Standing By,
Egypt has just issued a rare and oddly specific NOTAM, or Notice to Air Missions alert, instructing all of its airlines to avoid Iranian airspace for a 3-hour period in the overnight and early morning hours of Thursday. Some other countries have since followed in issuing similar do not fly alerts, including the UK.
"All Egyptian carriers shall avoid overflying Tehran. No flight plan will be accepted overflying such territory," the notice says. Specifically the instructions are valid from 01:00 to 04:00GMT (or 9pm to 12am US Eastern). Will the big expected Iranian retaliation be tonight? ...
..Reuters has picked up on and reported the NOTAM as well, saying based on Egyptian government sources that Cairo was notified by Iranian authorities that airlines should avoid traversing Iranian airspace due to overnight "military exercises". https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/do-not-fly-alert-over-iran-issued-airlines-during-oddly-specific-night-hours "All Egyptian carriers shall avoid overflying Tehran.

Gilbert Doctorow, Hiroshima commemoration and the genocide in Gaza: discussion on Iran’s Press TV
On Russian state television, by contrast significant attention was given to the proceedings, beginning with exposing the extraordinary hypocrisy of the Japanese prime minister’s address in which no mention was made of who had dropped the bomb. Meanwhile, Russia and Belarus were not invited to the ceremony whereas more than 100 other countries were. But then again, the Palestinians were also excluded, whereas Israel was welcomed to Hiroshima by the city’s mayor...
..Israel’s presence had prompted protest demonstrations in Hiroshima on the day before, 5 August, with signs reading “No to the Genocide State.” The logical connection was clear: the above-mentioned civilian deaths in Hiroshima are matched with the 40,000 plus deaths in Gaza by the official tally, in reality perhaps 200,000 deaths if one factors in death by hunger and disease in a situation where food supplies are being withheld and medical facilities have been destroyed.
In my interview, I called out the paradox: whatever the intentions of the organizers, de facto the inclusion of Israeli representatives was justified given that precisely Israel is positioning itself as the likely second nation after the United States to use nuclear weapons in wartime. I say this because it is an open secret that Israel has been pondering dropping the bomb on Gaza to hasten the elimination of the Palestinian population or on southern Lebanon to eliminate Hezbollah once and for all.
That Israel has long wished to atomic-bomb Iran is known to all for more than a decade. It has been restrained from doing so only by lack of needed air support from the United States. https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/hiroshima-commemoration-and-the-genocide

A new report from The Washington Post published on 29 July details Israel’s torture, starvation, and killing of Palestinians in its prison system in a manner resembling the notorious US prison in Guantanamo Bay.
Based on eyewitness accounts from former prisoners and autopsies carried out by Israeli authorities, The Post reports that “One Palestinian inmate died with a ruptured spleen and broken ribs after being beaten by Israeli prison guards. Another met an excruciating end because a chronic condition went untreated. A third screamed for help for hours before dying.” https://scheerpost.com/2024/08/06/palestinian-prisoners-endure-guantanamo-like-conditions-in-israeli-torture-camps-report-2/

Here’s the problem. You can’t borrow your way out of debt. All that does is add yet more interest payments, and it’s a Ponzi scheme. The fact is that global south countries and other countries can’t pay the debt out of their existing output, because they can’t print the dollars. They can only print their own currency, and if they throw that on the market to buy dollars, the currency is going to go way down, their import prices go up, and they have inflation.
A country can say, okay, I realize, like Argentina or Brazil, we realize this, but if we don’t pay the debt, then the credit of the bondholders can do what they did to Argentina under Judge Grisa. Grisa can say, well, grab all of their assets abroad that you can do.
You mentioned that China changed the picture. There’s only one way that third world countries can repudiate the debt, and that is banding together and saying, well, we’re going to repudiate the debt, and if the bondholders in America and Europe try to grab our resources there, then we’ll retaliate by nationalizing the foreign ownership of our own land and mineral rights and public utilities that we’ve had to sell off under the IMF promises that this will make us more competitive. https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2024/08/04/debt-politics-wealth-flow-poor-rich/

NewsGuard and the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) have been criticized as the most sophisticated components of a modern blacklisting system targeting conservative or dissenting voices. I recently had a series of exchanges with NewsGuard after a critical column. Now, the House Judiciary Committee under Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is moving forward in demanding documents and records from leading companies utilizing the GARM system, a company that I have previously criticized. It is a welcomed effort for anyone who is concerned over the use of these blacklisting systems to curtail free speech... The House committees are pushing forward with a sense of urgency. It is clear that the investigations in government-supported censorship and these blacklisting operations will end if the Democrats retake the house. It is expected that these companies will seek to delay any disclosures in the hope that the House will change hands. https://jonathanturley.org/2024/08/06/the-garms-race-the-house-moves-forward-with-its-investigation-of-blacklisting-company/

A good intention... The Senate just passed a bill that will let the federal and state governments investigate and sue websites that they claim cause kids mental distress. It’s a terrible idea to let politicians and bureaucrats decide what people should read and view online, but the Senate passed KOSA on a 91-3 vote.
Bill proponents have focused on some truly tragic stories of loss, and then tied these tragedies to the internet. But anxiety, eating disorders, drug abuse, gambling, tobacco and alcohol use by minors, and the host of other ills that KOSA purports to address all existed well before the internet.
The Senate vote means that the House could take up and vote on this bill at any time. The House could also choose to debate its own, similarly flawed, version of KOSA.
The vast majority of speech that KOSA affects is constitutionally protected in the U.S., which is why there is a long list of reasons that KOSA is unconstitutional. Unfortunately, the lawmakers voting for this bill have hand-waved away those concerns. https://scheerpost.com/2024/08/06/the-kosa-internet-censorship-bill-just-passed-the-senate-its-our-last-chance-to-stop-it/Bill proponents have focused on some truly tragic stories of loss, and then tied these tragedies to the internet.

Former Moldovan Parliamentarian and Orthodox Christian against globalism, Yuri Roshka: 6 years imprisonment for the offense of voicing an opinion
In connection with my six-year prison sentence, I was asked by some friends from abroad to briefly explain my case... In March 2022, in the context of Russia's military intervention in Ukraine, by order of the director of the Intelligence and Security Service, his news and political analysis website www.flux.md and his blog www.iurierosca.md were blocked for "war propaganda". These actions were accompanied by insistent attempts by exponents of political power to force the prosecutor's office to initiate criminal proceedings against him.
In the Republic of Moldova, the state administration is controlled by the vast network of mercenaries of the international bankster George Soros. In an attempt to silence Yuri Roshka at any price, the political regime in Chisinau has reactivated an older criminal case, which was fabricated at the behest of the former government's exponents back in 2017. Thus, for 7 years, a case with no judicial prospects, brought at the political behest of a criminal regime, has been illegally resumed and pushed to an absurd and illegal conclusion. Yuri Roshka is accused of influence peddling (or trading in influence, traffic of influence). The whistleblower is a businessman with a dubious reputation who claims to have offered Yuri Roshka in autumn 2009 (!!!) and in March 2011 large sums of money to influence a favorable decision in the Supreme Court of Justice. Evidence - zero, witnesses - zero. During the 7 years that the examination of this case has been dragging on in the first court, three judges have succeeded each other. The first one retired, the second judge proved to be objective and the case was heading towards acquitting Yuri Roshka. Thus, at the request of the lawyers, the court issued a judgment lifting the seizure unlawfully imposed by the prosecutor and the investigating judge on real estate and money not belonging to the defendant. However, the prosecutor's office appealed to the Court of Appeal against this judgment and obtained its annulment...
..An illegal court was established in flagrant violation of national legislation and the European Convention on Human Rights, and the person who administered the case is completely obedient to the political regime in Chisinau.
Thus, for two months, in methodical and gross violation of all legal procedures, including the right to a fair trial, the right to present new witnesses, the right to take the floor in the trial, etc., on August 6, Judge Ana Cucerescu issued a sentence of six years deprivation of liberty, with confiscation of a building and large sums of money which do not belong to the defendant. In addition, Yuri Roshka is banned from leaving the country...
..Sources within the ruling party made it known that by sentencing Yuri Roshka, Judge Ana Cucerescu executed a political order, in exchange for which she demanded administrative advancement. This fact was confirmed by the official statement of former President of the Republic of Moldova Vladimir Voronin on August 6, which claims that an emissary of President Maia Sandu promised this judge the position of member of the Superior Council of Magistracy in exchange for the maximum term of imprisonment of Yuri Roshka. Thus, for two months, in methodical and gross violation of all legal procedures, including the right to a fair trial, the right to present new witnesses, the right to take the floor in the trial, etc., on August 6, Judge Ana Cucerescu issued a sentence of six years deprivation of liberty, with confiscation of a building and large sums of money which do not belong to the defendant. In addition, Yuri Roshka is banned from leaving the country...
To better understand the political context in which the attempt to imprison Yuri Roshka is taking place, we mention the following: Presidential elections will be held in the Republic of Moldova on October 20 this year. The globalist command centers are eager to keep in office the puppet installed 4 years ago, the exponent of the Soros clan Maia Sandu. A national referendum to approve Moldova's course of joining the European Union is also set for October 20, and Yuri Roshka is one of the most vocal and influential critics of both the current head of state and the EU integration line.
Under the protection of the American and European establishment, Chisinau’s rulers, through the exemplary imprisonment of Yuri Roshka, aim to intimidate and silence other critics of the regime.....The only sure argument that could persuade the regime in Chisinau to drop the imprisonment of Yuri Roshka is a strong reaction from political factors and public figures in various countries of the world.
The imprisonment of Yuri Roshka must become electorally disadvantageous for the political clique that controls power in the Republic of Moldova. https://iurierosca.substack.com/p/on-the-verge-of-becoming-a-political/comments
