Flashback: In 2021, Australia's then conservative government backstabbed the French to trash a multi-billion deal for high-grade submarines all to suck up to the United States for the privilege of paying for their nuclear submarine bases on our soil.

The 'deal,' known as AUKUS, involves Australia handing over hundreds of billions of dollars for Virginia Class Submarines which, most agree, will never be delivered and which the current US leader can not even name.

In February, Australia handed over a cheque for $800 million as part of the arrangement.

All for technology that was obsolete twenty years ago and, even if delivered, will get murdered by the first wave of hostile submersible drone swarms it encounters.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office Appeals to the Court of Cassation Against the Release of Georges Abdallah: France


770790

The Public Prosecutor’s Office has appealed to the Court of Cassation against the decision of the Paris Court of Appeal of February 20th. This Court of Appeal, without calling into question Georges’ release obtained in the first instance on November 15, 2024, had decided to adjourn to a new hearing, set for June 19, so that he could “justify a significant effort to compensate the civil parties”, an unprecedented “legal pettiness” according to Georges’ lawyer. In this new approach, the prosecutor’s office (which depends directly on the government) is fulfilling its role, which has always consisted of doing everything possible to keep Georges Abdallah in prison. The Court of Cassation, if it does not reject this appeal, may or may not decide whether or not to quash the decision of the Court of Appeal, in whole or in part. It could also decide to send the case back to another court of appeal for retrial.
