German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged Russia to de-escalate the crisis along the border with Ukraine, where there has been a massive build-up of Russian troops.

The situation on the Ukrainian-Russian border worries the governments in Berlin and Madrid and is “very, very serious,” said Scholz on Monday in the Spanish capital during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

“Military aggression against Ukraine would have serious political and economic consequences. That’s why it’s our job to do everything we can to avoid such a development, which in the end everyone would be worse off for,” he said.

Excerpt:

Prince Harry says it’s unsafe to return to the UK with his wife, Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, due to a lack of security. In an effort to avoid missing Queen Elizabeth’s platinum jubilee this summer, Harry is threatening legal action against the British government, seeking police protection whenever he and his family are in Britain. On Saturday, the Duke of Sussex’s legal representative issued a statement detailing why additional security is needed beyond his own private security team. “Prince Harry inherited a security risk at birth, for life. He remains sixth in line to the throne, served two tours of combat duty in Afghanistan, and in recent years his family has been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats,” Harry’s legal representative wrote. “While his role within the institution has changed, his profile as a member…

The Weaponized Migrants Used by Belarus to Attack the EU

Belarus deploys migrants in clash with European Union – Kashmir Reader

Excerpt:

The key to this migrant crisis has been Putin. He has been Lukashenko’s benefactor and guarantor.

When Alexander Lukashenko crushed a nationwide revolt against his fraudulent presidential victory, he had been hampered by sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union since the summer of 2020, which were biting hard. In response, Lukashenko began offering safe passage for Middle Easterners to Europe, first to Minsk, capital of Belarus, and then, often by government bus, to Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. The motive behind this was to force EU to ease its sanctions against Belarus, by directly threatening an immigration flood tide. In some cases, migrants had even paid five to ten-thousand dollars to come to Belarus, reflecting money profiteering by Lukashenko’s regime. However, there were also others, mostly economic migrants, who had come with minimal expense.
The migrants fleeing the war-torn countries included Afghans, Iraqis and ethnic Kurds. The desperation…

Eric Zemmour: Far-right candidate found guilty of hate speech – BBC News

From www.bbc.com
2022-01-17 13:34:19

Excerpt:

Far-right French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour has been fined €10,000 (£8,350) by a Paris court for hate speech.

The case was launched over a TV appearance, where he described unaccompanied migrant children as “thieves”, “rapists” and “murderers”.

Former broadcaster Zemmour is known for his anti-Islam and anti-immigration views.

His lawyer said he would appeal against the court’s decision.

Reacting to the verdict on social media, Zemmour complained that his freedom of speech was being restricted, and said there was an “urgent need to drive ideology out of the courts”.

He made the comments in September 2020 on the CNews television channel, where he used to work as a pundit.

AI to Track How Dissent Grows on Twitter

Freedomist Editor January 17, 2022

Billionaires and their corporate toys are using artificial intelligence and deep learning machines to attempt to re-engineer humanity to be more obedient to them, as well as being less competetive. Researchers from Europe are attempting to use AI to analyzie tweets about vaccines and climate change to learn how to identify sources of dissent and shut it down. Of course the researchers didn’t say such things outright, but, in essense, this is how we read a project such as this. Researchers claim to just be attempting to understand how opinions form, how ideas spread, but they’re essentially seeking to map out the structures of dissent itself.

Researchers use AI to analyze tweets debating vaccination and climate change

Excerpt:

Using artificial intelligence (AI) researchers have found that between 2007 and 2016 online sentiments around climate change were uniform, but this was not the case with vaccination.

Climate change and vaccinations might share many of the same social and environmental elements, but that doesn’t mean the debates are divided along the same demographics.

A research team from the University of Waterloo and the University of Guelph trained a machine-learning algorithm to analyze a massive number of tweets about climate change and vaccination.

The researchers found that climate change sentiment was overwhelmingly on the pro side of those that believe climate change is because of human activity and requires action. There was also a significant amount of interaction between users with opposite sentiments about climate change.

However, in the snapshot of the timeframe of the dataset, vaccine sentiment was nowhere near so uniform. In fact, only some 15 or 20 percent of users expressed a clearly pro-vaccine sentiment, while around 70 percent expressed no strong sentiment. Perhaps more importantly, individuals and entire online communities with differing sentiments toward vaccination interacted much less than the climate change debate.

“It is an open question whether these differences in user sentiment and social media echo chambers concerning vaccines created the conditions for highly polarized vaccine sentiment when the COVID-19 vaccines began to roll out,” said Chris Bauch, professor of applied mathematics at the University of Waterloo. “If we were to do the same study today with data from the past…

Boston’s Christian Flag Ban Gets SCOTUS Hearing

Paul Collier January 17, 2022

The city of Boston allows all ranges of political expression to be used in its row of flags on City Hall. The flagpole regularly features flags ‘celebrating’ diversity and civic engagement, and has included LGBTQ flags and other Leftist cause celebs. The appearance of a Christian flag to represent the Chrtistians of the city, however, is not approved. The case is now going before the Supreme Court, who must decide if the non-Constitutional standard of ‘separation of church and state’ is to be used to exclude Christians from being represented as being part of a diverse community or not.

Supreme Court to hear First Amendment dispute over Christian flag

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON – For years the city of Boston rotated dozens of flags on a pole outside City Hall to celebrate veterans, paramedics, sports teams and LGBTQ pride as part of what it describes as an effort to promote diversity and civic engagement.

But when a group applied in 2017 to hoist a “Christian flag” up the 83-foot pole, city officials said it wouldn’t fly. The blue-and-white flag, with a red Latin cross in one corner, would violate the long-held principle of separation of church and state, they said.

Navy Seals Get Vax Reprieve

Paul Collier January 17, 2022

US Navy Seals won their day in court and will presumably have more days in court as the ruling by a Federal District Judge granting them the right to reject the military vaccine mandate on religious grounds is sure to be appealed and sure to end up in the Supreme Court.

Excerpt:

“There is no COVID-19 exception to the First Amendment,” wrote U.S. District Court Judge Reed O’Connor. His words, directed to the United States Navy, should remind all Americans – and especially those in positions of authority – that the Constitution refuses to bend to authoritarian impulses.

Earlier this month, O’Connor issued a preliminary injunction against the U.S. Navy, preventing it from taking any further action against the 35 Navy SEALs and Special Warfare service members represented by the First Liberty Institute. It also provides hope for the thousands of members of the military who bravely raised religious objections to receiving the vaccine knowing full well their fates had long been sealed.
