The acclaimed UK journalist documents the path of Nazi ideologies through hiring of former SS officers by #cia and #OperationPaperclip in the #us

Many of these people never gave up their fascist world views, simply changed employment.

Even during the cold war, they had a consistent strategy in preparing the ground of a resuscitation of #nazism: "Inflate the threat from left-wing politics".

Sound familiar?

#Trump claimed that his #trade policy will be “great” for the American #farmer because they won’t have to compete w/foreign producers.

Actual #farmers point out that the #US #agriculture industry produces far more corn, soybeans, pork, chicken, cattle etc. than Americans could possibly consume. Farmers say they need foreign markets, but other countries impose #tariffs on their goods in #retaliation for Trump’s tariffs. That cuts them off from the foreign customers they need.

It is now illegal to transmit personal information of EU citizens to cloud infrastructure in the #US as they won't be protected by the #GDPR.

Many European service providers will have to move quickly to avoid fines, but eventually #EU data will be held in the EU, benefiting companies in Europe, and supporting #DigitalSovereignty.

That means AWS, Azure, Google and iCloud can lose a sizeable chunk of their customer base if no moves are made. I am all for it.

'Dear White Women Cheering Iranian Women'
feministgiant.com/p/essay-dear…
Excellent piece by the wonderful Mona Eltahawy

Some TL:DR quotes:
"This isn’t a “whose flavour of patriarchy is worse” letter. This is a “fuck the patriarchy everywhere” grenade that I gift to you. This is not The Handmaid’s Tale, it’s real life. This is a wake the fuck up because clearly you’ve been drifting, cruising on the delusions that your whiteness will save you from white supremacist patriarchy."

"The patriarchy atop theocracy melange of Iran’s “morality police” is easier to see because it is so visibly expressed in enforced hijab. But what is the enforced pregnancy of the Christian zealots in the U.S. but a melange of patriarchy built atop theocracy right here?"

"Fuck theocracy everywhere.

Fuck fascism everywhere.

Fuck the patriarchy in every time zone and every universe.

Burn. Shit. Down."
