Progressives routinely apply the terms 'fascism' and 'Nazism' to anything of which they disapprove.

And naturally, The Guardian's Richard Wolffe marches into the same trap. "Yet more proof: Donald Trump is a fascist sympathiser" was the title of his article last night.

"It was true after the racist mob in Charlottesville three months ago. And it's still true today: Donald J Trump quite literally sympathizes with fascists," Wolffe writes. But what makes Britain First or American ultra Nationalists into 'fascists' is not obvious.

Evidently, Wolffe doesn't like Jayda Fransen and Britain First. He is not alone. I am also not a fan. But is Britain First 'fascist'? Do they believe in socialism within a state? Or the socialism of a people? Equality of one race? Does Britain First preach equality of any sort? Fascism is a secularist viewpoint that rejects religion, the Guardian may need to explain to us how Fransen and her 'Christian Patrols' fit within the term 'Fascism?' And what about authoritarianism, do we have good reason to believe that Fransen is a tyrannical character of any sort?

Wolffe's observation that "Fransen sounds a lot like the president of the United States." is correct as far as it goes. And the American President was unapologetic about retweeting Fransen's videos. While the entire British cabinet expressed frustration over the presidential endorsement of a British fringe right wing group, Trump showed the finger to Theresa and her kingdom.

The conviction of Ratko Mladic and the end of the Yugoslav tribunal - have we been told the full story?

To the surprise of no-one, Ratko Mladic was convicted in the final act of the Yugoslav tribunal in The Hague. A fitting end to 'a monster of ferocity and anger' as one journalist saw fit to describe him. But have we been told the full story?

It was straightforward, goodies-and-baddies stuff: an aggressor motivated by ethnic hatred attacking the victims, and the whole thing rendered inevitable by the long period in which tensions were pent-up.

Even when NATO went several bridges too far in attacking Belgrade, the years of propaganda from sources with then-relatively intact reputations would have led many to shrug with resignation and apathy.

Nasrallah spells it out again: The US supported ISIS in every possible way and continues to do so (video)

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayed Hassan Nasrallah


Speech by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayed Hassan Nasrallah on November 20, 2017, following the victory of Abu Kamal and one day after the meeting of the Arab League which again designated Hezbollah as a terrorist organization

Transcript:

[...] When we get to the point where Iraqi leaders will announce their final victory against ISIS and Syrian leaders will announce the final victory against ISIS, we will have to sit and talk, we will need to make calls, organize conferences and studies...

Of course, we will also need real festivities to celebrate the victory because it will be a great victory, a victory against the organization representing the greatest danger (for all) that soiled more than anyone the religion of Muhammad b. Abdillah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, since 1,400 years. This will be the victory of humanistic and moral values against horrific bestiality, cruelty and violence. A victory that will have a huge impact on the cultural, religious, humanitarian, military, security, political levels, as well as on the very image (of Islam and Muslims) and at all levels.

Soros's self-contradictory positions on racism

Soros
The international financier George Soros is condemned by the Israeli regime because he opposes that apartheid state - he regards its two-tier system that privileges Jews and disadvantages non-Jews who are Muslims, "Palestinians," as being the barbarism that it so obviously is (except to the governments of the United States and its allies, who support - and the US even outright donates $3.8 billion per year to - the apartheid Jewish regime there). Earlier, in 1979, Soros had similarly opposed the anti-Black apartheid regime of South Africa. So, his opposition to apartheid is clear, and it is consistent.

However, in regards to bigotry against Russians, Soros intensely champions and funds that particular form of racism, and he has even carried out a major campaign to get EU taxpayers to pick up $50 billion of the cost to impose that racism specifically against Russians and against supporters of Russians who live in Ukraine, and against Russians and pro-Russians who still survive in the parts of Ukraine that in 2014 broke away from Ukraine after US President Barack Obama's bloody anti-Russian coup just months before, had overthrown the democratically elected President of Ukraine, who was seeking to have good relations with both the United States and Russia. (The Obama regime perpetrated a coup which replaced that Ukrainian President and his allies in the legislature, replaced them by a racist-fascist or ideologically nazi Ukrainian regime that quickly began an ethnic-cleansing operation to kill or drive out the residents in the part of Ukraine that had voted more than 90% for the overthrown President and that refused to be ruled by the Obama-imposed anti-Russian nazis.)

North Korea tells the world its position but no one listens except Russia

There is surprisingly little guess-work involved when it comes to understanding North Korea's position on negotiations. To pretend North Korea is an enigma, is to be as ignorant as Nikki Haley.

During debates over whether the US will ever be willing to approach North Korea and request a good faith dialogue to calm tensions in the region, one cannot help but think there is a certain useless quality to such questions. How can the US be ready for dialogue with another country when the US appears not even to fully listen to what North Korea says very clearly in public? Forgetting North Korea, when the US doesn't even listen to North Korea's neighbours China and Russia, one must come to terms with the impossibility of the US as a good faith dialogue partner.

North Korea's position vis-a-vis its contemporary weapons programme has always been clear. One needn't be a spy or have secret drones flying over Pyongyang to ascertain this. One only needs to use the internet to read official statements from the DPRK and listen to what its diplomats say at places like the UN.

North Korea's current position can be easily defined as follows:

The DPRK will not negotiate the state of its weapons programme until such a time that the DPRK achieves nuclear parity with the United States.

In this context, parity does not mean the same number of nuclear bombs and nuclear warhead capable missiles as the United States. It would take decades for North Korea to reach such a parity. Instead, North Korea seeks to achieve the ability to deliver a nuclear weapon to US soil, just as the US can do the same in respect of North Korea (and the rest of the world).

Julian Assange and Roger Stone
Julian Assange fired back at CNN after the network ran a story repeating claims by former Trump advisor Roger Stone. Stone had claimed that radio personality-comedian Randy Credico was an "intermediary" between him and the Wikileaks co-founder.

"CNN, don't forget these other WikiLeaks' 'contacts' and 'intermediaries': Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper & Brian Stelter who also all interviewed me in 2016," Assange tweeted on Thursday, referring to three of the network's hosts and journalists. "Stone continues to troll you silly, but being fake news, you love it."

Terrorists could soon use swarms of killer robots to launch lethal attacks against the West, the vice-president of a European defense giant has warned. Thales VP Alvin Wilby told a House of Lords committee that it's only a matter of time.

While a visit from Skynet's T-800 Model 101 Terminator isn't too likely, an assault by "swarms" of killer drones could be in the cards. Wilby told the Lords Artificial Intelligence (AI) Committee on Tuesday that terrorists will be able to get their mits on killer robots "in the very near future."

"It's just a question of time and scale and I think that's an absolute certainty that we should worry about," Wilby said.

"This capability is out there ... scaling it up to swarms [of drones] doesn't need any huge inventive step, it's just a question of resources, time, and scale. I think that's an absolute certainty that we should worry about."

Wilby reminded the committee that civilian drones are already being used in warfare, pointing out that in 2015 a Japanese civilian tried to deliver "radioactive sand" to the Japanese prime minister.

Comment: He should be more concerned about the US Military and the chaos they create with their drone strikes.

US will continue to use internationally condemned cluster bombs, until 'enhanced more reliable munitions' become available

The Pentagon will soon issue a new policy on cluster bombs, abandoning a previous plan that mandated the military ditch older versions of the controversial weapons by 2019, according to a copy of a Defense Department memorandum signed by Deputy Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan and obtained by CNN.

"The Department will retain cluster munitions currently in active inventories until the capabilities they provide are replaced with enhanced and more reliable munitions," the memorandum said.

The memo called the weapons "an effective and necessary capability."

Cluster bombs -- which not only deliver an initial explosion on impact but also contain multiple smaller bombs that spread over a wide area -- are largely condemned by the international community due to the risk of civilian casualties when they're used in populated areas.


Comment: One way to avoid international condemnation is to stop releasing civilian causality statistics altogether:
