Musk, Meta fuel far-right attack against EU tech ‘censorship’
Far-right lawmakers feel empowered to step up their attacks against EU social media rules.Pieter Haeck (POLITICO)
Proof (if it was ever needed) Musk’s as right wing as you can get. When he started SpaceX I saw him as a visionary, now I think he’s a strange, deranged, and very disturbing Bond villain…

Elon Musk's AfD broadcast cleared up any doubts over his attitude to Germany's far right
The X owner's conversation with AfD's co-leader was broadcast live on the social media app - and saw Alice Weidel make the remarkable claim that Adolf Hitler was not a far right dictator but "a socialist, communist guy".Adam Parsons (Sky News)

America’s Right-Wing Propaganda Problem Might Be Terminal | Dame Magazine
America’s descent into mass delusion isn’t happenstance. The demise of courageous journalism isn’t a happy accident. Its replacement with engagement-chasing infotainment and propaganda isn’t an error.Karl Bode (Dame Magazine)
It was addressed to me.
The documents laid out a remarkable odyssey. Posing as an ideological compatriot, Williams had penetrated the top ranks of two of the most prominent right-wing militias in the country. He’d slept in the home of the man who claims to be the new head of the Oath Keepers, rifling through his files in the middle of the night. He’d devised elaborate ruses to gather evidence of militias’ ties to high-ranking law enforcement officials. He’d uncovered secret operations like the surveillance of a young journalist, then improvised ways to sabotage the militants’ schemes. In one group, his ploys were so successful that he became the militia’s top commander in the state of Utah.
Now he was a fugitive. He drove south toward a desert four hours from the city, where he could disappear."

In an impassioned post that curiously didn't mention Israel, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization, begged for an end to attacks on Gaza's hospitals. He also called for the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, whom Israeli forces recently disappeared. Once considered a heinous violation of the laws of war, Israeli attacks on hospitals have become routine, all but destroying Gaza's healthcare infrastructure.#gaza #israel #Genocide #farright #fascism #massmurder #worldhealthorganization #USPol #trump #biden #imperialism

But Israel in particular represents a contradiction in the ideological armature of the “democratic” world. It was the creation of a post-war order that was supposed to replace brute force with international law and to do justice to the victims of genocide. Instead, it stands for the cruelly ironic failure and repudiation of that hope. Its present incarnation gives the lie to the notion that “Western Civilization” means much more than technologized barbarism.#gaza #Genocide #israel #biden #netanyahu #farright #gazagenocide

A third Trump term would be "in direct violation of the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution."
But GOP lawyer & Trump defender Mike Davis reportedly told Bannon that "bcz the Constitution doesn’t actually say ‘consecutive', Trump may be able to run for a third term."

"Collectively, all these elite decisions to bow to Trump make it feel like the air is going out of the old liberal order.”

IMHO, the so-called "old liberal order" wasn't as liberal as many like to believe.

'Great capitulation': Writer warns 'ruthless' new opposition coming as elites bow to Trump
The kowtowing of multiple liberal elitists who formerly opposed Donald Trump has a New York Times writer shocked — but she warned their submission would make way for a much stronger opposition.Adam Nichols (Raw Story - Celebrating 20 Years of Independent Journalism)
Apparently the Korean political Right doesn’t think a coup attempt is a problem: so his People Power Party boycotted the vote.

"#Historian #LawrenceBritt studied the fascist regimes of #Hitler (Germany), #Mussolini (Italy), #Franco (Spain), #Suharto (Indonesia), and #Pinochet (Chile) and found they had 14 elements in common. He calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism.
1. Powerful and Continuing #Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of #patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. #Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of #HumanRights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, and long incarcerations of prisoners.
3. Identification of #Enemies / #Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: #racial, #ethnic or #religious #minorities; #liberals; #communists; #socialists, #terrorists…
4. Supremacy of the #Military
Even when there are widespread #domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant #Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional #gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to #abortion is high, as is #homophobia and anti-#gay legislation.
6. Controlled #MassMedia
Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation or by sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Government #censorship and #secrecy especially in war time, are very common.
7. Obsession with #NationalSecurity
Fear of hostile foreign powers is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. #Religion and Government are Intertwined
Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
9. Protection of #Corporate Power
The #industrial and business #aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Suppression of #Labor Power
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor #unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for #Intellectuals and the #Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to #HigherEducation and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other #academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
12. Obsession with #Crime and #Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the #police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego #CivilLiberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant #Cronyism and #Corruption
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. #FraudulentElections
Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by #SmearCampaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control #voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
This post is a summary of Fascism, Anyone? by Lawrence W. Britt published in 2003 by Free Inquiry magazine."

Revisited - The Lebensborn programme: When Nazi Germany sought to create an Aryan elite
The Lebensborn programme, meaning spring or source of life, was one of the most secret and incredible projects of the regime in Nazi Germany. Its aim was to give birth to children who were seen as "perfect" in the eyes of the Nazis.Anne MAILLIET (FRANCE 24)
