The Undercover Policing Inquiry hearings continue to rumble on here in the UK. Amongst more details on what we already knew was this casually dropped bit of saying the quiet part out loud, when a spy cop is talking about his infiltration of the Stephen Lawerence Family Campaign:

"We're about gathering intelligence, not smearing individuals. That's a security service job. Let them do that."

Followed by mild panic from the officer, questioner, and them cutting the livestream.

Uh, so the Venezuelan opposition released their "results" which is Gonzalez 69.46% x Maduro 30.54%. But what about the other candidates? The CNE results show that the other candidates accounted for 4.6% of the votes.

The opposition site doesn't work, always giving me a connection error. A bunch of people saying the site doesn't work. Wikipedia source is literally an El País article that doesn't mention the opposition results.

Update 1: It seems the website doesn't show the results, but to see if your vote was counted...

Update 2: None of the links they provided work or show the results. Really great job, congrats to the CIA for being this lazy.

Update 3: All of the websites ask for a Venezuelan id. Probably stealing people's ID to use in scams. The people who posted prints of what shows after they insert the ID is the place they voted... I know Maduro said letting these people free is better than arresting them because they are dumb. But they are really fucking dumb.

Update 4: The website doesn't work, Machado and Gonzalez probably went to sleep inside the Argentine Embassy. My guess is that they fucked up the made up results didn't have anything ready beside "MUH GONZALEZ WON WITH 99% with 99 BRAZILLIONS VOTES FROM VUVUZELANS". This is like when Bolsonaro in 2022 presented ULTIMATE proof that there was electoral fraud. And his proof was that his didn't use all his time on the radio. Then the Supreme Court told him to go fuck himself and gave him a 22 million reais penalty to pay.

Update 5: Now Machado gave up on the whole Website idea, and sent out a whatsapp message to her supporters saying they won now with 81%. Can't wait to see soon that they won with 100% of the votes.

Venezuela’s authoritarian leader, Nicolás Maduro, was declared the winner of the country’s tumultuous presidential election early Monday, despite enormous momentum from an opposition movement that had been convinced this was the year it would oust Mr. Maduro’s socialist-inspired party.

The NYT's opening paragraph from its Venezeula article. A thing of beauty. The blue meth of pure ideology.

During the 25 years Mr. Maduro’s party has been in power, it has presided over an economic contraction unlike any seen outside war

The election was being watched closely in Washington, which has spent years trying push Mr. Maduro from office, levying brutal sanctions in 2019 that have strangled the country’s already crippled economy.

For a time it did. But in recent years, the socialist model has given way to brutal capitalism, economists say, with a small state-connected minority controlling much of the nation’s wealth.

Mr. Chávez swept to power in 1999 following a democratic election, vowing to remake a system led by a corrupt elite. Today, his movement runs a state widely viewed as corrupt, and his party’s leaders are the elite — and Ms. Machado and Mr. González had promised to oust them.

Are they trying to appeal to Trotskyists here?

Israel did not win any medals at the Olympic Games? Why are they allowed but Russia and Belarus (?) are banned?

Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro has ordered diplomats at the Chilean embassy in Venezuela to leave the country. This movement should cause a breakdown in relations between the two countries.

Get fucked Boric lol

Lula da Silva and Joe Biden will talk on the phone tomorrow about the situation in Venezuela. Conversation was requested by the American government.

Will Lula say to Biden to tell Blinken to stop fucking writting about Maduro, like he did with Bush and Condoleezza Rice when they were attacking Chavez?

The Workers' Party (Brazil, Lula's Party) recognized Maduro's victory in free, peaceful and fair elections.

Fash channels are currently live reporting a "uprising" in the UK because someone set fire to a police station in Sunderland

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cnl0lkrxgvxo

This is starting to look like a contagion that lumpen are all jumping on up and down the country. The contagion is similar to the 2011 riots, a lot of the poorest in the UK using it as an excuse to go out and wreck anything and everything for a bit of a laugh. No goal in mind, just wanna smash shit up. They're falling in with the fascists acting as a vanguard but the contagion is roughly the same energy as back then.

There has been an assassination attempt against Sudanese President Abdel Fattah al-Burhan by means of an explosives-laden drone during a military graduation ceremony in Port Sudan. Al Burhan has not suffered injuries but 5 other soldiers have died.

Not able to find any violence reported in Machester today where trans pride was happening. Fash failed to muster more than antifascist counter demonstrators.

It's take a few days to get organised but antifascist action looks like it's going to make this fizzle out now.

BREAKING: The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announces the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of Hamas, and a bodyguard of his following an attack in Tehran.

Diplomatic battles continue as the Venezuelan government breaks relations with Peru after the Boluarte government decided to "recognize" Edmundo González as "president-elect" (who recognizes that?)

Still, pretty ironic for Peru's unelected coup government to be spouting nonsense about democracy

Maduro should recognize Pedro Castillo as the President.

Nothing but a shameful death to all Zionists everywhere.

The president of Iran, Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian, wrote in his user account on the X social network:

Today, dear Iran is mourning its partner in sorrow and joy, the eternal and proud companion of the path of resistance, the brave leader of the Palestinian resistance, the martyr of al-Quds, Haj Ismail Haniyeh. Yesterday I raised his victorious hand and today I have to bury him on my shoulders.

Martyrdom is the art of men of God. The bond between the two proud nations of Iran and Palestine will be stronger than before, and the path of resistance and defense of the oppressed will be followed stronger than ever. The Islamic Republic of Iran will defend its territorial integrity, honor and respect, and make the terrorist invaders regret their cowardly action.

"Indeed, Allah is the Most Merciful and Vengeful"

President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro denounced late Friday, a false flag attack being planned by the opposition. According to intelligence received, it would take place in the Bello Monte area of Caracas.

I remain convinced that Starmer had a pact with Farage, which led to Labour pulling support for their candidate in Clacton when he started gaining ground on Farage. Actions like this make me think it is an ongoing thing.

OPEC recognizes Maduro's victory.

This is the news mega equivalent of queuing overnight to buy Tay Tay tickets

Brazil, like Mexico, rejects OAS note against Venezuela.

Brazil has been saying behind the scenes that the ideal is for the OAS not to take a position in any way, as it would be counterproductive for it to do so. Brazilian diplomats believe that the body has lost its ability to deal with issues relating to Venezuela because it is considered by Brazilian sources to be biased and close to the United States, which has a critical view of Venezuela.

Diplomats report that the OAS, for example, accepted Venezuela's entry into the body after the country's self-declared president Juan Guaidó, an opponent of Maduro, expressed interest in joining the collegiate body. After the crisis with Guaidó, the country never rejoined the OAS, which limits, according to Itamaraty sources, the possibility of the country taking a position on itself. For this reason, there is a perception that any manifestation by the OAS could be used politically by Maduro himself, given the organization's history against the regime

Other countries, such as Paraguay and the Dominican Republic, which initially supported the note, considered it a bad move behind the scenes. Since the OAS is considered to be very biased against Venezuela.

All Latin American countries need to exit the OAS asap

PressTV is reporting the murder of Haniyeh in a likely attack by the entity.

Korea Herald: Covert agent identity leaks trigger alarm over S. Korea's intelligence operations

An ongoing investigation into the leak of military secrets, including personal details of South Korean covert agents abroad, has raised serious concerns about the potential impact on the human intelligence operations critical for gathering information on North Korea.

South Korea's Defense Ministry confirmed Tuesday that its central military court issued an arrest warrant for a civilian military employee of the Korean Defense Intelligence Command "on charges including leaking military secrets" in a statement.

The official has been accused of leaking sensitive information of the intelligence command, including the names, locations and other personal details of South Korean covert agents, including those who engaged in human intelligence operations abroad, to a Chinese citizen of Korean ethnicity.

Hearing that after the success of the "White Women: Answer The Call! Show up for Kamala Harris" and "White Dudes for Harris" zoom calls, the Harris campaign will be organizing a southern outreach zoom call titled "White Knights for Kkkamala".

The municipal government of Aarhus, Denmark's second-largest city, has decided to suspend a social educator named Simon el-Zinaib as a result of an Arab-language Facebook post in which he expressed sorrow over the death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh who was murdered by a zionist terror attack in Iran.

In the post el-Zinaib referred to Haniyeh as a "great leader" and expressed the wish for Allah to accept him among the martyrs. The post has since been removed by the US-government affiliated platform, citing alleged violations of guidelines.

Public uproar has already pressured el-Zinaib to resign from the national integration council where he has been advising the regime on integration of ethnic minorities. Kaare Dybvad, the virulently anti-immigrant head of the nation's succdem-controlled ministry for foreigners and integration appointed el-Zinaib but has now made statements about how he condemns the statements and how "prising the leader of a terrorist organisation" is irreconcilable with serving on the integration council.

In Aarhus Anders Winneskjold, head of the city's succdem-controlled social affairs and employment department, is equally brash, claiming that such statements are "incompatible" with working for the city. He refuses to make further comments, referring to the now-initiated legal process to fire el-Zinaib.

Prior to being thrown out, el-Zinaib was working in a poor immigrant neighbourhood of Aarhus doing crime prevention.

US Deputy Ambassador to the UN, Lloyd Austin, some UK Labour party person (don't remember who) all unanimously and vociferously talking about how Iran and Hezbollah must be condemned and must not retaliated right now. And emphasizing the obviously Israeli attack on those Druze children. I think they are expecting Iran will retaliate hard and expecting to use that to escalate.

I am starting to change my mind that the US actually DOES want this to escalate. Biden is out to lunch, Blinken now is in full control of US policy now, and I think he is ready to go.

Latest Jeremy Scahill interview

Does Israel Really Believe It Can Win a War Against Hezbollah?

Amal Saad, a leading expert on the Lebanese resistance movement, says all-out war could lead to Israel’s downfall

Lots of good reasons why Hezbollah didn't do the missile strike the other day.

Putin needs to give nukes to Israels neighbours now. That’s the only way NATO will understand that genocide is not ok.

Don't forget to vote for Edmundo Gonzalez and his VP, Juan Guaido, in the US elections

A coup attempt is underway in Venezuela as protests from right-wing groups break out seeking to paralyze the cities and overturn the Presidential elections results.

A few hours earlier the electoral court formally declared Nicolás Maduro as the winner, shortly after groups descended on the capital attempting to reach the presidential palace but we're forced back by security forces. Some groups have reached the international airport of the capital but no signs of a breach thus far.

Opposition supporters are also circulating videos from protests in 2017 and 2019 in an attempt to exaggerate the size of the current mobilizations. While the US State Department and right-wing governments in the region have questioned the results, international observer reports are yet to publish their findings, with no significant irregularities reported on the day of the vote.

Venezuela’s right-wing opposition and US media outlets claim there was fraud in the July 28 election based on an exit poll done by US government-linked firm Edison Research, which works with CIA-linked US state propaganda organs and was active in Ukraine, Georgia, and Iraq.

low energy coup

Mexico just said that the elections in Venezuela were peaceful, they are waiting for the final results. Same thing as Brazil, Colombia and Turkey, and the Carter Center. Basically denies any fraud accusation.

Abdul Malik Al Houthi speaking at 16:00 Jerusalem time, so 4 hours left until the speech. He needs to be quick, because Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah is speaking one hour later, at 17:00 Jerusalem time.

Remember the official news mega rule when it comes to speeches, nothing will happen because no "underdog" will ever announce a war on live TV without the surprise factor. Well of course except Ukraine who made a commercial for their counter offensive. I recommend listening to the Nasrallah speech, fantastic speaker and he shines in these situations.
