fronte interno, disposto a vedere morire milioni di persone pur di fare un po’ di soldi; <a href="https://www.google.ie/search?q=J+edgar+hoovermafia+rig+race&amp;sca_esv=f7eed69fd92caa42&amp;sxsrf=AHTn8zrMQYXpv5RTERelELu2lfspZUFU-Q:1742726854360&amp;source=hp&amp;ei=xubfZ7KsE7yqhbIP9e73qA4&amp;iflsig=ACkRmUkAAAAAZ9_01hN54N5lSeZr7ADyFX3FxvgGMGRU&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiyp964g6CMAxU8VUEAHXX3HeUQ4dUDCBo&amp;uact=5&amp;oq=J+edgar+hoovermafia+rig+race&amp;gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxKIGVkZ2FyIGhvb3Zlcm1hZmlhIHJpZyByYWNlMgcQIRigARgKMgcQIRigARgKSLlUUP0JWI1TcAF4AJABAJgBbKABwA6qAQQyNy4xuAEDyAEA-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_5f6RuHPaSBwQyOC4xoAe0nwKyBwQyNy4xuAf9Dw&amp;sclient=gws-wiz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pensate al travestito J.

<p><strong>The Ukrainian leader reportedly asked Massimo D’Alema to seek help from China and Brazil to prevent Kiev’s collapse</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>Former Italian Prime Minister Massimo D’Alema has claimed that he undertook a secret diplomatic mission to Brazil and China on behalf of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky to garner international support, amid fears that Kiev would be abandoned by its Western backers.</p>
<p>The revelation was made during a conversation with Italian politician Gianfranco Fini published by La Repubblica on Thursday. According to D’Alema, Zelensky approached him sometime in 2024, expressing fears of a potential catastrophe as Western support waned.</p>
<p><em>“I happened to speak with Zelensky on the sidelines of an initiative on the Balkans. And he told me clearly that his country was at risk of disaster because ‘the Americans will withdraw sooner or later, and the Europeans are not reliable,’”</em> the former prime minister told Fini.</p>
<p><em>“He asked me to go to Brazil and Beijing to find out if Lula and Xi Jinping could do something,”</em> D’Alema claimed. Neither Brazil nor China has publicly confirmed any visits by the former Italian official.</p>

    </blockquote>


    

<p>In Brasilia, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva reportedly dismissed the initiative outright, insisting that Ukraine is an <em>“American problem.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I went there, but Lula almost showed me the door, telling me that Ukraine was a problem for the Americans and that, according to him, I should be interested in Palestine instead,”</em> D’Alema said.</p>
<p>In China, D’Alema reportedly met with one of the Communist Party’s top foreign policy officials, and discussed the idea of an international peacekeeping force for Ukraine. At the end of the meeting, the Chinese official is said to have remarked: <em>“You know, you are the first European who came to talk to us about this. The others are just asking us not to support Russia.”</em></p>
<p>The former prime minister also criticized the EU for fueling what he described as unrealistic expectations about the conflict. <em>“Europe has done nothing but repeat that Russia could be defeated, when it was clear to everyone that the war could not be won by anyone,”</em> he said.</p>

<p><strong>A new 23-member cabinet has been formed four months after the ouster of former President Bashar Assad</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa has announced the formation of a new 23-member transitional government in a bid to unify the war-torn country following the ouster of former President Bashar Assad. The cabinet includes representatives from various ethnic and religious backgrounds.</p>
<p>In a speech on Saturday, al-Sharaa, the leader of the jihadist group Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS), which played the key role in Assad’s downfall, described the new government as one of <em>“change and construction”</em> that bears <em>“the people’s aspirations and hopes for a bright and sustainable future.”</em> <br><em></em></p>
<p><em>“We are certain that hard work, dedication, and cooperation among all citizens will be the key to achieving these goals,”</em> he added.</p>
<p>The new cabinet features notable appointments such as Hind Kabawat, the only woman in the government and a Christian advocate for interfaith tolerance and female empowerment, who will serve as minister of social affairs and labor. It also includes Yarub Badr, an Alawite who will lead the Transportation Ministry, and Amgad Badr, a member of the Druze community, who will head the Agriculture Ministry.</p>

<p>The Alawites and Druze are minority religious groups that are offshoots of Islam, making up 12% and 3% of Syria’s population, respectively. Alawites were generally in favor of Assad’s rule, while the Druze have tended to be neutral throughout the internal strife in the country.</p>
<p>Raed al-Saleh, formerly associated with the White Helmets – an NGO accused of staging multiple false flag chemical weapons attacks – has been appointed as the head of the newly established Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management. Al-Sharaa also announced the creation of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.<br>Murhaf Abu Qasra and Asaad al-Shaibani, already serving as ministers of defense and foreign affairs, will retain their positions.</p>
<p>The new government will not have a prime minister, nor include members of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) or the autonomous civil administration in northeastern Syria.</p>
<p>The formation of the transitional government comes after the collapse of the Assad government in December amid a surprise offensive by opposition forces spearheaded by the HTS. The former Syrian leader fled to Russia.</p>
<p>In the aftermath of Assad’s ouster, Syria experienced significant unrest, including an uprising within the Alawite community, leading to violent clashes with government forces and hundreds of deaths. </p>
<p>The situation triggered an international backlash. Russia’s ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, said the Security Council <em>“was united in what we discussed today... everyone emphasized... the inadmissibility of what happened, the mass murders, and violence.”</em> The US denounced the <em>“radical Islamist terrorists, including foreign jihadis”</em> for massacring members of Syrian minority groups, while the EU blamed the situation on <em>“pro-Assad elements”</em> attacking <em>“interim government forces.”</em></p>

<p>While global attention remains fixed on <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/longform/2023/10/9/israel-hamas-war-in-maps-and-charts-live-tracker">Israel’s war on Gaza</a>, Israel is rapidly redrawing the map of the occupied West Bank.</p>
<p>On January 21, just two days after a ceasefire took effect in Gaza, the Israeli military intensified its assault across the occupied West Bank, particularly in the northern regions. Israeli bulldozers have razed entire residential areas, forcibly expelling at least 40,000 people from their homes.</p>

<p>For the first time since the second Intifada, Israeli forces have reintroduced tank incursions and air attacks into the West Bank, part of a systematic Israeli strategy to change the geography of the West Bank, paving the way for full annexation.</p>
<p>This report, produced by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking agency, SANAD, draws on United Nations data, satellite imagery, and maps to reveal how this is happening.</p>
<h2 data-sanitized-id="the-occupied-west-bank-at-a-glance">The occupied West Bank at a glance</h2>
<p>The West Bank, called al-Daffah in Arabic, is <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/16/ten-maps-to-understand-the-occupied-west-bank">west of the Jordan River</a>, from which it gets its name.</p>
<p>Together with occupied East Jerusalem, it covers an area of 5,655sq km (2,183sq miles), making it about 15 times larger than Gaza or roughly the same size as the US state of Delaware.</p>

<p>Since 1967, Israel has <a href="https://interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2024/israel-occupation-illustrated-guide/">militarily occupied the West Bank</a>, subjecting Palestinians to <a href="https://interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2018/commuting-through-israeli-checkpoints/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">checkpoints</a>, arbitrary <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/17/palestinian-prisoners-day-how-many-palestinians-are-in-israeli-jails" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrests</a>, home <a href="https://interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2017/jerusalem-2016-home-demolitions/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demolitions</a>, land <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/11/how-israel-keeps-stealing-palestinian-land" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seizures</a>, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/6/who-are-israeli-settlers-and-why-do-they-live-on-palestinian-lands" target="_blank" rel="noopener">settlement</a> expansion and frequent <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/3/timeline-israels-deadly-seven-day-raid-in-occupied-west-banks-jenin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raids</a>, severely restricting every aspect of their lives.</p>
<p>The West Bank is home to approximately 3.3 million Palestinians. It is divided into 11 governorates, with Hebron, or al-Khalil in Arabic, being the most populous at about 842,000 residents. Jerusalem follows with 500,000, Nablus with 440,000, Ramallah and el-Bireh with 377,000 and Jenin with 360,000.</p>
<p>About 700,000 Israelis live in illegal settlements on Palestinian land.</p>

<p>Deadly attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have persisted for years.</p>
<p>Since systematic documentation began in 2008, UN data shows that at least 1,896 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers.</p>
<p>By October 6, 2023 – just hours before the Al-Aqsa Flood operation – the death toll for 2023 had already risen to 198, surpassing 2022’s total of 154 and making it the deadliest year on record at the time.</p>
<p>Since October 7, 2023, the number of attacks has skyrocketed.</p>
<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3608166" data-sanitized-id="attachment_3608166" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" src="https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/INTERACTIVE-Palestinians-killed-across-the-West-Bank-1743158495.png?w=770&amp;resize=770%2C962" alt="INTERACTIVE - Palestinians killed across the West Bank-1743158495" data-sanitized-class="size-arc-image-770 wp-image-3608166"><figcaption data-sanitized-id="caption-attachment-3608166" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption-text">(Al Jazeera)</figcaption></figure><p>Over the past 17 months, more than 900 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank. More than half of them were from Jenin and Tulkarem.</p>
<p>Amnesty International <a href="https://www.amnesty.ie/israel-palestine-occupation-force/">described</a> this violence as “brutal”, citing unlawful killings, the disproportionate use of deadly force, and the deliberate denial of medical care to the wounded – all unfolding as global attention remains fixated on Gaza.</p>
<h2 data-sanitized-id="why-is-the-northern-west-bank-being-targeted">Why is the northern West Bank being targeted?</h2>
<p>Israel’s continuing military incursion, which it calls “Operation Iron Wall”, has primarily targeted the northern governorates of Jenin and Tulkarem.</p>
<div data-sanitized-class="container--ads in-article-ads">
<p><span data-sanitized-class="ads__title">Advertisement</span></p>
</div>
<p>These governorates have fewer Israeli settlements than the rest of the West Bank and have long been centres of Palestinian resistance, a factor that has historically hindered their annexation. In response, Israel has carried out systematic raids and large-scale demolitions in these regions, aiming to suppress resistance and establish full control – part of a broader strategy to tighten its hold on the entire West Bank.</p>
<p>The refugee camps in particular have been heavily targeted. Since October 2023, the Tulkarem refugee camp, the second-largest in the West Bank, witnessed the destruction of 205 structures, including homes, commercial buildings, and agricultural infrastructure, followed by 174 structures in Nur Shams camp and 144 in Jenin camp. The peak in Jenin occurred in August 2024, when 37 structures were demolished in a single month.</p>
<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3608161" data-sanitized-id="attachment_3608161" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" src="https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/INTERACTIVE-Occupied-West-Bank-settlement-expansion-1743158479.png?w=770&amp;resize=770%2C962" alt="INTERACTIVE - Occupied West Bank - settlement expansion-1743158479" data-sanitized-class="size-arc-image-770 wp-image-3608161"><figcaption data-sanitized-id="caption-attachment-3608161" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption-text">(Al Jazeera)</figcaption></figure><p>According to Peace Now, an Israeli nongovernmental organisation (NGO), in 2024 a record-breaking 48 new settlement outposts were established in the West Bank.</p>
<p>Even before the war, settlement expansion was accelerating. In 2023, 31 new outposts were set up, with 21 appearing in just six months between February and July – well before October 7.</p>
<h2 data-sanitized-id="settler-violence-an-informal-weapon-of-displacement">Settler violence: An informal weapon of displacement</h2>
<p>Settler attacks have become a daily occurrence in the West Bank, especially in rural areas near settlement outposts. Settlers have blocked roads to Palestinian communities, hindering access to essential services and livelihoods. In some instances, they have destroyed water sources, cutting off vital resources for Palestinian herding communities.</p>
<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3458229" data-sanitized-id="attachment_3458229" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" src="https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/INTERACTIVE-Israeli-settler-violence-in-the-West-Bank-1737532794.png?w=770&amp;resize=770%2C962" alt="INTERACTIVE - Israeli settler violence in the West Bank-1737532794" data-sanitized-class="size-arc-image-770 wp-image-3458229"><figcaption data-sanitized-id="caption-attachment-3458229" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption-text">(Al Jazeera)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Testimonies from the southern West Bank village of Khirbet Zanuta describe homes and water sources being destroyed, forcing residents to flee. In Nablus, eight families (51 people) were forcibly displaced at gunpoint.</p>

<p>A report by the Israeli human rights organisation Yesh Din, which analysed 1,664 police investigations into settler violence against Palestinians between 2005 and September 2023, found that:</p>
<ul><li>94 percent of cases were closed without indictment.</li>
<li>Only 3 percent led to convictions.</li>
<li>In at least 80 percent of cases, investigations were closed due to an alleged inability to identify suspects or gather sufficient evidence.</li>
</ul><p>The study highlighted a deep mistrust of Israeli law enforcement among Palestinians, with 58 percent of Palestinian victims in 2023 choosing not to report crimes to the police. B’Tselem, another Israeli human rights group, has described settler violence as “Israel’s unofficial tool” for expelling Palestinians, with the lack of accountability contributing to a culture of impunity.</p>
<h2 data-sanitized-id="illegal-seizure-of-palestinian-land">Illegal seizure of Palestinian land</h2>
<p>A June 2024 report by HaMoked, an Israeli human rights organisation, showed that Israel has rapidly intensified its control over the West Bank since October 2023, moving towards full annexation.</p>
<p>This effort is led by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who was recently given a newly created minister position in the Ministry of Defence, granting him extensive powers over civilian affairs in the West Bank.</p>
<p>Smotrich, a settler who lives on Palestinian land outside the illegal settlement of Kedumin, also heads the Settlement Administration, a division within the Israeli Ministry of Defense, responsible for overseeing the establishment and expansion of Israeli settlements.</p>
<div data-sanitized-class="container--ads in-article-ads">

<p>In 2024, 24,700 dunams (6,100 acres or 2,470 hectares) were classified as “state land” by Israeli authorities, surpassing the 23,000 dunams annexed between 2000 and 2023. Additionally, 68 illegal settlement outposts were recognised by Israel and provided with infrastructure, deepening Israeli control.</p>
<p>Smotrich’s transfer of planning and demolition powers has accelerated the forced displacement of Palestinians. His administration works with settlers to seize land, demolish Palestinian homes, and recognise illegal outposts, further entrenching settlement control.</p>

<p>An analysis of satellite images from March 12 over Tulkarem and Jenin reveals widespread destruction and bulldozing by the Israeli military:</p>
<ul><li>12.5km (7.8 miles) of roads were destroyed in Tulkarem and Nur Shams camp.</li>
<li>17.5km (10.9 miles) of road networks were demolished in Jenin camp.</li>
<li>Extensive damage to buildings across all three camps.</li>
</ul><p>Since October 7, 2023, the bulldozing of at least 523 buildings, which housed numerous families, has forced nearly 3,000 people from their homes, including:</p>
<ul><li>Tulkarem camp: 1,070 people displaced after 205 buildings were demolished.</li>
<li>Nur Shams camp: 965 people displaced following the destruction of 174 structures.</li>

<p>These figures point to a strategy of dismantling Palestinian communities, as their presence in the West Bank poses a demographic challenge to Israel.</p>
<p>New images and reports highlight the scale of devastation in Jenin, Tulkarem and Nur Shams – entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble, thousands forced to flee and the fabric of Palestinian society under systematic assault.</p>
<p>A unique pattern was identified in Jenin, which was not observed in Tulkarem and its camp. The Israeli military has constructed 14 earthen barriers surrounding the camp, with military vehicles positioned near some of these barriers.</p>

<h2 data-sanitized-id="open-calls-for-annexation-and-displacement">Open calls for annexation and displacement</h2>
<p>Despite rapid settlement expansion, Israel faces a key demographic challenge, as the birthrate among the Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Israel remains higher than among Israelis living in Israel and the occupied West Bank, although population numbers are roughly equal now.</p>

<p><span data-sanitized-class="ads__title">Advertisement</span></p>
</div>
<p>This strategy is evident in statements by Israeli officials. In March 2025, Defense Minister Israel Yoav Katz <a href="https://www.inn.co.il/news/662782" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defended</a> illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank as “essential for protecting Israeli cities”, while media figures like Gideon Dokov <a href="https://www.makorrishon.co.il/opinion/814795/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> the forced removal of Palestinians from all of Palestine “the only humanitarian solution”, labelling Palestinians as “a murderous nation”.</p>
<p>The “Fighting for Life” <a href="https://www.i24news.tv/he/news/news/defense-news/artc-9d5938b6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">campaign</a> echoed this message with the slogan “No Future in Palestine”, encouraging what they euphemistically called “voluntary emigration”.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Meir Masri, professor of geopolitics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, <a href="https://x.com/MeirMasri/status/1889425228343943324" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on social media platform X that the annexation of the West Bank is “the greatest Zionist achievement since 1967”, calling it a historic opportunity that must not be missed.</p>
<p>In contrast, a policy <a href="https://www.inss.org.il/publication/policy-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paper</a> for 2025–2026, published by the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) warned that unilateral annexation would deepen Israel’s global isolation, push it towards a one-state reality where Jews risk becoming a minority, and contradict core Zionist ideology.</p>

</div><div aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" readability="91.732817037754">
<p>Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has announced a transitional government, appointing 23 ministers in a new broadened and diverse cabinet.</p>
<p>The cabinet announced on Saturday included Yarub Badr, an Alawite who was named transport minister, while Amgad Badr, who belongs to the Druze community, will lead the agriculture ministry.</p>

<p>“The formation of a new government today is a declaration of our joint will to build a new state,” al-Sharaa said in a speech marking the formation of the government.</p>
<p>The government will not have a prime minister, with al-Sharaa expected to lead the executive branch.</p>

<p>“People had criticised the president that he had previously appointed all of his close friends to all of the ministerial positions [in the caretaker cabinet],” he added.</p>
<p>Syria’s new rulers have been under pressure from the West and Arab countries to form a government that is more inclusive of the country’s diverse ethnic and religious communities.</p>
<p>That pressure increased following the <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/10/syrias-al-sharaa-vows-to-punish-forces-responsible-for-mass-killings">killings of hundreds</a> of Alawite civilians – the minority sect from which ousted ex-President Bashar al-Assad hails – in violence along Syria’s western coast this month.</p>

</div>
<p>Veteran opposition figure Hind Kabawat, a member of Syria’s Christian minority and longtime al-Assad opponent, was named social affairs and labour minister, the first woman to be appointed by al-Sharaa.</p>
<p>Mohammed Yosr Bernieh was named the finance minister, while Murhaf Abu Qasra and Asaad al-Shibani, who were serving as defence and foreign ministers respectively in the previous caretaker cabinet, were also retained.</p>
<p>The caretaker cabinet under al-Sharaa has governed Syria since <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/4/14/syrias-war-explained-from-the-beginning">al-Assad was toppled</a> in December by a lightning rebel offensive. In January, al-Sharaa was named interim president, and he pledged to form an inclusive transitional government that would build up Syria’s gutted public institutions and run the country until elections, which he said could take up to five years to hold.</p>
<p>Al-Sharaa said he has established, for the first time, a ministry for emergency situations and disasters, with the leader of the White Helmets, the Syrian rescuers who worked in rebel-held areas, Raed al-Saleh, appointed to lead it.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Syria issued a <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/13/syrias-al-sharaa-signs-five-year-temporary-constitution">constitutional declaration</a>, designed to serve as the foundation for the interim period led by al-Sharaa.</p>

<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Pour le moment, les bienfaits de la nourriture crue demeurent donc anecdotiques.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Cette réticence à la nourriture crue est aussi partagée par l’Ordre des médecins vétérinaire du Québec, qui considère que <q><span lang="fr" title="Français" xml:lang="fr">les bienfaits mis de l’avant par certains s’inclinent devant les risques réels sur la santé publique et la santé des animaux de compagnie.</span></q></p>

<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Car une autre tendance observée est la nourriture fraîche, dont l’apparence rivalise avec un repas pour humain.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Bien qu’elle puisse présenter de belles qualités, la nourriture fraîche est très chère et souvent incomplète. La diète du chien doit donc être complétée avec divers suppléments, ce qui fait rapidement grimper la facture.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Par exemple, les produits de la marque Fresh Pet, que l’on trouve en épicerie, vous coûteront entre 90 $ et 400 $ par mois, selon la taille de votre chien.</p>

<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">C’est pour ces raisons que les croquettes sèches demeurent une manière simple et efficace de nourrir son chien. La grande majorité des produits que l’on trouve en épicerie, en magasins de grande surface, chez le vétérinaire ou encore dans les magasins spécialisés incluent la mention réglementée <q><span lang="fr" title="Français" xml:lang="fr">complet et équilibré</span></q>.</p>

<h2 data-sanitized-class="sc-dYoqmx fTztrE !font-display text-5 leading-5 font-bold">Quelles croquettes choisir?</h2>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">En 2024, le magazine de consommation <em>Protégez-vous</em> a testé 353 sacs de nourriture sèche pour chiens adultes en bonne santé. Pour déterminer les produits à recommander, l’équipe de <em>Protégez-vous</em> a considéré la qualité des ingrédients, les informations inscrites dans l’analyse garantie (l’équivalent du tableau de la valeur nutritionnelle) et la quantité de gras, de fibres et de protéines des croquettes.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><q><span lang="fr" title="Français" xml:lang="fr">Plus le chien est petit, plus il a besoin de protéines pour son métabolisme. On doit viser entre 23 % et 25 % selon la taille du chien</span></q>, explique Capucine Cloutier, chargée des tests pour <em>Protégez-vous</em>.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Bonne nouvelle : il est encore possible de nourrir son chien sans se ruiner. Par exemple, dans le palmarès établi par le magazine, la nourriture en sac de la marque Acana qui a obtenu la note de 86 % coûte 1216 $ par année, et une autre de la marque Kirkland qui a obtenu une meilleure note, soit 88 %, revient à 314 $ par année.</p>

<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">En Corée du Sud, confier un enfant à l'adoption ou « vendre un frigo LG, une télé Samsung ou une voiture Kia, c’était la même chose », raconte Kimura Byol Lemoine. Comme des dizaines de milliers d’autres bambins, elle s'est fait envoyer en adoption en Occident avec des documents falsifiés, parfois même sans le consentement de leurs parents biologiques.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><q><span lang="fr" title="Français" xml:lang="fr">Pendant près de 50 ans après la guerre de Corée, le gouvernement [sud-coréen] a donné la priorité à l'adoption internationale en tant que solution alternative à faible coût au renforcement des politiques nationales en matière de protection de l'enfance</span></q>, a conclu cette semaine la Commission de vérité et réconciliation sud-coréenne après près de trois ans d’enquête.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Entre 1955 et 1999, des enfants ont été massivement envoyés en adoption par des agences privées qui, pour répondre à la demande de clients étrangers, falsifiaient leurs renseignements personnels et leur identité.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><q><span lang="fr" title="Français" xml:lang="fr">Si un enfant en cours d'adoption décédait ou était réclamé par sa famille biologique, les agences lui substituaient l'identité d'un autre enfant pour accélérer l'adoption, violant ainsi gravement les droits des adoptés à leur véritable identité</span></q>, explique le rapport.</p>


<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><q><span lang="fr" title="Français" xml:lang="fr">On a changé mon nom, on a changé ma date d’anniversaire, et ce, avec trois ans d'écart</span></q>, explique Mme Byol Lemoine à l’émission <em>Les</em> <em>faits d’abord.</em> Quand elle a été adoptée en Belgique, en 1969, Mme Byol Lemoine avait deux ans, mais ses papiers indiquaient plutôt qu’elle en avait cinq.</p>

<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Les normes sanitaires aux États-Unis exigent que les œufs soient désinfectés et réfrigérés avant d’arriver sur les tablettes des supermarchés. En Europe, les normes exigent que les œufs soient vendus à l’air libre sans avoir été lavés.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Le marché américain commence toutefois à montrer certains signes d'amélioration : les prix des œufs commencent à diminuer, selon l'aperçu hebdomadaire des marchés de l'œuf du département américain de l’Agriculture.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">En supposant qu'il n'y ait pas de nouvelles éclosions de grippe aviaire aux États-Unis, les prix de vente aux détaillants devraient baisser et atteindre en moyenne 4,24 dollars américains (6,07 dollars canadiens) par douzaine en 2025, estime le département de l’Agriculture.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Cela dit, si le Canada produisait suffisamment d'œufs et que les États-Unis lui demandaient de l'aide, M. von Massow est convaincu que le Canada viendrait en aide à son voisin malgré le contexte politique tendu entre les deux pays.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Le Canada ne semble pas vouloir nuire à ses propres exportations et continue d'expédier d'autres produits aux États-Unis, a-t-il ajouté.</p>

<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Marie-Noëlle Closson Duquette</strong> <strong>:</strong> J’ai été conseillère municipale il y a 20 ans, donc j’y avais touché quand j’étais plus jeune. Ensuite, je me suis beaucoup impliquée dans le milieu communautaire et avec la chambre de commerce [de Sainte-Thérèse-de-Blainville] au cours les 10 dernières années.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Donc cette vie d’engagement était une continuité, une espèce de consécration de cette implication-là. Je crois que c'est peut-être la meilleure façon de contribuer au bien commun.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Niall Ricardo</strong> <strong>:</strong> Jeune, j’ai vécu des difficultés. Ma mère était monoparentale, j’ai connu les banques alimentaires avec mon petit frère. J’ai vécu des périodes très difficiles. En tant qu’enfant, je me suis dit que si, un jour, j’étais en position d’agir, je m’impliquerais et me battrais pour que des enfants n’aient pas à subir ça.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Ce qui m’a permis d’être ici aujourd’hui, c’est le filet social au Québec et au Canada, un filet social qui s’effrite. C’est pour ça que j’ai décidé de me porter candidat.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Nathalie Provost</strong> <strong>:</strong> Les 15 dernières années de ma vie ont été consacrées à une cause [NDLR : le contrôle des armes à feu] pour laquelle j’ai travaillé de près avec les instances du gouvernement fédéral.</p>

<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Niall Ricardo</strong> <strong>:</strong> Je pense qu'il y a un cynisme au niveau de la politique parce qu'on n'a pas assez de personnes comme Mme Provost, nécessairement, comme députés.</p>

<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">C'est aussi pour ça que je me suis impliqué en politique, pour montrer aux gens que l’on peut avoir une voix juive qui n'est pas d'accord avec ce qui se passe à Gaza en ce moment et qui veut arrêter le génocide.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Marie-Noëlle Closson Duquette</strong> <strong>:</strong> Quand je repense à mon expérience sur le terrain, je ne sens pas de cynisme. Je pense aussi que ça dépend de la manière dont on aborde les gens.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Si on les aborde avec authenticité, qu'ils sentent notre réelle motivation, que c'est authentique, puis qu'on ne sort pas la cassette, je pense que ça, ça peut être un médicament contre le cynisme.</p>

<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Nathalie Provost</strong> <strong>:</strong> Non. Je me suis associée au Parti libéral pour les valeurs libérales et c'est essentiellement là-dessus que je définis ma posture. Je n’ai pas de discours scripté. Je suis ici parce que je crois en des valeurs et en l'équipe que l’on représente.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Kostantinos Merakos</strong> <strong>:</strong> Non, pas de cassette. C'est une des raisons pour lesquelles, quand j'ai fait mon choix avant que j'embarque en politique, je regardais qui était le chef. Pour moi, il fallait quelqu’un avec une certaine ouverture, un certain respect envers nos droits constitutionnels, envers un pouvoir économique aussi pour le Canada. Ce qui était important, c'était essentiellement d'avoir quelqu'un qui m'ouvre les portes pour faire le bien dans ma communauté.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Je vais être honnête avec vous aujourd'hui : je faisais partie du Parti libéral avant, et je trouve que le Parti libéral m'a laissé en arrière. Je ne me reflète plus dans ce parti, mais la bonne chose, c'est qu'on vit dans une démocratie.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">En politique, ce n'est pas quelque chose de défini, ce n'est pas une religion, ce n'est pas être pour une équipe de hockey. Si cela ne reflète pas tes valeurs, tu as le droit de changer, puis c'est correct.</p>

Oui, je peux être dans l'opposition et me retrouver à être une opposante féroce et à ne pas avoir envie de créer des relations. Mais globalement, mon premier souhait, moi, c'est d'être députée. Et mes voisins qui seront députés avec moi – j'espère bien être élue –, ils représenteront pas nécessairement tous mes valeurs. Mais pour faire avancer notre communauté, il faut aussi qu'on soit capables de travailler ensemble, et au moins pour les citoyens de ma circonscription, pour faire avancer les dossiers régionaux, c'est nécessaire qu'on y arrive. Et moi, ça, c'est une valeur que je porte.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Marie-Noëlle Closson Duquette</strong> <strong>:</strong> J'ajouterais aussi que le ton peut changer les choses aussi, le ton avec lequel on fait les démarches, les discussions, les négociations.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Niall Ricardo</strong> <strong>:</strong> Je pense qu'on est dans un moment où on est très polarisés, notamment à cause des médias sociaux, et le fait d'aller en porte-à-porte brise un peu ces silos-là.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Kostantinos Merakos</strong> <strong>:</strong> Pour moi, la « question de l’urne » va être : « Durant les 10 dernières années, votre situation, que ça soit économique, politique ou social, est-ce qu'elle a avancé? » C'est pour ça que je suis là, pour le changement.</p>

<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Q. Est-ce que ça fait peur aussi de se lancer dans une aventure comme ça?</strong></p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Niall Ricardo</strong> <strong>:</strong> Je pense que ce qui fait peur là-dedans, c'est la responsabilité. Il y a beaucoup de responsabilités, on défend des valeurs, un engagement.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Marie-Noëlle Closson Duquette</strong> <strong>:</strong> J’ai 49 ans, j'aurais peut-être eu plus peur à 30 ans. Puis l'autre chose, moi j'ai fait de la politique municipale, puis la politique municipale, je crois, ça peut-être plus difficile.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">C'est un gouvernement de proximité, alors les gens se permettent beaucoup de choses qu'ils ne se permettent pas nécessairement avec leurs députés fédéraux. Oui, évidemment, il peut y avoir des débordements, mais je pense que la charge n'est pas la même.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Nathalie Provost</strong> <strong>:</strong> Ce qui m'effraie le plus, c'est ce que l’on ne voit pas. Quand j'observe juste mes enfants, leurs sources d'information, leur lecture du monde est différente et vient d'un univers sur lequel on a beaucoup moins de prise.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk">Je serre les poings. Je me dis qu'on va être une équipe, puis qu'on va y arriver. Parce que si les citoyens comme nous ne s'engagent pas, qui va le faire? C'est nous qui faisons la différence.</p>
<p data-sanitized-class="sc-iNIeMn cOQdtk"><strong>Kostantinos Merakos</strong> <strong>:</strong> Je suis d'accord avec vous : la conversation, que ça soit maintenant, entre nous ou en porte-à-porte, ça change le monde et c'est extrêmement important pour une démocratie.</p>

<p>Most supermarket vegetables in Ottawa travel thousands of kilometres before reaching store shelves. Lufa’s greens follow a shorter supply chain.</p>
<p>“If you buy zucchinis today from Mexico, they’re probably 12 days old. If you buy peppers from Lufa, they will be about six hours old when you get them,” said Lionel Trombert, Lufa Farms’ Vice President of Finance. He said the company’s controlled environment allows for year-round production and stable pricing, whereas traditional farms rely on seasonal harvests.</p>

<h4>Lufa Farms delivery zones in Ottawa</h4>
<p><em>Zoom in using the magnifying glass, drag the map using the hand icon, and click on an area to see the minimum order amount.</em></p>


<h3>Rooftop farm-to-table</h3>
<p>While Lufa’s arrival in Ottawa is limited to distribution, the company is looking for a rooftop to host its next farm. Their model relies on large, flat commercial buildings (often warehouses) with infrastructure capable of supporting hydroponic greenhouses.</p>
<p>“We need a lot of conditions to go in,” said Trombert, citing the size of the roof, electrical access, and road access.</p>
<p>A new Ontario farm would require a roof of around 150,000 square feet with strong load-bearing capacity. “If it’s a new roof to be built, then it’s a bit more efficient because we can develop and maximize the building capacity,” said Trombert.</p>

title: Gaslighting from ESRI ignores fact that Big Tech is importing workforce to suit itself
author: ;Dr Matt Treacy
hash:  sQ@/�,�X��Z$
tags: #Comment Ireland #Featured #Highlights

content:
<div><img src="https://150494900.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/stupid-lazy-shutterstock_97487567.jpg" data-sanitized-class="ff-og-image-inserted"></div><p><span><strong>On Friday morning, RTÉ’s website carried two stories which each in their own way paints a stark picture of where the Irish state, and Irish society, is at. </strong> The first is a report on a case before the Workplace Relations Committee (WRC) and the second is what I think might be best described as a gaslighting report on a gaslighting study published by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI).</span></p>
<p><span>You can hardly have missed the intent of that ESRI report as it has been retailed across the mainstream. The RTÉ story begins with the proclamation that “</span><span>New research from the ESRI has found that foreign-born residents are more likely to be employed, active in the labour market, and better educated compared to the Irish-born population.”</span></p>
<p><span>The ESRI report is their</span> <a href="about:blank"><em><span>Monitoring Report on Integration 2024</span></em></a> <span>which, like the Harry Potter books, is just the latest in a long series of such ideologically driven reports – shortly we might hope to be turned into a Netflix epic starring Toby Jones as an African Gaeilgeoir with a degree in physics who is forced to work cleaning chimneys and is thus unable to spend sufficient time in his €3000 a month Dickensian hovel surrounded by ungrateful natives screaming racist abuse through his letterbox as he attempts to master the uilleann pipes.</span></p>
<p><span>Despite being smarter and busier than the indigenous population, the migrants are poorer, have to pay higher rents and are under-represented in business ownership and politics, the ESRI would have you believe. You would wonder why the soon to be 25% of the population born overseas bother their backsides coming here at all.  Oh yes, they are here to pay our old age pensions, save the Irish language and Sean Nós singing, and in other ways advance the cause of old mother Éire better than the recalcitrant natives have managed.</span></p>
<p><span>Can you seriously imagine any other self-respecting nation state trumpeting this sort of stuff?  Has any other western state relentlessly told – or at the very least implied to – its own people that they are stupid, lazy, racist and over-advantaged in comparison to people who have absolutely no connection to the country other than being employed here? Or claimed that people not a wet week in the country are – in summary of the general tone – “The Best of Us”?</span></p>
<p><span>The other story from the WRC tells you much more about what is going on, and why the demographics of the Irish state are 90% driven by the human resources demands of international corporations, and those of particular sections of the domestic economy, many of them linked to if not derivative of Foreign Direct Investment.</span></p>
<p><span>FDI is the Golden Calf of the Irish ruling class and all those dependent upon it – as we all are, apparently, if you are familiar with the constant prayer to the corporation revenue haul.  Of course, what they do not tell you is that a quarter of the wealth produced in the state (a meaningless concept really but we shall park that for the time being) as measured by</span> <a href="https://gript.ie/why-the-growth-in-national-gdp-is-not-what-it-seems/"><span>Gross Domestic Product</span></a> <span>is taken out of the economy in transferred company profits.</span></p>
<p><span>The other tale to which I refer is from the Workplace Relations Committee. It concerns a Latvian national of Russian ethnicity who claims that she was unfairly made redundant by</span> <a href="https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2025/0327/1504418-ai-advances-drove-staff-cuts-at-tiktoks-irish-office/"><span>Tik Tok</span></a> <span>last year. That company which was founded in China – although the Chinese state does not allow it to operate its social media site there – employs over 38,000 people around the world.</span></p>
<p><span>Almost a tenth are apparently based in Ireland. where the company is said to employ</span> <a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2024/02/19/fears-for-irish-jobs-as-tiktok-says-it-will-cut-hundreds-of-roles-worldwide/"><span>“around 3,000.”</span></a> <span>That was the figure most often cited last year when the company was considering redundancies – which is what landed them and Ms. Viktorija Danilova into the WRC.  </span></p>
<p><span>Tik Tok had employed 2,000 people at the start of 2022 when it announced that it was going to create</span> <a href="https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/companies/arid-40892495.html"><span>another 1,000</span></a> <span>jobs here – which it would seem to have done if we compare their workforce now to that before the expansion took place.  Great you say.  A wonderful illustration of how our beneficial terms for the techie corporations is sustaining “our” economy.</span></p>
<p><span>Is it “ours” though?  A closer look at the composition of the expanded workforce would suggest that this is a rather simplistic view.  Not only that but that Tik Tok is a case study of both the nature of the corporate tech sector here and how it is the main driver behind mass immigration.</span></p>
<p><span>Since the announcement that they were taking on another 1,000 people, Tik Tok has been issued work permits for 561 persons who have come here from outside of the EU and EEA area.  Bear in mind that – as with Ms. Danilova who brought Tik Tok to the WRC – many of those taken on are EU nationals who do not need to have a work permit.  </span></p>
<p><span>Which begs the question as to exactly how many Irish people were taken on as part of the 1,000 job expansion and indeed how many Irish people actually work for Tik Tok? We can see that it was less than half, but if we include the unknown number of EU nationals, might it be just one third, a quarter, a tenth?</span></p>
<p><span>Or take Google.  This company is said to employ around 5,500 people in the Irish state.  Between the beginning of 2010 and up to the latest figures for this year, Google has been issued with 4,607 work permits.  Which means that if they are all still employed here that more than 80% of Google’s Irish workforce is from outside of the EU and EEA. </span></p>
<p><span>At the start of 2023, Google announced that it was planning to make</span> <a href="https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2023/0222/1358146-google-jobs/"><span>240 redundancies</span></a> <span>here. Yet, in the same year it was issued with 325 new work permits for people from outside of Europe.  In the two years of the Covid Panic when you risked being pinched if you travelled a few miles from your own house, Google was issued with 650 work permits for people mainly travelling here from Asia. Go figure.  As if you didn’t need more proof of who carries the big stick when it comes to how the Irish state conducts its affairs. </span></p>
<p><span>One last thing.  If the proportion of the Irish population that has third level qualifications is falling, perhaps the ESRI might take time off gaslighting you and do a study on how many of the tens of thousands of young people who are emigrating every year possess such accreditation. </span></p>
<p><span>They will not of course.  They are too busy like almost every other facet of public life here in persuading you that you are little more than an inconvenience in the onward “progress” towards a deracinated industrial estate and data centre.  </span></p>
<p><span>Now, shut up and keep quiet. You are not a citizen of a serious sovereign independent state.  You are a functionary of an economy, and according to the ESRI a not particularly productive or valuable one.</span></p>

title: Diplomat explains Putin’s proposal for temporary Ukraine administration

<p><strong>The Russian president has suggested that UN-backed external governance in Kiev could provide a legitimate foundation for peace negotiations</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>Russian President Vladimir Putin’s proposal to establish a temporary international administration in Ukraine under UN supervision is based on historical precedents, according to Kirill Logvinov, who heads the Foreign Ministry’s Department of International Organizations. He told TASS on Sunday that the UN already has experience with this process.</p>
<p>Moscow has repeatedly stated that it is not possible to sign a peace agreement with Kiev because the current Ukrainian leadership lacks legitimacy. Vladimir Zelensky’s presidential term expired in May 2024, though he has remained in office without holding elections, citing martial law.</p>
<p>Putin suggested earlier this week that creating <em>“external management or temporary administration”</em> under the UN could facilitate elections in Ukraine and provide a legitimate foundation for negotiations. A peace deal signed with a newly elected leader, he said, <em>“would be recognized around the world”</em> and could not be overturned later.</p>

    </blockquote>


    

<p><em>“There is no formal mechanism for creating such administrations in the UN,”</em> Logvinov acknowledged. However, he noted that the UN has established transitional authorities in several post-conflict areas, including Cambodia, East Timor, and Eastern Slavonia, setting a precedent for this type of arrangement.</p>
<p><em>“In all cases, the first step was reaching an agreement between the parties to the conflict – directly or through intermediaries – on the appropriate transfer of powers to the UN,”</em> he explained. Once an agreement is reached, the parties or their mediators would then submit a formal appeal to the UN. The Security Council would instruct the secretary-general to prepare a framework for the temporary administration, including a timeline and budget.</p>
<p>Logvinov stressed that the final decision rests with the UN Security Council following a report by the secretary-general outlining the form and functions of the proposed administration.</p>

    </blockquote>


    

<p>Officials in Kiev have rejected the idea. Andrey Kovalenko, the head of Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation, claimed on Telegram that the plan is an attempt by Moscow to delay peace talks.</p>
<p>Washington has not formally commented on the proposal. However, Reuters quoted an unnamed White House national security spokesperson who said Ukraine’s governance should be determined by its constitution and people.</p>
<p>UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres dismissed the proposal on Friday, insisting that <em>“Ukraine has a legitimate government, and so obviously that must be respected.”</em></p>
<p>Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, currently the deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, criticized Guterres’ remarks, calling them a <em>“double lie.”</em> Referring to Zelensky in a post on X, he said: <em>“The nit is illegitimate. There’s nothing to respect him for. He failed, his people are dying, and his country is disappearing.”</em></p>

title: No firings over Signal leak – Trump

<p><strong>The US president has said he still trusts National Security Adviser Michael Waltz and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>US President Donald Trump has said he has no plans to fire anyone after a journalist accessed a chat on the Signal encrypted messaging app in which senior members of the administration discussed military operations.</p>
<p>On Monday, The Atlantic magazine detailed purported confidential conversations between Vice President J.D. Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and other high-ranking officials regarding US strikes against the Houthi fighters in Yemen.</p>
<p>The author of the article, Jeffrey Goldberg, claimed to have obtained the information after being added to a chat on Signal called ‘Houthi PC small group’ by US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz.</p>
<p>Asked by NBC News on Saturday if Waltz or Hegseth, who are said to have shared a detailed timeline of the planned attacks on the chat, will face repercussions over the leak, Trump replied: <em>“I do not fire people because of fake news and because of witch hunts.”</em></p>

    </blockquote>


    

<p>The president insisted that he still has confidence in both his national security adviser and the defense secretary.</p>
<p><em>“I have no idea what Signal is. I do not care what Signal is. All I can tell you is it is just a witch hunt, and it is the only thing the press wants to talk about because you have nothing else to talk about; because it has been the greatest 100-day presidency in the history of our country,”</em> he said.</p>
<p>Politico reported on Friday that Vance was among the members of the administration who asked Trump to fire Waltz after the incident.</p>
<p>The outlet’s sources claimed Trump agreed that his adviser <em>“messed up,”</em> but ultimately decided against firing him. <em>“Like hell he would give the liberal media and pearl-clutching Democrats a win,”</em> one source explained.</p>
<p>Waltz’s spokesman, Brian Hughes, denied the report, calling it <em>“gossip from people lacking the integrity to attach their names.”</em> The national security adviser <em>“serves at the pleasure of President Trump”</em> and continues to have his support, the spokesman said.</p>

<p>Se c’è una cancelleria che è una vera iattura per gli ucraini è quella situata al numero 10 di Downing Street, a Londra. Lo è stata nel 2022, quando lo scapigliato Boris Johnson si era precipitato a Kiev per convincere Volodymyr Zelensky a non cercare l’accordo con Vladimir Putin, davanti ai 100mila uomini ammassati oltreconfine. Gli aveva promesso nientemeno che la vittoria sulla Russia, un’utopia alla quale nessun generale di nessuna parte del mondo ci aveva creduto.</p>
<p>Oggi al numero 10 di Downing Street abita Keir Starmer, e a quanto pare la musica non è cambiata. Il premier britannico, in linea con i democratici Usa dell’”armiamoci e partite”, ha organizzato una videoconferenza con i 25 della “coalizione dei volenterosi” (Paesi europei più Canada, Nuova Zelanda, Giappone e Australia) per promuovere l’invio di un contingente militare con lo scopo di garantire il rispetto degli accordi che verranno stabiliti nel processo di sospensione delle ostilità.</p>
<p>C’è solo un piccolo particolare: i 25 “volenterosi” non hanno rappresentato in questo conflitto la terza parte, cioè quella neutrale, bensì tra sanzioni (controproducenti), manipolazione russofobica della stampa e invio di armi sempre più sofisticate hanno fatto una scelta chiara di campo, tradendo indelebilmente la vocazione pacifista dell’Unione Europea.</p>
<p>Il cospicuo invio di uomini e di mezzi nell’extracomunitaria Ucraina a cui ha pensato Starmer rischia quindi di essere di tutto fuorché una “forza di pace”, cioè di interposizione, e non è un caso se con una scusa o con l’altra il primo ministro italiano Giorgia Meloni si è detta disponibilissima a lavorare con i partner europei, ma ha sottolineato che “non è prevista la partecipazione nazionale ad una eventuale forza militare sul terreno”.</p>
<p>Starmer ha spiegato di essere intenzionato a “mantenere la pressione su Putin affinché venga al tavolo” delle trattative, se necessario aumentando le sanzioni. Tuttavia sembra continuare a sfuggirgli la realtà che il suo paese è stato ed è parte schierata nel conflitto, e che soprattutto si trova sul grande carro degli sconfitti, non dei vincitori. Cioè in una posizione inadatta a dettare condizioni e ultimatum.</p>
<p>Certo, l’idea di lasciare la rogna ucraina agli europei è arrivata prima di tutti a Donald Trump, ma se c’è una cosa che gioverebbe agli europei e all’ucraina stessa è la ripresa dei rapporti di buon vicinato con la Russia, l’acquisto del gas, gli scambi commerciali e culturali, la cooperazione nella ricostruzione, altro che l’invio di militari e carri armati. Peccato che al numero 10 di Downing Street continui invece ad aleggiare lo spirito del dio della guerra.</p>

<p>The 1987 order from the German government was clear: Shut down your operations in Libya. For Lutz Kayser, this marked the heartbreaking finale to his private rocketry enterprise, OTRAG, and to his dream of “making access to space affordable for everyone”.</p>
<p>Founded in Germany and based, in a series of bizarre turns, first in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) and then deep in the Libyan desert, OTRAG had developed an IKEA-like concept for rocket design, using mass-produced modular components that could be assembled into spacecraft of various shapes and sizes.</p>

<p>The two African countries both offered potentially ideal conditions for rocket launching: vast, unregulated spaces far from prying eyes. But when United States and Israeli intelligence came to suspect that Libya was coopting the programme for its own military ends, it meant the end of the line for OTRAG, given that Kayser and his colleagues could face criminal charges in their home country had they persisted. In a final, devastating twist, all of OTRAG’s equipment was seized by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, but its modular approach to rocketry would go on to influence later generations of aerospace players.</p>

<p>While government agencies sent Sputnik into orbit and put men on the moon, Kayser represented one of a succession of individual pioneers – incidentally all white and all male – who have endeavoured to conquer the skies despite being regularly dismissed by their contemporaries as absurd or deluded.</p>
<p>And although the second <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2025/3/7/video-spacex-starship-rocket-explodes-minutes-after-launch">explosion</a> this year of a SpaceX rocket presents another setback for CEO Elon Musk in his ultimate mission to colonise Mars, it is likely only a hiccup in the ongoing privatisation of aerospace, the roots of which go right back to the late 19th century.</p>

<p>Born in 1857, the Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky is credited for laying the mathematical and theoretical foundations for rocketry. As the reclusive home-schooled child of a minor government official living in a log cabin about 200km (125 miles) southeast of Moscow, Tsiolkovsky developed an interest in mathematics and physics and then, reading the science fiction of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Verne">Jules Verne</a>, became enthralled by the possibility of space travel.</p>
<p>Although never formally educated, Tsiolkovsky went to Moscow and carried out his own research there under the influence of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Fyodorovich_Fyodorov">Nikolai Fyodorov</a>, a proponent of “cosmism”, a philosophical movement at the time that integrated science, religion and metaphysics with a belief in the potential immortality of mankind and the harnessing of science for space exploration.</p>
<p>In contrast to the present archetype of “capitalist turned space crusader”, Tsiolkovsky went on to earn his living as a teacher in another remote part of southwest Russia. Beset by personal tragedies – including the suicide of his son, the loss of many of his research notes and manuscripts in a flood and the arrest of his daughter for revolutionary activities – Tsiolkovsky defied misfortune to publish almost 100 works on space travel and related subjects, including designs for rockets with steering thrusters, multistage boosters, space stations, airlocks for exiting a spaceship and closed-cycle biological systems to provide food and oxygen for space colonies.</p>
<p>And in 1895, inspired by the newly constructed Eiffel Tower, Tsiolkovsky conceived the “<a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/space-elevators-are-less-sci-fi-than-you-think/">space elevator</a>”, a cable theoretically attached to the Earth somewhere along the equator and reaching well beyond the atmosphere, using centrifugal power from Earth’s rotation to counter downward gravity, keeping the cable upright and taut. The immensely long cable, according to Tsiolkovsky, would enable vehicles attached to the cable to carry people and cargo all the way up to a stationary space station and back again.</p>

</div>
<p>While that and many of his other ideas might seem far fetched even today, Tsiolkovsky is regarded as a theoretical grandfather of spaceflight. “Tsiolkovsky was the prophet of the Space Age,” Sergei Korolev, chief designer of the Sputnik-era Soviet space programme, wrote in his 1934 book Rocket Flight in the Stratosphere. “His ideas and calculations formed the foundation of modern astronautics.”</p>

<p>Tsiolkovsky died in 1935, and although he never obtained the means to put his ideas into practice, other space pioneers of that era were developing similar theories and trying to execute them. One such figure was Robert H Goddard, the American engineer who built and launched the world’s first liquid-fuelled rocket.</p>
<p>Goddard, born in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1882, also had a deep fascination with science and mechanics from an early age. Like Tsiolkovsky, he too was galvanised by science fiction, writing in his diary as a teenager about the HG Wells novel The War of the Worlds sparking the idea of space travel in his imagination.</p>
<p>Goddard grew up in a comfortable home as the son of a businessman and conducted experiments with kites, balloons and homemade fireworks. While climbing a cherry tree in his back yard, aged 17, he had a kind of epiphany, imagining a rocket capable of reaching Mars. This vision stayed with Goddard throughout his career and was the motivation behind his scientific curiosity and his concept of space travel. He later wrote in an unpublished autobiography, “I was a different boy when I descended the tree, for existence at last seemed very purposive.”</p>
<div data-sanitized-class="container--ads in-article-ads slot-3-placement">
<p><span data-sanitized-class="ads__title">Advertisement</span></p>
</div>
<p>While working on his doctorate in physics at Clark University in Massachusetts, Goddard began experimenting with solid and liquid fuel propulsion, believing that rockets could be used for high-altitude research, atmospheric studies and eventually exploration of space.</p>
<p>He obtained patents in 1914 for a multistage rocket and a liquid-fuelled rocket engine and five years later published A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes, a groundbreaking book that outlined his theories on spaceflight, for example, that a rocket could function in the vacuum of space.</p>

Of course, he only seems to lack the knowledge ladled out daily in high schools.”</p>
<p>Unfazed by the criticism, Goddard countered to a reporter: “Every vision is a joke until the first man accomplishes it. Once realised, it becomes commonplace.”</p>
<p>On March 16, 1926, Goddard succeeded in launching the world’s first liquid-fuelled rocket in Auburn, Massachusetts. Nicknamed “Nell”, the rocket flew for about 2.5 seconds, reaching a height of 12.5 metres (41ft) – seemingly unremarkable now but identified as a seminal moment in the evolution of rocketry.</p>
<p>Goddard went on to work with the US military on rocket-assisted takeoff systems for aircraft.</p>

Upon their release, a number of those scientists were invited to join NASA, meaning that Goddard’s theories were ultimately applied in the US mission to put a man on the moon.</p>
<div data-sanitized-class="container--ads in-article-ads">

</div>
<p>And Goddard would no doubt have been amused to read the retraction by The New York Times of its derisory 1920 editorial, published just prior to the Apollo 11 moon landing of 1969.</p>
<p>“It is now definitely established,” the Times editors wrote, “that a rocket can function in a vacuum as well as in an atmosphere.”</p>
<p>“The Times regrets the error.”</p>
<p>One of Goddard’s students of rocketry had been a man by the name of Edwin Aldrin, whose son Buzz Aldrin was an astronaut and the second person to walk on the moon after Neil Armstrong.</p>
<p>Today, Goddard is recognised as a visionary of the space age, and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is named in his honour.</p>

<p>As Goddard’s life was drawing to a close, another seminal character in private space exploration was still in his infancy. Born in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1939, Lutz Theodor Kayser was spellbound by rocketry from his early childhood. He idolised Wernher von Braun, leader of Germany’s V-2 guided missile programme during World War II, who later became famous for his role in NASA. Witnessing Russia’s 1957 launch of Sputnik I, the world’s first artificial satellite, Kayser became captivated by the emerging Cold War space race between the US and the USSR.</p>
<p>At the University of Stuttgart studying rocket propulsion, Kayser came to the conclusion that existing space programmes were overreliant on highly complex and expensive systems and that there existed a possibility of far simpler, cost-efficient modular rocket design – a flat-pack-like approach to rocketry that could potentially democratise space travel and bring it within the grasp of people around the world.</p>
<div data-sanitized-class="container--ads in-article-ads">
<p><span data-sanitized-class="ads__title">Advertisement</span></p>
</div>
<p>Kayser joined the Working Group for Rocket Technology and Spaceflight, a student-led organisation that designed small-scale rockets and conducted test launches. He also connected with leading German aerospace figures such as Kurt Debus, a former Nazi scientist who later became an important figure in NASA.</p>
<p>Kayser’s vision was to develop a low-cost space transportation system independent of government control, challenging the assumption that space exploration could only be managed by state-run agencies, such as NASA and the Soviet space programme.</p>
<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3600993" data-sanitized-id="attachment_3600993" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" src="https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/shutterstock_1492544594-1-1742893586.jpg?w=770&amp;resize=770%2C513" alt="Goddard" data-sanitized-class="size-arc-image-770 wp-image-3600993"><figcaption data-sanitized-id="caption-attachment-3600993" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption-text">A statue of rocket pioneer Robert Goddard at Roswell in the US state of New Mexico [File: Shutterstock]</figcaption></figure><p>In 1975, backed by private investors, Kayser founded OTRAG (Orbital Transport und Raketen AG – Orbital Transport and Rocketry Ltd) with a unique concept: Instead of building a single large, expensive spacecraft, the idea was to manufacture modular rocket segments that could be mass-assembled in different configurations, enabling space expeditions to be cheaper and more frequent.</p>
<p>However, OTRAG faced a challenge in that launching rockets required access to vast and unrestricted land tracts – not readily available in Germany or indeed anywhere in Western Europe – leading Kayser to embark upon a rather outlandish and controversial strategy. Introduced to President Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire by a fellow German businessman, Kayser negotiated the leasing of a 100,000sq-km (38,600sq-mile) launch site in a remote and underpopulated region of that country, enabling OTRAG to conduct its tests free from any regulations and far from any unwanted scrutiny. That apparent solution turned out to be its downfall.</p>
<div data-sanitized-class="container--ads in-article-ads">
<p><span data-sanitized-class="ads__title">Advertisement</span></p>
</div>
<p>Initial OTRAG test launches were apparently successful, but both Western and Soviet intelligence agencies began to speculate that the operation was secretly developing military missiles – German arms development being an especially sensitive issue after World War II. Mobutu was pressured by both NATO and the Eastern Bloc to shut down the entire programme, and in 1979, OTRAG had no option but to leave Zaire.</p>
<p>Undeterred, Kayser searched for an alternative location and found a warm welcome in Libya, whose fiercely independent President Gaddafi was only too willing to defy Western powers and host such a grandiose aerospace project. The Libyan desert provided another optimal test site, again without much regulatory control.</p>
<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3601002" data-sanitized-id="attachment_3601002" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" src="https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Libyan-workers-assemble-an-OTRAG-rocket-image-credit-SWR-Lunabeach-TV-Media-GmbH-Frank-Wukasch-1742893857.jpg?w=770&amp;resize=770%2C434" alt="OTRAG Libya" data-sanitized-class="size-arc-image-770 wp-image-3601002"><figcaption data-sanitized-id="caption-attachment-3601002" data-sanitized-class="wp-caption-text">Libyan workers assemble an OTRAG rocket [File: Frank Wukasch/SWR Lunabeach TV &amp; Media GmbH]</figcaption></figure><p>OTRAG conducted several test launches from the Sebha region of the Sahara, using multiple small engines, potentially enabling a “scalable” rocket system for various commercial or military applications.</p>
<p>But geopolitics interfered once again. The US and its NATO allies soon concluded that OTRAG’s technology could be applied to long-range ballistic missiles, and the CIA and Israel’s Mossad spy agencies both accused Libya of co-opting OTRAG for its own missile capabilities, potentially in league with North Korea and Pakistan.</p>
<p>By the mid-1980s, the resulting diplomatic and military pressure made it impossible for OTRAG to continue operating in Libya – hence the 1987 German government directive to cease all operations. The company shut down its base there in 1987, only for its assets to be seized by the Gaddafi regime, apparently, as suspected, to further its own missile development – an unsuccessful bid in the absence of Kayser’s blueprints and personal expertise.</p>
<div data-sanitized-class="container--ads in-article-ads">
<p><span data-sanitized-class="ads__title">Advertisement</span></p>
</div>
<p>This ended Kayser’s vision of accessible space travel, but surprisingly, he remained in Libya for another decade, teaching rocket science at a university in Tripoli. It is unclear why he chose to stay, but given the financial clout of Libya at that time, it could have simply been the temptation of a large, tax-free salary after his business losses.</p>
<p>Kayser withdrew from the public spotlight and died in 2017, aged 78, on a trip to India, but his work remains a notable chapter in the history of private rocketry. OTRAG is now recognised as a foundation stone of contemporary space travel, its impact seen for example in the “modularity” of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, which uses nine identical engines in its first stage, and in the now common aerospace strategy of using relatively cheap, over-the-counter equipment instead of more expensive proprietary components.</p>

<p>Commercialisation of the aerospace industry was kick-started in earnest by an American man called Elbert Leander “Burt” Rutan. Born in 1943 in Estacada, Oregon, the young Rutan inherited his dentist father’s passion for aviation, sketching futuristic aircraft designs, testing model gliders and experimenting with wind tunnels.</p>
<p>With a degree in aerospace engineering from California Polytechnic State University, Rutan went on to work as a flight test engineer at Edwards Air Force Base in California, where he gained experience with experimental aircraft and aerodynamics. He left the US air force in 1972 to found the Rutan Aircraft Factory in Mojave, California, aiming to produce easy-to-build, high-performance aircraft. Having succeeded with two planes – the light and fuel-efficient VariEze, and the ultra-lightweight Voyager – Rutan set his sights on space travel.</p>
<div data-sanitized-class="container--ads in-article-ads">
<p><span data-sanitized-class="ads__title">Advertisement</span></p>
</div>
<p>With funding from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen – this connection between tech money and space travel being the shape of things to come – Rutan embarked upon Space Ship One, a “suborbital” spacecraft designed to go beyond the atmosphere but not make a full orbit of the Earth.</p>
<p>On June 21, 2004, SpaceShipOne became the first private spacecraft to reach outer space – that is, to get beyond Earth’s atmosphere – returning safely with a “feathering” re-entry system, allowing it to descend safely without complex heat shields.</p>

<p>“Welcome to the dawn of a new space age,” declared Branson upon the successful touchdown of his touristic spacecraft Galactic 01 on June 29, 2023 – provided, of course, that you have $600,000 for the suborbital ride. The 72-minute voyage takes passengers about 85km (53 miles) high, where they can experience weightlessness and see the curvature of the Earth.</p>
<p>The corporate space race is now in full thrust, and it is perhaps only a matter of time before Musk and his archrival, Jeff Bezos, fulfil their respective ambitions to dispatch millions of human workers to the moon and onwards, begging the question: Is an interplanetary commute any more desirable than the kind we put up with here on Earth?</p>

<p>And just as modern aviation owes a debt to the dashing innovators who risked life and limb in the earliest attempts to fly, so too are today’s aerospace corporations beholden to the cosmic pioneers who showed that science fiction can become reality, that boyhood dreams can lead to breakthrough innovations and that the ideas of eccentric outliers can one day be universally accepted as genuine scientific advances.</p>

</div><div aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" readability="86.020669291339">
<p>United States Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says his country and Japan share a “warrior ethos” in tackling Chinese aggression across the Taiwan Strait.</p>
<p>In a meeting in Tokyo on Sunday with his Japanese counterpart, Gen Nakatani, Hegseth said Japan was their “indispensable partner in deterring communist Chinese military aggression”.</p>

<p>“America is committed to sustaining robust, ready and credible deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, including across the Taiwan Strait,” Hegseth said.</p>

<p>In the past few years, China has increased its <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/13/taiwan-says-tougher-measures-needed-to-counter-chinese-infiltration">military presence</a> around Taiwan, including near-daily air incursions, and has not ruled out using force to bring Taiwan under its control.</p>
<p>Last year, former President Joe Biden’s administration announced that the US military in Japan would be revamped to increase coordination with Tokyo’s forces in what the two countries described as Beijing being their “greatest strategic challenge”.</p>
<p>However, as President Donald Trump has pushed for an “America first” policy, analysts warn that US security commitments in the region could be affected.</p>
<div data-sanitized-class="container--ads in-article-ads">

</div>
<p>Japan currently hosts 50,000 US military personnel and squadrons of fighter jets stationed mainly in Okinawa on the east of Taiwan.</p>
<p>Earlier in March, Trump criticised the <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/25/us-japan-to-strengthen-military-ties-in-response-to-china">US-Japan security alliance</a> and said while the US protects them, they do not protect Washington.</p>
<p>“I actually ask, who makes these deals?” he said.</p>
<h2 data-sanitized-id="military-spending">Military spending</h2>
<p>Hegseth blamed the Biden administration for creating a “vacuum, a perception that America was not strong and wasn’t prepared to deter conflicts from starting”.</p>
<p>He said Washington would “build an alliance so robust that both the reality and the perception of deterrence is real and ongoing, so that the Communist Chinese don’t take the aggressive actions that some have contemplated they will”.</p>
<p>Alongside Hegseth’s visit, there are expectations that Trump will push the US allies in Asia to increase military spending and improve their defence capabilities.</p>
<p>Hegseth and Nakatani agreed to accelerate a plan to jointly produce beyond-visual-range air-to-air AMRAAM missiles and to consider collaborating on the production of SM-6 surface-to-air defence missiles to help ease a shortage of munitions, Nakatani said.</p>
<p>Hegseth said Washington was “confident Japan will make the correct determination of what capabilities are needed inside our alliance to make sure we are standing shoulder to shoulder”.</p>
<p>However, the push to increase spending comes at the same time that Tokyo is reeling from Trump’s decision to impose a <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025/3/27/trump-announces-25-percent-tariffs-on-cars-ramping-up-trade-war">25 percent tariff</a> on auto imports that will take effect on April 3.</p>

<p data-sanitized-class="article__subhead"><em>Brandon Moreno defeats Steve Erceg by unanimous decision in their main event flyweight title eliminator bout in Mexico City.</em></p>
</div><div aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" readability="87.31512605042">
<p>Former two-time flyweight champion Brandon Moreno erased a stigma from his last Ultimate Fighting Championship Mexico outing, winning a unanimous decision against Steve Erceg in a flyweight title eliminator bout at the UFC Fight Night main event, sweeping the cards 49-46, 49-46, 49-46 over the former flyweight title challenger in Mexico City.</p>
<p>Although Saturday’s fight was closely competitive, Moreno won all but one round – Round 3 – on all three cards as the 31-year-old kept the fight standing and made Erceg come to him throughout the bout.</p>

<p>Moreno never came close to securing a finish against his opponent, but he outlanded his adversary 82-67 in total strikes, ensuring the Australian-born Erceg would not spring an upset against the hometown favourite.</p>
<p>Post-fight, Moreno called out UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell regarding guidance for his next fight. Although Moreno did not name a would-be opponent explicitly, he requested to be part of UFC 320, scheduled for September 13 in Guadalajara, Mexico.</p>
<div data-sanitized-class="container--ads in-article-ads">
<p><span data-sanitized-class="ads__title">Advertisement</span></p>
</div>
<p>“I think I can move the needle,” Moreno said after the fight.</p>
<p>Erceg has dropped three in a row after a rapid UFC start, going back to the drawing board again.</p>
<p>“I’ll be back,” Erceg said.</p>
<p>In the night’s co-main event, Manuel Torres overwhelmed 12-year UFC veteran Drew Dober to secure a first-round technical knockout, where Dober took at least 16 unanswered shots to the side of the head before the referee stopped the fight.</p>
<p>Torres is back in the win column for the first time in more than a year, whereas Dober has lost four of his last five dating to May 2023.</p>
<p>In an earlier fight on Saturday, Mexico’s rising UFC bantamweight star Raul Rosas Jr survived a late scare from Vince Morales to fend off a third-round D’arce choke submission and win a unanimous decision 29-28, 29-28, 29-28.</p>
<p>Rosas Jr ignited his hometown crowd to earn his fifth win over his last six appearances, using his crisp boxing to frustrate Morales, who had not earned a win in mixed martial arts since last August before being re-signed to the promotion shortly thereafter.</p>

title: From beats to ballots: What political rap lyrics tell us
hash: `��d��?�)2�o`�k

content:
<h2 data-sanitized-id="what-role-has-hip-hop-played-in-activism">What role has hip-hop played in activism?</h2>
<p>From the 1980s, hip-hop has essentially enabled marginalised voices to break through to the mainstream.</p>
<p>The song Girl (Cocaine) That's Your Life, released by Too Short in 1985, explores the gritty reality of a woman entrenched in street culture, examining her daily struggles, difficult decisions, and the inevitable repercussions of her chosen lifestyle.</p>
<p><em>Since age thirteen what have I seen</em><br><em>A lotto of base heads straight coke fiends</em><br><em>Snorting, puffing, that's the life</em><br><em>But it's all over when you hit that pipe</em></p>
<p>“We [the Black community in America] were getting these first-person narratives from voices that were not in the mainstream. The voices of the unheard were speaking through rap. Instead of rioting they now had a platform to express themselves,” explained Arnold.</p>
<p>In 1987, New York hip-hop rap group Public Enemy, known for raising political issues, media manipulation, and systemic racism in their lyrics, released their debut album, Yo! Bum Rush the Show. The group's subsequent album, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (1988) established its legacy in both musical achievement and social advocacy.</p>
<p>In Compton, California, N.W.A (Niggaz With an Attitude) release of F**k the Police, which featured on its 1988 album Straight Outta Compton, addressed systemic issues of police brutality and racial profiling.</p>
<p><em>F--k the police comin' straight from the underground</em><br><em>A Young nigga got it bad 'cause I'm brown</em><br><em>And not the other colour so police think</em><br><em>They have the authority to kill a minority</em></p>
<p>The lyrics prompted widespread outrage among conservatives, culminating in the FBI sending a formal letter of condemnation to N.W.A's record label regarding the song's perceived anti-law enforcement message.</p>
<p>Even non-political rappers began to incorporate political messages into their songs, said Arnold, demonstrating how deeply political discourse had permeated hip-hop culture. This influence was so pervasive that artists with no explicit ideological stance found themselves engaging with political themes.</p>
<p>"There are only a few artists and groups who are political ideologues. Everything else is occasional political commentary," said Arnold. "In terms of political ideology, you have Public Enemy, Paris, the Coup, maybe Boogie Down Productions, in the late 80s, early 90s. In the early 2000s, you have Dead Prez and Immortal Technique. On top of that, you have Ice Cube developing a political consciousness that's evident on his first and second solo albums but then fades into the background on subsequent albums."</p>
<h2 data-sanitized-id="which-major-incidents-have-inspired-political-hip-hop-lyrics">Which major incidents have inspired political hip-hop lyrics?</h2>
<p>One was the 1991 acquittal of four White Los Angeles police officers who had been videotaped severely beating Rodney King, a Black man. The verdict led to six-day-long riots in Los Angeles, resulting in more than 60 deaths, 12,000 arrests and almost $1bn in property damage. The incident inspired Ice Cube to write the song We Had to Tear This Mothaf**a Up, which was released on his 1992 album, The Predator:</p>
<p><em>Not guilty, the filthy, devils tried to kill me</em><br><em>When the news get to the hood the ni**as will be</em><br><em>Hotter than cayenne pepper, cuss, bust</em><br><em>Kickin up dust is a must</em></p>
<p>His former N.W.A. rap mate, Dr Dre, also released a response to the LA riots in his 1992 album The Chronic, The Day the Nig**az Took Over:</p>
<p><em>Mi not out for peace and mi not Rodney King</em><br><em>De gun goes click, mi gun goes bang</em><br><em>Dem riot in Compton and dem riot in Long Beach</em><br><em>Dem riot in L.A. 'cause dem no really wanna see</em><br><em>Niggas start to loot and police start to shoot</em></p>
<p>The first line explicitly rejects calls for peace and expresses the frustrations of the Black community. King himself took a more conciliatory tone during a news conference on May 1, 1992, during the riots. Hoping to quell the violence, he famously stated: "Can't we all just get along?"</p>
<p>"Police brutality is a theme. It's not just one thing, it's not just: Oh, Rodney King got beat up. All of these people got beat up. They're still getting beat up. And it didn't end in 1992," said Arnold.</p>
<p>Another incident which inspired lyrics was the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, a neighbourhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Florida, in February 2012. The following year, Zimmerman was acquitted.</p>
<p>The shooting ignited national outrage, raising intense discussions about racial profiling, gun control legislation, and Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law.</p>
<p>Hip-hop rapper Plies, who co-founded the independent label Big Gates Records, released We Are Trayvon in 2012, promoting the Trayvon Martin Foundation started by Trayvon's parents with the goal of raising awareness about gun violence.</p>
<p><em>I never thought that wearing no hoodie, could cost you your life</em><br><em>And I never thought you could just kill somebody and go out the same night. (same night)</em><br><em>Every dog that you see that bark, don’t mean that he bite</em><br><em>And everything that’s Black ain’t even, everything that’s pure ain’t white</em></p>
<p><iframe title="Plies - We Are Trayvon [Music Video]" width="770" height="433" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pbCehL-B32w?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin">[embedded content]</iframe></p>
<p>In 2014, 17-year-old Laquan McDonald was fatally shot by Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke. Police dash-cam footage later emerged, revealing that McDonald had been walking away from Van Dyke when the officer fired 16 shots at the teenager. The withholding of this video evidence triggered huge demonstrations and public outcry.</p>
<p><span>Two years after the incident, rapper Vic Mensa released 16 Shots: </span></p>
<p><em>He never had a chance, and we all know it's cause he Black</em><br><em>Shot 'em sixteen times, how f*cked up is that?</em><br><em>Now, the police superintendent wanna double back</em><br><em>Cops speeding up to the block like a running back</em></p>
<p>Officer Van Dyke was found guilty of second-degree murder and 16 counts of aggravated battery in 2018 but was released in 2022 after serving three years of his sentence.</p>
<p>In 2015, Sandra Bland, a 28-year-old African American woman, was pulled over by law enforcement in Prairie View, Texas. What began as a routine traffic stop for failing to signal a lane change quickly spiralled into a confrontation that resulted in her arrest on charges of allegedly assaulting a police officer.</p>
<p>Three days later, officials discovered her lifeless body in her cell at Waller County Jail. Although authorities determined she died by suicide through hanging, her death would prompt national controversy.</p>
