#unlawful

Feckless and clueless, #Trump is lost in #Iran, unable to find a way out of the disastrous #war he started. Once again, the #US #military is pummelling the country and, increasingly, its #civilian #infrastructure. As before, this #unlawful bludgeoning strengthens the resistance of a hardline regime that cares little for its people’s suffering. How often have Trump and #Hegseth, the #Pentagon’s wildling lord of bones, hailed a #bogus #victory? The #president claimed this week to be “winning big”. No one believes him. Even as it counts the vast human and economic cost of his Persian #folly, a watching world #scoffs at US #impotence. #uspol #TrumpRegime #TrumpDictatorship #IranWar #EndlessWars https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/18/donald-trump-iran-world-danger-bombing-us

After Spying on #StandingRock Protest, #TigerSwan Shopped Info to Oil Firms by Alleen Brown and Naveena Sadasivam 04/17/2023 ""More than 50,000 pages of documents were recently made public after the company behind the Dakota Access pipeline lost a court case to keep them secret." "Leaked documents and public records reveal a troubling fusion of private security, public law enforcement, and corporate money in the fight over the Dakota Access pipeline." "A new business model for breaking down environmental movements was being hatched in real time. On Labor Day weekend in 2016, private security dogs in North Dakota attacked #pipeline opponents led by members of the #StandingRockSioux Tribe as they approached earth-moving equipment. The tribal members considered the land sacred, and the heavy equipment was breaking ground to build the Dakota Access pipeline. With a major public relations crisis on its hands, the pipeline’s parent company, Energy Transfer, hired the firm TigerSwan to revamp its security strategy. "By October, TigerSwan — founded by James Reese, a retired commander of the elite special operations Army unit Delta Force — had established a military-style pipeline security strategy. "There was one nagging problem that threatened to unravel it all: Reese hadn’t acquired a security license from the North Dakota Private Investigation and Security Board. Although Reese claimed TigerSwan wasn’t conducting security services at all, the state regulator insisted that its operations were #unlawful without a license." https://theintercept.com/2023/04/13/standing-rock-tigerswan-protests/ #Activism #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalJustice #StandWithStandingRock #NoDAPL #Mercenaries #BigOil #ClimateJustice #ACAB

“Palestine Action Victory Vindicates Direct Action & Breaking Genocidal & Immoral Laws” by veteran UK socialist & anti-Zionist campaigner Tony Greenstein in his latest blogpost @uk_politics @palestine@fedibird.com @Palestine@masto.ai @palestine@lemmy.ml “However we should not be complacent. The decision is extremely problematic. The arguments that the three judges – Dames Victoria Sharp & Karen Steyn & Jonathan Swift - the most reactionary, pro-Zionist and security minded of the High Court, based their decision on, are extremely feeble and in places obscure and contradictory” https://azvsas.blogspot.com/2026/02/palestine-action-victory-vindicates.html #Press #SocialMedia #PalestineAction #Proscription #Unlawful #Victory #Vindication #Appeal #Judges #Reactionary #ProZionist #Labour #Starmer #Cooper #HomeOffice #Israel #Elbit
