HMP Overcrowded!

UK: Prison Space Running Out Under Tories! (26.6.2024)

“This will put the public at risk, as people who should be in prison are left to roam the streets,” added the PGA.

The latest data released by the UK’s Ministry of Justice shows that the prisoner population in the UK has reached 87,395, just 1,383 short of the total usable operational capacity.

On May 15, the UK government triggered Operation Early Dawn, delaying the start of some court cases across England.

JP Morgan - Cornerstone of US Neo-Imperialism!

Russia: Court Freezes J.P. Morgan Funds! (25.4.2024)

In response, J.P. Morgan filed a lawsuit against VTB, demanding an end to its request for the 440 million dollars. The claim was submitted to the federal court in Manhattan. J.P. Morgan asserted that VTB had agreed to the account management terms when it opened a correspondent account for transaction processing in 2008. Under the terms, the account would be governed by U.S. laws and could be frozen if required due to sanctions.

VTB was subjected to sanctions by the United States, Britain, and the EU in the spring of 2022. The sanctions involve asset freezes and a prohibition of transactions with these assets by individuals and legal entities from those countries.

The Beautiful Boy!

Emails: The Homosocial World of King James I – as Recorded in Shakespeare’s Sonnets! (10.3.2024)

The Sonnets have been altered, suppressed and repressed over the last four hundred years – and particularly since the advent of the 1885 anti-gay laws in the UK (passed at the same time as the ancient Age of Consent of ’12’ was raised to ’13’ and then to ’16’ in quick succession) which were used to try and imprison Oscar Wilde in 1895. With the 1967 abolition of these anti-gay laws (which outlawed sexual activity between consenting adult men) – the Sonnets were once again lauded as masterpieces of observation and wit. I suspect that an updated edition of Arden will introduce a more astute LBGTQN+ interpretation – one that this community might well find inspiring and uplifting.

Good Bye Rachel Corrie!

The Day the Zionists “Murdered” Rachel Corrie! (31.1.2024)

The Zionist IDF refused to acknowledge he murder – stating that Corrie’s death was an ‘accident’ – but ISM eyewitnesses dispute this account, contending that the bulldozer driver deliberately aimed his vehicle at Corrie and deliberately ‘crushed’ – as she was protesting in plain view. Despite numerous legal actions taken against the Zionist entity – the corrupt Israeli State refused to hold the IDF responsible for Rachel Corrie’s murder – implying that this is what will happen to anyone who ‘interferes’ in Zionist activities in Palestine! I was forwarded these pictures by someone who was present during the IDF murder of Rachel Corrie.

Alverna Cher Sheue Pin

Singapore: Chinese-Language Summary of “Alverna Cher Sheue Pin [徐雪彬]” Trial! (20.12.2023)

Having now read about the details of this case in a Chinese-language context – I know have a much better grasp about WHAT is going on. To be honest, I think the Singapore State is “reaching”. The elaborate story the State has constructed is so bizarre as to beggar belief! The narrative is so subtle, devious and complex that it is unlikely that all of it could have unfolded according to plan and without any hitches. To be blunt – I think it is implausible and that the Singapore State would have preferred that Alverna Cher Sheue Pin simply pleaded “Guilty” out of fear – and then the State would not have to hold a trial and be made to prove its case! Of course, there is always the outside change that Alverna Cher Sheue Pin is an absolute criminal genius – but then again – all successful capitalists are!
